The agitation to have free school books
for'echolars is attracting considerable atten-
tion, and, hi Valentine Muggine' opinion, it
is nothing bat right that they should have
them. What teacher is there that is not
continually tomoyed by scholars coming to
school without proper and sufficient books
Free schools have been one of the greatest
blessings to this country, and free books
in the schools will be yet another step to
higher education.
It is about this time of the year that the
peddler begins to ply his trade. Purchasing
all the shop-worn goods from the' mer-
chants, he takes to the road, and succeeds
in beguiling the farmer and his wife into
buying his trash under the impression that
they are "just getting a bargain that would
not be given to any one else," when in fact
tbey pav 'him about twenty per cent. more
than they °meld . buy it for from theretail
merchants. Besides this they get the very
poorest quality of goods, and have to pay
cash for them, whereby if they purchased
direct trom the store, produce could be given
in exchange. Nothing is ever gained by
pr tronizing peddlers.

together of the very poorest quality, but

never seen them nor the autho.'s name be

selves on mischief. Among other places
they visited the barn and noming upon a
hen's neet containing about a dozen eggs,
they thought it would be a good joko to take
them home, unknown to the farmer. The
next thing was, how could they get the
eggs into the farmer's house, before starting
for home. One of the ladies conceived an
idea, and placiug the eggs in the crown of
tbe hat she wore, replaced the hat on her
head, also carrying a oouple of eggs in her
hand to avoid suspicion. Betterniug, the
ledy of the honse directed the mischiefs to
the ieceptacle for eggs, requesting that
• they empty their hands. They went to
the box, but instead of swelling the gather-
ings for the market, the ladies increased
their supply, adding a few more dozen to
those they had found in the barn. They
returned to town safely and have since bsen
