Hie art of not hearing and seeing' lhould.be early acquired- It is just as accessary to not take cognizance of happening* at times, aB it is to observe them alosely at others. There are many things that arc painful to hear or see. If a man should fly into a passion and mil yon all kinds" of namca, shut your mm at the first word; or If you should ice him do tilings you know be Injuroua to your own interests because of an ' ingovernable temper look to one side 'or the time being and see him not. The ■ luninn heart may be likened to a powder i nagsaine, and ;if some of the sparks ly oil from a cyclone of passion in the I ireast of another a great explosion i night follow entailing much misery ma mischief. Slop your ears and shut , four ayes when a passionate and violent . nan would provoke you to wrath, and \ lust do as a sailor would In a tempest et her go off before it under bare poles. If all the things said of one by 111-na-ured persons were harbored and brooded jver, there might be danger of becoming prickly as a pin cushion cactus. So neither see nor hear the things done by rivals in business, or those unfriendly to rou, but shut both organs and "lay to" if the b.eeze Is too great to scud. We hare had a talk with some offl:crs about tardiness, and its tendencies, rbe conclusion was. reader, that it is the Mr. Hyde In school affairs, at least ync of the bad sides of that ubiquitous gentleman. The cure is not so certain, except la city places, when It was agreed that the plan suggested In those columns s couple of weeks ago would remedy the abuse. It is not a hardship, as a rule, to get the young people of at 9 A. M. to their studies.

Then there is no break for the teacher to stop in his work to read notes, and inquire Into particular cases, mnkiug himself open to tho charge of t'o muali interlerenoe with "bom* rule,". 1'ar.nts will very much help those may have commended to them the education of their shfldren to see that the young people of the household are at school In time.
