We are chiefly an agricultural people; hence few find a Grammar School education necessary- to the proper fulfilment of their duties. .Not one youth out of every hundred attends a Grammar School; nevertheless ninety-nine are compelled to give a superior education to tone, thus elevating him above them in So- : ciety, and placing the opportunity of a lucra- l tive prr-t‘esston in his hands.

Her career, so strangely eri'at;c_. so wondefully chchner-' ed, came‘to‘its endon Thursday last. After a lengthened period efsntfcring, during; which the knowledge of her approaching end quick- ened her to renewed prepe’rations to meet it, she breathed her last tranqnitiy, the victim of a paralytic complaint which defied the' medical skill of l Tew York. Her funeral took place on Saturday, and was attended with no: :other demonstration than that of affectionate llementation for one who was known to be kindly in her actions to others. and who, Ein the latter days of her life, succeeded in wi: -' ning the esteem and regard ofa wide circle of‘ ; friendis. l Lola Montez was born in the City of Lim-' l ericlr, Ireland, in the year 1818.

She returned to Europe, 3 and being a young and beautiful child, Wlifl" a ten pc rrnnent of rare vivacity, was welcom- ed in her fati.er‘s family. There was event some jealousy displayed as to who should possess her. A part other time was passed! in rice-Hand, a part in London, a part in Paris.- and finally. apart in Bath, where Lola com- ‘ptleted her education, and made preparation; { ' to return to lndia with her mother.
