I think the most beautiful sea son of all is the spring, because then the trees put out their tet? d?f green leaves,, aud every thing seems to have a freshness about it that,, inspires vigor in the hearts of every living thiug. Even the birds' seem to have a freshuess about them. After spriug comes summer with its abundant fruits. Au other one of summers charms is the beautiful flowers. Although spring is considered as the sea son for. flowers, summer has some beautiful ones too. The climate of summer is very hot in .some places, yet in othtjr places j it is Just moderately vvurm. A great many garden vegetables con\e in summer. Fall is the next season.

We of the present generation ought to discuss ami support this subject ably?< A little girl of a hundred years ago could not ?possibly have treated of the ,a4 vantages of a good education as* well as we. The reason of this is uot because we have more ability, .but because she . knew uothing of such advantages; while we are surrounded on all sides by them. tiood education not only trains our minds but our souls. It broadens and strengthens our Winds, and thus, necessarily, we develop higher morals through its influence. These advantages keeps us in the best classes of society, and help us in .'iil our business relations. Our stand in t he world, and opinion of us by the world, depend entirely upon the (unmount of our education. It is practically a sin, not to re ceive such instruction when we have such splendid appertain ities, as we certainly have; ibe-. . cause (Jod has given to each in dividual, some peculiar bent of mind, and except by education, this talent cannot be developed. We are burying our talents when wo do uot take the advantage of learning. We can succeed as butlers, bar bers, butchers or plough-hands, without knowing a single letter, but a certain mnmoinit, of educa tion is Absolutely necessary even to the store keeper, clerk or farmer. While, of course, a good education is the making of all professional men. Do we take the advantage given us of a good education? We do in a certain sense, but not at all as we should. It is getting so that the black men valutf ?A education much more than the white men. '? - ?; Our nation occupies the bigh position among other nations which she does chiefly becn|^6 of her fostering of educational in terest. If our nation adopts tbiB standard, we ought to try tfttd follow such a standard. r, E. Rives Lang.. ,v Age 10. 3rd Year. High School. Tailoring! Tailoring! < ?

The latest evidence of this fact is that on lasi Saturday evening,: a couple of our white citizens, were rather roughly jarred by a scautling in the hands of a nu gro, all being presumably under the intluOnce of "Crurn" or some thing better. Our space is too" limited in this issue to give de-_ tails, but we will wager dollars to doughnuts that had these young men been able to purchase merely a drink instead of being forced to purchase a half pint, the affair would not have hap pened. i' - "THE BATH ROOM FOR HINJS!" is the cry tins weath.'r.
