Moral courage will not only save you out of many temptations; it will give you the moral power to influence others. If Christ helps you to run, you have got to do the running, it depends on; yourself, what position you occupy,' what influence you possess, and what service you render to your Master ami your fellow men?and al*o?how much pure happiness you will enjoy. This opening year will be a profitable and Christ-honoring one to us or not. according as we make the most of our opportunities. A mighty veil hangs over the future, but as (Sod lifts that veil, He can give you and me strength equal to the day. A life whose days are spent in communion with God is trying to reach the the source of power, is the life that move* the world. Reader, be more careful of your lime. Do not let the ' leased moments of life pass without a proper estimate by you of their importance. No man has ever reached the high plaue of scholarship without the cultivation of studious habits. And these habits are conditioned on the proper ion nf Hmo UlC VI iiuiv. Our best deeds are marked" by imperfection, but if they really were out beat, "forgetting the thing* that are behind," we shall do better next time. Faith oueht ever to be a sanguine cheerful thing; and perhaps in practi cal life we could not give a better ac count of faith than by saying that it is, amid much failure, having the heari to try again.

COMPULSORY EDUCATION. ieuniblo Talk by tlie Editor of (lie Greenville Montitnfiieer. Greenville Mountaineer, Feb. 5th. The Senate acted In the interest of the > irboie people when It killed the bill to com- ' iel attendance upon the public schools. The pblle population of South Carolina Is not < eady lor such a drastic measure In regard to he education of their children, and we doubt whether they will reach the point In many ears when such a feature of paternal govern- t Dent will commend itself to their approving J udgment. Aside Irom the principle involved < n tills proposition, which takes awuy from be parent the control of his child in Its ear- I ler yeurs, the Stale ought not to be plunged n u'o turmoil nod dimension by any'such ueans. The public schools are making fairly ood progress lo giviug primary education to > he rnasi>es, and gradually tbe parents are ? ncrea>-)ng their appreciation of ihe oppor- . unities afforded by tbe schools, but the "pro- 1 ;resslve" (?) element In our Sta'e is not eonem with moderate and conservative advanceuenlol our educatloual policy, and they are Djecllng new and IrrltHtlng plans Into the yolem, such as compu sory attendance and I xperi supervision, which will binder the i >rogretss now beiiig made rather than accom- , >llsb the ends tbey are aiming at. Tbe Senators who favored tbe bill seemed I o lay much stress upon tbe fact t hat tbe ne- , [roes are taking more interest In education , ban the whites, and they are fearful thai tbe alter will be distaucM In the race, y el I hey I lo not take Into consideration the fact ibat ( iotiipuisory laws will only add to ibis dilemna, If II be true. They are also anxious lo ' lave the whites get. their share of the public I unds, and urge this as a reason why Ibe , vhile children should be compelled to attend be schools, forgetting the fact that hundreds 1 ind thousands of wblle children, whose pa- I enia are paying a large share of the taxes to \ upporl the public schools, are In attendance ipon private schools in tbe towns and cltlee. ' vhlleolher hundreds and thousands of white j iblldren are aiding ibelr parents In making a Ivlng for the famllv. Tbey also Insist that as be State legislates for tbe physical health of he cblldten it is right and proper to take are of their mental training, unmlndlng of j be fact that the Slate does not take charge of heir physical well-being except as it relates 1 o tbe well-being of others, when it compels f vaccination and the like. It does not provide ' hat doctors shall be employed when children i :et sick, nor that mediclue shall be glveD. low cau this apply lo their mental Improve- I nent? Surely the Senators cannot Imagine ( or a moment that mental training neces6aily improves tbe morals of any people. Let ' hem oompare the nfcgroes who are making { ucb wonderful progress In their estimation t vith t he negroes who were trained In slavery, .nd the moral status of the present genera- 1 ion will fall to show any adequate growth I vheo tbe vast expenditure for their improvenent Is weighed in tbe balance. It Is a mistake to suppose that white su>remacy lu this Stale is dependent upon tbe cbools, or the ability to read and write. The . Stale was not rddenned from alien bands by . bis means, nor will 11 go back Into the pos- 1 esslon of an inferior race on this account. 1 rhe treachery and avarlcB of white men who . ire willing to unite with negroes lor political ' ;aln cau ?loue bring aboul such a disaster. ' ind our leaders should be more concerned for I he political nealth of tbe State thau under- . akiug to rule the people )*lth a rod of iron when dealing wltb educational and Indus- 1 ,rial questions. There was lar more 1 literacy < imong the wblten In 1S76 than at the present , Itvv, and It Is not alarailnif, as Senator Barn- 1 veil has contended, that there ar>> 15.000 while I rolers scattered In our forty counties who | :annot read or write. This number will grow i ess every ytar.anda political division smong he whites will never Increase their Illiteracy. Pbe greatest danger will come, not from lack of icbool training, but from tbe corrupt and decradlne practices that will be Introduced to itruv th? ru'ero vote, and It will not be avoid 'd by Such methods as compulsory edudatlon \t any rate let the white people be consulted jefore the stale 1b committed to this policy.

KEVIEW AND FORECAST. * \ WhHt (be LeglMlntorM Have Done and Will Do. (August Ivohn in"Ne\vs and Courier.) Columbia, Feb. 16.?The Legislative session is fast drawing to a close. There will be six more working days unless all sigus fail. The per diem of the members ends wilh Saturday next, and with that, it is pretty safe to say, the session will close. It has been a harmonious and pleas- . aut session. There have been several J more or icss personal mis, uui iuey have been tiie result of the heat of d^- i bate, without real bitterness, and the sting passed away with.the final decis- ' ion of the issues involved. The session has not yet boen marked with any distinguishing event. There has been no epocb-markiug legislation J ?no dispensary law, no new county government scheme, no remrfrkable debates on the colleges and other in- ' stitutions. It has been a session more distinguished by hard aud persistent work than anything else. F a THE CHILD LABOR BILL. O The general public looked more to possible legislation on labor questions than anything else, but there has been _ no labor legislation and there will be uone. The Marshall Senate bill came nearer becoming a law than anything else. It failed by a c'ose vote, and nothing further has been said upon Ihe subject. The bill regulating the number of hours to be permitted for labor in industrial mills hae been on f. the House Calendar sleeping itself to A ieath. Mr. Webb has been patiently ?nd persistently working to net this bill up, but failed so far, and the meas- ^ lire will probably die. k It is now practically out of the question for a bill which has any considerable opposition to get through both ( orauches and be new to either the f House or Senate. Such measures as o he general supply bill and legislative ippropriation bills as have no oppo*i- r :ion will go straight to the Calendar, *ind the printer will, of course, glide jlee'fully through the Senate. For in itance, it did not take five minutes for J the legislative appropriation bill to go Vi ;hrough, and now the House has done he amending and patching of the jeneral supply bill, all that trouble is T >ver, and there seems to be no Idecided p| fHOspecfr of any material differences h >n the general appropriation hill. The St ,vay things now stand it ought to be ia9y ior tne uenerai Assemoiy 10 wora ^ ip to adjournment by Friday and take hiugs leisurely and p easantly until f0 nidnight Friday, so as to make out the n "u 11 fort} days' se sion. II THE CODE AND THE JURY LAW. What many regard as (he most important bills of the session were tbose 1 idoptiug the Code and substituting a I reneral jury law for the oue declared inconstitutional.' There have been juite 8 number of general bills, and ~~ he recent emphatic decisions of the Supreme Court have had excellent efect, and there has been an appreciable 'alliug off in the number of minor and ocal bills. The greatest number of pill-, perhaps, has been on bonding school districts, and it appears that a general bill ought to be passed to avoid( bhis great plethora of bills. TOWNSHIP RAILROAD BONDS. Perhaps the most radical legislation Lhat has yet bpeu passed'by the House n/AB I tip resolution look in? to a consti tutional amendment dissolving two townships in Greenville, one in Adlersou and one or two in Edgefield, rhe purpose of this and other bills on tbe fame .line is to avoid the payment jf certain bonds issued in aid of railroads that were never built. The ? trouble really ought to rest witl\ the ]j lommissioners who surrendered the aonds before the road was built; but naturally the taxpayers are sore and want to yet rid of the burden, as they j id not get the consideration they bargained for. J ANTI-TRUST MEASURES. . fi The only anti-trust legislation that n s likely or liable to pass at this session ^ in the jobnson general anti trust bill, <3, md the bill a9 to procuring evidence, rhe measures specifically aimed at the a Virginia-Carolina Chemical Company p ailed by decisive votes in both branch- * ?b, and Mr. DeBruhl's bill as to domes- ? Icating foreign corporations in geuertl also went by the board. The Johu ion anti trust bill, which is general ? knd sweeping iu ite terms, is now be- I 'ore the Senate. JL THE GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT. There is a marked sympathy for the novenient towards better roads. Nothng very much except as to convicts las been done, but by looking into the general supply bill it will be seeu that various counties are to have special evies for road work and that others ire forcing the work witb their convicts and are using a considerable part >f their dispensary funds for road improvements. The good roads issue is growing in importance and persistence every day, and the result is manifest. ?? Redeeming the time. This exhortation refers to what we commonly call the nick of time. Paul, who was a minute man iu duty, exhorts his fellow Christians to seize their opportunities to serve their Master. Keep your eye on the Master and be ever asking, "Lord, what wilt Thou have me to do ?" Sir Joshua Reynolds, the celebrated painter, used to say, "I only look at the best pictures; a bad one ouly spoils my eye." The more you look at Jesus, the more will you | look like Jesus. Mirth is like a flash of lightning that breaks through a gloom of clouds and glitters for a moment. Cheerfulness keeps up a kind of daylight in the mind and fills it with a steady and perpetual serenity. Think as little as possible about any good in yourself; turn your eyes resolutely from any view of your p'aus, your success, your following?above all, speak as little as possible about yourself. The one who is deeply interested in , the useandaDoroDriation of the golden moments that tliey may redound to their present and eternal welfare, is inspired by the highest wisdom known. Time is valuable ; it is precious. j. l: hill & co.
