FrOm the car-shed in Atlanta, (he sev eral hundred OXCUI'siotlists who took ad vantage of the cheap rates last week, went their respectivo ways. .Malters ol business carried sonic lo thc city, others went for pleasure, Thursday evening's iimusomont nt tho (.rand Opera House was a benefit enter tainment. The local talent of Atlanta was generously used that money for paying the expenses of thc maimed vet erans to Louisville might bc raised. This \.ns thc second recent charitable entertainment given o' the (?mild; an other follows. Ono objection lo excursions is the limited time allowed tor a visit. How to spend one short day is not always easily Bottled. True. Whitehall otters many allurements; but allow ing a casual glance in the show windows at Ibo Charming turbans of old rose and cern shades and the tilmy fabrics artistically arranged, to sutlice, the young pedagogi cal aspirant linds nothing more prolltil* ldc than a visit to the publia schools. Certainly it is less expensive than shop ping. Williams Street School being most con voniont, was decided upon as the one to visit. I was fortunate in being shown through Ivy .street school severa! veals ago, before having taught. Miss beer man, thc principal, is sweet faced and affable Miss King, assistant principal, seems thoroughly alive to her duties. Tho teachers were nil most cord i lil, Whorovor the professional spirit exists, it is not dillloull lo become acquainted. Tho grades visited w ere t he lirst, sec ond and third, almost the entire morn ing hoing spout with these. The rca son for visiting only part ol' tho grades was tho probably greater beiiolll accru ing from ti longer stay, Misses Ponte, Waters and Payne arc the respective teachers of tho lirst. second ai '. third grades. There are in tho Williams street school tin' dearest, brightest children (Uko soniu of the children we have in ( Iconco). first came tho visit to the second grade, on Miss Waters' invitation, she said, "You must sec my room before the lirst grade, or it will liol seem so Y ute." As it was, it ccrtaitih lacked nothing ol being "cute." The children did excel lent work. Some of them were quite quick in arithmetic; some had beautiful copybooks, writing thc vertical hand with case and correctness; some had very neat drawing hooks. The singing in tho different grades is remarkably good. "Order is heaven's lirst law," says Pope. Order evidently is thc inst law ol the Atlanta public school.-. To sec tin pupils march out for recess is indeed ht toros ting, lu one erado there are sixty pupils, six sections, so. in marching front tho building, a lirst ami a second grade pupil go together, a third and a fourth, and so on. \ teacher ploys a march on a piano. The school children tire paying for thc pianos used in thc schools. Thc teachers are collecting specimens of drawings and compositions lo bc ex hibited at their normal class this week. Two of Die grades were looking for ward to a picnic at (?rant Park last sat unlay. Visitors are always welcome, and. a no changes aro made in the usual prt gramme, much ph asure and gain on joyed.

When we have dono our duty, no matter how unpleasant Mio tusk may have seemed at first, wo fool that our conscience is clear, and, therefore, wo arc satislled and pleased about it. Sonic pooplo make the mistake of sad dling themselves with a great many things that are not really thoir duty at all. Wo have no right to neglect the small, boundy duties of 0 very ?day lifo that lie at our feet hy reaching out after sonic great imaginary duty that is hoyond our strength and talent. Wo should seek a knowledge of our true duties and then perform thom faithfully. Duly is three-fold. In tho lust place, wc owo a duty to ourselves; in tho sec ond placo, WO owe a duty to each other; and in tho third place wo owe a duly to our Heavenly Father. Tho duty wo owo to ourselves is to make ourselves true, honest and upright SO that wc may deserve thu love and re spect of others. Kaoh ono of these little girls and boys can ho truthful, can ho obedient to their parents and attentive to their teachers and thus make them selves good and true. Thc duty wo owo to others lies in tho golden rulo, "Whatsoever ye would that men should do unto, you, do yo even so unto them.'' If we always observe Hint rule wo will never fail in our duty to others. Wc will never fail to ho kind to each other ol' judge each other harshly or unjustly.

And lastly, but not least, wo come to our duty in attending tho Sunday school. lt is the duty of the little ones to ho here with bright, smiling faces, with well learned lessons and good behavior. True politeness, little girls and boys, is nothing more (han kindness (d' heart. What is a prettier sight than tho bright, smiling faces of these little girls and hoys as thoy gather hero from Sabbath to Sabbath to learn the truths of thc blessed Word of Uod? They aro like lovely Howers in a beautiful garden, ami the older ones should nourish their hun gering minds with thc true bread of life, thus tilling each little mind with some thing worth learning, ll. is tho duty of tho children to come to thc .Sabbath school to learn of Jesus and to become like 11 im-kind, obedient ami true, lt is the duly of tho parents to conic with thc children that they may learn the truth of thc promise, "Seek mo early ami ye shall timi me. lt is thc duty of thc teacher to over carry these young people on our hearts, to willingly, earn estly and prayerfully seek to instruct thom in a knowledge of Hod's Word, that they may grow wise uni o sal vat ion.
