THE END. The course of the weariest river Ends in the great gray sea; The acorn, forever and ever, Strives upward to the tree. The rainbow, the sky adorning, Shines promise through the storm; The glimmer of coming morning Through midnight gloom will form. By time all knots are riven, Complex although they be, . And peace will at last be given, Dear, both to you and to me. Then though the path may be dreary, Look onward to the goal; Though the heart and the head be weary, Let faith inspire the soul. Seek the right though the-wrong be tempting; Speak the truth at any cos t; Vain is all weak exempting . When once the gem is lost.' His strong hand and keen eye be ready, For plain and ambushed foes; Thought earnest, and fancy steady Bear best unto the close. The heavy clouds may he raining. But with evening comes the light; Through the dark arelow winds complaining Yet the sunrise gilds the height; And love has his hidden treasure For the patient and the pure; And time gives his fullest measure 'To'the workers who endure; 1 And the Word that no law has shakon - Has the future pledge supplied; For we know that when we "awaken" We shall be "satisfied." A ST?RT OF THE WAR. A singular story, as one of the thou? sand strange events of the war, comes from a rural town in East Tennessee. It seems that in the early part of the war, a man in the town alluded to, having in his possession eight hundred dollars in specie, and fearing the consequences of keeping it by him, or at least making this the pretext for his conduct, ap? proached an honest, well meaning wo? man in. the town, tue wife of a small shop-keeper, and desired her to take the money and keep it for him. His reasons for mating the request were that iu war times it was not prudent for a man who might reasonably be suspected of owning specie to keep so large an amount in his possession, while she, in whose honesty he bad every confidence, could take it, secrete it in a careful place and never be suspected by any one of having it. It was also imposed by him that she should never, by any possibility, let any one? even her own husband?into the secret. After some hesitation the woman con seuted to take the money, and entered faithfully upon the discharge of her un? dertaking. The treasure was carefully concealed, and tho secret so sacredly guarded on her part, that not even her husband was aware of the responsibility Bhe had assumed. A few months rolled by, the woman S'ving herself ho further concern about o money than occasionally to satisfy herself that it was safe in the place of concealment, until one day a man?a neighbor?presented himself to the hon? est woman and told her that he was an officer of the Confederate Government fully authorized and empowered to claim and seize, in behalf of the Government, all the specie in the land.' To make his pretensions more plausible, he represent? ed that the Government was in pressing j need of gno>boats, and that ?very dollar , in the Confederacy mnst.be .surrendered. !, The quasi officer hinted to the woman that from the known frugality of herself and husband?they alone-constituting the family, and besides living, within the ., bounds of rigorous economy, hoarding | j every penny, as is the: wont of all. shop? keepers of their class, -the husband being a thrifty German?it was strongly sus? pected that they had a large sum of specie laid -away. The "good woman trembled violently at the prospect of thus having to Surrender the scanty savings of many years of deprivation, toil and anxiey, not to say the trial of calamitous misfortune which, at one time had be? fallen them before settling in.the town, and while wringing her bands in despair her mind was happily relieved by the pretended "officer himself. The secret "'which she had so sacredly guarded, and the importance of which was so seriously impressed upon her by the only man interested in the preserva? tion, of his own money, was known by this dread officer of the Government. He quietly told her that he knew she had in her possession this money. As an officer of the Government it was his duty to demand it, and if she would quietly hand it over without delay, he would give her no molestation as to any coin she and her hTralbnd-owned in their own right. He admitteoTthat they had met with misfortune, were now advancing in years,, and he felt that he might in their pecu? liar case forego the imperative duties of his office; but the money she held in trust?the gold belonging to a man of wealth, whose duty it was to aid with every means in his power the Govern? ment to which he owed allegiance?this was altogether a different matter. He did not wish to use force. He hoped not to have to resort to the disagreeable necessity of calling upon the military arm to send a file of soldiers to search hejr premises, who might find more than ' the object sought; while such proceed? ing would also divulge for the first time to her husband the fact that she had the money in her possession. The tortured woman now began to realize the nature of her position. While ordinarily she made no concealments from her husband, and the couple lived harmoniously and amicably together, both laboring in their respective .spheres to secure a compe? tency of this world's goods, yet she had pledged her word to a man to whom she was under no special obligation, to keep the secret even from her * husband. She had successfully done so up to this time; and the pretended Government agent subtly advised that there was no neces? sity to mention the matter to her hus? band then. All trouble could be re? moved simply by her quiet obedience to the behest of the Government. He therefore advised a ready compliance, suggesting that her husband be kept in ignorance of the matter. The poor woman, unused to the ways of the world, and whose fear of losing the scanty savings of a life time bad been wrought to the highest tension by the interview, in the faint gleam of hope to save her own carefully-hoarded treas? ure, lost sight of what might be the next false step of guarding from her husband a secret involving a business transaction, to her at least, of such import, and which might seriously embarrass them both the remainder of their lives. With trembling hand, and, it must be admitted, many misgivings as to her duty, not only in the matter of yet break? ing the secret to her husband, but also her obligation to the man whose trustee she innocently became, and glad to re? lieve herself of an unwelcome visitor, she produced the bags of glittering coin ?glittering in a double sense, reflecting not only their precious value iu those days of scarcity and want, but, like the eyes of the deadly basiltsk, gleaming danger and destruction. Many minutes elapsed after the depart? ure of the "impressing master" before the woman could collect her wits, nor was it until near night-fall that she began to realize that she had acted im? properly, not from bad motives, except, perhaps, a secret hope that in surrender? ing this money her own would be safe from impressment; but it dawned upon her, when too late, that her proper course would have been to refer the officer or agent to the owner of the money. But iu her surroundings, the tact so readily at command of her sex, had deserted her. Her self-control, woman's strong armor in the face of danger, failed to serve her, so completely was she overcome by the presence of a supposed government offi? cial, the nature of whose mission implied a hundred horrors suggested by the strong arm of the power that knew no law and respected no private rights. Her evening duties, if not performed with the cleverness for which she was noted as a skillful, tidy house-keeper, were discharged in such a manner as to excite no comment from her husband. The frugal ratjal was prepared and eaten with, only the-conversation usually in? dulged by them at table. The dishes were cleaned, the "tallow-dip," the only substitute for a lamp, was lighted, and after the customary family devotions, which were never omitted, the couple re tired. But with what different feelings did each seek the couch of repose? The husband?an invalid, but through many years of suffering, patient and uncom Elaining, conscious of never having done is fellow-man a wrong, seeking the quiet repose of the righteous; the wo? man?guileless as a child, who would instinctively shrink from the least wrong? ful deed, her mind racked with the fear that she bad committed an act not wrongful in itself, but which might bring upon her untold misery, if not poverty, to herself and husband. Fear and hope alternating in her breast, she passed a sleepless, restless night, and arose the next morning with haggard face and troubled expression, which her husband, had his duties kept him in the bouse that morning, would have easily detected. But fortunately, be made no discovery, and after the rou? tine of the morning's work had been performed by the tireless woman, she made a pretext for calling upon a neigh? bor, and with beating heart hastily re? paired to the man who had entrusted her with the money. With language eloquent in its sim? plicity, she recited the whole story. She told how implicitly, in the effort to reader him a service, she had kept the secret from every human being, not ex? cepting her husband; the anxiety the trust had imposed upon her for so long a time; with tears streaming down her cheeks, which had previously known no furrows, she related all that occurred be? tween her and the pretended official; how she . hesitated, and how at last, as she supposed in obedience to the require? ments of Taer ;cb?nt_ry, she reluctantly gave up the;;.inon ey,J$U: she had acted wrongfully sbej.ple^eoV ignorance; and fear, induced by the novelty of the situ? ation. She saw, when too .late," what would have been the proper^eburee for her to pursue, "bu^" she cenel?ded,.' "as the agent would halve taken it from you any way, I hope my. offense is not so great at last. My'conscience is clear that / did" not divulge* the secret of having the money in my possession, aud it through fear and trembling, and under compulsion, I surrendered it-to the Gov? ernment, as was demanded, I trust you mil show the pity;2 crave." But the man of money was not of a forgiving nature. ' With stern counte? nance he heard her simple story, and replied that she should have known bet? ter ; that there was no such officer em? powered to impress money from citizens, und that in strict justice to himself he must require her to refund every cent Df it. ? Fortunately, the woman was prepared for .the worst; and fortunately, through a life of toil and care, she had learned "to suffer and grow strong." But to re? place this sum of eight hundred dollars in coin, at that time, would havq been difficult, even with men of financial re? sources; to her it seemed an impossl"-' bility. To break the secret to her hus? band at this stage, she feared, would en? tail the bitterest consequences. Though i kind husband, he was of irascible temper, and this last stroke of misfor? tune, added to reverses which he bad patiently borne, might, in the evening Df her life, bring untold vials of his tvrath upon her head; or what she most Feared?true and devoted wife as she was ?it might hasten the climax of an aggravating disease and cause the death Dt him whom she had promised "to nurse through sickness," cherish, love and obey, until death diid them part. In this diiemma her only source of relief came. The man whom si:.^..at? tempted to serve?the man who imposed the task upon her?he who seemed in? strumental in filling her cup of sorrow to the brim?made a proposition, the only "feasible plan," as he said, that presented itself, and one which, to any but a guileless, confiding woman would have seemed to have been "cut and dried" for the occasion. It was proposed that if she did not have the mojey to replace the forfeited sum immediately, she should become bis debtor to that amount, and pay it in installments as she could. But the currency of that period could not be received. Only specie would suffice. And it was stipu? lated that as her husband had been thus far kept in ignorance of the transaction, as a matter of policy it would now be best to admit no one into the secret. Only too glad to know the worst, the woman took tae only alternative. She returned to her home, and as best she could, set about the new burden imposed upon her. Though our story covers a period of many years, but little more re? mains to be told. Schooled in adversity from a child, self-imposed lessons of the most rigid economy did not go so bard with her. A little saved here, and a little there, the deprivation of articles of dress, and the many little economies which one can practice when a motive prompts, enabled her year by year to re? duce the debt, the last cent of which was discharged fourteen years after the un? fortunate transaction with the bogus Government agent, and only a few days before the death of her husband, to whom she ever proved a faithful and de? voted wife. He never knew the secret of his wife's burden. While it is pleasant , to know that he left his widow a compe? tency, it would be a satisfaction also to know whether or not the man to whom she refunded the amount derived any benefit therefrom, and also whether or not the pretended "Government agent" ever received a portion as his share. "Everything but Honor." ?A worthy Southerner was speaking of the distress through which his State had Eassed: "We lost everything in the world ut honor," he said. "Why, sir, there was Col. Carter, of Cartersville, as high toned a gentleman as you ever saw.? He'd lost everything in the world but his honor. Now, old Grant seut a Yankee Postmaster to Cartersville, and one day the Colonel wanted to send a letter to his factor iu New Orleans, and, as be had lost everything but honor, he asked the Yankee to trust him for a three cent stamp and the fellow wouldn't do it, and of course the Colonel drew his pistol and shot him dead. And do you know, sir, it took all the exertions of Judge Bowie and some of our most influential citizens to prevent that thing from coming to a lawsuit ?" This is not unlike the narrative of the two Kentuckians at a Chicago hotel. One of them was fiercely disputing the correctness of the bill which the clerk j had just presented to him, when the other took bim by the arm and said: "Colonel, never forget that you are a Kentuckian; kill the clerk, but pay the bill."?N. Y. Hour. Would Return His Doctor's Vis? its.?From an Ellenton, S. C, subscriber we learn that the following occurrence took place: A country doctor across the river presented his account to a patient who had been quite ill, but was now well. The ex-patient listened attentively to the account being read by the medical man as follows: For medicines, so much ? for visits, so much. Finally, with an air of generosity and candor, he says: "Well, Doctor, I have no money now, but will pay you for the medicine next fall. The visits I will try and return."?Augusta News. ?

You are considering the question whether you shall take him out of school and put him to business. In the shop he cau earn his living at once. In school he costs you from $300 to $800 a year. Even if he goes to a public school his board at home costs something and he earns nothing. And what is the use of his learning Latin, Greek and Algebra for the prac? tical affairs of life? Will his mum, mu tea, musea, and his x, y and z ever enable him to sell more calicoes or at more cents a yard, or to get more bushels of wheat out of an acre of ground, or even to con? vince a jury of practical Americans that his client is entitled to $1,000 damages from the railroad company that smashed his trunk or by its delay compelled him to miss an important appointment ? He can read, write and speak the English language correctly; why not apprentice him to his trade and let him begin? Shall I keep him in school or put him to business? That is a Question a great many fathers are considering this sum? mer?and every summer. Keep him in school. He that apprentices his boy chooses his career for him ; and no man knows enough about either his boy's nature- or his future to make,such a choice wisely. Some men have to make ft;: that is their misfortune; it ought not to be your choice. If he is put into a store it is very unlikely he will ever become a law? yer; if iutoa lawyer's office it is hardly probable that he will emerge a civil en? gineer. By putting him into business you decide what business he shall go in to. But you can no more tell what your boy at fourteen ought to be at forty than you can tell what an unlabeled paper of seeds will become if planted. He is a mere bundle of possibilities. What life has for him you cannot foresee. Who could have guessed tha;; the canal boy of forty odd yeqrs.ago need .to be educated to, he Senaicfo iud perhaps-' President/of 'the Urfiled-Stal^Tr p^a' wqUl3> wave f?r?j told that the y??iig Irish Yeacller halF a century ago was Iq be the greatest retail and wholesale merchant in the world? Who can tell what Providence has in store for yourboy? What , hp needs for his highest measure of success is such an education that hp may be able to do with his might whatever his hand finds to do; and therefore he needs to have every might in him well developed. Educa | tion does not merely fit men for their I station; it shows them what station they ! are. fitted for. It designates men. by de i veloping them. Education of a -man is ; like cultivation of the soil; it shows what possibilities there are in him. I A purely business education is always a narrow education. It develops a par I ticular power and leaves the others un? developed. It tends to make lopsided men; men of narrow horizons; men of limited abilities; that is, of abilities lim? ited to a sphere of action. The boy who goes into a store at . fourteen to stay till he is twenty-one may graduate a capital salesman, but he will learn nothing else in his school but how to sell goods; and life may have Some ptber service for him, possibly even a higher service. The boy who graduates at college at twenty-one will not know how to do any one thing as well as his mercantile companion, but I he will be- abie to learn bow to do any ! one of a hundred things. In a commu? nity where caste ..determines position, where the sou of a merchant is pre? ordained to be a merchant and the son of a shop-keeper to be a shop-keeper, ap? prenticing is very well. But in a coun? try where society is not only fluid but boiling, where the bottom is all the time going up to the top and the top is all the time going down to the bottom, every father should be ambitious to give his sou an education that will enable him to take any place and hold and fill it. Business education makes "rut" men; a liberal education makes broad men. A business education equips a man well for a single chance; if he misses that he has no re? serve. A liberal education equips a man for a hundred chances; if he fails to get one door open he has in his hand the keys of ninety-nine more. It is the broad man who prospers in "bard times." The man who has but one spring on his place may go thirsty in I a drought; not so the man who has a [score. When times are dull, it is the book-keeper who keeps a ledger account beautifully and knows not how to do I anything else who gets left out iu the cold, because there are no more ledgers to be kept. The versatile man, who has an adaptability to do whatever work comes to bis hand, always finds some work to do. When a college graduate is found starving the story goes the circle ! of the newspapers from Boston to San Fraucisco; out when clerks and book? keepers go hungry no one thinks it strange. It is an appalling problem to contemplate: what will the thousand and odd graduates of our colleges this year find to do? But, somehow, they all do fine something. Our colleges do not furnish the country with its beggars, its paupers or its tramps. A well educated man is a man of many resources, aud he is therefore ready for many exigencies. There is safety in breadth. It is the broad man, also, who gener? ally findB "room at the top." Education does not impart genius; genius some? times'serves iu lieu of education ; but, as a rule, it-is the well educated men who are top men. The man who is really ma ter of any craft. The mechanic who knows bow to drive a nail but not how-to solder a joint may be a good carpenter, but he will never be an architect or a builder. All professions require for the best and highest success nn encyclopaedic knowledge. It is conceded that minis? ters, lawyers and doctors should have a liberal education: but why not.as well merchants, mechanics and farmers ? The successful merchant is not a mere, peddler with an empirical skill at driv? ing a bargain; he is a master among men; and he must know the laws of trade?that is, political economy; tho earth and its products^?that is, physical geography; the management of men? that is, practically, mental and moral philosophy?and must be a skilled liter ateur, for to write a good business letter requires as much facility with the pen as to write a good editorial. The successful mechanic ought to know the science of forces?physics, chemistry, natural phi? losophy?or he will be building a Gil more's Garden wall to tumble down on the heads of tho dancers, to his amaze? ment and other people's indignation. We hope the day is not far distant when our colleges will send some of their men into the building business, and we can have plumbing and carpentering bossed by brains. The farmer ought to be a chemist, knowing the constituents of both soils and plants; and a physiologist, knowing the organism of animals and the laws of their health and the nature of their diseases; and a merchant, knowing the needs of a changing market and how to manufacture for it. For the highest success every vocation requires every knowledge; .no true learning comes amiss. The man who knows how to do only a single thing can never be master of any art; for he can never direct many men how to do many things. Nor should it be forgotten that the true object of education is not learning but ability. The well educated nan has learned something more than Latin, Greek and Algebra; has learned how to learn, which is far more important. The suprcmest ability iu life is the ability to acquire new knowledge readily and to uso it promptly, and lie who has spent ten years in learning must be an extra? ordinary fool if he has not in that time learned how to learn. This is none the less true because there are'some extraor? dinary fools. We discuss this question of school or business on a purely bread aud butter basis. We ignore tho consideration?a vastly higher consideration?that life is more than business, and to be a man is more than to bo a merchant or a me? chanic. In its purely economic aspects the higher and broader education "pays." There must always be hewere of wood and drawers of water. But the supply will probably always equal the demand. The merchant is more than a salesman, the mechanic is more than a carpenter, a mason or a plumber, the agriculturist is more than a digger in the dirt; if you want your boy to oe that something more, strain every nerve and every resource, if need be, to keep him at school as long as he is learning there, and to give him as high and broad an education as the abil? ities which he has inherited from you enable him to appropriate and utilize.?
