If you are moral, upright, jonscieutious and zealous, tkej will be }:pt lb' plit ttie proper estimate upon yo'j, and vice versa. Children are logical, Aid will draw a correct" conclu? sion froai a given premise. They are also pesstrating, and will soon see through any - thin disguise you may throw around yourself. Bo don't pretend to be what you are not!, ?cd don't pre? tend to friow what you do not know. We suggest'to the teEVhdrs the pro priety of uaving some sort of an exercise each day under the. he*i of "General Information." The teacher must, in some way, add to the stock of knowledge that is possessed by the pubil. He must impart something :o the pupil besides what is container' in ? the text? books, soiaething of the evejry day busy world thai is around him, ftcts in Geog? raphy, History, Biography, Mineralogy, Commerce, Manufactures, &c. Get a box arid libel it "General Information/' and place it in some couv-mient spo't in the room .tnd encourage your pupils to make clippings froth newspapers, or write extrictB from books they read, and let the teacher engage m this, too, and then say t very Friday ha?? an exercise in which the box is to ba opened and everything in there read ard commented on by the achGol and questions asked. I Try thff plan this winl.tr and report results. In conversation with a gentleman recently on school matters ilhe proba? bility wa-3 mentioned to him that his i teacher nvght be taken a way from him j by an offer of a better salary. "Well," said he, "let him go, be wsats too much money anyhow. At Ural he wa?ted a certain price, and next yea; a little more, and now he wants a still .igber salary, and t say let him go.y' ftow, this was said by a man who says he is interested in the education of his children, who lives in a community where, for some time, they have not had a flourishing school as they now have. This teacher came among them thoroughly competent, piouB and full of zeal, arid has built up a fine school and why throw all this away because, f ursooth, the teacher wants a good living out of his work. This same teacher wi;h his fine abilities, if he were a practitioner at the bar,, could make twelve or fifteen hundred collars annu? ally, and yst because be is u teacher he is thought not to bo worth wore than the half of these amounts. If he were a physician he could do r<>; well. This same grumbler will fee a lawyer fifty to seventy-riVj dollars in a case in Court, or pay a physician's bill oi fifty dollars, and yet when it comes to a tuition bill of fifty dollars for all his children for the whole term, whew 1 it is monstrous, he can't stand such prices. Why is this thus? Who can estimate the value in dollars and cents of a thoroughly pious, competent, zealous teacher, in his reflex influence upon the children and the homes of a community ? E?ery boy and girl who comes within the if here of such a man's influence will recsive a great uplift, a gr.ind impetus fortrard to a bet? ter life, and will go ouf into" the world better mei: 'and women, better citizens and better neighbors. No, my friend, you can't afford to let such a man go, you can't afford to do without him, for his worth to you and your neighborhood can't be o<\?r estimated, and if ho spends a lifetime teaching in yorv community he'will die poor, but he will leave behind him a rich legacy in a community of upright, intelligent, moral, virtuous peo? ple.

K'r-nedy, Moses Waddell, Wesley Leverel;t and Robert Breckinridj;e among the derd have done, and what Ligoc and Patrick and McEl roy and W.'itkins and Kemp and a host of others a*nong the living ".re doing for their communities, is what . Mis kind of a teacher w:!l do for yours. Think well over it aid count the coj-L before you decide to I1 bim go, and afVjr you have "thought woll over it, decir'c not to let him go, iven though you have to go down a Utile deeper into yvar pocket to keep him. It will-be a paying invest? ment and bring handsome n iurns to you and yours uot only now, bus in the great future that lies jest beyond. SESOLUTIOHS OF WRIT.

Do you know that 210 of them arc from Georgia ? Do you know that for tr eaty six years the i/ood ladied of that city have cared for their graves and kept them fresh and green, and as one by one these faithful, heroic wom?n pass awny their sweet daughters take their place and say with the poet? "With fairest iWcra while .summer lasts I'll sweeten thy sad graves." Df you know that old Father Time ia fight:Dg memory, and tbr-.t tbe'w'ooden headboards i.hat marked Iho name and comjitfny nnd regiment are rapidly decay? ing eud that 30on, very aoo'n, one grave will uot be known from the other? Do you know that these grnves cover the bone' of patriots, who had but little to fight for pave love of couniry, and whose fami'ies and kindred were too poor to remove them tc their own iantfly burying ground, and they were constrained to leave them alar from home and tears and flowers? Dc you know that it.will take money?a lit lie money? *o rescue these graves from oblivion and replace their headloards a.id re mark thjm, so that the child may find the father who paid for victory with his life? Well, now 'et ?fl fesp'otf? to this appeal from these good ladies, .ind send them the money they ask for. '-'Mothers, wid? ows, orphans, sisters and comrades, please help us in our sacred werk," they say. One dollar for each grave will do it. I will take care of one; won't you ? Mrs. Arp cays she will take cart of one for the sake of a dc<ld brother who fell on the field. Please Bend me the money and I will forward it to Mrs. Baraey, the secre? tary uf the Li.die.?' Memorial Association and it will nor be wasted or misapplied. Mayb3 enough will come to mark them with a marble stone that will not decay. Who knows? Privates these soldiers were, nearly ull of them privates, but a life is t, life, and the graves of patriots are all alike?all of a size, and every soldier who fell was somebody's darling. I was thiukiag how nice it would be and how appropriate if every member of our legislature would give a dollar. They will, I know, when they see the appeal, for ou> neglect about such things is not indifference. Dr. Felton will, and so will Major Foute, who represents our county, and f-n will Colonel Harris, our Senator, and I believe that the hearts of the others are just as tender and true and patriotic. Thoy may fuss und fret and quarrel over the Olive bill hnd the lease. Some of them may get fighting mad about trifles and run off to Alabama and get lost in the woods, but they are all patri? ots and honor the memory of those who died for the country. In fact, it would seem reasonable that fighting men should give a double portion just t :j. show their exalted respect for personal honor and personal courage. Wars arf. scarce now, and it is right hard on a fighting man that he has no chance to die for bis country, aud so the best he can do is to seek a chance to die for himself. Sir Jack Fallstaff complained that some of his soldiers were affected with ":the can? ker of a calm word and a long peace," and L?igh Huut says, "Exceeding peace hath made Em Adhem bold." But I know Borne men in the legislature who have foute enough, and so I think that Major IToute with his empty sleeve woirrd be 'a good man to ieceive the money. He ha: one good arm left and an honest hand, and it will do him gcd to have the graves of his comrades fir. cd up. Ten dollan? were ^ent by the Georgia home and this is a:l that has been sent from GeorgK. Mississippi ia moving right along and our great leaner, Jefferson Davis, headed .the list with thirty dollars. The other States a--e responding and Georgia must not delr y. Our own Tom Cobb fell in the battle, and if he was alive to day this letter would not have' been written. He would have given the whole amount himself. Don't you know that he would ? Mrs. Barc-:y will send a list of our Gnorgia dead with the name and tho compaay and the regiment, and I will have it published so the kindred aud friends car. see it, and taey can keep tho paper as a record, a witness, and hand it dow-t to children and grandchildren, Friends, please send me a dollar, or more if you can spare it. Send a dollar to a dead soldier, to. preserve I is name*and his grsive. Hi) will pay yoi.. back. Just lend it until yc>u meet him on the other shore i nd may oe he will have something over there that you will neod. Look at ?he graveyards of those who fought against us. See them at Marietta and Chattanooga and Andersonville, and all around us on southern soil. They look like an Eden cr a paradise ;.nd southern money helps to beautify \n? adorn them, and southern money flows every year into the pockets of .heir widows nnd orphans. Why, the ra:trble gate to the national cemetery at Marietta coat twelve hun? dred dollars. Just think of it. Now let Georgia take a reasonable care of her own dead and let all the Southern States do liktvise.

A kind Providence hsB prospered that people and old Cassville has revived and now has schools and churches and happy Jiomes once more. Several hundred soldiers are buried there and as often as the spring brings flowers there are enough loving hands to strew them, on the graves and enough loving hearla to have memorial exercises. This is the way to beep_ patriotism alive, and burnling. Friends 1 patriots 1 countrymen I Send me a dollar. I want an office. I want to hRudle that money as a middle man.

There are too many colored people in the Southern States, and their number is multiplying every year. It is estima? ted that the*next census will show that there are ten million negroes in the United States, and that fully eight mil? lion of this number live . in the South. The census of 1900 will doubtless show a still further increase, and within twenty years it is probable there will be at least twenty million negroes in this country, more than three fourths of whom, unless some plan shall be adopted for the distri? bution or deportation of the race, will be living in the South. The question for present consideration is, what shall we do with the negro ? If he remains here he will ruin himself and the South. The civilization of his section of the country is in peril: the future prosperity pf the negro himself is involved in the issue. Intelligent and thoughtful colored men, who have given the subject the. slightest study, are impressed with the momentous consequences of the situation. White supremacy must be maintained in the South, 'and it will bo maintained by- fair means or by unfair means. Congress cannot settle the question by the enactment of unconstitutional laws; a standing army in the South could not drive the white people of this section into submission to negro dominatiou. The Southern whites' and the Southern blacks know full well that the white man will never surrender his right to rule, and the sooner this fact is recognized by the lawmakers the sooner shall we have peace and harmoncy between the races. During the last few months quite a number of Southern journals have been discussing the subject in its practical bearings upon the political life and roatertal development of the South. These journals have not accepted the views of Cape Cod philanthropists, or suffered local interests to blind their eyes to the situation as it is in the South. The only hope for the South is in the dispersion or distribution of the excess of our colored population. The exodus of emancipation of half the colored people in the South would be best for them and best for us. They should not be sent out to hunt for homes, but some proper provision should be made by the Govern? ment for their settlement upon Govern? ment lands and under conditions which would insure to their benefit. The Gov? ernment owns vast tracts of fertile lands which should be set apart for colored emigrants from the South. The Greenville Nexus has calculated the coot of the migration of one million col? ored families, representing five millions of population. It would have the Gov? ernment grant to each of these colored families forty acres of land, and to furnish to each emigrant family a mule. The land would cost the Government nothing, the mules would cost $30,000, 000. The cost of transporting five mil? lions of emigrants would be $25,000,000, and the appropriation of $100 apiece for each family, for the purchase of farm and other equipments and provisions, would be $100,000,000. The total cost to the Government for carrying out this plan would be in round numbers $155, 000,000. The News says: "Vfe could spare the land from surplus territory now available, and hardly miss it. There is nearly enough surplus now in the treasury to supply the funds for fit? ting the nation's wards up handsomely in their proposed new homes." It would pay the Government to attempt to solve the race question in this way. ft would relieve the South from a constant source of trouble, and it would give the negro a new start in life under the most promising conditions. Thought? ful colored men are not unmindful of the difficulties of the situation in the South. In an address before the colored Baptist Convention at Indianapolis, on Wednes? day last, the Rev L. T. Huffman, of Tennessee, said: "I am sick of the South, and I wish there was an opening somewhere for our people to find refuge out of it." There are colored ministers in South Carolina who admit that it would be best for the State if there could be a thinning out of our colored popula? tion. There are hundreds of white men everywhere throughout the# South who are impressed with the necessity of removing the excess of negroes. Sooner or later they will have to go or the white people will have.to go. Which Bhall it be??News and Courier.

"Well, Pve found oiit one thing," said Jack, as he crtme to hie mother, hot, tired and dusty. "What is that?" ehe asked". "That there are a great many boys in the world." "Didn't you know that before?"' "Partly, but I didn't know there were so.many more than are wanted." "What makes you think so ? "Because Pve been 'round and 'round till Pm worn out, trying to find a place to work. Wherever I go there are more boyB than places. Doesn't that show that there are too many boys ?" "Not esactly," said his mother, with a smile, "tt depends entirely npon the kind of boy. A good boy ia always want? ed somewhere." "Well, if Pm a good boy, I wish I knew where I'm wanted." "Patience; pslience, my boy. In. such a great world as this, with go many places and so many boys, it is no ttpnder that some of them do not find their places at once. But be very sure my dear," as she laid her caressing hand on his arm, "that every boy who wantB a chance to do fair, honest work will find it." "That's the kind of work I want to do," said Jack, "I don't wan't anybody's money for nothing, Let me see? what have I got to offer ? All the schooling and all the wits Pve been able to get up to thirteen y?ars, good, stout hands and feet and a civil tongue." "And a mind and heart set on doing faithful duty," suggested his mother. "I hope so," replied Jack. "I remem? ber father used to say, 'Just as Boon as you undertake to work for any one you must bear in mind that you have sold yourself to him for a given time.' Your time, your strength, your energy are his, and your best efforts to seek his interests in every way are his due.'" The earnest tone in which the boy spoke seemed to give assurance that he would pay good heed to the words of his father, whose counsels could no more reach him, For two of thfee days longer Jack had reason o hold to his opinion that there were more boys than the world wanted, at the end of which time he met with a business man, who, after questioning him closely, said: "There are a great many applications for the place, but the greater number of the boys come and stay for a short time, and then leave if they think they can do little better. When a boy gets used to our routes and our customers we want him to stay. If you will agree to remain for at least three years we will pay you three dollars a week as errand boy." "That is just what I want to do, sir," said Jack, eagerly. So he was installed, and proud enough he was at bringing his wages home every Saturday night, and realizing that, small as fbey were, the regular help was of great value to his mother. It is not to be wondered at that the faithful carrying out of his father's ad? monition after awhile attracted the at? tention not only of his employers, but of others with whom he was brought in contact in the pursuit of his duties. One day he was asked into the office of Mr. Lang, a gentleman to whom he frequently carried parcels of value. "Have you ever thought of changing your situation ?" asked Mr. Lang. "No, sir," said Jack. "Perhaps you could do better," said the other. "I want to get a boy who is quick and intelligent and who can be relied on, and from what I seo of you, I think you.are a Bort of a boy. I want you to drive a delivery wagon, and I will pay you five dollars a week." Jack's eyes opened wide. "It's wonderful good pay, sir, for a boy ike me, I am sure. But I promised to keep on with Mr. Hill for three years, and the second year is only juat begun." "Well, have you signed ? regular agreement with Mr. Hill ?" "No,Bir; I told him Pd stay." "You have a mother to assist, you told me. Couldn't you tell Mr. Hill that you feel obliged to do better when you have a chance?" '.'I don't believe I could," said Jack, looking with his straight, frank gaze into the gentleman's face. "You see, sir, if I broke my word to him, I shouldn't be the kind of boy to be relied on that you wanted." "I gue3s you are about right," said Mr. Lang, with a laugh. "Come and see me when your time is out; I dare say I shall want you then," Jack went home very much stirred up by what bad been Baid to him. After all, could it be wrong to go where he could do ao much better? Almoat dou? ble the wages! Was it not really his duty to his mother to obtain it, and to drive a wagon, instead of trudging wearily along the streets ? They never had felt so hot and dusty as they did just now, when he might escape from the tire3ome routine. "Might, but how ? Py the sacrifice of his pledged word. By selling his truth and hi} honor. So strongly did the reflection force itself upon him, that when he told his mother of the offer he had received he merely added: . "It would be a grand good thing if I could'take it, wouldn't it mother?" "Yes, it would." "Some boys would change withoub thinking of letting .a promise stand in their way." "Yes, but that is the kind of a boy who, sooner or later, is not wanted. It is because you have not been that sort of a boy that you are wanted now." Jack worked away, doing such good work, as he became more and more ac? customed to his situation, that his moth? er sometimes wondered that Mr. Hill, who seemed kindly interested in him, never appeared to think of raising, his pay. This, however, was not Mr. Hill's way of doing things, even though he showed an increasing disposition to trust Jack with important business. So the boy trudged through his three years, at the end of them having been trusted far more than is usually the case with errand boy.3. He had never forgot ten the offer made him by Mr. Lang, and one day meeting that gentleman on the street, ventured to remind him of it, 589. ?? - telling him that his present engagement was nearly out, adding: "You spoke to me about driving the wagon, sir." "Ah, so I did; but you are older now and worth more. Call around and . see me." On a Saturday evening soon after, Jack lingered in Mr. Hill's office after the other errand boys had been paid and had gone away. "My three years are up to night, sir," he said. ? "Yes, tiiey^?re," said Mr. Hill, looking as if he had remembered it* "Will you give me a recommendation to some one else, sir?" "Well, I will, if you are sure you want to leave me." "I didn't know you wanted me to stay. But/' he hesitated and - then went on, "my mother is a widow, and I feel as though I ought to do the best I can for her/and Mr. Lang told mo to call on him." "Has Mr. Lang ever made you an offer?" Jack told him of what Mr. Lang had said to him nearly two years ago. "Why didn't you go then V asked Mr. Hill. "Because I had promised to stay with you; but you wouldn't blame me for try? ing to better myself now ?" "Not a bit of it. Are you tired of run? ning errands?7' "I'd rather ride than walk/' Baid Jack, with a smile. "I think it is about time yon were doing better than either. Perhaps you think you have been doing this faithful work for me through these years for next to nothing, but if so, you are much mistaken. You have been doing better work than merely running errands. You have been serving an apprenticeship to trust and honesty. I know you now to be a straight-forward, reliable boy, and it takes time to learn that. It is your capital and you ought to begin to realize on it. You may talk to Mr. Lang if you wish, but I will give you a place in the office, with a salary of $600 the first year, with a prospect of a rise after that." Jack did not go to Mr. Lang, but straight to his mother, with a shout and a bound. "You're right, you're right, mother I" he cried. "No more hard work for you, mother. I'm wanted, you see I Wanted enough to get good pay, and all the hard? est part over." Bread Cast Upon the Waters. At the close of the war Judge Cothran brought home with him a wounded Con? federate soldier. That soldier was a German. Fired with the patriotism for which the people of the fatherland are famous throughout all the world, he enlisted in the war of the country of his adoption, and fought her battles with distinguished bravery and a daring of which the noblest Southron might well be proud. We know nothing of the particular circumstances connected with the wound which he received, but we do know that at the close of the struggle for Southern rights, he had but one foot and still suf? fering from bodily affliction, while that great distress of mind which always fol? lows the afflicted and penniless stranger in a strange land, was ever present. Though his condition may have excited the sympathy of some who saw him, yet all were poor in money, and all had af? flictions enough of their own. None had much of time or of money to spend on the stranger. During the war, and while the shock of battle was still on the mind, it was natural foe the battle-scarred veteran, who "never shirked a duty nor missed a fight, to sympathise with a comrade who had suffered even more than he bad himself. But it is not always that the citizen, in times- of peace, is willing to give substantial aid and cheering words to the friendless citizen, and the stranger is sometimes not invited and made wel? come within our gates. Judge Cothran, prompted by sympa? thy and a kindness of heart, gave the disabled soldier a home until ho had recovered from his wounds. Words of cheer gave his guest comfort and inspired him with that renewed hope, which im? planted in his heart the determination to cast off the burden which bore him down, and?though mutilated in person?to rise superior to the poverty and the social embarrassments which surrounded him. When be had sufficiently recovered his health, he let the fact be known that he was a cigar-maker by trade, and if he could get the tobacco, he could do some? thing.for himself. Judge Cothran, still anxious to help him who seemed him? self helpless, bought the tobacco, and he ..went to work. After working, awhile in a spare place about the Judge's house, he afterward opened a room in town, and for a time did reasonably well, when he moved away, and our people lost sight of him. That was more than twenty years ago. Last week he came back. The people did not know him, and he did not know them. But bis old friend, whom he had come to see, was glad to greet him, and we presume the Judge has not for many a day, entertained a more welcome guest than Mr. G. Hauser, of Athens, Georgia, and no one ever ex? perienced more real pleasure for having done a kindness to a stranger than has Judge Cothran. Since Mr. Hauser left Abbeville he has prospered well and the world has been good to him. He has now a profitable business in a manufacture of cigars, and money at interest helps him to the comforts and luxuries of life. A good wife and happy children complete the story of his success. His fidelity and unceasing friendship to his benefactor is beautiful indeed,and his success in life could be more pleasing only to his father and mother, than it is to Judge Cothran. While a thousand daily acts of loving kindness may be forgotten, yet the goodness and generosi? ty which the Judge extended to the friendless soldier twenty-five years ago, lives as fresh and green to-day in the heart of the noble German as it did when his acts were fresh in the minds of all.?

If one will take the time to glance over the world and see what influence, control men, he will be astonished per-' baps at finding that even the so-called Christian people are, everywhere, "walking in the counsel of the ungodly." The ball room, the card table, the saloon, the theatre, the race track, the circus, which to the Christians of the earlier days, of the present century were consid? ered sinful things, are more or less visi? ted by professing Christians everywhere, and such is the low standard of the church that it is a rare thing for one to be excommunicated, especially if he has a stiff bank account and possesses influence in the community. There never was a time when so many revolting crimes were committed as at present; and what makes it so fearful, to the contemplative mind, is the fact that, especially in the. larger cities, the officers of the law are not unfrequently controlled by the most vicious elements of society, to the extent, in some instances, of put? ting the quiet and orderly portion of the community in the power and under the control ofthat vicious element. To our mind the church of God is in the midst of a great peril and unless there is a speedy return to these bolder methods which in all ages have overcome the wickedness of the wicked, spiritual? ity, in the church, will ere long be a" thing of the past. There is no. danger but what the church will bo strong numerically. It was so in the days of our Lord, yet it was the church of that day that cried out: "Crucify Him! Crucify Him I" The church in these days, just as it was in those, is very popular. It is respectable to belong to the church, People get into good society by joining the church, and when they join they want a fine edifice in which to meet, and an eloquent preacher to tell them all the sciences and the arts, and quote from the old poets and orators of "ye ancient days," and now and then, by way of diversion, to pitch into Mormonism and cannibalism.' We have good preachers, but is it not to be feared that, instead of leading the -people to a higher life, the people?the worldly-minded, theatre-going, ball going, circus going, saloon-going people ?are leading the preachers down to their level, and compelling them to walk in the counsel of the ungodly ? Header, what do you think of the signs of the times ? The (Joict Observer, Where do worthless men and women come from? From worthless homes. . This is probably the best direct answer that can be given to this comprehensive query, saya the Pittsburg Commercial Gazette. Badly reared children develop into worthless men and women. This is the rule. The exceptions either way are hot numerous; Occasionally you find a boy or girl in a respectable famiiy whose instincts are low and whose tastes are inclined to be vicious. These are the "black sheep." They are not uncommon even in the best families. Is there any necessity for these being black when all the others are white ? - In some instances there is because some children are born with a very low order of moral sense just as some are born with a very low order of intelligence. The greater number of wicked and immoral men and women are such because of defective training rather than because of inherent depravity. They have not had the advantage of an envi? ronment calculated to develop their bet? ter natures. This should be sufficient to show the necessity of rearing children in such a way as to encourage the development of the moral facilities as well as the mental. This will afford the surest protection to society against crime and immorality. How many of those who are interested in providing for neglected children in foreign countries ever think of those at home who are really in a more deplora? ble condition than those who are engag? ing their attention ? What is to be done about it ? One way is for society to take charge of every homeless child and provide for its environment that will tend to develop its hotter qualities. Who are homeless ? All who are without the means of proper education and training. A house and parents do not constitute a home in its true sense. Let society take - charge of all the children that are not properly trained, whether they have parents living or not. It will be cheaper in the end than to allow them to grow up in wickedness until maturity, and then board them in jail or workhouses. Besides, this will decrease the number of criminals and the amount of crime, and in the same ratio improve society. Something can he done by improving homes, but as a rule those who have gone so far to settle down to living care? less, immoral lives, are almost hopeless. They regard their children as accidents, and have no care for them beyond keep? ing them in food and clothing until they are able to take care of themselves. What can you expect from a home the atmosphere of which is reeking with profanity and vulgarity ? You would be suprised to find purity and refinement coming from it. These aro two of the most desirable qualities in men and women. Without them society would go to sticks in short order. They distin? guish the civilized from the uncivilized. ?
