Parker, R. B. A. Robinson and John T. Ashley have been appointed Trustees for Martin To*nship. Through a misunderstanding with the printers we fa iled to get in. the matter for oar Teacheru' Column last week. We thought to omit one issue daring the holidays, and instead we omitted two issues. Mr. 0. M. Barret still "wields the rod" at Willifordstore. We spent a coaple of hoars with him recently, andean only emphasize what we have previously written about this school and its teacher. The fact that they stick to him shows the 'hold he baa upon these people. , Wm. A. Griffin is in charge of the col* ored school at Ebenezer, six miles north of town. This teacher has had experi? ence, and is doing some good work there, but lacks facilities for teaching. He has a very poor house, and next to no blackboard. His patrons should bestir themselves aad fix things up better. The Ridge Spring folkB have employed Miss Lizzie Shirley again, after having tried her laet er timer. We. found her busily engager7 m her work, and her pupils attentive. She impressed us us a conscientious teacher, anxious to know and do her duty, and we feel sure that she is honestly trying to give the patrons "value received." Miss Eddie Davis still "holds the fort" at the McLjes school honse, where we spent two or three hours very pleasantly, and we hope profitably. Miss Eddie is earnestly striving to advance her school, and carries it very near her heart. She has & scheme of "busy-work" for the "little ones,"' which we would like for her to give to the teachers through the Teachers' Column. At the Taylor colored school the Trus? tees have employed Miss Rachel Reeves. We called on her recently and found her in a new house on a piece of ground bought and paid for by her patron This house is quite an improvement on the old one, ibnt still lacks seating and writing facilities, without which no teacher can do good work. This teacher holds a diploma, and we think can do some good work, but needs to be careful about putting in time. We made a visit to the Mount Tabor folks a short time since, not to see the , school, for it is not running, bat to see sod talk with the people abont their school interests. We stopped with friend Poore, and after sapper we pro* ceeded to the Church, where s respecta? ble audience were in waiting, and, after listening to us for twenty or thirty min? utes, they decided to arise and build, and proceeded at once to raise the means to buy the site and put up a honse. They then selected Miss Mamie Warren as their teacher, and decided to run their school for six months during the present year, and longer the next. There seems to be quite an awakening on educational matters in this community, and we hope some good seed was sown there, which will, in the near future, bear good and abundant fruit, At New Prospect we found our quon? dam school boy friend, Mr. W. Y. Miller, "teaching the young idea how to shoot." He had only about twenty pupils the day we called, out of a possible eighty or more, but this is the case everywhere we have been, and is accounted for by the fact that the people have been greatly pressed to take care of their abundant crops this year. We saw here more of the "blae-back?" than aoy place we have been to. It is one of the strange things that people will go and buy, not simply this book, but any other, before they send their children to school and hear from the teacher what is wanted. Are the patrons aware of the fact that the law expressly prohibits the School Commissioner from signiug the school claims where books are used that are prohibited by law ? It is not a question as to whether the law is right or wrong, but simply what it is our duty to do under the law. Then don't buy books until you know of the teacher what to buy. All the schoola in the County are in full blast now, and will be for the next three or four months, and there is great responsibility resting npon both teachers and parents in order to secure the beet results. The heavier responsibility, per? haps, re.-ts upon the teachers by reason of the great opportunities that are daily present with them for accomplishing mach good. These children of the County will be with as in the school room day after day for months. They will receive impressions and instructions from us that will be as lasting as eternity itself, and let us see. to it that we come up to the fall measurevof our opportuni? ties, for the greatness our opportuni? ties is the measure of our\responsibility. This work of teaching immortal minds is serious business; then let us devote our? selves to it seriously, putting away from onrselvea all thoughts and plans for.frolic and frivolity, not that there is no time or place for such things, but that this is not the time, nor the school room the place for these things. Let ob make oar school room the harden of oar thoughts by day, and of oar dreams by night. Let us carry it continually in our minds and near our hearts, always on the alert for something to promote the best interests of oar children, and to make our schools centres of influence, and fountains of blessing in and to the communities where they are located. And parents, too, share with their teachers a large measure of responsibility in this matter. They should see to it that they give to their teachers a cordial and undivided support and co-operation. Let your children see that you are interested in and about the school, and manifest that ioterest by a prompt and regular attend? ance of your children, and by making some sacrifice to promote the comfort NDEESON, S.C., TI and progress of your children. Indiffer? ence and neglect has spoiled many a good teacher, and dissipated any good results that might have occurred. Yon cannot claim to be interested and act indifferently without your children know? ing it, for they are logical to the last degree. What is a Creamery. Editors of the Anderson Intelligencer: In answer to your question, I will say that, as we now understand it, a "crea? mery/ is a place where the cream is separated from milk in a sort of profes Bional or scientific manner. One mode of separating is to set the deep cans of milk in water kept at a temperature of 45 to 50 degrees, when a complete sepa? ration is brought about in from eight to twelve hoars. Where this mode is prac? ticed, we have what is called a creamery ?a bureau or kind of cabinet piece of furniture arranged to hold the milk cans where either spring or well water may be used with or without ice. This style of creamery may be of any size, from a small dairy or family size up to a size that will hold the milk of a hundred or more cows. The other mode of separa? ting the cream from milk Ss by mechani? cal means?by the use of what is called a separator?a centrifugal mill into which the milk can be put and the cream separated immediately after taking from the cow. This separator is a costly machine, and cannot be profitably used to work up the - milk from less than 100 or 150 cowp. In either mode, the ripen? ing or maturing of the cream ready for the churn, and the churning, may be the same. Bat the man that "gets there first" is just now a little ways behind both.of these methods, who is now on exhibition with what is called a " butter extractor." This is also a machine on the centrifugal order, which, extracts all the oil or butter fat contained in the milk immediately after taking from the cow. If this butter extractor becomes an entire success it will knock out of our vocabulary all that business now called creamery business, and we will get up closer to the cow, and call this new business the butter factory?where the dairymen may carry their cows' milk and have the butter ground oat of it very mach after the fashion we now have of carrying wheat to mill to get the fioe, white- floor ground out of it. The remaining problem about this batter extracting business is, what about the flavor? Some of the professional, pro? gressive, and other dairymen, who will continue dairying after the orthodox fashion, insist that the cream mast go through the ripening process in order to give the butter that aromatic or nutty flavor that is bo palatable and desirable in first class batter, while oa the other hand, the batter extractor men claim that the flavor is already in the buttera cious materia, and all that is necessary is to separate the butter globules from the sack in which it is enclosed and we get the flavor, and it does not matter whether this be done by a chemical or mechanical process. Thus it is apparent just here that science and progress in the dairy business go hand in hand here as well as anywhere else, and the day 1b nigh at hand when .dairying and farming mast be taught in our colleges as a science, for there is science in feeding animals as well as managing the balance of the dairy business; and the man that puts before as the old gag "that oar iliterate fore? fathers made better crops than we now do with all our knowledge," needs to be told that a man can get sick and break down his constitution without the aid of science, but he calls on the science of medicine to build him up again. A man can, without any knowledge of science, cot away the beautiful forest, fire the prairie, and butcher away in the rich virgin soil and make good cropa, but when mother earth has been robbed of this virgin soil and the farmer is called upon to build it up again he cannot do it without the aid of science. By the aid of science we have Been the flinty phos? phate rocks of our coast regions turned into the best fertilizer and seat to the in? terior to be used by the unscientific far? mer; and who can Bay that if those far? mers who use these fertilizers knew as much about the science of its use as those do that manufacture it that we would not reap three times the value we now do from its use? If ever these bare, im? poverished lands and hills of ours are covered again with a green dress after the fashion of dame Nature and made to "blossom as the rose," it will be done through the aid of Bcience in agri? culture.

From his New England banqnetfc speech: "This is said in no spirit of time serving or apology. The South has nothing for which to apologize. She believes that the late struggle between the States was war and not rebellion, revolution and not conspiracy, and that her convictions were as honest as yours. I should be unjust to the dauntless spirit of the South and to my own convictions if I did not make this plain in this presence. The South has nothing to take back. In my native town of Athens is a monument that crowns its central hills?a plain, white shaft. Deep cut into its shining side is a name dear to me above the names of men, that of a brave and simple man who died in brave and simple faith. Not for all the glories of New England? from Plymouth Rock all the way?would I exchange the heritage he left me in his soldier's death. To the foot of that shaft I shall send my children's children to reverence him who ennobled their name with his heroic blood. Bat, sir, speaking from the shadow of that memory, which I honor as I do nothing else on earth, I Bay that the cause in which he Buffered and for which he gave his life, was adjudged by higher and fuller wisdom than his or mine, and I am glad that the omniscient God held the balance of battle in His Almighty hand, and that human slavery was swept forever from American soil?the American Union Baved from the wreck of war." (Loud applause.) "Now, what answer has New England to this message ? Will she permit the prejudice of war to remain in the hearts of the conquerers, when it has died in the hearts of the conquered? [Gries of 'No 1 No I'] Will she transmit this prejudice to the next generation, that in their hearts, which have never felt the generous arder of conflict, it may perpet? uate itself? [No! No! J Will she withhold, save in strained courtesy, the hand which, straight from his soldier's heart, Grant offered to Lee at Appomat tox? Will she make the vision of a restored and happy people which gather? ed above tbe conch of your dying captain, filling his heart with grace, touching his lips with praise and glorifying his path to tbe grave; will she make this vision on which the last sign of his expiring soul breathed a benediction, a cheat and a delusion ? [Tumultuous cheering and shouts of 'No 1 No V\ If she does the South, never abject in asking for com? radeship, must accept with dignity its refusal; but if she does not; if she ac? cepts in frankness and sincerity this message of good will and friendship, then will the prophecy of Webster, delivered in this very society forty years ago amid tremendous applause, be verified in its fullest and final sense, when he said: 'Standing hand to hand and clasping hands, we should remain united as we ? have been for sixty years, citizens of tbe same country, members of the same government, united, all united now and united forever. There have been diffi? culties, contentions, and controversies, but I tell you that in my judgment, Thoao opposed eyes Watch like the meteors of troubled heaven , AU of one nature, of one substance bred, Did lately meet in the intestine shock, Shall now, in mutual well beseeming ranks, March all one way,'" [Prolonged applause.] An Arraignment of Liquor. Here is the way he arraigned liquor at one of the prohibition meetings in Atlanta in 1887: "My friends, hesitate before you vote liquor back into Atlanta, now that it is shutout. Don't trust it. It is powerful, aggressive and universal in its attacks. To night it enters an humble home to strike tbe roses from a woman's cheek, and to-morrow it challenges this republic in the halls of Congress. To day it strikes a crust from the lips of a starving child, and to morrow levies tribute from the government itself. There is no cottage in this city humble enough to escape it? no palace strong enough to shut it out. It defies the law when it cannot coerce suffrage. It is flexible to cajole, but merciless in victory. It is the mortal enemy of peace and order. The despoiler of men, tbe terror of women, the cloud that shadows the face of children, tbe demon that has dug more graves and sent more souls unshrined to judgment than all tbe pestilences that have wasted life since God sent the plagues to Egypt, and all the wars that have defeated since JoBhua stood beyond Jericbo. Oh, my countrymen, loving God and humanity, do not bring this grand old city again under the dominion of that power, It can profit no man by its return. It can uplift no industry, revive no interest, remedy no wrong. You knew; you know that it cannot. It comes to destroy, and it shall profit mainly by the ruin of your sons or mine. It comes to mislead human souls and to crush human hearts under its rumbling wheels. It comes to bring grey haired mothers down in shame and sorrow to their graves. It comes to deBtroy the wife's love iuto despair and her pride into shame. It cornea to still the laughter on the lips of little children. It comes to stifle all the music of the home and fill it with silence and desola? tion. It comes to ruin your body and mind, to wreck your home, and it knows that it must measure its prosperity by the swiftness and certainty with which it wreaks this work." A Pretty Picture. Could anything be prettier than this, the way he closed a speech on prohibi? tion ? "The best reforms of this earth come through waste and storm and doubt and suspicions; the sun itself, when it rises on each day, wastes the radiance of the moon and blots tbe starlight from the skies, but only to uulock the earth from tbe clasp of night and plant tbe stars anew in the opening ' flowers. Behind that Bun, as behind this movement, we may be sure tbere stands tbe Lord God Almighty, master and maker of this universe, from whose hand tbe spheres are rolled to their orbits, and whose voice Shas been the harmony of thiB world since tfeft morning stars sang together." \ The South'tt Dnty. The\f?ll?wing extract is from an Au ' ?usfa speech ? \ 3, JANUARY 9, 189' Whet, then, is the duty of the South ? Simply tola. To ntaintftin the political as well as the social interests ?f her white race, and to appeal to the world* for patience and justice. Let us show that it is not sectional prejudice, but a sectional problem that keeps us compact? ed. That is not the hope of dominion or power, but an abiding necessity?not spoils or patronage but plain self-preser? vation that holds the white race together in the South. Let us make tbii so plain that a community anywhere searching its own heart Would say "the necessity that binds our brothers in the South would bind us as closely were the neces? sity here." Let us invite immigrants and meet them with such cordial welcome that they will abide with us in brother? hood, and so enlarge the body of intelli? gence and integrity, that divided, it may carry the burden of ignore nee without danger, Let us be loyal to the Union, and not only loyal but loving. Let the republic know that in peace: it hath nowhere better citizens, nor in war braver soldiers than in these States. Though set apart by this problem which God permits to rest upon us, and which there? fore is right, let us garner our sheaves gladly into the harvest of the Union, find joy in our work and progress, because it makes broader the glory and deeper the majesty of this republic that is cemented with our blood, Let ns love the flag that waved over Jasper and Marion, that waves over ns, and that when we are gathered to our fathers shall be a guaran? tee of liberty and prosperity to onr children and onr children's children, and know that - what we do in honor shall deepen, and what we do in dishonor shall dim the lustre of its fixed and glittering stars. [Great cheering.] Some one has said in derision that the old men of the South, sitting down amid their ruins, reminded him "of the Span? ish hidalgaa Bitting in the porches of the Alhambra, and looking out to the sea for the return of the lost armada." There is pathos, but no derision, in this picture to me. These men were our fathers. Their lives were stainless. Their hands were daintily caBt, and the civilization they builded in tender and engaging grace hath not been equalled. The scenes amid which they moved as princes among men, have vanished forever. A grosser and material day has come, in which their gentle hands could garner bat Bcantly, and their guiltless hearts fend but feebly. Let them sit, therefore, in the dismantled perches o f their homes into which dishonor hath never entered, to which discourtesy is a etranger?and gaze out to the sea, beyond which their armada has drifted forever. And though the sea shall not render back to them the Arguses that went down in their ship, let us build for them in the land they love so well a stately and enduring temple its pillars founded in justice, its arches springing to the skies, its treasures filled with substance. Liberty walking in its corridors; art adorning its walls; reli? gion filling its aisles with incense, and here let them rest in honorable peace and tranquility until God shall call them hence to "a house not made with hands, eternals in the heaven." Extracts from the Boston Speech. Below is an extract from his late Bos? ton speech: The love we feel for that race yon cannot measure nor comprehend. As I attest it here, the spirit of my old black mammy, from her home np there, looks down on me to bless, and through the tumult of this night steals the sweet music of her croonings as thirty years ago she held me in her black arms and led me smiling in to sleep. This scene vanishes as I speak, and I catch a vision of an old southern home with its lofty pillars, and its white pigeons fluttering down through the golden air. I see women with strained and anxious faces, and children alert yet helpless. I see night come down with its dangers and its apprehensions, and in a big and homely room I feel on my tired bead the tonch of loving handB?now worn and wrink? led, but fairer to me yet than the hands of mortal woman, and stronger yet to lead me than the hands of mortal man? aB they lay a mother's blessing there, while at ber knees?the truest altar I have yet fonnd?I thank God that she is safe in her sanctuary, because ber slaves, sentinel in the silent cabin, or guard at ber chamber door, puts a black man's loyalty between her and danger. I catch another vision. The crisis of battle?a soldier struck, staggering, fallen. I see a slave, scuffling through the smoke, winding his black arms about the fallen form, reckless of hurling death?bending his trusty face to catch the words that tremble on the sticken lips, so wrestling meantime with agony that he would lay down his life for his master's stead. I see him by the weary bedside, minister? ing with uncomplaining patience, pray? ing with all his humble heart that God will lift his master up, until death comes in mercy and in honor to still the soldier's agony and seal the soldier's life. I see him by the open grave mute, motionless, uncovered, suffering for the death of him who in life fought against his freedom. I Bee him when the mound ia heaped and the great drama of bis life ia closed, turn away and with downcast eyes and uncertain step start out iato new and strange fields, faltering, strug? gling, but moving on until his shambling figure is lost in the light of a better and brighter day. And from the grave comeB a voice saying: "Follow him I Put your arms abont bim in his need, even as be was mine." And out into this new world?strange to me as to him, dazzling, bewildering both?I follow I And may God forget my people when they forget these. Best Extract from His Boston Speech. Far to the South, Mr. President, sepa? rated from this section by a line?once defined in irrepressible difference, once traced in fratricidal blood, and now, thank God, but a vanishing shadow, lies the fairest and richest domain of this earth. It is the borne of a brave and hospitable people. There is centered all that can please or prosper human kind. A perfect climate above a fertile soil, yields to the husbandman every product of the temperate zone. Thereby night the cotton whitens beneath the stars, and by day the wheat locks the sunshine in its bearded sheaf, In the same field the i ?um _ clover steals the fragrance of the wind and the tobacco catches tho quick aroma of the rains, There are mountains ored with exhauatless treasures; forests?vast and primeval; and rivers that, tumbling or loitering, run wanton to the sea. His Plymouth Kock ??Iurestf. I dare not attempt to make an unmed itated speech, standing on this rock. Let me say, however, that I have long wanted to stand where I stand to-day, and drink deep the inspiration of this great spot. I recall the immortal mes? sage seat by Samuel Jobnaon from the Hebrides: "Little to be envied is that man whose patriotism does not gain force on the field of Marathon and whose piety does not grow warmer amid the ruins of dona." Let me say to yon what may sound strange coming from a Georgian, and yet it is true?unalterably true. I have a son who is the pride and the hope of my life. God knows I want him to be a good man and a good citizen. There is no spot in all this broad land?nor in all this world, where I had rather have him come to learn the lessons of right citizenship, of individual liberty, of heroism and fortitude and justice, than the spot on which his father stands to-day reverent and uncovered." ARP Iff KENTUCKY And What 23- S.w in the Bine-Grass Re-. Stoib Atlanta Constitution. All the blue grass I ever saw at home was green. I thought that our climate or our soil or something made it so, and that I would find it blue in Kentucky; but it was the greenest kind of a green, and on inquiry I learned that it was nev? er blue oxcepf vrhen in bloom, and it was the bloom tbao made it look blue then. I learned that the seed had to be sown to get a set, and that rag weed and crab grass followed their crops just like they do here. The shocks of corn still stand? ing in the fields were a novelty to me. They were loaded with ears, and the far? mers could be seen husking, and the golden yellow corn lying on the ground by the side of the shocks. Of course they have to tear the shocks down to find the ears, but they put them up again, and like our fodder stacks, they stand in the field until they are needed. Tobacco is the great money crop, and you can see samples hanging in the stores and even in the counting-rooms of the banks. They told me that one-third of all the tobacco made in the world was grown in Kentucky. As every county and every town has its own individuality I found the unpretending people of Flemmingsburg prond to say that Flem ming county bad fewer rich people and fewer poor ones than any county in the State, and there were more farmers worth from eight to ten thousand dollars than could be found in the same area anywhere else. That is saying a great deal for the happiness of that people. The golden mean is the best: "Give me neither poverty or riches." Millersburg is noted for hor education? al advantages. Two prosperous colleges, one for boys and one for girls, are there, and they have patrons from all the Southern States. The female college is an especial favorite with the people of Arkansas. Dr. Pope, the President, 1b a Georgian, and cf course that has some? thing to do with the success and prosper? ity of his school. From careful observa? tion I will venture to say that there are more teachers from Georgia scattered over the South than from any other three States. Dr. Pope has nearly 300 girls in his charge, and ninety of them are board? ing in his household. Just think of it. What a family?what a responsibility. Their morals, their ma' ners and their health all to be cared for, in addition to their education. They come from differ? ent households with different training, different traits of character, different habits, and all have to be assimilated and governed alike and made to conform to one system. What a compliment it is to the president and his wife that as the older graduate and marry their younger sisters are sent to take their places, and in many cases the children have taken the mother's place. What a splendid chance these college boys have to choose their mates, and "vier versa." I have always thought it v, > a good plat to have a col? lege for boys ;?hcre there was one for girls. It is the next best thing to a mixed school that I know of. From Millersburg I went overland to Paris. A friend with a good horse took me over the splendid turnpike nine miles in forty minutes, and we dident seem to be in a hurry. The reins were carelessly loose in his hands, and he had time to tell who lived in every house along the way and something of the family history. That horse never broke his trot a mo? ment, nor seemed to be pressed or tired. We passed the loll gates without stopping, for the rule was to pay as you returned. Oh, those delightful roads; why can't we have them in Georgia? A lovelier country than that around Paris and Lex? ington, the eye never looked upon. The farming lands command one hundred dollars an acre easily, and where pleasant? ly located near a pike, and having a grove in front of the mansion, bring twice that sum. The roadB add largely to their value. A team that would struggle and strain over our roads with 2,000 pounds will easily pull 5,000 pounds in Kentucky and do it in half the time. Fine horses Are the big think there; everybody talks horse. The women and the children and the preachers know the pedigree of the thoroughbreds better than they know the ancestry of their most intimate nabors. Colonel Stoner showed me a colt that he had refused five thousand dollars for, and yet I couldn't see that it was as fine as a colt as several that we had exhibited here at our little colt show last fall. "Blood, sir?blood-pedigre makes the difference," Baid he. Colonel Stoner owub 'Baron WilkeB' that he has refused seventy-five thousand dollars for. A minute in a horse's speed make:i a difference of thous? ands in his value?no not his value but his price. Col. Craddock, the venerable editor of the Kenluckim, came in the cars as I. was leaving and saluted me in a tu? multuous and hilarious manner. I was sorry to part from him. There were some questions about Daniel Boone that I wished answered and it was told me that the colonel was an intimate friend of volum: Boone's. All matters of antiquity are re? ferred to Iiim and his decision is final. He told me about his sSfviee in tbe Mex? ican war and had juat began to narrate how General Jackson sent him to the British at New Orleans with a coffin and his compliments to bury Fackenham in, when onr train moved off and spoiled tbe story? Tbe colonel said he had never married for reasons too tedious to mention, but had recently concluded to do sor and; was now looking around for a matev Success to him. H9 looks like he is good for a scoie or two of years. On oar retarn we met a wreck and were delayed five hoars of the night. In our car were two young girls richly and tastefully dressed. Oar attention was attracted to them as they chatted together and counted their money. One said there was ninety dollars and the other said it was eighty-five, and they counted and re? counted and made it eighty and sometime a hundred anS soon began to reel over toward each other. Then they took a drink oat of a bottle and giggled and coaated their money again. A gentleman behind as said that was the third drink in hall in hour. When we met the wreck most of as left the car and went forward to view the provoking prospect. On our return we missed chose girls and a lady told us they were outside down in a ditch and snre enough they were?their bats off and their beautiful sealskins and furs and dresses mingled with the mud as they re? posed in a drunken sleep. It was very dark but after while the lanterns came and they were taken to a shanty near by and we left them in their shame. Oh, the pity of it, the pity of it. We were told that they were milliner girls on a Saturday evening's lark. Now there is somebody to blame about that, for it k against the order of woman's nature. Fathe's, mothers, look after yonr girls. Look kindly, tenderly, firmly?keep them at home if you can and make home pleas? ant, make your home pleasant. Be it ever so humble, make it a home that the children will love. Don't scold, don't fret, don't look miserable. Fine clothes and fine furniture are very nice, but it takes kind, loving words to make a home. The wreck of a train was bad enough, bat the wreck of those two young lives haunt me. And there is a boy that' troubles me; a lost boy whose name is Willie Lee Thomson, who left his good mother's home in Atlanta nine months ago and has not been heard from. He is a smart, bright-faced lad of thirteen years, well educated for his age, slender form, dark hair, large dark eyes and long eyelashes, comely features and quick in speech. His mother's heart is well-nigh broken, Jost Bach a boy has been here and found a home with a good farmer, bat he left with some gipseys a few weeks ago., This boy said he came from Florida, and that his father and mother were dead; bat he admitted later that he had told a story, and said that his mother lived in Atlanta ?bat he woald not give his real name. Maybe this description will meet the eye of some one who can locate the boy. A reward of twenty-five dollars was offered, 1 and little descriptive slips sent all over the country, Mrs, Alice Thomson, the mother, writes that she will doable the reward. Indeed, she would give all the little she has to find her boy. What good mother woald not ? What a Christ? mas gift it woald be to her to fold him in her arms and weep over him and make him promise never to leave her again. She does not want him arrested or brought to her by force, bat she wants to find him and go aftei* him. Friends of humanity, please look out for that boy, and if you find him write to her. And now A rich and merry Christmas to the rich, A bright and happy Christmas to the poor, May no boys run away, no girls get in the ditch, And the wolf stay away from the door. Bill Aep. Sonnd from a Rainbow. One of the most wonderful discoveries in science that have been made within the last year or two is the fact that a beam of light produces sound. A beam of sun? light is thrown through a lens on a glass vessel that contains lamp black, colored silk or worsted, or other substances. A disk having slits or openings cat in it is made to revolve swiftly in this beam of light, so as to cut it up, thus making al? ternate flashes of light and shadow. On putting the ear to the glass vessel strange soundsjare heard so long as the flashing beam is falling on tbe vessel. Recently a more wonderful discovery has been made. The beam of sunlight is made to pass through a prism, so as to produce what is called tbe solar spectrum, or rainbow. Tbe disk is turned and the colored light of the rainbow is made to break through it. Now, place the ear to the vessel containing the silk, wool or other material. As the colored lights of the spectrum fall upon it sounds will be given by different parts of tbe spectrum, and there will be silence in other parts. For instance, if tbe vessel contains red worsted and tbe green light flashes upon it,'loud sounds will be given. Only fee? ble will be heaid when the red and blue parts of the rainbow fall upon the vessel, and other colors make no sound at all. Green silk gives sound best injred light. Every kind of material gives more or less sound in different colors, and utters no sound in others. The discovery is a strange one, and it is thought more won? derful things will come from it.?Chris? tian at Work. A Friendly Meeting. "How are you feeling, old fellow ?"
