"Well, mother," an? swered the young crab, "it seems to me that I go exactly like you do. Go first and show me how and I will gladly fol? low." ?JCtop. The fable of "The Two Crabs'' has in it a fine lesson. We publish it for the lesson it teaches, and for the further pur? pose of getting us many of the pupils as will to write us letters bringing out the moral contained iu the fable. What does it leach ? For the five best letters we will give each a book of standard re? citations. Children, iet ua hear from you. We heard a sermon not long since from the text "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shell make you free." From this sermon we caught the idea, and fixed it in our mind, that the road to freedom is through the knowledge of the truth. Teachers, the way to be free from the failures and mistakes of life is to know the truth. Notice please it is the truth, not just any truth, or a truth, but the truth, if we only knew the truth of lite and life's duty, it would make us free from many of the sins and blunders we make. Pupils, if we only would know i lie truth of our duty to our play? mates, our teachers and ourselves, how free we wouid often be from such rude? ness, disobedience and failures. Lei us all know in school "the true aim is char? acter building." To build character it is essential that the teacher direct his work toward developing th? thinking powers. The whole circle of knowledge is now called into requisition. Natural science should be taught in the schools from the very lowest grades; through nature their hearts and minds are expauded, and di? rected toward the wisdom and goodness of God. Cramming is a crime. It is only digested food that makes muscle; nol what a man knows hut what he is and what he can do is iiie test of true education. Industrial training is all import sun. By it it our hoys and girls are not only taught the principles that underlie many of thi1 trades, but it is w most excellent mental discipline and is most conducive tu the cultivation of the intcntive faculty. Natural science should be a part of the teacher's prepa tiou. To speak of menial culture as a result of a classical education and to in? stil upon it us necessary to the highest degree of mental culture is a mistake. There are but two books, the Bible and Nature, cine written by the pen of inspi? ration and the other by ihe finger of God. Trachers should study God's works as manifest in his nature und Iiis will aa revealed in the Scriptures if they would attain the highest degree of mental cul? ture. The mistake of the schools has been ignoring God's work fur man. How many of us cau say "I know the truth and am free?'' Study your lessons to kuow the truth iu thetu. WANTED.

Still those wir' have scrve-d I:'!:;: in the I apprenticeship of growing the golden wr-cd have discovered things to be done here and there which i: is well foi (v;.ry planter to know. The experiences of such men are valuable, and the writer I hixa secured from two of the oldest and Ik'Pt known planters in ih-rSoulh the gist of what tbrty know o.?: the suljecl of crop management. One of these, P.Iajor 11. L. ttagland, of Virginia, perhaps the besl knowu tobacco piantcr and seed man in the South, e^ udenses Iiis advice to plant? ers in the following language : ''it is important to commence cultiva? tion soon after planting, lo loosen the soil and start the plants growiug. Just at tiiis point many planters fail todo their duty, which no subsequent work can atone for. Early, rapid and thorough cultivation is iiccesiary to produce first class tobacco. If the preparation baa boon thorough, thrice ploughing, followed each time with a hard hoe, will s-ullico for the crop. "For the first plough ng no implenieut is better than the wing coulter, the next best the cultivator or double shovel, which the coulter point*. second ploughing may be effectually doue wish tht turning * plough or cultivator; if grassy use the first. The. last ploughing is most effectually done with three fur? rows with the siugle shovel?a furrow ou each side?thon splinting the midJle with the third and last furrow. "Never scrape down tobacco with the hoe without putting back on the hill or bed much dirt as is scraped down. This wili prevent baking and save many plant should a dry spell follow the hoe working. "Any process which stirs the soil ef- I fectually and often and keeps the plants free from grass and weeds will constitute good cultivation, :;n matter how aud with what implement done. Old lands wiil I require more work in cultivation than new and dark grades more than bright. Short singletrees should be used after the plai.ts are half grown lo prevent tearing and breaking the leaves." The other expert in tobacco crop man? agement referred to is Col. Davis, of North Carolina, who for many years was the foremost tubacco planter in his State, and one who has used ids pen wisely aud well in giving his fellow planters the benefit, of his experience. Colonel Davis condenses his advice in the following paragraphs : ?'The cultivation of the tobacco crop, though thorough, should be superficial? that is to say only the surface soil should be stirred, the subsoil being left intact. "As soon the plant baa taken root, which is -hewn by its changing color, it should b" worked with the hoe only by removing the crust of the hiil, and draw? ing loose earth around the plant. This destroys the firs! crop of grass and bcips tu destroy the cut worm. Hut if th? land between the rows has become foul it should be ploughed with the bull tongue or show! at the rirsi working. ''When tile plant* have covered )the hills?say a breadth of twelve inches? they should be worked thoroughly with both plough and ho.-. This ploughing should be with the huii tongue or .-hovel, using short singletrees', and running it clor? to the plant:! ;?:??! throwing nur the ! row with four ???<? live I'urr .v.--. if the land has become very foul :; turning plough is preferable. With the hoe all the surface soil shouid be drawn into hills around the plants as at first This work? ing is a lay-by with the plough, which should never be n;jed after the plants have come to (op. Dut later than this, should the land become foul, it should he scraped with the hoe only. Any vegeta? tion which springs up after the plant bus attained its growth does it no barm, but is beneficial rather in keeping the iower leaves from beinp: rr.nded. Hut to the eye of the genuine fanner it is unsightly and is disadvantageous if a wheat crop is to fellow, ft had better be kept down 10 the last." With such comprehensive advice the piantcr need not go astray iu the man- J ageinent of his tobacco crop, so far as the cultivation is concerned. Care should be uken never to work the land when too wet, or sure damage lo the plant will fol? low. As already hinted above, the plan ter must also be watchful not to bruise the leaves of the growing plan!. With new bauds this precaution is necessary, as recklesn hoeing "r ploughing can do great damage to the crop. 11. E. 11A K.M .\X. Wiimion, -V. C.

Mow stcadiiy and surely have wo been ! drifting away from 'he cielen customs. And how steadily and surely has Iho current of trntio, of indu-tries :\: I of population been pointing toward central? ization. There be- but throe or four-cities left in the United Slate under this ;:y?lera of concentration.

Ii was a steady current from the country to the town?, then .'Vom the smaller to the larger town, then /Vorn Ihese larger towns to the city, and now ih~ smaller cities must drift on to greater ones, which will resolve :,t last into a concentration of trade and indus? tries that will force- the current back and let it r-prt-r.il itself over the rural diitricls und v.'.l will bo prou'* of being a country? man. What great Lopes were buildcd upon the prospect of more schools and better schools, of more towns and bigger towns, of railroads and great inventions; ; 11 these tilings were looked forward to rs if liicy were the salvation of the c lualry and great coming opportunities; people run to meei i: aud took near cuts to get to it. The children were taught to believe that the plodding life of the farmer was a great hardship and the balance of the world had au easy life. How sadly mis? taken these ideas have proven you have only to look at the suffering and discon? tent that is rife, iu the land to be con? vinced. The railroads that were expect? ed to bring the world's products right to our doors to be had for a song have proven a disappointment to the masses. Meat and breadstuff's are higher and harder to get now than before. Meat that uster be driven through Georgia on foot and sohl in towns at three cent a a pound, now sells at ten cents brought here by lust freights. The oid-time hog drover was uot a very polished fei low but he sent sunshine into ihe poor homes by his liberality. Then the butchering was done in the town where the Meat wa-i to sell, and poor people were welcome to ilotk to ihe pens and gel hogs' feet, livers, melts, chitlings, all such as this, the poor could get just for nothing. Them were old ways in Georgia and it would be a blessing if the same old ways was here to-day. Who knows how many thousands of people liiere is to-day who are yearning fur a return of the old-time customs? How many have strained through prime lo old age in the hope that something would bring relief, but il comes not. Hope, the phantom that it is, pointed to the polish and accomplishments that was being dossed to the children by lhat great thing "opportunity,'" and held the old man up while the children were aui?ii, hut steadily ."nd surely demands have grown., incomes have fallen off, and this hard winter weather finds many a family stuffed with big notions and with uot a thing lo keep the sifter going nor warmth to cheer Ihe fireside. If there was ever a family that needs to be pitied it is the poor folks of town who have It'smed lo crave modern style. When J think of one of them a* shiver? ing in this bad weather, it brings to mind the roaring fires of ihe country homes, the old-limo country homes, where the bright blaze throwed out its light from the old fireplace, lending warmth to the great old room and making cheerful ihe maids who spun and the ma'runs who knit and the boys who scrambled over walnuts in the corner and giving to the old folks a freedom from anxiety that ! poor people of the towns have never known. What a contrast is there in these old time fireside scenes as compared with the poor folks of the towns. There ;? no cracking of walnuts, no zooning of the spinning wheel, no plying'of the knitting needle. A kerosene lamp gives out a dim light for the young people to read by and the old folks droop over the c ut iu the grates. Anxiety is impressed upon the faces of the old and a "banging" i f the hai" in paper rolls is the only indi? cation of a thought for to morrow among the young. Calico can be bought so cheap now, is the Argument, cheaper than they can make it, and they can bi?y stockings that reach away above ihe kneo lor tee cents, and get them ringed, streaked and striped ht t .10 hoot, A WO man's pretty blockings is a thing -w< v to look upon, but the white, home knit and home sj tin aud a c >tlo:s idling for gar? ter aiiKwered every per; ose and kept 'i: > ten ccntrf at home.

When he asked me to lend bin; my pencil for a moment it furnished me an opportunity to draw him into a con? versation. "Going homo to spend the holidays?" 1 asked. "Yes, sir," he said, as his eyes gleamed with joy. "Yes," he continued, :'i am going home in the morning?back to Georgy. I came to Dallas County fifteen years a^o and have been workiu' hard ever ? . nee. [\\? got me a good farm now, L?:il times U awful hard and money is scarcer than i ?ver seed it afore.

I thought sho' that I was goin' last year, but cotton got so low I couldn't afford it, so I put it off until this year. Well, sir, cotton is lower now than f ever seed it afore, and it keeps a getting lower and lower, rro this year I allowed thai if I waited till next year I mought uothin' for my cotton, and then I couldn't go at all." ?'1 expect you will have a great time," I observed. "Yes, sir; I will be the happiest man you ever saw. I can sec my ole mammy now settin* dowu at night by the fire, and an ole hickory backlog on the dog irons, knitting some socks for sister Jinuie's children, and paw, he's smoking bis ole pipe, and they are talking about me coming home. Lord, just to hug my ole mother again?it makes me feel good to think about it. Aud to see that ole house where I uster live! I remember how I uster lay awake of nights and look out the winder at the stars and think about comin' to Texas, and now I lay awake of nights thinkin' about home. Thinkin' about the ole spring down the hill and the gourd hanging on the rock ; I can see the e>!d path just as plain as if J was there now. Wonder if things have changed much around there, anyhow?

Hut yon bet I'll get lots of souse and liver pie, and maw cooks back? bone better'n anybody I ever saw. They made a plenty of 'simmon beer, too, and that's the best stuff I ever drunk, except the water out of that old spring. "Then I'll go over to Shady Grove Church about a mile and a half from home, and se-e where my sister and two brothers are buried, Sister died just after I was born, and my brothers, they was killed iu the war. Fpstairs in the closet is two gray jackets and two old mu-kc-ts that's been there ever since I can remem? ber. When I was a little feiler I recol? lect seeing my mother going to that closet.

It is not generally known that only ?fGJ ,000,000 of standard silver dollars are in circulation. The government is un? able tn pay these heavy coins out. People prefer the paper currency, se? cured by their deposits in Treasury vaults. It is only in the agricultural districts of the South and West that the uilver dollar is acceptable. In the great trade centres the people refuse it because of its weight and receive coin certificates in lieu of Ihem. A MINK Ol' ORKAT WEALTH. In a great underground vault in a court yard of the Treasury building there are stored to-day nearly $200,000,000 of these .silver dollars. Time and again the government officials have sought to get them into circulation, but they drift back and paper certificates are exchanged for them. The building of thi3 immense silver storehouse was no small undertaking and it c st the government many thousands. It is constructed of steel and hard bricks and the inner part is seperated into cells similar to the ceils of a jail?the par? titions being latticed '.vith fiat steel bars. As a mat1 er of course this gloomy cav? ern is well guarded. In every portion of its walls and flooring delicate wires aud other apparatus are introduced con? nected with the alarm system of the building. The removal of a single brick or the intrusion of an instrument of any character would serve to notify the alert watchers above that the treas? ure was in jeopardy. Atone period all of this silver wealth was secured in bags containing $1,000 each aud to each chamber or cell, was alloted $10,000,000, but owing to the dampness of the vault the bags quickly decayed and so wooden boxes have been substituted, which are piled one upon another like a merchant arranges his wares. HOW IT IsJ ALL GUARDED. Ou of the interesting feature? of the grpat 'treasury Department is its guard system. The stranger rarely notices the fact that all the entrance ways have in addition to their ordinary woodeu shut ten', heavy iron doors of chilled steel through which openings is left for the purpose of defence. At flic main por? tal the watch room is located, and in this chamber are arranged switch boards representing the fire and burglar sys? tems. Here, too, an officer is constantly on watch and these boards are his es? pecial charge. Grouped in gun racks like those of a military armory, are for? ty deadly Winchesters and as many re? volvers and short swords. These are numbered aud each member of the treasury watch is instructed to instantly laj his hands on his weapons in case of emergency. In addition to these ordinary military precautions there are other means of defence. In all the corridors of the building at regular distances there are water plugs, so arranged that they may be used as the means of fight? ing a mob as well as the fiery element. These plugs have double connections, one with the water system of the city, and the ? Iber with the water in the b 'tiers of the great engines in the base? ment of the treasury building. In the event a mob should march upon the treasury the brigade of firemen would be instantly drafted to aid in repelling it. From the upper stories of the building it would be easy for them to send volumes of-ealding water into the streets below, and '. is estimated that no mob would withstand each punishment very long. how M'.vr.v h pj:stro*i i:i>. Some years ago the Government peo? ple destroyed all mutilated paper cur? rency by burning it In one of the basement rooms the old bills after being duly counted and punched were thrown into a retortor furnace, and a fan was started t<i iriten'riify the li^at so that the inceneration might he complete. Even with il'N precaution the plan did not work and it was no unusual occurrence for citizens to piek up pieces <?; half charred notes blown through the chim? ney stack, and oiler them at the Treas? ury counters for redemption. Finally some genius suggested a niHcerator and such a machine was rigged up and is stili in use.

Just what the nature of that punishment will be, we may not now fully know. l!ut we do know thai it will be severe and without end. And we know, too, that one element in the misery of the lost will be their associa lios with devils, and those that will be like them iu character. All the dwell? ers in that wretched sbodc will be un? holy. They have no h.?v? to God, nor to another. There will be no benevo? lent feelings in any heart.

There will lie gathered all the offscouring of the earth, all the v?e an 1 the vicious, all that indulged i:i all sorts of wicked? ness. The wretched dens of infamy and of iniquity will pour their inmates into that prison of de?pr.:r, where they will be mutual tormenters, and use their power to augment each other's wretch? edness forever and ever. Were there no other source of mi-ery this would be enough. This would cause every cup"*" to overflow. This would be a hell indeed?a punish? ment greater than could be borne. Pres? ident Dwight, iu bis sermon on the Fal? len Angels, says: "Perhaps there is not a more affecting, mere overwhelming consideration to a 361 ious mind than this: that evil mc-u will hereafter b:; confined in the same habitation with these hateful beings who arc possessed of a disposition to do everything which is injurious to Gud and their fellow creatures, and to perpe? trate all the crimes dictated by malice, cruelty, deceit aud revenge*. To be im? prisoned in this world with a collection of abandoned villains ; to bo hated and despised, deceived und hetr.iyod, - \< pressed and insulted, wounded to il e soul with unceasing cruelty and treach? ery, and broken down with scorn and insolence, eve:: for our present and mo? mentary life, would, I think, be a lot sufficiently dreadful to lacreate the soul with agony. What then must be the nature and misery of a confinement with these powerful, active, sagacious beings, whose minds ore all malices, fraud and cruelty, and whose endless being is only a succes-ion of rage, revenge and de ? spair !" We wonder not that ii should be 'he earnest prayer of the Psalmist: "Gather not my sou! with sinners, nor my life I with bloody men." Jf we would avoid that misery we I must here cast in our lot with the peo? ple of God. Ic must he the language : of our hearts : "your people shall be my people, aud your God shall be my God." We ourselves must be the people of God.
