THE SEASONS.
I think the most beautiful sea
son of all is the spring, because
then the trees put out their tet?
d?f green leaves,, aud every
thing seems to have a freshness
about it that,, inspires vigor in
the hearts of every living thiug.
Even the birds' seem to have a
freshuess about them.
After spriug comes summer
with its abundant fruits. Au
other one of summers charms is
the beautiful flowers. Although
spring is considered as the sea
son for. flowers, summer has
some beautiful ones too. The
climate of summer is very hot
in .some places, yet in othtjr
places j it is Just moderately
vvurm. A great many garden
vegetables con\e in summer.
Fall is the next season. I
think it is the next prettiest one.
>Ukty?r& begins to rob the. earth
<vf ail its verdure, and turns the.
leaves red and gold. I thiulc to
go out iu the woods in early fall
and watch J.he . leiwves, .as they

THE ADVANTAGES : OF A
GOOD EDUCATION.
? We of the present generation
ought to discuss ami support
this subject ably?< A little girl
of a hundred years ago could not
?possibly have treated of the
,a4 vantages of a good education
as* well as we. The reason of
this is uot because we have more
ability, .but because she . knew
uothing of such advantages;
while we are surrounded on all
sides by them.
tiood education not only trains
our minds but our souls. It
broadens and strengthens our
Winds, and thus, necessarily, we
develop higher morals through
its influence. These advantages
keeps us in the best classes of
society, and help us in .'iil our
business relations. Our stand in
t he world, and opinion of us by
the world, depend entirely upon
the (unmount of our education.
It is practically a sin, not to re
ceive such instruction when
we have such splendid appertain
ities, as we certainly have; ibe-.
. cause (Jod has given to each in
dividual, some peculiar bent of
mind, and except by education,
this talent cannot be developed.
We are burying our talents when
wo do uot take the advantage of
learning.
We can succeed as butlers, bar
bers, butchers or plough-hands,
without knowing a single letter,
but a certain mnmoinit, of educa
tion is Absolutely necessary even
to the store keeper, clerk or
farmer. While, of course, a
good education is the making of
all professional men.
Do we take the advantage
given us of a good education?
We do in a certain sense, but not
at all as we should. It is getting
so that the black men valutf ?A
education much more than the
white men. '? -
?; Our nation occupies the bigh
position among other nations
which she does chiefly becn|^6
of her fostering of educational in
terest. If our nation adopts tbiB
standard, we ought to try tfttd
follow such a standard. r,

' The Dispensary as a moral in/
stitution is a howl in tj success.
The latest evidence of this fact
is that on lasi Saturday evening,:
a couple of our white citizens,
were rather roughly jarred by a
scautling in the hands of a nu
gro, all being presumably under
the intluOnce of "Crurn" or some
thing better. Our space is too"
limited in this issue to give de-_
tails, but we will wager dollars
to doughnuts that had these
young men been able to purchase
merely a drink instead of being
forced to purchase a half pint,
the affair would not have hap
pened.
