Thus we 'j mil render the right to tmnish h'juries received, only tp' sce.irre the agoncj j-oJ>law in( obtaining justice for our -pelves. Political society rtCccsoarih involves civil government, and gov ernment impljes/orce and restraint. . K wc inquire into the reason of polil iicui^ocjcty^ .w.c.n^id jvto wc?lo eu?r(| against thd- tfpgrLS*ions and injuries . ?./ olhcrB, for the absence of injustice, no protection on government would lio necessary. With tho truth ol ,'lhcso assertions before us we an ready to apswer that arguu.ent so of ten adduced by1 those; who keenly .w'atcli' any encroachments upon oui personal or political liberty. It is , urged, that a compulsory law abridges tone's rights and desires as a citizen. ?:/*?T contra^ is it proper thnt no re el mints whatever will be laid upon one's lights or desireo? We desin to.' steul a hoiRo, but the l..w inter poses, and pronounces the penalty for tin It; evidently wc are restrained. Ihc children growing up in ignorance through the neglect of their parents is a course manifestly detrimental to the welfare of a State or county, and ,it is perfectly admissible for tho law i.to step up and order those children sent to school. We believe if the Stale has the right to establish a public school sys tem, it should compel the attendance .of its childien. The Stale has tin "same rittht to compel the ignorant lo learn that it Iihb to compel the penu rious lo pay for that learning. It has the same and better right to com . pel the childien to attend school, that it has to compel this man, who is ?childless, to pay taxes to educate the j children of another. Dut if the State has the right to provide for any inter* iial improvement, it has the right to provide for all progress. If the Stale : may enforce regulations for the health of the body, it may do the j same for the mind. If the Stale has ' a right to hang a criminal, it has a better light to prevent that crime by proper culture. The right to impris on and execute implies tho right lo : uso the best moans to proven! the jued of cither. This cry of "tyranni 4 ,eul," "uibiirary," "inconsistent with 'Democratic principles," "antagonist ic to civil liberties," "smacks of mon jarchy," is a false howl, and sounds '?very well in the speaker's own cars, '?but the people prefer facts and figures ?to this long winded rhetoric. If these blatant demagogues would exert one half the zeal in trying lo build up ^ihc educational interests of our conn tiy that they do in parading their brainless heads bolero the- people, wc might have a better government. No, no 1 compulsory education don't mean thai! It means that the gov ernment wants to make useful and honorable and intelligent citizens out of the youths growing up ; it wants 'to enhance the value of its property ; it wants that "cheap defence of a na tion" that Burke spoke of; it wants safety from Ihc attacks of all enemies internal and external, material and .physical, or moral and spiritual; it wants that peaceful security, happi ness and virtue which education alone -? .ii i . ? ? ? cam givp; it, wants communism de posed and justice enthroned ; it wants leliglon, the Bible, the church to go on conquering and. to conquer. 'That's what it wanls I ? Tuk Spelling Reform In tho prog ress of the limes is "booming."

Tho friends of the undertaking believcjit lo he the greatest thing out since J5vc ale the flpol. '! Qxk of the most cheering signs of the times is that teachers and tho press generally arc demanding moral teaching in our schools, and many of' the most influential journals of educa tion are complaining that the system cd' education,.public and private, deal tpo exclusively with the intellect, and hoglebt ihc heart, the affections and Ihc will, 1'nlsied bo the turn that would..{.rush Protestant Cbristnjoity from our schools and colleges, yet the attempt is making in some quar VMS. Ayer's Hair Vigor, FOR RESTORING GRAY HAIR TO ITS NATURAL VITALITY AND COLOR. It is a most agrccablo dressing, which Is at onco harmless and effectual, for preserving tho hair. It restores, with tho gloss and freshness of youth, faded or gray, light, and red hair, to a rich brown, or deep black, as may bo doslrod. By Its uso thin hair Is thickened, and baldness often though not always cured. It checks falling of tho hair Immediately, and causes a now growth In all cases where the glands are not decayed; while to braslry, weak, or otherwise diseased hair, It Imparts vitality and strength, and renders it pliablo.

As a Dressing for Ladies' Hair, The Vioor. is incomparable. It is color less, contains neither oil nor dyo, and will not soli white cambric.
