There Is nc danger of overlooking or

flexible. The world will not communicate
them, because in general it does not possess
them. If they ever adorn the life of indi-
viduals, they must come through early train
ing in the family, and in the school. Hence
the stress which the Scriptures everywhere
lay upon the family relation. 1t is the cor
ner stone Of the church edifee. Hence the
earnestness with which the church calls in
the Sabbath school to her aid. She is weak
and ready to faint without it. Hence the
care of our missionaries Of religion to estab-
lish the public school among the heathen-
They know it to be one Of the most power
ful ciyilizing and enlightening agents. These
facts plainly indicate a vital connection be
tween these great moral forces.
The same thing may be shown more philo-
sophically. For it is not simply a matter Of
selEprcseryation, with the church, to sustain
the school. Itcan be proved that instruction
in religion, though especially the province o.
the church, is necessary and inevitable in
the school also. as il is admitted to be in the
family. For what is religion? 1t is in Tho
most general sense, "Re Union of The sou
to ats Creator" tits 'fthe fear Of tn
Lord" And It's fruits are to be good anc
do good. Man is made for It's exercise. Hi
very constitution cries out for God. Uneeas
ing dependence is a truth Of his conscious
: ness. e The sympathy which attracts the sex
es towards each other is not more universal
nor generally stronger, than that inward wan
which makes the whole human race feel tn
need of God" How absurd then to think
: excluding religion from the place of publ
education Shall man try to obliterate wha
the Creator has written upon the human COZ
+ stitution? Man will worship he must adore
Let him be taught whom to worshipan no,
to do it acceptably.-Te .MassachuSeti

COOKING FOOD FOR ANIMALS.

titles Of flesh and fat on the animal frame

stage possible for the assimilation of the
nutritious particles, is an inquiry of some

the greatest exactness. by many of the
best breeders and graziers of this and the
old country, and that, too, urder the

in all cases shows that animals consume

which had been opposd to the fierce assault

The Democrats Of this State have
placed their State ticket in the field
for Governor, VIM. Bigler, OF
Clearfeld, and for Canal Commits
sioner, Seth Clover, of Clarion. The
Post says this is a good ticket, ard
that it will be elected by 1900 ma
1ority. That editor is, however. no
prophet, as he predicted that Mr..
Longstreih would deIeat VIM. F.
Johnston by 2O,OO0l He now only
claims $1,000, and if the present pre-
dietion is founded on no better data
than the past, which we verify be-
lieve, we shall elect Governor John
ston by s. 900 majority. At the last
electios the terribly disastrous effects
of the tariff Of 1916 were not fully
developed; now the fire Of hundreds
of foundries and forges have been ex-
tinguished, our manufactures Of all
kinds are in a painfully depressed
condition, and thousands Of persons
are looking for profitable employ
ment in vain. This will all be in
our favor. People have not for
COTTON the sudden, genial, and cheer
ing effects OF The Wing tariff OF lS42,
and they will not vote for the party
which is in favor OF restoring it. If
it is said that the great popularity Of
Gen. Taylor assisted in defeating the
Posts prediction. in lS4S, we reply
that the name Of Winfield Scott will
be Just as potent in 1851. As our
neighbor OF the Journal says-and
we are glad to see him coming to
our side on the Scott quesli9n-"a
militia Colonel like Bigler, who nev-
er smelt powder, will have desperate
odds to encounter in VIM. F. John
ston, backed by the overwhelming
popularity of General Scott.

SINGULAR Discovery OF MINE.
A large mine has been discovered by
accident near Wisloch, in Baden,
which. it is conjectured, has not been
opened for thousand years. 1t is
supposed TO have been worked by
the Romans, who mined only for
silver and lead, and disregarded
everything else. The mine contains
about fifty thousand tons of Cddmid
or oxide Of zinc, a substance the
value Of which was entirely un-
known to the Romans. but which is
now used in the manufacture of zinc
paint. Hitherto the mines of New
Jersey have been deemed the only
mines in which this substance could
be obtained.
