Ignorance and Crime.

Ignorance is nearly related. to crime, as
rum is TO assault, aud balery. According tc
The reports just made by the different Sher'
ifs, it appears that the whole number of con.
victions in The several Courts of Record and
of Special Sessions in the several cities oi
the State, from the year 1910 10 1s4s, was
27,949.
Of the persons so convicted 1883 are re.
turned as having received "common edu-
cation" Ala as "toleraby well educated"
and 1873 only, or one in about two hundred,
as "well educated" OF The remaining &c..
225, about half could barely read and write
the residue were wholly destitute of instruc-
ton.
Of l,I22 persons convicted id is47, tweu-
ty-iwo only had "common education:" ten
only tolerably good education" and six
only, or one in one hundred and eighty.
seven, we're "well educated"
OF l,345 persons convicted in 1s4s, twen-
ty-three only had common education"
and ten only were returned as "educa,ed."
"These facts speak like Gabriel, "lrumpel
tongued, and show how absolutely neces.
sary it is 10 educate people if we would pre-
vent them from filling our jails, penltenliar-
les, and State Pfison.-Albany KaiekerbOeker

Parental Defects.

have said that parents are the natural
teachers of their children. That is, it is their
duty as far as they are capable, to give their
children the first elements Of knowledge
My avocation for some years has convinced
me that great amount of labor is thrown
upon teachers, which should have been dis.
charged by the parents. The result is that a
great deal OF time and labor is spent at
school without much benefit in consequence
of the children not having received any in
lelleclual training al home.
In many instances parents have received
bat very little intellectual discipline them
selves, and The depression of poverty as the
case may be, or intemperance or oil these
causes combined may have crushed the no.
BILE aspirations of their minds for knowledge
and subtued their desires for the improve
ment for their children. Many children arc
deprived of parental care, and thrown upon
the broad face Of an unfeeling world with
out receiving that wholesome, moral and in.
tellectual training, of which they stand so
much in need, and which is absolutely
necessary to make them good citizens.

A STRONG SToRY.-A wild friend of ours
(Selma Tom,) told US the other day, the fol.
lowing tough story:
Tom says he got acquainted with very
companionable fellow from one of the noun
tain counties, who happened 10 be in Selma
on business. This was in August last
Mountain Sprout was member of the church
but long way from home and having nev.
er experienced iced cocktail before, he "iook
on as much as he could wag wilh"-Tom
aiding and abetting. In due time Sprout went
home, but rumors of his potations followed
him, and the church brought him 10 law for
drunkenness. Sprout, on trial, admitted that
he had, while in Selma, got little 'foxy,"
but then he told his brethren the "big Jumps
of ice they had at tie bar were so inviting,
be couldn't help drinking"
Thereupon an old brother got up and said,
that for his part, il the young brother had on.
y got drunk under the circumstances OF be-
ing away from home and falling into bad
company, he should have been in favor of
forgiving him, on his proper acknowledge
ments. "But, BRETHREN" he wound up, ''ihis
