TO Teachers & Friends Of Education

70 Te6CnerS Z 9'TlenGS CT EducatlQn'
The seml-annual session of the Union &
Snyder County Teachers Institute, Will be
held III Freeburg, Snyder CO., TO open on the
27h inst, and CONTINUE in sersion several
days. \ large number oCteachers and friends
of education are expected 10 be in attendance
The School Directors, 50 far as heard from,
have generously agreed to let their teachers
attend without requiring them to make uP
the time, thus spent, for their own improve
mcnt, and hence for the benefit Of their
Schools.
Last year, some Boards of Directors allow
ed Their teachers one week to attend the Sc
lnsgrove Institute, but, unfortunately, some
Of those teachers either went to visit their
friends, OF attended 10 their own domestic al
fairs, and did not 20 near the Institute; and
others. who did attend IN the evening, took no
part in the exercises or discussions. Hence,
when he duties Of the School room were re-
sumed, no improvements either III the amount
OF knowledge, skill in teaching, or power Of
governing was visible IN the teacher. In con-
sequence. the Directors and citizens lost ron-
fIence IN the good Effects OF those Institutes.
We hope that. in futIFe the Directors wi!l re
quire the teachers to present certificate Of
membership before they censure the cause or
Judge of the effects Of Institute. We also hope
that our teachers will avail themselves of the
benefits Of the Institutes.

Calmly sinks to rest, around him,
Drawing peacefully his mantle.
Still to use another figure.

GENTLE CARRIE, may no sorrow,
Ever cloud thy fair young brow;
Happier still may each tomorrow
Find thee than the happy now.
Peace and sunshine o'ergo with thee
All that is Of living WORTH
Making all thy future happy, '
t And thy heaven begin ON earth.
AS friends we meet, as friends we part,
And meet perhaps on earth no more;
But friendship lives within tho heart,
And growing still forevermore,
ftrue, God-trusting, hopes TO find
ils friends, where friends are of one mint
And all is happiness.

Hospitality in the House Of God

"Every church that would prosper

Yes, and not only to strangers. but
to acquaintance there should be more
respect exhibited. Many times with.
in the past year, and especially upon
crowded occasions, have we been led
to notice how little hospitality is
shown at our churches. We have
seen strangers, acquaintance and la
dies walk into church, and be COM
PEELED to hunt about for ten minutes,
before they could get seat, and some
times they have had to retire from the
house. And no one said anything at
ALL The selfish multitude would not
volunteer a seat, and no one was
there who would see to their being
seated. Now, why don't the elders Of
the churches. or the pastor, who is al.

their non-attendance offer, some in
ducements. Let person be appoint

all are promptly and courteously pro-

sion, let the person whose duty it is,

WINCHESTER:
10 Oar Patrons.

Friends, we told you last summer
that we didn't intend to dun you until
about Christmas. Well, we have kept
our word. 1t is certainly aggavatine
TO read duns, and seldom will our al.
most boundless leniency permit US to
even demand any of our debtors to
pay up. But Christmas is nearly here,
and we must have some money. We
have lots Of it owing to us, and we
most respectfully ask all who owe us
for subscription, job-work, &c, to
come forward or send their indebted
ness at once. Now, kind reader, if
you owe us anything at all, above one
cent, don't think we are talking to
Others and not to you. Your little
bill, if paid, would help some; for,
while we generally owe in large sums,
vet our "assets' are all in scattered
places and in small amounts, but
added together they will amply, aye, n
great deal more than meet our liabil-
titles. Now, just consider that you are
addressed Don't say that the little
YOU owe would not be missed if you
ever do not pay it, for all the rest may
think and act just like you. You re-
member that there was once, in some
place in France, a minister OF the
gospel who was much beloved by his
congregation So they all (some 25)
concluded to present their preacher
with a bottle OF wine, apiece, made
by each one of them, as testimony
of their regard. But one little French
man concluded that he would fill his
bottle with water, which would not be
noticed with "a good ones The bot
ties were then all sent, when 10! and
behold, every Frenchman had enter
tanned similar thoughts, and had each
one sent q bottle of mater for wine,
thinking his would not be noticed
And now, friends, we want none of
YOU to send as water. Let Us have
wine-or, in other words, let us have
the amounts you owe us, and we will
be- stimulated to renewed energy and
exertion, and will ever be grateful
DO help US. You have no idea how
much our expenses are yearly, all OF
which take cash out of our pocket, and
we are depending on what you owe
us, to meet them. Now, friends, see
who can let US have the most money
by Christmas--see who can come up
most promptly.

what is Il Bank.

The common law defines it to be an
artificial person capable Of contracting
and being contracted with, and liable for
its Indebtedness to the full extent Of its
means. The broken brokers and com.
mercial gamblers say it is an institution
organized to loan them the means to
swindle honest labor out of the products
of its toll. In point Of fact the definition
of bank of issue is that it is a certain
number Of persons who are authorized by
the Legislature TO issue notes Of hand TO
pass BY delivery in double or treble the
amount Of their capita and receive
therefore twice or three times as much
interest as other citizens are authorized
to receive.
When the managers and owners get
into trouble they are TO be exempted from
the ordinary liability OF persons. They
must not be compelled to pay their debts
because they owe more than other peo.

They ought to stop payment when they

owe them must plank up. 1t is the duty

1t is impolite to enter printing Of

invariably bothers the printer.
1t is impolitc, when you enter a
printing Office, to read any manu-
script or other matter on the case Of

read what is being printed Off by the

Gov. McRae, of Mississippi, pro.
claims Thanksgiving in the following
manner, which is more remarkable for
a business like than a religious spirit:
Since have been in office | have, in
each year, as Governor of the State,
without any authority Of law, but
sustained by ancient custom. appoint
ed a day Of Thanksgiving. Thursday,
the nineteenth day Of this month, is
the day now appointed, and trust it
will be observed. There is, certainly,
some super-ruling Providence which
has brought US into existence, and
which will ultimately accomplish the
ends for which we were created, not
