The Faston (Pa0 Fxnress furnish

The Easton (Pa) Express furnish
es particulars of a distressing case
OF poverty. A child belonging to
"a very poor woman died at that
place, and the mother, being too
pool to purchase coffin, place the
little one il. a raisin-box; on Sun
day morning started with the box
under her arm, and accompanied
by her little boy of four years OF
age, for grave yard in New Jer-
Soy about two miles below Easton
where her friends are buried
and where she thought she would
be allowed to bury her child,
though she had no money to pay
for It's interment; but upon reach
ing the grave yard, the sexton re-
fused to dig the grave because she
had not dollar to give him; and
roughly told her to carry the child
back to Easton again. The poor
creature was almost exhausted
from carrying the dead child such
distance under her arm, and she
went down upon her knees implo-
ring him to bury her little one, and
offering him fifteen cents-all the
money she had; but this did not
move him. She then took up the
box again, and returned home
with her little boy, who was too
small to be Of any assistance to her
IN getting back her sorrowful load.
In the evening, a gentleman
who had been told of the case went
to the garnet in which the poor
mother lives, and took away the
dead child, burying it for her with
out charge.

Education Some think the ed
ueation of a young lady to consist
in learning how to make nets to
catch affections, not cages to keep
them when caught; Others consid-
er it to be turning the human sub
ject into a living encyclopedia, but
neither Of these, | am convinced
Is your view. ] believe Won think
that education is the drawing forth
and cultivation of those powers
of body, mind and heart which our
Lord has bestowed on each indi-
vidual, so as to have all the tools
he has entrusted to his children
FURNISHED, well set, and in good
order to execute whatever work
he III his word and providential
leadings has or may appoint them.
And that, therefore, it is not so
much his individual science OF
that accomplishment which is to
be brought to high perfection but
rather that general power, cult
walton strength, self-discipline and
steadfastness of purpose which
shall give the ability of efectually
turning the powers OF the heart,
the mind and body, to the actual
duties and purposes and refreshing
influences of a scriptural woman's

Those who were not repulsed were left
upon the floor with broken heads. The
door was replaced and everything nova

The Tories igDomiously Withdrew TO
The shelter of the surrounding trees and
