FREE SCHOOLS.

The subject Of Free Schools is being
somewhat agitated in this community,
but not with any thing like the zeal &
sarnestness that becomes it. Every
competent teacher, and every friend
of the masses, should lay to a helping
hand, and cause addresses and discus
slons on this subject to be had in every
school-house, by day and night, until
the people shall become fully awake to
a sense of their duty and responsibility
IN reference to the rising generation.
1t is humiliating truth, to us on this
side of the Ohio river, that the common
School houses in the State Of Ohio are
on an average much better and more
commodious buildings, than the coun-
try Meeting Houses in Northwestern
Virginia! We write understandingly,
for We have travelled extensively in
both, with our eyes open; and We give
publicity to the fact in order, if posi-
Die, to secure public attention to it.
One thing is certain: that so long
as neighboring States, North and West
of US, have a complete system of Free
School education, and we have none,
the ladoring class, the real bone and
sinew of our land, more needed to de-
volop our resources than any other
class, aOaH emsgrate. Those only of
the poor who have not energy enough
to crawl away, will remain, and if not
educated, will continue to furnish the
tenant of our poor-houses, jsils and
penitentiaries

ENCOURAGEMENT TO PRAY,

In the late revival in this city, Now
York and other places there have been
remarkable answers to prayer. Dr..
Primes book on the subject abounds
with most interesting incidents. The
leader of one of the late MONDAY meet
ings in New York related the following
as falling under his eye -
In work of grace wife and mother
was converted. She then labored for
the spiritual good Of her family. Her
children, two daughters and son,
were soon brought to Christ, and, with
their mother, became deeply anxious
for the husband and father. He was
an opposcr of religion, and ridiculed
bothit and them. They determined to
set apart time for a family prayer
meeting for him. 1t was not practicable
to meet in their own house, SO one
Saturday evening after the usual meet
ing in the lecture room, they tarrcd
and prayed there. How long they
remained was not known, but they
continued in prayer until they felt as
QUIZ" ti'ub NOu huu HSufu anu would
answer them. They went home. The
next day was the Sabbath. Nothing
was said to the father, but they went
to church as usual. At evening. as
the bill rang, he proposed to 90 to the
meeting with his family. In this they
were rejoiced. Instead of sitting with
his family, lie seated himself near the
door. At tho close of the sermon the
pastor invited those desiring to be pray
ed for to come forward. He rose,
as all thought, to 60 out, but took his
course up the aisle. The pastor met
him with a kind inquiry as to his state
of feeling, and how long he had been
thoughtful. He burst into Gears, and
said, the night before, while alone, he
was strangely led to see his condition
as sinner, and to resolve that he
would no longer fight against God and
His truth. This was the first intima.
ton his family had Of his state of mind.
He there, for the first time, heard that
especial prayer had been offered for
him.

THE SOLDIERS PENSION BILL,

The following is the bill granting
pensions to soldiers in the late war
with Great Britain, and to other
parties thorein mentioned, which has
passed the House of Representatives ::
SECTION l. That each of the survi-
wing officers, commissioned Off

the 18th of June, 1912, be authorized
to receive pension from the United
States, to commence from the first day
OF the present Congress, and to contin-
ue during his natural life.
SEC. 2. And be it further enacted,
That each Of the officers, non. commits.
stoned officers, musicians and privates,
who have served in the regular army,
State troops, volunteers, or militia, of
any State or Territory, for the space
of sixty days or more, against any of
the Indian tribes during or preceding
the war Of 1912 with Great Britain. or

missionod officers, musicians or priyates

self. We read of st. Oloffthat or ask
ing one of his warriors, SIN whom dost
thou believe Z" tho warrior answered,
!" l believe in myself" That man
must have been the progenitor of the
Anglo-Norman race. With the French
on the contrary, society is everything.
The individual regards himself but as
component part Of society, q drop
mixed up with millions of drops; he
believes not in himself but in society !;
and it is from this belief that each
Frenchman might say, My name is
legion People in England will say,
Il am an Englishman : there you have
the article of individuality AN, there
you have the man 'man.' You have
him in the Scothman, Irishman, noble
man, gentleman, alderman, ycoman,
the livcryman, and in the old form of
address, 'Ye men of England--every.
where you meet the man. The des-
ignation of nationality, rank, office, are
but adjectives with him; the man is
the substantive. Your neighbor there
across the channel does not say that
he is Frenchman he will say that
he is French, he drops his personality
and makes himself an adjective, his
country is the substantive. Verify, the
language of u nation is the mirror of
its character. Hence the French &C.
MUS centralizes; the English individ-
ualizes. The French can tell of q pow
erful State; the English of free ma
ton, which never feared, nor never
will fear, any power on earth. The
French have struggled much for free
dom, but scarcely ever were free the
English have struggled but very little
tor, 1t and nearly always were free
