Educated Labor.

Every profound thought lifts shadow from

EARN Drainage or Celestial Mechanics, :"
helps forward the millennium.
The advantages of intellectual culture are as
obvious in those pursuits involving manual labor
as in the learned professions so called. good
education is of some consequence to the lawyer
and physician it is of not less consequence to
the mechanic and the farmer. We have known
professional men who could make a little learn
ing 90 q great way with the wondering multitude;
but such poor tricks cannot be played of upon
the hid den forces of nature. 1t is the finger OF
Intelligence alone which can touch the secret
springs that set the mountain streams to the mu-
sic of machinery, and clothe the naked fields
with waving grain. 1t is a maxim in New Eng
land factories, where uctuating and often hos
tile tariff has taught wise economy that they
cannot afford to hire cheap, ignorant labor. Not
many years ago. factory in Lowell imported
large number from England But it turned out
that these persons, though paid but half the wa

were nevertheless an expensive luxury to their
employers They could not earn their living,

or four exceptions dismissed. A partner in one

How to Teach the Alphabet.

SAD mistake. He cited an example of forty bows
seven years old, coming to learn their alphabet.

required to make nice sentence about the fish

letters that make the word. They were then re-

the word. This was done also the making of
the letters on their states, forming the word

alphabet, by no novice, but by the best learned

~ The following incident is recorded in the
early annals of Indiana legislation:
My old friend, johnson W-,then barely
OF age, had been elected to represent the county
OF D. in the Legislature which was about
TO meet at Vincennes in 1919. But let him tell
his own story:
when was near Vincennes began to think
what very sorry figure |, a green country lad,
would cut in an assembly of the wisdom of the
State, and it required all my resolution to keep
me from turning back. Somehow or other /
managed TO get through the swearing-in process,
and sneaked away TO a seat, from which l hard
ly ventWed to look up until the House adjourn

rather gratifed to find that l was to have as a
room-mate brother member who. as he had
made at least six speeches during the forenoon
session, naturally regarded as one of the great
men of the House. After dinner he came up to
our joint room and carefully closing the door,
pulled out of his pocket an enormous, old. fash
Toned, bull's-eye watch, and handed it to me with
this remark:
Uncle Jake told me. just as l was starting,
that ought to have watch, and loaned me
this, but don't know how to screw the thing

Self Sacrifice.

Can anything be more shocking than this in

swore that he would kill his daughter, a girl in
her sixteenth year, of whom he was very fond.
The poor child shut up in room near the roof
of the house, istruggled away from the knife with
which the drunkard threatened her. At last, un-
able to appease her father and finding it impos-
sible to escape, she said Father, if must die

then rushed to the window and threw herself into
