GRISpINa SEED CORN.-The Abingdon Pr
giaiaa has the following appropriate and
we'll timed remarks
President Davis says-''When a youth un :
der is joins the army, instead Of continuing &
at school, 1t is ike grinding seed corn.' The
Illustration is good one, and as true Re gos-
pei. No youth under Is has any business in
the army. and in nine cases out of ten is 3
drawback instead of q benefit. In conse-
quence OF the great NUN Der of boys in the
army, nearly all the colleges in the country
have been suspended. Not only SO, but even
the female colleges have either suspended
altogether, Or are dragging along at a dying
rate With but q small number of pupils. This
is more TO be regretted than the suspension OF
male schools, for the reason that there is n o
excuse for it. Young ladies do not 60 to war,
nor does war make their stay at home neces-
sary. In consequence of the scarcity of mo-
ney in such times, men imagine their inabil-
ity to ed ducate their daugh ters, but they should
remember that, in all human probability
years will come and go before there is an i'm :
proyement in this respect, and that a large
minority of men are better able to educate
their daughters now than they will be two or
five years hence, when the full burden Of the
war debt will be upon them. The present
therefore, is the time to educate our girls, or
risk the probability of permitting them 10
