We are constantly being educa
ted. Every thing in our surround
ings communicates to US something
OF its own nature if we voluntarily
enter Its atmosphere. Real purity
of mind can only be sustained by
keeping the thoughts pure. 1t is
not safe to permit ourselves to be
engaged or interested by any thing
which is coarse or indicate either
in i.ssel for in what it suggests. ~
We never spent more than a few
minutes in Criminal Court, and
would not do so voluntarily. We
think that even women who 60 tC
criminal trials are, many of them,
attracted by the "spice Of coarse
ness" with which the proceeding
are usually Favored. We woulC
like to have, if it were possible
only pure and beautiful things to re
member.

As we promised last week, we 90
on with some thoughts about the
amount of knowledge, and the ex-
tent Of mental application and cul-
turc in this part Of the country, or
especially, in Randolph County.
We do not speak of the lack of
knowledge among US for the sake of
ending fault with the past or the
present; the defects of the past are
out of reach; but if there is to be
any Improvement in the future we
must, in some way, conc 60 see the
truth in regard TO this whole sub
jet.
To proceed directly, we do not
know of any one here who is engag-
ell in the study of any particular
branch of knowledge; or who has
ever thus sought to learn what may
be known of one subject.
Yet it is only by such concentra-
ton of interest and labor upon one
thing, that any one can attain true
scholarship or in any degree increase
the total amount Of knowledge a
mong US.
Do not think we are finding fault
with people for trying to learn toe
many things at once; we do not
know of any one who is trying &c
learn anything. Very few people il
this region think that when they hav,
"quit going to school" there remains
anything more to be studied OF
known. While at school their tim,
is all devoted to the study Of the ell
ementary branches.
There are very few, if any, of on
friends who have studied Chemistry
although there are several who cal
teach it. No one among us knows
any thing of the Flora of our owl
County, or could give the characte
Of the plants in single fence cor
ner. No one is pursuing the stud,
of Geology, and few are likely I,
learn where we live in regard to Gle
illogical eras or formations.
1t would be well to know some
thing of Entomology, and any &C
quaintance with this branch of Nat
ural History can be made PRACTICAL
useful; but we do not think any bod
here has given the subject any atten
ton.
There are other branches of know
edge of which we might speak, bu
we conclude with Geography i
any one, even among our teachers
has more than a slight, superiicis
knowledge of Geography, we are no
aware of it; although of course, an
body can teach it with the book i
his hand.
These things demand attention
Thinking and resolve must 90 befor
any valuable work. If any of on
statements are not strictly corrcC
we will gladly modify them.
Next week, in our Educational al
ticle, we will consider the Student
work, with some of his helps an
hindrances.

foreign watch IS generally made on no prin-
ciple at all.
Let us look at the contrast. The foreign
watch IS mostly made by women and boys,
by hand. While their labor is cheap, their
work is dear at any price. Such watches are
m lde without plan, and sold without guar
antee. They are irregular in constructive,
aud quite as irregular in movement They
are designed only to sell, and the buyer Is
the party most thoroughly sold. Those who
have kept "ancres,'' "lepines'' and ''Swiss
levers" in professed repair for few years
will appreciate the truth of our stat, Inent.

Instead of being made of several hundred
little pieces, screwed together, the body Of
the American Watch is formed Of SOLID
PLATES. No jar interleres with the har-
mony Of its working, and no sudden snock
can throw its machinery out of gear. Sc

TIE BAzAAR.-The desire Of the public
to visit the Bazaar seems to increase rather
than diminish. Throughout the day yester-
day crowds Of people were coming and 60
ing continually. At noon q sumptuOus din
ner was served by the ladies, on tables ar
ranged for that purpose in the hall of which
hundreds partOOk. The receipts of the va
riOus booths were large yesterday. The most
of the sales are made during the day time,
the attractions Of the evening and the great
crowd interfering with the business there.
Great credit is due the ladies, who give
their time andlabOr in carrying out the de-
tails Of the enterprise. Many of them are
making great sacrifices in the way of ease
and comfort, and deserve much praise for
their self-sacriseing efforts in behalf Of the
orphans.
Last evening the hall was packed almost
to sufocation, and hundreds went away una
bic to get in at all. Over dozen ladies
tainted from the heat and crowd, and we're
borne down stairs. The policemen rendered
essential service to such unfortunates.-
There should be some plan devised for vsnti-
lAting the hall, for the atmosphere, in such
serOEda as last night, is enough to shake the
nerves Of the struz.F-vst.
