A HOnefMI Sign.

fs Only g few weeks have elapsed since
the abrogation of slavery, and already
the leading minds in the Southern
States are occupied with changes in the
educational system, made necessary by
the alteration in the civil status of SO
considerable portion of the pOpula-
tiOn. The former aristocratic element
having disappeared-not,i indeed, from
the manners and habits of those who
We're nurtured in it, but from the civil
OrganizatiOn-the truth has been ap-
pretended that other changes, and par
ticularly in respect to education, must
follow, and the sooner the better.
a leading Virginia journal says:
COnceding to material necessities
the first rank in our present organized
and depressed condition in Virginia,
we claim that foremost in the second
rank comes, on the score of principle,
policy and necessity, a full, complete
and successful system Of primary free
schools for the education of the youth
Of the State. No free and prosperous
State can long preserve its liberty and
prosperity without it,"
Here is distinct recognition of nee
essary relation existing between Popu-
lar Education, in the true and wide
sense, and "Liberty and Prosperity"
under the really democratic orguniza-
tion of Virginia has been forced to
adopt. In the general perception of
this relation, and systematic action in
accordance with it, must the South
seek compensation for its recent losses,
and development that shall enable
her to equal the prosperity Of the
North.

A RECONSTRUCTED REBEL BISHOP.
Twelve rebel officers and soldiers who
were killed in Virginia, in last April,
were buried at Savannah, on Sunday
week, with imposing ceremonies,
nearly all the Protestant clergy of the
city taking part. Bishop Elliott, of
the Episcopal Church, delivered the
eulogy, in the course ofwhich he said:
"The time has not yet arrived to raise
a monument to perpetuate the memo
ory of these gallant men, but as sure
as there was God Of justice above,
that time would come when the com-
try would recover from its present de-
.lirlum, and monument would be
raised toward heaven in memory OF
those martyred ones now gone for
ever" ''.. I.' i.''-.

INDIVIDUAL REsPONSIBILITY.-The moment a
man parts with moral Independence the mo-
ment he judges of duty, not from the inward
voice, but from the interests and will of party;
the moment he commits himself to leader or q
body, and winks at evil because division would
hurt the cause; the moment he shakes off his par
ticular responsibility, because he is but one of q
thousand or million by whom the evil is done
that moment he parts with his moral power.
He is shorn of the single hearted faith in the
right and the true. He hopes from man policy
what nothing but loyalty to God can accom-
plish. He substitutes coarse weapons, forged
by mans wisdom from celestial power. Chan
ming.
SWEET OLD AGE.-God sometimes gives to q
man guiltless and holy second childhood, in
which the soul becoms childish, and the facul-
ties in full fruit and ripeness are mellow, with
out sign of decay. This is that sought-for land
of Beuland, where they who have travelled man
fully the Christian way, abide awhile to show
the world perfect manhood. Life, with its
battles and its sorrows lies far behind them;
the soul has thrown off its armor, and sits in an
evening undress of calm and holy leisure Thrice
blessed the family or neighborhood that num-
bers among it one of those not yet assembled
saints.
A WISE BURGLAR.-"You bet," is q slang
phrase in California, signifying strong affirm
alton The following story is told of that re-
gion: A burglar, at midnight, climbed up to a
chamber window and cautiously opened it.
The occupant, CHANGING to be awake, crept
softly to the window, and, just as the robbers
face appeared, pressed against it the cold, smooth
muzzle of a revolver, with the injunction, "You
git" "You bet" replied the robber, drop
ping to the ground and running for his life.
