The speaker announced as his theme
The Ideal Of Manhood, or the Model

periods indicated 10 the national esti-

service Is past, some even limit it to the
period when the marriage relation has
been formed and he becomes in heart a

happiness OF life, 1t being impossible
to fix any limit, the period is left as in
definite as it was found.

| EDUCATION OF THE FREEpMEN.-The
superintendent of Education in South
Carolina writes that in 1866 he found
put one white man in social position in
South Carolina who admitted either the
possibility or desirability of educating
the colored children" In 1867 "there are
| $4,000 colored men and women in soutb
Carolina who can read newspaper with
fair understanding of its contents. who
two years ago did not know the alpha
oet." Such facts as these throw a cheer
ing light over the too generally gloomy
aspect OF Southern affairs. They show
not only the capacity and aptitude of
the freedmen to learn-which no sensi-
BILE person now doubts-but also their
great eagerness and determination ia
become intelligent.
with such disposition, they cannot
but make good citizens in the main, and
add immeasurably to the power and well
fare of the South and of the whole conn
try. And yet the amount of money
which has sufficed to produce such re-.
suits is put down at slO6 600, OF which
the North contributed sos 900. In what
other way could this sum have been so
well invested? 1t not only developed
the saving forces of the country, but il
closed up what would certainly have be-
come flowing fountains of poverty, vice
and crime. And these statistics, it must
be remembered, relate only to one small
section OF the South, while the same
oenefcent agencies are at work, with
equal efficiency, throughout the whole
region.

age In the true one there are the
essentials, when fully developed, of a
noble manhood, carrying activity into
Ill the stages OF life and all the in.
fdences that daily surround him. There
are no slow coaches In true Young
American.
The model man was possessed O,
sensibility. There was not a man of
genius bat had something feminine in
his character, which appeared in the
culture received in the school or in the
world, and gave to life that rounded
fulIness which marked the man OF brain
and heart, and gave to the intellect 8
stimulus, received from no other source,
save from on high. He was enabled by
the sensibilities OF his nature better to
profit by his observations gathered along
the hillsides of life. Discipline to such
an one gave self'control, and under its
restraining influence the mental and
moral elements in the individual were
more fully developed.
Aspiration was mentioned as another
element in the composition of ideal man.
hood. The we'll directed and high aspi.
ratlons of the individual for the attain
ment OF good purposes, honorable posi-
ton, and the high planes Of existence
are worthy the highest intellect and
purest souls. Hope, large and expan-
slVe, was implanted in all, but elevated,
pure and christian hope, was laudable
and dignities all human action. Hope
was the foundation, the beginning and
the end o: the story OF the great epic of
redemption.
Service was the last specific topic pre-
scented. The model young man should
be worker; enter into the service of
the great battle of life In whatever posi-
ton was assigned him. Serving in
some occupation, and only by this could
perfect life be attained before its poon.

The pork trade was opened on saturday, the

The hog slaughter is progressing slowly, with,

But few hogs We're killed to-day. Prices range
