collegiate education is fast failing through
out the land; the people distrust it; and
he proves beyond dispute that the ratio
of young men who 60 to our colleges is
rapidly declining.
If the very life of the State depends upon
education, the Government has an indefeas-
IDLE right to enforce it, as much as to enforce
taxation for it's treasury. The nation is
coming to this conviction, and we do not
personally hesitate to avow our opinion in
favor of State system which shall include
both the primary and the collegiate educa-
ton Of the country. 1t should be NUM-
cipal or State as far as possible, but where
the local States do not properly appreciate
its Importance, the Federal State or Gen.
eral Government should take it in hand
This is what Mr.. Hoar's bill proposes. 1t
provides that in States which neglect it
land some of the Western and Southern
ones do so almost entirely the General
Government shall assess them for it, and
enforce this tax as it does any other, appoint
ing superintendent of education for
Congressional district, and giving practi-
cal and effective attention to it.
Primary education should be thus effect
ually provided by the individual States if
they will, by the Federal Government if
they will not. 1t should be enforced;
neither the individual States nor individual
families should have right to evade It.
1t should be conducted on scheme which
shall admit of no sectarian objection. 1t
should not be complicated with the edible
question: that could be best left to the
local school districts. In many places, the
population is sufficiently of one faith to
admit the Bible without trouble; where
this is not the case, the question should
not interfere with the ordinary primary
instruction of their children. 1t is mostly
in early childhood that these are in the
common schools; they are in their homes
most of the time, under parental training;
their religious education should be found
in their homes, and in the Sunday-schools
and churches of their parents. No Protes-
tant parent should wish the training of his
children to be tempered with by the gen.
orally young and inexperienced men and
women who teach the primary schools
The religious question has, in fact, no
important place in this department of pub
lie charlottesville lNethodist.

In the weary tasks of toiling,
Mid the strife of earthly moihng,
We may hear the Lord still calling,
Come to Heaven at last.
Through our days of pain and signing,
While the forms of love are dying,
We may hear the strong one saying,
Come to Heaven at last.
Ties of love shall here be rended,
And our fellowship be ended;
But, the saints, on thrones assembled,
Meet in Heaven at last.
Here the burning tear-drop falletl,
And the sweetest pleasure palleth;
But, when our good Master calleth,
Twill be Heaven at last.
With the countless white rob standing,
On the bright and cloudless landing,
All our ransom'd souls expanding,
Safe i'll Heaven in last.
While the mighty hosts are singing,
And the golden harps are ringing,
Christ, his blood-bought, will be bringing
Home to Heaven at last.
Free from sins that always bound us,
With our lov'd ones all around us,
We shall laud the King that crowned us,
In bright Heaven at last.

what he calls "The True Story of Mary

the place Of that .garbled version which has
hitherto been received as authentic
Mary had little lamb
Whose fleece was white as snow,
And everywhere that Mary went
The lamb it would not 90.
So Mary took that little lamb
And beat it for a spell;
The family had it fried next day
And it went very well

ensemble which plainly preSages that the end

that no more than i've hundred men respond

to be able TO initiate a revolution, although 1t
b probable that soon riots will occur In the
streets.
In many quarters the widest projects have
been mooted, and the s.names Of the revolu-
