School Meeting at Branchyille.

There is to be a meeting a. Branch
vile this afternoon of tho citizens of
that Township for the ,urpose of assess.
ing tax for school purposes. We at
tended one of the same sort, held at that
place on Saturday last. Then there was
uothing done. Nor will tho citizens Of
Branchville ever accomplish any good if
they continue to adjourn from week to
week as they have in the past: Are you
not men Have you not fixed rcsolu-
tions? Do you know whethcrcr not
you have decided to dc anything else but
TO meet and adjourn? !? If SO, the best
thing You could do, will be to burst up
sine die, and let the Ignorant and unedu-
Gated children of Branchville know that
you iutcnd withholding from them the
priceless boou Of education. Such a
non progressive spirit is dead break on
our advancement, aud we would counsc!
the enactment of laws whose enforce
ment would remove tho former from our
midst. a;x
but let US to the meeting. Itappears
that the School Act is involved in a lit
tie mystery SO far as the underst ndinss
of the citizens who compose these meet.
ings, are concerned. They can't under
stand how lit is, and where all the
money is to be spent if, in addition to the
school appropriation, tax is assessed by
them for the same purpose. Where, if
three dollars head, with the poll tax,
be sufficient to pay the current school
expenses of the year, will the appropria-
tion he used? This is not proper con.
ception Of the law. Last year there was
no tax assessed or collected for school
purposes, therefore the appropriation by
the Legislature of the sum of one hun.
dred and fifty thousand dollars. The
tax to be assessed now. together with the
poll, is for the payment Of ner, years
-
school expenses, while the appropriation
will more than exhaust itself in the
liquidation Of teachers claims for ser.
vices rendered during the present year.
Isn't this plain? Docs not common
sense teach one that this is the proper
Interpretation of the School Law? Then
We say to the citizens of Dranchville
Township, meet Don't withhold from
the three hundred ignorant children in
your midst, the precious gift of education
You have the power to bestow it upon
them, and we say, withhold it not. Let
them be able to understand the School
Laws Of our country, bye aud bye, when
they meet together for the purpose of
assessing school taxes. We have attend
cd several meetings in this County, and
it always struck US that it would have
been q blessing if there had been
such thing as Free School long days
ago. The densencss of the ignorance
that now peryades our land, would not
have been SO plain, had such beeu

The Crooked Fingers.

While shaking hands with an old man
the other day, l noticed that some of his
fingers were quite bent inward and he
had not the power of Strengthening them.
Abiding to this fact he said
"ln these crooked fingers there is a
good text for a talk to children"
Let us have it, if you please" we
said. al. a4l
l For over so years used to drive a
stage, and these bent fingers show the
effect of overlooking the reins for SO
many years"
This is the text. Is it not suggestive
one does it not teach us how an oft.re-
peated act becomes habit?
The old mans crooked fingers are but an
emblem of the crooked tempers, words
and actions of men and women.
When you see men and women persist
in doing and saying things that are wrong
and make themselves aud others unhappy,
remember that when young they never
perhaps thought of being so wicked, but
they said wrong words and did wrong ac-
tions and continued so doing until, like
the old mans fingers constantly used in
driving, they became fixed in the course
they had begun.

Come Now.

Robert was careless son, and resolved
to 90 to sea. His mother on packing his
chest, placed tract entitled, "Come
Now" among his things, and followed it
with her prayers that God would arrest
him by its means, in his needless down
ward course -'t
One day, some months after, when far
away at sea, Bob, in rumaging his chest,
came across the tract. The title struck
him" Come Now" Like an arrow, it
seemed to enter into his own soul. He
tried to forget it, but no, the words fol-
lowed him everywhere. a.al..
On returning to the ship one day, he
became utterly miserable, 50 that young
lad, fellow-shipmate, noticed it and said
to him: =" Bob, what's the mtter with
you you look miserable p
eyes, lad, | am miserable" replied
Robert F" that ERE tract, I" Come Now"
has made me wretched"
The lad replied: " All! that reminds
me that l promised my dear old mother
to read my Bible at sea, and / have never
opened it let us read it now" So he
fetched his Bible from his bag, and they
sat down. .H1t ..l ...tr.I q
The lad opened at the first of Isaiah,
and read to the 18th verse: f." Come Now
and let us reason together, saith the Lord !:
though your sins be as scarlet they shall
be as white as snow though they be red
like crimson, they shall be as wool" But
when he came to " Come Now" Bob ex-
claimed " Stop there; those are the very
words, "Come Now; let us see them in
the tract" The tract was produced and
read, and the chapter was finished, and
God was pleased by His Holy Spirit to
show Robert his ruined condition and
to lead him to Christ, .... .lt
Reader have you thus come to the
Saviour to have your crimson sins washed
white in the piecious blood of Jesus If
not, Come Now!"

s NpAY READING.
The ART Of LIre.

1t is great art, while carrying on the
work of life, to seize every means Of rising
beyond it. Most people, consciously or
unconsciously, construct some theory of
life. That of Goetho's, strikes one as
being singularly complete, although we
see even in Mr.. Lewes' version its intense
selfshness For the most part there is
great narrowness in such theories. Any
dapper shopboy talks of seeing life,"
and each man of us prides himself on
being C a man Of the world" Probably a
rat considers his rat-hole to be the world.
There are undiscovered worlds beyond
"the world" of which we worldings
speak. We only penetrate some prov
ince, and cannot even adjust its relation
to the general geography. There are
many men who believe that the great
object of life is the development of the
intellectual faculties. Their definition
of this development is probably too mar
row. 1t is not enough that man should
have Travelled, have acquired knowledge,
should live in the constant investigation
and discussion of all the propositions that
can be submitted to the human under
standing-a man should be many-sided.
He should touch life at many points, and
whenever he touches it he should make
it the lever of advance. What will any
amount of book knowledge do for man,
or what claim has he to the title of real
culture, if he has no love or knowledge
of nature, or has not entered into the
world of music? True development con-
sists in the harmoniously- balanced devel-
opment of the whole complex nature.
That man has msused great element in
it who has missed the love of child, and
wife and friend. He misses much who
has not the gift of the sympathy, that
true democratic feeling, which makes a
man feel at home with want, struggle,
ignorance, passion, aspiration, at the same
time that it makes him free of the compa-
ny of thinkers, poets and good men. 1t
should embrace some experience in the
sorrow, some knowledge of evils, the tears
of repentance, the visions Of faith, and
the breathings of prayer a.
