A NOBLE BEQUEsT.-Robert Barnes
died recently in Evansville, Indiana.
Before going he made will in which
he gave more than half million dol
lars to be used in the education of poor
children of liberal minded parents. He
says:
have for long time been impressed
with the Importance of educating a Ger.
tain portion of the poor, for which, in my
judgment, there is but little provision
made either by Church or State, viz,
the poor children Of parents who are des.
titute of means, who have no connection
with church or sect of any denomination
who style themselves Christians, or any
secre. society or fraternity; and of plac-
ing them, by the early cultivation of their
mind, and the early development of their
moral principles, above the many temp
tations to which through poverty and ig
norance, they are exposed
The scholars shall be provided with all
suitable books. They shall be instructed
in the various branches Of sound edu-
cation, compromising reading, writing,
grammar, arithmetic, geography, naviga-
ton, surveying practical mathematics,
astronomy, natural, chemical aud expert
mental philosophy, and other branches,
as the capacity of the several scholars
may meet or warrant I would have
them taught .tacts and things, rather than
cords and signs, and especially l desire
that by any proper MEANS pure attach
ment to firmly honest principles, and to
the sacred rights of conscience, free
thought and liberal sentiments, which are
the truer innate principles of mans ma
ture.
Scholars shall be admitted in the Col
lege at the age Of six years, and continue
till the age OF eighteen, if they desire, at
which time, npon due examination and
approval of the Superintendent he or she
shall receive q diploma. 1'i
My desire is that all the instructors
and teachers in the College shall take
pains to instil into the minds of the
scholars the purest principles of moral
ty, so that on their entering into active
life, they may, from inclination and
habit, evince benevolence among their
fellow creatures, and love of truth, So
briefly and industry, adopting at the same
time such religious tenets as their mature
reason may enable them to prefer" 1ae
A good deed has been done in the name
and IN behalf OF children Robert
Barnes has provided shelter for the
Fathers poor. Indiana will be better.
for the deed, the world will be better,
and the donor will be far happier for
knowing that his great wealth has gone
to help THOUSAND poor children to hon
est and beautiful lives. We hope this
love deed will be a living example to the
rich in other States. -Lyceuna Banner.
