Obituary.

MARTHA JANE FURGAsoN, maiden
name, Armstrong, wife of James A. Fur
gason, departed this life, June the 4tb,
1871.
She was born August the 18th 1851,
in the county of Bradley, and State of
Tennessee. Her mother died when she
was one month DID,. She was raised by
her connection. At the age of 10 years,
two months and twenty-five days she was
united in the holy bonds of wedlock to
Mr.. James A. Furgason, with whom she
lived in sweet union seven months and
n day, when God, in His wisdom seen
fit to take her from the tolls and cares of
this life and give her a home in Heaven.
In February last, at a protracted meeting
conducted by Rev. Thomas Walker. and
others, Martha Jane embraced religion
and was baptized and received into the
Cumberland Presbyterian Church by Rev.
A. G.. Register, in which she lived an
exemplary life, died a triumphant death,
recei we'd the reward of the righteous and
is now at rest. She retained a clear
mind until her expiring breath, babe her
husband and friends fare well, with a re-
quest to meet her in Heaven.
Aged 10 years, 8 months and % days.
Why one SO young, so noble, should be
torn from the embrace of her husband and
friends, and consigned to the dust, is one
of those mysteries of Providence, which
our present limited faculties are unable
to grasp.
1t is our consolation to know that the
universe is under the government of that
wise and good Being, who knows what is
best. and who does not willingly afhict
the children of men. After all, religion is
the one thing needful.
swell. thou art gone and I am left,
But oh, how cold and dark to me,
This world ofevery charm bereft.
Where all was beautiful with thee.
Though i have seen thy form depart
Forever from my saddened eye,
hold thee in my Utmost heart
There, there, at least thou can'st not
die, J. A. Pc

Our Prospects.

We are studying Daniel Webster's ~
Unabridged Dictionary, as recommended
by the editor of the Patriot, with all pos
sible diligence. trimming the midnight
lamp etc., and are vain enough to think
that We will be tolerably proficient .in
the rules ~ofgralnmar," at least to write
an article a 'stick" long without an hum
dred errors. We have ordered Brick
Pomeroy on Sense and hope to get a
little of the common article from that
source. Where We shall obtain the Nrules of
common decency" in any sort of a tangi-
know, save as exemplifed by the erudite
modern Chesterfield of the Patriot.-
From the analogy of oil and water fusion.
VIC, are readily able to comprehend the
''cohcrency'' between the Fourth of July
and the Heather Chinec," for the obser-
vance of this dayis always made up of ways
that are dark and tricks that are vain,"
which makes the day peculiar"
We will acknowledge our ignorance in
saying that whilst we have heard of thous-
ands of names, that innocent Names
were never added to the list, until last
week. We Llinoly suppose they are some
kind of animals that have teen taken to
Washington recently to testify in regard
to some New Departures of the Ku Klux.
1t must be correct-another point of pro-
gress. We also learn from the lnfallible news
paper model that "~colors CT an incendiary
nature are highly partisan" This is a
decided improvement on Noah's rain -bow,
which We did not expect. So it may be
seen bat we are progressing by sure de-
grees, and when we have memorized Dan
iel Webster's Spelling Book. which we
have just purchased, we'll be all hunkey.

The Independent Readers.

By j. MADISON WATSON "A. L..
BARNES & Co, Publishers, Chicago:
We have examined the entire series of
The Independent Readers" consisting
of five numbers. They are well bound,
printed on good paper, and are profusely
illustrated. The mechanical execution is
in every respect worthy the e~nterprising
publishers. The type, especially, sin the
lower numbers, is exceedingly plain, a
real delight to the eye. 1t is not, howev-
er, the external appearance. but the sub
stance and utility most concern us. Here,
too, every thing has been done, that care
and experience could do, to render them
what they claim to DC, superior to all 9th
er works on the same subject. We COM
mend them to our teachers and educators.

Shooting Affair.

Last Saturday evening, two colored
men, named Edmond Spurgeon and Jas.
Hale, had a difficulty. near Carrville.-
1t seems that one had confided secrets to
the other who had acted faithlcssly and
they were quarcling at the time. Spur
gcor was sitting on the fence aud Hale
standing on the ground, when high words
were passing, Sturgeon jumped from his
seat, and Hale shot him, the ball entering
the left side and lodging it is thought, in
the intestines- Sturgeon was living at
last accounts. Hale fed before he could
be arrested and after hiding a short time
came in and gave himself up to the au-
thorities. He was lodged in Jail at this
place, the next day, to await trial at the
coming term of the Circuit Court.

Location Of ~schoel-Houses.

Mayhem on Universal Education.
SIZE AND CoNsTRUcTIoN.-In treat
ing upon the philosophy of respiration at
the 92d page of this word, it was stated
that, exclusive of entry and closets, where
they are furnished with these ~appendagcs.
schooi-houses are not usually larger than
t~wnety-four feet on the ground, and seven
feet in hight. The average attendance in
houses of these dimensions was estimated
at forty-fve scholars in the winter. It
was also stated that the medium quantity
of air that enters the lungs at each inspira-
ton is thirty-six cubic inches, and that
respiration is repeated once in three seconds,
or twenty times a minute. Now, to say
nothing of the inconvenience which so
many persons must experience in occupy
ing a house of SO narrow dimensions, and
making no allowance for the space taken
up by desks, furniture. and the scholars
themselves, a simple arithmetical compu-
tation will show any one that such a room
will not contain a sufficient amount of air
for the support of life three hours. But
L will here simply refer the reader to the
fourth chapter of this work, and will not
repeat what was there said.
In determining the size of school-houses,
due regard should be had to several par
ticulars. There should be a separatr entry
or lobby for each sex. which Mr.. Barnard,
In his School Architecture, very justly
says should be furnished with a scraper,
mat, hooks or shelres-both are needed
sink, basin, and towels. A separate entry
thus furnished will prevent much confu-
sion, rudeness, and improperly, and pro-
mote the health, refinement, and orderly
habits of the children.
The principal room of the school-house,
and each such room where there are sever
al departments, should be large enough to
allow each occupant a suitable quantitr of
pure air, which should be at least twice
the common amount, or not less than one
hundred and Fifty cubic feet. There
should also be one or more roomsf for reci-
tation, apparatus, library, etc., according
to the size of the school and the number of
scholars to be accommodated.
Every schoolroom should be so con-
tructed that each scholar may pass to and
from his seat without disturbing or in the
least incommoding any other one. A
house thus arranged will enable the teacher
to pass at all times to any part of the
room. and to approach each scholar in his
seat whenever it may be desirable to do so
for purposes of instruction or otherwise.
Such an arrangement is of the utmost i'm
portance and without the fnlfilment is of
this condition, no teacher can most advan-
~tageously superintend the affairs of a whole
school, and especially of a large one.
In determining the details of construc-
tion and arrangement for a school-house,
due regard must be had to the varying
circumstances of country and city, as we'll
as to the number of scholars that may be
expected in attendance, the number OF
teachers to be employed, and the different
grades of schools that may be established
in a community.

OUR YOUNG e

One of our intelligent citizens remark
ed the other day that our young men dc
not read. Observation teaches us that
there is much truth in the remark. This
does not speak we'll of that class in the
community from which We are to expect
% much in the future. Nothing can
supply this neglect, on the part of young
men. 8aGEt
A love of good books is one Of the
greatest p~reservatives from vice as well as
the most pleasant and profitable way of
spending our leisure hours. IF a young
man does not read. he is cut off from the
most fruitful source of gaining useful in
formation. Books are cheap and plenty.
In ancient times, it was difficult to pro-
cure them. Then there was some excuse
for not reading. but now when they are
scattered around us as thick as autummal
leaves, there can be no excuse given for
the remarkable neglect of reading among
our young men. 1t is questionable
whether the great multiplicity ofbooks of
the present day does not tend to destroy
that love of reading which is natural to
almost every young mind.
Our town is not able to have a Read
ing Room, a Debating Clubs or any organi-
cation which has for it's object the dis emf
nation of useful knowledge. This is an
evidence of the neglect of reading. Those
who do read seeing the general apathy of
our citizens, are not encouraged to read
as carefully or as extensively as they
would otherwise do, were they in a read
ing community. The enterprise of young
men has made the present age one of the
most remarkable in the history of the
world. Is there nothing to be achieved
by the young men of to-day? History is
full of inspiration for the young, but the
trouble is, they do not recall it.

Lives of great men all remand us,

A person is at liberty to use logic upon
himself. If standard of future hopes be
not high enough, if mind be sluggish, if
disposition be indolent or Respondent, or
satisfied with small things, then u quickly,
there is danger of failure. Read the lives
of the good and the great, and thus stir
up violently the soul self, until there is a
glow of hope. Bring the feelings and
emotions Illus into the best society, and
there will be no occasion to complain of
apathy. Educate. The great Washington
pursued geometry, tr%igonometry, and sur
veying, with resolution. From 1G to 10
he was a public surveyor; John Adams
graduated at Harvard, and became a
school-teacher, and afterward a President /;
Jefferson pursued Greek Latin and French,

roe was several terms in his college course,

The signers of the Declaration of hide
pendenee were great men. They were ff-
ty-six in number. John Hancock, the
President of the Convention, was a regular
graduate; twenty of the number were
graduates; thirty were literally educated,
many of them with the equivalent of a
classical course. Only four were poorly
educated. But of that four were Roger
Sherman and Robert Morris, who, by in
defatigable industry, acquired an acquain-
lance with those parts of education essen
tial, and their master minds arose above
the deficiencies of their education. The
thirty-two were so in want of final gradual
ton by the meagerness of colleges. The
Southern Colonies had not one. And all
the Colonies possessed no moro than four
colleges. The lack of roads and transport
tation made it difficult to go fer abroad.
Their attainments denote a mighty strug
gle to become great, amid even difficulties.
Moses was better prepared for. his mighty
work, because he was cultured in all the
wisdom of Egypt. and Paul was more
potent in the use. of his logic among the
islands and peninsulas of the Mediterran-
can, because he was brought up at the
feet of Gamaliel.
