and the Black Sea and the Indies, and noth-
Ing about their own State of Maine, or the
United States, OF the workings of the Fed
eral Government. Our public schools
ought to be so good that a teacher who
opened ,rivate school on the same street
would starve Tor want of patronage. Aud
the meanest thing in the world j" to take q
teacher because they are good for that and
nothin else, or to pinch good teachers IN
their wages.
1t is the duty of the State to see that
every child is educated and see that parents
send their children to school. Compulsory
education ought not to give a just person
offence. The law gives no annoyance to
the man who always keeps in advance of
it. Self-interest might demand education,
but it could not be depended upon. Many
foreigners come here desiring education for
their children; others, who ought to be
equally interested, come with far different
motives. They are useless and dangerous
class without intelligence. We have 5,000,-
900 men in the country who cannot make
anything, and these all require education.
1t is the poorer class especially that require
education.
If ANYBODY can afford to be fool it is
rich mans son; if anybody cannot afford
it, it is the poor mans son. No man on
earth has right to imbrute his children.
We are just now entering upon an era
when government stands upon universal
suffrage. Universal suffrage is universal,
and as sure as the sun will shine to-mor-
row, just SO sure will women have
suffrage, not for some time, perhaps, but
the time is sure to come when there will
be no distinction of sexes in suffrage. And
universal suffrage is the law of this nation
from this time henceforth. You must put
the ballot box behind the school-house.
The United States is bound in honor and
morality to see that every black child in the
South shall go through the common schools.
The speaker hailed with pleasure the COM
ing of emigrants from all countries, for they
will help to swell the population. and will
make good citizens. He hailed the coming
of the Chinese even, for they came
with their hands full of tools. They
are an industrious, intelligent and frugal
people. He did not fear their religion. If
their Joss which they worshipped was more
powerful than our Jehovah he ought to
reign. But he was not afraid to pit the
Christian religion against any religion in
the known world.
Mr.. Beecher closed with an earnest and
eloquent appeal for the universal education
of the masses.

Less Labor and More Happiness.

We favor a system that shall con-
tribute most to the happiness of the
individual and the class. If the. one
hour saved from labor be devoted
to intellectual improvement, it is
well. If the laborer thus released
applies his leisure hour to his own
domestic business, to his garden or
his shop, to his needed rest or the
education of his children, to the
pleasant interchange of ideas and
goodwill between neighbors, to al
most anything except dissipation,
idleness and debauchery-it will
prove a blessing, taking him out of
the enforced treadmill of grinding
toll, and giving him status in the
world above that of the mere toiling
serf.
One hour a day saved from slave
ish toll, if rightly employed and i'm
proved, can be the means of Great
ing a new class of men-new in
their capacities for enjoyment, as
for toll igself. The devotion of one
hour day to self-education, to men
tai development, can do what has SO
often been done before; transform
mere drudges into thinking, inteli-
gent beings, with their capacities
for healthful enjoyment increased in
proportion to the cultivation of their
intellects. But this will not be the
result to the man who covets the one
hour saved from toll in order that
he may have so much more time to
devote to the shufiing of cards or
the shaking of dice at the corner
grocery.
It is a common mistake made.
that release from the necessity of la.
Dor ensures happiness. Employ
ment is the law of all really intelli-
gent, certainly all really progressive,
nations and individuals Others
may exist, but they do not live in
the true sense of the word. We
must work with the mind if not with
the hands. The invisible wheels aud
springs Of the brain must keep NOV
ing. Thought will be evolved, and
in its proper direction is the correct
cue to happiness. Let the laborer
get his release from the hitherto eX-
| ira hour or two of enforced toll, and
then devote it sensibly to better pur.
poses than dissipation, or idleness
which leads to dissipation if not tc
vagabondage and crime.
