does the possession Of q few dollars !;
but such is not the case with the
truly educated. They know that they
acquired what knowledge they pos
scss as the result Of hard work, close
application, untiring industry that
in their natural condition Of mind
they were as ignorant as others that
what information they possess only
serves to show them how little, COM
paratively, they actually have gained
and gathered from the wide field Of
education.
The more deeply any individual
is plunged in the slough Of ignor-
auce and beast'incss the less desire
he has for having his children edu-
Gated. When, therefore, we hear
men talking of the dangers of too
much learning we infer that their
own early instruction was sadly neg
eated. We do not believe, or teach,
the hcresy contained in the following
aaage When ignorance is bliss
It's folly to be wise" No conceivable
circumstance can establish the truth
Of sueh an erroneous proposition
Ignorance can never, under any con-
l'iEion OF things, be q blessing to an
adult moral. Educated men may be
guilty of unlawful acts though when
they 60 depart from the path Of rec
titut'e it is not as consequence, but
it is defiance, Of the light and kuowl-
edge they possess. Tie most beau
tiful woman may have y wart to grow
upon her face and mar the former
;sttractiveness Of hey features !; but
this does not prove that the insight
y CAttiDt.tACG NONili liOl Hive S3ONu
there il she had not been pretty
Nor, when au educated person be-
comes o vronsdoer does it prove
that ii such person had grown up in
ignorance lie would have led viz
tuous life. On the other hand, all
the Prescriptions are i'll favor Of the
opposite theory. There can be no
doubt that, being now a swiualer, he
would have been a murderer if he
he'd all his life wallowcd in the mirc
Of ignorance and vice. No, no we
Go not wish to see any person Or sect
interfere with or injure our existing
means of education. Let vel! enough
alone. Do not permit sectarianism
to disturb the present excellent sys-
tenn of public instruction, with which
the country is blessed, and The Hber-
ties OF the people will be as in1preg-
nable as the rock OF Gibraltar.
