Every Day.



. trihing tasks often done,
Yet ever to be done anew
o cares which come with every sun
Morn after morn, the long year through!
We sink beneath ther paltry sway,
The irksome calls of every day.
The restless sense of wasted power,
The tiresome round of little things,
Are hard to bear, as hour by hour
Its tedious iteration brings
Who shall evade, or who delay,
The small demands of every day.
The boulder in the torrents course
BY tide and tempest lashed in vain,
Obeys the wave-whirled pebbles force,
And yields its substance grain by grain;
So crumble strongest lives away
Beneath the wear Of every day.
We rise to meet a heavy blow
Our souls a sudden bravery fills
But we endure not always 30
The drop by drop of little ills
We still deplore and sill obey
The hard behests of every day.
The heart which holdly faces death
Upon the battle field. and dares
Cannon and bayonets, fNints beneath
The needlc-points Of frets and cares;
The stoutest spirits they dismay-
The tiny stings of every day,
And even saints of holey fame,
Whose souls by faith have ovcrc )me,
Who wore amid the cruel flame
The molten crown of martyrlom
Bore not without complaint alway
The pretty pains of every day
All, more than martyrs aureole.
And more than horo's heart of fire.
We need the humble strength of soul
Which daily tolls and ills require
Sweet patience grant us, if you may
An added grace for~cyery day!

BE Honest Children.

suppose some of the little boys
who read this will say, when they
look at the title of the piece. "Thats
casey enough; | am honest; never took
anything that did not belong to me in
my life" Well, that is right but
there is more in being truly honest,
perhaps than you think. | will tell
you story, and then you will under
stand me.
In country school--the school of
which am teacher-a large class was
standing to spell In the lesson there
was very "hard word" as the boys
say. But put the word to the schol-
ar at the head, and he missed it. /
passed it to the next, and the next,
and so on through the class, till it
came to the last scholar the smallest
of the class, and he spelled it right, at
least | understood HIN so, and he
went to the head, above seventeen
boys and girls all older than himself
| then turned and wrote the word
on the blackboard, so that they might
all see how it was spelled, and learn it
better. But no sooner had | written
it than the little boy at the head cried
out, "Oh, | didn't say so, Miss W!
| said { instead of l." and he went
back to the foot, Of his own accord,
quicker than he had gone to the head.
Was he not an honest boy? | should
have always thought he spelled it
right, if he had not told me; but he
was too honest to take any credit that
did not belong to him.
Let me tell you another story with
little lesson. One Summer day
school was out at play. There were
a great many children, and the boys,
some of them, had balls to play with,
the boys had not much playground
around the school-house there was
only small yard, and all around were
high brick houses. One of the little
boys threw his ball, and it went
straight through window, breaking
the glass, and the pieces came rattling
down on the bricks. There were so
many children playing that nobody
knew who broke the window except
the boy who did it. He did not tell
any one, but he was very sorry. Dir
ectly the bell rang and all went in.
The children had not much more than
taken their seats, and was still, when
the door was opened, and lady came
in with Eddies ball in her hand. She
lived in the house where the window
was broken. She was very angry, and
scolded so loud and fast that the teach
er could not say anything. When at
last she stopped, and the teacher told
her that she would enquire about it,
Just then Eddie raised up his hand;
the teacher gave him leave to speak,
and he rose from his seat and said dis
tnctly. 81 broke the window acciden.
tally, and | am very sorry; but this af-
ternoon | will bring the money to pay
for it," Was not that an honest boy?

i want to tell you secret. The
way to make yourself pleasant to 9th
ers, is to show them attention. The
whole world is like the miller at Mans
field, "who cared for nobody,-no, not
he,-because nobody cared for him"
And the whole world would serve you
so, if you gave the cause. Let every
one see that you do care for them, by
showing them what Sterne so happily
called the small courtesies, in which
there is no parade, whose voice is too
still to tease, and which manifest them
selves by tender and affectionate looks
and little acts of attention, giving the
preference in every little employment,
at the table, in the field, walking, sit
ting and standing William Writ.

The Effects OF Ignorance.

The bureau of education OF Washington Is
about to enlarge its field OF inquiry, and has
lust Issued two circulars, addressed respect
Iyely to keepers OF almshouses and prisons IN
all parts of the United States, soliciting In
formation In regard to the causes OF pauper-
ism and crime. The inquiries In regard to
convlcts cover the following points: Their
nativity, age when convicted, social relations
and habits and condition OF parents. The
iuuuirles under the head of ''soclal relations
are classified as follows: Married or single,
separated from husband or wife, divorced,
orphans or half orphans. Under the head OF
s'educatlon," the inquiries are classified: Read
and write; read only; no education; element
ary education; collegiate and professional.
Particular stress is laid in the circular upon
the necessity of obtaining full Information as
to the educational condition and previous
social standing OF the criminals and paupers,
and the importance of arriving at correct
results Is emphatlcally urged, This in7est!ga-
tion should be aided by all persons interested
in education, since it will undoubtedly prove
that, il the majority OF cases, ignorance Is the
great cause Of poverty, degradation and crime.

The Old North State.

All eyes are turned just now to North
Carolina. The election which Is to taRe
place in that State on the 1st OF August con-
eentrates attention as the first Of the series
Of strategcal battles which are to wind up
with the general engagement for the fresl-
dency in November. Both parties are as
usual, sanguine of victory, and each is work.
inc for that result with unwonted enthusi-
asm, owing to it's peculiar bearing upon the
Presidential election. In 1867, when North
Carolina voted On convention or no conVen-
tion one hundred and seventy-four thousand
voters were registered, Of whom seventy-one
thousand were blacks. The vote polled was
about one hundred and thirty thousand, OF
which, in round numbers, sixty thousand
were cast by negroes, and the majority for
the convention, or on the Republican side'
was forty-fve thousand. 10 1868 one hun ll
dred and ninety;six thousand voters were
registered, of whom seventy-nine thousand
were blacks, and poll Of one hundred and
sixty.six thousand votes gave eighteen thou
sand six hundred majority for Holden, the
Republican Governor, and nineteen thousand
majority for the Republican constitution ln
1870 the Democrats elected their candidate
for attorney. general by little over four
thousand majority, but last year the State
sgaiR gavea Republican majority OF over
nine thousand, out of total vote OF ohe
hundred and eighty-fve thousand. Now,
with the lesson Of the victory OF l87o and
the defeat of 1871 before them, and the in.
ifluence OF the infusion Of the liberal princi-
iple in the campaign, the Democrats have
high hopes Of, another and more signal tri-
:umph, while the Republicans, with all the
machinery OF Office at their back, and the
confidence which frequent success always
gives, profess to be equally sanguine OF win
ming the day. -.

declared that he will mobilize the whole
"sarmy,' and the war minister, who was
.spresent, said, 4 have heard 1t, and will at
sonce give the necessary orders The work
sswas now beyond recall and what, followed
.syou all know. Germany is pelcefal ma
stion. We have nearly perfect military
sssystem, but it is for defence and not for
"aggression, and is rendered necessary BY
sour geographical position" The CONVEX
sation touched Favres mission, French
traits, and q variety of other topics. Gene
raj Hazen was impressed by the ability and
directness OF the Chancellor. and says he
looks ten years older than he is usually rep
resented. After examining the field at Sc
dan, our author went to Versailles and saw
King William, wonderfully vigorous for his
age, and careful about his health and dress.
The investment OF Paris consisted OF q
zone of occupation five miles deep, and
about a mile outside of the investing forts,
the troops being concentrated at several
points. The French, on retiring into the
city, are censured for having done oil they
should have omitted, and omitted all they
should have DONE While staying at the
German headquarters, General Hazen noted
the equipment of the men carefully anu
piyes minute and interesting account OF
their food and other allowances as well as OF
their transportation and ambulance system.
| Referring to the artillery OF both sides, ne
thinks that the Americans have much TO
learn, and that the application of the breech-
LOADING mechanism to steel guns for held
purposes and rifing for heavy guns are
n,ainlv necessary. He says that the Ger
man army that assailed France was l, l1s, 43s
strong, and gives its composition and very
full description Of the military system as It
has beeu since Frederick the Great and is
now. This is followed by similarly minute
account of the French army, General Tro-
chus criticism and detailed comparison Of
the United States army system with those OF
these two countries. After criticisi2g freely
and at length the chief deficiencies in this
country, General Hazen explains the Prus-
sian system of military education, in which
the object is mental discipline rather than
the accumulation of facts, and compares it
| with the plan OF education in vogue in
France His conclusions, in brief, are that
the Prussian system is mathematical, that OF
France literary; theone thorough, the other
partial; one presupposing fair rudimentary
education, the other ignorance. He takes
occasion to express his high opinion OF West
Point, and declares that the regular United
States army, at the outbreak OF the Contede-
rate war, was oficered by better technical
soldiers than any in the world.
The book will, Of course, possess most
interest for military men; but the narrative
is 80 stirring and the style 30 natural and
pleasant that it will be found agreeable and
instructive reading for everybody. 1t may
be obtained at Fogartie's, King street.
