Education with us.

How lamentabIy many white men 10
this county are unable to write flfeis,
names! Village life with its small con
fine Of duties and It's narrow world of
gossip shuts us out from contact with
the rude ignorance that prevails to an
alarming extent
In some parts of this County families
and clans Of men lead lives as savage,
untamed and hcathcn as the Indians of
the far West.
In other parts, witchcraft hourishcs
and the witch doctor phys paying trade
b out of the crcdulity, sup rstition and
Ignorance of the ncighbors.
OF course this is not general. But
the fact of such gross and barbarian
ignorance existing near and around us is
startling.
Education is too generally neglected
School houses are wanting or are 'oscd
Teachers arc out of employment or arc
eking out miserable life upon salary
which is not even courteous thanks for
their labor.
The faults with the people. The
School system is adequate for the cdu
cation of all the INDECENT children of the
County. Compulsion is needed to deal
with the stoIid and inacnsate ignorance
and brutishness that declines to send
the children to school,
Let the School Authorities, let the
pastors, let tho friends OF education sec

boy and girl must go to school sn

But little of interest remains of our story.
Notwithstanding the general outcry against
mothers-in-law, Stanley insisted that Mrs.
Fortescue should make her home with
them, and never had he occasion to regret
ne did SO.
We need not speak of the happiness of
Alice, nor of the pride of her husband,
when she saw with what graceful dignity
she took her place in the circle to which
her marriage with him had introduced her.
To>his dying day Frederick Stanley will
bless the chance that brought about his
acquaintance with the wing girl and the

compelled her to rely on her own exertions
for livelihood, has proved to her the
greatest blessing that could have happened.

fain have sued him for breach Of promise,
He had paid his addresses chiefly by letter,
and in the most tender and poetic strain,
to pretty girl, who, when his affection
grew less, was too prudent and energetic
not to demand golden comfort for her
wounded heart. Her lawyer heard her
case with pleasant anticipations of diima-
ges; but alas when he examined the love
letters of the lawyers clerk, he found his
client was pat by them entirely out Of
court The ingenious young man had in
variably signed himself "Belleve me, my
own dearest, divinest, duckiest Angelina,

prejudice) Tommy" The legal phrase,
which the gentle Angelina didn't under
stand had saved him. n'h s-'e'#
