Posting the Books.

There is good authority for recording,
as fact, that several members Of the late
house of representatives, declined to
take the back pay grab of $500. Their
names are.
HOAR, of Massachusetts.
ROBERTS, of New York.
MERRICK, of Maryland.
UPSON and MONROE, of Ohio.
Next time We have occasion 20 print
these names we shall ask our foreman
to put them in golden letters. We start
them in common capitals. They will
be growing men, and if they persevere
the people will erect, by contribution, a
towering monument to their memories.
When more names of members are
ascertained, who are clean in this mat
ter, they will be added to the roll

1t is popularity supposed that tempcra-
ture of "a degrees below zero will kill the
germ Of corn. This is not So Corn was ex-
posed to forty-two degrees below zero last
winter, and every kernel grew. The trouble
generally comes in autumn. The farmer de-
lays husking his corn till a cold rain comes
on, ending with snow storm and freeze
The corn not yet thoroughly cured in the
shock, is first saturated by the rain and then
frozen and the germ is killed. Corn husked
and thoroughly cured before cold weather
comes on may be carried to the North Pole,
and brought back and planted, and it will
grow.

labor, though they are really necessary to
each other and the progress Of mankind, tend
TO take antagOnistic positions, aud unless
they possess equality Of knowledge as regards
their rights and the means Of protecting
them, one will unfairly and injuriously DOM
mate over the other The true interests of
the country, and Of human progress, require
that neither should have the power unjustly
to injure the other.
To reach this necessary end we must have
a better education Of the industrial class.
Thoughtful men long ago saw this, and be-
nevolent men have tried to promote il. But
it is eminently true in this case that
'who would be free, themselves must strike the blow
1t is hard to arouse the people to the alb
solute necessity Of thorough popular sduca-
ton, as the safeguard Of their liberties.
Most of the farmers Of New England think
the meagre learning Of our old-time district
school, devised to teach us just enough to
help us make living and understand the
law as laid down from the pulpit on Sunday,
is sufficient for their children. In truth il Is
but mighty little better than nothing. Yet
SO few Of our farming youth get anything
more in the way of learning, that those who
do are absorbed at once into the ruling class,
leaving the working people none the better.
But when every boy aud girl no matter
how poor, can have all the knowledge they
are mentally able to take, labor will be en-
lIghtened, and the laborer become the mas
ter of his fate. The fearful aggression of
capital upon labor exempli6ed in the SOUTH
ern slave system reused us to spend fabu-
lous sums Of money to subdue and extirpate
the evil. If our people could be induced to
spend ten per cent. on the amount paid as
the cost of that necessary victory upon the
Improvement Of our school system, the aver
age wealth in the hands of the working peo-
pie would be doubled in twenty years.
Before we shall do this we must give up
the notion that poor education is good
enough for poor man, aud that academies
and colleges are only for the laboring mans
"botters.' An American freeman has no
"betters," unless he willingly submits to the
betters and gamblers who are now ruling the
republic. We must spend more money for
popular education. We are indeed being
educated by the pressure of circumstances,
and the teachings of free press, but this
education all tends to stronger conviction
that liberty is based upon enlightenment,
and that we must secure firm and broad
foundation for it in the best possible educa.
ton for every citizen.
Graded free schools must take the place
Of the old academies, and the state must pro-
vide for all who seek it free collegiate
training of a practical character, such as
shall fit each one, according to his natural
bent, for the highest usefulness as a citizen
This is already being done in number Of
the western states, and the facilities for Q
complete education which are thus afforded
will become daily stronger temptation fol
emigration, and q source Of preponderatinl
power to that section Of the republic, unless
we in New England arouse more fully to the
necessities of the hour.
