Us BoyS,

Billy Ross, temperance lecturer at
Rushville, Illinois, was preaching to the
young on his favorite theme. He said:
"Now, boys, when ask you question
you must not be afraid to speak right out
and answer me. When you look around
aud see all these fine houses, farms and
cattle, do you ever think who owns them
now? Your fathers own them, do they
not?'
"Yes, sir" shouted hundred voices.
"wsll. where will your fathers be
twenty years from now?'
"Dead," shouted the boys.
"rhats right. And who will own all
this property thcn?"
"Us boys shouted the urchins.
"Rigbt. Now tell me, did you ever
in going along the streets notice the
drunkards loungiug around the saloon
door, waiting for somebody to treat
them?"
"Yes, sir, lots Of them y

from uow?'

"And who will be the drankard's
thenF' -
us boys.'
Billy was thundsrstruck for moment,
but recovering himself, he tried to tell
pc boys how to escape such fate.

1ieSsrs Edit0rs-With your consent |
propose to review an article which appear
ed short time since in your paper, writ,
ten by your correspondent, "E.," Of Edcus
Ridge. Without attempting to produce a
single argument in favor of these schools,
be proceeds to accuse us Of saying what we
did not say, viz. That Tennessee is impcv-
erished and disgraOed. Our language JUS
tifes no suoh assertion. 1t seems that Mr..
L. is a mere tyro in English Grammar,
who has yOt to learn that there is differ
encO between the idea conveyed by the
present ipfnitive and that by the past in
dicatiUe. lie uses our language, thus dis
torted. as one of the premises ofa syllogism
by which be aims to prove that our posi-
tion in regard to system of free schools
is absurd. This is another specimen Of his
curious logic. He certainly has the art of
manufacturing premises to suit the conclu'
sion at which he wishes to arrive. Let US
look at bis educational policy. lie says {:
~ henever we get demagogues, bribers
and Yuacks from our legislative halls and
fllthem with meu ofprinciple, whenever
we can save the money that is wasted annu>
ally for liquor and tobacco, whenever our
State becomes again solvent, then 1t will
be that Tennessee can educate her children
and we may dispense with foreign aid .
This is putting the ''cart before the horse"
Tennessee has for many years been purAu'
ing this course and has all the while been'
developing downward, and is to-day, &C.
cording to statistics, deeper in the mire
of ignorance than ever before. In our es'
timation, the education Of youth is a
matter Of primary Importance and should
not be deferred for the accomplishment OF
any measure whatever. Let th, rising gen.
Grafton be taught to read and think aud
act for themselves, and it will not be a
difficult matter to defeat demagogues and
fill our legislative halls with men who will
be Our servants and not our masters. MIR.
4. asks if it is not laudible to use our
share of the Peabody funds. If my
friend proposes to do me favor which |
am able to do for myself, | feel in honor
bound to thank him for his kindness and
decline the offer. If Tennessee is really
insolyent, as Mr.. E., alleges; if she is
financially wrecked without the hope OF
possibility of recovery, then it would be
right and proper to accept the benefaction
of strangers. Until it is shown that
Tennessee is in such predicament, in our
opinion, for reasons already given, it is
inexpedicnt for our State to depend, in
any degree, upon the bounty of others for
the intellectual aliment so essential to
the welfare of her youth, and her own
future prosperity. We have waited long
enough for "mors convenient season"
Let US knock out the props and be iu-
dependent. X.
