Hon. J. Sella Martin delivered the third lecture
OF the course In this village last Friday night on
the subject OF Educational Agencies" He said
education did not consist In information merely.
The object OF education Is To develop those
faculties which men possess. Every true educa-
tion should have nn aim. The question should
he early Asked "What shall We do In life?" And
we must dlifuse this ain anl excite higher aims
IN others. Competition Is the life OF society.
The exercise OF influence over others gives us
strength. All should seek high sphere In life.
II We carry with US self.respeGt we will Impress
Others, and possess the frat elements OF success.
The speaker developed the leading agencies OF
education, referring to tho power OF tho school,
the Church, the newspaper, &c. lie spoke OF
the great principles which undef1e all business f;
those OF economy, truthfuness, right, honor, &c.
Education Is the expansion OF business. Ths
c0lOTed race had deposited Ia their savings banks
over NIFTY millions since the war. They are edu-
eating their children, and those who have ac-
CURED the comforts OF a home are more indie
pendent and walk with nrmer step than those
who are In poverty.
Ills lecture throughout was practical and 10
the point, and was listened to for over an hour
with marked attention.
Upon motion OF Thomas Wells q vote OF
thanks was rendered the speaker.

Of God and the dispensers Of his eraces. Let us,
therefore, hasten TO partake OF the bounteons
rraces which He proposes 10 give US during this
mission.
The Prophet Rzechiel had q vision Of vast
plain that was full Of dry bones, and God sent
his spirit into them, and they came together,
each one to its Joint; and they were invested
with slnews aud nesh and skin and the spirit,
from the fodr winds, blew upon them, and they
stood upon their feet, anlmeted, living beings.
Now, what are those persona In this great me-
tropos who have given themselves up to all
manner OF wlckeiness; what are they but mere
dry bones? They imagine lhat they live, but
they are really dead before God being deprived
OF the life-glying spirit OF Christ. And as God
brought his prophet to teach the Israelites, so
he brings this mission that the people may be
Instructed In their Christian duties, aud thus be
reconcled u, God In order to secure happy
life here and glorious Immortality hereafter.

II had been shown that Rome might become the
capital without encroachinG upon the indepen-
dence Of the Pope or the exercise of his spiritual
functions and relations TO the Catholic world
We will respect Ills religious sentiments and
liberty, but will not permit attacks upon the na-
ton and It's institutions. Our relations with all
foreign powers are friendly.
Testimonials OF affection OF the Emperors and
peoples OF Austria and Germany have been ad-

full place among nations. Since the causes Of
war between Austria and Italy have disappeared
there remains nothing but confidence OF mutual
interests aud sure friendship, In harmony with

We wish to live IN harmony with all nations, but
We will firmly gaard the rights and dignity Of
our own. ....
