versions be suppressed. Fraud and public
thefts must be ferreted out if it disgrace
heads of departments, or public officials
A higher valuation must be set on personal
and domestic life and happiness, though
hotels be conducted without bars, and shut
tiers are closed over all the painted windows
of the land. Life must lie regarded as pro-
ceeding from God, and flowing to God.
The great moral precepts of the gospel, en-
forced by the church of Christ, must be
permitted to "grow out of and rest upon
vital and fundamental acts of faith, truths
into which at each challenge to act, they
strike their roots, truths from which i'll
all genuine Christian souls they draw, day
by day, aud, hour by hou", their vitality"
God is waiting for us to seek after and
Ind Him. He is nigh every one of u.s.
pouring out the bounties of a fruitful sea-
son into our laps, giving US "corn, and
wine and oil, making peace in our Dor
ders, and sending prosperity upon our I'M
dertakings. He is waiting, by melting the
churches to renewed activity, while thous-
ands, aye, millions look daily to Him, to
shake the nation with revival glory.
He is waiting, with warnings that the
time Is short; and to-day He bids us to
make a solemn pause, in the midst of our
reioicings, and drop tear over the nation's
dead, who, while we are here assembled,
lies cold and inanimate in the heart of the
Nations Capitol. He was a man to whom
we may proudly look as the fairest type of
our national character. Sprung from a
parentage that was without ancestral hon
ors, and thrust out, at the delicate and
tender age of ten years, upon the world,
to get his own living, he passed an appren-
ticeship of eleven years, in the noble toll
of farmer, and entered upon the manhood
state with eighty four dollars, the reward
of his faithful servitude, a thirst for knowl-
edge, and stock Of historical and biegraph-
ical information which had been gathered,
from the 700 volumes he had read, by night,
under the glare of the dismal burning of
pine knots. From the life of farmer, he
went to Natick, and honored the calling
vi d Shoetliahel, ny learning ana praCtlClnS
that trade. until called into public life:
life that he adorned by most honest, sim
cere, and patriotic services. Industrious,
true, compa ssionate, and good, he entered,
rs few men are able TO do, into the very
heart of the wants of the people, and leaves
the imperishable record of a public life un-
sullied in days of official corruption, and
unstained by ambitions it were wrong to
crafty. Thou friend of the poor. from
thy exalted station as Vice President of
this nation, God has taken thee to put on
brighter robe, and wear an imperishable
crown.
And here we will rest our thoughts. On
this bright day, with the mingled feelings
that press upon us, we bow our heads in
lowly alteration, while the voice of the Mas
ter is ringing, Behold l come quickly"
Amen.

Catholics would have some logical
ground for separate schools Now they
are without any rational excuse for the
stand they are making-any excuse, at
all events, which could not be made
with equal propriety by all the differ

THE SCHOOL QUESTION

THE SCHOOL QUESTION.
From the Christ ian Alliance.
The Roman Catholics in many parts
OF the land are agitating the school. ques
tion. Universal knowledge does not
please them. They are great lovers of
special knowledge, knowledge of Catho
lie history, Catholic literature, Catholic
doctrine. They wish their part of the
school tax TO be turned over to Catho
lie guardians thrt it may be exhausted
III filing young heads with the Catholic
part Of the worlds facts and fancies.
That any state can become so corrupt
as q aid thus sectariau educatiou is
hardly credible. The state deals IN
universal facts, such as arithmetic, gram.
mar, reading, writing, geography, aud
so 81. and can no more levy tax for
teaching church ideas than it can levy
a tax TO hold church festivals, or foot
the bills of a sewing society. The spe
cial work of churches must be done by
the churches, for the state does not deal
with men as Presbyterians, or Unitari
ans, or Catholics, but as human beings,
and hence in its school lt teaches uni
ve-sal ideas If the Catholics do not
like to have their children read the
worlds history, they should have been
more careful about the kind Of facts
they put into those books Ii the his
tory of the infallible popes is not a
kind Of reading that promote Roman
ism, the United States cannot help that
The article in the Christian Union Il.
bout the burning of Servetus by John
Calvin is not fitted to kindle any new
zeal over Presbyterian but the gov
erument can not make arrangement by
which school children may be kept in
ignorance of that bad chapter. All
the state can do is to educate its youth
40 that they can read and write, aud
can thus escape the manipulatlons OF
bad men, and become not only voting
beings but thinking beings If in get
ting such an education the youth should
find out what hard set their Catholic
and Protestants ancestors were, and
what follies they were guilty of in the
name of God, the blame should fall far
back on those who were guilty of the
follies and crimes.
1t is possible that common school ed
ucation does not do the most for the
churches. Professor Patton confesscs
the public education to be an enemy
of true religion, in that it breaks up
the Calvanistic schools and places the
truths of the world above the truths of
Christianity. But the state is not at
tempting to make Christians, bnt good
citizens, and hence the church must add
is peculiar instruction to that Of the
public school

GOOD sPtLLEEs ARE FOOLS.

Al article IN the Advance 10 show that
the man who has fully mastered the or
typography of the Enlish language can't
be good for anything else. The follow
ing is sample extract Of this Beech
erlsm
"a man who spells within uniform ac,
curacy is presump:ively fool and must
prove the contrary by exhibiting now
and then CLEAN of intelligence.
"Of two letters equally stupid and
meaningless, one ill.spelled aud the other
well spelled, we insist that the ill.spelled
letter indicates the more estimable wri.
ter because in his case we have rich
virgin soil aud ignorance to work upon.
In the other we have soil that has been
baked into sterile hardpan by the wretch
ed conceit of correct Spelling.
I'VE deplore the useless expenditure
Of time devoted to photography in our
public schools The body is more than
raiment, said our Master Fact and
truth are worth more than correct spell
Ing. The few people who come into life
highly endowed, as indicated above,
with faculties that make photography
inevitable, are sufficient to furninh our
printing Offices with proof renders. Our
plea is that we do not condemn an entire
race to strive after righteousness quite
unattainabic, aud worthless when one
gets it. Any way Of spelling word,

the reader, is satisfactory Anything
more than this is wretched device Of
fashion and leads to laborious vanity.
