The Old and the N ew.

The old year has come and gone, and it
has borne on its restless current events of
written history. The heart does not beat,
the brain does not throb on earth, that is ca
pable Of approaching the tremendous range
Of consequences involved in these events.
The past year has been one of peace in
our land. We have not, as in former years,
heard the grating thunder peals of horror
the artillery of deaths disaster no longer
roars and crashes from field to fort; blaze
and ruin follow no longer, the tread of hos
tile armies. .H..
But instead of the din OF battle and the
"clash of arms" we hear orgau-tones Of
praise merry bells ring notes of joy; sweet
voices sing of peace.
The past year has indeed had its long list
Of casualties by land and by sea crime
has held its carnival and stalked over the
nation financial embarrassment has every
where prevailed, resulting indirectly from
our civil war and the unsettled condition of
the currency. We still sail upon a stormy
sea aud near a rock bound coast and we
should not forget that peace as we'll as war
has its perils.
The chief sources of our countrys dan
ger, at the present time, are found in the
corruption and sel6shness that prevail every
where in public and private life. Could our
social vices be removed could integrity and
virtue take the place of fraud and villainy ;
and could the spirit Of self-sacri6Oe and that
kind of patriotism which characterized our
forefathers be found now in all our public
men, we should see more ground for hope
and safety. Many noble and true men have
fallen, and some Of them within the past
year. Many good men survive, but il is hu-
initiating and alarming to see how iniquity
prevails in high places.
The new year limits the century Of our
national existence, and this centennial year
will be full of excitement, and Of special
and great interest to every American citizen
1t will be year of exhibition. The eyes oil
the civilized world are already upon u.s. Ev'
cry nation will come to America TO compare
her own nationality and institutions with Our
own. The merits of republiCanism against
monarchy; Of freedom against oppression
of remunerative free labor against serfdom
are here to be tested. Our system of public
instruction will be compared with the sys
toms of other countries. Our manufactures
our agriculture, our commerce, will come
under the criticism Of jealous eyes. ln .
word, the whole field Of art and science and
industry in this country, and every fea
ture of our nationality that car
give evidence of the good or bad
results Of our peculiar system OF govern
ment, will be scrutinized and compared, Il
our honor or disgrace, as the case may be
The best products of all the countries of the
old world will be on exhibition at Philadel
phia, and there eau be no doubt, from thu
general interest manifested in this centennial

For the VERMONT FARMER
The Bible In Public Schools.

Mr. Beecher says it is not fair to compel
people to pay taxes to support schools where
the New Testament, in which they do not
believe, is read every day to their children.
Let us see if this reasoning is conclusive il
some pay taxes who do not believe 10 his.
tory, grammar or geography, on the same
principle they must be excluded from the
schoolroom; for somebody pays taxes who
does not believe in their teachings. Mr.
Beecher's theory not only excludes the BIZ
BILE but every other book to which like OBJ
jections may be made,-which would destroy
eur common school system. Again, if be-
cause he pays taxes he has right to die
tate what shall not DO used 10 school, he for
the same reason, has q right to say what
shall be used, and il it is unfair to tax men
to support schools where things are taught
which they do not believe, it is just as un.
fair to tax men to support schools where
things cannot be taught which they do be.
lieve.
Hence Mr. Boecher's theory destroys it.
self; it proves too much sAd if applied
would take every law from the statute book
for it is not fair to tax men to support laws
which they do not like or believe in. Prot
estants understand that the testimony Of the
Bible is necessary for the existence aud per
petuity of our free institutions, which arr
endangered to the extent that the great NOR
al truths of the Bible are disregarded, an(
every attempt to destroy the Bible is I
movement to undermine and subvert ou
liberties. And the tenacity with which thu
Catholic power oppose the Bible shows tn
opinion of that power of our government
from which all liberty loving people should
take warning and use those means within
their reach to stay the dark wave and pre-
vent our land from being to the Roma
power what the Eastern World has bee
in other days. S. BoLLEs.
Vermont farmer. [volume] (Newport, Orleans County, Vt.) 1870-1877, 1875-12-31

We think our correspondent "Boles"
might have done better on the Bible ques-
ton. His argument implies a misapprehen-
sion of the point at issue. Mr. Beecher is
not attempting to modify our public school
system to suit the notion Of every citizen as
to what branches his children shall study
while at school, whether " history, grammar
or geography" but he proposes, in his own
way, to disarm the Catholic who claims the
right to teach his religion in the public
school, BOecher does not believe that the
school is the place to teach religion, but
maintains that the Catholic or Jew has as
much right to do so as the protestant, and
hence he would remove the Bible, aud thus
the occasion Of the controversy on that point.
No intelligent protestant believes that Sec
tarianism should be taught in our schools !;
that is exactly what the Catholic maintains,
and what the protestant opposes. The Cath
Ollie goes even further and maintains that be-
cause he cannot teach his own religion in
the public schools, he will, if he can, destroy
the whole system. The strongest argument
in favor of the Bible in our schools is based
upon the necessity of public virtue to the
veal Of the state 1t is maintained that
all virtue has its foundation in the Bible,
and that its principles must be taught to our
children, as necessary part of their edu-
cation to fit them for the duties of citizen
ship. This is true and of great Importance,
Mr. Beecher believes it as firmly as we do.
And the only question between him and our
correspondent is, whether the teaching Of
christian morality can be better accomplished
in the family and sabbath school, and from
the pulpit, or in the school-room also. To
be Of any advantage to our children, the Bi.
bic must be properly used and not abused
Its careless use often results in more injury
than profit. We repeat it,-somewhere and
somehow, the pure principles of Bible moral
ity must be instilled into the minds of ouI
children, for their own sake and the sake Of
their country.
