Some were struck down by the hand oi

Many fell on the battle fields of Shiloh,
Chickamagua, Champion Hill, Gettys-
burgh, the Wilderness, and other places.
Many were starved to death at Anderson
vile, Libby, and Bell Isle. say this,
not from any national vanity, but to show
that adherence to our native language is
no hinderance whatever in our way to
be patriotic, to be true to our govern
ment, even to the core. We call this
country our country; these Republican
principles are our principles, and if the
past is an index to the future, our chill
dren, and our children's children, yea, to
the l34th generation, will live and die
by these principles.
Now, my friends, allow me as an hum
ble servant of this Committee, and Of
the Eisteddfod, to extend to you one and
all the hand of welcome; not only, nor
mainly, because you have bought your
tickets and paid for them; we thank
you for your money-it is very good in
its place; but we want you all to under
stand that we act from a higher motive
than the love Of money, when we well
come you here. We desire to impress
upon the tablets of your hearts the fact
that we look upon you as co-workerS in
raising and elevating humanity, by cul-
tivating Poetry, Music, and Art; and
may we feel as one in the glorious work
of raising the hearts, and purifying the
minds of those around US; not by the
instrumentality of the Eisteddfod only,
but mainly by our Sunday Schools and
the preaching of the Gospel. And may
the day be far distant, yea, may it never
come, when the enemy, the enemy of
God and humanity, will wrench from our
grasp our Free Schools, our Sabbaths, and
our Bibles. Tn God ice trust.

Physiology and taught it in his school,
but he would at least see the necessity OF
observing the laws of Hygiene, and he
might soon enlist his patrons in the sub
| ject and by the combined influence of
parent and teacher soon bring about a
better state of affairs and thus save the
children from an untimely grave.
The bodily structure is not all that
suffers from an ignorance or disregard of
the laws of nature. The mind the most
| essential part of man is frequently made
perfect wreck by improper manage
ment. 1t is sometimes overworked or
rather improperly taxed. The mind of
child is very tender and flexible and is
easily stimulated to an unhealthy action,
thus the child breaks down under the
pressure and becomes discouraged, and
although having made a good com
mencement makes a pesfect failure in
the end. On the other hand some chill
dren are permitted to spend their time
in idleness and never accomplish the
amount of study they are able to do.
The grand object to be accomplished is to
give the young mind what it is capable
of performing, neither over-working it,
nor permitting it to fall into bad habits
of study by not supplying it with mate
rial necessary to its proper growth.
The young mind is easily influenced
either for good or for evil therefore,
great pains should be taken to keep it
from evil influences.
1t is natural for the mind to grow, and
it becomes a pleasure to study whenever
the mind is directed in proper manner.
Study is like food to the mind, but it is
like food to the body-it must be taken
in a proper manner and in proper
amount, if it produces good result
In order for a person to administer
this food properly, it is necessary for him
to have some knowledge of the mechan-
ism and workings of this wonderful hui
man machine.
In order that Physiology may. be
taught in our common schools, it will be
necessary that it be made one of the
branches in which each teacher must
pass an examination before receiving
certificate. The objection may be raised
that there is not time for the branches
that are now taught in the common
schools. To that / say, dispose OF some
of them then. AS said in the first part
of my essay, if the physical and mental
powers are destroyed, our learning
amounts to but little But it is not nee
essary to abandon any of the studies
commonly taught in our public schools.
Other States have Physiology in addi-
ton to the same amount of text books
we have, and suffer no inconvenience
therefrom. 1t is not supposed that a
person would spend time to study Phys
iology as a science in detail, as physi-
clan, or professed scholar would, but
every person should have q general
knowledge of the principles of Physiol-
ogy. The ignorance of this subject which
prevails among persons who claim to be
well posted, and perhaps are in other
branches, is perfectly astonishing TAX
ing all these things into consideration, !
think it is clear to any reaso enable mind
that Physiology ought to be taughtin our

The Man With the Coon Skin.

parcel tied around with string, he in

door,

pretty fair, for hot weather" was the
answer.
"Are you up to bargains" continued
the stranger, as he united the parcel and
took out coon skin-a coon skin that
seemed to have been kicked about the
house ever since the war.
"Humph p sneered the grocer, as he
contemptuously eyed the old skin.
you may 'humph = and 'humph + and
'humph! all you want to!'' exclaimed
the stranger in loud voice, "but if you
want coon skin to sell again, this is the
article"

You don't? Great heavens but

replied the grocer.
''You wouldn't? Merciful stars But
is it possible that you would take bread
from the mouths of my starving chill
dren, my innocent darlings, who don t
know coon skin from COW hide p
The grocer was SILENT and the stran-

right hand and continued:

as he glanced at the flesh side a second
time.

He dropped the coon skin and held
his coat and vest open, but as the grocer
didn't shoot, he presently picked up his
merchandise and continued in sad
voice:
Mister do look like q pirate, or
robber, or liar? Do you suppose I'd

To US the novelty has worn off, and we
have had time to coolly estimate the re-
suits. There are those here who can re-
member the condition of things here six
or seven years ago, and can compare
them with the present, and though we
might differ somewhat as to the causes
which have produced tLis change for the
better, yet we shall be sure to agree upon
few facts.
We never had a term of court here,
held in a decent or comfortable place.
with its proceedings marked throughout
by decency and decorum, and divested
of rything pertaining to levity and
blackguardism, till our ladies were sum-
moned to attend and participate in it.
We never had a grand jury here who
boldly and unfiinchingly took hold to in
vestigate offenses against decency and
ers to punishment, till we had a grand
jury composed largely of ladies.
We have had several terms of court
but had scarcely been able to convict or
punish single criminal for any crime,
however heinous, through the medium
of those courts, till we got juries COM
posed largely of women.
We did not have single election here
without drunkenness, rowdyism. quarrel
ing, fighting and bloodshed until our
wives mothers. sisters and daughters
were permitted to accompany us to the
polls We well remember the time when
many man stayed away from the polls,
losing his rights to citizenship, rather
than encounter the danger and rowdy
ism he must meet in order to exercise it.
Butal1 this is changed. Our elections
go off as quietly as any other social
gathering, no matter how heated polit-
ical campaign may be, or how important
the issues at stake. And we all point
with pride to the result, whether or not
we agree as to the cause which has pro-
duced it-Laran,ie Sentinel

A Fight for Supremacy.

A gentleman residing in this city had
occasion, a few days since, to make a
journey down the river and several miles
back from it, using saddle-horse. Dark
ness overlook him in a sparsely settled
district, and as the roads were in bad
condition and the evening looked threat
ening, he halted before forlorn- looking
hut, and asked if he could find lodgings
II reckon ye mought," replied the
long haired, sorrowfuleyed squatter, af-
ter hesitating for a moment.
The Vicksburger found little to eat,
and his horse found still less The squat
ter and his wife were all alone, and they
had but few words for the stranger, and
scarcely spoke to each other. When the
evening grew old the traveller camped
down on the floor on blanket, and be-
ing very tired he feel asleep, while host
and hostess were smoking their black
clay pipes at the other end of the room.
He had slept about two hours when the
squatter shook him by the shoulder and
said:
stranger, I'm powerful sorry to dis
turb ye, but want to ak favor"
"Yes-yes-what is it2" inquired the
Vicksburger, as he rubbed his eyes and
sat up.
"Ye like to see far play, don't ye,

Or soar in song above me,
Where brown bees hum and TOOd-nowef

And friends are near that love me.
Here nature speaks, from buds and beaks,
The lesson God has taught her;
His bounty swellS the hills and dells,
And spreads DER land and water.
Through seas of grass the mowers pass,
And bend to tasks of duty;
On every bush the berries blush,
Red as the lips of beauty.
If birds can think, the bobolink,
Perched there above the clover,
Is full of praise these golden days,
And sweetly bubbles over.
The cloud that brings the rain has wings,
That gleam through rifted places,
Could we see through the windows blue,
We might see heavenly places.
Here hope will be green as the tree,
That mods upon the mountain,
And peace Will flow like streams that glow
In sunlight from the fountain.
AMONG these hills where daffodils
Grow close to rural roses,
Thy lily fair, with naNen hair,
In peaceful sleep reposes.
