Go TO The CnnntrY.

In all the older sections of the country
the farming districts have been gradually
decreasing in population. The people have
steadily drifted towards the cities and vii
lages, and these centers of trade have stead
lily and rapidly increased in population.
All the channels OF trade have been crowd
ed and the panic has thrown many thous-
ands Of persons out of employment and de-
prived them of the means necessary for a
comfortable living. Had the farmers edu-
Gated their sons for agricultural pursuits,
and made farming what it should be, the
most respectable and profitable business in
which young man can engage, this state
OF affairs never could have occurred.
To-day, when thousands OF families are
in destitute circumstances, depending upon
charity for their daily support, there il
great demand for farm labor The lands in
the older sections of the country are not
half titled, and throughout the West there
is ample employment for all idle hands in
this country. Many have secured more
land than they can cultivate, and laborers
can find employment by the month, or farm
on shares, thussecuring an independent liv-
ing and homes for their families. Why is
il they will crowd tenement houses and sub
sist upon the thin soup of charity when
such opportunities for securing comfort ard
homes for their families are offered in the
country, is not easily explained.-BtIde.

nenih Of Tom MarshnII.

Tho Louisville COurier-JournHL furnishes
this sketch of the last hours of Tom MAR
SHALL, who, at one time, was one Of Ken
tucky's brightest statesmen aud orators;
At last exhausted nature gave way and
he was stricken with his last illness. A
friend told him that he must soon die, and
asked him some questions looking to a
preparation OF another world. lie prompt
iy stopped him, and said: No, sir; no, sir;
do not wish to pray. / had no hand in
coming into this world; have failed in all
| have ever SeTiourly attempted or desired
whilst in it. | shall make no arrangements
for my departure, or for another existence.
II God has managed the matter so far,
shall permit him to continue il as best
pleases Him" He dismissed the subject,
and referred To it no more. After remain
ing silent for some time, as il musing, he
said: "Well, well, this is the end. Tom
Marshall is dying, dying, not having suit
Of clothes in which to be buried; dyingup-
on borrowed bed, covered with borrow
ed sheet, in house built by charity. Well,
we'll, il ia meet and proper" After an hour
or more he looked ont of the open window,
and called the attention OF those around
him to solitary tree, standing in an open
pasture, he said: "When / am dead, bury
me beneath that tree in the middle of the
field have been crowded all my life, and
do not wish to be crowded in death" He
said no more, but after time quietly ceas-
ed 10 breathe, lie was placed beneath the
tree, but no stone or mark tells the passing
traveller who rests below.
Bourbon whiskey has made this life a
failure with many as brilliant men, and
thousands upon thousands in all grades Of
life, reaching the very dregs Of society, have
found one common level through its in
strumsntality, and have been left as utterly
in the dark with prospects for future life,

The CrammIng Process,

The teachers Of Cincinnati have petition
ed for n modification of their examination
Under the present system Certificates are
granted for two, five and ten years, the last
renewal without re-examination, except for
certain assigned causes" The Gazette pro-
nounces the petition a reasonable one, and
produces some very practical ideas to sub
stantiate the assertion. 1t says:
The teachers claim that having once pass
ed the tolerably severe examination that is
required to obtain even the lower grade of
certificates, they should be allowed to go on
without being called upon every five years
to go over the whole ground again. The
simple fact is that these examinations are
generally passed after a process of cram
ming" A good deal of ground is covered
by them which Is purely technical, and
knowledge is required that in ninety mine
cases out of hundred begins to be forgot
ten rs soon as the examining process is over.
1t is impossible for anyone TO keep at per-
feet command the immense variety of in
formation that these examinations ask for.
If the holder Of five-year certificate is
obliged to undergo an examination at the
end of his five years, he Grams" for Il few
weeks, only to forget as soon as his second
examination is finished. Phillip Hammer
ton IN his Intellectual Life" points out
| shrewdly the immense loss OF time which is
! involved in half-learning things, and in
| learning things of which no daily use is
made The only effect of the present avs
tenn is to make tsnchers spond time in get.
ting what is inevitable they will lose in q
very short time. No weapon that is moi
often used can be kept from getting rusty
The effect on the scholars cannot be good
IS the teacher is thinking more of what hal
escaped his memory than Of teaching hi
pupils. II it is said that few teacher
would devote themselves to any specia
branch, we answer that this may be true
But, on the other hand, the present systen
keeps those that would from doing so BY
the demand it makes for purely technica
knowledge. The trouble with the system i
that it demands OF the teacher what tn,
teacher is too much accustomed to ask of the
scholars. Our schools to-day teach fact
rather than principles. They devclope tn,
memory at the expense of the understanding
The pupil is burdened with vast quantitie
of facts, while the reason is left uncultured
The facts are only half mastered, they ar
arranged in no natural or logical order, anC
they are crowded out of the mind as new
ones are forced in. The petition of th
teachers should set them to inquiring scri
ously whether the relief which they asl
for themselves should not, in a measure, b
extended to their scholars. They shoul,
remember that the high examination mari
of scholar is only proof that the schola
has been faithful in "crammins"-in othe
words, has been doing that which they nov
ask to be relieved of.
