As a matter of kindness we call the
attention of someone who occupies the
important position ofroad overseer, to
a mud hole in the RockpOrt and
Hartford road near Peter Ashby's.
We are abuDdantly satisfied that the
lower stratum of the next world will be
largely made up of Ohio county road
Overseer, and hence we dislike to call
to their troubles here below, but the
way in which prominent republican
lawyer and the editor of this paper
pulled through that mud hole, was a
caution-awordt to the wise is sufficient.
The Grand Jury is only sleeping, not

Public and s'rivaie schools.

After all, the much vexed questions
as to the comparative efficiency Of pub
lac and private schools, resolved itself
simply into the question of which have
the best teacher. 1t then becomes a
question Of individual schools not Of
classes of schools. Where We find a
teacher of strong personal character,
there we find a good school, and we
must industriou>ly labor not to repress
but to develop individuality in the
children, if we would make powers of
them.

a FINE-POUND NOTE.

WELL, yes, did find a five-pound
note once, and as you are so pressing
I'll tell you all about it as well as |
can. | find, though, that it isn't quite
so easy to tell you as / thought it
would bet seems so difficult to know
where to begin. You think it easy
enough before you do begin, but when
you We got your paper, your pen and
ink, and settle down like, it seems as
though what you intended to say had
all gone out of your head at least,
that's how it seems to me. I wonder
now whether | ought to begin by tell
ing you exactly when | was born, or
whether | ought to go back even be-
fore that, and tell you all about my
grandfather and grandmother, my I'M
cleS and auntS, my father and mother,
and my brothers and sisters, where |
came from, and all | have been doing
as long as | can remember Well, |
only wonder all this because | find it
so often done in the books | managed
to get hold of. | don't intend to do it
myself, because I'm quite sure YOU
wouldn't care about it, and because /
don't like to keep on talking about
myself. So III endeavor to come to
( the point at once, and if anybody thinks
it at all easy to come to the point in
telling story, just let them do as I'm
dOing-try it.
Well, it was about the year 1864, as
near as | can remember-about ten
years ago-just after l came to Lon
don, that | was out with my wagon
one morning early, going to deliver
some GOALS Goals wasn't the price
then that they are now, and therefore
it was better for us men. People
i didn't want their Goals weighed then,
and they didn't seem to think of it;
and when they was delivered folks
didn't object to given you triIie, be-
sides drop o'beer. Now they nearly
snaps your head off if you only look as
II you expected anything. Well, this
morning I'm talking about | had the
wagon all to myself, as LIy mate was
i'll, and very lucky l thought myself at
the time, [ can tell you. 1t was cold,
miserable morning, Just few DAYS be-
fore Christmas. and | was jogging
along thinking of all sorts of things.

Stanley, the African Explorer.

STANLEY is once more lost. The
last that was heard from him was III
April, 1875, and then he was on the
eve of exploring the Albert N'yanza
Lake, from thence passing into the
Tanganyika, through the connection
the existence of which he has always
maintained. The Royal Geographical
Society of London, however, has re-
ceived the intelligence that Col. Cor
don has succeeded in placing small
steamer on the Albert N'yanZa, and
circumnavigated it, finding it to be a
lake of 40 miles in length and fifty
miles wide in the widest part, and also
discovered that there is no connection
between it and the Tanganyika The
most important news which he COM
municates is, that he found no traces
of Stanley, and the announcement has
caused great uneasiness among his
friends. Those who think that he is
still alive are confident Ehat, finding
there was no connection between the

and will descend, via that river and the
Congo, to the west coast. If this were
his route, it would be some time be-
fore any tidings would be heard from
him. Every one will hope that the IN
trepid explorer will reach safe haven
at the month of the Congo, but the
prospect is a gloomy one, when IL is
remembered that his route would lay
through region filled with hostile
tribes. and that be would be exposed

in a very humble life quite clear or
whether the story was worth telling.

"GOD rs EVERYWHERE.n
ALL within and all without us,
Never-ceasing whispers tell
That spirit hangs about US

ALL within and all without us,
Never-ceasing whispers tell
That spirit hangs about US
Working with an unseen spell.
In the solemn hour of yespers,
In the busy hour Of care,
Steal the soul-reviving whispers
God is everywhere"
Walk within the pleasant wildwood
in the Springs refreshing hours,
When the merry song of childhood
Floateth on the breath of flowers
There's whisper ever stealing
Thro the young leaves on the air,
This delightful truth revealing
"God is everywhere"
Go beside the restless ocean
When the breezes gently blow;
Mark the waves in their commotion;
See the eddies come and go;
Listen to the numbers swelling
Into strains of music there
Is there not some measure telling,
"God is everywhere"
Walk beneath the sky at even,
When the golden day declines,
And the azure brow of heaven
With its crown of Jewels shines;
Is there not an echo ringing
Thro' the pleasant summer air,
This delightful sentence bringing
God is everywhere"
All within and all without us,
Never-ceasing whispers tell
That Our Father dwells above US,
Weaving round a holy spell.
Let US, then. with harps and voices
Swell our anthems on the air
Earth with one accord rejoices-
- God is everywhere"

INDEPENDENCE BELL.

HOW THE BELL RANG, JULY a, 1776.
THERE was tumult in the city,
In the quaint old Quaker town,
And the streets were rife with people,
Pacing restless up and down;
People gathering atthe corners,
Where they whispered each to each,
And the sweat stood on their temples,
With their earnestness of speech.
AS the bleak Atlantic currents
Lash the wild Newfoundland shore,
So they beat against the State House,
So they surged against its door;
And the mingling of their voices
Made harmony profound,
Till the quiet street of Chestnut
Was all turbulent with sound
8 Will they do it?'' : Dare they do it?''
s'Who is speaking?' What's the newsg'
g What of Adams?'' What of Carroll?"
80! God grant they won't refusei''
. Make some way therei'' Let me nearer!''
$ | am stilingl'' Stife, thenl
When Nations life's at hazard,
We've no time to think Of men,
So they beat against the portal,
Man and woman, maid and child;
And the July sun in heaven
On the crowd looked down and smiled.
The same sun that saw the Spartan
Shed his patriot blood in vain
Now behcld the Soul of Freedom,
All unconquered, rise again!
SO they beat against the portal,
While all solemnly, inside,
The delegates to Congress,
With but reason for their guide,
Ger a simple scroll debated,
Which, though simple it might be,
Could shake the cliffs of England
With the thunder of the Freel
AT the portal of the State House,
Like some beacon in a storm.
Round which waves are wildly beating,
Stood a slender, boyish form,
With his eyes fixed ON the steepls
And his ears agape with greed
To catch the first announcement
OF the signing of the deed.
Far aloft in that high steeple
Sat the bellman. old and gray,
He was weary of the tyrant,
And his iron sceptred sway;
So he sat- with one hand ready
On the clapper of the bell,
When his eye could catch the signal,
The happy news to tell.
See. see! the dense crowd quiverS
Through all its lengthy line,
As the boy beside the portal
Hastens forth to give the signi
With his little hands uplifted.
Breezes dallying with his hair
Hank! with deep, clear intonation,
Breaks his young voice on the air;
flushed the peoples swelling murmur,
Whilst the boy cries, ioyously:
. Ringl rngr' he shouts, Ringl grandpa,
Ring! O, ring for Liberty!n
Quickly, at the given signal,
The old bellman lifts his hand.
Forth he sends the good news, making
Iron music through the landl
How they shoutedl What rejoicingI
How the old bell shook the air.
Till the clang of Freedom RULED
The calm gliding Delawarel
How the bontires and the torches
Lighted up the nights repose,
And from the flames, like tabled Phoenix,
Glorious Liberty arosel
The old State House bell is silent
flushed is now its iron tongue;
But the spirit it awakened
Still is living-ever young;
And when we greet the smiling sunlight,
On the Fourth of each July,
Let us not forget the bellman,
Who, betwixt the earth and sky,
Rang out loudly Independencel''
Which please God, shall never die!

GoD loves to smile most upon His
people when the world frowns most.
When the world puts it's iron chains
upon their legs, then God puts His
golden chains about their necks; when
the world puts bitter cup into their
hands, then God drops some of His
honey, some Of His goodness and sweet
ness into it. When the world is ready
to stone them, then God gives them the
white stone; and when the world is
tearing their good names, then He
gives them new name, that none
knows but he that has it-a name that
Is better than that of sons and daught-
ers.-ChArch linton.

International Sunday-SchOol Lessons.
THIRD QUARTER, 1876.
A Little Every Day.

IHE longest lie is made up OF SIM
pie days-few or many; but the days
grow into years, and give the measure
of our lives at last.
The life is at the last what the days
have been. Let the children there
fore look after the days-one day at
time-and putinto each one something
that will last-something worth doing,
something worth remembering. some
thing worth initiating by those who
follow us.
1. Every day a little knowledge.
One fact in a day. How small thing
is one fact? Only one! Ten years
pass by. Three thousand six hundred
and fifty facts are not small thing.
2. Every day little self-denial. The
thing that is difficult to do to-day will
be an easy thing to do $50 days hence,
if each day it shall have been repeated.
What power of self-mastery shall he
enjoy who, looking to God for His
grace, seeks every day to practice the
grace he prays for.
3. Every day little helpfulness.
We live for the good of others, if ou1
living be in any sense true living. IT
is not in the great deeds of philan-
thropy that the only blessing is found.
In
Little deeds of Kindness"
repeated every day, we find true happi-
ness. At home, at school, in the street,
in the neighbor's house, on the play
ground-we shall find opportunity ev-
cry day for usefuln ass.
4. Every day a little look into the
Bible. One chapter a day What a
treasure Of Bible knowledge one may
acquire in ten years. Every day a
verse committed to memory. What a
volume in the mind at the end of
twenty-five yearsl-N Y. Observer.
STEADFAsTNEss in the Christian life
IS dependent upon Astounding in the
work of the Lord" An idle Christian
must be unstable. Young converts
should be taught first of all that they
must be working Christians, and they
should be helped in finding work
adapted to their ability. Look to this,
pastor 8; the young men and young
women should be started right-put
into fields of labor. The Sunday
school will use some Of them for a
part of their religious activity; it may
be that special meetings will be needed
to employ their gifts and develop re-
ligious habits. At all events, keep it
before you that Christian must work
or die, and that his steadfastness will
bear a constant relation to his
Astounding. "-Stondar2.
