Education.

There is, perhaps, nothing more
wished for, but less understood, than
education. Being educated with
many means tho parting of the hair
in themiddle with mathematical pre-
cision and artistic nicely, a learned
contempt for study, and supreme
disgust for work proportionate to the
profundity of their vanity besides an
estimation Of themselves in an in
verse ratio to the quantity of brains
they possess.
Our object is not to reform such
characters, but to warn those who
may think that this is the legitimate
result of education that such is not
the case, and that the presence Of
these symptoms is an evidence ofthe
softening of the brain with them.
To those who think that education
means familiarity with Greek, Lat
in, astronomy, geology, etc, we would
say that the chief value of these
studies is their efficacy in discipling
the mind. Its a prevalent but I'M
founded belief, however, that the stu
dy of these particular subjects, is in
dispensablc to an education,
There is a proverb more truthful
than elegant about sack being ofall
trades and master of none," which
may be applied to the subject undor
discussion with equal force. 1t sim
ply means that those who would
know everything seldom know any
thing well,
Let those who are seeking to edu-
cate themselves, therefore, bear in
mind that multiplicity of studies is
not essential to education, and that
ceaseless application to study and UNI
remitting perseverance are the schol-
ar's diploma,

Company D Of the Eleventh Unit
ed States Infantry arrived in this
city on Sunday, and were obliged to
lay over until Monday. They were
from Fort Worth, or some other post
in Texas, and on their way to the In
dian country in Dakota. A mcddlo-
some Radical politician met the boys
soon after they pitched their tents on
a hill above the Depot, and called
out;
"Hurrah, boys for Hayes"
Not a solitary cheer responded
One of the sergeants stepped out of
the crowd and remarked:
"You have made mistake: we
don't cheer for Hayes; we are Tilden
men,"
what you do not mean to say you
oppose the men who give you food
and clothing?"
Eyes, we do We are tired of Grant
and his gang, and as for our food and
clothes, We will excuse him for that
if he will let us loose"
ooh nonsense, boys; you don't
mean to goback on Grant and Hayes
"Yes We will go back on any man
who keeps two-thirds of our boys in
blue down in Dixie" to keep white
men down beneath the niggers, and
who sends a handful of US up north
to be killed and scalped by the In
dians, armed with guns and bullets
furnished by Grants brother, Orvil,
and his deputy post traders; and |

An Amusing Decision.

Men of genius are not unfrcqucnt-
ly ashamed of their early efforts and
productions, which, of course, are US
ually very crude; for it is by many
stages of development that the germ
of mental achievement reaches its
most perfect power.
The following amusing anccdotc is
related of the celebrated painter,
Washington Allston.
tits said that not many years after
he took rank among the masters Of
his art, a picture was presented him
one day for examination. "What is
your opinion? Speak freely, pray
you," said the person to him,
Allison declined; he was reallyun-
willing.
The other insisted. at was the
work of a young friend; he really
must have Mr. AS opinion"
"Why," said the reluctant painter,
placing it in variety of positions,
at is queer thing, 4 very queer
thing"
"But does it not indicate talent
said the other.
"Woll, then" said the painter, "to
deal plainly with you, it is a wretch.
ed affair There is no ground for
hopc-not even for hope, Let him
give up the idea, He never can
make painter"

"No! IMPOSSIBLE"

and here, see, here is the date only
seven years ago you perceive"
