been paralyzed and speschlsss for
eight years. Affections sore long
time she bore, physicians were In vain
until ono day, recently, she was
seized with . strong impression that
she must kneel and pray to God,
which she did with great difficulty
on account Of her affliction. Being
speechlsss, she could only pray men,
tally, but 1t seemed to answer the pur-
pose, as she felt strange thrill
shoot through her frame, and then "a

heard her own voice reciting the

The Other Side.

To the Editor Of the Republican.
SIR: The article by your Marmont
correspondent which appeared in the RE-
PUBLICAN OF the 18th inst, concerning the
teachers institute held at this place, is a
base misrepresentation Of the matter, the
greatea part Oft being false. We deem it
but justice to ourselves and Mr.. Bailey to
make an explanation. The institute was
well attended, and all present seemed to
enjoy themselves. There was no shower
of wrath hurled at Mr.. Bailey, and If
there was any colonization il was not ex-
pressed, SO there was no necessity for an
,inglorious retreat" Indeed, we believe
that no one present at the institute differ.
ed materially from Mr.. Bailey, either in
his remarks or his proceedings, except
perhaps, the suthor of the item, whom We
suspect is envious, and would himself be
elevated to the cushioned stool of prefer.
ment."
The facts Of the case are these: During
the noon recess several teachers were con-
versing on the subject Of school houses
and furniture, when Mr.. Jacob Lewis pro.
posed TO draft a resolution as follows ::
That the trustee furnish each school
house with the following articles: An
iron shovel, iron poker, metallic ash buck
ct, wood box with lid and lock, broom,
two wash bowls, coarse and fine comb,
looking glass and six napkins. This reso-
luton was approved by all of the teachers
present. After the institute was called
to order the resolution was read by the
Secretary. Mr. Bailey taking the floor re-
marked that he thought the resolution
was adopted In irony of his Manual, be-
cause so many articles were enumerated.
Mr.. Lewis explained the reason why the
articles were named, and that 1t was not
done with any intention of irony or any
thing of the kind. Mr.. Baily stated that
he understood the motives of the teachers
in adopting the resolutinn and that IL
would be well enough to have all of the
articles In the school room and to have
them used. Perhaps this Is what Is
what Is meant by an "inglorious retreat"
We wish the people to understand that
your correspondent did not express the
sentiments Of the citizens of our village,
nor Of the majority OF the teachers of this
township. Prof. Bailey has many warm
friends here, and we recognize In him
person interested In the advancement of
education in our county, and an earnest
worker to that end.

THE DAY OF REST.

Never was there more blessed institu-
tion than the sunday, the sacred day of
rest from labor. For the souls health and
the body's health n the human race, or at
least one day in seven there should be an
ever recurring intermission of daily toll
Thus, let man attain TO the period of
three score years and ten, he has gained a
holiday of ten years duration, even if his
lot has been labor for the remaining three
score years. Let childhood be taught to
use, and manhood discreetly use this
blessed breathing time as day on which
to raise the thoughts beyond the world,
not less than for purposes of innocent
recreation.
