Home Influence.

Out OF our lives there flows every day
some spiritual influence, good and true in
it's nature. IL this be true land who
doubts the influence Of mind upon mind)
then in what an important light should
we regard intellectual culture-that
which strengthens and beauties the
mind, and renders the influence emana.
ting from it pure and ennobling. Wealth
and beauty may secure you a passport
into society, but if specifically educated,
rest assured by the cultivated and INTEL
Iigent, you will be weighed in the balance
and found wanting.
Nature has assigned home as the PEI
culiar sphere Of woman. ouIsIde OF II
she may command the admiration of the
world, but if her chaiact be purely in
tellectual, we instinctively recognize the
want of something higher and more pre-
cious than the noblest achievement of the
mind. When the warm outgushing of
sympathy-,he delicate sensiLility of her
nature is crushed, then is lost thai inde-
scribable charm which alone imparts
beauty to the female sex. Our happiness
is dependent not 80 much upon the great
and important events which transpire
during life, as upon the small and appar>
emily trihing circumstances that al up
the record of each day. II this be true,
then we cannot attach too much import>
ance to the surroundings Of home. Who
do you find welding an influence in co.
ciety? That woman who has a strong,
clear intellect, refined manners and poll
ished education. As culture and refine
ment renders beauty more radiant and
glorious, so it redeems a plain face from
homeliness, and stamps it with higher
order of beauty than mere regularity OF
features confer. II may be urged BY
some that they don't intend to occupy po-
sitioHs OF nOtoriety or eminence, and
therefore need not strive to obtain a fin
ished education. But is home influence
to be regarded as unimportant? The
sweet affections that beautify life, the
virtues that elevate and ennoble charac-
ter, are only fully developed in an at
mosphere Of purity and refinement

The chief concern of the American
Republic should he to make thorough
provisions for the education of every citi-
zen mp to the standard Of clear com-
prehension of rights, and faithful, fear
less discharge of his duties. This truth
we hold to be self-evident. This .funda-
mental task once performed, the remain-
ing functions of a wise and generous
statesmanship will be comparatively few
and simple. A whole people made
thoroughly capable Of self-goyernment,
through an efficient, all pervasive system
of education, viii leave but little for pro-
iessiOnal Statesmen to do, since all men
will, in liberal measure, be statesmen.
1t is indisputable that, sovereignty being
universal, education must be made uni
yersal also. For. between intelligence
and illite.acy. there is, and ever must be.

Civil freedom must inevitably follow fast
in the footsteps of intellectual and moral
freedom. The power of educated mind
is superior to mananles and dungeons
1t is as illimitable as the universe. There
are hundreds of thousands in these United
States who are, to all intents and purpo-

simply because they are mentally and
morally enslaved. Nominally endowed

NO ENMITY RETwEEN THEM.
How Mr. TIidcn and Mr. Cooper shook
Hands Heartily Together.

From the New York SUI.
Mr.. Samuel J. Tilden sat in a box in
Booths Theatre Friday night, giving close
attention and cordial applause to ole
Bulls familiar triumphs and tricks on
the violin, which was the principal object
of interest to the three thousand people
who were participating in the Norwegian s
mos. recent farewell to America. At the
close of the first part, 1hen ole had re-
sponded to his pristine encore, Mr. Tilden
stepped to the front of the box and hand
ed the white haired Paganini a laurel
wreath, which proceeding gave great
pleasure to Mr.. Bull, Mr.. Tilden and the
audience: During the intermssion the
venerable Peter Cooper stepped from the
stage to the box where his rival sat, and
the audience was treated to the unwanted
and agreeable spectacle OF two Presi-
Dental candidates shaking hands as COR
daily as though one had not rightfully
received l96 electoral votes and the other
none at all Then Ole Bull joined the
merry group, and lavishing his ostenta>
tious greetings upon the philanthropist,
who sat inthe front ofthe box, retired to
a back seat for less conspicuous but more
mysterious converse with the statesman.
At last Cyrus w. Field entered the
charmed circle, and watched Ole Bull,
who was back on the stage, with an in
tentness that showed he was thinking OF
the tact that he only lacked one ofhaving
