A STAR OF HOPE.

A star above the steeple-top,
In twilight but a feeble spark,
Is hanging as the shadows drop,
And brighter burns as comes the dark
Let not your courage from you go
When common troublcsdrag youdown:
Yon1 face that now is white for woe,
WithQpnny JOY may yet be brow.
BE pure in heart, in peace OF pain:
Obex the still small voice that calls:
Ilae DeaR above the steeple-vane
Wshines stronger as the darkness falls.
Hope, like a diamond III the coal,
Shall shine, however black the night:
Keep we'll your eyes unto the goal.
And do not tire, but trust and fight.
Because the path has led your feet
To places bleak and bare with blight,
Seek not for safety in retreat;
Still forward go, and look for light.
And if in vain you seek a ray
OF sun to break the chords Of sorrow
Still fight it out-work well to-day,
And do not fear about to morrow.

TIE TRUE POLICY.

The Bulletin of Marksville speaks
like an old Sage:
awe are glad to see that the South
ern papers are insisting upon the
construction of road to the Pacific,
the rebuilding of the Mississippi
levees, and the establishment Of
lines OF steamers with central Ame-
rican parts as measures eminent
~ deserving of the fostering care
and aid of the general government.
They insist without exception that
these are enterprises in which the
South is vitality interested, and that
it cannot afford to act or co. operate
with any party which is unwilling to
commit itselfto the Policy of cxteifd-
ing government aid to them. This
is the true position for Southern
congressman to take, aud ifthey adj
here sternly and uncompr0mislngly
to it, we shall hear no more about
opposition to Southern subsidies.
The North has almost entirely been
built up with the help Of government
ALL, aud nov that she is satisfied il

will not do for her to say that the
same measure Of assistance shall
not be accorded to us as was accor-
ded to her out of the common trea-
sury. We are cntitlcdtotlis national
recognition on every principle of
justice and reciprocity, and let our
representatives in Congress see that
wereceive il. LET them turn their back
upon any man or party who refuses
Us this simple justice. Let them
spnrn with the contempt they de-
serve any and all alliances not open
~ and actively friendly to these
great measures. Above all let them
bear in mind that the South asks not
for a boon but for justice. She only
asks Tor what Of right belongs to
her,

ESSAY ON
Read Before Moline Grange No. g.,
Moline, Miss, at its Regular
Meeting, by the Lady
Assistant Steward.

Worthy Master, Brothers and SIS
ters-We feel entirely incompetent
to do justice to the subject under
consideration, but will suggest a few
ideas at least bordering on the sub
ject. In the first place, we will endea.
vor to define the word education /;
and in doing so, give you the words
O~6 f the most profound thinkers
OF the age: namely, that III the term
Education is contained the folio
wing: "The feelings are to be disci-
plined; the passions arr to be re.
strained 9rue and worthy motives
are to be inspired; a profound@ Iii
eious feeling to be installed ; and pu-
re morality i%nculcated in all circum-
stances"
Considering this as the meaning
of the term, do you wonder why We
feel unfit for the task, aud that we
regard it as one OF the greatest
themes one that will require the
best minds to analyze it in order to
draw ont its beauties5
1t is not the man or woman that
has gone through the greatest num-
Der of books, or who has received
the most polished, collegiate course,
who is educated. Well has the poet
said:
.tMany a lad returns from school,
A Latin, Greek aud Hebrew fool,
In arts and KNOWLEDGE still a block,
Though deeply skilled in hic, hec, hoc.'
Man must be so instructed that
he will know how to make q practi
cal application Of what he has lear
ned, before he can be saidtO be edn-
Gated. About the most uncommon
kind of sense now in the world, is
common sense; that which will in
dnca tile mental faculties to action,
and at the same time be subject to an
industrious, iMlomitable will. To
