How few persons there are whose
lives are governed entirely from
principle rather than inclination.
Even those of US who may be en-
deaVoring to live for high purposes,
come far short of our aspirations
alas how very far short. How of
ten we find our convictions of right
and duty questioning if it might
not be as well for us to yield to in
clination, just for the time, prom
ising our disturbed consciences that
we will make up for the present in
diligence by more vigorous self-de-
NAL and strict attention to duty.
Vain, fallacious reasoning of a weak
nature we can never make up for
one neglected opportunity, one mis-
speut hour, one wrong, selfish act.
Oace past, the opportunity unim-
proved, the hour wasted, the act
committed, ii is beyond our reach
to recall, except in thoughts of re-
greet. We may atone for it, but we
can meyer change the past. Alas
how painfully we are aware of this
fact. Then should we all endeavoT
the more earnestly to make our
lives embodiments of principle
for we all know that, after all, the
path of duty, though sometimes
rugged, is not without sweet pleas.
ures and let us never follow ouI
iuclinations, if they would lead Us
away from right. Then shall we
be permitted at the last to look
back upon our lives with satisfac.
ton, feeling that we have "dont
what we could" and that our Father
regards US with approval.

TaIkIng Against 'rInac

A man has nearly talked himself
to death in Kern county, California.
A loquacious loafer known IS MUIR
phue offered to wager $50 that he
could keep on talking for twenty
four consecutive hours, without In
terruption, and with no other slim
ulant than Delano whisky, which
was to be furnished in unstinted
quantity at the losers expense. The
wager was taken by another loafer,
and the orator mounting the stump,
began hsrangue on the subject OF
KearDey and the sons of toll. The
start was made at 8 80 q. m. By
10 80 p. m, the demiiohn had gone

then taken up. Murphue's articu-
lation at z a. m. became rather hus-
ky aud the thread of his argument
rather difficult to follow, but he
kept at IL. One bet of $40 was Of

EducatiOnaI.

Professor William Everett, late of
Harvard, will succeed Professor
Dimmick as head of Adams Acad-
emy-at least temporarily.
The Rev. Joseph Cook has given
$500 to found Greek prize at Phil
lips Academy, AndOver. He was
graduated there twenty-one years
ago.
Governor Seymour Gays: "You
can never make q successful system
of education that does not contem-
plate the education of the teacher as
well as that of the pupil"
This college ordinance has been
recently passed by the Yale faculty :
''No student shall prepare or cause
10 be prepared, or publish or cause
to be published, any paper, wheth-
er single issue or periodical, on
which the name of the responsible
editor or proprietor is not stated ;
and a copy of every periodical or
other publication prepared, edited,
or published by or under the direc-
ton of any member of the college
shall be deposited at the college IL
brsry."
The spring term of the Ohio
Wesleyan University opens with
over fifty new students, besides the
return of large number who have
been out teaching during the win
ter. The venerable Rev. DR.. L. b.
Gurley has recently donated So ,000
to the University on which he is to
receive life annuity. This plan OF
making donations to the institution
is very feasible for persons adj
Yanced in age and of moderate
means, who cannot afford to dis
pense entirely with the income OF
the property, while it is perfectly
safe for the institution to take pro-
ductiVe property, the income from
which is sufficient to pay the annu-
ity.
The question as to whether the
German language shall continue to
be taught in tine public schools of
st. Louis, which has agitated the
community aud been the subject of
much newspaper discussion for
some time past, was settled, for the
present at least, by the board of
public school directors April 10.
They held q very late session, and
discussed and debated the question
from numerous standpoInts, and fin
ally, after taking two or three test
votes, which were favorable to the
German they, after midnight, adopt
ed the majority report of the COM
mittee having the matter in charge,
which reported in favor of retain
ing German, music, drawing, and
the kindergartens, by a viva-voce
vote, thus putting the matter at
rest until The next election for
School Directors.
