deserves great credit for his energy and devotion in
this good cause This is well for him and for those
who cooperate with him. but we do not think it is
well for the state of which all part to single
out the poorest and most ignorant class in the
munty, and tell them they must either provide
schools for themselves, remain in ignorance Nor
does it paiae the matter that few self sacrificing
and humane people found to supply in part what
the State government has left undOne. The educa
tiOn of the people, both black and white, is too i'm
poTtant subject to be left. i'll any measure to nd-
vidual generosity. No portion of the people can be
allowed To remain in ignorance without serious
danger and detrimcnt to the entire community.
Ignorance and vice 90 hand in hand and we may eX-
pect to pay for our neglect to call it by no harSher
name in heavy taxes dCfay the expenses of courts
and jurics, jails aad whipping posts. Besides we

THE ELDER TREE.

remember i'll my boyhOOd days
Down through the shady grove,
Where tall trees lowered toward the sky,
oft was wont to rove
One day upon an elder tree
deep inscribed my name,
Then thinking that for years to come
I'd find it still the same.
That people through long future years,
Would speak the words it bore;
And SchOOl-bOys that were then unborn
Would read it DER und DER.
That children and grandchildren too
Would look at it with pride,
(JuSt as seen my fathers there,
Long after he had died).
Spring after spring has come and gone
And filled the hollow mark:
Revolving seasons in their turn
Have formed again the bark.
lis true long years have passed since then,
(FOr time swift headwNy gainS)
But now upon that elder tree
There's not a mark remains.
So like those visions of my youth,
Men crowd the steps of fame
And high upon her shining top
Each tries to write his name
Neer thinking in few short years,
Old time the roll will call,
And all the monuments of earth
Will Crumble down and fall
But far beyond the reach of time,
Above the heights of fame.
There is a nObler monument
On which to write our name
We may place it there, mid dark despair,
And brighten ii with tears
But yet Respondent ii shall shine
Throughout eternal years.
