The Cornerstone of Democracy.

IolCuO
The truth cannot be too often repeated
that every child should be educated in or
der to make good citizen
1t is not necessary, nor is it possible
for all to oreceive the highest culture, but
to each individual should be given in
struction in the elementary branches suf-
ficient to enable him to read and write,
and to understand the meaning and bear
ing OF the events taking place not only
in his own country, but all over the
world. This is absolutely essential to the
proper exercise Of the privileges and the
performance of the duties OF citizen OF
the United States. Without it he can
never realize the magnitude Of the inter
ests committed to his charge, for a sin
gle ballot may work the whole future
veal or woe Of the nation.
All the riots which have ever occurred
in this country, causing loss OF life and
property, have been the work OF igno-
rant masses, blindly led by superior intel
ligence without principle. Education
does not right its wrongs in that way. 1t
perccives that nothing can be gained by
sweeping out of existence millions of dol
lars, interrupting and paralyzing business
and destroying innocent lives. 1t looks
beyond the present hour, does not allow
itself to be controlled by wild passion,
but when it decides upon action, organizes
its strength and directs its movements
with some regard to the rights of others.
This being true it is evident that the
safety and prosperity of the State depends
upon the intelligence of its children. 1t
Is, therefore, absolutely necessary that
every effort should be made to secure this,
not only by persuasion but by legislation.
The State should not leave the matter to
the will or desire of the parents, but
compel the child to be educated. Too
many, through gross ignorance them
selves, through carelessness or cupidity,
will not send their little ones to school.
The law should in such cases step in with
Its fiat and take the matter in its own
hands.
The experiences Of the different States
and Countries where Compulsory Edu-
cation has been enforced has shown it to
be beneficial in its effects and, therefore,
desirable. Educated men make the best
soldiers and the best workmen, and the
masses Of them are law abiding, peace
loving citizens.

There are girls who start out in life with
an underlined idea that they will marry
somebody, and then keep looking through
the matrimonial market just as they
would look through the stock of silks on
the shopman's counter. Taking down
piece after piece they find the shade of
this too dark, or Of that too light, or of the
other not exactly what they think it ought
to be. After putting the salesman to
much trouble they say they will call
again, and leave the place not knowing
what they want, So the gill who wants
to marry looks around to see what offers,
and finds that this mans beard is too red,
that ones eyes too blue and the other
ones ears too long. She will look little
farther. She examines all that are in the
market and concludes to look farther yet.
And when, alter having almost unCon-
sciously become a tiirt and having broken
the hearts of half the young men in the
neighborhood, she keeps on docking a
little farther" She finds herself going
alone down the hill on the shady side OF
the way, still with an indeiinable longing
to marry somebody, and wondering who
will come along to propose TO her.
1t would be rash to advise the young
lady to accept the first marrying man
who offers. 1t is equally rash to advise
her to wait, and wait, and keep on wait
ing and at last marry nobody. Perhaps
it is not necessary that all should marry.
Some of the noblest women in the world
are what the world calls old maids; yet
that is lonely way of getting along. If
the girl wants to marry, the young men
will find it out, and her soul will look out
of the windows OF her eyes in an unmis-
taxable manner when the right man
comes along. And all this without any
lack OF modestY or breach Of decorum on
her part.

"wnARF RATS" OF NEW yORk.
The Hiding Places of an Army Of
Thieves under the Whnrves.

CcrloHeT-S Montnly.
This under side Of the city is a shadowy
world even at high noon, and its structure
as well as its seclusion makes it as good
as forest for hiding.
The piles stand in rows running across
the pier, stringer or heavy timber lies
on top of each row, joists lie across the
stringers, and planks cover the whole.
Thus between the top Of each stringcr
and the planks there is quite space,
where boxes and bundles can be hidden.
There are many miles Of piers about the
city, and each pier has a great quantity of
strngers So here is vast region Of Sc
crecy right under the busiest part Of New
York Many OF the piers are supported
on such dense forest of spiles that only
the smallest skiff can pass through the
narrow, tortuous openings. Formerly
the thieves had channel of this kind
from one end Of the city to the other, by
which they could travel nearly the whole
distance without showing themselves.
"You see, sir, here are plenty of chan
ces to hide. You may think this is enough
for any set of thieves. But it is not; we
follow them up and clean out their holes.
They find new places now and then.
Once we discovered lot Of hardware and
tools hidden unden the guards and in the
paddle-box of a steamboat that was laid
up for the winter. Many things they hide
under water, such as spelter and other
metals. 1t is almost impossible to dis
cover. these plants; but sometimes we
hit on them by chance. Once, man
who had been loafing about the deck Of
one Of the Troy steamboats, threw over.
board valuable hawser and then plunged
overheard himself before anybody could
catch him, although the boat and the
wharf were full Of people. Both the haw-
ser and the man fell into skiff alongside
the steamboat and disappeared under the
pier He had the start, and of course es.
capped before any OF us could get boat
and follow him. But we heard of him
afterwards under certain pier, and we
went there to look for the rope. We
dredged between the piles for three days
and by good luck hooked up the hawser
These men sometimes get their deserts
without any of our help One OF them
who had stolen boatload of pig iron, ran
under Pier 40 to hide. That pier had a
shaft and gearing under it for hosting ice,
He hitched his boat, and then climbed up
near the shaft the gearing caught his
clothes, and we found him in pieces scat
tered over his boat.
Still darker scenes might be recorded
of this under side of the docks. The ac-
tors appear first in the city's brighter
hauntS of pleasure or in its miserable
denS of want and crime. Then they wan
der in the streets alone; and gradually
but surely stray to the water. Night is
around them, in them. The city behind
them sparkles with life. But it cannot
penetrate their night, nor light their dark
passage under these waves to the morgue.

MISCELLANY.
AN EDITORS TALEDIoToRY.


The editor Of New York State Journal, on
Tetiring from the profession not long since,
snbraced the occasion to give utterance to
some sentiments which are applicable the
world over among newspaper readers
. Having for nearly seven years been a
weekly visitor at your homes, kindly sharing
the hospitality, and we hope, contributing
somewhat to the comfort of the same, it only
remains to shake hands all around, take an
aifectionate and heart breaking farewell and
come no more, probably, forever.
Good bye 1t has been spoken over the
dead lying in their collins. 1t has been spok-
en- over the dead lying in their collins. It has
been spoken when an ocean was to roll in be-
tween parting hearts but it never is spoken
with such pathos and JUNCTION as when coun-
try editor, with the memory of his hard grub
blngs and his scant comforts pressing upon
him, hands his valedictory over to the com
positor, puts the stub end Of his worn-out
pencil into his breeches POCKET, and sbaffies
his rheumatic legs down stairs to go no more
back forever.
We part upon the square, We proclaim
general amnesty all around. We retire for
giving our enemies, aud shall haunt those who
obstinately refuse to forgive us. We are
bound to be forgiven
Farmers, goodbye! You are the dorsal
column of the country editors subscription
list. 1t could not stand erect without your
help. May the time soon come when no mort
gage, like great morass in the centre of
pleasant meadow, shall obstruct your prosper
ity. Have you ever given us wood of scrimp
pattern and highly perforated cordagep The
act is forgiven. Have you ever given us but
ter of most unhallowed flavor We hope, af-
ter little, to forgive even this.
There is a particular class of patrons whom
every departing country editor remembers
with special gratitude. 1t is the substantial,
thoroughly steadfast, patrons-the men who
are never blown out of favor with him by the
light gusts of i'll wind. They are the men who
lash their bills with thorough professional
honor and promptness. We remember all
such men in Groton with downright and I'M
compromising gratitude. We count their
names with thankfulness. They are like the
brick walls which hold this office above the
street floor.
Support the new management. A country
newspaper needs friends, and cannot afford to
have enemies. Don't get mad if something
fails to suit, and stop your patronage. Don't
plattle all over the village about the short
comngs Of the editor-co-operate with and
encourage him. Help him to get news, and
see that he has his share of your money to do
business with. Don't loaf around his Office
and steal his time. Don't give him too much
good advice He knows more about this bust
ness, probably. than you do. Help, but don I
binder. Again, goodbye /"
