The infidels charge that the Bible is

DIR. Prime has very little sympathy
to waste upon young men who get their
education by forced loans from relatives.
He says to an earnest young fellow who
wants an education but cannot afford
to pay for ii: 1.-The way of the world
now is for you TO lcok about and see
who will help you get it. That is not
the right way. Look about and SEE
what you can do 10 help yourself.
Grind your own axe. Support yourself
by honorable industry, and earn your
bread while you improve the odds and
ends in study. When you get some
thing ahead, use it to support yourself
while you learn. Ten thousand men
are now serving their generation with
usefulness and honor who never asked
anybody to grind an AK for them"
This is very sensible advice. The young
men of this country, as rule, are
hepled altogether too much. If they
have the right stuff in them they can
get the education which they need
without begging or borrowing.-Cleve-
land Leader.

WE wanted to say in conclusion, last
week, that We fully appreciate Gov. Fosters
services to the party; we acknowledge his
abilities and his virtues, but it is doing
him no discredit to say that in ability and
craftsmanship ne is very much inferior to
Secretary Sherman. 1t may be from lack
of age and experience, but we suspect it is
also largely the result of lack of early
training and education in law and gov
ernmental affairs. However it may be,
the Republican party cannot, at this criti-
cal period, afford to put him in training
for duties that we already have a man
thoroughly qualified to discharge man
who has proved himself the equal, if not
the superior, of any who have ever filled
the same positions. Governor Foster is
comparatively young man, and can
afford to wait. He has risen sufficiently
fast to satisfy the ambition of any reason
able man. He has just entered upon his
duties as Governor, and the State of Ohio
needs his services. He gives promise of
making an excellent executive officer, and
if this is to be held Republican State we
need his services at home. He can afford
- wait for Senatorial honors, but Ohio
cannot afford to dispense with the services
of Secretary Sherman until there is an ab-
solute necessity for so doing. Only in the
event of Mr.. Sherman being retained in
the Cabinet could we feel that it would be
wise to think for q moment of making
Governor Foster Senator; and even then
We believe it would be better for him to
retain his present position and allow the
place to be filled by an older and more
experienced man.

If anything can be learned of the tem-
per of the Democracy, North and South,
from the press, we are warranted in be
lieving that they take their defeat good
naturedly, and are very hopeful of the
fairness and justice of the incoming Ad-
ministration. Instead of the charges of
fraud, perjury, and nearly all the crimes in
the Decalogue which were SO persistently
and shamelessly published before election
against Gen. Garfield, the Democracy have
suddenly, and with a unaninity that is re-
markable, come to believe that he is a
very fair and honest man; that he is con-
servative in politics; has been considerate
and charitable toward the South, and will
make us good President All this is in
strange contrast with their conduct before
election. We are now getting the honest
judgment of the party. Before twas any
thing to beat.

The papers seem to be forgetful of tho
fact that the Democratic portion Of
Beaufort County was cut off and made
into separate county. The vote was
good one, and the only dissatisfaction
we know of existed at Port Royal, and
even there the vote did not show but a
slight falling of from that of former
years. We respectfully submit that 1t
is an act of great injustice to villify a
whole community on account of the
failure to poll in one little town the full
Democratic vote
There is one thing to be said of the
Democracy of Beaufort County, that
unfortunately cannot be said of some
others, and this is, they have not as yet
learned 10 make one Democratic vote
count as five, and five Republican votes
as none. Nor have we yet adopted the
system by which ballots are substituted
in the boxes for those which were
originally placed there. Upon these
litde matters we are sadly deficient,
which will account for the small show
ing we are able to make with 800 votes.
For ourselves, We had rather be af-
fiicted with years of Republican mis-
rule, trusting to the Justice of our cause
finally asserting itself, than to steal an
election. For it will follow, as inevi-
tably as the night the day, that fraud
and trickery will rebound upon the
heads of the guilty ones. This is

in our eye is laid bare 10 the public

beautiful of Gods creations-who while
they charm with their tuneful company
keep at bay the army Of insects that In
summer wage war upon garden and
field and fruit. 1t seems difficult to
get much practical knowledge OF the
birds or natural history of our own
region without good deal of time for
rambling and study, and certainly none
without habits of close observation.
Most of the books on ornithology either
cover too much ground in small space
to minutely describe the birds of any
particular locality, or are too expensive
for private libraries, except for the
wealthy; and there is such meagre and
even contradictory information in sour
