KNOWLEDGE AND OPINION.
BY MRS. ]. L. AKERs.

There is between knowledge and
opinion a wider difference than the
great mass of people generally seem to
think. We are apt, because appear
ance favors,t to suppose we know, when
we have no positive knowledge in re-
gard to the matter, and positive
knowledge is the only kind to be de-
pended on. 1t is not certain that a
man is too stingy to be honest because
he is careful to receive the last farth-
ing in a trade. Perhaps, and it is
generally the case, he is just as care
full to pay the last farthing. The
same man may with liberal hand
distribute his goods to the needy, and
still he very exact in his dealings with
a fellow man. differences drawn from
imperfect knowledge are liable to
cause erroneous opinions, and we are
oftener Influenced by opinion than
knowledge from the fact that we
know SO little and presume so much,
we should be careful not to cOnfOund
the two. One reason why we are so
continually arriving at false conclu-
siOns in regard to our neighbors is,
not that we see so much of them, but
that we see so little. Were we to be-
come thoroughly acquainted with
them we would find them all human
beings with like passions with our
selves, each with his own peculiar
whims, as we have, each burdened
with care and trials equal TO our own,
each hating from weakness of flesh
and spirit and each having the same
right to an opinion in regard to us
that we have in regard to them. But
It is not our opinion that wounds the
feelings and detracts from the char
icter of man, but the too free airing
If that opinion. We perhaps have a
light to think but we have no right to |
make our ears the refuge of anothels
lark thoughts. uncharitable opinions |
md unjust surmises, willingly, or to |
disseminate such opinions. No man /
5 without a germ of good in his soul. |

1t is said that penny saved is as
good as penny earned. 1t is no less
true that coat of paint on the outside
of house saved is as good as coat
put on. But how can it be saved! In
this way: In one or two years after
painting, or when it begins to rub off
or becomes spotted, put on coat of
boiled oil. This can be done at about
one-fourth the expense of a coat of
paint and will last longer and will re-
store the color about as good as new.
The practice is to put on two or three
coats and leave it until it is all washed
off and then paint again. This is poor
economy. Keep the surface well oiled
and the paint will last lifetime. If
in oiling the oil serawls or runs to-
gether the work does not need oiling.
OF course the work should be clean
before Cling. For a white house
little II ad should be added to the oil,
say four or five pounds to the gallon.

was - feet cut until evening, when
a wider cutting machine was brought
from Prescott and put into the field,
it cutting pa inches wider than any

machines were measured by A. H..

Large cut machine run lighter and did
better work than any other machine
on the ground. The grain was part
heavy and part light. The Marsh
binder choked down three times in
the heavy part of the grain, from
which it was evident that the con

grain is not perfect. The Wood

Shall Education be Exclusively Sec
uIar-or the Bible in COM
mon schools!

The following is an abstract Of a sermon
preached by Rev A. S. Collins in the NJ. Z.
Church at River Falls June 30, 1880, from
notes taken at the time by one Of the con-
gregation. Text, Deut. 4-5.
The important questions before the Amer
lean people are, what and how shall the
State teach? Shall we use compulsion?
Shall the voter write? Should Bible truths
be cast OUT
The object of State education ia to make
good citizens and secure the safety OF society
Tax payers should see ii the schools are
conducted in the best manner II the whole
object is to make men intelligent how much
intelligence is needed to make llen good
citizens Only one-ffth or sixth Of the pris-
on convicts are entirely illiterate and many
educated men are found nong them.
Many tramps are well educated. There is a
small party in every state desiring to elmin-
ate the Bible from the common chools. We
must soon say yes or no to Their demands.
Pestalozzi says that education should reach
the whole man, hand, head and heart. Her
bert Spencer says that the object is to learn
to use all the faculties. Man is capable OF
adding, etc. So is a certain machine. lie is
also capable of moral development. There
is iu him a very strong will or power to do
which must be directed. A good citizen is
not made by little arithmeticand grammar,
but by knowing all his faculties. especially
the guiding ones. A successful teacher
must be man, who will leave his imprint
upon his pupils, Intellectually and morally.
The personality of the teacher is Of more
value and power than all books. Personali-
ty should not be sunk. The apparatus OF
Pestolozzi was himself and pupils. II you
merely give him facts and reasoning power
these higher powers are useless and idle and
character is treated as valueless. By this
course we forget the avowed object, to make
good citizens and prevent crime.
Herbert Spencer, who is not religious. says
morals should be taught, even from text
books, and that the pupils must hear, and
the time used may be part OF the six hours

but when put him on the road he

with less than a bottle cured him so
that he is not lame, neither can the
