| If, in your judgment, fifteen years o
experience as teacher in the public
schools of Missouri qualities one t.
write concerning them, you may pub
lish this as an Introductory to a serie.
of articles on our public school instruc
ton. In this, I wish to call attention
to the paramount importance of educa
ton in general. With but few excep
tions, communities do not put forth eff
forts to obtain liberal education fol
their children commensurate with tht
Importance of an education. Educa
ton is almost life itself. Yea, tue
education, in things pertaining to God
is "eternal life;;" for 1t is written: "This
is life eternal, that they might know
thee, the only true God, and Jesus
Christ whom thou hast nt."-John
II: 3.
Yea, education,-r real education,-
which not only cultivates and ex-
pands the powers of the mind, but
cultivates and purifies the heart also,
is both civil and eternal liberty. And
this liberty Jesus doth freely offer to
all who will be educated by him.
As it is written: "If the Son there
fore shall make you free, ye shall
be free indeed. John s: SO.

tivate the hearts OF their children by
instructing them concerning their re-
lations to God, their creator and final
judge.

liberty. Let the intelligent reader
look back upon the condition of ma
tions and see how hardly have lntelli-
gent nations been kept in servitude.
Education, therefore. is life and liber-
ty. Would you leave free and hap
py posterity behind you, you must ed
ucate. Would you leave a prosperous
community in all respects, you must
educate. If you would not have all
the noble enterprises you have put on
foot to fail and come t. naught when
you are laid unto your fathers, YOU
must educate.
My dear readers. let fifty years roll
away, and we will have left our Coun-
try and Church to the care Of genera
tlons, the training of whom Is now
to us. And our Country
and Church will be just what we
now choose to make of these dear boys
and girls by way Of education.

our free country, and Of the Redeem
er's kingdom in the hands Of those
who will begin where you leave of,

Tilden and Anti.TiIden.

The Presidential prospects of both
parties form the staple topic at the
capital, says an Albany correspondent
to the New York Sun, under date OF
March 9Th. There is a freedom of crit
icism on all sides quite at vari-
ance with the usual regard for party
discipline. Many Democrats devote
| much of their time to savage attacks

Republicans go about asserting that if
Grant is nominated he cannot possibly
be elected. The lines are not drawn
between the factions of the two par
ties.
A ,well-known New Yorker-an Of
flee holder under Tammany Hall
was here last week big with plan for
compromising Democratic differences.
He said: "The holding of separate
convention by Tammany is not intend

a necessity. The regularity of Tam
many was conceded by the last State
convention. Its delegates were admit
ted, and its representative were award
ed positions on all the leading commit
tees. Their subsequent withdrawal
could only have been avoided by the
nomination of some other candidate
than Lucius Robinson. The bolt was
no afterthought, aud was not an act of
party treachery. For months before
the convention it was perfectly well
known that Tamnlany Hall could not
be brought to the support of Gov. Rob
inson, and that if he was named her
delegates would withdraw. With this
they were admitted: and !
