THERE'S MANY A SLIP.
An Old Man BECOMES Insane
Throagh Opposition to His Get
ting Married

An Old Man Becomes Insane
Throagh Opposition ia His Get
ting Married.
..-.. New Haven Union.J
Some time ago an old and well-to-do
gentleman, widower, residing in
Brlmsby, became acquainted with a
young lady in East Flamboro' and he
was 50 pleased with her attractive quail
ilies that he formed strong attachment
for her. The result Of the courtship
was that he offered marriage, and the
lady, though accomplished and fair, and
thence not likely to be troubled with a
scarcity of youthful suitors, probably
concluded that it was better to be an
old mans darling than a young mans
slave, accepted. She was teaching in a
school near Carlisle at the, time, and
was highly respected throughout the sec
tion, and when she resigned the situation
at Easter there Was general regret at her
departure as well as hearty wishes for
her future prosperity. ..asg .rI
Bnt the course OF true love does not
run smooth, and this case formed no ex-
ception. The would-be bridegroom had
some grown-up children, and they Bit
tcrly opposed the marriage of their sire.
1t also happened, unfortunately, that his
property was tied up in such way by
the will of his deceased wife that it was
placed beyond his control. and so the
match was broken off Sad to relate. the
combination of untoward circumstances
had such an effect Oh the old man that
he became insane, and he is now confined
in The asylum on the mountain. There
is much indignation against his children
for the part they acted, as this undoubt-
edly was the chief factor in depriving
him of his reason. As may readily he
imagined, the young lady has suffered
severely from the unfortana ate termina-
tion to her expected matrimonial alli-
anee.

English Gold and Silver Plate.
tAil the Year Round |

The Manufacture of gold and silver
plate in the United Kingdom, if increas-
ing, does 30 very slowly, despite the
growing wealth Of the nation. Whether
this stationary energy is due to the duty
is a point on which those engaged in the
trade differ in opinion. After some
changes from duty to license, the
duties we're reimposed about century
ago, IS. per ounce being charged Oh gold,
and Cd. per ounce on silver. just before
the beginning Of the present century
they were Increased in the one case to
16s., and in the other to Is. There was
again an augmentation seven wears after
ward in regard to silver, the duty on
which was fixed at. 15d.; not with any
reference to the interest Of either buyers
or sellers, but simply because the Gov
ernment needed increased revenues.
About sixty years back the duties
were fixed at It's. per ounce on gold, and
18d. on silver; and SO they have re.
mained ever since. In Ireland different
rates were adopted from those in Great
Britain; but in recent years all sections
of the United Kingdom have been
treated alike in this matter. If the ex-
tent of the manufacture be nearly sta
tionary, this is attributed TO three
causes. First, changes of fashion, which
lead to the adoption Of other materials
as substitutes for the precious metals in
several kinds of ornamental and even
useful articles. Secondly, the durability
of gold and silver plate, which results in
large trade in secondhand goods. And
thirdly, perhaps principally, the devel-
opment Of the electro-plate manufacture,
which began to be definitely established
about thirty-fve years ago, and has been
rapidly growing ever since.

Negleeting Gods House.

PersonSwho neglect the servids OF
Gods hours and the means of grace,
would do we'll to examine, in the light
of Gods word, their reason for this
course. Faith cometh by hearing.
Blessed are they that hear the word
of God and keep it" 1t is our duty
to hear the word of God and keep it.
1t is our duty to hear the word and
not to forsake the assembling of our
selves together. Now, Indifferent
brother, what are your reasons for
your disobeying this Scriptural in
junction? Why do you wilfully alb
sent yourself from Gods house?
Why will you no longer hear the
word as it is proclaimed by Gods ap-
pointment in the sanctuary for the
comfort and nourishment of souls u?
Do you say you do not like the
preacher? We'll, what is the matter
with him? Does be preach the truth ?
Then you should continue to attend
service; for it is the truth, not a a
pleasing preocher that you should
seek in the house of God. You
should bear with the in6rmities Of
your pastor, and kindly and privately
tell him of his faults, but By no near
neglect hearing the word.
Do you say some of the members
have mistreated you? All, how many
stay away from Gods house for this
reason! There can be very little love
for the Lord, very little longing and
signing for salvation, in persons who
neglect the means of grace for such q
trifiug reason. Would you refuse to
feed your body just because some
body sat at your table that offended
you? Nobody W starved to death
in this way. Rather than starve you
would eat by the side of your bitterest
enemy. Yet you are starving your
immortal soul in the midst Of plenty,
just because some n has offended
you. You will not enter the house of
God, you will not hear the word, par
take OF the Holly Supper, and join
with the congregation in public wor-
ship. simply because some one has
offended you. All, your heart is not
right. There is o want of true love
there. Your condition is a pitiable
one. You have turned from the
Lord and are in the service of the
devil. Stop and reflect before it is
too late.-7he Presbyterian.

The Educational Column is for
once accomplishing the purpose for
which it was established, viz: to serve
as 8 medium for the exchange OF
views and opinions on subjects of
general interest to teachers. I hope
that now, since q beginning has been
made, other teachers will occasionally
favor US, and I hope that in the future
I may be so fortunate as to share the
opinions of my correspondents.
In spite of all, so ably said by S.
NJ. S., I can not agree with him yet.
He defends the teachers in a manner
as to do them but an indifferent SER
vice. All he says runs up to this:
You expect too much of the teachers
Il have taken some pains to inform
myself as to the manner in which
teachers examinations are carried on
in other States aud what I have
learned, so far, leads me to believe
that the standard of South Carolina
is below that of other States. This
fact is known to educators, generally,
all over the land and I think that we,
as teachers, should insist that our
authorities raise, as 500 as possible,
the standard of requirement as high
as that in any State in the Union.
Were s. N. S. to advocate such meas
ures then Z would consider him, in
deed. q defender of the teachers. At
present he says: "You are too hard
on as; you treat us unfairly; you de-
grade u.s." If it is degrading a teacher
to ask him what be knows, then, to

Next the question Of time. have

that good time has been made by SC

attempt to degrade the teachers by
not giving them time enough to tel
what they know, must be considered
an utter failure. One lady came tc
the school-house at ii o'clock, an.
swered the 40 numbers and spelled
the 20 words till l SIS and made q

cusable mistake on the part of S. NJ

of the mistake. I suppose, lies in tn

M:. Editor.-Poor health is my
apology for not sooner defending the
teachers against oppressive and riSo-
rous treatment. I said teachers
should have a respectable education,
but the present mode of examination
subjects them to degradation. One
of our respectable Board says he might
be nonplussed with these questions
selected by the State Superintendent.
I admire his candor. I respect him
as a 6rst-class teacher, as first grade.
<xsry popular first grade teacher in
Aiken Corsty told me he missed sadly
in photography: fsay a Board Of
Examiners fail so that they gave it up,
though one of the Boarditold. me had
four diplomas. But W.tD. S. would
create the impression That it is not so
horrible" after all; THAT there are
but 40 questions to answer, and 20
words to spell and 10 bours for the
performance of the task, equal to Is
minutes to the question leaving out
the spelling. Now a compound and
complex sentence sometimes to be
parsed and analysed, its grammatical
and logical subjects and predisates
distinguished and that, too, by the
tedious process of writing, W. D.. S
knows, will require the Is minutes for
the work, without preparation for the
work, besides other questions which
will take more time.
Again, if ". D. S. construes the 40
numbers as only 40 questions, I have
misunderstood language and what a
question is, there being several ques-
tons from one number to another. I
can not, therefore, accept his apology
in reference as to time and small task.
I have seer the highest college grad
yates badly perplexed with new text
Books, an hour at a time. A student
under one of the most scholastic Ger
man instructors I ever knew, told me
his instructor would sometimes be-
come so perplezed in Algebra, he would
have to relax his mind by recreation
to succeed. Now we who are greatly
these mems interiors, must answer 81
; of 10 questions to obtain first grade,
questions of which we must know
nothing, hear nothing and ask moth
ing, must do the work in 10 hours
Well, for my own part, I Dust con-
fessi no ordinary task, an 4tair test.
I have seen various kinds of exam
nations. I have been on the AGA
demical stage as a student, and on it
as a critic. I knew the time of prep
aration. I heard the monitors. I
knew the preparation in other schools
as in my own. I have seen Theolog-
ical examinations. I have heard the
medical and law students report Of
their examinations. but nothing has
been equal to the rigor exercised in
the examination of Public School
Teachers. The iairest and most eff
cient method I have seen, since the
adoption of Public Schools, to deter
mine the qualifications and grades Of
teachers, is by a Board of impartial,
practical, intelligent and literary men
to manage the whole work. Under
present circumstances I lay no charge
against the Boards of Examiners.
They only carry out the State Super
intendent's orders. S. NJ. S.
