GOOD PAY.

The great maj ority of our sue
cessful men were not the sons of
wealth, Graded in the lap of lux
ury, and sheltered from all blasts
of danger. 1t is the self made
men who have developed the re-
sources of the field, the forest and
mine, the lake and sea, ever since
the first white settlers landed on
the Atlantic shores-the men
without grandfathers."
Merchants, manufacturers, art
lists, artisans, farmers, professional
men-the very large majority
now in all the States of our union
ARE those on whom the tickle
goddess Of fortune frowned in
their earlier years-men who,
profting by their few months or
years in school, and wisely econ
omizing their scanty savings,
have at last conquered the smiles
of fortune, and triumphed over
the rigors of fate.
"Some thirty fold, some sixty
fold, some an hundred fold" these
sons of toll have repaid into the
treasury of national resources for
every dollar paid out on their be.
half by self-denying parents, and
from the public fund that sustain
the schools.

EDUCATIONAL.
THE BEST SOLDIERS.

Armies and navies, with all the
vast expenses of forts, arsenals,
navy yards and war materials,
are powerful and efficient only in
proportion to the men by whom
they are manned. The bayonets
that think, the soldiers and sail
ors who fight as intelligent citi-
zens to defend their rights, are
an unconquerable power. The
Persian armies, slaves and hire
lings, were logged by the lash
into battle, to attack the free
born and intelligent Greeks when
Xerxes drove his innumerable
hosts at Thermopyl@ against the
Spartans and Thespians led by
Leonidas and Hydarnes; and at
SalanIis where Themistocles COM
manded the GFecian ships against
threshold odds.
Hear the echo of their battle
song, preserved for US by Hschy-
lus. who fought there:
~On! sons of the Grceksl
Strike for the freedom of yeur countryI
Strike for the freedom Of your wives and
childrenl
For the shrincs of your fathers gods, and for
the HepulchTes of your siresl
All, all are now staked upon your strifel'
The sea was strewn with dead
bodies. The vast army was de-
feated, and only it's fragments
went back to Asia.
The citizens of our country are
its only cOnsummate power and
safety. No money is misspent
that trains up good citizens. The
nation is powerful in the exact
measure of its civic virtues. The
parent, the school trustee, the
taxpayer, the teacher, who gives
and lives and strives to bring up
a generation Of nobler citizens, is
worthy of his country and his age,
is repaying to posterity the vast
debt and obligations he owes to
his ancestors; is placing himself
among the glorious ranks of pub
lie benefactors. Too much cannot
be done for the chilnren, if we
would strengthen the nation.

INTO MISCHIEF.

Dancing fert and busy fingers,
Never still the whole day through,
+ or the little brain frum dreemland
Brings them work enough 20 do,
Racing through the gorgeous pArlor,
Romping on the winding stair,
Tnaring book. and breaking vasos--
Into mischief eyerywhure.
Picks the cakes and ta-tea the jelly.
Breals the windows ~lsms the door,
Throws n. stature fron Ahe brackets,
Scattels plAythinga on the aooF;
Tearing lirSle coats and trowrers,
Rumpling up the curly hair
Busy. naughty little fngers,
INTO minchief everywhere.
Splitting ink upon:ihe carpet,
Dushing pictures from the wall,
Breaking mirrors, singing, shouting,
In the ottic and The hall;
Tracing mud =crv~s the entri@,
Turning over deck and chair,
Cutting up the morning paper
Into mischief everywhere.
Bot no look Of hate or malice,
Darkens e'er those laughing eyes;
Not thought of harm or SHINING
In It's little bosom'lis-y
For It's soul Is pure, and guiltlea,
Whatever harm the fingers do
Though tie little feet are straying
Into mischief all day through.

THE MEN.

The men of character, energy,

interests at stake; the men who

want to comfort or to plenty; the
men who value the protection of
good laws, among industrious, in
telligent and thrifty neighbors;
these are the men to sustain
schools, in order to save the ex-
penses of jails and poor houses;
these are the friends of knowl-
edge, who are willing to give the
children a better chance than
they enjoyed in their own strug-
giles.
