Educational Work in the South.

The vast and important work being
done by the Freedman's Aid Society for
the education and elevation of the colored
people of the South is not we'll understood
by the masses of the people. This great
and benevolent organization has estab-
lished in the late Confederate states six
chartered institutions for higher educa-
ton, three theological schools, one medi-
cal college, and ten seminaries and nor
NAL schools. These institutions are To-
Gated at important points all over the
South, and the amount of good they are
doing is incalculable. These schools re-
quire at present a working force of about
eighty teachers, and besides adding new
buildings and assisting poor students the
society is obliged to raise money for their
support, These teachers are nearly all
graduates OF northern institutions, and
through them the energy and enterprise
OF the north is being rapidly infused into
VIC ooutll' lc IuiuD vi nupilS lduSut
in these coored schools since the war is
nearly 10000, while these pupils have
themselves taught probably 600 900 more.
Their good influence reaches to some eS-
tent nearly the whole colored population.
The society has raised and expended in
all nearly 81 200, 900, S25O, 600 of which
is in permanent school property.
This vast work is supported almost en-
tirely by voluntary contributions, rang
ing from a few cents to ten thousand dol
lars and over. Donors Of the larger class
are, however, very few and the society is
obliged to place great dependence upon
the collections taken annually in the
churches. When these are small. or fail
entirely, the society finds itself laboring
under great embarrassments. 1t is dcsir-
able that all true friends of progress
should take an interest in this matter and
give what assistance they can. The New
England Agent is Il. L. Bsbec, Of SkoW
hegan, Maine.

Mr.. Conklings admirers have laid great

found he was disqualified by clause of the Con

been elected, be appointed to any office which shall
have been created or the emoluments of which shall
have been increased during his term of office

The Wife.

What do you think the beautiful
word wife comes from? 1t is the
word in which the English and Latin
languages conquered the French and
Greek. hope the french will some
day get word for it instead OF that
dreadful word femme. But what do
you think it comes from? The great
value cf Saxon words is that they
mean something Wife means "weav
er." You must either be housewives
or housemoths; remember that. In
the deep sense, you must either weave
mems fortunes or cmbroider them, or
feed upon and bring them to decay.
Wherever true wife comes, home is
always around her. The stars may
be over her head, the glow worm in
the night cold grass may be The fire
at her foot; but home is where she is
and for a noble woman it stretches
Tar around her, better than houses
cciled with cedar and painted with
vermillon, shedding Its quiet light
far for those who else are homeless.
This l believe to be the woman's true
place and power.-Rnskin
