On recent Sunday, in Boston, Rev. Ed
ward Everett Hales pulpit was occupied by
Rev. A. D. Mayo, formerly Of Springfield,
Mass, who for two years past has travelled
among all classes in the South in the interests
of education. In opening his remarks on
"What l saw among the children Of the
South, Mr.. Mayo spoke of the sad state of
illiteracy which prevails in the South, the un-
favorable social conditions which obtain there
the miserable position of the poor whites, and
the repugnance of the whites, who are in
minority, to being dominated by the blacks
who are in a majority Then, turning from
this dark side Of the picture, Mr., Mayo spoke
of the bright side. The blacks, he said, learn
ed in slavery the profit of steady labor the
English language and the Christian religion.
Their progress has been wonderful. In sight
of the spot whero the first African slave was
landed go years ago there now stands the
Hampton Institute and the race now num-
bers &, 800, 600 in this country. In Georgia
alone the blacks own property valued at S.
0000 000 The blacks take easily to knowledge,
aud If they can be kept away from their fool
ish friends there need be no anxiety felt about
them. The children Of the poor whites also
are bound to become a prodigious power if
properly educated and cared for. It is nota-
BILE that as fast as education lays its hand up.
on the children, black or white, they begin TO
draw near to each other, and there is no
doubt that, at time not very far distant, they
will dwell together in unity. The present at
ttude Of the higher classes is favorable to this
change. Mr.. Mayo said that his reception
was cordial wherever he went, and, although
many Of the children to whom he spoke were
descendants Of the leaders in the confederacy,
he found the former free from the bias Of
their fathers. The class OF vicious, lazy boys
is not so large as people have beon led tr he
leve, and generation Of such education as
is now going on among the southern girls will
place them abreast Of their northern sisters.
There is a revolution going on in the South as
regards education, and help is needed TO meet
the problem, which, if met as it should be,
will lead tho South into peace. In closing,
Mr. Mayo said that, in order to assist in solv-
ing this problem, national aid should be given
to establish schools and pay teachers; and it
must be remembered that great work must be
done by the people themselves in the common
schools. Finally, there must be prayer and
the creation of public sentiment in favor OF
the great work that has but just begun. We
would like to see this sentiment grow strong
enough among the people TO compel the next
Congress to let alone petty fighting for some
mean partisan advantage long enough to take
up this great question OF national education
and give it the attention which it deserves

Senator Voorhees, thought he had asked
poser in a recent speech in Indiana when he
inquired "My farmer friends, what is to
become of your great corn crop in this coun-
ty if prohibition is adopted 2" There was a
brief pause, and then an old Democratic farm
er spoke up, saying "Do understand, Mr..
Voorhees,, that you really want an answer to
that question p "Yes, my friend" said the
senator, Strengthening himself to his full
height 'I am seeking for information" 4"
'Wel, then" continued the farmer, 81 will

The WoBK OF REVISING THE OLD Tesla
NENT.-On Thursday, Friday aud Saturday of
the last week in each month number of stu
dious looking aud, for the most part, venera-
BILE men gather in Dr.. Schatf's study, room
No II, Bible house; and there from 9 A. NJ.
to p. II. the work OF perfecting the version
OF the Scriptures is carried on. The meetings
are secret, so that no premature criticism may
annoy and hinder the work At each meet
ing the portion Of the Bible to be revised at
the next meeting-for example, twenty of the
Psalms-is given out ana each reviser is ex-
pectod to study it carefully during the month.
On coming together views are exchanged and
the proposed alterations are adopted or reject
ed by vote. The American committee have
been at work on the Old Testament since
1872 and the English committee since 1870
The whole text has been gone over twice and
the committee are now engaged in the third
and last revision which will probably be COM
plsled in a year The English committee
which are about twice as numerous as the
American, meet monthly, in Jerusalem Chap
el, Westminster Abbey. The Bishop of Win
chester is the chairman. The manner in
which the international revision is carried on
is for the English committee to send their
first revision, approved by a majority vote to
the American committee. The latter consider
it, vote what alterations they will approve,
and what disapprove, and return it. The
English revisers then go over the ground
again, perhaps suggesting some different rem
dering, and this revision is also criticised by
the Americans, and so the two committee
versions are gradually drawn together into
one. The third revision is the last. Such
readings as the Americans continue to advo-
cate and the English refuse to accept are &C.
cording to agreement printed in an Appendix,
as the readings preferred by the American re-
visers. The Oxford Press is bound to print
the Bibles with these Appendices for fourteen
years during which time it is presumed that
| the public viii have decided as to its prefer
ences. On the last two revisions a two-thirds
vote Of the committee is necessary to adopt.
| Except in rare instances the revisers are near
| ly all Of one opinion as to the correct reading.
| The revisions are printed in sufficient number
| to furnish one to each member of the COM
mittee and to preserve others for reference.
| They are sent by express across the sea.

Miscellany,


An Autumn Scene.
Tho Indian summers veil Of blue
Lies on the mountains far away;
And from the east, forever new,
Dawn ushers in the dreamy day.
The air is still, the rivulet CLEANS
In silyery flashes through the vale
The silken mist above the streams
Fair path shines like a glistning sail.
see the squirrel skip and dart
Among the rainbow-tinted leaves
The glossy ehostnuts FIRE his heart
But as for him, he never grievea.
Where red and russet orchards stand,
Bowing their burdens to the plain,
The lover takes his loved ones hand,
And saunters through the orchard lane.
The clouds are soft that heck the sky,
The dry leaves rustic past their feet;
But their unclouded reyerie,
And blissful dreams, aud visions sweet,
Uutdo the splendor Of the day,
Surpass the glory Of the dawn;
The world itself must pass away
Ere such delights are dead and gone.
mark their measured step-and slow
The cottage gate, the parting kiss,
And think no summers vaiuly go
That end in such triumphant bliss.
