LETTER FROM V MEREDITH BELL
RIvERvIEw CoTTAaE, Md,
September Is. 1889.

Il the editor of the STAR will give
me the space in his very interesting
paper, l would like to have little
talk with the boys and girls of Ste
phens City about bell which is ring
ing for them and all the little folks of
our land. There are great number
of noisy bells in the country. but this
one | am writing about is very i'm
portant one-so very important that
the first time I heard it this month l
felt I too must go to work at it's CALL
So important indeed is it, that much,
yes, might say everything in our af-
ter lives depends upon the attention
we pay to it. Can you tell me what
bell it is? I expect you know by this
time. l mean the school bell. know
it is very hard thing for you to sit
in the school house, after the long days
Of play. particularly now, when the
sun shines SO brightly over the fields,
and the long shadows are falling over
the very paths in the woods where
your steps have been SO recently. 1t
does seem very hard thing to re-
quire of our boys and girls, and if
until your lives closed you could keep
just as you are, it would perhaps be
wrong to prevent your indulging in all
sorts of sports and amusements of a
healthful character. The time is COM
ing when every moment of study will
te2;; when the reward will be given
to the hard-worker. There will be a
position Of trust in your town to fill
Tell me, will that boy who wasted his
time at school, fill it? Some of the
merchants in large city where you
may go, may need bookkeeper; will
the boy who sighted his arithmetic
get the position? Only last winter l
met bright-faced boy who won me
by his manly bearing, who remarked,
What is the use for boy who is GO
ing to be farmer, to study ?" Is any
boy in Stephens City asking such a
question? Well, now, let me tell him,
AW the use IN the qoorld. An intelli-
gent farmer can make more than an
ignorant one he knows why the land
is poor, and how to enrich it he can
and does keep his books, and all of
his accounts are as correct as are those
of any other man of business. If you
are going to farm, boys, study hard
moau. | hope this winter will be full
of happy hours for you; telling hours
for good. There are positions waiting
for you, every one of you, in the years
to come. Fit yourselves to be useful
in them, and you will be blessing in
the country. Don't slight your books.
Don't blame your teacher if you are
stupid. Use your own brains. Work,
boys; girls, work and at the end of
this school term see if my words are
not true, and this winter prove bless
ing and cast golden light over your
future; and when the long days of
summer are come again, then you-can
rest and enjoy them all the more for
the hard work of the winter.
"For the structure that we raise,
Time is with material filled;
Our to- days and yesterdays
Are the blocks with which we build"

INcENDIARIsM-On Saturday night
last threshing machine belonging to
Messrs. Smith & Earl, was set on fire
by some party unknown, and entirely
consumed. These gentlemen had been
threshing on the farm of J. W. Tav
ner, about four miles east of White
Post, and Mr.. T. lost all his straw in
the confagration. We learn that a
threshing machine was destroyed in
like manner at the same place about
a year ago, and it is supposed by the
same parties.
