LIrEEArunE IN THE MIDDLE Ae

LITERATURE IN THE MIDDLE AGES.
The monasteTies of the Middle Ages
were the conservators of literature,
and we of modern times cannot be
too grateful to the cowled ecclesiasts
of those early days, who have be-
queathed to us SO rich treasure.
Nearly all that is valuable in rev.
citation, in history, in theology, in
science, art and government-in fact,
the great bulk of literature Of every
kind belonging to the dawn of the
Christi IN era, has come down to us
through the medium of monks and
anchori, es of the early Church. Nor
has the crypt preserved for US sacred
literature alone, but also a large por-
ton of the immortal writings Of pro-
fame authors previous to the Christian
era. The histories of Tacitus gather
ed dust in a monks cell long before
they were given 10 the world. Some
OF the most celebrated of Cicero's dis
sertations lay among the wine-casks
of an ancient monastery till they were
so discolored that only the keen-eyed
medieval schoolmen could make them
out. Livy's manuscripts were found
in a monks closet, so were Aristotle's s.
Truly, the strongholds of the venera-
BILE fathers were keeps Of which the
world may well be proud since they
sheltered Aristotle and Cicero, and
Tacitus and Lucullus, and scores Of
other immortal writer's, from the de-
Wasting hand of barbarism.-Prlnters

He Cor THAR.-Going down the

the State entered the sleeping-car and
Miss. regular old home-spun native OF

inside of a car Of the kind, and every
thing astonished him. When the
porter came to make up the beds /
saw that the native was greatly per-

peal it wasn't nv duty to post him.
He was the first one to make prepar-
atoms for bed. He glanced anxious
" around, pulled off one boot, and
then took rest for FIVE minutes.
When the other boot came off he had
solved the problem. Pushing his
boots under the berth he started for
the rear platform, and nothing was
heard from him for about ten minutes.
Then he put his head into the door
and called out:
"All you 'uns in thar, look out,
for I'm coming ?"
And come he did. He had disrob-

~ One OF the most interesting Of
the Studies in Historical and Politi-
eel Science, published by the Johns
Hopkins University. is the recent
one on Old Maryland Manors.
While there are many old estates in
Maryland called manors, it has been
doubted by all the older historians
whether there was ever a real manor
with It's court 1eet and court baron in
operation in the province of Maryland.
II was doubted By Kelly, by McMa-
hon, by Bozman. and their doubts are
ados.ed by Scharf. Passagesin these
writer's indicate that power 10 hold
court leet or baron were granted with
the lands of old manors, bat no re-
cord was known by them Of any such
court. But Mr.. John johnson, A.
B., has proven conclusively the exis-
istence Of such courts, and has actual
ly produced from the archives Of the
Maryland Historical Society an an
cient docket of court leet and court
baron held at st. Clements Manor In
the years reaching from 1859 to 1872.
This document had slumbered unno-
ticed a long time because, owing to
age. the quaint authorizations and
strange handwriting, and antiquespel-
hing, it was hard to read. It Is now
published for the first time. It's gem
uineness, however. is incontestible,
and IL establishes the fact that the old
manors were real things, and that they
gave character to the provincial life
Of Maryland in the early days. The
Manor Of Evelinton, in st. Mary 8
county; Great Oak Manor, the Manor
Of Kent. Susquehanna Manor, and
others, were doubtless places where
civil and criminal law were admins
tered, and courts baron and courts
leet held. Their records are probably
lost, but this docket of the St. Glenn
ent's Manor shows how these courts
were conducted.-Baltinlore Anleyl-

SAVING LIqUrD MAxURE.-It is q

EAvrEG LIQUID MANURE.-It is q
matter of great saFpriss that 90 many
farmers allow the liquid contents Of
their barnyards to be washed away
into creeks and rivers, instead ofsav-
ing and utilizing it in fertilizing their
land. Nor will it ever be otherwise
until proper means are taken TO pre-
vsnt It. There certainly would be no
great trouble in doing 30. All that
is necessary is to dig q round pit or
cistern Of sufficient size just outside Of
the b3rnyard, and walling it up with
stone, firmly imbedded In cement
mortar to make It water tight. a
trench, or sort Of blind ditch, about a
foot in depth-the side Of which to be
also walled with stone-should then
be dug all along the lower side Of the
yard, close inside the fence, for the
purpose Of conducting the liquid from
the yard TO the cistern, from which
il is to be pumped or emptied as need
ed, into o hve-barrel cask, placed in
the hind end Of q Wagon, TO bs'haul-
ed TO wherever wanted. a hole
should have been previously bored
into the cask near It's lower heading,
from which there should extend a
piece Of rubber hose to connect it with
. distributor suspended from the rear
end Of the wagon by means Of iron
rods, the distributor to be made Of q
four.ineh pump stock. FIVE feet in
length. closed at both ends. perforat-
ed with quarter-inch holds at short
intervals the whole length Of the bot
tom. for the purpose Of distributing
the liquid over the land. With such
q simple fix it is an easy matter to
distribute the liquid as fast as accu-
mulsted. and it is particularly bene-
fetal to grass land at any time when
the grass is not large enough to be
injured by being driven over. By
this means. and by carefully saving
and utilizing all other manurial ma
terial found on the premises. we verify
believe that on a majority Of farms
the most of the money now being
spent in the purchase Of fertilizers
could be saved.

PULvERIzIYG THE SoIL.-One Of
the most essential features in agricul-
ture is the perfect condition Of the
bed for the reception of seed. Nc
matter how we may fertilize, or how
well we may manage in our system Of
rotation of crops, the fine pulveriza.
ton of the soil is the paramount OBJ
ject that should be entertained by all
good farmers. But somehow or other,
farmers associate excellent prepare
ton with hard labor and extra work,
which no doubt is true, il the pillow,
cultivator and harrow are to success
sivelY follow each other in order to
perform one object. We have made
wonderful progress in our methods of
agriculture, but the old-fashioned
plow and harrow jointly hang on the
neck of the farmer like an incubus en-
tirely beyond his removal. Improve
ment in the pillow is of more vital con-
sequence at the present time than the
advancement of stock, and although
we have pillow or modern design, light
er draft and stronger make, yet we
still associate it with the harrow and
cultivatOr. thus making three efforts
to pulverize the soil where we should
make only one.-Farmer's Magazine.

BURDETT's ADVICE To YOUNG
MAN.-And, then, remember, my son
you have to work. Whether YOU
handle pick or a pen, wheelbar-
row or a set of books, digging bitches
OF editing q newspaper, ringing an
auction bell, or writing funny things,
you must work. 1t you look around
you, son, you will see that men who
are the most able TO live the rest OF
their days without work are the men
who work the hardest. Don't be
afraid of killing yourself with over
work, son. 1t is beyond your power
to do that. Men cannot work so hard
"a that on the sunny side of thirty.
They die sometimes. but it's because
they quit work at 6 p. IN. and don't
get home until 2 a. m. It's the in
tervals that kill, my son. The work
gives you an appetite for your meals.
1t lends solidity to your slumbers, it
gives you perfect and grateful ap-
probation OF holiday. There are
young men who do not work, nv SON:
but the world il not proud Of them.
1t does not know their names. even !.
It speaks Of them as so-and-so's 8. bows.
Nobody likes them; nobody hates
them the great busy world doesn't
even know that they are there. So
lind outwhat youwanttobea do, SON,
and take of your coat, and make a
dust IN the world. The buster Won
are the less deviltry you will be les
apt to get into. the sweeter will b
your sleep; the brighter and happier
Your HOLIDAYS and he better salts.

Wedding Bells.

Mr.. EDITOR-On the evening Of the 21st
inst, there was Il large company of invi
ted guests assembled at the house of Mr.
John Theaker, near Pennington, Cole
rain township. The occasion was the
marriage celebration of his only daugh
ter, Lizzie j., and Mr.. Martin G. Murphy,
of Keys, York county, Pa.
The folding partition between the two
commodious parlorS was drawn. These
were tastefully festoOned with ever
green wreaths, and other attachments
After the guests were arranged, at half
past o'clock, the intended bride and
groom entered, neatly and beautifully
attired, and standing under a large
horseshoe wreath, their marriage was
solemnized by the Rev. DR.. T. r. Craw-
ford, uncle of the bride, assisted by Rev.
James Day. In the north part of this
double parlor, stood a table, filled with
bridal presents, numerous--and some of
chem costly consisting of gold coin,
silver, glass and chinaware, with numer-
Gus other articles for household pur
poses.
At the close of the ceremony and the
usual congratulations, the newly con-
stituted husband and wife, retired. to-
gether with the guests, to the dining and
sitting rooms-thrown into one eating
hall for that occasion, and enjoyed them
selves for time. Next morning, the
newly married couple left for a three
months tour in the East. TED.

hopeless; but it is determined that the
south shall be as solid in the Electoral
College as it was on the side of the re-
bellion. and whatever methods may be
necessary to accomplish that result will
be adopted, even in the policy should
involve the shedding of rivers of blood.
This is the meaning of the so-called
Danville riot. 1t is the purpose for
which innocent men were assassinated
on that occasion.
The Democratic party has it in its
power to put stop to the outrages that
are perpetrated in its name; but wi 1t
do it! We fear not. We look in vain
to its press for a condemnation of the
Virginia outrages, or even for a falr
statement of the facts. The Democratic
leaders know that npon the solid South
their hope of success depends, and they
are ready to gather in these votes and
count them, and profit by them regard
less of the methods by which they are
secured. If, therefore, Democratic
President should be elected in 1884 he
would owe his election to the solid
South and to the methods which were
made so conspicuous by the Bourbons OF
| Virginia in the late farce which is mis-
called an election.
1t seems ordered that the battle OF
civilization against barbarism must be
fought over again in 1884, and the peO'
pie who are on the side of the former
may as well begin to prepare their bal
lots.-[Cin. Com. GaZ.

L Belmont County Teachers Asso
citation met at st. Clairsville on Satur-
day at IL a. N. Tie Association was
called to order by the President, Prof.
A. A. Clark, of Bellaire, who presided
during the day. The minutes of the
previous meeting were read and ap-
proved. About sixty teachers were
present, and the meeting was fully up
to the average meeting in point of in
terest and enthusiasm.
Mr.. Marion Keyser read an instruc-
tive paper on Written examinations in
our ungraded schools" Mr.. Keyser
reviewed the advantages, and disadvan
tages of written examinations in an able
manner. He showed the utility of writ
ten examinations in plain and con
elusive manner. The discussion of this
subject was opened by R. G. Clark, fol
lowed by j. II. Taggart, G. w. King
and others. After lively discussion
the Association adjourned until 30
p. m.
On reassembling general discussion
was had on the subject, Should there
be graded course of study adopted fOr
our County Institute" This discussion
was opened by C. w. Elliott, who was
followed by Messrs. King, Orr, Peck
Martin, Thompson, and others. AS a
result of this discussion the following
resolution was adopted:
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
Association that course of study, en.
bracing at least two years. should be
adopted for the use of our County In.
stitute. This is a step toward more
systematic manner of conducting our
yearly Institute. By it, teachers will
be better enabled to qualify themselves
for their work, as they can choose for
themselves, according to their respec-
tives wants.
a report, concerning the course of
study tor our ungraded schools, which
was adopted nearly two years ago, was
then heard. A number of teachers, who
have been using this course of study
spoke most encouragingly of their sue
cess in their use of the course. 1t is to
be regretted, however, that greater
number of our teachers have not, lat least
given the course fair, patient triak
1t was resolved to hold the next
meeting at Flushing. On the last Satur-
day of January.
The pupils of the High School, under
the leadership of Prof. Elliott, rendered
some excellent vocal music at intervals
during the day.
Barnesville was represented by Messrs
Peck and Bundy, and Miss Mary c. Bun.
dy and Miss Stanton.
Prof. Orr, the genial superintendent
of the Bridgeport schools was present
as usual, as was quite a number of his
teachers.
