sGWith brains. SIR z,

"With brains, STRIP said Joshua
Reynolds, when some one asked him
what he mixed his colors with.
That is the ingredient we Want to
get for our labor. "W hat is the
foremost need of the country ?' we
asked an intelligent traveller the
other day. Intelligent labor,'' was
his unhesitating answer How shall
we get it? By education OF what
sort Here the doctors disagree, one
prescribing training in letters, the
other in tools. "Education makes a
man a more intelligent shoemaker if
that be his occupatlon,' saws john
Stuart Mill, shut not bv teaching
him how to make shoes 1t does so
by the menlal exercise it gives and
the habits it impresses.
"Every man must get his living"
says Froude, either by working,
begging or stealing, and he de
mands that al! shall receive an educa-
ton that shall fit then for worrying.
'To crowd lads mind with infnite
names of things which he never
handled, places he never saw nor will
see, statements of facts which he
cannot understand and which must
remain merely worthless to him, is in
Froude's opinion, "iike loa1in. his
stomach with marbles; for bread,
giving him a stone"
The truth lies with both sides as
usual III such contentious. The tool
alone can only make a blackbead.
The book alone will only turn out
book-worm, Both together may
make the intelligent labor which is
our conntry's foremost need.
If anything is proved in education
1t is that general intelligence such as
the good common school developes
is serviceable to all the handicrafts
and professions. la advocating hand
training, therefore, we must not I'M
der value literary culture Both
must 90 together. The graduates
Of the gymnasia in Germany make
the best students in the POLYTECHNIC
schools. There is something more
in haudicrait thaa skill. The lively
mind must prompt the ready hand.

their teaching by lAinging it within

an introduction to some Of theproress
Of handlwork, which they might
easily do without detriment 10 their

The Stone Rolled Away.
BY L. L. RoBISsOH.

1t was Easter eve, aud over the fair
Southern land the breath Of early
spring seemed whispering its fond
hopes ana promised blessings far up
the western sky the sun had scattered
rosy tints that shed abroad bis good
night bonediction. and over all the
world the halowed peace of Easter
tide seemed already resting
To many hearts its soothing balm
had come, bringing the holy joy that
ouly christians have to know bur on
the thoa gu.erl face of the little girl
who s'ood silently goziag on this sun,
set soenc, there was little of such
happiness written Only a great sad
ress Swallowed little Clara - eyes, and
truly it wa, sad lot that had fallen
to her portion in th'q life.
Quire alone with All invalid aunt she
had lived f1r more than a year in y
quiet old country house. ever since
,he loving mother had been taken FROM
her, aud laid in the grave which, it
seemed to Clara, all the pleasure and
happiness she had ever known we're
buried too: and away from the dear
OLD home, away from the friends ., no
would have helped her bear her sorrow,
She had been sent here to one who
seemed to know, Or care so little about
little girls, that il is not strange the
poor child lived'a dessolate life
Sometimes Clara would wonder if
God had ceased to care for her since
the good mother had gone, for all
things seemed so sadly changed. low
they had loved to think and talk Of
him together, and how verv near he
had always seemed to her then Ey-
cry Roaming season had brosght its
special lessons to lead her thoughts to
him; but in the long d4solaoe year
passing slowly away, how dim aad these
beautiful lessons grown leaving in
their place nothing but the great, COM
fortress sorrow.
On this evening it seemed as though
the pain and longing were more than
, she could bear. She knew the great
Easterday was near at hand, the day
her mother had loved best in all the
year, and tins afternoon she had beer
( told that one Of Gods ministers, com
ing take charge Of the little churcl
s. long vacant, would be in thir mids
Oh the morrow to bring the gloriou'
Easter message.
1t was of this that Clara was tbiok
ing as she stood thus alone in the sun
set hour, but mingling with the pleas
IRE the news had brought, there hal
come also this freshly wakepod long
ing. Why could she no fee the scott

Savior's diving love aud of his resur
