A deadly vendetta exists in Livingston
parish between the Lanier and Kirby fami-
lies, and nearly a dozen men have been
killed to date. The latest feature of the
affair was the ambushing of Lanier party
at Hog Branch, three weeks ago, and the
killing of two Laniers and one Kirby.
There are only few male members of the
contending families surviving, and the
vendetta will probably continue until only
one of these will remain.

pertinent reply, all show that it is not in
| structlon, but training that they need. The
wholesome regulations of the school oppose
the vicious inclinations of such children
They become'restive. crisis comes. Au.
thority is resisted. The angry passions oi
the turbulent child threaten to overthrow
all order, and introduce anarchy and con-
fusion. What shall be done? Shall the
teacher pause and give a moral lecture, OF
shall he enforce obedience? The latter
| most assuredly. The 1rtuous in the school
demand it as a protection, the good of the
offender requires it. Let it be done by
persuasive means, if it can be done. We
are not here discussing the appliances by
which order should be established, though
we have no hesitancy in saying that resort
to the rod in such cases will not unfrequently
be necessary. But whatever may be the
means employed, obedience to authority
must be established. And when this is
done, the whole school and all the people
ought to rejoice, for the first step toward
forcing habits of virtue in wayward child
has been taken.
We are hoping to form men and women
by literature and science, but all in vain.
We shall learn in time that moral and reli-
gious culture is the foundation and strength
of all true cultivation; that We are deform-
ing human nature by the means relied on
for its growth, and that the poor who re-
ceive care which awakens their CON
sciences and moral sen timents start under
happier auspices than the prosperous, who
place supreme dependence on the education
of the intellect and taste. It is the kind,
not the extent of knowledge, by which the
advancement of human being must be
measured; and that kind which alone exalts
a man is placed within the reach of all.
Moral and Religious Irlah-this is the
treasure of the intellect, and all are poor
without it. This transcends physical truth
as far as heaven IS lifted above the earth.
