pie. 1t matters not whether it be
political, educational, or religious,
an institution that is always beg
ging, will become, if not a public
nuisance, at least q private terror.
Then when these calls do come, as
they must occasionally, at once
rally around your school and place
it on standing basis.
You, ladies, have already done
much, yet you are capable Of do
ing still more. Here you may erect
for yourselves and for your coun-
try q monument whose base rests
upon the earth but whose summit
will tower to heaven. Your ener-
gies are too useful, your influence
too noble to be spent in erecting
monuments over dead men and
lost causes. If the dead are not
worthy to live in history without
stones erected by more worthy
hands, let them sink into the OBJ
livion they deserve. Give if YOU
can, but crumb, to the living.
God will provide for the dead.
Here you can build for a people
and for living cause. Lay deep
and strong your foundation, build
high thereon; it will be to you g
monumentum we're perennios.
Your children and children's chill
dren will be benefited by your lib
erality; a prosperous and happy
community will bless you for your
work when you are dead and bu-
Ii I'd in the earth.

1CcCctt VI SOIhcDOuYelSc. IL you &C
knowledge the divinity Of the bi-
BILE, you must believe that the
mind in the future state will be
cognizant Of it's acts in this life,
and consequently will retain it's
knowledge. No one knows the des-
tiny Of the disembodied mind, but
SO far as revealed, the tendency,
unless thwarted by sinister caus-
es is upward towards a higher de-
gree Of perfection. Reasoning
from the analogy of nature we find
the progress OF the mind to be ev-
er onward towards higher powers
Of perception and grandcr results
in it's achievements. Who would
believe that from an object SO triv.
ial as an egg, there could ever be
developed the beauty Of the bird
|of-paradise, the feet wing Of the
swallow, or the heaven bound
fight Of the eagle? If from causes
SO insignificant there are such de-
velopments of beauty fleetness and
power, who can divine the ultima
tum Of the human soul that has
already made such achievements
in this world, when it quits the
tenement Of clay that holds it
bound to earth and wings it's way
to worlds unknown?
The child unborn is q sentient
being, but it's eye has never yet
opened upon the splendors of light
to behold the beauties Of form and
colors, it's ear has never heard the
sweet harmony Of sound, nor it's
palate enjoyed the pleasures Of
taste; but the death Of that fntal
existence is birth into this life
where all the perceptions of the
fine senses may be enjoyed to
greater or less perfection. The
declaration Of the great teacher
'thou shalt be born again. is no
unmeaning sentence, for the death
Of this existence is birth into a
still higher state of being. What
these may be the powers, the per
ceptions the acquisitions Of the
mind, we know not, but we do
know that the attainments Of this
life exert an influence in shaping
it's destination for eternity. What
ever refines and elevates man pre-
pares him to enter the next life on
a higher plain of existence. In
educating the youth you are build
ing both for time and eternity.
Though the things Of time and
sense are not without their charm,
who would not make reasonable
sacrifice Of his means for whatev-
er tends to mental elevation, since
the largest enjoyment Of this
worlds goods compared with the
endless cycles of eternity is but
the flight Of an arrow, the falling
of star, the twinkling Of an eye.
In building up your institution,
thus providing for the intellectual
wants Of your community, you
may show as much patriotism 40

SCHOOLS AND THEIR WORKS.
An Address Delivered i'm Easley Acad.
emy on the Evening Of 25th April,
by Prof. G. w. Moore,

tGoNA1NUED EXON LAST WEEK
The third and strong pillar in
the tenple Of science is Mathemat-
ics-higher mathematics. The
laws Of the science are as eternal,
universal snd Interchangeable as
the Deity himself; they we're en-
ployed by Creative Intelligence
when the material world was made;
the laws themselves were never
created. The mind Of man is so
constituted that whatever is eter-
nal, it acknowledges as such:
hence metaphysician have divided
truths into two classes, incidental
and essential. Incidental truths
exist for time, but may not ex-
ist always. The statement that
Easley is town, is an incidental
truth; it was not so hundred
years ago; it may not be 50 hun
dred years hence; but the simple
statement that twice two make
four, is mathematical fact and
an essential truth; for you cannot
conceive time when twice two
did not or will not make four. So
AL the laws Of mathematics are
just as essential and Interchangeable
as this simple statement, though
it may be more difficult to trace
the ratiocination and reach the
conclusion Of the more intricate
laws. The 43rd problem Of Eu-
clid-'The square on the hypothe-
nense of right-angled triangle
is equal to the sum Of the squares
OF the other two sides, was Just as
true from all eternity as it was af-
ter being demonstrated by the
great Geometrician. We speak of
men who publish works on this
science, as if they made rules and
laws; but the laws are not made,
they are only discovered, for they
have always existed. You cannot
find time when mathematical
A""S % NiN C|AlSI "AS more Cudu you
can find time when the great
first cause did not exist; the one
is co-eternal with the other. The
rules OF this science are the laws
employed by the Creator when
he made the material world. Ev-
crything tangible, from the small
lest atom that floats in the air, to
the most stupendous world that
wheels it's flight around it's allot-
ted centre has geometrical dimen
sion, such as length, breadth and
thickness. The minutest grain OF
earth that you tread beneath your
foot is geometrical body; place
it beneath the microscope and you
Will find it composed of granules
which are cubes. pentahedrous do

such figures. Plants put forth

goes crashing on it's deadly mis-
sion until it reaches it's destina-
tion through the same kind of
curve; and the geyser that spouts
it's columns Of smoking water up
wards towards the sky, sends
down its spray in obedience to the
same universal law Of falling bod
les. The earth on which we live.
like the other planets, is a spheri-
cal body, moving in an elliptical
orbit, with it's radius hector sweep
ing over equal areas in equal
spaces Of time. The comets that
from regions unknown, pay their
flying visits to our little system of
worlds, describe elongated ellipses,
returning at stated periods; or as
they approach the sun in rapid
flight, impelled by forces unknown
to us, describe parabolos or hyper
bolas and shoot back into the bo-
som of space to return no more for
ever. On creations now, when the
great Eternal proclaimed his first
decree, "Let there be light" the
first ray Of light that shot athwart
the gloom Of the mighty void on
it's mission Of love and JOY went
forth in obedience to a fixed law,
varying in intensity inversely as
the square Of it's distance. All
nature, animate and inanimate,
proclaim the mathematical precis-
ion with which the Great Builder
constructed the universe. Teach
your child the laws Of this science,
and you teach him to look out up
on the face Of nature and behold
on all things visible the finger
prints Of the Great Architect of
Heaven and earth.
About these pillars, other sci
ence may cluster, imparting to
them grace and beauty, but they
can never fill their places. Be not
bamboozled by the cry of practical
education, but maintain in your
school high standard of learning.
Encourage it, in the selection Of
accomplished scholars or teachers,
and in the education Of your sons
and daughters. If possible give
them knowledge Of some or all
of these sciences; if you are not
able to educate them as you would,
encourage them in seeking high
grade, and they may obtain it for
themselves. There may not be
one-tenth part Of what your child
learn at school directly practical.
yet it 10 all indirectly practical.
If you were to deny your child it's
sports and pleasures. so essential
to the development of mind and
muscle, because it is not going
to practice them in after life. YOU
would dwarf it's body and enfeeble
it's intellect--so he that would turn
all the currents Of education into
the channel Of the useful, instead
Of expanding and elevating, would
contract and degrade the power Of

Suicide Of Charley Ford.

RICHMOND, Mo-, May The
suicide of Charles Ford yesterday

nifty. He was temporarily at his
fathers house, near town. Early in
the afternoon he went to his room,
and soon after was found lying on
his back with q bullet wound
through his heart, and 'caliber
pistol lying beside him. Among
several theories as to the cause OF
the suicide one was that it was due
to remorse of conscience, another
on account of i'll health, and third
was that he was perhaps apprehen-
sive that Frank James would soon
be at liberty, and would seek re-
venge for Jesse's death. The Cor
oner's jury found that deceased
was an habitual morphine eater.
He left no letter. He appeared to
be in his usual spirits yesterday

It is an established fact that
fowls can be successfully Matched
with incubators. NJ, Koullier of
France, obtains 70 per cent. of his
chicks by hatcheries. He employs
80 men to supply orders and DIS
patches 10000 chicks annually in
patches of % to 100 by rail to
all parts of the country, and it is
estimated that the incubators of
France supply the market annually
with Is, 600, 900 of barndoor fowls.
1t is not really known who was the
diseoverer of the artificial incubator;
the Egyptians Matched eggs in the
sun, and others by means of heating
water, but it was not until the year
1878 that the idea was practically
solved by NJ. Roullier. 1t is some
what unaccountab]e that there are
not more engaged in the rearing
of fowls by artificial means in this
State, for most assuredly this is a
most favorable climate for such
business, as our long rainless sea-
son renders success in this direc-
ton doubly certain. Cold rain
storms during the Summer are
fatal to the young in some sections,
but here we are free from Sum

Democratic Probabilities.

WASHINGTON, May The Dem
ocratic politicians here are ct loss
to understa.d certain movements
Of the party leaders in New York i.
Notwithstanding Tilden's emphatic
refusal under any circumstances
to be the candidate Of the party, q
refusal which is accepted in good
faith as final by his most intimate
friends, several Of the States have
instructed or will instruct their del
egates to vote the old ticket in the
Democratic National Convention.
The query IL, For whom will Til
denis votes in the convention be
cast? There is great activity re-
ported among the Democrats of
New York, but it is not so clear IL
whose behalf the work is being
done. Oliver Payne says his father
will not be q candidate, but the
members of the Ohio delegation
who claim to be informed. ridi-
Guile his assertion. A we'll
known politician from New York
informed the Bulletin correspond
ent that the pins have already been
set up to send Payae delegation
to the State Convention from King
county. Tilden's friends in the
city and in the interior of the State
will, it is surmised, if this informa-
ton be true, also shape matters In
the interest of the Ohio candidate.
Flower is not considered as factor
in the fight, although he will have @
certain number of delegates who
will stand by him until they think
it is wise to make q change. The
mention of Cleveland as a candi-
date has q nauseating effect upon
the older Democratic politicians
here who say that mar of ma
tional repute and tried ability must
be chosen if the party wish to sue
coed. Senator Bayard has been
kept in the background by his sup
porters thus far, but he will be
doomed at the proper time. His
friends hope, if Blaine is the Re
publican candidate, that Bayard
can be nominated, believing that
he will secure the support of the
Independents in New York as we'll
as the full Democratic vote, thereby
insuring the Empire State to the
Democracy in November.
