The Tramp.
Y L.. b.

In the ancient world, the want!ercr was
received with hospitality. To turn a
stranger away from ones door was not
only deemed cruel but an offense against
the gods. In our modern world, howev-
er. conditions are so changed that the
homeless yagrant is regarded as nui-
sanee, and is driven from our doors with
blows. He is called a tramp, and mu-
inequalities pass enactmen:s TO imprison
and punish the idle and homeless poor.
Women especially dread the tramp. and
with reason, for the papers are filed with
stories of outrages committed BY some CT
these wandering ohtcas.s. But there are
tramps anl tramps. One of the fraterni-
ty the other day discovering broken

If train came by, hundreds of people
would probably be killed or mutilated.
and despite the faet that he was hungry,
cold, aud thinly clad, lie remained on the
wind-swept tack for over an hour, aud
although so numb and fatigucd he could
scarcely give the signal, yet he managed
to stop the train aud save the passengers.
He Was well rewarded for the service he
had done, as he deserved &c be; but would
it not be well to bear in mind that many
tramps are such from necessity and not
because of any innate deprayity. Ont of
the vas. mass of homeless poor, only a
few. very few, are i'll disposed, and it is
these ruifians we unfortunately hear nioss
about. In hard times. the country roads
are filled with these vagrants walking
from village to village, in vain search of
work. but in prosperous periods they
generally disappear and take their place
in the ranks Of labor. After all, those
whc are very poor aad ieneless are so
on account Of want Of economical habits.
Sometimes it is true they are Incorporate

On Books and Education.

| For the Southern Sentinel:
What are books? Books are the con-
densed ideas of different men.
Ii is a great deal of satisfaction for us
to sit down, and peruse the interesting
pages of a good book. Books pursue us
sent -mindedness.
The aim of education i5, to show our
| youth the broad line of demarkation be-
tween those things, which can bc owned
but by one; and those, which can be
owned and enjoyed by all. Ii OWN 4
ship, house. 4 farm, or mass of metals
called precious, my right to them is, in
its nature sole and exclusive. No other
man has a right to trade with my ship.
to occupy my house, to gather my har-
vests, or appropriate my treasures to his
nse. They are mine, and are incapable
of both sole and joint possession. But
not so of the treasures of knowledge !;
which is the duty Of education TO difiasc
The same truth may enrich, or enable all
intelligence at once. Infinite diffusion
substracts nothing from depth. None are
poorer, because others are made rich. In
this part of divine economy, the privilege
of primoseniture attaches to all; and ev-
cry son and daughter of Adam, is an heir
to an infinite patrimony.
When the means OF education through
out our country. are as free as the air we
breathe, and every family shall have its
Bible; then. and not till then, shall we
exert our proper influence for the cause
of man. Then, arj not till then, shall
we prepared to rise up. aud stand forth,
between the oppressor and the oppressed;
and say to the proud wave Of domination.
''Thus far thou shalt come, aud no far
ther." Tho best book is the beck which
makes yon think most. The hardest way
of learning. is by easy reading. But a
great. book that comes from great
