~hild may get resdy to be president OF the
INIT d States and ride in lsndaulet. And
IA N Tie fact is taken into consideration
thar 40, one of our presidents ever went to
q commu.. school, the lucky pupil who first
reaches the presidential chair will be as
great discoversr as Columbus.
II is the high privilege of American
youlh TO look forward to the presidency,
and through the efforts OF old gentlemen In
gold spectacles who visit the schools, this
beautiful theory is encouraged and fostered.
We never saw one of these benign old Wis
itor vet who did not address the scholars
snd refer to George Washington aud a
cherry tree, and then they would stretch
their arms like the wings Of q tanning
goose, and offer the cheerful information
Spoys, perhaps there sits within the hear
ing of my voice future president OF the
| United Statesw
And then the boys would look around
| aud wonder which was the lucky urchin-
I,iss noticeable fact, however, that not one
| of these sanguine old gentlemen has vel
told the truth, aud that many OF these boys,
| by cultivating the virtues of a congress
nan, have been elected to the renttentiary.
For this reason We have no faith whatever
| in the fortune-telling propensities Of benigu
old gentlemen in gold spectacles-
But education is Q great thing, and he'ps
one along in life wonderfully. Look Al
| the ignorant man, snd'see how be is impos-
ed upon by those who have studied g,og-
| rsphy! We never saw q more affecting
case of The Disadvantages of ignorance than
the following truthful illustration from the
psn of that eminent divine, Rev. High
Daddy Prottsman.
| parents should look more carefully into
the education of their children. A neglect
| in this direction is apt TO entail endless
misery upon tn, ir offspring. Only last
night . youth lost three games OF seven-up
in Kinehorst's saloon, solely through his
ignorance of mathematics"
How can parents be so negligent about
their children's welfare?
There is another popular error into
which people are prone TO fall. More than
half our people regard Friday rs an un-
lucky dsy. Now this is altogether wrong,
and places FRIDAY in q bad light. True
Friday is hangmsn's day, and the unlucky
criminal may think it q peculiarly unlucky
idsy. But he only looks at one side OF the
case. When Bill Sykes murders John
Sunith for his money. and gets caught,
tried and condemned to be hung, he gels
religious. TIE ministers all flock around
BIN and the pro ress he makes Is aston
ishipg. he reads his Bible from morn
ing ill night, and slipgs in the hymns
while ne is resting. He becomes aware OF
the fact that he has been very wicked
MAJ, and is happy that he is now con-
ver;ed and his sins forgiven. People send
. him delicacies, the sheriff gives him bran
new shirt, his friends come TO bid him
goodbye, and be goes to the scaffold on
. Friday, "belween the hours of 8 o'clock in
the forenoon and o'clock in the after.
noon"
He then makes speech, and tells the
crowd that they must take warning BY him
and let whisky alone. He tells them that
he is going TO le,ve this world of sorrow
for the bright one above, where be hopes to
meet them all. And the next day the pa
pers say she died without q struggle"
!, Now, wasn't Friday the luckiest day in
E Bill Sykes life?
: Would Bill Sykes have ever got to
, Heaven if he hadn't been hung?
No sir; they made q christian OF him
and passed him straight through while be
, had chance.
!, And the trains for these emigrants al.
ways run on Friday.
Look at American history:
l Friday Christopher Columbus sailed on
his voyage Of discovery.
Friday, ten weeks after, he discovered
| America.
Friday, Henry VII. Of England gave
Cabot his commission, which led to the
{ discovery of North America.
Friday, St. Augustine, the oldest town in
the United States was founded.
: Friday, the Msyfower, with the pill
grims, arrived at Princeton, and on
. Friday, they signed that august compact
I the forerunner of the present constitution.
Friday. George Washington was born.
Friday, Bunker Hill was seized and for
tilted.
Friday, the surrender of Sarstoga wa
made.
Friday. the surrender of CORVALLIS o.
:, Yorktown occurred, and on
y Friday, the motion was made In congress
that the United States were. and of RICH
ought to be, free and independent.
So you see Friday is not an uplucky day
. and you can 60 fishing with as much hope
/ fulness upon that day as any other.

nature? Would you buy q patent right, /
