COMMITTEE.
THE SOURCE FROM WHENCE LIGHT CoMETH.
A certain man in Eden possessed of ample cheek
Lately on education gave notice he would speak
And show thatin acquiring il, school houses wan
| concerned;
But by travel, and experience, things Away
could be learned.
He said that his great wisdom was not obtained
| at skule,
But all his bright ideas were thumped in by
mule
He talked of his integrity; of his genius to in
And in travelling by railroad the money he ha
spent
Told how he'd placed a boulder as q monumen
for his dead,
But on his education subject, JetO were the word
he said.
He told things he accomplished, and said tina
| they were facts;
But said to build school houses-they were lille
gal acts!
The old one was all right he said, by plasterin
up the cracks,
! And if they built new one he'd never pay hi
tax.
And finally, to close, he told Gas though none {
them knew,
, His ignorant backwoods audience, how roaste
peanuts grew.
