care they few that be saved?" Not
so very few, when the final reckoning
comes to be made; for in the Fathers
house arc many mansions, and that house
is to be "6lled." Not SO very few; for
the Saviour is to see of the travail of his
soul and be satisfied, and He who died
for all, would not be satisfied with few
souls as his recompense. But the saved
will be far fewer than they might have
been; and the failure will be wholly
their own fault-simply because they did
not strive" and strive in time, to enter
into that gate Of whose straightness they
were forcwarned. They thought it better
to ''labor and tug and strive" for the
worlds wealth, honor, and pleasure, Of
which the most utterly failed, With the
same effort they might have won the
riches and glory of heaven. Reader,
will the number of the saved be one less
than it might have been, for lack Of your
name written among them?

Miss A. E. Earle, who modestly holds
the reins at Shiloh Academy, though
prevented from meeting the Association,
thoughtfully sent us well-prepared
essay on the subject assigned her. We
thought of publishing it, but inasmuch
as it is probable the Executive Commit
tee will call another meeting of the AS
sociation in few weeks, we shall request
Miss Earle to give the teachers the ben
eft of it then. Miss Bette is thoroughly
alive to all the interests of the cause she
loves, and wishes to shirk no duty, as is
evidenced by sending the essay.

The Misses Dalrymple and Cole, of the
Tugalo Academy, have onr thanks for a
correct solution of the cat problem, and
for their very pressing invitation to re-
peat our visit. Now then, young ladies,
a little advice. Repair your school
house this summer. What, can we tx
the house? Yes, indeed; you can, if
YOU will. Three or four determined girls
in any community can patch the old
weather-worn school house, and do it
easier and at less expense than any other
class. You can do the talking and smil-
ing and your sweethearts will do the
work. Just. tell the boys in that neigh
borhood that the work must be done and
they will doit. Suppose you make the
effort.

The question box was appointment and
interesting feature of the occasion.
Many questions, both instructive and
amusing, were answered. Some pro.
voked animated discussions, and gave
occasion for considerable merriment.
Trutees J. B. Watson, j. Ell. Rainey,
Matthias Richardson and j. Cartee were
present, and, by their counsel and ap'
proval, contributed no little to the sue.
cess of the occasion. Among these gen.
tlemen there was considerable diversity
of opinion as to the best time for holding
the Teachers Institute. We desire to
hold the Institute when majority of the
teachers are idle. In our judgment, the
month of June is distinctiyely the idle
month among teachers. MIR. Richardson
thought September or October would suit
better for the Institute. we would be
glad to hear from Trustees and teachers
generally as to that. We would be gov
erned by the time that will be most con-
venient for the majority. Of course,
there are some schools that will run nine
or ten months during the year. In such
cases, the patrons must be generous and
economical enough to allow their teach
ers to suspend their schools so long as
the Institute lasts. Let US hear from any
interested party.
We think it worthy OF special mention
that Misses Mamie Wilson and M. E.
Callahan came sixteen miles to partici-
pate in the exercises of the meeting.
Brim full of enthusiasm for the success
of the cause, they were undaunted by
the threatening appearance of the
weather, but drove up in time for the
opening exercises. May not some of the
teachers of the sterner sex learn useful
lesson from their determined conduct?
Miss Wickliffe, the sprightly assistant
in the Hartwell High School, honored
the Association with her presence, and
expressed herself as highly pleased with
the way teachers do things on the east
side of the Savannah. When Georgia
sends such representatives, they are vel
come.
We would not close this notice of the
Association without thanking Miss Nora
Hubbard and her we'll trained school for
that delightful exercise already mention
ed by Mr.. G. o. Burriss, the efficient
Secretary. After some hesitation, Miss
Hubbard agreed to give the teachers an
ocular demonstration of the success of
her efforts to teach her school Calisthen-
les since the close of the Teachers lnsti-
tute last summer. To say that all pres
ent we're delighted with the performance
would be but to repeat what has already
been said in the columns of this paper
and on the streets. The neatly costumed
girls and boys behaved themselves with
noticeable correctness and precision,
eyincing close attention to instruction
and rejecting credit upon themselves not
only, but upon their pains-takiDg and
faithful teacher.
In. spite of the disagreeable weather,
the first session of the Teachers Asso.
citation was to some of US an enjoyable
and profitable occasion.

Pure Luck.

"Talk about luck" says Colonel A. R.
McGill, State insurance commissioner of
Minnesota, and then he proceeds to tell
this story, on the truth of which he is
willing to stake his chances for the next
gubernatorial nomination. When, in
the Spring of 1862, the army of the Po.
tomac moved into the Notifications at
Manassas and Centerville, which had
been vacated by the Confederates, the
boys spent much Of their time gathering
relics from the battlefield of Bull Run to
send home to their friends. One day q
gawky member of the Fourth New York
brought in an uncxploded percussion
bomb and proceeded to draw the load
before sending it away. He might, if
he had had brains enough to last him
over the door sill, have taken it to an
artillcryman and had it safely unloaded,
but instead of this he took it to the
blacksmith shop, where, with hammer
and cold chisel he sat down in the middle
of the floor, took the bomb between his
legs, placed the chisel in the brass screw
at the point, and gave it smart lick with
the hammer. The next instant the
atmosphere was dense with disintegrated
blacksmith shop. A section of the
batting roof had business over in anoth-
er County, and chunk of the side wall
went down to visit a neighboring camp.
Pieces of iron and steel that were once
tools took All immediate vacation aud fled
to parts unknown. In short, the shop
was demolished.
"But what of the mau !" we asked of
Colonel McGill.
HES the chap l was coming to.
When the boys rushed over to see what
was the matter, there he sat, bolt upright
in the debris, with his legs straddled out,
hammer in one hand and cold chisel
in the other, and trying TO spit hair off
the end of his tongue. by gosh,' he
said, as lie slowly crawled to his feet, I
guess the folks 'home'll have to git along

= Lemonade is said to be one of the
best and safest drinks for any person,
whether in health or not, being suitable
for all stomachc disorders and excellent
in sickness. Lemon juice is the best
anti-scorbutic remedy known. If the
gums arc daily rubbed with lemon juice
they will be kept in health. BY the
daily use of lemon instead of soap, chill
blans will be prevented and the hands
kept white, soft and supple. 1t is also
said that neuralgia may be cured by rub

the same in the Produce exchange or the
Cotton Exchange, where by the way
there was slaughter Of the innocents
last week. 1t would seem If there was
nothing unusually exciting about eggs
and butter, and yet there are plenty of
days every week when casual observer
would think that all the eggs in the
world were smashed, and all the butter
was melted. In all of these places the
great body of the men who make them
up have pale, hard, careworn look, and
they never seem at ease. Here and
there you meet fat, sleek, comfortable
looking person, who eats we'll and drinks
we'll, and sleeps we'll. They belong to a
class which like the good cat comes down
on its feet every time. John Mccullough
broke down the same way, and the life of
William Fl. Vanderbilt was snuffed out
like the light of a candle. Oh, these
colossal fortunes, they are purchased at
terrible cost. Jay Gould is very rich
man but he walks with spectre at his
back, and when he leaves his palatial
home in the morning he is by no means
certain that he will reach it alive at
night; few love him, thousands execrate
his very name, and it is not improbable
that some desperate wretch brooding
over his losses and his ruin, may some
day send him to the happy hunting
grounds. For years old Morisini was his
body guard, but now the old man stands
in need of body guard of his own.
Since the death Of poor Heath he is hated
almost as much as Gould, and of the
