Friendship.

Friendship, to every willir mind, Opens q heavenly t,esSst, ,e; There may the sons ot sot row find Sources of real pleasure. See what employmcnts men pursue, Then you win own my words are true, Friendship alone unfolds to view
 Sources ofreal pleasure. Poor are the joys which fools esteem, Fading and transitoly; Mtrth Is aS fiectinE aS u dream
 Or delusive story. Luxury leaves a sting behind, Wounding the body and the mind; Only in friendship can we find
 Pleasure and solid glory. Beauty, with all it's gaudy shows,
 Is but painted bubble; Short is the triumph it bestows,
 Full of deccit and trouble; Fame, like D shadow, fees away; Titles and dignitics decay; Nothing but friendship can display
 Joys that are free from trouble. Learning, that boasted, glittering thing, Scarcely is worth possessing; Riches, forever on the wing,
 Cannot be called a blessing; .... Sensual pleasures swell desire, Just as the fuel feeds the fire; Friendship can real bliss inspire,
 Bliss that is worth possessing. Happy the man who has afriend
 Formed by the God ofNature; Well may he feel and recommend Friendship for his Creator. Then, as our hands fin friendship join, So let our social powers combine, Ruled by passion most divine,
 Friendship with our Creator.

MORALITY IN THE SCHOOL.
HAtsrY. Sept. 10th. 1888.

HALsEY, Sept. 7oth, 1888.
The time has come when 1t is absolutely
necessary for the teacher 10 train the heart
as we'll as the head. It Is not enough to
teach the subjects Of the textbook, but i i
Of the utmost importance that sound
morality be taught as well.
There are many gross evils Permeating
our body polite, which threaten to break
forth into pestilence that shall carry
death and desolation before 1t and lay waste
the glory of our nations honor. Simultan.
eously with the voice Of the tescheris heard
the voice OF the American demagogue-
the curse Of curses by which a free gov.
ernmentis cursed. A Acommunfstic element
Is at work In our county,the spirit Of which
Is carried out, would dissolve society, break
up citizenship, place our homes at the
mercy Of vagabonds and tramps, and render
our fields and gardens trackless waste.
The great cry Of the homes Is "reforms" In
politics, temperance, education and relig-
ion. But how Is this reform - be accom-
plished II Is manifestly the work Of the
teacher. II he does not the woIk Il will
never be done. II the vast amount of
preaching and bowling about reform by
shams and quacks could be stopped, and all
OF our energies, time and means, that arc
now expended to little or no purpose, could
be devoted to the education and training Of
the children In virtue, honesty, truthful
ness and sobriety reform such as the
world has never known would speedily
come. But we can not hope for great re-
suits soon. Revolutions and reformatiors
are not the work of day, but Of years and
often centuries. WHAT'S done In the mat
ter Of reform must be done through tho
agencies Of our schools, and the work will
be laborious and slow. Upon the should
ers of our 100000 teachers rests the burden.
The role of the reforner IL forced upon as,
The youth are TO be trained for society
and citizenship. The teacher has assumed
that responsibility, and II he prove false to
his trusts, God and the world will not hold
him guiltless. Teachers, are we prepared
10 do this work, or do we need reforming ,
May God help Us. as teachers of the young,
TO begin this great reformation in our own
hearts, and then carry 1t with such burning
enthusiasm into our schools that our pupils
will catch the spirit from us, and then re-
form will indeed have been commencedi in
earnest.
