ed out into the ranks of these who

After twelve or fourteen years of age
waste no time over books save the
hours you can rest in from your life
work. Reading, writing and arith-
metic are the three great and only
tools whereby learning is acquired.
They enable you to acquire all, they
open all the doors Of the vast temple.
If you have your living to make
you have no time to waste in ,ooling
with Latin, Greek or anything that
does not pertain to your calling.
The curse of our educational system
is that it wastes too many years Of
youth in useless studies and in sed-
entary habits that sap the vigOr and
stamina needed for active life.

indoors. Shun the professional life
unless you have an unconquerable
prediction for it, and some means
of self support while making your
early way therein. If you are a
genius, or what is worse, if you
think you are, "God help you"-
these remarks do not apply. To
sum up all in few words, shun the
ways Of the idle book reading gener-

are swarming forth from every
school and college in the United
States, budding into teachers, bios

THERE are over twelve million
dollars in the United States Treas
ury for cotton taken from the South
during the war. Much of this cot.
ton belonged to families that were not
only loyal but that suffered incon-
Geivably because of their attachment
to the government and were driven
from their homes, scattered, and
many of them murdered by rebels.
Yet the policy of the government il
to hold all this money, and all the
facts as II profound secret. 1t is not
lawful to give out any information
by which any claim may be brought
against the government. Some two
millions worth of cotton was taken
from one plantation alone and all
track has been lost of the family
that owned it, every member of
which was in all probability destroy
ed ere they could escape to the
North. The name is known, yet
the whole is kept as n profound
secret.-Republic

AS the endeavor to carry the 4th
district of Missouri has given u ma
tiOnal interest to the contest, the fol-
lowing may be of interest. Every
county in Burnes' old district of
Missouri gave republican majorities
but one, Platte, whose big majority
returned Col. Wilson, the democrat
candidate. The colored people of
that county almost unanimously
voted for Wilson and this elected
him. They serenaded him the other
night and Wilson addressed them
in a style that shows how the ex-
slave holder can play the demagogue
for colored votes as well as the best
or worst of us: mo one knows bet
ter than I, having been born among
the colOred people and lived with
them all my life, what means have
been employed to array you against
your natural friends. They have
appealed to the prejudices of race;
they have scrupled at no falsehood
to excite you against us.
And now, my colored friends and
neighbors, standing here upon this
eminence, with nothing between us
and the stars, express to you my
thanks again, and again, for your
devotion to me when hard pressed
last Tuesday; and in the sight of
Heaven declare on the part of the
democracy of Old Platte that we
welcome you to the lines of the old
Tenth Legion, and will stand by
you as close as brothers, come veal
or woe in the future. Our destiny
shall be yours, yours shall be ours.

Good Letter Writers.

Men are not as good letter writers
As women" was remarked by young
professor whose business it is to touch
up people in the little accomplishments
of this life" as he put it.
1t must be confessed that the men of
the present generation have fallen off
in this respect. There are no more
Thackerays, or Lambs, or Johnsons.
and the pens of Irving and Dickens
have been dry for many year. The
masculine part of the world is becom-
ing commercial. Men have no time,
even i'll the matter of love. to write of
anything save business. and you know
they are not even given to that, for the
typewriter has brought them relief. In
travels men do not t'linger" or muse"
~ they used To do. A gentleman who
not long ago was directed by guide
to the grave of Juliet. after telling of
the visit as he would tell of trip to
Western avenue. was asked what emo
tions he had As he stood at the spot,

Singular enough. while running along
in this vein. Young Chicago merchant
on Washington street called me into

you an extract from letter which
received from my girl this morning"
And it WAS letter for which he had
good reason Of being proud. II was
one OF those letters which. like Long
fellows poems, ''gashed from the
heart" and was Just the way in which
she would have said it il she had been
here" rs the proud young man put it.
His after confession was short Of
gem in its way. "Do you know" he
said interregatively, that about all
