with the opportunity which it gave to

treatment to which he had referred.

a easement, which was little better than

the guards in the easement must have

two years before he was arraigned, and

To parents we would say, don't let
your boys and girls miss day from
school for any and every trivial excuse.
It may seem to you small matter just
to stay at home one day 10 the week, but
to your child and to the teacher it
amounts to much more than simply the
time lost. The consequences do not stop
there. Your child gets behind in his
classes and soon becomes discouraged
aud gives up and comes to the conclusion
that you think going to school is not of
much Importance, and hence loses his
interest in his school duties. See that
they go to school, and that they have
time to prepare their lessons at home,
and in every way you can second the
efforts of the teacher. We once had
boy and girl in our school whose father
and mother were fond of visiting, and,
on an average, about once week these
two children were kept st home to take
care of the other children, while the
parents went visiting, and every teacher
who has had experience knows the
result without our telling it.

One Sin.

Satan knows that one sin lived in and

out of heaven as many. One sin allowed
and countenanced, will spoil the sweet
music of conscience; one sin allowed
will make death as terrible and formid.
able to the soul as many. One hand.

to be troubled. and the joints of his loins

as one glass ofpoison will kill man, as
one act Of treason makes traitor, so one
sin loved and practiced, will ruin man
forever. Satan can be contentcd that
men yielded to God in many things,
provided they be true to him in son 9
one thing for he knows very we'll that
one sin allowed and lived in, gives him
as much advantage against the soul as
more. 1t is said of Naanan, the Syrian,
that he was valiant man, and vic.
torious man, and a great favorite with
his prince, but it is emphatically said
that he was q leper; so it may be said of
many, that they have great excellencies,
and perform such and such glorious
duties, but their one sin, allowed and
lived in, mars the beauty of all their
services. There mover was false pro

otherwise with him, I dare assure that

never catch up until you get rid Of the
negro. He is your dead weight. You

town of Clinton thronged with country
people to day just because it is county
court day. Our people don't do that.
Up north you can't tell court day from
auy other day. Now, if you could get
rid of the negro, and put the working
German in his place, they would make
more stuff on one acre than you make on
two Why don't your people get up
sooner and work harder?" a big whis
kerd countryman, who had been a silent
listener, spoke up in solemn voice and
said, "we don't have to-" The answer
surprised the northern man very much,
and set him back for q moment, but he
rallied and said, "Well, I know you
don't have to, but, ny friend, don't you
want to make more corn and more pota-
toes than you do?" II DON'T" said the
