THOUGH sound principles are highly
important in guarding the mind against
the invasion of error, we may value cur
selves upon them so much as to forget
that they can neither divest death of its
sting, nor quiet a guilty conscience. In
this case we may really be the worse for
our knowledge, and more obnoxious to
Divine displeasure than those who re-
main in state of innocent ignorance.

OF all lessons that humanity has to
learn in life's school, the hardest is to
learn to wait. Not to wait with folded
hands that claim life's prizes without
previous effort, but having struggled
gled and crowded the slow years with
trial, see no such result as effort seems
to warrant-nay, perhaps, disaster in
stead. To stand firm at such crisis of
existence,to preserve ones elf-pose and
self-respect, not to lose hold or to relax
effort, this is greatness, whether achiev-
ed by man or woman, whether the eye
of the world notes it, or it is recorded in
that book which the light of eternity
shall alone make clear to the vision,

opposition to the Blair Educational
Bill Senator Sherman wrote as fol-
low:
UNITED STATES SENATE,
WASHINGTON, ID. c., March "a l89U.
Mr.. II. Z. Smith, Editor the Gazette,
Cleveland Ohio:
My Dear Sir could not state
fully my reasons for voting against
the Blair bill in few words. Gen
erally it was because the whole con-
ditions have changed since voted
for the bill few years ago. The
South is now prosperous and is max
ing fair and reasonable e6o'ts to ed
ucate it's illiterate. A majority of
the Southern Senators oppo ed the
bill while the Northern Senators
were equally divided. In view of
the present demands upon the treas
ury for pensions and other things l
feel that an investment Of $77, ,OOO,-
600 is Of doubtful expediency for a
purpose that is now reasonably cared
for by each State by the inhabitants
thereof. l hight amplify these rea-
SONS, but it is not necessary.
Yours truly,
