The Bee Buzz.

The schooling of children has become
one of the most pressing and practica
questions. 1t is no longer matter OF
fashion, nor a matter of taste, nor ques
ton of money; it is a practical neces
sity.
What will your sons and daughters do;
What can they do? the world asks.
The kind and degree of education they
have had must to great extent answer
the question.
The business of running the world was
never so sharply defined, nor so closely
classified.
AS the world becomes scientific, il
grows exacting.
1t is every man to his own trade and
every one in his proper place, as never
before.
The modern mill of Life is wound up
to produce certain results and the person
who does not do his part and do it well
must, sooner or later, get left. This is
SO of necessity. The more populous and
civilized country becomes, the more
exacting must be tits questions of econ
omy.
Inventions lessen the labors of the
muscles and multiply those of the brain.
Mere labor of the hands takes the back
seat; it is the head that runs the machine.
One machine will do the work of many
hands; and skilled labor requires a
trained and cultured mind.
The more art, the more science. No
one can make the best use of any mate
rial without knowledge of its properties
and values. All this means education.
: Education means the study of the nat
ural sciences and the history of the world
and the principles of art, etc.
Now, one can do almost anything bet
ter with education than without it.; and
many things no one can do at all without
an education. And, other things being
equal, the educated man or woman has
the advantage every time. A persons
place and work in life.
One without education must of neces-
sity be limited to some manual labor or
unprofessional Office work; while the one
of higher culture can not only labor with
his hands, if he chooses, but readily en-
gage in any trade or profession in the
whole range of the service of man.
A man who has never been in school
may be able to raise corn or carry brick
and mortar, but you could not expect him
to draw the plans for building; nor
keep a set of books; nor run telegraph
office; nor edit newspaper.
What can you do? How much school
ing have you had? The district school
will prepare one for certain kinds of
work. The grammar school course will
give you larger range. If mental
knowledge and training, the High school
will fit you for other grades of useful
ness. The university will give you a
general preparation for all trades and
professions and, at least, fifty prepare
you to choose what your special work in
life shall be.
The Importance of the higher education
cannot be doubted. The necessities of
the world demand it. In Massachusetts,
each town of 1000 population or more is
required BY law to support high school
free. Experience proves that it pays.

Sorrow is not an accident occurring
now and then. 1t is the wool which is
woven into the warp of life and he who
has not discerned the divine sacredness
of sorrow, and the profound meaning
which is concealed in pain, has yet to
learn what Life is. The cross, manifest
ed as the necessity of the highest life,
alone interprets it.

Daniel Blackman of Chicago, son of
Reuben Blackman of Newtown, who liv-
ed on the site of David G.. Peck's house,
has visited his sister, Mrs Bryant Smith

L of Mrs D. B. Beers's house and hung

any aid from him in her work. His

A huge Japanese parasol suspended
from the ceiling is the most noticeable
object on entering the new furniture
warerooms of A. G.. Baker at Hawley-
vile. Attention is quickly drawn from
this, however, to the extensive display
of furniture of elegant material and rich
design and finish, with which the entire
floor space of the 40x90 building is occu-
pied. There are chamber suits of mod
ern antique design, cherry, mahogany,
ash, oak, etc., with chairs of odd design
but restful upholstery; tables finished in
satin smoothness; all the assortment
found in first class furniture store, ip-
Guiding not few articles of bric-a-brac
and fanciful handiwork. The business
is in the hands of E. FL. Pitcher of Rox-
bury Falls, who is a practical finisher
and is busy putting the finish on the walls
of the warehouse, which are covered with
paper and finished with moulding at the
top and about two feet from the bottom.
Both upstairs and down are treated alike.
The free reading and waiting room for
which Mr. Baker deserves the thanks of
the travelling public will be at the en-
trance of the store, including one of the
bay windows; above this will be the Of
flee. The other window will be filed
with baskets and light ornamental fur
niture, arranged artistically. Easy stairs
ascend to the second story, whose floor,
in the main building, consists of little
more than interior balconies protected
by iron ratings. At the rear, however,
and in the wing. there is space for deal
of furniture. Six car loads have been
for week or more. Mr. Baker
has all things in readiness for a thriving
trade and it is the wish of all that he may
meet with success.

Why do they come, these little ones
that enter our homes by the gateway
of suffering, and that linger with us a
few months 'utteriug no works, smil'
ing in a mysterious silence, yet speak
ing all the time of the purity and
sweetness of heaven? Why must they
open the tenderest fountains Of our
natures only to leave them so soon,
chokcd with the bitter tears of loss
It is impossible wholly to answer such
questions of the tortured heart; but
one can say, in general, that these lit
tie temporary wanderers from q celes-
tial home come and go because of the
great love of God. 1t is an inestima-
Die blessing to have been the parent
of a child that has the stamp of heav-
Ell upon its brow, to hold it in ones
arms, to minister to it, to gaze fondly
down into the little up-turned face,
and to rejoice in the unsullied beauty
of its smiles, and then to give it back
to God at his call, with the thought
that in heaven, as upon earth, it is
still our own child, u member of the
household, still to be counted always
as one of the children whom God hath
given us. Such love chastens and
sanctifies the hearts of father and
mother, carries them out beyond time
and sense, and gives them hold upon
the unseen. AS things of great value
always cost, it is worth all the sorrow
to have known this holy affection,
and to have this treasure in heaven.-

HI Should Die Tonight.

II I should Gie tonight, s,,o
NV friends would look upon my quiet lace,
Before they laid 1t In Its resting-place,
And deem that death had left u allnost lall
And, laying snow-white flowers against my
Would smooth it down with fearful tender
And fold my hands with lingering caress:
Poor hands, 80 empty and SO cold tonight
If should die tonight, ,., ,o,.,,.
My friends would call 10 mlna' WIFI io'ins
some kindIy deed the icy hand had wrought;
soma gentle word the frozen lips had said;
Errands on which the willing feet had sped
The memory of my selfishness and pride;
NV nasty words would all be put aside.
And so should be loved and mourned TO-

II should die tonight,
Even hearts estranged would turn once more
Recalling other days remorsefully.
The ewes that chill me with averted glance
Would look upon me as or yore, perchance'
And soften in the old familiar way,
For who could war with dumo' UNCONSCIOUS
Soil might rest, forgiven Of all, tonight.
O! friends, pray tonight,
Keep not your kisses for my deau colu pro"
The way is lonely; let me feel them now.
Think gently of me; am travel, worn: o
Ny faltering feet are pierced with many
Forgive, o! hearts estranged. forgive
When dreamless rest Is mine shall not need
The tenderness for which long to-nlght:
