The world is a school in which all
are students and all are teachers. 1t is
given us to be aiders and abettors of
each others welfare, and he has not
learned the lesson who does not every
day surmount the fears and perplexities
OF the day before. To bring the bur-
dens of yesterday, which is not, into to
day, which is, is a mistake; to carry
them into to morrow, which never comes,
is equally reprehensible. The tradi-
lions and symbolisms of the past have
subserved their purposes and opened
the way for more perfect exposition
OF all that has grown out of them. 1t
remains for us of later days to more
carefully and thoughtfully weigh the
import and form of sound Words that
good and practical results be born to
the individual and to the race. "The day
is at hand and now is" that a full and
comprehensive knowledge of the esoter-
&c meaning of thoughts and things,
which include each other as the two
ends of staff, of all we see, hear and
feel, has become absolutely necessary to
true growth Of both child and man.
We must know for ourselves and no
longer permit others to do our thinking.
we have come to know that each. if he
would learn the secret of his own being
and its possibilities, must perform that
service himself. This is our foreor-
dalned privilege and duty, and must
be fulfilled some time and somewhere.

newspaper; to encourage moral and intellectual
improvement among the prisoners; to acquaint
the public with the true STATUS of the prisoner;
to disseminate pathological information and to aid
in dispelling that prejudice which has ever been
the bar sinister to fallen man s self-redemption.
The paper is entirely dependent on the public for
its financial support. If at any time there should
accrue surplus of funds. the money would be
expended in the interests of the prison library.

INCENTIVES TO CRIME.

There lies much truth in the saying
that not all the educators are inside the
schoolroom. The greatest number by
far are outside its walls. Not only do
we have live walking teachers of pro-
family and obscenity, but the pictorial
teacher of murder is publicly tolerated.
Illustrated newspapers, books and
theatre-boards are standing evidences
of this fact. BY having these highly
wrought, impassioned scenes constantly
brought before his attention, the most
sensitive natured boy will to some
extent become brutalized. That pro-
tective sense of horror which nature
has given him with the express purpose
of protecting him from the evil influ-
ences of the exemplifcation of crime,
is to some extent weakened by the
glaring pictorial placards displayed on
every boarding, and the minute &C.
counts of murder, robbery and swindle
OF which the average daily newspaper
affords such an abundance.
1t has been asked "why do crimes
continue and why do children, we'll
born sometimes, become abnormal
wretches?* Simply because they are
educated into criminals. The motives
which influenced them to lead Grim
inal lives were stronger than those
which induced them to lead pure true,
honest lives.
We have been told that we CULTI-
vATE crime. Can we justly refute the
accusation? We know that in many
cases the child before being born has
the soil in his nature prepared by the
parent, and as soon as he is ushered in
to the street the evil seed is planted
and when the young plant springs up,
its growth is promoted by pictures in
books, papers, circus and the theatre
posters, and when it is we'll developed
1T is further stimulated by the awful
and sickening accounts of crime in the
daily and weekly press On which has
been exhausted all the misdirected
talented effort Of the reporter. Through
this agency the child of tender years is
ushered into the sitting atmosphere of
the croWed courtroom and the sick
ening details of the criminal docket
are spread out before his bewildered
eyes. Through this medium he is in
to persons of so vicious nat
lres that the thoughtful person of
mature years stands aghast with hor-
'or contemplating the situation and
exclaims: "Why don't more of our
children become criminals?" And we
'epeat the question. WHY don't more
If our children become murderers.

It was with the utmost qualification
on the part of both rector and congre-
cation that the mnistrations Of Rev.
NJ. A. Johnson, D. d., over his new
charge at st. Paul's church, were so
auspiciously begun on last Sunday.
Large congregations were present both
morning and evening. and the services
we're rendered with zeal and interest
that could not be otherwise than in
spring. DR.. Johnson delivered two
very able and appropriate discourses,
in the morning from the text II am
the good shepherd, and in the evening
from the subject "Your old men shall
dream dreams, and your young men
shall see visions" The choir afforded
more than their usual efficient assist
ance. the offertory voluntary by the
quartette in the morning and the offer
tory solo by Edward L. Schempf in
the evening being especially well done

Street improvements.

In GAINESVILLE the common council
has come to the conclusion that it is
money thrown away to put gravel and
sand upon the streets. The same de-
cision was reached years ago in Mad
ison, where the streets are no longer
improved (?) in that way. Crushed
stone is used instead, and is found more
durable and in all respects better.
Here is a hint for the authorities in
this city worth considering. Fine
gravel and sand such as have been
used here make mud, and after being
put upon the street in the spring at
considerable expense, are carted off in
the fall at further cost, making a heavy
outlay in money and no substantial
improvement. Under the new system
inaugurated here Of having general
superintendent for all the wards whose
business it is to look after the streets,
there is a fine opportunity for the in
ception of wiser and more econom-
ical plans than have formerly pre-
vailed. Let us have street improve
ments that make our thoroughfares
better instead of worse, and stop
throwing away money foolishly.
