Liberty.
concluded from First page.l

We have much physical freedom,
and, perhaps, that is the reason why
we have not more liberty of me
mind. The two ought to CORE
spond, but they do not. We sym.
|pasl.ize very much with slaves, and
are slaves ourselves in other ways.
We paid twenty millions, earned by
British labor, to emancipate the
West Indian blacks, and We would
not give half the money to emanci-
pate ourselves. On the contrary,
we pay Others more than this an
nually to prevent our emancipation.
|"Uncle Toms Cabin" appeals to
our hearts. We weep over Sterne's
Prisoner. We feel a pang of pity
even for the Gagged starting who cried
so plaintively, II can't get out"
And it may be that all the time we
are engaged in some spiritual or
moral dungeon, bound by shackles
and chains far worse than those OF
and surrounded by Cimmerian
darkness. The position commences
early in life, and those who are not
rescued by some kindly hand or by
their own energies, fall into apathy
and remain content with their lot.
Like those fishes with sightless eyes
in the underground rivers, they are
blind from birth and never long fol
the light. Nature shows us, every
where, liberty with law. Anarchy
lis foreign to the whole universe,
Philosophers like Lockete tell us wha'
lis liberty and what is not. But who
reads Locke? The poets sing o.
Liberty and all its glory. But who
cares for.the poets, people who tai
Into raptures over a primrose,
daisy, or a dandelion? Historians
tell US how men are made slaves or
free. Their ponderous tonnes lie
Undiscovered on the shelves. No,

grandmotherly government to tel
us what to do and how to live, anc
then all the rest may 60 as they
will, for "Britons never, never, vii

A BIT or HISTORY.

Osrusntown, Pa, We Once Called the
Capital q the Country.
A pupil in the Boys Grammar school,
ON lafayette street. Germantown, was
asked BY his teacher when the first
congress occupied the Germantown
academy, located on West School lane. "
It wa a puzzle. of course, to the young
scholar, who was at . loss to find any
thing in print verifying such an event
The facts, however, from which the
false impression has frequently obtained
are as follows: The government Of the
United States was first ipaugurated In
New York in 1889, but by act Of con-
gress PhSladelphia was made the capital
Of the nation from 1890 until 1900. In
1898 the yellow fever became epidemic
in this city, and ii was in October OF
that year that the governor Of Pennsyl-
vania asked the board Of trustees to nc
commodate the house Of assembly, and
. similar request for quarters came from
congress.
At the November meeting following
the board profered to congress the
choice Of the school building, but there
is no minute evidence TO show that con
gress accepted the generous offer. Al
this time Washington resided in German
town, and the town was spoken OF n
the government place Of the state, and
also Of the United StAtea Jefferson
then secretary Of state, and Randolph
attorney general. occupied the building
some years ago torn down to extend tn
site ON which the National bank nov
stands, at Main street and School lane
So, with Washington. Thomas Jefer
son and John Randolph residing Is Ger
mantown, IL is not strange that the con
clusion should be formed that congress
was in session at the same time. Al
|. though the Germantown academy neve
had the honor Of accommodating cor
gress, . few years later, in 1898. whe
the yellow fever made its appearance
again in this city, the banks Of Mort
America and Of Pennsylvania did find
temporary place Of safety in the oil
cademy.-Philadelphia Record.

The Worlds Common School
There are many ways of doing things
in shop and mill and store,
And some are very curious and some
are something more,
But one thing l have learned, It's
best, adopt one gen'ral rule
And use little common sense in the
school
We are learning something ev'ry day,
and no one knows it all
We are hunting for and storing
grains Of truth however small,
But when we're puzzled in our search
and try some proffered rule,
We turn to common sense to guide
the
school.
There are teachers that environ us
in many irksome ways;
There is knowledge that will flee
from us aud effort oft betrays.
We care not what the plan may be
which men adopt to rule
There's nothing like Old Common
Sense to
guide
h.
school.
We'll find that it is best to be in
averages" all right;
To keep our heads all bright and
clear-our lessons all in sight,
AND when it comes to gathering the
knowledge that will rule,
It's common sense will surely lead
tho
school.
In city schools the plan employ
when other "orders" fail;
When Systems clash aud "modes"
appear to falter under sail,
Just look aloft and see the clouds
go scudding far away,
When common sense asserts itself
and
wins
the day.
