WORDS OF Mr.. PEABODY
after Thirty Years, the Trustees Nav
Distribute Principal.
IF TW0-THlRDs OF The BOARD AGREES
The Association Of City School Supe7intendens
Yesterday Adopted a Resolution 10
Memor iaIize the Board of
Iiustees.

Yesterday morning, at tho closing scs-
School superintendent of North Caro-
lima, the following resolution was
adopted:
Resolved. That a committee of three
be appointed to memorable the Peabody
Board of Trustees 10 expcnd. for addi-
tional normal instruction in the State.
at as early a period as may be practi-
cable, such portion OF the fun as North
Carolina may seem to be entitled to re-
ceive under Mr.. ~Peabody's requests of
February !, 1867, and June %. 1869.
Resolved, That the committee be IN
structed to convey to the board our
thanks for the timely assistance which
has so often been given TO the various
schools of the State and the help extent
ed to our normal schools and Institutes,
and our gratitude to Hon. ]. L. NJ. Curry.
for his inspiriting and invaluable services
to the cause of public education through
out the State and the SOUTH
The significance of this resolution is
somewhat as follows:
In George Peabody's letter creating
the trust, under date of Washington,
February Z, 1867, after the
ment of the gift Of one million dollars
to the trustees addressed, to be by them
and their successors used for the pro-
motion and encouragement of education
in the more destitute portions Of the
Southern and Southwestern States of the
Union, occurs the following paragraph:
Il Furthermore give to o the power,
in case two-thirds the trustees shah at
any time, after the lapse of thirty years,
doom, II ovpa1iant 10 clCCo +h;c t,,,ct
and, of the funds which at that time
shall be in the hands of yourselves and
your successors, to distribute not less
than two-thirds among such educationa
o. literary institutions, or for such edu-
catiOnal urposes, as they may determine
in the States for whose benefit the in
come is now appointed to be used. Tho
remainder may be distributed by the
trustees for educational or literary pu"-
poses, wherever they may deem it eX-
pedient."
Mr.. P~eabody's letter of June Goth.
1869, informing the trustees of his fur
Their gift Of one million dollars in secur-
tiles, contains this paragraph:
All the stocks | have given as above
are to be held in trust by yourselves
and your successors. for the same our-
poses and unde the am conditions as
the funds given you by my original lcttc1
creating your trust.
What does this mean?
Does it not seem to be that the trus-
! tees can by a tWo-thirds' vote, after the
lapse of thirty years, take t%O-thirdS OF
the principal sum and distribute il
among such educational institutions III
the South as they may deem proper
This would mean that, if tWO-thirdS
of the PcaborY trustees chose, they
! could give to the South, for her cduca-
tional needs, something like tlSo-thirds
Of two million dollars, or 81 ,333, 3333.

age and felt its rays warm his soul like
an answer TO his prayer.
Arrived at the Doctors house. he
seized a stone and struck the door with
a violence that brought the physician to
the window with the startled inquiry:
Who is there?'
It's me, Charlie Gaston-My Mama's
sick-she's awful sick, I'm afraid she's
dying-you must come quick
All right, sonny, III be ready in a
minute
When the boy saw the doctors horse
jogging quickly toward his home he turn
ed the mares head aside as he reached
the court house square, reused the
Preacher, and between his sobs told the
story of his mothers illness.
4 want you and DR.. Durham to come as
quick as you can. I'm afraid to go home.
I'm afraid she's dead, or I'll hear her
laugh that awful way l heard tonight"
of course we Will come, dear, right
away. We will be there Almost as soon
as you can get to the house."
He rode slowly along the silent street
looking back now and then for the
Preacher and his wife. AS he was pass
ing a small deserted house he saw to
his horror a ragged man peering into

run, the man stepped quickly up to the
mare and said,
who lived here last, little mani"
odd Miss spurlin,' answered the boy.
Where is she now?"
She's dead
The man sighed, and the boy saw by
his gray uniform that he was a soldier
just bach from the war. and he quickly
added,
Folks said they had a hard time. but
Preacher Durham helped them lots when
they had nothing to eat"
so my poor old mothers dead. |
was afraid of it." He seemed to be talk
ing to himself. "And do you know where
her gal is that lived with herr"
shes in a little house down in the
| woods below town. They say she's a bad
woman, and my Mamma would never let
me go near her
The man finched as though struck with
a knife, steadied himself for a moment
with his hands on the mares neck and
said.
You're a brave little one to be out
alone this time o'night,-what's your
%nane?'
Charles Gaston.'
Then you're my Colonel's boy-many
a time | followed him where men were
fallin' like leaves-I wish to God | was
with him now in the ground. Don't tell
anybody you saw me,-them that knowed
me will think I'm dead, and it's better
so"
"Good-bye, Sir" said the child I'm
sorry for you if you'v got no home. I'm
after the doctor for my Mama,-she's
very sick. I'm afraid she's going to die,
and if you ever pray | wish you'd pray
for her"
The soldier came closer. 4 wish !

to me | forgot every thing that was good
in the war, and there's nOthin' left but
death and hell. But I'll not forget you,
good-byc!"
When Charlie was in bed, he lay an
hour with wide staring eyes, holding his
breath now and then to catch the faint
est sound from his mothers room. All
was quiet at last and he fell asleep. But
he was 10 longer u child. The shadow
of a great sorrow had enveloped his
soul and clothed him with the dignity
and fellowship OF the mystery of pain.

The proper study of mankind is,-not

this, the museum Of birds would not he
