Morning.

L nave vi tlt summit VI tIlt very
monarch of our great Southern Ale
ghanies and seen the night flee away be
fore the chariot wheels of the God of day
The stars receded before the pillars of
lambent fire that pierced the ztnith, a
thousand raggedmountaln peaks began to
peer up from the abysmal darkness. each
looking through the vapory seas that
filed the gorges like an island whose
cutting and confounded base was
swilled by the wild and wasteful ocean"
As the curtain was lifted more and more
and the eastern brightness grew i'll radi-
ance and in glory, animate nature pre-
pared to receive her lord; the tiny snow
bird from its nest i'll the turf began
chirping to its young; the silver pleas
ant sounded its morning drum-beat for
it's mate in the boughs of the fragrant
fir; the dun deer rising slowly from his
messy couch and stretching himself in
graceful curves, began to crop the tender
herbage; whilst the lordly eagle rising
straight upward from his home on the
crag, with pinions widespread, barred
his golden breast to the yellow beams
and screamed his welcome to the sun in
his coming! Soon the vapors of the
night are lifted up on shafts of fire, roll
ing and seething in pillows of refulgent
flame until when far overhead, they We're
caught upon the wings of the morning
breeze and swept away, perfect day were
established and there was peace. B.

Gen. Ludlow, II would devote my time
and resources principally to the educa-
ton of the children
That is, Gen. Ludlow believes i'll be-
ginning at the foundation. In the
school house and not i'll the parliament
is the destiny of any nation determined.
What is done i'll the parliament may be,
indeed always is being, undone. What
is done in the schOol-hOuSe abidcs. To
make il free Cuba, to keep Il free and
make freer America, all that is neceS-
sary is to keep always within reach of
every child the pure, liberty giving foun-
tains of knowledge.
In republic the profession of school
teacher is the noblcst of all because the

The DodGrr Nuisance.
The local newspapers are appreciated
and read in most of the families to which
they are sent, while the hand bills which
are pushed under every door are read by
very few. AS an advertising medium
these dodgers are simply waste of paper
and ink. The housemaid's broom
brushes them out of the veStibule on to
the sidewalk and the wind does the rest
Timid horses are frightened, sidewalks
and streets are Uttered, and all to no
practical purpose. The ordinance de-
signed to prevent the wholesale diStri-
button of these flying leaflets is very
proper one, and public opinion will most
emphatically sustain its passage and
rigid enforcement.-Phil Philadelphia Times.
Peter COopcr'S Way
The unveiling of the Peter Cooper
tablet in the building that was named
for him i'll New York not unnaturally
reminds us of the fact that there was
something good i'll the good old days,
not the least of which was the philan-
