passions of man, such as hatred,
avarice, envy, and the like, should
be clothed in this unseemly garb-
while the virtues, and the high

pirations, the pride of character
and the love of knowledge, all live
and grow, and move in the gentle
presence of agreeable manners.

polite, gentlemanly, and ladylike
behavior-good breeding call it
what you will-be it natural or
acquired, but that fine subtle
something that interests your
senses and wins your confidence,
like the flowers still wet with the

to your very soul, and all but in
spires you with admiration for the
beautiful presence. Oh, that each

Be genial, social, courteous,

My purpose is to enlist your
thoughts in the moral aspect of
education, and as the object of
education is to make one learned,
good, and useful citizens, it is
necessary that one be instructed
in habits and conduct as well as
in the principles of purely secular
studies. The school affords
good field for the cultivation of
correct habits and exemplary con-
duct. "As the twig is bent the
tree inclines"-now is the time
to cultivate habits of politeness
and decorum. Not alone in the
school, but at home. Also in the
constant and daily intercourse
with others, so that as the child
grows up these habits will become
fixed principles in the child's ma
ture, and in the natural ex-
pressions of ones own life.
Make department. a study.
Have personal pride in manners
and address. While storing the
mind with knowledge from the
textbooks, the intellect is ex-
panding under the tuition and in
fiuence of moral teachers.
1t has been truly said that char
acter is worth more than learn
ing, and whatever be the grade of
character this will be the stand
ard of ones reputation.
In proportion to aspiration for
success, place, and portion in life
should ones zeal be stimulated to
the requirement of such reputa-
tions as will invite confidence and
win admiration among ones ad-
mirers.
The heart must receive instruc-
tion as we'll as the head. The
emotional part of ones nature
give expression to the sort of per-
son one is, and while culture is
mainly a product of the intellect,
refinement is flower that grows
from the heart. Nourish and
cherish this beautiful plant in
youth, and it's roots will sink deep
into the soul; growing and ma
turing with increasing years,
blooming and scattering fragrance
along life's pathway.

THE ROUNDABOUT'S DE.
PARTMENT OF HISTORY,
EDUCATION, LIT
ERATURE.
A Plea for Manners.

Education begins a gentleman,
conversation completes him.
This is an old Spanish proverb,
and tits true that nothing floats
a man sooner into the tide of
reputation, than a perfect equi-
poise of conversational talent.
This demeanor of polite diction
comes through various avenues,
breeding, birth, environment.
tempera nent, as well as a refined
and cultivated organism. The
truth or falsity of ones standing
in life being fully justified by the
beautiful tribute paid by Tenny-
son:
And thus he bore without abuse
The grand old name of gentle
man."
To understand the philosophy
of an educated entity, one must
consider it's objects, it's scope, and
it's results.
Education develops the intel
lect, cultivates the reasoning pow
ers, enlarges the perceptive facul-
ties, and builds up in the mind
store house of knowledge. Its
scope is unive rsal, and covers not
only the field of intellectual
thought and the knowledge of
men and things-but it also ener-
gizes the heart, expands our SYM
pathies, and cultivates the soulful
part of our being; clothing the
person with gantleness and cul-
turel To attain to this it is inn
portant in the onward, progressive
course of study, to discover, as
we'll as to put in practice, every
aid which has or may have dis
tinctive bearing upon ones life.
School life is a preparatory
drill, making one better fitted
and prepared for the duties and
pleasures of life's early morning.
Ones manners are an index to
character, while a good character
is a sure passport to the confidence
and esteem of all associates.
No gentleman or lady will pur-
posely wound or hinder the small
est progress of a little child, nor
will either be rude or uncouth
sufficient to break the will or the
heart of fellow laborer. A re-
fined and cultivated nature will
cherish and practice all those
social amenities, and polite con-
descensions, easy and graceful
habits that belong to the real true
lady or gentleman.
A pleasant and pleasing address
is sort of passport III society,
and good society is the atmos-
phere in which grow those choice
productions of the heart and
mind.
Some manners are rough and
repulsive, but the effect, like a
Nemesis" follows after or sur
rounds it's victim with constant
difficulties. and the gentle sun
shine Of beauty and flowers are

CLOSE OF PROTRACTED
MEETINGS.
Vast Amount of Good Done in
Arousing Church Members
to Better Work and Many
Gathered Into the Churches.

The series of protracted meet
ings held by the different chur-
ches were brought to a close on
Sunday night last.
From first to last there seems
to have been a great revival of in
terest among the membership of
the various churches, and many,
who had become cold and in
measure Indifferent in the dis
charge of their religious duties,
were aroused to deeper sense of
their obligations and a renewed
determination to live in closer al
legiance and service to the Master.
The prime aim and object of
the pastors and workers, at the
outset, was to accomplish this very
thing, and, if nothing else had
been accomplished, it would have
been we'll worth the time, labor
and prayer given to this object.
But, in addition to this, we are
greatly gratified in being able to
announce that the overflow from
Christian hearts has had it's reflex
influence upon the outside world
and large numbers have been led
to conviction, conversion and to
the conservation of their lives to
Christ, and to uniting with the
various churches.
The congregations at all the
churches were large and deeply
solemn up to the very last service
held. There has been no hurrah
and excitement, but full reali-
zstion of the fact that Gods
Spirit was doing it's work of saliva
tion, and some who came to
laugh. remained to weep and
pray"
So far as we have been enabled
to gather the statistics, the fol-
lowing are the additions to the
various churches:

1t has been long time since
such splendid ingathering has
come to our churches. 1t should
be cause of universal gratitude
to the Giver of All Good, and
should hearten up those who have
borne the burden and heat Of the
day. hoping and praying for the
harvest home.

This work is but the beginning of
the battle Let every Soldier of
the Cross put his shoulder to the

glad day when every knee shall

Eight hours day one may leave his

What Ia II All2

What is 1t all when oil is told,
This ceaseless toiling for fame or gold,
The fleeting JOY or bitter tears?
We are only here for few short years.
Nothing our own but the silent past,
Loving or hating nothing can last.
Each pathway leads to the silent fold.
Oh! What is it all when all Is told?
What is it all? A grassy mound.
Where day or night these is never a
sound
Save the soft low moan of the passing
breeze
AS it lovingly rustles the silent trees,
Or q thoughtful friend with a whis-
pered prayer,
May sometimes break the stiffness
there.
Then hurry away from the gloom and
cold,
Oh! What is it all when all is told?
What is it an?-Just passing
through
A cross for me and a cross for you.
Ours seem heavy. while others light,
But God in the end maketh all things
right.
He "tempers the wind" with such low
ing care,
Knows the burden that each can bear.
Then changes lifes gray into heavenly
gold.
All! That's is all when all is told.
