PLANT FRUIT SEEDS. Every cultiyator
OF fruit can plant a few seeds yearly, and
cultivate them as they grow, without even
feeling the loss of time. Were each one to
do so, what multiplicity Of seedlings we
should soon have and from which, doub-
less, selections would be made as superior
in every respect to our present collection
as the present is to that of twenty five years
since. Let every one plant few this year
as a trial, and as they grow cultivate the
young plants carefully.

Within the past few months, several of
the counties of East Tennessee have voted
special tax for free schools. We have
every encouragement to believe that two
thirds of our counties will do the same
before fall. IF they do, there will be new
schools opened in some twenty counties by
the first of September. This will make it
probable that some good and reliable teach
ers could find schools to teach during the
winter at good wages. We have great
many already in East Tennessee, but we
believe good, competent teachers, who
could come well recommended, could get
schools. Salaries would be from twenty
to sixty dollars per month.

MEssRs EDITORS: AS you are in the habit of
giving Sabbath School items, with your permis-
sion, beg leave to notice the Hopewell School,
of this county, John Henson Superintendent.
The attendance is about eighty-three scholars
and thirteen teachers. There is quite an inter
est manifested by all and we think good is being
accomplished Our custom is to have a ten
minutes' address from one of the Bible-class
every Sabbath. The following was declaimed
last Sabbath by j. B. Builder, for which / ask
place in your columns:


1t is quite common for public speakers who
are professors of religion to speak of the dangers
to which non-professors are exposed, and of the
easy manner in which they might avert that
danger. But it is a very rare thing for nom
professor to speak in public on those thiags and
it may be on that account that all the difficult
ties with which non-professor has to contend
are not known, or if known are too often over
looked. As I have been called upon to make
some remarks, on subject of my own choosing
perhaps word on that subject might effect
good. For, though I belong to the class who
make no profession to christianity, yet / am a
well wisher to the cause and to every Individual
advocate oft. But while make no preten-
sioas to uprightness, in the religious sense of
that term, yet / discharge some of my duties
and am not insensible to the obligations Of duty.
The difference, then, between the class which /





and church members consists IN this: That the
one party, feeling a sense of duty, has taken on
himself an obligation in the presence of witness
ses to discharge that duty, (mind you, am only
speaking of the external part of religion, for of
the internal part know nothing experimental
ly) while the other party, feeling an equal sense
Of duty. has not, before men, taken any obliga-
tion. Now, it is reasonable that it should be
expected of those who have vowed before men
to act with steady, unwavering principle.
Your speaker is not one of those who would CEN
sure unjustly to justify himself, for l know to
err is human, perfection only belongs to the di-
vine nature. 1 would judge of one then, by the
general spirit which leads him; or, in other
words, would Judge of the motive of the per-
son. If that motive or principle is unwavering,
would consider that the individual is making
an honest endeavor to comply with his obliga-
tons. But if on the other hand, / discover q
loose unrestrained course of conduct, viola
ton of principle, of honor, hebitually, consid-
er he is not living up to and regarding his obli-
cation. l am aware that the conduct of no one,
however slightly wrong, is any excuse for an
other to commit wrong. But if it is true that
one person can help another in doing good, or
if two, by agreeing to work for good together,
can secure more good to themselves, then the
same reasoning is true in reference to the bad.
To be brief, one person can irresistibly inhu-
ence another. This influence is easier extended
in the wrong direction than in the right.

Nobody will be surprised to learn that the
