Graduated vs, Educated.
BY EMILY L. WHITING.
In these latter days of wisdom, when
oew books appear faster than snowflakes
fa a New England storm, and new authors,
roore numerous than stars in an autumn
evening, arise in the literary firmament, it
has been playfully affirmed that the only
distinction consists in being un distinguish
°d* If this assertion is true in the world
of letters, it jg doubly true in the world of
scholars. So common a process has ‘grad
uati|"’ rareM become, the that of a college youth who has
seen inside would be
morewf an anomaly than he who compia*
contlwhang* up on wa ]j hi 8 framed re*
cord o» virtues and accomplishments, the
existent of which might possiUu never

ne term foul anted may comprehend

strange spell a value.” It may represent
months and yearsot earnest labor; inwo¬
ven with pure purposes and noble aims;
freighted with high hopes and ever P refl
oit ait , in the opting fnlurc.
i It may
mean — not that the graduate is merely the
professor cf certain Ustorical, mathemati
cal or scientific facts—it may mean that
he is educ :ted. Not eiucatcd in that full
sense of the term whiA a life time is in*
sufficient to complete, and which can nev*
er be perfected but uni«r the tuition of
the Great Teacher, but it may mean that
the elements of knowledge *re fully mas
tered; that habits of vigorous* independent
thought have been cultirated; and better
than all, it may mean /hat he has attained
that moral strength enabling him to take
tho highest and purest motives and carry
them out to their highest results.
Tfc"r<ijs no real antagonism between the
terms eUu«at e d and g^duated, although
they arc come u be very far from synony
mous. The difference ia only like the
supposed hostVitj| between England and
France, or between England and slavery.

Old Squire Tompkins was a perfect pic¬

stuttering seemed the effect of bashfulness
rather than an inherent physical defect.
One day a neighbor came to buy a yoke
of oxen of him. The price was named
and the animals made a satisfactory ap¬
pearance.
“ Arc they breaeby ?” asked the buyer.
“N-n never troubled me,” was the re*
PjXtV***" immmt
The other paid the price and took the
yoke. In a day or two he came back in a
towering passion.
“ Confound these critters, ’Squire—
there ain’t no jencc that will keep'em!
They will break through a stone wall or
jump over the moon. What the dickens
made you tell me they wasn’t breachy ?”
“ I didn’t say no such thing.”
“Yes, you did; you said they never
troubled you.
« Oh, well, neighbor,” said the ’Squire,
« I don’t let such a thing as that trouble
me »
The buyer sloped.

A Tatl& with the Girls about
Blouse-keeping.
My dear girls will you listen to a little
advice on housekeeping, evenjf it is given
by an old woman ? May be you don’t
have as many odd thoughts about such
things as I had when a child, [t seemed
to me there was a great mystory about it,
that a knowledge of it was gradually im¬
parted to us as we grew older, without any
effort on the part of tho receiver; and, as
my childish memory was so poor, I often
wondered how it was that our dear mother
should always keep a supply of bread just
as we wanted it, (and such good bread
too!), how she could think to fill the cake
jar that we emptied so often, besides mak*
iug a great variety of preserves, and other
good things that suited our appetites so
well. It seemed to argue so much fore
thought and knowledge on her part that
we often wondered how it would seem to
be grown, keep house, and have so much
to do, plan out, and think about. I have
had to learn life’s lessons step by step, and
to wade through its cares and troubles. I
advise you to learn as much as possible
while you are still under a mother’s eye,
so that when you assume the care of a
house, it may bc with a perfect knowledge
of all its requirements.
In these days of personal independence,
it is so very difficult to get servants who
are really help, that it is very important
for the mistress of the houso to know how
all its work should be done. In nine ca~
ses out of teu > shc must do herse l f if
she wants it properly done. These re
sponsibilitics fall with a crushing weight
0 n an iuexpefienced head, while one who
h as been accustomed always to attend to
such things regards them only in the light
0 f pleasant duties. You will prpbaWy all
be housekeepers if you live, audyou must
be«iu now, and see how tho plain every
day work is done. It all seems very sim*
pl e> while your mother, or may be Brid*
S et > is doin « k > bat take llold and sCe how
you can do it yourself. All the fine theo
ries in the world will not perfect you with
out practice.
You will find tl*u there arc many things
that you thiuk y<M know all about, but
when yJm try to do them, you will have
to ask “ dear mother.” I think there is
a two-fold blessing that attends our eai^
efforts to learn, amU^dp others. In ' hc
first place lighten the burdens a ]
^* r 9 B *T^crl ia p8 overtasked, and,
we acquire knowledge that will b a bene
in al. aiier-lii’o. One of tb* brightest
‘“emories of my early home i, that my
heavenly f' ° VC ij^,r, ic.-i,) whcn (fang t ., er sinoe he wan called ted a to gar- a
ment mended, used *\v,^ to ask me to
to d* it for him, And althu*^, ^ was no j. &n

So remember all the small things, as
well as tho large ; mending is iust as im.
and good bread,good
t-atfer, well cooked meats and vegetas
bles, are i
fine dmner or a splendid supper on great
^ons. I certainly wish you to have
a good*education, as regards book learn
ing, yet I am desirous that you may a'so
know all about house-keeping, so that lest vou
may jf understand how to‘do, ’ in the ; f

one unusual interest, and will be the
means oi bringing together a large num

The Secretary informs as that inquiry is
being made daily by persons wishing to
exhibit articles. Many want to come here
first, and if they stand tie test of fair criti¬
cism, will then place thor articles on cx*
hibition at Macon. We earn that several
distinguished gentlemen from abroad are
expected to be present, aid that the Di¬
rectors of the State Fair, with their worthy
Secretary, arc to be prom'ucnt among
them. This is just as it should be, and
we trust our citizens will make the amplest
provision in advance tor their entertain¬
ment during thek stay in our midst. Let

Eatonton in fist rate order.
