WHAT BECOMES OF BRIGHT BOYS?
To men who -watch the ingress and.ca
ieef of men into and through the arena of
life, the answer to this question is perplex
ing. 'i'he boyff tAat exhibit the highest
talents are often found in the back-ground
of life’s warfare, while those who give no
promise of future triumphs make the men
who- move the world. 'J he majority of
ftieh who to-day -walk the city pavement
and crowd public thoroughfares seeking
employment, are those who, when boys,
carried off the palm at school.
In physics we have the axiom: Nothing
is stronger than its weakest part. The ap
plication of this law to men’s mental con
stitution suggests the key to the inquiry.
Like the ferry man’s rope, men’s minds
are no stronger than their weakest points.
A flaw in the rope measures its strength;
deficiencies in the mind measures its effi
ciency. An ill-balanced judgment, or an
incapacity to persevere or an excessive
eaatktn, or a too sanguine temperament,
often paralyzes the most splendia faculties.
One defective element in the mental organ
ization, like one defective block in a su
perb monument, often brings the whole to
ruin. If we would strengthen the chain,
we must mend its broken link; if we would
obliterate from society half made up men
and women we must remove or transform,
or subvert their defective mental elements.
It is the highest duty of Education to es
tablish an equilibrium of mental forces.
Curriculums have done much to render
men almonnal, to develop some faculties
and dwarf others. Egotistic teachers neu
tralize pupils’ originality, becloud their
judgments that they may reproduce an Ego.
We teach science, but without a scientific
method. We impait facts, but without
regard to the personal elements of the re
cipients. We cram into their minds mass
es of learning.regardless of their digestive
capacities. And yet the highest mission of
Education is to harmonize al! functions,
strengthening the weak and repressing the
predominant.
Under our present system the bright boys
have their strong faculties strengthened at
the neglect of their weaker; our boys for
whom we mould no horoscope and who
give no great promise are left to the om
nipotence of self-reliance. Under our pres
ent system, we shall always see melan
choly failures, see boj s of acknowledged
talents forced by some defective mental
faculty to Inferior positions. Juv.
THE NEW POSTAL LAW.—ITS EF
FECT UPON THE EDUCATIONAL
INTERESTS OF THE COUNTRY.
Economy in public expenditures is very
desirable. The honest, toiling masses wel
come acts of retrenchment on the part of
their public servants. But is the late Con
gressional act in regard to the postal laws
an act of retrenchment?
While it annihilates the much perverted
franking privilege, it at the same time
sends a poisonous fang to the heart of the
grandest earthly power for the civilization,
education, christianizing and amelioration
of a benighted world. It seems strange (?)
that a Congress that has ostensibly clam
ored for the universal diffusion of know!
edge should, for a pitiable revenue, throw
a veil over the most powerful light on
earth. 1
We refer, of course, to the newspapers.
Upon these the destiny of this country is
susjnmdcd, and by these alone can the re -
sources of this nation, in wealth and terri
tory, in power and learning, in truth and
religion, in useful arts and inventions, in
industry and enterprise, in every thing that
tends to enlighten the whole people every
where, be wrought out. Shut out the light
now sluxl by the Rewspspere ami the world
wiM relapse into comparative semi-barb.u > -
isnt. Books and schools, colleges and
universities do much for the enlightenment
of our nation, but without newspsqura
mental stagnation would reign to an tnor
, mous extent. Schools and collegefl edu
cate a few; the newsjtapers enlighten every
texly. ’Tis true all men do not road pa
pers, but so many in every community do
read them that the people art upon and in
accordance with the ideas so universally
disseminated by them. The shortest and
surest road to the thorough enlightenment
of our whole people is to l»e found in the
free trenstnisskm of the be.tl vehicles of
thought thoroughly progressive thought.
The freer the transmission and Ute cheaper
the literature, the more numerous become
the readers, and hence more enlightened
becomes the nation. Juv.
We learn from the Atlanta Herald this
morning, that Hon. John Er raid, Forsyths
poetic memte-r of the legislature of olden
and better days, came near drowning in a
Bttle Stream near Ponce de Leon Spring on

“Thinking there w as no danger he drove

THE NEW OBDER.
We gave our readers, last week, the his- ’
tory and and purposes of the Patrons of 1
Husbandry as written by a friend. We j
now give below an article by an opponent :
of the order.
Tiiis we do that our readers may see both
sides of the picture, and be thereby the
better enabled to form correct views, of
the new coiner, for themselves.
Foi myself I have certain fixed rules by
which to judge of such things and must
know the facts before I can apply them.
If this new order has for its object noth
ing more than its friends now claim for it
—a desire to promote the genera l interests
of the agriculturists of the country, in a
legitimate way, lam with them. But if
it is the aim of the leaders to form a secret
political party to control elections and di
rect our legislation, then I am against them.
Let us watch and wait developments
It is sometimes best to “make haste slow

PATRONS OF HUSBANDRY.
Editor Southern Cri.TtvATOE.—I con
cede the right to every man to be hum
bugged as it suits him ; but Ido not con
cede any man the right to hutpbug others,
even though he docs it innocently. Os all
the humbugs which have appeared since
the days of Know Nothingism this of the
Patrons of Husbandry is the boldest and
meet shallow. Ostensibly its object is a
farmer’s union, through which the world
is to lie regulated : railroads made to run
at cost, merchants to sell goods without
profit; whilst the farmer, the lord of the
soil, will get advanced prices for his wheat,
com and meat. In fact, the- great laws of
supply and demand, and the power of capi
tal will be set aside, by these people who
go about organizing Granges.
Wil! you be kind enough to tell me what
number of farrws.or planters are able to
give orders for goods, say in this month of
.June, and send forward the cash necessary
to pay on delivery ? You will answer that
you know of irnne, but that the g-ods of
the merchant, are almost invariably bought
on credit, sold to persons upon the vaguest
and most shadowy security: and that the
farmer can no more do without the mer
chant than he can without his laborers—
that they are, iu facq mutual aidsand sup
ports the one to the other-complements.
“But,’’ will answer one of these Grange
organizers—those chaps who are looking
out for “Number one”—“all the country
is not impoverished like the South ; the
rich North-West is able to make a fight
against the monopolists. ” Indeed ! I as
sert to the contrary, and I know’ whereof 1
affirm ; I say that the tillers of the soil in
the t-'outh arc to-day the most independ
ent of all their fellows in America. They
are the only farmers in America who get
out of debt once a year ami have a balance
of cash of their own ; which balance, how
. ever, is never sufficient to last till June.—
And why not? You hit the answer when
• you advised more economy and thrift.

AND STILL ANOTHER LEAGUE. C
h
We clip the follow ng from the Gaines
ville Eagle of the 4th. Honest, law-abid- r ,
ing people, who seek and desire no unfair
advantag' sliould watch closely all such
movements:
THE “LEAGUE OF JUSTICE.” J'
Following swift upon the information of
the wonder Ink growth and development of j
the Farmers’ Granges in the West, North- ;i
west, and in the South, says the Savan
nah News, come bints of another ■ organ!- 0
zation known as the “League of Justice.” j
It is a secret society, and is entirely dis- j,
tinct from the order of Patrons of Hus- y
bandry, but is similar to the latter in that ..
it is the result of monopolies, railroad 1
bonds and land grants. The-primary ob- j,
ject of this League is represented to be the a
repudiation of the railroad bonds issued a
by various count}', town, and municipal j
governments throughout the Northwestern t
States, and the seizure and common di- t
vision of lands that have been granted away t
to corporations by the United States Con
gress. The chaiiicter of the League, is £
revolutionary, and its purpose is not mere- a
ly to prevent bond-swindlers, feidsteal, r
and the growth of monopoly in the future, '
but to overthrow f hosc of the past. The t
League -is said to be established in Kansas, c
Nebraska, lowa, and Missouri, and is ma y
king headway in Texas, Illinois, Indiana, c
and Ohio. It is represented as being more t
“Masonic” in character than the Granges, j
and the organization is divided into lodges r
under a central control. Amemb rshipof
260,000 is claimed in the various States.-- j
Men alone are admitted between the ages A
of 21 and 50 years. “We have arms,” g
says one of the members ; “we will have «.
justice, peaceably if wc can, but we will a
have it by force of arms if wc must.” Re- r
felting to the local railroad-bonds and land t
grants, another member remarked, to a St. A
Louis newspaper reporter ; -j
“The League will make ht>t work for s
the thieving scoundrels yet. You mark ,
my words. The railroad companies that (
have had grants made bv Congress will r
never get one dollars after the next year
for the lands, nor will any man have a
title from them. They slihll not have it.
The laud belonged to the people, and they
did not send men to Con p-ess to deed away
their inheritance to make a few men rich. ,
That is not to be thought of. We have
10,000 men in Kansas who are sworn to 1
prevent it or die, and they mean business.” ’

COW FOOD. .
Now is the time to lay up winter food
‘or cattle. Take your wheat straw and
pack it away with salt and you will find it .
as fodder, for cows, mules or, .
horses in the winter. * .
The best way is to put down in dry pens (
for cowfl, where they can have free access ;
to it. Spread the straw about two feet
deep, while loose, over the pen; then sow
tlic salt over it; pacl?'down and continue
one layer after another of straw, salted in
that way till the pen is full.
Use about as much, salt as you think
your cows will want while the straw lapts
them. With dry shelter and plenty oF
water j our stock cattle will keep fat in that
way all winter without other food.
Should the wet season c? t;tin e a little
longer, the. wheat fields, if not pastured,
(and they never should be) will afford crab
grass in great abundance this year. Get
what is called a ‘bush scythe,’ and cut your
crab grass when in full bloom ; dry and
put away carefully, and yon will have cow
food enough and to spare for next winter.
Rcmemb r all hay crops should be cut
when in bloom. If allowed to mature seed
the straw and blades are worth but little.

RELIGIOUS.
“WUATIS THEO VUSE”
Under the above head Timothy,
a late correspondent of the Chris
tian Index from Cnthhert, Ga.,
gives a very discouraging account
of the present condition of the
town churches in Southwest. Geor
gia. He says: ‘‘The larger portion
of the town churches have the
best educated ministers that our.
theological institutions afford,and
they sre sound in doctrine and
appear to be men of piety, The
churches keeptip regular pray
er meetings Ttml Sabbath schools.
•They have a choir and organ, and
generally have good music. The
houses of worship are comforta
ble, Some of the churches are
liberal in the support of their pas
tors, and to benevolent objects
generally. And notwithstanding
all these good things, there is a
} gradual decline in godlinesr and
l numbers. * * *
“We do not see or hear of such <
success now attending the preach- ’
ed word as with our fathers, some :
thirty or forty years ago.”
That a church having a comAvrt
al de house, a good preacher, well I
paid, regular prayer meet ings and 1
Sabbath Schools, and a choir and ’
organ also, and generally have
good music, should not grow and i

THE PHILOSOUHER AND THE BI
BLE.
Jean de Muller, a learned Swiss writer,
was deep'y engaged in historical studies at
Cassel, in the year 1782. Indefatigable in
research, he xvrote to his friend, Charles
Bonnet, yiat be had studied all the ancient
authors, without one exception, in the order
of time in which they lived, and had not
omitted to fake note of a single remarkable
fact. Among other works, it occurred to
him to glance at the New Testament, and
we give in his own words the impression
produced upon him :
“How shall I express what I have found
here ? I had not read it for many years,
and when I began it I was prejudiced
against it. The light which blinded St.
Paul, in his journey to Damages?,- was not
more prodigious or more surprising tfJ him
then what I suddenly discovered was to me
the accomplishment of every hope, the
perfection of all philosophy, the explana
tion of all revolutions, the key of all the
apparent contradictions of the material and
moral world, of life and immortality. I
see the most astonishing things effected by
the smallest means. I see the connection
of all the revolutions in Europe and Asia,
with that suffering people to whom were
committed the promises, as one likes to en
trust a manvicript to tnose who, not know
ing how to write, can not falsify it. I see
religion appearing at the moment most fa
vorable to its establishment, and in the way
least likely to promote its reception ; the
world appearing to have been arranged
solely with reference to the religion of the
Savior. I can understand nothing if such
a religion be no t from God. 1 have not
read anv books about it, but in studying all
that happened before this epoch, I have al
ways found something wanting, and, since
I have known our Lord, all is clear to my
sight; with Him there is no problem I can
not solve. Forgive me for thus praising
the sun, as a blind man who had suddenly
received the (rift of sip-ht.—lndex.
WHO IS THE GREATEST.
Shortly after the Transfigura
tion of Jesus upon the Mount,
where only three of the apostles
were invited, the spirit of jealousy
seems to have arisen anfong the
twelve chosen ones as to who
should have the precedence.—
‘•Jesus called a little child unto
and set him in the midst of
them, and said, “Verily I say un
to you, except ye be converted
as little children, ye
shall not enter into the kingdom
oT heaven. Whosoever, therefore
shall humble himself as this little
child, the same is the greatest in
the kingdom of heaven.” Nor
was this narrative written in the
eighteenth chapter of the gospel
by Matthew intended for the
twelve alone. For human nature
is pretl v much the same, in every
age ami in all the world. And
Vie defects, so painfully visible
in the lives of the Apostles, are
just as sad. if they are often less
tl*e livespf modern dis
ciples. One of the first
pings of lfee wicked heart is am
fiitionjn some of ii- protean forms
Al ter conversion, even, there is
no passion in the human heart
more sly and strong. Strange it
seems that in so small a band as
that of the twelve the struggle
for leadership should so soon bo
seen. But tliero was a deal of
human nature in them, and it is
probable that, even in this small

en men, each of whom folt him
self “unappreciated” by the oth
ers or even by the Mister, not
withstanding his “peculiar fitness
for the place!” If we read the
lives of these Apostles in the
light of human nature, as it still
exists, we shall feel ourselves not
a little rebuked, as their weak
ness reveals ours. Notwithstand
ing Jesus stands right at the door
of the ner,»life, with the severest
rebuke for ambition, and the most
humble lesson in discipleship, yet
how soon the remains of “the old
man” stir with the spirit of pride
aud self-seeking, and the lesson
of humility is forgottten ?
Among the leaders in every
party conference, nation or de
nomination, we have illustrations
of human weakness, human folly,
the out croppings of hateful am
bition.
Bride is the evil spirit which
destroys the peace of so manv
churches, which saps the strength

to be crucified there is always

MISCELLANEA.
The oldest foreign Missionary
now living in active service, is the
Rev. John Ross, of the Free
Church of Scotland, whose geld is
in South Africa. He completes
the fiftieth year of his work the
present month, and in the cele
bration of the event, the Scotch
Foreign Mission Board have re
solved to send to him $2,500 to
enable his native congregation to
build a new house of worship.—
He has been a most laborious and
successful missionary-
The Australasian Wesleyan
Conference held its session in the
Centenary Wesleyan Church, at
Sidney, and was a season of great
interest. The Governor informed
the Conference that an imgerial
act was in preparation for the
suppression of the labor traffic.
Rev. Isaac Katon was received
as an assistant missionary, and
six Polsncsians wore received as
native assistant missionaries.
James Ah Ling was also received'
as a Chinese missionary. Meth
odism in Australia is advancing
rapidly.
We meed to give as much as
others need to get. The Arabs
have a proverb “The water you
pour on the roots of the cocoannt
comes back to you, sweetened
and enriched, in the milk from
the top,” and every libation we
pour upon the roots of Christi? n
enterprise we receive into our
own mouth again, in the sweet
draughts of peftonal growth. If
we find little blessing in giving it
is perhaps because we give so lit
tle, or exercise, in giving, so little
self-denial. -
