CLOUDS WITS silver; linings.
BY MARY COLBY.
There’s never a day so sunny
But a little cloud appears;-
Thertj’r neve? a life so happy
But has bad its* time of tears;
Yet the sun shines out the brighter
When the Btoi my tempest clears.
There’s never a garden growing
With roses in every plot;
There’s never a heart so hardened
Bht it has one tender spot;
We have only to pursue the border
To fihd the forget-me-not.
There’s never a cup so pleasant
But has bitter with the sweet;
There’s never a path so rugged
That bears not the print of feet;
A fid we have a helper promised
For the trials we may meet.
There’s never a sun that rises
But we know ’twill set at night ;
The tints that gleam in the morning
At evening are just as bright;
And the hour that is the sweetest
Is between the dsrfc and* fight.-
Tbere’s never a dream that’s happy
But the waking makes us sad;
There’s never a dream- of sorrow
But the waking, makes us glad ;
We shall look some day with wonder
At the troubles we have had.
There’s never away s > narrow
But the entrance is made straight;
There’s alw ys a guide to point us
To the “little wicket gate;
And the angels will be nearer
To a soul that is desolate.
V'
There’s never » heart so haughty
But will some day bow aud kneel;
There’s never a heart so wounded
That the Saviour cannot heal;
There’s many a lowly forehead
That is bearing the hidden seal.
'Fhere’s never a day so sunny
But a little cloud appears;
There’s never a life so happy
But baa had its time of tears;
Yet the sun shines out the brighter
When the stormy tempest clears.
SCIENTIFIC BIGOTRY.
Strauss and Renan hare each applied
themselves to the demonstration of a the
orem t y which the verity and purity of the
character of Jesus shall be affirmed, while
Hw-miraculous powers shall be denied. It
may fairley be doubted whether this line of
argument wera adopted for the purpose of
arriving at the truth. The assaults upon
Jesus by Bolmgbroke, Paine, and others,
bad rebounded upon thems jives, and
brought upon those authors the condemna
tion of naarly every reasonable aud honest
mind. This war, at feast, sufficient warn
ing of the danger of further pursuing that
course.
The theory upon whi h the purity of the
Mfessianic character was made compatible
with the falsity of the record of His mira
cles, has been totally disproved, and the
attempt to maintain it will be, if it has not
already been, abandoned.
The next movement of the leading ration
alists was looked for with interest. Would
the} insult the mo al sense and reason of
mankind by returning to 'he ribaldries and
foul slanders of Volney, Bolingbmke, and
Painc l The answer is ready. “We have
sought to preserve the character of your
Christ, while we follow the lead of scientific
truth. If you drive us from this position,
you must take the consequence-'. We shall
not hesitate to denounce Jesus as an impos
tor and performer of legerdemain, if there
in no otbei. way of avoiding the acknowl
edgment of snpematrrnG fowes.”
I bis U * degree of bigotry unmatched in
any Protestant deuominati n in christen
dom, and indeed it baa no parallel anywhere,
that we know of, in the history of phiio
soplc or religious belief. A bigot may lie
most unreasonable, and determinedly I llnd
to truth, and yet demand aud receive the
respect of reasonable men He may say,
“I have ex mint'd the this p opo
sitiou. I bare concluded tny inquiries con
cerning It, lujti am aatiaffud with it. 1 shall
decline tn arrest gate adverse testimony,
because I know that lam right.*’ But no
i-lgot that we have ever read or lie id of,
except those “scientists,” bare set out
with the denial of a historic or other fact,
and doggedly refused to listen to any evi
dence of the existence of the fact stated,
upon the simple ground that the fact c n
•ets with their theory! We say that such
a position has no example among thinking
men, aud shows their claims for recogni
tion as men of science to be preposterous
and rediculoua. A love of truth —a desire
to find it and accept it wherever found, is
the first elemcment in the character of one
who can become a scientist. To expect
truth front men who will ignore facts
which make against pct theories, were as
vain as to expect music from a man burn
deaf, or landscape painting from one born
blind.
These gsntlcmsn start out with the nega
tive theory that the spiritual world has no
existence; that tlwsupematuial is unknow
able aud therefore impossible, and therefore
that any fact proving cither the spiritual or
supcrnatual is inadmissible because it is
brought forward to prove that which is im
possible. This is simply to stty, “We do
not know it to be true, and therefore' it is
false"-—which is the most Insolent and con
temptuous proposition ever made io an en
lightened people. And now, when, upon
the basis of such ridiculous egotism and
nigotry, they propose to assault the purity
and verity of the character of Christ, pro
pcMK to denounce tbit as black and foul
which the universal judgment of ma kind,
shadted alth whatever ereed oi philosophy,
han proamancod pure and spoilt**, we do

We believe in the co-education of the sexes; we limit their association; they meet
only i i the recitation room, except in passing to and from the academy, and during the
suspension of regulations pertaining thereto. I heir association to tiffs extent makes
them more attentive to p< reonal appearance, and more refined in speech. It gives boys
higher feelings of honor, for they dread tbe opinion of jdrta who scoff at meanness,
littleness and profanity. It stimulates girls to greater mental effort, and makes t em
more capable of thinking for themselves. It gives boys b- tter ideas of true womanhood.
It gives girls better ideas of true manhood. It elevates both, morally and intellectually.

Prof. Vincent, the Principal, isoneot
the leading educators of the Slate, and
the High School is rapidly taking its posi
tion in the front rank of educational in
stitutions.
From the Atlanta Sun, March, 1873.
This is an independent enteprise.*****
Prof. Vincent is well known as a teacher
of splendid attainments, having devoted
tris entire time and energies to that busi
ness. Norcross is a healthy place, pure
air. good water and immediately on the
Air-Line Railroad, about twenty miles
from Atlanta.
From Gainesvilla Eagle, March 8, 1873.
There is nothing of more importance to
the youth of our country, than a sound
practical education. Indeed it is a mat
ter of first consideration, aud in order
that the foundation for an education may
be laid in the shortest time and at the
leastexpense it is necessary to have teach
ers—those who, from experience, have
shown an aptness for imparting instruc
tion. Such a teacher is the Principal of
the Norcross High School. w
From the Gwinnett Herald.
J. U. Vincent. Principal, is a ripe schoL
ar and experienced teacher.
From the Cartersville Standard.
We again say to our people that no bet

will be by tbe student thoroughly learned.
