Since our last issue we have assumed entire eowtiol of the Ad vancb, Hon. James P. Simmons having retired by BKdu.il consent. We invite attention to our new prospectus. We have not been able to make many changes desir ed in this issue, owing to our re moval to new office and our ab sence from town. We make the readers no promise as to the fu ture, but simply request them to estimate the Advance according to its merits. GURUpIMaS IS GONE, AND WHAT OF IT? While Christmas morning shed Its splendors over the earth the gladsome cry of happy hearts rang out jubilantly upon the world. ’Twas sung by the robed chw.' of city cathedrals, was ehafflted in churches nestled *mi«J forest hills, was welcomed to roadside cabins and cottages, and was eehoed by the lonely traveler upon land and sea, “Christmas is here,” rang like a chorus of gladness from the lips of reunited families, of frolicsom chi Wren, of feasting paupprs, and of released slaves in America and England, in Russia aM Aby sin-- nia, in Armenia and the islands of the ocean, “Christmas is here,” shouted the bouncing boy as he upwards tossed his tire-cracker and Roman candle. “ Christmas is here/’ sang the rosy cheek girl as she glided from home to home, and room to room*, merry-making, “Christ inas is here,” exclaimed the genial young man as he sipped from the bowl of egg nogg ami wine cup, and “Christmas is here/’ echoed ‘ the blooming young woman as she whirled in tin* giddy dance. But “Christmas-is gone.” The families have parted again, the entrancing twit has pa.-jul into silence, the tire tapers have ceas ed to burn, the poor have gone back to their year's labor for sus tenance, and the slaves have re newed their struggles. Yes. •‘Christmas is gone,*' and what meaning has it left us in our toils, our cares, our hopes and sighs our joys ami disappointments t A little brief happiness it hrottgh' us, but to many a soul it left the world still dreary—still an unsolv ed enigma. “Christmas is gone.*’ To that refrain in another twelve m nths may be set a chorus of sadness and grief. The young man may learn that the coils ol intent perance have encircled hint. The blooming young woman may find that her excessive midnight danc ing and exposure have germina ted the gnawing canker consump tion. The Eighteen Hundred sn' Sev-rßty third “Christmas is Yes. gone, snrchtireed with itnmeasu able joy to some, with immeasurable grief to oth ers—a Thtgctfy, not Tri übtfth. PROF. AGASSIS IS DEAD. The Imen of .Science every where mourn the death of I*rot. Louis Agassis, a hern in the war between Ignorance and Science a <d a martyr to the cause of truth revealed in Nature. No name among intelligent people is more illustrious than Louis Agassis. YA hen a b«»y he resigned hi< pur j pose of the ministry, and thereby lost the small pension allowed him by his parents, Pa<ing .fhc World penniless he Sheri b<?gan Lis life work. For ten ?ears Lcs ud .ied the fresh-water fcsdies of Eu rope, and then gave the world what he learned. For ten years he walked up and down the rug ged Alps, and verified his Glacial Theory. For twenty years he worked upon a Natural History of the United States I Born in Swit zerland Le longed lor the. freedom of America. Wh«ent be laftded at ’Halifax be rushed to its nearest search of a trace of a van* quished ica-Uoe. He found it and returned to the steamer with a victory by any record led upo# the pages of war. This little incident forms a perfect epi tome of his life. When he reach |ed America we cared but little i-for Science and knew les> ‘Twas J a day of scien.ific superficially — ; a day of sciolist instead scientists. [ln Boston lie mounted the Lee ; ture-plaffoim and fascinated tin I audience with “ the fairy tales ’ lof science. From Boston he went . to the country towns and villages, and with his queer black-board diagrams he revealed the work ol Time upon the globe ai d erected altars to Science in Lyceums, i High Schoofs, Colleges and Uni ’ versifies. lie prepared the way for Professors Tyndall and Hux ley, created matter for the Popu lar Science Monthly, gave birth to our Institutes of Technology.’ and called forth the ?Irw?toring powers of American Scientists. Born in pt verty he became rich without bis .*eeking. Born in cb scurity he became illustrious without an ambition for worldly fame. Born without triends he .made cheerful friend of Cuvier, an allv of the fC.ng of Prussia, helpers of the Emperors of France and Brazil, abettors of Aftwrieau millionaires, and lovers of all the world. But Louis Agassis is dead. His stalwart frame,ma**ite Lead and charming eyes arc hidden in Death, and his devout spirit now knows all the proofs of the Great First. Cause whom he sought so lofig and patiently on earth. TALKS WITH (TR FARMERS. Dining the last w< ok we have meta large numberrif <L»inftctl farmers. We find them more prospeious than we supposed.

The Atlanta papers present their readers with none but the most futile arguments of their contemporaries in favor of a State Convention, and gloat over their refutation of these as if they eni bodied ail the points at issue. Can't the the gentle men handle the main points in the discussion ( NORCROSS HIGH SCHOOL. Prof, N. F. Cool edge arrived here on the l’Bfh ins!., bought, the beautiful residence of .Mr D. C.

He is an experienced and successful educator, has the means with which to further his purposes, and a reputation and a personal influ ence which at once guarantees success. We call attention to our inter esting Washington letter, on first page, which appears late in con sequence of no issue last week. We have arrangements comple ted whereby we will be able to present our leaders with interest ing communications from all de sirable p-p nts of the government. Our esteemed Circuit rider, Rev. G- E.

TEXT BOOKS, The judicious selections of text books by the former Principal, Fros. Vincent, seems to requirt but very little change; and no charge when classes arc already foimed and books purchased. This is in accordance with the view of our advisory committee — twe i ve ca re fu 11 y sc lect ed me n, t o whose opini m at d judgment we shall given most respectful con sideration. When it is necessary to advance (he classes-to the higher Grades, we shall make 5M.-:i selections? as *’e deem most judicious, always however, giving the preference to authors of our own section of count r y— the South. Many of the text books will be the same as a.r used in the schools of Atlanta, hence those cc mrug to our school from that city will incur but little expense in t is respect. Books ami sta tionary used in the school will be kept in the place and sold at At lanta prices. For further particulars co t?dt vertisement in this paper or ad dress. N. F. COOLEDGE, Pi in'] or J. U.

D., published by Shel don & Co., No. 677 Broadway, New York-. This is a neat volume and contains facts in a succint form and principles which Arn rican citizen ought to know. In a Republican forua-of, GovewiffiCßt evevy owe has an influence ia the affairs of State, and every otfe should be veiled iu the | rinciples of Government. Dr. Aldeu-’s- of Government ” is designed for High Schools and Colleges, but it is also interesting to the general reader. This book costs of ou’y $ 1 50, and every foung man should be ac qiianted with the matfei's of which it treats. We have received from the enterprising publishing house of Mason, Baker & Pratt,. 142 & 144 Grand streeet, Ne»v York* “' I he Constitution of the United States, with a Concordance and Classified ludex r ” by Charles W. D., price This is emphatically “a 1 oek for every American, from the statesman to the school boy. ” It should be upon the desk of fcvf ry school toy and in the Tibi ary of’every citi zen. It is the most convenient’little bock we ever saw. -.- Keetels Elementary ’Feexch Gram mar.—We have examined.this work closely and critically. Among many points of ex cellence we find one that few’ if any of our text books possess—it is that the book is w at it purports to be, that is, au “Elemen tary Grammar.” Prof. Keetels does not assume that we are familair With .tlje gram mar of our own or any other language. In the introduction we have a few plain and simple rules for pronounciation, then we have the different parts of speech from the noun to the interjection, clearly (kfined with the properties of each. We specially approve the his subject. It is clear and intelligible to the merest child. The trouble wfth most of our text-books, especially those of for eign languages, is that they are-mere skele ton’s, authors understand so clearly, _ themselves, w’hat they desire to teach, they forget that the mind for Whirfr they ass preparing books must have evuy idiom, every peculiarity fully explained before they can uudeistand. much less appreciate and enjoy their labor. Prof. Keetels has been as explicit as possible on this point. He has. explained every step as he proceed ed, and when he reaches the verb insie -d of lcu\mg the student to grope in dark, for the r ght mood, and right tense to be used in preparing his exercise, he arranges the txeicises so that the correct mood and tense may be seen at a glance. It may be I objected to this arrangement, that it leaves but little labor for the student. True, and ' that is jus wi.at we want; we want anl i “ Elementary Grammar,” and th it is just’ i what this book is. If any arrangement - .1 make the study of irregif-iiv ver s, the I students ‘ vete noir” easy and agieeable ’ this work derservessuccess. After the con ' jugation of each irregular verb, he takes i that as a model and ;-eqi ires the student to wr t ■ copious exercises upon it. , A gain, 1 s - i tilt s in Syntax are elementary—that is confined to the object desired to effect ed to give the young student an insight into the first principles of lan guage. It Prof. Keetels’ larger ctmrst treats in s manner s<> logical and lucid as this we cor dially agree with him, that the student who pursues bis full course w ill be able to do two things that he claims for him, that is read and write the French language. We. capitally doubt whether any man can speak- French correctly without a Jong ntercourse wit'n people speaking go d French. There I is only one change that has suggested itself Itous in reviewing this work. Wife would 1 have not only the figured Ixit fbe written J pronounciation of every word in his vocab | ularly. I here is not one boy in ten who will rerhember rules for the peculiarities of i prou uncial ion, but spell a word for him as you pjouounce, and it will make a lasting | i impie-sion on his mind. ’ ' . ■ ' . t 5 - > I ''.{j’ •’$ 4 The Loudon Echo believes that among the “things not gemrally known” is the ! fatal conhe tion betwen Saturday night and ' infant mortality.
