. I politic. He was consequently a most admirable Spartan, but a morally de graded man. As brave as a lion, as true to country as thrice-tried steel, be was a thief on principle, and would scruple at no deed of treachery or de ceit. Such, too, is the tendency of Utili tarian as exhibited in the results of the Division of Labor, when earned to an extremity. Pins, now, are doubtless better made and more abundantly made, than they ever were before ; yet surely ’tis a sad account to render of a man’s life, that he had attained perfection in making the twelfth part of a pin. The facilities of communication between dis tant points in New York are unprece dented and uneqaled, and the omnibus driver, who never leaves his box from dawn till night, even so long as to take his meals, driver an omnibus better than it was ever driven before; society is vastly benefited, but the poor driver is not three removes from the horses be neath him. “Two elements” [I quote from Gui zot’s History of Civilization ;] “seem to be comprised in the great fact, which we call Civilization ; two circumstances are necessary to its existence—it lives upon two conditions—it reveals itself by two symptoms : the progress of society, the progress of individuals; the amelioration of the social system, and the expansion of the mind and faculties of man.” Now, bearing this fact in mind, we are forced to the conclusion that the solution of the whole question lies in the determ ination of the following point: in the great problen of Life, which of these two elements is the means and which the end? Is the object of Being, the devel opment of the individual or the exalta tion of the social fabric ? In other words, was man made for society, or so ciety for man ? Unquestionably, the last hypothesis is the true one ; for the sole object of the social system is the melioration of the individual. What says Collard, “Human societies are bom, live and die upon the earth; there they ac complish their destinies; but they con tain not the whole man. After his en gagement to society, there still remains in him the more noble part of his na ture ; those liigh faculties by which he elevates himself to God, to a future life and to the unknown blessings of an in visible world We, individuals, each with a separate and distinct existence, with an identical person—we, truly be ings endowed with immortality—we have a higher destiny than that of States. And now, my friends, what is the conclu sion of the whole matter 1 Perhaps you will say, “the man has been talking all of this time to urge upon hs to educate our children! We are anxious to educate them and need no urging.” If I have done no more than this—then my labor and your attention has been wasted indeed. But have I done no more than this ? Is the education which I have in sisted upon the meagre, soulless, selfish thing commonly implied by the word ? Does the process which I have describ ed to you consist merely in the punctu al payment of tuition fees, and purchase of school-books ? Is it even terminated -Tiii : whence he in many instances, issues, af ter four years so-called study, with “isms” in his head, a cigar in his mouth, a cane in his hand, and the devil in his heart ? “Perhaps not,” you reply ; but what can Ido 1 The fault lies in the system, and ’tis the part of you educa tors to correct that! “Let the galled jade wince ; our withers are unwrung !” There are faults in the system and it is our part to correct them, but there are faults and shortcomings in your depart ment of the work too, and God will hold you responsible for them. What can you do? you ask. Well, first of all, you can realize and make your child realize the nature of the work of education. Much aye, the greatest part of your duty will be done when you have accomplished this end. Bring home to yourself and, at the earliest possible moment, to him, the true objects of living. The wise old Westminster divines rightfully made that the first and most conspicuous point in their theological creed; viz: “What is the chief end of man ?” “Man’s chief end is to glorify God, and enjoy him forever 1” What is the object of education ? Not to make money ; not to gain influence; not to be successful in life; not even to attain happiness; “but to glorify God, and enjoy Him forever 5” to exalt and expand our whole being, mental, moral and physical, to the standard of fierfection set up for our imitation in the person of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Then, indeed, we shall be happy, not because we made happiness the end of existence, but because God Eunised that if we sought “first the gdom of God and His righteous ness, all things shall be added unto us.” The practical deductions from re marks already too long protracted, are such as to suggest themselves to all. We have seen that the practical utili itarian tendencies of a man’s mind need no encouragement; that they are hadry plants of indigenous growth, which flourish without cultivation. We have seen that the spiritual, ethe rial dispositions of the soul require fos tering ; they are tender; they are deli cate; they are weak; they must be sliielded from the hot simoon of world liness, or they will wilt, and droop and die. The Philanthropist is interested in this question, for Ms genuine love of Ms species must make Mm long to see them happier, purer and more elevated in the scale of being. The Christian is warmly enlisted in this cause, for Ms object is to wean men away from the broken cisterns and bit ter waters of tMs unsatisfactory world, and to lead them to streams of living waters and through green pastures, where God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. The Teacher in every stage of that vastly important profession, has especial need to study carefully, the bearings of tMs subject; for according to the seed planted by him, will spring up trees, bearing the fruits of everlasting life, or, yielding apples of Sodom, all bright and golden to the sight, but turning to bit ter ashes upon the lips. , Ah! methinks I see him now—“life’s young pilgrim”—leaving the calm haven of academic seclusion, and spreading his exultant sails upon the surging waters of a wide and “rainy sea.” I see the healthful bloom upon his glowing cheek; mark the j oyous glitter of his undimmed eye; I hear the ringing tones of his youthful voice. Life fresh, ardent, enthusiastic life, with all of its novelty, its promise and vitality, are his—and he scents the sear-breeze, and longs for the billow’s deep soar. Long years have rolled by, and the time and the tide, which wait for no man, have swept him far far away. What a change —what a sadening melancholy change! Age and trouble have furrowed his once unwrinkled brow—time and infirmities have paled his once ruddy cheek—the gathering shades of the evening have dulled his lustrous eye; there were the inevitable conditions of nature—but oh! more than spirit is broken, once so elastic and free ; the heart is callous and hardened, once warm and out-gushing; the soul is suspicius and selfish, which was trustful and disinter ested What strange spell has wrought this fatal metamorphosis ? What magic incantation has drugged into death-like slumber the noblest aspirations of his being? ’Tis the crushing, contracting, suffocating spirit of worldliness ; ’tis the hot breath of a selfish utilitarianism, which has withered and scorched, until they died, the finest sensibilities of his nature. Oh! once how buoyant and hopeful; now how distrustful and de spondent ! Then he stood forth glorying in the joyous consciousness of his strength ; now, Hercules has put on the fiery tunic of Nessus—let him mount his funeral pyre and die. BAILBOAD MEETING AT HARTWELL. Proceedings of a railroad meeting held in Hartwell, Ga., July Ist, 1873, in the interest of the great railroad enter prise, which is now being proposed from Chicago to the sea board, via the. Augus ta and Hartwell Railroad. Read minutes of our last meeting, which were unanimously adopted At our last meeting the following resolutions were unanimously adopt ed: Whereas, We have heard with great gratification, that there is a prospect of the Augusta & Hartwell Railroad being built in connection with a great through line from the West to the sea, and in consequence of formidable competition from two rival routes, to wit: one by Anderson, and the other by Athens, it becomes essential to the success of the Augusta & Hartwell Railroad that the nearest, most direct, and cheapest should be selected for the location of said road; therefore, Rf.9ot.vkt)- ■ u — ■ J tonta.jvo .nww*— 1 -as SttcEJisto follow the line of the Blue Ridge Railroad to Beneca City, [the junction of the Blue Ridge Road with the Air Line Railroad], thence to Ander sonville, thence down the valley of the Savannah River to Augusta. Resolved, That to atttain the data requirite to make this appear, it be comes necessary that a competent sur vey should be made of raid route, and therefore we organize ourselves into an association, for the purpose of having the survey made through Hart coun ty Resolved, That a committee of one from each district of the county, inter ested in this route, be appointed to can vass for subscriptions for this purpose, and that said committee meet in Hart well, to report on Monday the 16th inst. Resolved, That we invite delegations from similar committees, to meet us on that day, from Elbert county, and An derson, S. C., and that said committees, if the necessary funds be raised, be em powered to have the survey made imme diately. The various committees on making their reports, on the 16th inst., guaran teed the necessary amount for the pur pose of making the survey, and from a statement received here to-day, the corps of engineers employed, commenc ed the survey last Monday, starting from Seneca City, and expect to reach this neigborhood very soon. The committees, on again reporting to-day show that the necessary amount of money has been subscribed in this county, and Dr. Clark, the delegate from Elbert county, guaranteed the necessary amount from that county. Motion made and carried, that the of ficers of the Agricultural Society, preside over our Railroad Association. Heard a few remarks from Dr. Clark, of Ruckersville, who feels sanguine of success, in this being the line eventually built, as a link of the great through line. He urges it important to our interests, that we have a convention, to be held as soon as possible, composed of all the citizens interested along the line, from Walhalla to Augusta, for the purpose of more effectually uniting our organiza tion. Motion made, and unanimously car ried, that a “Grand Railroad Mass Meeting,” be held in this place, on the first Tuesday in August, and a general invitation is hereby cordiolly extended all persons interested in this railroad; and especially those living along the route, on both sides of the river, from Seneca City to Augusta. Also that speakers from a distance be invited to be present to address the meeting. Motion made and carried, that invita tions be sent to the following gentlemen to be present as speakers: Gen. Harrison, Anderson, S. C.; Dr. Casey, Augusta; Dr. Wilkes, Linconton, Ga.; Hon. Elbert M. Rucker, Ruckers ville, Ga.; Hon. Henry R. Moore, Au gusta ; Jas. Jackson, Augusta ; and also this invitation is extended to all others interested to be present on the occasion as speakers. Motion made and carried, that a com mittee be appointed who shall solicit speakers to attend this meeting. The following were appointed: Dr. Clark, of Ruckersville,' and Dr. J. L. Turner, and Capt. J. T. Craft, of Hartwell. Motion made and carried that the Secretary be requested to send copies of these proceedings to Walhalla, An derson and Athens newspapers, also to the Chronicle & Sentinel, of Augusta, and the Elberton Gazette, all of which are respectfully requested to publish the same. Adjourned until the first Tuesday in August next C. W. Seidel, Sec’y. CURRENT* NOTES. —W After more than two months search the detectives found the clew to the Goodrich murder mystery and traced the crime to the woman Lizzie Lloyd King, alias Kate Stoddard, of whom we have read so much during the past few days. A coUple of negro boys were drowned in Warren County, on Saturday the 12th instant. The news from Washington is that the Attorney General of the United States has instructed the local attorney at New Orleans to prosecute Mr. Rhett, who killed Judge Cooley in the recent duel in Mississippi. An elegant Bible was started at one cent at a recent book auction in Nor wich, Conn. That kind of literature isn’t .popular down there. At the present time there are over 25,000 Americans in Paris, who spend on an average, if not quite, $500,000 a day.

It is specially adapted to constitutions “worn down ’ and debilitated by the warm weather of Spring and Summer, when the blood is not in active circulation, consequently gathering im purities from sluggishness aud imperfect action of the secretive organs, and is manifested by Tumors, Eruptions, Blotches, Boils, Pustules, Scrotula, &c. When weary and languid from everwork & (full ness, drowsiness and inertia take the place of energy and vigor, the system needs a Tome to build it up and help the Vital Forces to regain their recuperative power. In the heat of Summer, frequently the Liver and Spleen do not properly perform their functions ; the Uterine and Urinary organs are iliactive, pro ducing weakness of the stomach and intestines and a predisposition to billious derangement. Dr, Wells’ Extract of Jurubeba Is prepared directly from the South American Plant, and is peculiarly suited to all these difficulties; t will cleanse the Vitiated Blood, strengthen the Life-giving Powers , and Remove all Obstructions from Impaired and Enfeebled Organs.

The startling drawback on nearly all medicinal ager*s has ever been that in tlieir process of pur gation and purification they have also debilitat ed t-M system. To obviate this difficulty physi cians have long sought for an agent that would Purge, Purify and Strengthen At one and tlie same time. Tlieir research has at last been rewarded by a discovery which fully realizes the fondest desires of themedical faculty,and which is justly regard ed as the most important triunq h that Pharmacy has ever achieved. This important desideratum is Dr. Tutt’s Vegetable Liver Pills Which purify the blood and remove all corrupt humors and unhealthy accumulations from the body, and yet produces no weakness or lassitude whatever,but on the contrary tones the stomach and invigorates the body during the progress of their operation. They unite the heretofore irrec oncilable qualities of a Strengthening Purgative and a Purifying Tonic. Dp.. Tutt’s Pills are the most active and searching medicine in existence. They at once attack the very root of diseases, and their action is so prompt that in an hour or two after they are taken the patient is aware of theirgood effects. They may be taken at anytime without restraint of diet or occupation; they produce neither nau sea, griping or debility, and as a family medicine they have no rival. Price 25 cents a box.
