the industrial pursuits are his ultimate
destiny, give him every taeilitv for
making him a first-class worker in his
} chosen field. But let the mind, the
instrument by which success is won, if
at all, first receive strength from
' preliminary discipline before en
tering upon special studies. What we
need, and wbat we must have, is a
j wise Id aiding of the old education and
; the lie. . 1 have hie', hopesof results to
be achie ved throua'i the establishment
in our State of our College!'of AjrrK
cullur.? and the Mechanic Arts. Our
legislators, if competent to the dis
charge of the high trust leposed in
;h'’'n will not fail to make, from time
to time, such additions to the munifi
cent gift of the general government, as
shall put within the reach of this col
lege means for attaining the highest
degree of efficiency. VVe must not
neglect the improvement of the minds
of our children—the richest, by far, of
all the abundant treasures bestowed
upon us by a benificent Providence.
If we do, strangers, and not our own
children, will profit by the development
of our immense resources destined to
take place in the near future.
But it may be asked, what has this
argument in favor of the higher educa
tion to do with the establishment cf a
system of common schools ? I answer
much ; and I shall endeavor, in a few
words, to show wherein. All the high
er education ever furnished in this or
any other country, is in the nature of
common school education. Let me
take the University of Georgia by
which to make my illustration. I sup
pose that the real estate, buildings, li
braries, apparatus, etc., of the Univer
sity are woith not less than $150,000.
The trustees have a further capital of
$100,000, obtained from the .State, anil
loaned years ago to the donor, "ti which
they are receiving $5,t)<‘h'. as annual in
terest. The laud -crip land amounts
to $240,000. The entire capital of the
University thus sums up$470,000. The
salaries of the faculty amount to $30,-
000. If private capitalists were con
ducting the University as a business
enterprise, the annual capital required
wouM thus be $520,000. In view of
the fact that they would be under the

upon the question of the influence of
education upon the productivene« of
labor. Three thousand copies of this
circular were scut out, north, south

numbers of laborors in agriculture, mi
ning, and the various branches of man
ufactures. Many of them replied, and
from all those employing white labor
ers, the response was almost unanimous
They nearly all agreed that, according
to their observation, the effect of edu
cation is to increase the productiveness
of labor. In their estimate of the rate
of increase, they differed, some stating
it at ten per cent, while others went as
high as one hundred, according as the
nature of the employment demanded
more or less intelligence. The testi
mony of those employing colored labor
ers in farm work was, to some extent,
conflicting, some stating that they had
observed a difference between the pro
ductiveness of the labor of their igno-
raut and their partially instructed em
ployees, while others had discovered
no difference. In the case of the col
ored laborers, there is simply a want ot
experience, as the few counted as edu
cated have but a smattering of learuing.
The results of the investigation, as a
whole, furnishing proof ns decisive as
testimony can well make it, that the
educated laborer is a much more effi
cient producer than the ignorant one.

We had * lively set-to one day last

the Twin Valley House. He was the
representative of the Wheeler and

We inquired about the Wheeler and
Wilson ; told him that we never saw

Then he brightened np, rolled his eyes
to the “wiud’ard,” ana told us “a hup
of stuff” that wa never beard before.
He said that the ‘.'WbeeUrand Wilson"
was the only good ma.chine in the mar

FOOLING A CAR-DRIVER.
The other night, as the “ last car”
on the Peachtree route was leaving
’Squire Patterson’s, two young men
who had fixed up a straw mao iu good
shape, helped him aboard and seated
him at the furthest end from the driver.
The “ dummy” man had his hat pulled
low, his arms down, aod was so braced
up against the end of the car, that “he”
looked as much a passenger as any one.
The car moved off after awhile, and as
it turned into Forest Avenue, an old
lady got aboard. She paid her fare,
and the two young men followed suit,
and the car moved on again, the driver
keeping his eye on the “dummy” and
woodering if he was going to try to

contemplates tho establishment, not

themselves for its support. This policy
has simply been delayed. Its ultimate

that when it is adopted, the high
schools instituted will each become a
feeder to the colleges. I trust the two
considerations mentioned show, with

“Grashusme! If there's going to
be a fight, let me off!” shouted the old
lady, and she rushed down the car and
made a clean jump from the door.
I “ Now, then, are you going to pay
your fare?” said the driver, as he en
tered the car.
*' Pay be hanged,” was the muttered
reply._
You’d better look out for him;
he’s ugly!” whispered the other young
man to the driver.
“ I don’t care if he’s as ugly as John
Jacob Astor; he’s got to pay his fare
or off he goes!”
The driver slid down the eud of the
car. spit on his bauds, and continued:
“ Come, now—out with your fare,
or off you go!”
There was no reply, no movement,
and spitting on his hands again, he
called out:
“Well, here you come!” and he
grabbed “dummy” by the shoulders.
His object was to jerk the “ fellow” out
of doors, and, expecting a struggle, he
put all his strength in a mighty effort.
It was very successful. The driver
weut out of the car heels over head,
with the straw man on top of him, and
the young men leaped off the front end
of the car, just as the victim was try
ing to get his thumb in the straw man’s
eye.
in home manufactures and the advance
in the continental were due to the neg

and intelligent attention given to these
subjects in the other? Shall I cite the
well known, but humiliating fact that
certain States of this Union with a
sterile soil, an unfriendly climate and
inferior natural resources, have, by
their attention to popular education,
grown rich, and, for a series of years,
Have made other States, far more fa
vored by nature, tributary to their
material prosperity ? With the lesson
contained in tbe facts cited before us,
our State cannot afford to stand still
while others are moving forward in the
march of progress inaugurated by the
great educational awakening now pre
vailing almost everywhere, both at
home and abroad.”

to a certain point mental training must

Broken Friendship.—Friendship
is a good deal like china. It is very
durable and beautiful as long as it n
quite whole; but break it, and all the
cement in the world will not quite re
pay the damage.
You may stick the pieces together
so that at a distance it looks nearly as
well as ever ; but won’t bold hut wa-
er. It is always ready to deceive you
if you trust it; but it is on the whole
a very worthless thing, fit only to be
put empty on a shelf and forgotten
there.
The finer and more delicate it i-, the
more utter the ruin. A mere acquain
tanceship, which needs only a little ill-
humor to keep it up, may be coarsely
puttied like that old yellow basin in
the store closet; but tenderness, and
trust, and sweet exchange of confi
dence, can no more be yours when
angry words have broken'them, than
can those delicate porcelain tea-cups,
which were splintered to pieces, be re
stored to their original excelence. The
slightest crack wifi spoil the ring, and
you had better seach for a new friend
than mend the old one.
And all this has nothing to do with
forgiveness. One may forgive and be
forgiven, but the deed has been done,
and the word said; the flowers and the
gilding are gone. The formal making
especially between two women, is of
no more avail than the wonderful
cements that have made a cracked ug
liness of the china vase that you ex
peeled to be your joy forever.
Handled delicately, washed to puri
ty in the waters of troth, confided to
no careless, uu-yinpathisin; bands,
friendship may fast two lives out; but
it does not pay to try to mend it.—
Once broken, it is spculed forever.

A LESSON FOR FATHERS.
The great secret of success in bring*-
ing up children is to establish and pre
serve confidence between parents and
children. If the father is the boy’s
best friend, as all wise mothers are the
girl’s, there will be no trouble iu keep-
ing a them from bad associates whose
vicious examples and silly bravado
have a lasting effect upon their charac
ters.
Fathers, in your efforts to secure
fortunes for your families, remember
that money will not save you from
many a heartache if your boys go
wrong, and that their only safety is in
being kept close at your side, helping
you from childhood in your business,
aud you in turn sharing their fun and
play.
Nothing is so flattering to boys as
the society of their fathers, and noths
ing makes a man so popular with them
as bis joining in their amusements.
Try to do this, and your sons will try
in turn to understand your cares and
troubles.
Take as much pains to preserve them
from contamination in the shape of
immoral companionship as mothers do
their girls, and you will find them
growing up to be modest and virtuous
men, fit companions and husbands for
girls who have been carefully guided
and guarded from all knowledge of
evil.
Devote your evenings to family
amusements and pleasures. Invite
young people to your house, and pay
them attention, instead of going off to
bed or shutting yourself in another
room the moment they make their aps
pearance, as if there was, and could be,
nothing between your manhood and
their youth. So shall you be kept
young in heart, and the inexperience
of your sons will be tempered with
something of the sobriety of experience.
—American Grocer.
He was a Quaker, lean, solemn and
hungry looking. He stepped into a
restaurant to dine. Bread, meat, veg
etables and a pie were placed before
him. Before he reached tbe pie his
appetite was satisfied.
“ How much am I to pay thee?” he
said to tbe waiter.
“ Fifty cents, sir.”
He looked sadly at the untouebed
pie and hesitated.'
“ Will the price be the same if I eat
the pie?” he asked.
“Yes,, sir” said the waiter; “ it is
fifty cents for tbe dinner.”
' Then the Quakersat down again and
disposed of the pie, because he pres
ferred to make his stomach suffer
than that his conscience should ever
accuse him of not getting his money’s
worth.
Then he went home and shortly af
terwards died, and his epitaph reads:
Of hunger he died not;
Neither from gunshot:
Bat his belly he trusted
- Too long and it busted.
How He Won Her.—A young
couple were occupying a rustic seat in
Union Park one evening this week,
and. from the expression of the mass
culihe representative’s face it was evi
dent that he was “ a goner”—drifted,
as it were, over the great psychologi
cal Niagara of affection, ami was even
then being dizzily whirled about in the
frothy whirlpool ot sentiment, , The
swimming swans had no charm for
him ; the eagles were as nothing, and
he did not even notice the big white
bear. V • •
‘ Oh, do be mine,” he said, attempt
ing to draw her a litderieiMtihis end
of the seat.
She made herself rigid and beared a
ligb. \ ‘J
: “ IU he a good man and give up all
my bad habits,” he urged. -
~No reply.
“ I’ll never drink another drop,” he
continued.
Still unrelenting sat the object of his
adornation.
“ And give up chewing—•"
No response.
“ And smoking—”
Cold as ever.
“ And join the church—"
She only shook her head.
“ And give you a diomond engage
ment ring,” lie added in despirntion.
Then the maiden lifted her droop
ing eyes to his, leaning her frizzes on
his shoulder, tremblingly murmured
into his ravished ear.
“Oh, Edward, you—you are so
good!”
And there they sat, and sat, until
the soft arms of night—that dusky
nurse of the world—had folded them
from sight, pondering, planning,
thinking—she of the diamond ring,
and he of how on the earth lie was to
get it.
Bei.ikvf. in Yourself.—It is said
that when John C. Calhoun was in
Yale College, lie was ridiculed by his
fellow-students for his inteu.se applica
tion to study.
“ Why, sirs,” said he, “ I am forced
to make the most of my time that I
may acquit myself creditably when in
Congress. Do you doubt it ? I as
sure you if I were not convinced of my
ability to reach the national capital as
a representative within three years, .1
would leave college this very day 1”
Let every young man thus have faith
in himself, and earnestly take hold of
life, scorning all props and buttresses,
all crutches and life preservers. Let
him believe, with Pestaiozzi, that no
man ou God’s earth is either willing or
able to help any other man. Let him
strive to be a creator, rather than to
borrow. Instead of wielding the rus
ted sword of valorous fore-fatliers, let
him forge his own weapons, and con
scious ot the God in him and the prov
idence over him, let him fight his own
battles with his own fauoe. Instead of
sighing for an education, capital# for
friends, and declaring that “ if he only
had these, he would be somebody,” let
him remember that, as Horace Gree
ley said, he is looking in the wrong
end of the telescope; that if he only
were somebody he would speedily have
all tbe boons whose absence he’>L be
wailing. Instead of being one of the
foiled potentialities of which the world
is so full—one of the subjunctive he
roes, who always might, could, would
should do great thing*, is what «o-
body, can understand—let him he in
the imperative mode and do that of
which his talents are indicative.
This lesson of self-reliance once
learned and acted on, and every man
will discover within himself, under
God, the elements and capacities of
usefulness and honor, “ Getting on in
the world.”
Omo.—Says the.Nashville Banner:
The contest in Ohio would appear to
be rather one-sided, judging by the
following, which we take from the
Cincinnati Enquirer: “ It is unneces
sary to argue the question. The elec
tion of Allen is conceded by the most
intelligent men in this end of the
State. Against him there are nn
wagers worth taking.” Referring to
the same subject the St. Louis Re.
publican—anti-“ inflation,” too—re
marks : “ One fact is worth remark
ing, viz., that the Republicans are ac
tually tame and spiritless in their
speeches, while the Democrats alone
exhibit enthusiasm and aggressiveness.
The indications at present are strongly
in favor of the latter, bufthere i* no
conjecturing what may turn up between
now and the day of election.
Paddy to the Front agatn.—An
Irishman had sold his farm, and moved
all of his personal property to one ad
joining, which he had purchased.
He claimed that stable manure was
personal property and not real estate,
and commenced moving the same—a
law suit ensued, and the Court declared
against him.
His final remarks to the Judge, af
ter the Jury bad found a verdict
against him, were as follows:
“ Mr. Judge, a horse and a cow are
personal property!”
“ Yes,” answered the Judge.
“Mr. Judge, corn, oats, hay, Ac.,
are personal property!”
“ Yes,” responds the Judge.
Then says Pat, “How in thedivH
can personal property eat personal
property and produce real estate?”
A California story tellsofa man who
