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 necessity of providing for insurance, repairs ot buildings, regular additions '.o the library, apparatus, Ac., it would ■jot be mireas mnMe for them to make This would he Gommnnicaiions.

Three thousand copies of this circular were scut out, north, south east, and west to men eoiploying large 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 week,, with & nice looking gentleman at the Twin Valley House. He was the representative of the Wheeler and Wilson Sewing Machine- Company. We inquired about the Wheeler and Wilson ; told him that we never saw ooe, and was asking for information. 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 ket, as be coaid prove by certificates id his possession. Then he drew a greasy piece of paper from hie pocket, *nd read soanothteg like the faUowiag: " This is to certify that I have gained 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 heat hi> bn.

The effect of policy has been seen in i; >• marked improvement ex hibited iu all the various industries ol those countries in the la-t f-w year.-. An effort has also lwen made iu some of the No-thern States to meet this want. The Lawrence Scientific High School of Harvard University, the Sci entific School connected with Yale College, and the provision made lor -eientific instruction in Cornell Univer sity may be mentioned as examples of the kind. The Act of Congress pro viding for what are known as Agricul tural Colleges recognizes the same want. This Act provides that “ the leading object” of these colleges “ shall be, without excluding other scientific and classical studies, and including military tactics, to teach such branches of learning as are related to agricul• lure and the mechanic arU, in such man ner os the legislatures of the States j tween the higher and the lower educa- may respectively prescribe, in order to i tion. ambled her ancieut eueiuy, sheet:- to-day, a first-class power in all the i ements of national greatness.

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 lect of popular and technical educa tion, in the one case, and tiie earnest 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.” Gustaves J.

Up to a certain point mental training must still be conducted mainly, if not exclu sively, with a view to the effect of the training upon the miud itself. From the int.-digept white man was more productive than that of the ignorant slave; some estimating the productive yield of the former at two, some at three, and some even at four times that of the fatter. Owing to this dif ference of opinion, the baas ofp tion was abandoned, and that of the 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. hall have doue. _ ular to get middle names in full, and Buffiops Corner, Lp Stairs, so enter them on the form.

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 resolved to give up drinking and went to a notary to draw np an affidavit to thatefiect. The doccument was drawn, read and approved;) the party held up his hand and murmured the usual promise. The paper was then properly sealed and delivered. “ What’s to pay* asked tbe pledge-taker. * To pay—to pay ?” exclaimed the notary. “ Noth ing, of course—this is a labor of k>v&” “ Nothing to pay ?” returned the grate ful but forgetful pledge-taker. “You are a brick.
