Herald and ^tertiseii. Newnan, Ga., Friday, May 18, 1888. Self-Education—How to Get It. ilaicus. in the Christian Union. What can a busy man or woman do to keep the results of his school educa tion and carry on the process still fur ther? In school we acquire either facts or principles; in life we must learn how to apply those facts and principles in practical affairs, or they are useless both to us and to others. * * How, in a busy life, can we get knowledge and apply knowledge? * * By observa tion. Life is all the time talking to us. lie will be always learning who keeps his eyes open and ears open. Some men are too busy, others loo lazy, and still others too self-conceited to hear what, life has to teach them. We have two eyes, two cars, and two nostrils to acquire information, and one tongue with which to give it. He is a wise man who understands the proportion which this fact indicates, and devotes six time as much energy to filling up as to giving out. * * Good compan ions are great teachers. The living teacher is better than the dead one. Every man knows something better than you know it, and will be willing to tell you if you are willing to listen to the telling. Most men like to part knowledge; but there is a choice of teachers—that is, of companions. The wise man will pick out companions wiser than himself. He will seek com panionship that is educative and stim ulating, not merely that which is allur ing and enjoyable. The advantage of school or college is largely the advan tage of intellectual companionship. * * In the long run, companions mould character. A man is made as well as knowm by the companions lie keeps. He who lives with pigs will learn to wallow; he who lives with birds will learn to lly, The graduate of the bil liard room or bowling alley or pool room learns nothing in its companion ship. Do not ask, Will this do me any harm? Ask, Will it do me any good? The companionship of much of w’hat we call “society” is little or no better. Small-talk is the smallest of all micro scopic subjects—a Sahara of sand to a grain of gold. * * The best place to find companionship ought to be at home. The first duty of the father and moth er is to furnish helpfeil companionship in the home. But there are many homeless people and many homes that are not educative, and no homes that can furnish all the education that our sons and daughter need. Where shall we spend out evenings? * * If there is no literary life in the village set some literary life a going. Find at least one companion who will read with you, then a second; there are enough to make a sympathetic circle. Church prayer-meetings are not always allur ing; not always, even, unfortunately, instructive; hut they furnish at least, better companionship than the street corners. * * Beading is an educator; whether it is a good or a bad educator depends on what you read. * * Bead good literature. Iso man in this j year of our grace 1SSS, who lives in I America, needs to be without a good ! library. The best books are in reach of the most meager purse. You can get a good companion for as little cost as a good cigar. * * Tour trouble is perhaps not want of money, but want of time. No! We all have time enough to learn if we have wisdom enough to use the fragments of our time. Henry Ward Beecher used to read between the courses at the dinner-table, and when he got interested in his hook W'ould take it for his desert. Hugh Miller lay prone before the tire studying while his companions were whiling away the time in idle jest and stories. A Lecture on “Treating.” inatl Times-Stnr. Col.

Mr. Perry was an ex- the mysteries of the art of housekeep-: cecdingly polite man. He would go ing, especially if she be wise enough to out of his way at any time to avoid of- neath the sons and daughters of Re publican America to emulate their good example, provided they possess tlx* requisite ability to do so. “Two years will suffice to make any bright, quick girl conversant with all study the art practically as well as the oretically. The management of ser vants and the care of the sick and chil dren will he incidentally learned in most homes, and can he sup; lemented by a more extended study of physiolo gy, hygiene, etc., than was possible at school. Sewing need not be neglected either, while leisure will readily be found for reading or any other recrea tion that may suit individual tastes. Another year, or longer, may he added to the time devoted to these pursuits, if desired. But, above all, let two or three years be conscientiously set apart fending a neighbor or a friend. One day a neighbor met him on the street wit h: “Hello, Mr. Perry, I was just going in to get a drink. Come in and have something.” “Thank you, Mr, ——: I don’t care for anything,” was the answer. “But come in and take something, just for sociability’s sake.” “Now, I want to be sociable and all that: I am anxious to he sociable, but 1 can’t drink with you.” “Ail right, if you don’t want to he sociable, I’ll go without drinking,” E.

Be not afraid, girls, that you will find your self-imposed task irksome. Remember that occupation is necessary to happi ness, and that there is no reason why you should not dream while you work. “The cry will be raised that there is along in the direction in which Mr. Parry was traveling. Presently the pair drew near a drug store, when Mr. Perry broke out with: “Mr. ——, I’m not feeling at all w r ell to-day, and I think I’ll go in this drug spared untold j store and get some castor oil. Won’t you join me ?” “What, in a dose of castor oil?” “Yes.” “Yaw, I hate the stuff,” saying which a chill went over the man as visible in | its effects to Mr. Perry as if the ague had seized him on the street. “But I want you to take a glass of oil with me, just to be sociable, you know.” The friend still refused, when Mr. danger that such a plan as the one Perry said: “Your sociable whisky is advocated here will tend to give girls a distaste for the quiet retirement of home, but there is little cause for fear. Not one girl in twenty will voluntarily choose a business life in preference to domestic happiness. Indeed, it is abso lutely certain that happy marriages would be promoted by this very inde pendence among women. Not being at leisure to nurse every passing fancy, girls would elect to wait patiently un til the light of true love came into their lives,” just as distasteful to me as my sociable oil is to you. Don’t you think I’ve as much reason to be offended with you as you have with me ?” The pair heartily shook hands, the dialogue was circulated in Covington, and Mr. Perry was never invited to drink again.
