It jg troublesome and deep digging for pure water, but when you come to the springs, they rise up and meet you. Every grain helps fill the bushel; so does the improve ment of every moment increase knowledge. Let cur memories linger but a few moments on past school days, when mamma taught us to lisp the a. b. c., and so on through the alphabet. With what fortitude she taught us from A. to %. Step by step, from then to the present time, when I seat myself to address you upon . this impor tant subject, many pleasant mem ories are called to mind, and some real amusing scenes—our dinner baskets and buckets, the girls’ places of resort, “the sweet gum pond,” the boys’ heaven, the “wash-hole,” where he learned to swim at recess, the different pro fessors whose patience we have so often taxed by our misconduct and dullness at lessons; from first till now, up the ladder, one round after auother, with our eyes fixed on the top round, when we are to receive our “sheep-skin” diploma. By gaining a good education •you shall have your reward in the rich stores of knowledge you have collected, and which shall ever be at your command, more valuable than earthly treasure. While fleets may sink,^store-houses con sume, banks totter and riches flee, the intellectual investment you have thus made will be permanent and enduring; unfailing as the constant flow of Niagara or Ama zon; a bank whose dividends are perpetual, whose wealth is undi minished, however heavy the drafts upou it; which, though moths may impair, yet thieves can not break through nor steal. Nor will you be able to fill this store house. Pour into a glass a stream of water, and at last it will fill to the brim and will not hold another drop. But you may pour into your mind, through a whole life time, streams of knowledge, upon every conceivable question, and not only shall it never be full, but it will constantly thirst for more, and welcome each fresh supply with a greater joy. Nay, more; 3 7 ou may impart to ail around 3 r on of the gladdening streams which have so fertilized 3’our own mind, and yet, like the candle from which a thousand other candles may be lighted without diminishing its flame, your supply will not be im paired. On the contrary, your knowledge, as you add to it, will it self attract still more' as it widens your realm of thought, and thus in your own life will you realize the parable of the ten talents, for “To him that hath shall be given.” “The beginning of wisdom is to fear God; but the end of it is to love Him.” “The highest learn ing is to be wise; the greatest wis dom is to be good.” “Take the bright shell from its home on the lea, And wherever it goes it will sing of tbo sea.” What we have seen of men, and tee, have fixed the dates for hold- o£ the world, convinces us that one ! not to be.

All fear of yellow fever havi was a HttIe smaUer or 1 was a ht ~ ing subsided, and the country i tle bi 2g er > 1 do # « mach A Man Who Had the Gout. There is a man in town who has the rheumatic gout, says the New York Evening Sun. He also has great riches, and a collection of art and curios that have been the joy and solace of a life much bro ken up by the twinges of his great toe. This collection he values be yond his moue3 7 , and is in great fear of its falling into the hands of a relative who is his nearest heir. This he determined at all hazards should not occur; at the same time he will not make a will, although his attacks of gout are frequent and dangerous. Like many men, he is supersti tious about making a will. He feels that if it were once done there would be nothing left but to wait for the undertaker. The re sult is that when he is free from pain he feels the collection to be safe, but when an attack comes on it is intensified by the man’s ludi crous fear lest he will die before he has put it out of his brother’s reach. His doctor and friends have ar gued with him, but to no purpose. Every time he is violently seized the servants run for the doctor and lawyer at the same time. Tables are drawn up, and pen, ink and paper are in readiness as prompt ly as the medicines. Again and again wills have been drawn up, but no matter how low he has been he has never yet signed one. The other da\- he had a violent seizure. There was the usual hur ry 7 and scurry. He was really 7 felt to be dying, aud as the end was supposed to be near, he was held up in bed, quill iu hand, and the family Held their breaths in sus pense at the spectacle. His breath was growing fainter and fainter. His hand was carried to the pa per, but he did not sign. He seemed to be calculating for just time enough-to sign his name, and then, in the language of the novel ist, to let the pen drop from his nerveless grasp and expire. The alarm.of the family finally gave wa3 7 to an unruly curiosity as to which would win, the sick man or death. But the old man won. He breathed better, and at length he spoke out with decision: “I guess I won’t sign it to-day.” They knew then that he was safe for another attack. having recovered from the effects of the recent floods, all obstacles to success have been removed.

We are assured by Sec retory Nisbet that the prospect is unusully bright. The postpoue- ment has gained a special advan tage in the matter of live stock and the races. The entries in both those departments will be much larger than tlie\ 7 would have been in October. The dates as they now stand form a good racing circuit with Macon in the lead, followed by Columbus and Augusta in or der named. This assures the best races seen in Georgia in many 3 7 ears, which alone will be worth a trip to Macon. McIntosh, Talbot and Hancock counties are in the race for the $1,000 premium, with a very strong probability that Houston will fol low suit;'thus you see there will be no lack of interest, information and amusement for all. The State Fair belongs to the people of Georgia, and the people of Georgia should see to it that there are full exhibits and big crowds. No less than three of the Lon don theaters are managed by wo men. Grace Hawthorne is mana ger and lessee of the Princess, and is soon to have another thea ter built for her. Mrs. John Wood presides over the affairs of the New Court Theater, and Mrs. Lane Lane runs one of the most flour ishing theaters iu the East End. Miss Edith Woodworth has also shared the management of the Globe with Edgar Bruce. The public schools in Jersey City are so overcrowded; and there are so many children unable to gain admittance, that the board of education is considering the pro- priet} 7 of adopting a plan to have halffday sessions, one half of the children to attend school iia the morniDg, and the other half in the afternoon.

But, my friends, we must all try to pull together and put him in the White House for its the best we can do now, and any scarecrow of a republican is better there than a Democrat; and I’ll be there on hand, anywa3 7 , when he is elected, to coach him and give him points and good ad vice and steer him out of the scrapes he’ll be sure to get into if I’m not ther—to.be, in short your your real President—behind the little Indiana figure head who has to run to his granddadcly for his half prestige. * He will, will he ?

Nearly 1,700 regular pasenger trains enter and leave the depots of New York and her sisier cities daily, exclusive of exccursion trains. Ten yaars ago there were not 500.

The manner, however, in which the Tribune attempts to to connect the telephone litigation with the political canvass is ridic ulous, and will not command the respect of thinking men anywhere. It is admitted by republicans that the government has a right to bring-a suit to test the validity of the Bell telephone patents, or any other patents. The government brought such a suit. It was al leged freely that Bell had obtained his patents, by fraudulent means, and that the immense monopoly which these patents made possible was based upon fraud. It was the duty of the government to deter mine judicially whether or not this allegation were true, because if it were the people ought to have the benefit of the truth, and to be re lieved from the exactions of a great monopoly. Judge Thurman was retained by the government as one of the counsel to test the validity of the patents. This was long before there was any thought of nomina ting him for idee president. He lias appeared before the courts more than once in these telephone cases. He has studied thoroughly, and has all the of them well in : hand. He has re ceived a part of his compensation. Under-the circumstances could he honorably withdraw 7 from them? Is there any excellent reason why he should? Because he is a can didate for a great office, is that any reason why he should give np bis legitimate business? Has n#t General Harrison, attended to his law business since he has been a presidential candidate? No lawyer, however nice his sense of honor may be, cau find any reaspnable excuse for not ac cepting a fee from the government to act as counsel iu the Bell tele phone cases. The suits being honest ones, and Judge Thurman being a lawyer of prominence, the Tribune will have hard work to convince any considerable number of its readers that his appearance in thern'is an indecent perform ance. He would have been open to very serious criticism if he had withdrawn from the cases as soon as he was nominated.
