Editob:— As “Observer” has again put himself upon record, as champion of the opposition to Houston’s Public School Law, with a lengthy, and what he doubtless considers, and 'believes to be, an unanswera ble resume of obeTv<ar Lord .and King. ' Think not that weian 'gain God’s favor, if we|labor not for Eim; Seek f ho poor, as did onr Savior, T lough in tuo haunt.s of vice and sin; Tiuiwe.inay true glory win. W-ion oar homes are bless’d with gladness A id .we’ve plenty in onr store, list’s cheer the hearts jppressd with sad ness, Let’s’help &a_worthy,.humble poor, And God will qaickly give ns more. Into the abodes of grief and sorrow Let’scarry sunshine while we may; Put off not until to-morrow What wa may perform to-day, Lest our hearts bo led.astray. Lazarus was poor and needy, Although he was a perfect saint; The rich man was both full and greedy, And heeded not the beggar faint, Though hunger was his chief complaint. Ah! could that rich man buy salvation, With Ms luxuries so sweet? He could not think of birth nor station. But by the beggar take his seat, And oven stoop to wash his feet. The smallest deed done in His name Is greater-far than wordly fame; Let’s show some weary soul the way, What greater homage coufd we pay To this; our Savior’s natal day? Mbs. S. E. Mitchom.

I promise to be brief, as there is bat one point in his remarkable criti cisms that deserves special notice. In his extreme prejudice to the law he has worked himself up to the point where he thinks he sees -great danger of there being two le gally constituted quorums formed out of the fourteen men to be chosen by the grand jury as the County Board of Education, and that these might become antago nized and set np two separate and distinct seta of public school ma chinery for the county. In which event he says: There would be a le gally constituted deadlock, with no provisions made to effect an ami cable adjustment of the difficulty. * * * * Did any body ever i hear of two qaorums in one body before?
