(By Prof. Earnest Seal, Principal Martin In stitute. ) Who has not felt the magic in fluence of that world-famous Bong, “Hume, Sweet Home ?” The se cret of its popularity is not any special excellence of metre, or even originality of thought. Rather it is the absence of originality. It merely voices in simple strains the melody of every human heart since the first home was built on earth until now. It is a subject that never tires, but has eternal mem ory and hope in it. Home is r. talisman; we whisper the word in our hearts, and wear the thought of it about us like a charm or am ulet. The fetters that bind us to home are the cords that connect us with all true progress and right development. The happiness of a well organized home is reflective in the lives of all true men and wo men w ho come in contact with its inmates. Home is the central point of all happiness, the pivot upon which depends the weal or i woe of families or communities. What, then, is so important as the right building of earthly homes in all spiritual and practical ways? What subject so fraught with great consequences as the hearth-stone ? The hearth-stone! How portent is that word 1 Oh, what memories gather around the old logs ablaze upon the hearthstone 1 Those were the days of unleavened bread, when life was not fermented and all the chambers of the imagiua tion were filled with visions bright and beautiful. The old fire upon the hearth-stone, home’s altar, is home itself in essence, and mem ory loves to dilate upon its cheer ful glow, its kindly warmth, its visions of the ideal future that was not to be. These remiuisences crowd my mind, and I indulge them as a fit exordim to the article it is my purpose to write in behalf of the young and their proper home and school training. It might be best for me and for you, fathers and mothers, to whom I write, to take even a more extended retrospective view of life—to turn back the cur tain of the years and become chil dren as of yore, that our hearts may beat in sympathy with these little ones about our knees whom God has entrusted to our care and keeping, and makes it our impera tive duty to rear into noble and useful manhood and womanhood. In memory, let us listen again to mother’s lulaby, or sit on father’s knee, or chase butter-flies in the garden, or play “in the meadow, the deep tangled wild wood, and every loved spot which our infancy knew,” or sport with the “birds singing gaily that come at our call,” and let us feel that inno cence of spirit, sweeter than all. Then turn to the little bright-eyed boy or the golden-haired girl at our side with a truer estimate of the value of a soul untouched by sin, and in return for thesuDshiue that childish purity has poured into our hearts, resolve with Heav en’s help to let no contaminating influence eusnair our children and blast their lives. “Rear up a child in the way he should go. and when he is old he will not depart from it.” “Early impressions are the most lasting.” That child is blest that begins life’s journey in a good home. But the time comes when the child must be turned over to the teacher, when one whose business in life it is to instruct the young, must become father and mother to the mind entrusted to his care and guidance. The early training of an immortal spirit is of such price less importance, its healthful growth, the unfolding of its pow ers, the nobleness of its character, and its success and happiness in life, depends in so great a degree upon what i 6 done in the earliest stages of its preparation, that the selection of a primary teacher ca pable of directing the processes of this preparation is of greatest im portance. Ido not believe that young girls make as good primary teachers as do women who them selves are mothers. Little chil dren should be kept in a cheerful atmosphere. They should not fall into an anxious way, a habit of solicitude about lessons or any thing else. All the lessons ever taught in school are not worth so heavy a price. The anxious habit may come to form a part l of the very being; it may throw a dark shadow over the soul, which neither the delights of prosperity nor the consolation of religion can remove. The world will become cheerless and empty to one who has lost this sunshine of the »oul. An anxious habit, fixed, is a dis ease which no medicine can cure. School houses should not be jails to hold the spirits of children in confinement and constraint, es pecially at that age when every thing in a child’s nature proclaims that he ought to be free aud hap py. Little children should never be kept at school in the same room with larger and more advanced pupils; if so, a great part of their time is sacrificed and with it tht peace of the whole school. The child has many faculties, all im patient to be exercised, all spring ing out with delightful eagerness towards innumerable objects with which a Wise Creator has sur rounded His creatures in this beautiful world. Five minutes at a time, four or five times a day, spent upon letters and words, will enable him to learn their appear ance more rapidly aud cheerfully than in the way usually pursued in our country schools. The appa ratus for such a school would be a collection of things—natural ob jects, stones, woods, fruits, grains; thiugs to handle, weights to lift, ropes to pull, balls to throw, beans and corn to measure; objects to exercise the eye, the ear, the hands. It is foolish to believe that just anybody can teach a little child, To theoontrary.it requires a teach er of extensive information, of great resources, inventive, apt to teach, of pleasant manners, full of kindness, and a lover of chil dren. The next grade is for children who have learned to read and write. It should present a new scene, a new room, a new teacher, to gratify that insatiate love of novelty, which we complain of, while we forget it is one of the most beuevolent provisions of the Maker for the happiness of His children. The apparatus of this room should be black boards,chalk, tablets, pencils, and a child’s li brary. Reading must receive care ful attention, writing must be taught, written spelling must be a frequent exercise, the elements of drawing must be introduced, men tal arithmetic must be begun. Hero may also be taught the tables of weights and measures, not mere ly from books, but by actual use of the quart cup, the yard stick, aud other standards, With these exercises should be introduced the elements of English Grammar, taught orally, and oil the black board, and practiced on the tablet, in making sentences, so as from the beginning to bear its fruits of correctly written sense. The teach er of this school should be accom plished, and especially have great readiness in explanation and con versation. It is my purpose to give in this article a sketch of the plan, and an outline of the course to be pur sued at Martin Institute. But my article is growing lengthy, and as I wish to proceed, step by step, from the primary to the highest depart ment, alluding to important par ticulars, with a view to bringing about unity of purpose and con cert of action on the part of trus tees, teachers, patrons and pupils, I shall require another week for the completion of my undertaking. When I consider the resources and unbounded capacities for im provement of Jefferson’s educa tional advantages, and th 6 cheer ing fact that through Martin In stitute, whatever may be done for the few may be done for all, that any child, however poor, may re ceive, as freely as he does the light of Heaven, a finished education, I can conceive no nobler object of honorable ambition for our citi zens than the execution of the free school plan we are proposing. Counting nothiug done while so j much remains to he done, my own i resolution is made; God helping 1 me through your instrumentality, |my children and your children and your children shall receive ! the best education that the Martin endowment, the public school fund, the municipal taxation, the wisdom of trustees, the assistance of an able faculty, the confidence of patrons, a magnificent build ing, and excellent equipment,make possible. AGUINALDO IN HIDING. Abandoned the Troops. Items I'rom the I’lilllipiues and Cuba. Washington, Deo. 19.—Gen Otis cabled to the war department the following important advices from Manila: “Fifty men of the navy and fifty men of thenrmy, transported by the navy, took Laog on the 10th instant. Gen. Young with staff followed next day, He re ports a battalion and a portion of the Thirty-third infantry passed north to Ridding east of Laog.

Young states the extreme northern force has passed over the mountains, driving the insurgents under Gen. Tino, who is badly wounded, killing fifty and wouud iug many.

Major Batchelder is ninety miles south of Apparri, and his command in in good condition.” WOOD WILL RELIEVE BROOKE. Washington, Dec. 19.—8 y direc tion of the President. Maj. Gen. Leonard F. Wood, U. S. V., has been assigned to the command of the division of Cuba, relieving Maj. Gen. John R, Brooke, U.S.A. Maj Gen.

CUBANS CRYING FOR LIBERTY, Santiago deCuba, Dec. 19.—A meeting held at the Antonio Ma ceo Club to celebrate the anniver sary of the death of Maceo, devel oped a violent patriotic demon stration against the Americans. This club represents the Nation al party, and is composed of col ored people. There wore 1,000 persons present. One prominent politician said that the time was nearly ripe for the spirit of free Cuba to leap from the grave of Macoo and drive the intruders from the island. All criticised President McKin ley’s Cuban policy, although Gen. Quinden Bat dera made a mild speech, advising patience until the American policy had been fully defined. Bandera says he fears the Cu bans will finally accept annexa tion. The local press violently criti cises President McKinley’s mes sage.

WILSON & CO., Dacula, Ga. THE BOERS FLEE From British Bayonets. The Doughty Dutch Can’t Stand Cold Steel. London. —With the exception of Sunday’s sortie at Ladysmith, which the morning papers are unanimous in regarding as a bril liant piece of work, there are liu further advices from the seat of war. A war office dispatch reports that Mafeking was safe up to Dec. 4, but that the Boers had been shelling the town since Nov. 27, with increased effect. Rations had been considerably reduced, meat by half a pound and bread by a quarter of n pound in view of a probable siege. Water, howev er, was still plentiful. The Boers fear the British bayonets. This is illustrated in the full accounts now arriving of previous sorties. It seems that in Sir Archibald Hunter's sally from Ladysmith to capture the Boer guns the British did not carry Bayonets. While they were storming the hill the Boers, suddenly aroused from sleep, rushed to the edge and opened an indiscriminate fire upon them. But just before the British secured a footing on top of the hill some one among them shouted : “Fix bayonets aud give them cold steel.” At this the Boers turned and fled into the darkness.. Little mention is made in the war office dispatches of horses, but it is understood the losses in this respect have been exceedingly heavy. Among the officers alone 20 or 80 of their mouuts have been shot under them, the Boers’ tac tics being fit to shoot at an officer’s horse and then at the rider when dismounted. Gen. Gatacre’s disaster atStorm berg has been attributed to lack of knowledge of the country. Ac cording to the Daily Telegraph, when the war began there were no official maps available at Cape town, and therefore it is probable that Gen. Gatacre is still without them. FRANCE URGED TO WAR. Paris, Dec. 19.—The entire French press urges a declaration of war with England. This is the result of an article i in the Petit Journal, which says that the Foreign Office has re ceived proof that the recent dis orders at Kwang Choo, China, j which resulted in the murder of French naval officers, were fo mented by the British. “Now,” says the paper, “is the time for France to avenge Fasho da.” There is a horrible rumor afloat that Com Paul whiskers will be popular this winter.—Columbus Ledger.

He be longs to that school which in Con necticut is called “shouting Meth odists,” and insists upon his right to be demonstrative whenever he feels happy. The other members of the flock from which he has been expelled tried to prevail upon him to be less noisy, but he only shouted the louder; therefore they concluded that the only way they could secure quiet and harmony in their worship would be to get rid of the noisy member.
