j It. was our pleasure to spend a
j few pleasant hours at the home of
| Mr, John Hill, Sr., last Sunday ev
; ening. Judge Hill, his wife and
; daughter, Mrs. Owen Chambers,
i were present. Mr. Hill, Sr., and
: his wife, though both ripeaing in
year*, are enjoying exceedingly
good health.
A man cauio in the Journal of
fice the other day. lie had not boon
in the room a minute, until we
knew that v.*e were in t.h-5 prest nee
of ft rnan of ‘‘function.” His firs!
inquiry was to know if the* Journal
was ifiot making lobs of money.'
The next thing was to point out a
“bad typographical error” ita last
j week’s paper, and to mildly sug-
I gost that a competent proof reader
I and local writer would improve the
paper and secure many new sub
scribers. This was admitted. lie
was asked to write a local on spring
gardening, and to see how quick ho
could get it ready. In one hour by
the office clock he came back in a
sweat and laid down liio following
item. Here it is verbatum: “It h
with Profound and Someshus ple
zieur that we Notisirish Infers and
sweet’uns is being planted. It is
now the Rite time of she Moone and
we Notised our old college friend,
Lafierty with his sleeves oh - (we
made a mistake) ruled up digging
in his guardin.”
Education, —Aristotle said, “If
the gods (as .they appear to do)
concern themselves about human
affairs, it is reasonable to conclude
that they should most delight in
the energies of the intellect.” If a
heathen, born near 400 years be
fore our Savior was born, should so
highly esteem the cultivation of the
J intellect, ought not we, who are
I living in the noontide of the world's
! enlightenment, boasting as we do,
that wo are living under the best
g ivernment the world ever saw, be
ashamed of ourselves?
Here wears, enjoying a moder
ate degree of prosperity, and in
fact, doing well enough financially,
with no school! Let us awake from
the Rip Van Winkle sleep that
seems to have overtaken us and ask
ourselves a few honest questions.
Ist. Are wo too poor to pay a
teacher? N. We can have fine
heuses, and fine clothes; we in
duJge even ia 1 usuries.
It is not poverty.
2nd. Is it because we have not
children enough? Mo, the country
is full of them, and they are multi
plying with incredible rapidity.
3rd. Do our children know
enough already? No, they are grow
ing ia ignorance. There is hardly u
boy under 10 years of ago in the
community, th... can extract the
square root of a given number off
iiand. Is not this true? “’lds a pity”
—a shame! 4th. Yfhat is the mut
ter wilh us? Answer.—We do not
appreciate education; we do not
realize what an awful responsibili
ty is upon us.—that of educating
our children. They are bound to
take back seats if wo don’t go to
! work, and provide Ar them ia this
