ti VO furi'.iiijnental prepositioiiis ot
geometry. The combiticd wiidora
of ihuse iliuBtrous piiilosophers
made Plato the hoijor aud orna
ment of Ilia age and oounlry.
Now Plato plainly teaches that a
man ought to die, rather than vi-
olate the law? of the land in which
he lives; for if the laws do not
suit him, it i? his duty and privi
lege to go out ficm iindor them,
and choose a hcnio in some coun
try whose laws he likes better.
Neither can the otiense he pallia
ted by the fact that faithles-s clfi-
cuils do not enforce the law ; ibr
in the days of the greatest corrup
tion of public men, the country has
greatest need of pure and spotless
patriotism on the part of private
citizens.
3. A iofteiT is a gnmeofehance.
.How dithcuh to iectiirc boys on
liciicstv and warn tlnviii against
every specie? of gaiiibling; wiiile
they begin life by living on the
piocceds oi' a lottery! Honest toil
should bo ccmniondod to thorn by
precept and by example. The
danger of tarnpicriiig with temp
tation should be pointed out.
Hveii the giant judge of Israel
lost his strength while dallying on
Delilah's lap, and lie, who had
held a nation in terror, was led
blind and feeble to do the work
of a beast of burden.
4. Wc opened the Orphan
Asylum on the faith that, if
ccomically and judiciously con
ducted, the benevolent people of
the State would support it, by vol
untary and direct contributions.
Now can we, in the face of our
liberal receipts, admit that our ex
pectation.? have been disappoint
ed, and that the help of a lottery
is needed to carry on the work ?
Such an admission would be an
ungrateful slander on our iio’ole
and generous contributors.

Edward Asbury Lumsdeii, of
Wilkes, died of wiioopiiig-cough
and croup on the 22nd of h'cbrua-
ry,,.1:8.74. John Joseph Griflin, oi
Nasli, died of whooping-cough
and heai’t disease on the 20th of
May, 1874. .Experienced physi
cians and skillful curses gavi
them assidious attention; but
deatli laid his icy hands upon
them and led them, where their
fathers and mothers had gone be
fore. I know some orphans now
eerving as slaves in negro f.vniilios,
with no prospects, but lives of
shame and degradation before
them. If they had died, I could
have exclaimed, “The Lord gave
aud the Jjord hath taken away,
blessed be the ii.ame of the Lord.”
But these boys were obedient, dili
gent and promising. We cherished
the hope of seeing them grow up
into wise and useful men. Yet
