I A special feature of the law incorpo rating our school is that every resident l patron is credited with the Public Ifund3 apportioned to his children under the school law of the State. i Resident children who are dependent upon the Public School funds for educa tion are received into the School at any time without charge. This school and system offers the best educational advantages attainable in iSJenton. By dividing pmpils of several grades of advancement, among teachers cmplox-ed for each grade, better and more efficient instruction is obtained at less cost than can be had otherwise. Pupils from other districts are invited to enter tiie Sonool at above rates of instruction and they can obtain good board at moderate prices.

On a little bed with a musty smell A man was Ij'iug down. A great big man with a great big snore For he lay on his back, you see And a peaceful look on his" face he wore, For sound asleep was he. In his dreams what marvellous trips ho made, ,T. , , - And Nobody failed, and every one paid, And his orders were good as gold. He smiled and smothered a scornful laughv When his fellow-drummers bio wed; Foi he knew no other had sold the half Of what his order book showed. II? got this letter from home one day: "Dear Sir we've no better term To use in your case than simply to say: Henceforth you are one of the ririu.'1 And a glorious change this made in his life, He now from the road withdrew; . And really soon got to know his wife, His son, and his daughters too. But with a thump bang whang thump baug again, The "boots" had knocked at the door: "It's very near time for the G:10 train," And the "Drummer's Dream" was o'er. PURITY AMONG MEN. Durham Tobacco Plant. The address of Dr. Hume upon the subject of "Personal Purity of Younp- Men." delivered lasr. uppI , c i r t before the convention of the oung Mens' Christian Association, was a most excellent, chaste, forcible nd earnest presentation of this most im portant question. Those who keep their eyes open, those who listen to what is going on, are compelled to notice that impurity is a vast evil now. Young boys at the age of ten, twelve and fifteen years, delight in obscene pictures, obscene jokes, and their imagination is tired and stimula ted by the voluptuousness taught by darning pictures and many society novels. Then when we see the voung men that these boys grow into, do vve not leei that impuntv amor.p- men is a danger, a menace not onU to the church, but to the family, the home society, the government itself ? We beiieve the world is growing better in many ways. We believe the vices of past ages are followed and admired less now than formerly, and just because that is so, jus because there seems to be an upward tendency, just beciuse we believe that thought is becoming christian ized, we believe that extraordinary effort ought now be made to keep pure the youiijj minds that are ju?-t now pining for sustaining food, and young bodies eraving satisfaction. We believe the Y'oung Men's Christ ian Association is the God-appointed agency to keep from wreck the youth of the land. The work of the Associ ation is, as iUr. jfv. . Jamison, Charleston's excellent secretary, sid r 1 -1 1 i- in one oi nis speecnes, largely a work of prevention. It takes young men and boys, just out of college. motheis and sisters, and carries them to its gymnasiums and teaches them healthful exercise and innocent amusement; it carries them to its libraries and gives them pure books, and in its religious meetings it teach es them to love, to reverence, to emulate the ideal man, the Lord Jesus Christ. Puritv among men will be incul cated. will be urged by the Young Men's Christian Association. In f.ict. through its agency and the help of God. the pure will be kept pure. thev" will be trained to avoid the naunts of vice, and Jove what is high, . , , , , . " . pare, noble and good. Ought not every branch of the evangelical church, ought not every mother and 9ister. ought not all pure men, aye, all men, for even the impure some times admire and respect purity, strive to make the Young Men's Christian Association able to protect those around whm it wants to ; throw its influence?

Virginia Rural Messenger. The North Caro'ina Department of Agriculture seems to have got clear ahead of Virginia in the work of disseminating the knowledge of a more advanced system of agriculture among the people. Amoncr other tliinm; jtfn fiiivr T-r!i r.l;ri till encourage and secure the organization of Farmers' Institute Clubs in every county, township and school d strict of the State, to hold a Farmers' Institute annually in every county, and to have one t-xpermental farm in each county, which farm is to be managed by an experienced and successful farmer, and where shall be tested seeds, feitilzers, implements, stock, poultry, the bet modes ol planting and cultivating and every thing else that may be a legitimate object of ex perm en t or inquiry. To test all varieties of seed, aoricultu-al implements and appliances, horses, cattle, sheep, sv?n-f poul ry, and al articles used by fanners, so that the farmers in each county may see and know for themselves what is best, is certainly a most praiseworthy object, and right5 v and economically con ducted, cannot but be instrumental in disseminating a great deal of in formation that farmers cou'd not in any other way so cheaply and rapidh obtdii. it is a p'an tuat makes every farmer in the State a member of an agricultural club, and places him in almost direct conta't. with experi ments that will bring light nnd prac tical information to hisowndior. It secures co operation and unity among the whole body of the farming class, and will, no doubt, in a few years largely increase the income of North Carolina farmeis, for the result will be improved farms and better farming throughout the State. Thus that great and magnificent State is moving on to assured pros perity, and it will not be many years, we predict, before the farmers of North Carolina will take ranir with the most successful in the united States. Whether or not it is the intention of the present Commissioner of Agri culture in Virginia to inaugurate a movement similar to the above we have not heard. Certainly some such step is demanded by the pro rr-ressive spirit ot tne times. w e cannot afford to linger behind our sister States in the onward march to prosperity and material greatness. Our resources are as great as any and our people as enterprising and c ear witted. WV too, should have the experimental iarms in each coun ty, anainemMiiuic, aim uc uuus' Occular demonstration i the best ot ! all teaching in agriculture.
