Would it not be economy to change our mode of civil pro cedure so as to dispense with the "appearance term"? At every term of court there are several parties present with witnesses and a "feed" lawyer expecting trial according to summons. Rut find that they are present to file an answer to the apeciflcations of the plaintiffs and that the case will probably be tried next term. Would it not be better to have the spec! ficatious to accompany the sum mons and let the defendant file his answer before court and then let the case be tried at once. This would greatly re duce the cost of a suit, and bet ter enable the poor to secure justice. PLAN TO (JIVE THE CHILD START -THE GREAT "PRO VINCE OF THE MOTHER. On Sunday, the 29 th nit, Dr. Crowell, President of Trinity College, delivered a strong lee ture at Keener's Chapel, in this county, for the education of our boys and girls. No thinking parent present could fail to be deeply impressed and put to thinking as regards his duties course of study, as it has done ? to his children who are growing up to bo Ignorant and useless or and enforce the use of books prescribed? These questions, I will leave for others to decide, with the exception of one rem edy, which I will propose, and that is to secure tb3 services of permanent teachers in all the schools, or in as many as possi ble. Let there te a prescribed course of study, then let the teacher or board of education select a series of books to be used to the exclusion of all oth ers, and require every pupil in school to procure these books, or let a supply be bought for the use of the school, and lent to those who cannot or will not buy, with the urderslandiug that they are to be returned, at the close of the term. The discipline of the school should be left entirely with the teacher. He must tach and manage by his plan, the product of his own brain. With any other plan he will make a fail ure. If the teacher is not able to get up a plan of government, a system of recitations, and a proper arrangement of studies, without the constant direction of some member of the school committee, and following the advice of Mr. A or Mr. 13, he is a failure and he has no business i . . 1 T 1 .1 in tne scnooi-room. x wuuw educated and useful according to their training. He said : Food, raiment and shelter are all the things that the body of a human being needs. But the soul has a very different set of needs of its own. The needs of the body are material; those of the soul are spiritual. The ma terial waats are supplied out of the eaith, the soa and the sky, that is, out of the world of na ture around, above and under us. The spiritual wants are suppli ed out of the spiritual world within us. As we dig into the earth, search in the sea or seek the free breath of heaven to keep the body alive; so we have to search in the sjuI to develop its rich treasures of affection, its traths of thought aud its strength of will to supply the soul with what will not only keep it alive, but cause it to grow into the full stature oi spiritual man hood and womanhood. Just as by commerce also the different parts of the world supply each other with what the body needs, so by the intercourse of mind with mind does the soul get what it needs.

Why should the honest man be made to pay the debts of the dis honest? Yet he does. Every man in business calculates on so much loss on account of bad debts and the wares that the honest poor man buys are marked up to a figure that will cover that loan. Is it right? Is it just. - The credit system is bad in many ways. It encourages improvidence and extravagance on the one hand, extortion and usury on the other. It makes theft respectable, wrecks friendships and ruins homes. It should be abolished. If every man in business got his dues 1Y0M4 those who were able to pay, he could afford to give to those who were not and still realize handsome profit. The majority of our large financial failures and the periodical stagnations in trade and enterprise are due alone to this des tructive system. If a man is afflict ed, in need or distress, relieve his necessities and put him in a' way to earn an, honest livelihood. Never allow him to open an account, never allow him to anticipate the fruits or enjoy the procieds' of unperformed labor. '.'Sufficient for the day is the evil thereof."

The teacher should be prompt and punctual in attendance, and require the same from all the pupils. There should De no yielding on the part of the eacher, but he muof stand nrm in the beginning, and require a prompt compliance with all his regulations, but not in a tyranni cal manner, and when his school is properly organized thee will not be much trouble either in teaching or governing. How to secure a regular at tendance is one of the most perplexing questionswith which God. out to take its place in the great world of citizenship in which are to be found the fields for the aspirations which the home has guarded and the school quicKen ed into life but which neither can satisfy. If man were only he would find" con ii having the mere wants of the body satisfied, like the ox in the pasture. But he has a spirit, in that he is en dorsed with the attributes of a God. The aspiration-: a soul hav ing its destiny in its own hands, will lead it in one or two di rections, lead it higher to ba come like God or lower to be come live a devil. No other routes are open, no other possi bilities exist lor a human na ture; no other inevitable desti-r nies await it : "Godliness with contentment is great . gain," is Paul's theory of life. To him it was sufficient for the body to have food and raiment. All that man r.oul( gain over and above that was to be devoted to Godliness, which means God like-nsss, to the service of the spirit iu making it more like a teacher has to contend, and without a regular attendance, it is almost impossible to retain a regular organization and a per fect classification. Many pa- Theie are two other theories of life : one is to gain the whole world for the body and lose the soul. The other is to gain just as much of the world for the rents entertain strange notions body as is possible without lo with reference to sending child ren to school. They think that they can place them In school, the second or third week, after the school has been regu larly organized, and then keep them at home, one or two days in the week, and that they will learn just as much as those who attend all the time, and thus they save money. This is mis taken economy. Sometimes we find In our public schools 50 or 60 pupils one week, and the next week only 10 or 12. We often find for the whole term an average attendance of fifty per cent or less. How aro the difficulties to be remedied? They are very dis couraging to the teacher, and he is often blamed for the ignor ance of children, when it should be charged to other causes, the only remedy that I can suggest - - j ing the soul; o.- to do the very least that is thought necessary to save the soul and devote all the larger balance of the energy we have to gain as much of the world as possible. Paul's theory is the only right one enough of the material to satisfy the needs of the body and the balance to be devoted to the development of the spirit to a higher and nobler life. Ma terial comfort may be increased but it must be only so far as it will contribute, directly to help man to live in the spirit Man was not made only to toil; he must think: that is bis divine prerogative, his imperishable right. The man that never as serts this right by exercising it is doomed to sink toward theleve of the ox and the ass, to com rjete with mere brute force or be a mere machine. The boy of to day, who neg lects his education, goenf ut into the woild to compete with other boys who are educated. The two have an uneven start and the educated boy is the man who takes tho lead. This is so in farming as well as in the laudt in the ministry, or in tfhy other profession or occupation. An education which trains the mind to think and the whole man to act better aud nobler is the only education there Is. That is what your boy wants; that i3 what he gets. Your boy has more need of an education than you had when you were as old as he. The world into which he must go is a tie iv world, very different from tho world through wlichyou hav1 come. He needs other teachers than yourself. He needs the guidance and training of those who have grown up just ahead of him.. He will get it in th 9 schools. But you say you are too poor to educate your children. Give them a start with some inspiring teacher and they will educate themselves with the little help you can give them and the power and deter mination they shall have to keep themselves. But you say that there is a mortgage on the farm and you cannot spare your boys now from working with you. Then call them to you arid tell them your financial condition, and promise them that you will try to givo each of them an education if they will join with you to work off the debt. Give them to un derstand that after paying off the interest and part of the debt each year the balance of the in come of the farm shall go to giving them an education, onow them that in. this age they need an education if they would d well in lite. I can assure you i f you have treated your boys right they will respond bravely to help you and each other to an education Its better to help your sons to an education than to try to leave farms to them. Farms may lose their value but an education will increase in value every day of their life. Bad crops may in volve their farms in debt and the sheriff may take the land? you left thorn. But not so of an education. With an education they can look the world over and see what is best for lb em to do; with only a farm they are doomed to stick to that and may fail iu everything else. It costs about as much to keep i i . -t j your sons at nome as n, uoes iu send them to college. For $150 to 200 a year you can send them to the best colleges in tho State. At home they will want horse and carriage; at college they will not. You have to board them, lodge them, clothe them wherever they are at college or at home. You should seud your boys to college to associate with and un derstand how to get along with other young men. At home they have their own way to a consid erate exieut But in the outside world into which they must soon go they will find that it is very different. There is no better preparation for. life than the associations and the rivalries of college life, here each young man learns to adapt himself to others to struggle hard to vie with competitors in the race and fn win victories in tiie face of suDerior strength and advantage And as for the. gins, tney too must be educated, hot the lg norant girl will never be marri ed to the educated ooy unless th?t boy is fool enough to mar ry and raise a family oi dunces As the mother is so is the home. She makes it the heaven of earth filled with the sweetness and ight of her educated heart and head or she may make it a mere resting place aud feeding place or those whom God ives her to train ionuuuuruu me. axauy a noble mother lu our country homes has educated herself when there were no schools for her to go to in her younger davs, but in this day of schools there is no excuse for leaving a single THE VETERAHS I The following is & list of the veterans, by companies, who at tended the re union at this place on the 26th of September, 1889 : Company I, 46th N.
