If the principal of the Concord Ltigh Sob ol aimed at ftasting tbe cit'z us of Concord to a royal intel lectual baiq iet, he displayed much good judgement in the selection of an annual speaker. Dr. Wi!stn combines pleasacmeea of manner with enthusiasm for the theme of his choice, forci fulness in tbe pros sentatious of bis ideas, sublimity in tbe realms of conception, fervency io bis allusions to the Divine and aiitbetio grandeur in adop'iog the Qoest rhythmic selections from the great autbois. It were vain in us to attempt a n production of tbe splendid ad dress. We can only give the frame on which be put tbe literary art work that made his addnsi one of rare beauty and solid merit. He expressed much delight with Concord and took much interest in her schools, especially the High School, tf which he formed a favor able impression from the performers that preceded him. He viewed with much satisfaction the waning friction in the educas i mal work throughout the land and paw an era in whiob higher educa tion for all professions and per suasions is being intrusted to u Di vers ty work. Education is higher than the forces by which it is at tained. In the process of m. king men and women education should be real, language exact, Erglieh should be pure. The speaker gave iusUncee of the appl cation cf good English words so awkwardly combined as to be ridiculous in meaning. He urged the adoption of good expression in proper word with a cultivated tone if kindness and harmony, producing pleasure in those around us. Elucation should be a part of tbe child. Uis actions should proceed from bis education. De should do veil b cause he knows well and the tducition gained in the school loem ebould be the vtry basis of uutit rml perpetuity and national greatness. The breith of the snhool room is the hope of the oountry." Talk cf Spain aa an enemy, of German dislike and of continental European j -alousY, or even of per sonal alienation but nothing is so great an memy to ary of ns as our guorance and want of integrity. The child should be taught that when it commits a crime it is to itself that it has done the very great wrong, Lowever much or little tbe vil to another. Error must be com pensated for within the boiom of him wbo commits it. Our schools are lo make free men and women. F'tetdotn does tot cousist in being slaves to ourselves. We are today well nigh drunk vith phonal liberty. We claim so many rights for ourselves that we btc me regardless of the rights of oihers and b come even cruel to our fe've". Elucation shoulu fit us lor t dtiui. li what you have knowledge to be. I'd be men and women is to reiio !;z- nian bood and womanhood. The making of men aud women is be c mbination of furoes by tbe teacher, We want the education that puri fies. We want the educa'ion that cau be silent when it is ignorance to speak. Tbe speaker struck some telling blows when be deprecated the habit of charging men with being bought that is with unfaithfulness. He would not trust the man in anything who belie vea that eyery man can be bought, Manhood and womanhood is vet not rare. The speaker characterized tbe im- priBsion in the young that life is a drudge as the most dangerous and lifd destroying a be'em . L fe is not drudge but a grind opportunity. We should live for what we can be io o hers, P.rish tbe right of mine, raid the speaker, when that right must trample oo my fellow man'd We should master ourselves to give self to our tellow man. Thongh thn address was less ttan an h ur in duration the speaker in his racy and engaging style seemed o cover the whole ground of ideal education and ideal life. About Mir Boyf.

It seems that once upon a time when her father, John Alex ander made a visit home from the colonial army a group of lories tieaded by one ''Powell" went to the home of the Alexanders to assassi nate him. Tbe door was barred and the heroic Jean, then in bloom ing womanhood all allow with patriotic zoal eeizjd a two pronged pitch fork and through tbe un checked log wall stove its wrought steel prongs deep into tho vitals of stately Powell. The work was done ind the tory died before his com panions got him home. She vas a very Jeal for that Sisera.
