Well, there are so re any words hat well iu formed people, even ciieo gradur.fes, misuse, it would ra a hopeless job to persuade them 'after. We know several well inform ed ladies v. bo invariably use the word sit'' f.T "sat." They use it as if there -.ere no past tense to the verb at all. For instance, one speaking of another idy said, "I know she was at church ast Sunday, for she sit right by me." It is gratifying to observe from the .v.vsn:per reports that the schools and !ktres that have thus far opened have -n rolled more than the visual number students. There seems to be a grow-i-ig interest in education throughout t'la Stute. This is as it should be ; but ios the yoanj men and youn women vI;o a-e thus showing themselves anx ious to become educated remember that th 3 true idea of education is not that they may be prepared to make an easy living. As we have otten written, this is the lov.est idea Gf an education. We u?ed to be educated that we may be prepared for belter citizenship and for doing more in the world ana giving better service to our day and genera tion. President Winston has set a pace at the Agricultural and Mechanical col lege at Raleigh which ought to be fol lowed by all high grade colleges in the State. It has been stated that twenty five students who made application for entrance were refused because they could not stand the examination. Pres ident Winston proposes to have no pre paratory department at that institution, a:.1 in this The Commonwealth thinks him wise. Indeed we haye long be iieved, that preparatory departments oi;ght to be abolished at all our colleges. There are many argu ments in favor of this position. To al ! v preparatory departments in colleges brings these institutions in direct com petition with the teachers whom such :m.jtitntion8 send out to prepare young wen for college work. Then the very fact that a college maintains a prepara tory department sets it down aa no very high grade institution, but as a bidder for any and a!i who will come. But one of the strongest reasons for abandoning such preparatory depart ments is, that the youug men who go out to teach may have a chance at the patronage for traning the young men and boys who have heretofore been ta ken into preparatory classes at the o; leges. President Winston's action in aban- rtoninsr the t.-repartorv department will command the plaudits of those who hav the true idea of academy, high school and college work. BAD LOOD CURE FREE !

Written For The Commonwealth. A glance over South America : It is safe to predict that, though there is an uninterrupted stretch of land from Artie to Antartic in the American continent, there will never be a strong fiense of unity between the two halves of the continent. As time goes on and as wars of conquest as well as wars of commerce, &tow into more disfavor with the human family, there will un doubtedly be many attempts, like that of Biaine's reciprocity treaty, to bring to pass a vital union between North and South America. It will be found too that the approaches in relation to such treaties of the future will nearly all take their origin in a candid expression of biotherly leeliug on the part oi North Americans. As an exaranle,' look for a moment at the generous, almost Quixotic, way in which the United Mates took up the Venezuelan dispute, and with how little regard or gratitude her nob'e sslf-forgetfulness ia viewed hy the Little Venice of South America. This is typical of what will always be our experience in dealing with the countries on the mainland, south of the Tropic of Cancer. Distrust of the people of their own country and of the greatest republic on the American continent is the key note of th9 policy of the republics of South America. Viewed from our more enlightened standpoint, these fiery and disputatious neighbors of ours do not understand what human liberty means and their republics are tyrannies, in many cases, tempered by assassination and revolution. They regard their own people with suspicion, then they entertain the same feeling for each other and are constantly bickering among themselves oyer arbi trary boundary-lines that might well be swept away in one vast South American federation. The unreason ableness of their enmities is seen inthe fact that practically all of the South American republics belong to what are called the Latin races, and hence have in large measures a common history, a common literature, and a racial tie. Yet their common origin is the very thing that explains their internal rest lessness, their continental disputes, and their attitude toward ourselves. The Latin races as we now know them. and even as Ihey were in the days when Venice was in its glory, cannot understand what it means to give free dom of political choice, uid freedom of religious view to the least as well as to the greatest of their members. Even so advanced, so artistic, and so power ful a nation as France, may be used as the strongest possible illustration of what a Republic is under Latin man agement. The common people are re garded by the rulers as mere children who need watching and whose most simple acts are constantly under the eye of the government, by means ol the spy system. What is bred in the bone will come out in the life, and though South America has entirely treed itself from Spanish and Portu gese dominion, the setting up of gov ernments some of them closely mod elled upon that of the United States has neither made lor quietude among themselves nor for progress that at all keeps pace with the rest of the world. This amount ot justice, however, must be done to the rulers of all Latin re publicsthey know the characteristics of their people for plotting and unrest, and undoubtedly have to watch them closely in order to produce anything of a permanent character in the way of government. See how the dregs of humanity asserted themselves in the Reign of Reason and the Commune in France. These two occurrences illus trate the very dangers that are always possible in a Latin republic, and hence explain why it satisfies a Latin Repub lic to give freedom to the people in word only. Hr It may seem daring to prophesy so far ahead, and yet one is almost tempt ed to say that, though "JN'ever is a lone day," there neyer will be a friendship of a vital character between ourselves and our southern neighbors. Mastiffs and foxes do not run together. Our ideals are so different and our leading men so keenly in touch with all classes VHv 25,000 BOTTLES OF ROB OTS' TASTELESS 25c.

Whitehead & Co., urnggisw. ommonw; "EXCELSIOR" IS OUR MOTTO. of society, that we cannot understand and sympathize with the swaddling clothes that bind and confine the yot ing unit in a South American Repub lic. Our constant struggle, expressed in the reform movements of all grades, is to secure for the humblest voter a voice equal in influence to that of eve ry other voter, no matter how superior in wealth, or education, or opportuni ty. And furthermore the whole peo ple accepts without any violence, elec tion after election, the verdict of the majority. In the southern republics, almost without exception and partic ularly in the Central American Repub lics, the voting machinery is so thor oughly in the hands of the reigning government and the army, that revolu tion becomes almost the only way of voicing dissatisfaction. Destiny would seem to indicate that the future cf South America will scarcely be influenced by ideals other than those now there. And therefore, one can scarcely look upon it as likely to experience a broad and rapid devel opment. Brazil, the greatest and the latest oi southern republics, is practi cally closed to American and British -enterprise by reason of restrictions on machinery and what-not. It3 vast commercial possibilities will wait long before the non-inventive and some what lazy Latins come abreast of them. So also of much else ot the southern territory. Its uncertainties render it a doubtful field for investment ; as the frightful failure of the Earing Bros, a few years ago will testify. What it is gaining in the way of trade comes from the daring of foreigners, and yet the sentiment pi tho country is so evident ly hostile to foreigners that there ia no intention on the part of many of them to throw in their lives and their ener gies as citizens, but to simply get all they can out of the prolific opportuni ties of the country and then leave. DRILL THE TONGUE DAILY. "Upon all those who are ambitious to make the world happier and better rests the obligation of drilling the ton gue into lustrous kindness, purity and refinement," writes Rev. Newell Dwigbt Hillis, D. D., of "The Diffusion of Hap piness Through Conversation," in the August Ladies' PLome Journal. "Not by spasmodic efforts, not with occasion al hints and words ot good cheer, are men to use the tongue In the interests of happiness. The daily drill of the tongue as an instrument of happiness and influence is to enter into the fund amental conception of li ving. Nor is law binding only upon those happy persons who are said to be good enter tainers. Some there are who are so fortunately organized that they exhale benefactions upon any company into which they enter. Unconsciously, and without any set purpose, they oil the bearings of life, lessen friction, provoke laughter and good cheer, as naturally as flowers that do not struggle to throw off sweetness, as the cedar wood that without thinking gives off lragrance. But the law of happinees-makingis not confined to the few gifted individuals. It is binding upon all of every rank, station and temperament. "On high lestal days in Athens, when processions formed at stated intervals, in the processions marched men with instruments of music, and also incense bearers. When one group of musicians had marched by and the sound of music was dying out of the air, another group took up the sweet strain. When dis tance had removed far the incense-bear ers, another group came on to fill the air with clouds of smoke from the sweet aromatic shrubs. Too oft our world marches forward to the sound of sad notes and requiems. Happy are those whose sweet and gentle speech fills the common life with sweetness and light as did the ancient ministers of joy and music. For their whole some tongues are indeed 'trees of lile' and their words 'like apples of gold in pictures of silver.'

Deacon Lee, who was a kindly, silent, faithful, gracious man, was one day waited upon by a restless, ambitious, worldly church member who was labor ing to create uneasiness in the church, and especially to drive away the preach er. The deacon came in to meet the visitor, who, after the usual greetings, began to lament the low state of religion and to inquire as to the reason why there had been no reyival for two or three years past. "Now what is the cause of things be ing dull here? Do you Know?" he per sisted in asking. The deacon was not ready to give his opinion, and after a little thought frankly answered : "No, I don't." "Do you think the church is alive to the work before it?" "No, I don't." "Do you think the minister fully realizes the solemnity of his work?" "No, I don't." A twinkle was seen in the eye of this troubler in Zion, and taking courage he asked : "Do you think his sermon on 'their eyes were holden' anything wonder fully great?" "No, I don't." Making bold after' this encourage ment in monosyllables, he asked : "Then don't you think we had bet ter dismiss this man and hire an other?" The old deacon started as if shot with an arrow and in a louder tone than his wont, shouted : "No, I don't." "Why," cried the amazed visitor, "you agree with me in all I have said, don't you?" "No, I don't." "You talk so little, sir," replied the guest not a little abashed, "that no one can find out what you mean." "I talked enough once," replied the old man rising to his feet, "for six pray ing christians. Thirty-six years ago I got my heart humbled and my tongue bridled, and ever since that I have walked sottly before God. I then made yows solemn as eternity ; and don't you tempt me to break them." The troubler was startled at the earn estness of the man hitherto silent, im movable man, and asked : "What happened to you thirty years ago?" "Well, sir, I'll tell you. I was drawn into a scheme just like this ot spurs, to uproot one of God's servants from the field in which He had planted him. In my blindness I fancied it a little thing to remove one of the 'stars' which Je sus holds in his right hand, if thereby my ears could be tickled with more flowery words and the pews filled with those turned away from the simplicity of the Gospel. I and the men that led me lor I admit I was a dupe and a fool flattered ourselves that we were conscientious. We thought we were doing God's service when we drove that holy man from his pulpit and his work, and said we considered his work ended in B. , where I then liyed. We groaned because there was no reyival, while we were gossiping about and crit icising and crushing instead of uphold ing by our efforts and our prayers, the instrument at whose hands we harshly demanded the blessings." Well, sir, he could not drag on the chariot of salva tion with half a dozen taunting him for his weakness, while we hung as dead weights to the wheel ; he had not the power or the spirit and could not con vert men, so we hunted him like a deer till worn and bleeding he fled to a covert to die. Scarcely had he gone when God cams among us by His Spirit to show us that he had blessed the labors of His dear rejected ser vant. "Our own hearts were broken and our wayward children converted and I re solved at a convenient season to visit my former pastor and confess my sin, and thank him for his faithfulness to my wayward sons, which, like long buried seed had now sprung up. But God denied me that relief, that He might teach me a lesson every child of His ought to learn, that he who touch eth one of His servants, touches the ap ple of His eye. I heard my pastor was ill, and taking my eldest son with me, set out on a twenty-five mile ride to see him. It was evening when I ar rived, and his wife, with the spirit which A- FRIGATFUL BLUNDER Will often cause a horrible Burn, Scald, Cut or Bruise.

NO. 37 any woman ought to exhibit toward one who had wronged her husband, de nied me admittance to his chamber. She said, and the words were arrows to my soul, 'He may be dying, and the sight of your face might add to his an guish.' 'Had it come to this,' I said to myself, 'that the man whose labors had, through Christ, brought me into His fold, who bad consoled my spirit in a terrible bereavement, and who had, till designing men alienated us, been to me as a brother that man could not die in peace with my face be fore him? God pity me,' I cried 'what have I done?' I confessed my sin to that weak woman and I implor ed her for Christ's sake, to let me kneel before His dying servant and receive his forgiveness. What did I care then whether the pews by the door were rented or not? I would gladly have taken his whole family to my home forever a3 my own flesh and blood, but no such happiness was in store lor me. "As I entered the room of the blessed warrior whose armor was falling from his limbs, he opened his languid eyes and said, 'Brother Lee, Brother Lee !" I bent over him and sobbed out my story. Then raising hia white hand he he said in a deep impressive voice, 'Tone!) not mine anointed, and do my pr jphei3 no harm !' I spoke tenderly to him, calling my son to tell how he had found Christ. But he was uncon scious of all around ; the sight of my face had brought the last pang of earth to his troubled spirit. "I kissed his brow and told him how dear he had been to me. I craved his pardon for my unfaithfulness, and prom ised to care for his widow and fatherless little ones, but hia only reply, murmur ed as if in a troubled dream, 'Touch not mice anointed, and do my prophets no harm.' "I stayed by him all night and at day-break closedliiseyes. I offered the widow a house to remain in the remain der of her days, but like a heroine she said, I f reefy forgive you. But my children, who entered deeply into their father's anguish, shall never see me so regardless of his memory as to take any thing from those who caused it. He has left us with his covenant God, and He will take care of us.' "Well, sir, those dying words sounded in my ears from that coffin and that grave. "When I slept Christ stood before my dream saying, 'Touch not mine an ointed, and do my prophets no harm.' These words followed me till I fully realized the esteem in which Christ holds those who have given up all lor His sake, even if they are not per fect. "And since that day, sir, I have talked less than before, and have supported my pastor even it he is not 'a very ex traordinary man.' My tongue shall cleave to the roof of my mouth and my right hand forget her cunning, before I dare put usunder what God has join ed together. When a minister's work is done in a place, I believe that God will show it to him. I will not join you, sir, in the scheme that brought you here and, moreover, il I hear another word of this from your lips, I shall ask my brethren to deal with you as with those who cause divisions. I would give all I cwn to recall what I did thirty years ago. Stop where you are, and pray God, if perchance the thought of your heart may no forgiven you." This decided reply put an end to the newcomer's efforts to get a minister who could make more stir, and left him free to lay out roads and build hotels. There is often great power in the lit tle word "Ne," but sometimes it re quires n ct a little courage to speak it so resolutely as did the silent deacon. Selected. ROBBED THE GRAVE. A startling incident, of which Mr. John Oliyer of Philadelphia, was sub ject, is narrated by him as follows : "I was in a most dreadful condition. My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunken, tongue coated, pain continually in back' and sides, no appetite gradually growing weaker day by day. Three physicians had given me up. Fortu nately, a friend advised trying Elec tric Bitters ; and to my great joy and surprise, the first bottle made a decid ed improvement. I continued their use for three weeks, and am now a well man. I know they saved my life, and robbed the grave of another victim." No one should fail to try them. Only 50 cts., guaranteed, at E. T. Whitehead & Co's Drug Store.
