The plan substituted by the Educational AssQcjatjon is about light., The aid given by the government towards the education of the citizen ought to confined to a great extent to provid ing a fine common school system. Were all our boys and girls furnished a good primary education, the high schools and colleges would be filled to overflowing. We have furnished a large amount of taxes for the use of the general government; and we have aided in the purchase of an ex tensive domain. The proceeds of these public lands have gone into the treasury, and now we are entitled to have some allowance made for pub lic education. And whn such aid is extended, it should be as f$, not as the work of a superior undertaking to control the schools of the differ ent States.

Independent in NEW BERNE, N. Too Much Credit- Too Paying-. jjime Menree Advertiser. I read in your last issue the fol- lowing brief paragraph. "There is more religion in paying one handued cents in the dollar a man owes, including his subscription for a full year in advance to his home paper, than in some of the most . eloquent prayers ever of fered.': This sentiment entitles it to be .re printed and kept ; before the people. Your editorial "Not a Bright Out look," is suggestive of a great deal that might be done, said and written. But to be pointed it must be done and said in a few words. The rem edy is, go to work, work late and early and stop the credit system. Borrowing money on long time to work out of debt will ruin the coun try. If every Jarmer in the country conld get as much money as he wauted on five years time, without any interest whatever, and be com pelled to pay the principal at the ex piration of five years, three-fourths of them would be bankrupt, not worth a cent, not even an old board to cover their heads and bodies from the fall ing rains ami chilling winds. It would create an idleness and extrav agance that is unparalleled, aud these two things, with a few others, have placed, the country in such a condition that it will take many years of well-directed energy and economy, with brains to back it, to redeem it. Credit is too cheap in this country. Stop it except to those who are really entitled to it. Is a man, white or black, whose word for truth, honesty and integrity you cannot rely upon, one that is disinclined to work, and spends a good portion of his time running all over the country attend ing every public gathering without the prospect of being benefitted, hunting, fishing, loitering around do ing nothing, sleeping when he should be at work, pushing his work and business ahead, entitled to credit? Stop the credit system and yon will stop the most of this sort of business. There are many men, white and black, who go to the towns and cities and get hundreds of dollars of credit that are really not entitled to a cent's credit. They have neither brains, energy, or economy, and, least of all, no honor or principal, and don't expect to pay when they get the goods. To cut the subject short, if this country is ever redeemed there will have to be a , .higher, appreciation of moral honesty and obligations, and credit deBied except to those who are enti tled to it. Plow deep and close, late and early, arid lei the whole farming interest be managed with brains and economy. It can't be done by rais ing cotton to the neglect of home supplies. Make the lands of the county rich, have good stock, barns and smokehouses full then the farmer is easy if he don't handle a great deal of money then every oth er class of trade and business will prosper. The cotton business ami the credit system will never bring about an easy and solid state of affairs. Neither will the very common practice of farming in this eonntry ever bring it about, A mind without brains, a hand that is disinclined to take hold of work never invented an engine, a steamship, a telegraph, built a rail road, or took a piece of gullied land and caused it to produce three bales of cotton or one hundred bushels of corn per acre. . Neither will thej ever make this a prosperous country. We have the means within our reach, an4 if we du't use them, as a people, we are to blame. As you stated, many farmers are now witbaut corn, meat, and old scores not paid up. More oats and wheat sowed than usual. There is more disposition to decrease expenses than to increase them. Less cotton, more grain, and a smaller number of plows and labor than there was last year. This I think a very wise move one in the right direction. .L A. H. Jokes UpOWi .Lawyers. From the earliest times the law yeia have "had to take it," as the i c i. j i- i SDark of wit delights to exercise it i l r.i - r....: upon me memoers oi inis pruicsMou. lndeeii, soir.e nf the wittiest sayings against lawyers have been uttered by lawyers themselves, who never like to spoil a good joke even at their own expense. Sometimes two birds have been killed with one stone. It is said that there was once a dispute in the Uni versity of Cambridge, whether doc tors in law or doctors in medicine should take precedence. The chan cellor asked whether the thief or the hangman went first at an execution. On being told that the thief usually took the lead, "Well, then," said the chancellor, "let the lawyers have precidence. and the medical doctors be next in rank' Here is a poetical shot at both pro fessions: The doior lives by sporting with our lives And by our follies fed, the lawyer thrives. Some people cannot understand how two lawyers who contend so fu riously agaiust each other in court should be friends. The following is levelled at the heads of those who feign hostility in the way of bus iness: Two lawyer, when a knotty case was o'er, -hook hands, and were as frood friends as before. "Zounds!'' cries Ihe losing client, "how camf yon To be such friends who were such foes just now -Thou fooir one answers; "lawyers, though keen, Like shears, ne'er eut themselves, bur whafs between ' There is too much truth for a mere jest in some of the piteous accounts of anxious clients, whose purses grew all ihings. 0., APRIL 6, 1882. nernter uaiiv. wniie tneir lawvers were making interminable delays and arguments. I remember seeing a picture long ago, illustrative of the uselessness of going to law. where plaintiff and defandent were franti cally pulling at We horns and tail of a cow, aud the lawyer, seated on a stool, was comfortably milking the cause of the dispute ! Listen to this poor fellow: My cause concerns nor battery nor treason; I sne my neighbor for this only reason, That late three sheep of mine to ponnd he drove, This is the point the court would have prove: Concerning Magna Charta you run on, And all the perjuries of Old King John; Then of the Edwards and Black Prince you yon rant. And talk of John o'Stiles ond John o'Gaunt; With voice and hand a mighty pother keep; Now pray, dear sir, one word about the sheep! And the next epigram has not a cheerful moral for those who are hav ing their wrongs made right by law. It is called "The Fatal Victory". UnhRppy Chromes, neighbor to a peer. Kept half hi sheep and fatted half his deer; Each day his gates thrown down, his fences broke. And injured still the more, the more lie spoke; At length resolved his potent foe to awe. And guard his right by statute and by law, A Biiit in chancery the wretch begun; Nine happy terms through bill and answer run, Obtained his cause had costs, and was undone. Here is a very ancient one which seems to come in quite appropriately. It was written by Petronius Arbiter, who was a favorite of Nero's until ac cused by a rival of conspiracy, when he was put to death. It is on par tial judges: Law bears the name, but money has the lK)wr; j The cause is bad whene'er the clients uoor: Those strict-lived men that seem above our world, Arn oft too modest to resist onr gold. tSo justice, like all other wares, is gold. And the grave judge that nods upon the laws, Waked by a bribe, smiles and approves the canse. . Here is an epigram that was writ ten on a colored man who had been freed from slavery both in his native country and that to which he fled for refuge, and who afterwards fell into the clutches of the law: In vain poor sable son of wo, Thou seek'st the tender teal" From thee, in vain, wih pangs they flow. For mercy dweUs not here. From cannibals thon fledst in vain; . - Lawyers less quaster give; The first wont eat yon till yon die, The last will do't alive, , . v The last is to be an epigram, which is also an epitaph," evidently . the work of a client who had suffered by the conduct of the lawyer who is thus disposed of: Here lies John Shaw Attorney-at-law; And when he died The devil cried, "Give ns your paw, John Shaw, Attorney-ai-law !" Taxes. The government raises $400,000,000 annually. There are 10,000,000 fami lies, mostly laborers. The taxes ars paid by the people, and so each family on an average pays 040 tax to the United States. But as the tariff ope rates to raise the price of goods bought here at home, the people pay much more than this $400,000,000 because of the tariff tax. It is estimated that they pay $1,500,000,000 to our home manufacturers, which is $150 to each family an average of $190 per annum. We do not feel it, we do not know it. But suppose the cost of every manu factured article we bought was re duced one-half, would we not feel the difference V Suppose the cost of your sugar, tobacco, coffee, shoes, clothing, etc., etc., was reduced ju;t one-half, so that we could live on just one-half of what we do now, would we not at the end of the year appreciate the difference? That is the way they do in England. Would you not like to try it a little while. The Radicals in Congress say you shall not. Our Democratic leaders favor making the trial and seeing Row it works.

"Robert!" He held out his bands appealingly. "I am your; brother Douglas!" ' T' I made no answer. - - ll: 1 glanced around in deadly terror lest some one should hear him. Thej naa all heard. ' Then I looked him full in the eyes. "This man is mad 1" I said delib erately. "You are nothing to m nothing! I can own no relationship with such as you! He staggered back as if he had been shot. "Great God!" he did not expect this ! muttered. ' But I have deserved it!" 1 here was a sudden rush, and a sobbing cry, aud Jenny had both her arms around his neck. "Douglas! Brother Douglas! she cried. ' "I have you at last!',' she cried. "I have you at last !" ' Then she drew back, with one arm about him, and turning r,o a party of her friends who stood near, said, with a calm dig' nity, "This is my brother Douglas. 1 owe everything I am and have ia the won i to ti i m. And l have never seen him before. You will excuse me if I go with him now." bhe clun to his arm and led bim away "Ivet me go!" he said, struggling to withdraw lroni her. "Let me gr back and die in the gutter. It's the only place for me!" "I will never let you co !" cried Jenny, passionately. "Look at these people, how they stare at you, walking with the drunk- en oeggar : "These people," said Jenny, steadi ly, keeping her hold of him, "know but your one fault. 1 know you for the noble, generous, brave man yon arc, brother. Let us go away from hero. 1 love you. We will make a home for each other." She led him weak as a child, to his hotel. And in spite of all my remon strances, she left town with him next day. I could not overcome the feeling of disappointment and ot outraged pride. It was worse than foolish, it was wicked. Nevertheless, I left them, secured a position as clerk, and worked my own way. I acted, in short, likean ungrateful coward. When I found Jenny persisted in remaining with him, I ceased even to write t her. The woik she began Hint day. she never gave up. She did make a home fur inni; made it cheerful ami happy. She dealt with bin failing as a dis ease; watched over bim night and day; prayed for him, clung to him, nev er lost patience nor hope. My motive in telling thin story is to show that the drunkard may some times be cured by unfailing love and practical common sense. She did cure him.
