That letter has provoked a most intelligent comment from a Western school teacher who has been teaching boys lor twen ty years. He says that his so called bad boys almost Invari ably turned out to be his best men, and he never punished one with the rod. His illustrations are apt, entertaining and instructive for he is no ordinary teacher, but is a highly cultured gentle it to and writes a beautiful let ter. His letter contained several pages and was eagerly perused. He says I am a believer in the rod, but it has-been my lot to use it mostly, but lightly, on mam all pets, the good dovs who never did anything wrong. He does not believe in moral turpi tude or total depravity, but that all natural Instincts are good, and that evil is only an abuse or misuse of the good, and be has never seen a human being who would not at times perform some kind office for another, neverex peering a reward. Once upon a time, the story goes, s little girl was watching a sculptor as be was putting the finishing touches upon an angel that benad chisled from a block of marble, and she exclaimed: "Oh, what a beautiful angel you have made!" "No,” said the sculptor, "the angel was already in the marble. I have only chipped away the rough stone that hid it.*" So it is with every man—there is sn angel there, though too often hidden by the stony cover ing. The skillful sculptor could find it. This reminds me of an inci dent thatthappened^niany years ago in Rome while I Uvea there. It was on Snndiy while a great freshet was inundating a portion of the town. A poor boy, the son of a widow, had rowed his little boat oat in an eddy to catch some wood that was Boat ing down. By some mischance his boat was caught by the cur rent and he was carried rapidly down the stream. His mother had seen it all and ran down the bank screaming for help. Many people mu wiiu nci uui could do nothing. It was oear a quarter of a mile to the junc tion where scores of men apd boys Were watching the surging waters. As the littleboat neared the bridge pillar it capsifced and the boy disappeared with the boat. In an instant it came to the surface again and the boy was seen clinging to the chain at its end. "Save that boy, somebody 1" Said one, "I’ll give $5 to save that.boy." Said an other, "I’ll give $10.” "I’ll give $20,” said another, but nobody •dared to venture. The mother cried in agony, "Won’t some body save my boy?” Just then a young man was seen rushing wildly doWn, throwing off hia coat and shoes as be came, and passing the crowd be ran down into the water and struck out boldly for the boy. He got him and clasping one arm around bis waist swam with the other and laid him at bis mother’s feet. He was limp and speechless, but alive. Putting on Us shoes and cogt the young man walked quickly away. But be was knowii to moat of thoae present. Ha arts a barkeeper and tils mor al standing was not good, for be was profane in speech and his associates were the sports and drinkingmenofthetown. Hewas under toe ban, bnt there Was an angel in him somewhere. He knew the poor widow and he knew the boy—end he scorned to accept any reward. I have often ruminated over that heroic deed and wondered. My School teacher friend aaya the difference between a bad boy and a good one is tfast the stone is herder to chip from the former bnt gives a finer and mote dur able polish .when the rough out side is chiseled away, hut the «pod boy’s angel is found ini chalk and soon crumbles or de cays. He tells of Bob, the worst boy ever tangbt. It was far out in western Texes, and when the school wes made up it was predicted that Bob and the teechar would have a fight in leas than a week. He was fully apprised that Bob was wicked and coned Hke a sailor and would fight at the drop of a hat sad drop It himself. Bob’s fatfca was dead and hia mother an invalid and very poor, but Bob loved her end wu very kind and good to her and cooked the breakfast before he went to school, which was two miles •way. He always harried home alter school to chop the wood and bring water and help her with the supper. The teacher's invent of his pupils, when to be given, was keeping them after school and requiring them to get their lessons. Bob very respectfully asked to be allowed to go home to wait upon bis mother. He behaved very well for a week, but his bad day came and he did not study at all. He seemed to be ready for a row. The teacher told him mildly but firmly that he must stay in until he got his lesson. He gave a look ol defiance and shut up his Wook. My friend says: "It wsa one of the trials of my life. I pretended to he reading a book, but I was only thinking. In half an hour Bod opened bis book, but I saw tears in his eyes. After a while he _f J tv_I. J_ VM a wau • avuu; uuw. riCUC air, let me go home. It's getting dark and mother will be iem£ She’s all alone and aick. Please, sir, I. will get this lesson to* morrow, and I won’t be (bad any more.’ Well, I was lust over come, and I took him in my arms and we wept together. Never did Bob give me any more tronble and all the neighbors wondered. I verily believe that if I had whipped him he would have been mined by it. After his mother's death be enlisted in the army and won his straps, and he writes me occasionally, and always thanks me for the kindness I showed him at school.” 1 believe that tbc use of the rod in our public schools has been generally abandoned. The pnniihiqent of refraetory pupils is now just what it is in our col lege s—expulsion, suspension, monthly reports of conduct ana progress. Pupils teem satisfied with this snd the general verdfct is that Solomon was joking. My friend Fort was as hostile to whipping children as Is Dr. Hoi derby, of Atlanta, aqd when I quoted Solomon, who said, "He that spareth the rod hstetL bis son," he said: "Well, Solomon was mad when be wrote that. With all of those udves be must have had three or four hundred children, and the little rascals were always tagging after him and begging for candy, or a knife or a doll or something, and they climbed up bis legs snd felt in his pockets snd palled bis hair, and it was pappy this and daddy that, until he got desperate and wrote that verse. I don’t take everything for granted that Solomon aays, no how. A man who was as big a fool about women as he was needn’t tell me about whipping children. He didn’t know how to raise Rehoboam, wbo suc ceeded him, for he said to the children of Israel, *My father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.’ That’s the kind of a boy be raised with his rod." du i uter ui ana be lore all tt is the home influence that moulds the child, lor that is constant and enduring. The aagcl that waa within Bob was uncovered by his mother's love. Some mothers send their little children to school a# to a nur serv to get them out of the way or because they cannot manage them at home, while others put up for them a nice lnnch and kiss them a sweet goodbye and fondly watch for their return. Our children had to go more than a mile to school when we lived on the form. They had to cross the creek on akmt log and then through a field up a long hill and then down the hill until out of.night. It was my daily pleasure to watch them go and come, and fad that they were safe. And now our eldest daughter is going to leave us- going to Wlnntboro, South Carolina, to live, where her husband has found profitable employment. They have five children, some of whom were felly visitors and made ns yumf when tfcey came. What shall art do now? Wfc thought that thia exodus of our children was over. My wife and I are growing old and it grieves us to lose our children and grandchildren. But this la the common lot. There la noth ing true but heaven. ' —" V "" Mr. J. P.

Canefto l» Mr. Andrew Carnegie, in his on being installed as rector of St. Andrew's University in Scotland, seems disposed to attempt the difficult feat of rid ing two horses at once. His subject in this address was the question of industrial supremacy and the ways and means of at taining and maintainingmdm| tendency in the world of com merce. Mr. Carnegie is in debted for his incalculably enor mous fortune to his share in the Industrial supremacy of these Upltwd. States, a supremacy which he is supposed to have promoted to the extent of him acknowledged ability. In his rec tor’s address, os reported by cable, he gives his attention to the ways and means by which European nations may possibly check the progress of American commerce and overcome the impetus which oar industries have gained in advance of other nations. In bis review of the possible agencies for checking American progress. Mr. Carnegie sttmma rises the resources of- Great Britain, and finds them inade quate to the task. So also Ger many aud the ocher nations of Europe taken singly. No one of them alone is capable of en countering and defeating Ameri can competition. What h e would have, therefore, is a grand combine of the commercial and industrial interests of all Europe to make a staad against America and turn back the tide of Ameri can invasion. Such a combina tion, Mr. Carnegie thinks, could be effected by the emperor of Germany. If Wilhelm II would take the matter in band, he, with his brilliant intellectual qualities and masterly executive ability, could lead all the nations of Europe into tn industrial and commercial alliance against the United States which won Id be strong enough to resist the ut most effort* the American in vaders could bring against it. This is certainly a new position for Mr. Carnegie to take, and one which it will be apparently very difficult for him to defend. Somebody Host Provide Bivi B». Ixrot. lUpabllc. Apologists for the trusts have said that the combinations rep resent only the economies of or ganised production. Morgan’s operations give aa unmistakable example of some thing else. In the harvester combination be bought a Mil waukee plant for $1,500,000 tad put it into the trust at a valuation of $5,000,000. What is this but water, on which purchasers of farm machinery are asked to provide dividends? If the other concerns were pot in at three times their actual value, the Trust is demanding profits on stock which is two thirds water.
