4- GOOD CITIZENSHIP. Aildrmbjr linn. Wm.ll.Hmltli tn Lllrrarj HwlctlM, llrm Oollrg, Jnnt.lfW. I am hero to-night to spenk to you ou good citizenship. What makes CI citizen! A good citizen, friends, of nil, is man who olxjs tho law.

No man can bo a good citizen and violato tho law. No man can bo a law breaker nnd a good citizen. As wo look about wo cnn seo who nru good citizens. Who arc they! Thoy aro tho men that olwy tho law. Hut that is not nil.

Tho obeying of tho law will not mako you good citizen. You can treat your neighbors kindly and Iks honest and livo to bo 90 years of nge, and yet not fill yp tho raoasuro of good citizonship. You must not only obey tho law but you must uphold th law. You must help enforce tho law. A man horo in your town sees crime to-morrow.

It wns an outrageous crime. That man goes homo and nits down and thinks cr haps nobody knows this except mysolf. That man is not a good citizen. Go at onco to tho proper authorities and have tho criminal arrested. Thore aro men in the country who want to get away from tho obligations of the law.

Ho must risk his life if need bo to uphold, it. A good citizen must bo something more. Ho must bo man that takes interest in the things around him. in tho state, in tho nation. Thero is a largo class of people who aro getting rlcli who scarcely oyer go to tho polls to vote, unless it is convenient.

Just such neglect on tho part of citizens is what is bringing this country to its present condition. Henry Ward Beechersaid, "A mnn; is not a Christian who fails to voto when he ought to voto." Now another thing, you must Ins a just man. What do you mean by just. Well you have heard tho story of tho Indian and white man who wont hunting. And the white man, more sagacious than tho Indian, said, "You take the buzzard nnd I will takoj the turkoy, or I will tako tho turkey and vou take tho buzzard." Either, way tho white man got tho turkoy, Just? "Certainly not.

It was au out race UPOII tho lnUiail. mm a greater wrong to himself.

You remember nicely: Ayres Academy, with the story iu tho Gospel.

The master! Miss Rebecca Edwards as teacher; had a deW and had him brought in. Cane Spring, teachor, Mr. Jno. Ed-He owod him one thousand talents, wards; Js orris Chapel, (colored) Mrs. SI ,100,000.

He told him he wauted lorenco Lame teacher, the money. "Why, 1 cannot pay it." Should stranger chance to pass "Well but I will sell yourself and wife! through College Hill on Saturday and your children." Ho said, "Lord, evening and see tho "marble players be patient with me and I will pay collecting for their weekly game, ho all.

Ho nut him in For only SIB.

Tho master sent for tho man nud said, "How is it you can go now and put this man in prison "Tako him away and turn him over to the tormentors." Ho had no mercy. Ho could not bo good citizen. Mercy without justico would be a farce. But justice with mercy is a crowning glory. Now thero is something lso which, it takes to mako a good citizon.

I know that Bomehow or other some bovs and girls now who aro being educated talk and argue, "Whon I am educated and get a diploma I must not do any more hard work." I understand that you aro taught differently here and I congratulate you on that. No man can do his duty, no man cau be just, merciful, firm in upholding the right, unless he works. I do not mean labor that takes tho life out of you. but I moan such labor as you ought to perform in the duties of life, We Southern peoplo unfortunately class all labor with slavery. We are just getting out of that shadow.

There is no Kind of work upon earth that is not dignified. Tho man that pecks rock upon tho roadsido, the blacksmith, tho mechanic, tho merchant, the physician that waits upon the patients, tho lawyer that stands tin for riirht at all times, and tho preacher that stands in tho pulpit, all theso must work. But mind you tho man that pocks rock upon tho road- jcomou Dy jolly trtonus and plenty ot side and does it well is entitled to as i dinner. much honor as any of tho others.

1 lo.ft VI4Im UruiMlt Mut with ivarir tnarbliM. it costs you nothing THE SCHOOL. Kdltrd 1T MM. Rl.UA II. YiiCVM, Pcn ol tho Jforml Pfrrlmnt, norm College Somo weeks ago I suggested that each teacher choose somo one thing which ho would try to tench upecially well this year, reading everything to be found on it nnd thinking out tho causes of failure, nnd the reasons for success in your former experience.

It would plenso me very much to hnvo you writo mo nnd tell what you aro trying to do. Thoro Is one linonlong which I wish that wo might nil bo working all tho time, whatever wo aro teaching and that is traiuiug our pupils to use good Euglish and to express thomselves in clear and pleasant tones. 1st. Expression is not very difficult to one who is full of his subject, 1 nnd wo often make a mistake by in sisting that our pupils tell what they 1 no uot know. To repent the words of a book when the child does not evcu guess nt their meaning can hardly bo called oxpres sion.

So in all assignment of lessons nnd oversight of work wo must. Iw t)0ggihi0 SUTO 11 IS JI0S8IOIC for the child to learn something worth telling. Then thero must bo somo Impulse to tell it and, thirdly, must help hi in to cultivato accuracy and fiueucu of speech. 2nd. Stylo of expression is just as catching as the measle, and if tho teacher talks in a drawling, hot iniisli-in-tho-mouth kind of fnshion, he cannot oxject clear tones and vigorous manner from his pupils.

Expression reacts iiiou 1110111:111. If pupil opens his mouth nnd tells in clear, concise way what ho knows, his thinking will bo clonror next time nnd his knowledge will be dcfiuitelv fixed. But let Ixiy or girl sit lazily in tho seat, or Maud iu slouchy jkwi-tion and recito in tono that expres-; ses uncertainty and that recitation has done more harm than good. "Not how much, hut how well," was ono of the sentences in nn old copy lxxjk nnd it certainlv applies here.

College. Thero aro few things that I want us to talk over regarding children's rights. On somo of theso wb shall agree partly, on othera wo may differ. I. Every child hs right to a comforablo homo, to good, wholesome food, nnd to proper clothing, Wo aro sum of this, then if we should not ngreo that no body under year old has any business to eat meat or iotntoos.

'2. Most of us beliovo that our children have right to as good nn education as wo can possibly giro them. Considerable has been said in this pn-xjr about tho education of the schools and it is about the things that our children ought to learn iu tho homo that I want to spenk. rt. Do you ngreo with mo that ono of tho very first lessons is obedience! If wo raclizo thnt ever body has right to 1x4 mada to mind, not cruelly but quietly, firmly, kindly, wo would very seldom need to use tho stick in later years.

If real obedionco wero learned, tho children would Po much happier, They need never tease nnd worry themselves nnd parents, if they nre i only taught that a quiet "no' menus ll0 You seo the boy has a right to have lifo made ns ensv for him ns ho cnn, there will 1. troubles nnd tempta- tions enough at liest. our girl will meet enough trials even when she is thoroughly subject to tho hlKbpri m)iiucIj of iiir-olakitl limo per laws of her own home nn.l her own' it iu nfter plowing. i hen we would sow rye.

It wns not pnslured nt all. Finally tho gross rnn out, nnd sinco I have owned It I hnvo plowed it and plowed it and put what hnrnynrd manure I could, trying to get it seeded down to grnss ngaiu. but I find it almost impossible to do this. If there Is any such thing as land lioing robbed, this lnutl has no suffered. Old residents in this placo tell of what good land this "used to be," but I tried one pieco Inst year, nnd druw nearly ono hundred load of inniiuro upon about five or nix acres ns top dressing, nfter I hnd tho oats harvested (the grnss wed Mug sowed in the spring, whon the oats weio sowed); nnd this year thero wns no hay ou it, only now nud thru a few roots of clover.

Tho land is clayey, nud in nice ihapn to work, but I cannot put all tho ninnuru I have on it every year, and I do not feel like buying very much fertilzer.
