When we look at our profession from a business standpoint, we must be culpably blind if we fail to recognize the importance of these meetings. Do not business men meet in their boards of trade, in their exchanges, and consult? They watch the market: thov. mark the mictuatioiis of prices to avoid an emergency : they read the papers atid stock and trade journals; they, in these meetings and from thusc journals, cull

Furthermore, the businoss man of the true type seeks to enlarge his business each year bv investing more capital Would it be amiss iu us, fellow-teachers,! to add to our little stock of knowledge! by taking papers and journals, attending Institutes and Associations, and observ ing and noting dowti how others, who! arc perhaps a little better favored, attain to some prominence in the proiossiou : It italic merchant who invest! the largest cash capital that is the most likely to reap the largest profits: aad it is the; teacher who invests the largest amount of brain capital, or the will power to sedulously pursue the onward and up ward course that will unmistakably pro duce that capital, who will reap the greatest profits in the school-room. Our Institutes are, therefore, a medium through which much useful knowledge may be disseminated, and it is our duly to at tend them, and what we do, if it is worth doing at all. ig worth doing well.

After his en gagement the party started out to '-do" the towns along the line of the Ohio and Mississippi railroad, and showed at Washington and Olnev. While at the former Dlace.

This discovery was made Thursday noon. Mr. Mcllrido went to police headquarters for a detachment of m. p.'s to take the festive Dan. in. but he was compelled to wait so long that when he returned with the officers Rice had flown. The girl was taken charve of bv hnr Drouier, aim tne party immediately started on their return home, arriving in this city at half-past six o'clock, yesterday illuming. J Here is no doubt at all but that Dan. Hlce is the man who would have lead this young thing to destruction. Mhs Ackerman asserts positively that the man in her company at the Tremont House is the author of the letters, and the object of her infatuation; and that man is also ideiiiiiied as tho veritable clown. The young lady is the daughter of highly respectable people, and only about seventeen years of age. and ofan'unusutally prepossessing appearance. She is surrounded by every luxury that the female heart could desire, and the manlier in which she has been persuaded to wko mis latai step is a mvstery. She will not tell what transpired durinir thn night previous to her timely recovery from a fate worse than death, and but for the existing doubt that she has not naRc cd through the dangers that beset her 'nail. 3 1 rt (mm, iiuercauiL-U, IIIB IIIII1US Ol IlfT pCOpiC would be at rest, and joy would reigu supreme.

HeariN Up. IiKilaap)i SmiUm), The man who can hold up his hesd in this world need not bo especially anxious abouti the condition of tilings in tho next. An honest man lias a divine right to hold up his head. An honest man is always brave, always generous. His Jheart is in tho right place. Honesty is not 6 urn mod up in paying promptly every honest pecuniary debt. This is well, but honesty has a "broader fikruifi-

cancc. To bo honest is to be upright, trusty, faithful, equitable, iust, riirhtful. sincere, frank, caudid, to act from pure principles and to bo directed bv honorable objects. It is to bo chaste," faithful aim virtuous, a. nonest man is never mean, never contemptible, etnalhtouled nor winte nverod. Hence, an honest man may hold tin his head and look Heaven and earth sriaare in tho face. defy death and the devil. An honeat man is a sovereign iu bis own riirht. Pope said " an honest man is the uoblost work of God." True. lie mav claim kinship with deity. He is an heir to all that is good in earth and in Heaven. His eye never loses its defiant irlow. His hoart never gets down into his boots. Ho never turns pale in moments of dan gcr. ue laces the world's music, whether harmonious or discordant. If he loves, it is true, ir lie worships, it is soul de votion. If he gets iu to trouble, he does not uack out nor lie out of it. Ho mav fight out, but ho does not make anv dis honorable compromises. He holds tip his head, and if death comes his friends and the coroner will find the corpse in the right place. Some one has written "Midst the turmoil of life we are prone IU UCIVHll Our lot, shouki we mako a mistake, But jog alone easy and never say fail. And you'll conquer what you under take, There's much to cucourage a resolute heart, For your friends all your actious wil scan. And will help and assist you in doing your part If you hold your head up like a man." For the Jasper Cotri:a. Cracker Neck Debate. October 12th, 1879. Editor Courier. The masculine por tion ot tins neignborhood have organized a Debating Society, which meets once a week at the Osborn School-house. Their question last week was on "Woman's Bights, and they gave the women fits; one gentleman especially came down on them, uot allowing woman brains enough to keep out of the fire during a shower of rain, and the sisters were so incensed about it that they called'amcrfIng, which was largely attended at the Vaughn School-house last night, and as my wife allowed mo to go with her to nurse the baby, I thought I would send you a report of the meeting. On motion, Sarah C. Gunboat was called to the Chair, and Mary J. Sourdick was chosen Secretary. The follow ing resolutions were then adopted Resolved, That wo tender our thanks to Dr. O. for his appropriate defence of our rights ou tho occasion referred to; and we, one and all, singly and collectively promise him our voles if ho ever asks for an office, we, of course, allowing our husbands to perform the manual labor of casting tho ballot. Resolved, That we consider Mr. B. our enemy; and furthermore, if any member of this society shall" invite 'him to nine or sup, or mend his socks or gloves, or treat him politely, such mem ber shall be expelled from this society.

n Oil City Man Buriw His Child

Iu Ills Hack Yard. Last week a child of Mr. MeVeagh. of Oil City, a boy between three and four years of age, died. Mr. McVeagh being a free thinker, thought it inconsistent with us views to have his child buried in the cemetery or with any of tho pomp and circumstance connected with burial ser vices as generally conducted, and therelore dug a grave in his back yard, where the body was interred. Tho occurrence caused considerable of an excitement andtalk. On beiiiir miestioncd unou the aflidr, Mr. McVcagh said: "Tho facts of tho case arc simply theso: My nine uoy was taken sick with scarlet fover and died. I do not believe in the superstitions I see around me ; I have outgrown them. Therefore I did not lire au undci taker to como to mv house with a piece of crape on his arm, as though ho was sorrowing; according to my idea such things are not right. I did uot take him to any church for a minister who knew nothing of him to make an oration over him. I dug his gravo out in the garden whore he loved to play, aud while digging it I baptized tho ground with my tears. My little ones carried the coffin out to the grave, into which I put it. Some persons had gathered there some were asv frlemU. somo out of curiosity aid I spoke to them of the child : how he had played In this garden; how he had gathered its fruits; now here he had made little bouquets for his mother, and it was here in tho playground of his childhood I wanted to lay him."-Erio Herald, Oct 7.

Bo prompt in all things ! Consider well, then decide positively! Dare to do right I Fear to do wrong ! Endure trials patiently! Fight life's battle bravely, manfnlly ! Go not in the society of the vicious I Hold integrity sacred ! Injure not another's reputation or busi ness! Join hands only with the virtuous ! Keep yourmind from evil thoughts ! Lie not for any consideration ! Make few acquaintances! Never try to appear what you are not ! Observe good manners ! Pay your debts promptly! Question'not the veracity of a friend! Respect the counsel of your parents ! Sacrifice money rather'than principle! Touch not, taste not. haudle notintoxicatingliquors! use your leisure time for improve ment! Venture uot upon the threshold of wrong! Watch carefully over your passions ! 'Xtcnd to everv oue a kindly saluta tion ! Yield not to discouragements! Zealously labor for the right! & success is certain ! THden and the Ohio Election. Tildcn goes to" the political boneyard, as well as Thurman. by reason of the Ohio disaster. Only two candidates remain for the democracy, whose names are much talked of Hendricks and Bayard. If Bayard's friends will assent to a ticket constituted in this order of the two names, it will be a most powerful one perhaps invincible. Certainly it would bo if New York should accept it. Uut if Bayard declines to be a second, or it now York demands Clarkson IS. Potter, then the ticket will stand as the Times-Journal has frequently suggested. ior president, Thomas A. Jlcndricks; for vice-president, Clarkson N. Potter. n (I such a ticket will have more strength to begin a canvass with than any other that, can possibly ho named by the demo cratic party, John Ivelly will get over 10O.000 votes in oNew York State. T hiswill heat Ifobinson bv 75,000 votes, and literally extinguish Tildcn, his backer. Hut holly will support Potter, and Pot ter can carryand will carry New York. Ho thus tills the conditions' of a candidate need for the national ticket. St. Louis Times-Journal. Evansvillo Journal : The E. & T. II. R. It.
