Almost any healthy young man or
woman whq is really in earnest can get
an education, but there must be care

Thus to exercise forethought is iu it

From the lack of it result most of tho
failures of life.

money you can get hold of, ui ywhere

A Letter from Sile.
Dbab Citizen:-I'm tickled mostj
to death over Jim Perkins. He's,
come around all right, he has, an' I'm I
most sorry I called him atingy when '
1 1 wrote ye 'Iwtit bira last week.
"Sile," says he to mo yesterdyt
inorniu . Will an iMien ore a gotn
off to school this winter, after all, an'
I've promised $40 to the lxy un' S50
to the gal, 'cause she can't get a
'chance to earn fo much herself.
Forty an' sixty is u hundred, now,
ain't it? It kinder hurts me, Sile,"
says he, "to give that hundred dollars
' for nothiu' but a little schoolin', an'
me dqL a seein' much use in it, as I
told ye last week. But I reckon
you're right, Sile. Leastways there
ain't uo harm in makin' the expeeri
ment. An' if they don't get stuck up
the first year, so's they can't work
about their old pappy'a farm next
' summer, I don't care if they do catch
j a little book-learnin' an' fine manners."
"Good for you, Jim!" says I, but
Ed Holloway up nn' says, (Ed was a
'settin'with us on the porch,) "Jim,"
I says he, "schoolin' an' cypherin is all
, right, an' learnin' to speak pieces is
all right, but 1 woulun t send my
children down to Berea where yours
. are a goinV-not if they had to speak
'their pieces to the fire-place all their
I lives!" '
, "Why notT" says Jim."
" 'Cause they've got some niggers
down there what sit in tho stmo
school room with the white folks, an
say their lessons to the same teachers.
That's why."
An' Jim, he didn't know hardly
what to say, bein' a little weak in the
faith himself. But I couldn't keep
still no way.
"Ed Holloway," says I, "looky here.
Did you fight in tho Bame army with
tho darkiesl"
"Reckon I did," says ho. '
"An do ye buy yor goods ot tho
same store with em I"
"Reckon I do," says he.
"An do ye voto at the Bame polliu'
place with 'eml"
"Can't deny it," says he.
"An' do ye say yer proyers to the
same God tliitt they dol"
"There ain't but only one Got!,"
sit vs he.
"Then if ye do all theso things with
em, says l,
says 1, "what Hurt noes it uo yu
to say yer lessons to tuo same leacu
ere: Six in ouo an' sovon iu 'tothor,"
says I.
"Yes," says he, "but a heap o' nig
gers are uo 'count fellers, now, uu'
you caii t ueuy U.
"Of course, says 1, "un' now nn'
then h white feller, too, I reckon. But
there is durkis," says I, "what are as
much account us you are,--uu' more'n
I claim to be, -uu thum s tuo kuui
I what most generally shows up in tho
: school room. I heard tell of u man
what stuck to it uu went to school
down there for tiirteen years, uu a
man what'U do that is worthy of im
itation, -if the Lord did make him
bluok. Don't have to go uu' hug
him," says I. "Just treat him liko a
gentleman, that's all."
An' Ed, he kinder coughed an' said
nothiu'. "Good bye, Ed," says I, "I
must be goiu' home. But remember
that this judgiu' a man's character
au' fitness by tho color ot his hide is
like that fool feller what looked into
a horse's mouth to seo whether he'd
kick or notl"
