Mr. Keene, a: shrewd and thrifty far mer of Allenborough, owned a large flock ol sheep, and one autumn, when it came housing time, he was greatly annoyed upon missing a number of his finest mut tons, among them three or four wethers which he had raised and fattened for his own table. He was sure it wa9 not the work of dogs, and the most he could do was to await iurther developments. On the following spring, when his i sheep were turned out to pasture, he in stltuted a careful watch, and ere long he detected Tom Stickney, a neighboring tanner, in the act of pilfering a sheep: but be made no noise about it at the time Stickney was a man well to do, and Keene did not care to expose him. Autumn came again, and upon connt ing up his flock, Mr Keene found eight I sheep missing. He made out a bill In elite; lorm to Thomas Slickuey for the i eight sheep, and presented it. Sticknev choked and stammered, but did not back down. Like a prudent man he paid the bill aud pocketed the receipt. Another spring time came, and Mr. Keene's sheep were again turned out. Another autumn came, and the farmer again took an account of his stock, and this time fifteen sheep were missing. As before he made out the bill to Tom Stick ney for the whole number missing; but this time Tom objected. "It is too much of a good thing,"’ said he. “Filteen sheep! Why bless your soul, I havn't had a fifth part of ’em.” Mr. Keene was inexorable. “There is the bill,’’ said he, "and 1 have made it out in good faith. 1 have made no luss when my sheep have been missing because I deemed rour credit good and sufficient.” ell groaned Tom, with a big gulp. “I suppose I must pay but,” he added, emphatically, “we'll close that account from this time. You have given me too much credit altogether, some other rascal has been stealing on the strength of it.”— Pittsburg Chronicle W. L. THOMPSON, M. Cornert-tntonnd Green 8t«.

The people of Maine, of every religious dennmi narton, political party, temperance organization, and of m> organization, who believe in and practice total abstinence from tdl intoxicating drinks, nnd who are In favor of the suppression of their f»alc by every laudable, practicable and effectual measure, are Invited to meet in Mass Convention at XtOJlUn Hall In Augusta, on Wednesday January 15,1873, SiTf o'clock noon, to adopt such means as they may judge best to reform tbo inebriate, to save the young from the paths of intemperance, and to drive, if possible, the traffic from the land. Let there be a general rally. We need to encourage each other's teartt and strengthen each other’s hands in this great work. The usual redaction ctf larc r.n the several rail roads may be expected. The Convention wlli probably continue through rtundav JOSHUA NXJ1, J.S. KIMBALL, D. B. RANDALL. E. W. MORTON* A. J. W. STEVENS O. U.HALI. O. R WILSON, Dec 8t> lit* Mai-- Temperance Committee The message- of Governor Terham is mentioned in terms of approbation by the leading jotrrnah cf Boston and New York, and the excellent financial condition of the State is particularly noticed. A few Jays ago it was thought ihere would be au abundant ice crop on the rivers south and west, but with the recent thaw and breaking up cf the streams the vision of an ice crop in such quarters has suddenly slipped away. The prospect is that Maine will have to supply the couutry with ice as usual, from it- crystal lakes and river*. The jt. John correspondence of lho New York Herald in relation to the Reci procity Treaty is arrant nonsense. If the abrogation of the treaty was so fine a thing for the Dominion, their indignation at the act of repeal, and their persevering and constant efforts ever since to re-es tablish the treaty or its equivalent are strange. For a measure that was inimi cal to their interests as this writer pre tends they manifested a wonderful liking ror it. There are signs at Washington that the democratic party in the South is breaking up and away from the organization. The rebellion begun in North Carolina against the old fire-eating leaders it is said will be followed by similar movements in Geor gia and other States. Overtures have been made from different parts of the South, and the probability is that a change will be witnessed in Southern polities favorable tothe growth of the republican policy in all that section. Governor Washburn of Massachusetts takes very decided ground in his message against ale and beer shops, lie says, “if e are to accept the evidence of those who have had the most painful experience of the miseries produced by these places, they are among the greatest obstacles to the social and moral progress of the com munity. The testimony of criminals of every degree is, that they were drawn by frequenting beer houses into offences and violations ot law of which they might oth erwise have remained innocent." /oxotaxce and its coxse QVEXCE. Tire question of education and the duty of the State in connection with it will be prominent before the legislature at this -cssion. Doubtless there are many mem bers who think the condition of .the State In regard to education is well enough and agitation of the subject useless. Rut these are mostly those who have never given the matter much thought, being en grossed in business and occupations that have led their attention in other directions. These believe the present system is good, and the schools accomplishing a satisfac tory work, and with that they are prone to be satisfied. If they toll that the schools need the more careful attention and aid of the Slate they would ('heqgHMy take hold ol the work. But they neVW will know the importance of general education un less they study the facts which show it. As a step in that direction we call atten tion to the following article from the New Hampshire Statesman, carefully based up on the census returns and the report of the National Bureau of Education. Such facts ought to awaken attention to the condi tion of our schools. We 1 ru-t they will be candidlv considered: According to the last census returns, there are in the United States 1,653,281 adult males who are totally unable to read or write. Ad ding fifty per cent, lor those who are able to read so poorly as not fully to understand com mon English, we liaTO 2,075,211 practically illiterate legal voters in the country, in Al abama, '453 per cent, of the voters can neither read or write j in Mississippi Georgia and Flor ida, 15 per cent, of them are in the some con dition; in Kentucky, 28 jler cent, are illiter ate; in Maryland 22 per cmt., and in Dela ware 24 per cent. As 300,000 is a wry large majority of the popular vote in any Presiden tial election, it is evident that the result of any canvaaa for the President* may he prac tically determined ly less than otic-sixth part of the utterly Ignorant electors. What a commentary on the oft repeated saying, that the basis of our free institutions is^iie intel ligence of the people! What a temptation doea such a mass of ignorance present for the machinations of evil and designing dema gogues'. In lour of the largest States in the Union, a majority of the legal voters are in capable of reading the Scriptures ol Di vine Truth, much less capable of reading and understanding the Constitution of the St3te or nation. \V hat, then, is the hounden duty of the State and national governments Man ifestly, to enact and enforce compulsory edu cation upon all classes and conditions of the population, as essential to the preservation of our republican institutions. But there is an economical, as well as po litical view of this question, which is deserv ing the consideration of our statesmen and lawgivers. The recent l rar.co German war, as well as our own rebellion, demonstrated the intense superiority of educated over il literate aoldior*. It moreover appears by careful inquiry, of those most competent to judge, made through the bureau of Edu cation hy the Hon. John Eaton Jr.. United State* Commissioner of Education, that on an average tbe ability to read and write adds at least twenty-five per cent, to the product iveness of the rudest manual labor, so that if our illiterate adult males were able to read and write they would earn at least one quar ter more than they now do. Taking this the ory as correct, the 1,554,931 adult males, shown by the census return to be incapable of reading or writing, if they should but add to their intelligence the capacity to read and write, would add annually to the production of the country more than $116,612,425, com puting at only twenty-five cent* per day’s la bor. This sum is nearly double the whole 1 amount annually paid out for public school i instruction in the whole country. The in-' creased earnings in Alabama would be more than fie,000,000, or nearly sixteen times the amount paid for education there; in Arkan- 1 sas nearly $3,000,000 or more than fourteen times what is paid for education there; in Florida, more than $1,500,000 or more than forty time* what is there so paid; in Connec- j ticut $721,275, or more than one-half their present expenditure for education; in Massa chusetts, $2,880,650, or about two-thirds of their annual expenditure for public schools; and in New Hampshire $254,925, or more than three-fourths of our annual educational expenses. But Commissioner Eaton, to whom we are indebted for our figures, states the lurther fact as the result of his investiga- i tior, that such an advance in education as 1 gives a man sufficient ability not merely to read and write, but to manage business for himself or supervise the business of others. adds from 65 to 75 per cent, to his capacity i for earning money; making it C3 per cent. only, then if all our adult males were cduc.it- ed up to that standard, their increased earn- ings would annually exceed $311,000,060,1 nearly five times the total amount expended for piblic school education in the entire l’ nion.' As a pur? matter ot money maaing, there- fore, aside from all considerations o: strictly moral and political character, the universal education of the whole tody of the people is imperatively demanded. We have an excel lent law upon our statute book, designed to meet the requirements of this great question, and which if enforced would secure to every child in the State, of school-age. at least the rudiments of a good education. But is that law enforced? Are there not, in all our large towns and cities, multitudes of children of both sexes, growing up in complete ignor ance, through the failure of the proper au- j thorlties to enforce the provisions of the stat ute of 1871, compelling every child to attend the public school of his district, for a certain portion of every year, unless instructed in n private school or at home for an equivalent period, or prevented from attendance by phy sical or mental incapacity? We make the In quiry in all sincerity, for we solemnly believe fliero is most gross neglect of duty upon this subject. Let the friends of education see to j it, that those whose duty it is to entorce this most important law, do not neglect it. The law itself provides a penalty for such neglect and if the authorities can bo induced to dis charge their duties in no other way, let that penalty be enforced. The lnteres‘3 of the children themselves and of the whole commu nity imperiously require that brute ignor ance be utterly banished from the State, in respect to th? rising native born generation. A MMJSTES SESTSXCCD -4 8 A ST AY. UJC A toirespondent of Tlw Cincinnati Com mercial, who is making a tour of the Southern States, writes, from Columbia. S C\. an in teresting account of the recent trial nr.d con viction of nine Ku-Klux prisoners. Among these was a Baptist minister, concerning whom the correspondent says The next case was that of the llev. John S. Ezell, a prominent Baptist minister of Spar tanburg, a man of ability, intelligence, and influence with his flock. His counsel sub mitted affidavits and petitions in his behalf, praying for mercy. The reverend gentleman himself read a written statement, telling all about his connection with the Klan. He had joined because nearly everybody else in the county belonged to it, and he thought it a good thing. Ho repeated the oath of the Klan, which is the same a? heretofore pub lished, binding the .parties to forever oppose the Republican party, to stand by the Consti tution as originally made by our forefathers, to do all in their power against the Thir teenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amend ments, protect women, regulate society, pre vent crime, &c. The penalty for divulging any of the secrets, oaths, grips, and pass words of the Klan was death. He had joined in 1871. Had never been on a raid, never saw one, and nobody could complnin of any act of hit; hut by joining and participating in the Klan councils he had prevented many persons from being troubled. He had visited other Klans in adjoining counties, hut had never attended a Brand Council, which was made of representatives from subordinate Klans. He said he was now sorry that he had ever belonged to such an organization; that it had turned out not to he such a good thing as he at first supposed. One object in join ing was to restrain youpg men. and prevent them from going to extremes. [At this a voice among the negroes ex claimed, “That’s too thin!’’] Judge—“Have you now a congregation “Ves, Sir; my church and congregation are at Spartanburg." “How many of your congregation belong to the Ku-Klux?" "1 do not know but the most ot them, I suppose. Nearly everybody in that neighbor hood had joiiltd the Klan, nm^imong them are, of course, a number of my emgregation.” "Did you ever preach from the pulpit against the organization or any of its acts?" "No, Sir; for, if I had been disposed, such a course would not have been sale. Nor, in deed did I believe there was safety outside the Klan.” “Do you think you should not have joined "From tho turn matters have taken, I think I would have been better off not to have joined.” “Did you ever know any other clergyman to belong to it?" “No, Fir.” “Didn't the liev. Mr. Carpenter tuu rway for fear of being arrested for belonging to it?" “Oh. yes, but he is a Methodist; I am a Baptist minister.” (Laughter.] “Then if you did not agree in theology, you agreed in the creed of the Ku-Kluv. didn't y ou “Well, yes sir; it would appear so.” “Did you ever advi»c tho br aking up of the organization “Yes, sir; 1 have attended no meeting of ttie Klan since Juno last when 1 r.dviscd that it be broken up.” “Tliis was Htttr lie- act of Congress was passed, was it not?" “Yes Sir.” “If it was a charitable organization orguod organization, w hy the need of breaking it up?” "Because in some localities it was being carried too far-" The Judge was silent fora mouuut.as if not sure what course to take with the sorrow stricken preacher who stood pale and penitent before him. He then said “Mr. Kz.ell, I find myself placed in a very embarrassing position. Other parties, your inferiors in intellect, influ- ence, and everything else—these prisoners here I have sentenced—these young men had I a right to look up to you for advice, and you should have counseled them to have kept elear.of such a murderous organization. In stead of this, 1 find that you have been a member of the Klan, sitting in its councils, and encouraging it with your presence. You appeal to me for mercy, although you show no good reason why you should have mercy. You must make your appeal for mercy to tho President. 1 cau show y ou no leniency here. The sentence of the Court is that you be fined j SIOO, and be imprisoned five years.” OEXERAL XEHS. In L'shur county, Texas, ten thousand Chinamen are at work on the Texas Pacific railroad.

Scmetmie3 medicines that will stop a cough will often occasion the death of the patient. It locks up the liver, stops the circulation ol the blood, hemor rhage follows, aud, in fact, clogging the action of the very organs that caused the cough. Liver complaint and dyspepsia are the causes of two-thirds of the oases of consumption. Many art now complaining with dull puin in the bide, the bowels sometimes costive and sometimes too loose tongue coated, pain in the shoulder blade, feeling sometimes very restless, and at other times drow sy; the food that is taken lies heavily on the stom ach. accompauied with acidity and belching of wind. These symptoms usually originate from a disordered condition of the stomach or a torpid liver. Person* so affected, if they take one or two heavy colds, and if the cough in these cases be budd’euly stopped, the lungs, liver and stomach clog, and remain torpid and inactive aud before the patient is aware of his situation, the lungs are a mass of sores, and ulcerated, and death is the in evitable result. Schenck’s Pulmonic Syrup is an expectorant,; which doe3 not contain any opium, nur anything calculated to check a cough suddenly. Schenck's Seaweed Tonic dissolves the food, mixes with the gastric* juice of the stomach, digests easily, nourisht* j the system, and creates a healthy circulation of the blood. When the bowels are costive, skin sallow, and the patient is of a bilious habit, Schenck’s Mandrake Pill* are required. These medicines are prepared by I>r. J. II.

Jtfnitfkr journal, How to Sate Tour Eyes. When will llio«c working by lamplight have the sense to understand the use of shades to protect the eyes Wc see per sons sitting holding their sewing or other work before or near to a lamp, while the •light is blazing full into their eye®. It is plain that the object that they work upon cannot be seen with so great distinctness while the field of their retina is already occupied by a blaze. But they work on tor hours, and though the next rooming their visual organs tell ot the abuse by redness and incarnation, the workers are too dull to learn the lesson of experience offered them. Circular paper shades can be obtained lor a few cents, and these not only protect the eyes front the excess of light, but serve as a reflector behind the blaze, increasing the illumination one-half. Besides the above mentioned evil, there is that of the varying quantity of light thrown into the eye by it® being suddenly and alternately directed to the blaze or obliquely away from it, by which the pupil has not time to adapt itself to the increase of'glare; whereas, with the n®e of the shade the illumination would be uniform. The number of persons in the community baring spots, light or dark, in the field of vision, arising from injury to the retina by the ill usages which we are mention ing, is greater than 1® commonly imag ined. It must be borne in mind that these •pots are a serious step toward® amauro sis and gutta-scrcna, such as plunged in darkness the latter year® of the great Mil ton, and many others more eminent for their talents than their caution.

By curing Coughs, the forerunners of more serious disease, it saves v.t. numbered lives, end an amount of suffering not to be computed. It challenges trial, and ct.v vinces the most sceptical. Every family should keep it on hand ns a protection against the early and unperceived attack of Pulmonary A tie,. ;ions, which are easily met at fir-t, but v.hft! oecotne incurable, and too often fatal, if w iected. Tender lungs r.ecd this defence; and it is unwise to be without it. As a safeguard to children, amid the distressing diseases which beset the Thront and Chest of childhood.
