Of these interests has hone More vitally connected with her future Prosperity than the education of All her children. But How shall this fond be touched for schools is the delicate ques Tion. On no other tax probably do the peo ple feel More sensitive than the school we do not despair of seeing the opposition to this tax subside.

The Christian rejoiced to see a brother in the and even the sceptic could not conceal his satisfaction at the proposition. The old Man took a Well worn Bible on which no dust was gathered though age had marked it and read with reverence a portion of the sacred scriptures. He then Supplicate the divine Protection acknowledged the divine and prayed for Pardon guidance Grace and salvation he prayed too for the strangers that they might be prospered on their journey and at the close of their earthly journey that they might Haver a Home in heaven. He was evidently a Mam and that Humble cottage was a place where prayer was wont to be made.
