An Education In n Hundred Yours.
Cakthovim.k, Tkxas.
Emtok MicnoOKV:—By Ox Driver's let-
ter In Tiik M kiicuhy of October 11!, I see
that lio is rather down-hearted, and seems
to despulí' of ever obtaining a good educa-
tion, und well lio muy despair If ho thinks
It will lake him u hundred years to acquire
it. Hut I differ with him on this point, for
It Is my opinion that any one with a fulr in-
tellect can, by devoting one hour cncli duy
to study, licitóme qualified to lili a pleusnt
as well as u profitable position, In the
course ol u few years. Ox Driver thinks
that a good, practical education requires
proficiency in ten or twelve branches; but 1
can Inform him that If thin Is tho ease, there
are vory few persons in tills country who
have a good education. A thorough knowl-
edge! of all branches, while it would bo very
profitable, Is not essonllal to success.
"Know HotnQihlDKof everything, und ovory-
tlilng of something," Wliilo it is impossi-
ble to bo muster of nil brunches, we should
strive to got. u thorough knowledge of ono
brunch and a much us possible of the rest.
J think tlio farmer boy luis u splendid op-
opportuulty for mental culture; lie has
many u Icasuro hour which lie can apply to
study; then t.hero are the rainy days, und
the long winter evenings, ull of which win
bo profitably spent In acquiring useful
knowledge. Hooks can always bo obtained.
If he has none, and has no means to buy
them. Ho can go to the village school-
master, who will ho glad to «upply him.
In pursuing the routine of furm work he
can ponder and digest what ho has reud.
Ho Is fur removed from tho turmoil of the
city and does not derivo falso notions of
manliness, such aitlie city boy does who
thinks ho is a man when ho can smoke a
elgarotte, walk with swagger, and effect
to speiik "English, ye knnw." Though the
farmer boy may not be so uffoctedly pol-
lshod in manners, and though Ills behavior
may be decided as rude, yet In him there Is
generally more true, sterling worth, than
in the shallow, superficial "town kid,"
whose solo ambition frequently consists In
the desire to outshlno tho others in dross,
and whoso whole montal energy Is often
exponded In devising a new way of tying a
cravat, or wearing a watch chain.
In conclusion, Ox Driver remarks, that
men of the most .brilliant lntolloct come
from the rural districts. This is vory true,
but thoy did not acquire their education at
a single bound, but worked their way up-
ward with a stoady perseverance. History
abounds with bright examples, which
verify this statomont. Wo may road that
Garfield workod on a canal as tow-boy>
which was certainly not a very auspicious
piuco for acquiring an education. Hut ho
applied his spare moments to study, and at
the ago of eighteen ho taught school. I
presume that Ills education was at that
timo yet very limited, but lie worked on
and on, until ho had attained the most ex-
alted position In tho country.
Thus wo soo that with perseverance and
unflinching determination, wo cannot tail
to reach the goal of our Wishes. Do not
bo discouraged by adversity. Talco cour-
age; labor on with unswevcrlng zeal; set
your mark high, for as the poet aptly says,
"Not failure, but low aim Is crime;" yield
not to perdition, and you cannot full to
como out victorious In tho end. I am a far-
mer boy myself, and am laboring under the
satno disadvantages ns Ox Driver, but 1 am
ever hopeful, und though perdition should
ovorcome me, 1
tho sea of ltfe.
would embark afresh on

"Holler Than Thou."
BY SUSAN M. I.U8COMBK.
There are many "holler than thou" peo-
ple in tho world. You will find them well
represented in ulmoit every neighborhood.
Their uoses are long, tholr necks aro still,
and their joints beud with difficulty. Their
Christianity was evidently put into a glass
ease, ages ago, llko a mummy, and Is only
taken out on Sunday for an outing in the
sanctuary; they have no ase for it in ordi-
nary, everyday life. If a fellow man sins
they pass htm by on the other side; If a
woman sins she bocones too low at once
lor them to cast a thought after. They
profess to be Christians, but they do not
Inhabit this world to help lilt up the rallen;
they only walk along their ironelad way, in
their Ironclad armor of self-righteousness,
to show poor sinners how infinitely far
aboyo them they are, and how utterly Im-
possible It would be for anything low and
Tile to appoaoh the Invulnerable fortress of
their unimpeachable, incorruptible, Incom-
parable virtue. If there is anything we
hat* with a most oordial hatted it is a "ho*
lier than thou" Ko man, be he ever
so good, known what lie may be le i to do
under the right temptation. No mancan say
that he is sure of himself, unless Ood mer-
cifully keeps him from temptations and ap-
petites tliut beset our brother or our sUtor.
How do wc know tliut under Hie sume oir-
ctlmstttiices we should have been stronger
tliuu they liuve been't When a niuu aomes
into this stute ol feeling he hit need to set
a watch over himself; he hus need to look
woll to every uvenue by which temptation
can approach. "Let him that thinketh he
stsndetu tuke heed lest lie lull."
Happy and fortunate is the individual
who hus been reured to control Ills temper,
his pulsions und his ar ..ctltes. lie knows
uothing of tho constunt struggle going on
In the life ot one who hus not beeu so
reared. Tuke, for example, the muu with
uu uppetite for intoxicating liquor, it may
liuve beeu inherited, lor there are doubt-
less many cases of that kind. It may buva
been acquired, but in any event what do we
know of tho ugony the man endures, who,
with a thirst for liquor, strivos to live with-
out itf We do not give him half credit
enough when he manages to dn without it,
lor a month perhaps, und then falls. We do
not realize the trluls lie bus had to encoun-
ter; wo talnk nothing of u mouth's success.
We look only ut tho dark und direful going
back Into sin. Oh, how much wo need to
cultívalo charity ! llow much need we
have to remember that our great Exemplar
did oot scorn tho sinner; and when wo
druw our self-rlgntcous "holier thin thou"
garments around us, for lour they inuy be
contaminated by the touch of soine repent-
ant Magdalene, let us look lnlo our own
licurts auij see if wo find there any unsul-
lied und stuinlcss purity of motive which
will justify us in judging our followrauu.
Stop Writing Sentiment.
Woktium, Tkxas.
Editor Mkkcuky:—i luivo been reading
Thk Mkhcdky a good while und 1 think
It tho host paper l'or the farmers I have
ever seen. I admire till tho letters written
by tho il iters, except one or two. I believe
they try to get off u Utile sentiment— Hluo
Eyes 'ind another one or two. Now I doa't
think they should write sentimental letters
for Tub Mkkcury, because it is the fann-
ers paper, und fumen* do not indulge iu
sentimental foolishness.
Ox Driver, you have no idea how I ad-
mire your letters. I wish you would write
overy week. It takes a good ox driver to
make a true jgentlemutt, I wish wo hud
more honest ox drivers, und wo would have
hotter timos. Hist.i.e.
[This would he a sorry world, without
sentiment. .Miss Hello; for it is sentiment
tliut makes lis love our wivos and mothers,
sentiment that, makes us good und true, sen-
timent, that ninkos patriots and heroes. Hut
there Is u kind of silly sentiment—"puppy
love." the old men used to call It—that
should be rebuked. That kind of senti-
ment between immature bnys und gi ris of-
ten loads to disastrous results.—En.]
A Spioy Letter.
San Saiia, Tux ah.
Editor Mkkcuky:—l wish to usk Ox
Driver a few questiniis. Ox Driver, you
say the girls turn their nose up nt the far-
mer boy. Whose fault Is this? Does tho
farmer boy, when he calls on the girls, dis-
cuss literature or tho current news of the
day so lull of vital importance to intelli-
gence? Not a bit of it. Ho dollbertly
leaves his senses at home with bis work-
duy garments, and in tho full dross of folly
goes out to look for a life companion. Af-
ter the weather has been fully discussed,
tho piano is invoked. After tills, comes
compliments In all tho superlatives
at command; this causes a deluge of laugh-
tor and reiteration with polite positivcnc3s
and declarations of sincerity. Then fol-
lows small talk—no small that no mlscrope
could make It visible, Thou ho declares
that ho heard she was going to get married.
This remark contains an amount of fuce-
tlousnoss that cnunot bo computed. Two
hours are given to discussing these obser-
vations, und then tho intellectual banquet is
over, and with a sigh tho youth of twenty
(forty) goes home to complain that tho girls
turn their n0B0 up ut lilm. Whon the far-
mer boy acts llko an intellectual being and
treats tho girls as such, ho will never be
snubbed by ono that has a gruln of com-
mon sonso.
N. G. Hamos, what Is thoro In "Charles
Dickon's" works to nmkoono light-minded?
"He taught tho world" suld Dean Stanly,
as ho stood by his new rando grave, "great
lessons of the eternal vuluo of generosity,
of purity, or kindness and of unselfish-
ness." Scott, Thackery, and George Eliott,
—who can read tlicm and not feel benefited?
I hold it, true that not to know Shukespcar,
tho keen and mighty prober of tho deep
heart ol humanity, is to livo in a nientul
darkness most dcploruble. I would not
give my acqualntanco with theso men and
women for tho costliest gem that ever
sparkled <>n a monarch's brow. "Thank
Ood for Germany!" exclaims William Black
lu his own "Kilmeuy," and with equal
heartiness cries, "thank Ood l'or Charles
Dickons!" whoso Ufo und genius were
spent in couseless endeavor to bcucilt and
rolorm what was wrong iu tho ago lie
lived In. Ann Other, 1 sympathize with
you in your sad a til let I on, though 1 know
but little of this mossengor wo cull douth.
John Goodo llopo, luis the "obstreperous-
noss" of somo of our band frightened you
iiway, and do you now view tho conflict
front afar? Buckle on your armor aguin und
como back. Hurai. Widow.
Married Late to Repent Early.
Tho World's Detroit special says; In 1Í84
Max woll M. Fisher, M) years old, a m llion-
nlre of Detiolt, aud Frances A. Garrison,
lift yours old, wero married. They went on
a wedding tour to California a month later.
White lu Santa Barbara ho alloges that his
wire yelled at htm so long and so loud oue
night that half ot the people in the Arling-
ton hotol awoke and listened. They trav-
eled around California about two months,
aud at almost every hotol at whloh they
stopped Mr. Fisbor alleges his wife repeated
the occurrence. On May 1 this curious
honeymoon terminated, and they settled
down Id this city. Then their difficulties
began la earnest. Mr. Fisher charges that
the wife elreulated scandalous stories
about htm aud an lanooent woman living in
the houaehold, and even went so far as to
give such stones circulation through a
newspaper. One evening In November,
1885, Mr. Fisher states bis wife began "to
talk to him" and continued until 3 oclock
tho next morning, without stopping. At
that hour Mr. Fl.lier timidly ventU'ed to
talk buck, when she sprung from bod, he
says, and hit him in the luce severul times,
knocking him out in the first round, us he
confnsted. On May 20 last ho filed a bill
for dlvorcc and alleged the foregoing acts
of cruelty on her part. .Mrs. E'sher is
worth #150.000 In her own right, and both
parties in the suit are well known in De-
troit.
The Present Ood.
The same tempor ol mind that would
leavo God behind us in the past, would
persuade us ulso to banish llim to distant
space. He is not here, but there. Wo look
for Htm above, beneath, around ti«. In
majesty ne broods over the abyss; benignly
Ho gazes from the stars. Ho Is uuder the
ocean, in the desert, on tbo mountain top.
But how seldom we recognize that He Is
here. Our surroundings are vulgar, und to
associate God with the poor, common things
of life seems little less than profane. But
this was not Paul's view of the Divine. In
the tent-maker's workroom at Corinth,
where the canvas and the tools wore lying
as he entered upon his morning tusk, lo!
God was there! His bodily eyes khw ouly
the plain, common looking men who worked
with hi in, but a keener sight beheld the
spiritual presence of the divine Workman,
who was grout enough to fushlonthe world
and humble enough to toll, once, ut Jo-
seph's bench. The luiic 111 which tho apos-
tlo lived may well have seemed t io dingy
for anything heavenly to enter; but in hum-
ble lodgings Christ was an hourly guest,
lie loved Ills disciple, und would not leave
him comfortless. When I'nul passed down
Into the hold of tho Mumertiuo prison,
Christ passed down there loo. In persecut-
ing the follower the world lias always per-
secuted tho Master; for Ho cannot desert
ills own. To all believers in ull time lie
hus fulfilled this promise to the letter: "i
will never leave thee. 1 will never lot's ko
thee." We buve, hence, to puss, If we uro
His children, over no grout distuuee to Mud
Him. Wo say He Is at the center ol the
universo; and so lie is; and so Is every one
of His croutures. The center of tlio uni-
verse to you Is just whero you stand, and
at Hint center in God.—S. Giffard Nelson, In
tho November Amorlcuu Magazine.
November Clothing.
Proper clothing lor November includes
soft, firm woolen textures next the skin.
II some of the various varieties of health
wear cannot bo obtained, a good substitute
may lie found in vests nud punts made of
pure flannel. I.ooseness ol lit is essential;
for iu such pliable folds as these garments
aro forced Into by pressure of outer garb
body heat is entangled us in a net and re-
tained, while outside colli is burred en-
trance. My patients often say to me, "Doc-
tor,! cannot bear wool next my skin. It
causes Intolerable Itching and is uncom-
Ibrfaliio. "Very well," is tho answer, "but
try it. for just twenty-four hours longer,
and If you are still restless you may
change." Iuside the given timo cutaneous
nerves have become accustomed to the new-
comer, and have welcomed him ns a far
better friend than tiio one set aside; and in
a week tho most delicate patient would not
change back at all.
Besides additional warmth there Is an
electrical action aroused by friction of wool
against human skin tliut promotes capillary
circulation, keeps skin functions going and
largely contributes to general health In that
singular wuy which I have named for want
ot a better term, vitalizing power. For
electricity is close kin to life; how near no
one can tell.—Dr. Win. F. Hutchison, in
The American Magazine for November.

good a "whack" at It as any body. I mean
business, too. It's time lor all to mean
business, for tho "tax" !• gaining ground.
Wo are like the sow that was put up for
eating ohiokens. There was a crack in the
pen, and aha atood at tbe craek and gazed
at the ehlckena that paned. She had eaten
no corn in a week, but when the craok was
stopped, she went to eating and got fat.
Now, there are certain "cracks" with de-
celpttul tongues who point out tbe wuy to
us. And we, gump-like, depend upon their
dictations while tbo "light" gets larther
und further away. And the Exchange, the
printing house, cotton yards, etc., aro at
our heels, awaiting to satisfy our hunger.
1 think we hud better stop such "cracks."
