Yes, the woods are full of them, but they neither teach, preach, run a better business or publish pub-lish a better paper. They are like the lilies of the field, they toil not, neither do they spin.

A subscriber sent us this query recently: "What ails my hens? Every morning I find one or more of them keeled over to rise no more." Our reply was: "The fowls are dead. It is an old complaint, and nothing can be done except to bury them." The school at Clarion closes today with appropriate exercises. Charles H. Embley, the teacher in charge, states that a most excellent record has been made by the pupils, promotions promo-tions having been well merited in each Instance and some having mastered mas-tered a grade extra. Pleasing to note this encouraging report and everyone, we are sure, feel to congratulate the Clarion people for the interest they manifest toward the education of their children. The school, we understand, un-derstand, has been maintained by popular subscription a month longer than the general school fund would cover. Everybody knows that a man of small means pays more in proportion to his means than a wealthy man. And to suppose that a man who owns a two hundred dollar town lot which he can sell and leave any hour, feels any more interest in the town, or has any more right to speak for it or is any less likely to "leave in case he can make ten dollars by so doing" than another who has ten or twenty times that amount in chattels which belong to his home or his business, is simply rediculous if it is not more. We have seen men of small means who were so mainly because of a self-sacrificing public spirit, which prompted them to labor, and think, and pay out money for the public good, while the man who never gives a dollar or a day that is not wrung from him by law, for such purposes becomes wealthy, weal-thy, of course. Possibly the latter shows more wisdom. He certainly does, if to aecumlate wealth is the only end and aim of life worth living for.
