is the rankest kind of rot and is liable

a wad of copy that was positively

down and wont to sleop. In tho
meantime, Old Zoke, tho hairy scout,
who was on tho trail, sneaked up just

Dir. Talmage's Oeiastial Dream-
ROno night,. lyineon my lounge when
very tired, my children all around me
in fall romp and hilarity and laughter,
-half awake and half asleep. I dreamed
this dream: 1 was in a far country,
It was not Persia, although, more tban
oriental luxuries crowned the cities.
It was not tne tropics,-allbougb more
than tropical fmitfalnees filled the
gardens. It was not Italy, although
more than Italian .softness filled the
air. And I wandered around lookiug
for thorns and nettles, but I found that
none of them grew there, and I saw
the sun rise and I watched to see it set
but it set not. And I saw people in
holiday attire, and I said: "When
will they put off this and pat on work-
men's garb, and again delve in the
mine, or swelter at the forge?'' but
they never put off the holiday attire,
And I wandered in the suburbs of
the oily to find the plaoe where the
dead sleep, and I looked all along the
line of beautiful hills, the plaoe where
the dead might most blissfully sleep,
and I saw towers aod oastles, bat not
a mausoleum, or a monument.or a white
slab was to be seen. And I wont into
the chapel of the great tower, aud I
aid: "Where do the poor worship?
and where are the bonohes on which
they sit?" and the answer was made me,
"We nave no poor in this oonntry.
And then I wandered out to find the
hovels of the destitute, and I found
-mansions of amber and ivory and gold
bat not a tear oould I see, not a sigh
coma i near, and 1 was oewiiderod aid
I tat down under tbe branches of
great tree, aod I said, Where am If
and whence comes all tbis soeneT And
then oat from among the leaves aud
op tbe flowery paths and across
tne bright streams there came a beauti
ful group tbrongmg all about me, and
as 1 saw them come I thought I knew
their step, and as they shouted, I
thought I knew their voices, but th'ey
, were so gloriously arrayed In apparel,
Suob as I had never before witnessed,
that I bowed as stranger to stranger.
But when again they clapped their
bands and shouted "Welcome, w ol
eoma!" tho mystery all vanished, and
I found that time had gone and eternity
bad oome, and wo were all together
again in our new home in heaven.
And i looked around and I said,
"Are we all here?" and the voices of
many generations responded, "All
herel" And while tears of gladness
wero raining down our cheecks, and
tu3 branches of tho Lebanon cedars
were clapping their hands, and tho
towers of tho great oity wero chiming
their weloome, we all together began
to leap and shout and sing: "Home,
home, home, home." T. De Witt

Journal.
A few Facts About Water And Wells.
Tho amount of the rainfall that is
earned out to soa by tbo rivers has
been estimated to be about ono-fourth
of the whole amount that falls on the
earth's surfooe. Of the other three
fourths a large portion is evaporated, or
sinks into tho ground as subterranean
water, A well is simply below where
tho ground is saturated with water.
Tbo upper surface of this ground water
Kes at very different depths in different
soils and at different seasons of the
year. Very much doponds on whether
the soil is porous or the dlstanoe of the
ground water from tbo surface of the
earth. Where rains are frequent and
abundant, the ground water rises and
ho wells are full. In periods of drought
gbt many wells deoome dry because
tbo ground water has settled below its
normal level. Manifestly, those lands
are bast adapted to general agrioulturo
where tbe groucd water does not stand
so noar the turaoe of thd'soil as to un
fit for ordinary cultivation, or so far
below that the moisture rising by cap
illarity in times of drought is scanty
and insIgnlfioanU Artesian water is
found far below tbo ordinary water
table. '

SALARIES.
The annual renort of tho Into saner
intendent of Public Imtrnollon, Pro
fessor K. E. Hlcboc, which was sub-
aiittod to tuo Governor on December
4, has been mado public. It is very
briof as compared with previous re
ports, made so, a Dr. Higbeo explain
od, because tho Legislature will not be
in session, aou tbero is no neea to
mako suKKestlons for legislation. In
Ills report Superintendent Iligboe
says
the; rnESEKT numder or schools.
"Tbo schools now number 21,889,

"The inoroase in number of pupils is
13,176, differing little from the in
crease pf tho previous year.
"to meet this iuoreaio ot pupils wo
have, as lust staled, 617 additional
schools. This shows a tendenoy to
wards better sohool accommodations.
for it gives to each additional sohool

slightly boyond forty-three. Tbe
average, however, is far too high and
thero mast bo many crowded schools
in tho Stato, but it is enoouraging .to
know that tbe movomont is in tlio
right direotion.
1,'Thore has been a very largo in
crease in the number of graded schools
during the year, viz: StG.
"The whole number ot gradod
schools is now 10,117, noarly one-halt
of 1 all our schools. Tbis rapid inoroa
se of graded schools domands most
careful watchfulness upon tbo part ol
superintendents aud teachers. Whllo
wo havo tho great gain derived from
suph division of labor as tho graded
sohool secures we must seek to avoid
the serious dangers involved.
rllOMOTlON NOT THE OBJECT.
"Teachers confined to ono Hue of
studies ar.d those that are suited Only
to a certain ago aro apt to take into
view only tQe small seotion of a cbil'l s
life belonging to that ago, and this
weakens the great incentive to work,
which oomes from the dear vision of
the end of education in the bduinning,
The end is not the examination for
promotion to another grade. The
Koltd culture of tho ohild toward s
well furnished personality, a develop.
ed, intelligent life of thought aud act,
must be the main aim of all teaobing :
aud tins should not bo broken to upon
by any interruption 01 artificial
grades. Hence, great caution is re
quired in graded schools, lest, through
anxiety to promote from grade to
grade, the child be httcd more lor ox
amination than for. life.
TKACIIERS' SALARIES VERY SMALL.
"The inerease in the salary of toaoh
I era, has been very small. Now tbat
the, amount appropriated by tbe State
I is two millions dooblo what it was
four years ago it is to be honed that
the, average salary of teachers will be
greatly.enlarir.ed.. It is now for male
teachers only $39 per month and for
femalo .teachers only a little over ssau.
This want of proner remuneration
injuring the statas of out schools. It
is retarding 1110 wuuie euuuauuuui
work, of the State, aud every exertion
should be made, to remedy tbis ueteot.
Direct legislation can effect but little,
Publio sentiment must be aroused,
Directors and parents must realize tbe
vast tmpoitanoe of oar sobools and the
great responsibility of our teaohers,
aod refuse to make, them nothing more
tban the employment of the cheapest
oandidates in the market.
"Our superintendents also must
make tbe provisional certificates fewer
land fewer, demanding high grades
and insisting on more thorough exami
nations, uy conoorted action the way
may be opened for a better condition
of affairs as regards salaries and tenure
of office. While thankful for the legis
lation seoured in behalf'of the schools,
we regret very much that the bill for a
closer supervision of our sohoois in
rural districts failed of passage.
CLOSER SUPERVISION NECESSARY.
"Closer supervision is so necessary
that it must soon come, Thp need of
I it beoomes more apparent every day,
and very many direotors are only
waiting for authority to organize the
work; There aro many advances yet
I to be made botore tbe tnll omcienoy ot

be secured, to which we shall have oc-
I oasion to refer hereafter.
Tho report closes with the thanks of
the Superintendent to his co-workers
in tbe cause ot education.

It has been soma time sinoo I last

This has boon nn eventful year.
Noarly over paper wo road chroni
cles disaster, want, or mis fortune in
somo way or plaoe. Tho moBt com

tive has boon that caused by tho great
amount of rain during tho year. Wo
havo had a very wet seaion hero.
Uur corn orop was considerably
damaged. Wheal crops wero good,
but somdwhat damaged belorj it
conld be threshod. Hundreds of tons
of, bay wero mined whilo trying to cnl
it. Fruit was iMpdrfeot and rotted
badly on account Of tho continued wet
we&tber. Sweet potatoes were a good
crop, Irish potatoes fair.
The farmer has bad a hard timo try-
ying to rals 1 good crops with but litilo
recompense for bis labor, yet wo aro
thankful that it is as well as it is. Wo
havn not been visited bv nnv tornados
or destrootivo floods and no livos have
been lost '-inland" from suoh cause,
although there was considerable loss
of lifo and property along tho Atlantic
(Joast at .Lowes and other points not
over thirty miles from here.
December has boen tho nlcost month
of the year, slightly oold in the begin
ning with but little rain. Tho last
week has been ono of delightful sun
shine, mild as spring. Our roads aro in
excellent condition. 1 drovo twenty
fivo miles this afternoon and did not
find ono mile of the distance that my
horse could not keep up a brisk trot.
Havo had no freezinS for the past
ten days and tho roids aro becoming
dusty in many places.
Wo are glad to se this fine weath
er but would profer it ooldor as thero
is dauger of tho peach bads enlarging
so as to be oaught by the oolder
weather if it comes, and if Devon's
predictions, are correct wo may expect
to oatch it after awhile.
Tho protpeut for fruit anothor year
is very good if tho winter is not too
-levere: trees havo ma le a lino growth
of new wood and the crop boing light
lat year gires th-m a doublu advan
tage for the next. We havo 2,000
thai wo planted since we oimo hero
that boro some very nuo poaches tbis
year, and as thny are now four years
old and capable ot bearing a fair crop
we are anxious to bavo a good fruit
year, "Strange, isn't ii."
We were tuuoh pleased a couple of
weeks ago in have our old' friends
Samuel and J. Hervey Hartzel, of
Light Stroa oall on us' they spent ovor
a week with lnen is here nnd in tho
time rented a farm for a voir. They
expeot to make Delaware their future
home, and in the year's time will havn
an opp irtunity to buy a farm to suit
them. There are a number of fine farm
that can bs bought, and they aro wise
in laving in the shade a littlo while
for them.
Our town is rapidly b'lilding up; six
fine dwelling houses have been erected
this summer and tho P' W, & B. R, It.
have bn It a handsome new depot
wbioh Is an ornament to the town.
All our Penua. friend-i here are well
as far as I know, and aro apparently
well content. Not withstanding their
arons not.havincr boen what thev desir
ed, they seem cheerful and are 10 kiug
forward to the future tor better things
there his been bat littlo siokness dur

any kind.
If this fine wea'hur coitinuesa while
