This can only bo done ly raising men of high integrity and Christian intelligence, who, like Mow en, have a heart for their country men, effectually to represent our people in the great law-making ceil tren ff.onr country. One of these effectual mi aus is to have a high graded system of true education in our country? so that the farmera and the pmi- ..ikien ,ne on nim! lmiis with thus.. , f . According to the CYiimis ft port one-third of the total population of he " y i ill cil iei of I.IMMI in halntM.i:, and over. "Where a cen ttny ago one person in every Ihirty thn e lived in a city, to day it is one in every three." What causes this proportional change from country to city ? The farms arc found also to he less desirable, many are in poor trim, and in ph'ces some farms are 1,, ! 1" i' ! scried, tlm market also in many places in the country is poor and limited to a few articles of sale. What accounts for all this? I would not try to mention all the factors that enter into this question, but this is a prominent one : The eiluca lii'iud impulse of the young folks of this country is immense and is not met. This is a fact too much overlooked. Iu many cases this impulse has not even taken a true educational form, it is a desire to advanco, to nhino iu society without knowing how ; and there may then not even be present a willingness to attend hchool, from the fact that they have not yet attained tho knowledge that u man can only truly shine by stand ing high morally and intiloctually ; hi uce from various impulses ther a moviii.' '! the country into li! - ClVic.i, nin ie these desires, however vague they may be, are better sup plied. Many then follow tho dift of associations. Some owe this moving spirit to la.iness, in if the work in the coun try is too hard and monotonous. Surely not enough educational fea tures are oft i'n present. No! I attributoit to high motives The sons of farmers are not lazy ; as a general thing they arc tho very contrary. Hut they see tho impari ty of advantages in the country to those of eii jes, and with a high aim in life they go there. Inns the country is deprived of some of her highest elements and vigor merely because there aro lack nig opporiunmcH oi true ana ex tended dcvclopements. How different would tho Hceno be if these deficiencies wero promptly supplied and tho country had eipial advantages to tho city ! Fathers' uud children's interests would then naturally be at homo where they bo loug, and would be highly tuned through tho impulse given and the glorious oppoi t unit ies afforded them. Tho city and country would meet on tho vay; thousands of villages or towns would exist where, perhaps, we know none; there would bo a cor responding market and demand of property and multitudes of other corresponding changes that we krow nothing of.

At even o'clock Monday evening thoro was nothing more suspicious at Mr, Snyder's than a large load of apples atnd several barrel of cider, yet a ha.f hour later tho populace of tho village were almost inextricably pack ed into his capacious kitchen. Fin ally, however, all were well seated. Old acquaintances beamed anew at tho revival of tho sport of their younger days, youthful eyes twinkl- ed with merriment and sweet cider ; w itty tongues replete with humorous sayings almost convulsed one with laughter, while bright knives, deftly handled by nimble lingers Hashed in tho candle-light as tho crisp apples eraelirled audibly ncaUi the touch of their keen blades. After tho apples had ull locu pared, quartered, and pronounced fit foi the butter kettle, the older folks took leave while tho youngsters remained and made tho open air of mid night ring with echoes of u.'ift itriicd pleasure.
