LIBERAL EDUCATION. 
The time has been, 'when a liberal education 
was thought only necessary for professional 
men ; when the Clergyman, the Doctor, and the 
Lawyer, possessed nearly the monopoly of 
learning, and, as a necessary consequence, of 
intellectual pre-eminence, an over-balancing 
influence in all ranks of society. They held m 
their hands, by a sort of tripple alliance, the 
guardianship of men's minds, bodies and estates. 
That state of things exists no longer. While 
all men insist that the Professions should stilt 
maintain a high standard of intellect and 
morality, they maintain also the necessity of 
educating as thoroughly as possible, all ranks 
and classes of society. Hence we see municipal 
corporations founding and sustaining academies 
and high scho >ls, and seminaries of learning 
under corporate privileges springing up, and— 
what is better—well sustained in every con¬ 
siderable village and hamlet in the country. 
The Common School, instead of being the 
ultima thule, is now only the stepping stone to 
something higher ; all important, it is true, in 
its position, but the foundation only of the great 
educational structure. All ranks of society feel 
and acknowledge the necessity of high intel¬ 
lectual development, and labor to promote it. 
The agriculturist, the mechanic, the artisan, 
the merchant, recognize the value of mathemat-

REVENGE. 
The fearful hour arrives—the “ Son of Man,” 
The guileless Savior, is betrayed. 
The Judas kiss imprinted ; “ Master, hail!” 
In treachery spoken. Forsaken 
By the band whom Christian love should bind 
To Him in firm allegiance, now, 
When wordly friends desert, and when 
His soul is bowed in agony ! 
Alone. He bears the mockery— 
The royal robe to taunt his misery— 
The crown of thorns, to whisper Him 
Of perfect impotence. 
Upraised 
From earth, to shameful cross affixed, 
Saluted by the cruel jeers 
Of heartless men ! what bitter woe 
Would mortals deem a curse too sad 
To call in judgment on His foes ? 
Yet listen to the holy words 
Ascending to high heaven—“ Father, 
Forgive—they know not what they do.” 
Oh man, be taught! Thy Savior prays 
(In that lone hour of utter grief 
For those who caused His agony, 
And persecuted e’en to death,) 
That pardon may be given. 
Still, erring mortal, wilt thou dare 
Wreak vengeance on offending man c 
And cherish in toy heart of hearts 
That foul, aye, darkest, basest sin 
Of all the passions rankling there ? 
Dar’st breathe the “ hell-born word, Revenge t” 
Revenge on brother man, as pure 
As thou, who oft—how oft—hast proved 
A rebel to the power Most High, 
Rashly opposing God, who saith, 
“ Vengeance is mine—I will repau 
Till He avenge, forbear ; forgive, 
Bestowing good for evil deeds, 
That thou may’st with a conscience pure, 
And spirit free from enmity, 
Approach the throne with soul sincere, 
Raising to Heaven the prayer, 
Forgive, as I forgive. Eola.
