WHAT SHOULD PARENTS DO WITH
THEIR BOYS.

WHAT SHOULD PARENTS DO WITH
THEIR BOYS.
Many parents have sons, whom, when
they arrive at years OF discretion, that are
uncertain what to do with. For instance,
respectable mechanic has good, stout,
hearty, well disposed son, whom he visit.
es to bring up respectfully. If he is IN
easy circumstances, he some how other
seems 10 think that his son must be brought
up to some higher business than me-
chanic. He therefore concludes that he
must send him to college and make hlm
lawyer, a docter, or clergyman, and
the honest, well.meaning parent labors
hard to earn money to pay the expense Of
collegiate education for the purpose oil
making him respectable, 10 make hum take
/ higher rank in the world than that Of a
mechanic. Here is great mistake.
/ When a boy leaves college, what is he to
do He is then just qualified for nothing
4 He turns pedagogue a while. He beats
learning into the youthful progeny but
/ few, very few, think of pursuing the busl.
ness Of a schoolmaSter as a permanent
profession. After continuing II for year
or tYo, he quits it, and commences the
study of one of the learned professions.
I Bers are three or four years spent IN pre-.
pairing to become a professional man, and
at additional expense to his father. He
at last IS admitted to the bar, or receives
degree Of Nj. d., or is licensed to preach.
/ The next thing is to get a living by the
profession he has chosen, and this is not so
easy matter. A the learned professions
are full to overlooking, and there seems to
be no room Tor new beginners. The con.
sequence IS, that the young aspirant for
emnence drags along without getting bu-
siness enough to pay the rent for an Of
fee. Year after year he tolls, or would
toll, if be had any thing to do, without
making half enough topay his own expen-
ses. To be sure there are some whose
superior intellect and commanding talents
will enable them to rise at once TO eml.
hence and 10 command a business which
will render them independent but these
cases are few and far between.
When such do occur, the superiority OF
mental power will shine out beforehand,
aud should be lostered. But the propen'
slty which some mechanics have Of bring,

SELF MARRIAGE.--A couple had been
living together, as man ant wife, in Pail.
adelphia. for some time. The gentleman
perhaps becoming tired of the incum-
branee--relused to support his reputad
wife. She instituted a suit 10 obtain her
share Of his worldly substance. The de-
fence was, that they were not legally
married. 1t appeared that no clergyman,
or minister Of the law, olhciated at the
marriage ceremony; but that the parties
acknowledged themselves man and wlte
in the presence of witnesses. This, Judge
Sargent decided 10 be legal marriage,
and ordered the husband to give security
for the paymen; Oslo per week Tor The
support of bis wife. With this decision
the husband refused to comply, and was
imprisoned for contempt OF court, lie was
subsequently, brought before the court
backed by an extraordinary combination
Of legal talent, on an application for a dis.
charge. But all 10 no purpose, the Judge
was memorable. The decision is not new.
This Interpretation OF the law was eslab-
hshed in England many years ago, and
law providing for marriage in this form
was adopted ia South Carolina in 1909,
'in order that none might be Hindered in

A GOOD PLAN OF MAKING MANURE. "A
writer in the Southern Planter recon.
mends the following plan oil making ma
nure, Of which we highly approve:
"Have a pit thirty or farty feet square,
and Two or three feet deep, with a good
bank around It. In this PIT lei the male
rails, viz: oak leaves, pine tags, earth,
&c., be put in suitable layers; on which
throw all the slop-watsr, soap suds, yard
sweepings, as ley, contents Of chambers,
aud in short, every thing that can be con
veniently got together. 1t may be at any
convenient distance from the kitchen. 50
that the slop-wa:er, soap-suts, &c-, may
be conducted TO i; by trough Be sure
that no water gets into il IN any other
way. lf at any Time it should become
offensive, start your teams immediately
end cover il with sand or earth suihceni
to prevent the escape OF any ellluyia. -
We say we approve Of this plan OF MAX
ing manure but we think It might De
improved by sowing plaster over each
layer OF the materials Of which IT IS con.
posed, and occasionally, say at intervals
of two or three weeks, saving il over The

EFFECT OF WESTERN EMIGRATION

The prevailing disposition 20 seek for

to be undertaken, while rich virgin soil is

causes; but we fad we are mistaken. -
The following shows that she has exhibit

she so suffers, how much greater must be
| the injury in other States
| The Buffalo Commercial Advertiser in
forms US that the statement it made few
| days slnce, of there being over one hun
bred and fifty towns in the State Of New
York whose population is on the decrease,
IS not particularly applicable TO Western
! New York. There are a few towns 10
that part ofthe State whose population is on
the decline, but the number bears no com
pariSon to those that exist in the central
and eastern portion of the State. The
| Commercial adds:
"Otsego county had fewer inhabitants
in 1885 than IN 1880, and fewer sill in
ls40 than 1885. Washington county
contained a less population in 1910 than
in 1880. The evil IS just beginning to OPP

more is done to benefit the farming inter.

less according 10 their value per hundred
pounds than on wheat and -four. There
are few farmers in this State that make

stronger affinity for the ammonia, than
for the lime with which il was before

any other acid which may be obtained at
a cheaper rate, will act as well, as the
ammonia will combine with any &C d.
Either the applications OF gypsum, or the
acid solutions mentioned, will soon effect
such a future or combination, that little or
no smell can be perceived.
In regard TO the use Of salt, which bias
been 5y some recommended as a fixer OF
ammonia, Mr.. Hannah says--"My own
observation teaches me to prefer acid, to
any salt, as it is equally cheap, more east
