BoVhood in America.

throw down a remark or two on an uDoc-
cuped page, upon the character which boyhood
is taking on among us-or rather upon the new
and extraordinary relations which are rising in
this country between the young and the more
advanced in life.
1t is without precedent in all history!
There never was anything quite equal either
to the presumption of the young, or to the
meekness and acquiescence of the elders in this
matter. Men advanced beyond the middle age
of life are called "oId fogies" by their juniors
and as if this were not slang unfit for the very
street it is carried out into Congress, and grave
legislators accept the title, and handy it about
in their speeches as good jest. In society,
and especially in our cities, people are scarcely
married and settled in life, before they are res
garded as off ''the shady side" of the day and
are treated accordingly--and by whom! Why,
by boys and girls between the ages of seven
teen and twenty-oHe. / hear constant CON-
plants of this, and my reply is constantly the
same-"If there is not manly and womanly
sense and authority enough among you to re-
press and put down such folly you ought to suf-
fer" But this extraordinary Difference does
not stop here; it extends to noisy and imperti-
nent boysi in the streets, in public places, at the
railway stations, and wherever boys congre-
gate. The elders says, "Ths is free country
what right have we to the street, or the sta
ton, more than they? They may insult US if
we interfere-throw sticks or stones at Us
and what can we do?'
It's fact; this language is used, have often
heard it. With view to satisfy my curiosity
on this point, and perhaps to feel the public
pulse, have put the following question to half
a dozen gentlemen in one of our cities, and
we have uniformly received the same answer:
"If, as you are going down town, you should
approach dozen boys playing on the sidewalk,
and obstructing it, SO that you could not con-
veniently pass, which would you do-would
you say, 'boys, you must not gather here in this
way and occupy the walk, or would you get
down off from the sidewalk into the street, 20
round, and come on to the walk again, when
you had got by!'' And they all said, 1--WE should
90 round" Now if men choose to abdicate all
the rights, all the proper authority of manhood,
they can do so; but must say that know of
no greater, or more gratuitious, or more peri
lous mistake they could commit 10
Men can speak gently and firmly to boys,
and be listened to. But if not, if everything is
to yield and give way before the needless rush
of youthful impertnence, this will become, be-
fore many years, al intoferent country te live
in. . e. 14z"t r- p!
But the subject is too vast to be discussed
in a note. Our democratic Difference in some
directions is going great deal too far and we
have no time for many of our duties, and least
of all, for our domestic duties.-Rev. OrullLe
Dewey. ...

A Good Law.--The Boston Bee says that
the truant law appears to work quietly in that
city. One of the officers reports as the result
of his labors during the past two months, that
he had found one hundred and thirty truant
children, of whom all but twenty have been in.
duced to attend school regularly; sixty of whom
were habitual truants, seventy were absentees; !;
many of them had never been to school before
Six of the habtual truants have been sent to
the House of Reformation for six months; one
to the State Reform School for three years !;
seven taken in charge by the overseers of the
poor; three admitted to the Charity School in
Claiming st.. and four provided with good
places in the country.
