How TO bring up q Son.

largest liberty, so fascinating TO the
imagination Of "Y oung America"
8. Allow him the free use Of mon
ey. without any restraining sense oi
responsibility TO parent or guardian
4. Suffer him to wander where he
pleases on the Sabbath. and to spend
his evenings away from home.
8. Give him free access to wicked
companions. who make mock Of all
that is good, and contemn all auhor.
ity.
6. Furnish him with no high aim in
life, and no steady employment. l,

Scott as one the great captains Of the
age. and l listened with great interest

mittcd great blunder in delaying the
attack upon Sebastapol as long as they
did; that Immediately after raising the
siege Of Silistria, they should have
attacked Sebastopol, at which time
there was n comparatively small force
In the Crimea; that the allies cannot
take Sebastopol unless they receive
rcinforcements, giving them a superior
ity Of force to the extent OF from
thirty to fifty per cent; that the Rus

in the world for defense; they never fly
but perish, unless ordered to retreat
lie thinks the allies labor under agre
disadvantage In having two com
manding generals; that the road ts
victory Is through uuityof design
The einfercnce ! would draw from Gen

will not be taken. for ! doubt wheth
