Look After the Bows.
From the Springfield Republican

1t is stated that majority Of those engag-
cd in the late bloody riots in New York have
been boys between the ages of twelve and
twenty. This is 4 sad fact and full of evil

names and more barbarous deeds, and have
no higher ambition than to tn. famous among
the outcast and abandoned classes as the
boldcst violators of law and order.
But the evil is not limited to New York.
In some degree the same thing is obvious in
all our cities and large towns There are
classes of boys. prcmaturcly wicked. prcma-

low resorts. forming noisy and dirty squads
at the street corners. and bcfouling the air
with obscenity and profanity. These BOYS
must inevitably come to a bad end. They
are fitting themselves to become enemies to
society and the vasabonds ard outcasts Of
civilization. Why don't somebody look after
them? Have they no parents, no friends,
who take enough interest in them to lead
them in better way? Alas. too many of them
are only following little earlier and lit
tie faster, it may be-in the path their faith
ers have trod before them. But some of
them belong to respectable families, and have
careful mothers and exemplary fathers at
home. These fathers and mothers do not
know the associations of their sons, and how
rapidly they arc laying the foundation of a
vicious career. The boys conceal their pre-
cocious wickedncss at home, and some dav,
when it ripens into overt and disgraceful
crime, it will startle those unsuspecting parents

holding by tie right hand a son, sixteen years
old, mad with love for the sea- And, as she
stood by the garden gate a sunny morning,

occan-that the great temptation of the sea

quit your mothers hand, that You will never
drink"

Young ladies commit great errors b, assu-
ming an ostentatious manner or a coldness
of feeling to those whose particular attentions
they do not care to receive, and often feel
insulted at polite offer of assistance, or civ
il recognition in the street or elsewhere. which
clearly shows lack of good-brecling, and in
stantly deprives them of the respect and cs-
teen of others and it is sowith Boys, as they
have opportunity. Young people are apt to
think great deal of each others "green y
ness, and judge of what they call "smartness :"
by standard peculiarly their own, ex-
cessively partial, unjust, and exclusive of all
recognition of good qualities, and do not hes
itate to make public their judgment; this on
ly proves such to be superficial observers and
