AGAINST BOYS.

The Boy is dreadful animal, under
whatever aspects we regard him, and in
whatever social rank, from the aristo-
cratic youth at his private tutors
down to the gamin at the corners
OF the streets. Politicians may talk
Of the dangerous classes" but
there is no class existing so opposed to
order as the Boys; so terrible to the
aged, so indifferent to the fair sex, so
pltlless to themselves. No nation, how
ever civilized, can hope to forget what
were its own primeval wicked habits, so
long as it possesses Boys. In them we
see continually reproduced a picture Of
savage humanity. The same love Of
cruelty for its own sake, the same taste
for petty theft the same Indifference
to knowledge, are as observable in a
fashionable public school as in tribe
of painted Ojibbeways. The latter,
however, possesses hospitality, whereas
company Of we'll born British youths
are accustomed to welcome a newcomer
with falsehood, and torture, and sour
rillous jests about his family from whom
he has Just parted with tears.
1t is the paradoxical fashion of these
days to praise the boys. This partly
arises from fear for they are getting
worse than ever),f and partly from the
author of Tom Brown, who has become
''devil's advocate" to them, just as Mr..
Froude has done to Henry VIII, and
previous historian to Richard Ill. ANY
idea Of appeasing the boy element is,
however quite ridiculous the animal is
implacable, and, like a horse that per-
ceiyes his master, is afraid of him, be-
comes unmanagable if petted. As for
authors they may write what they like
of an extinct genius, and we must take
it for granted; ; but when they compose
eulogistic works upon Boys. even the
humblest reader (having been boy
himself once) must bepermitted to have
his own opinion upon the subject.
Boys have no Wit and no humor. If
they DO find one Of their number pos
sessed of either, they call him ''faceti-
Gus" and lick him. They hate poetry
and if they discover a bard among
them, they treat him like WITCH
They have grim delight in practical
joking, the principal point of which is
to infiet pain. They are affirmed by
their admirers to be courageous and
high-spirited, but l have generally OBJ
served that they prefer to engage in
single combat with individuals under
their own size. They do not bully boys
of the form above them. 1t is the ush-
ers-for the most part poor and friend
ly persons-who are the objects of their
mischievous tricks, and not the head
master. The robust boy is a hero
among them, but they oppress the del
icate and the weakling, exactly as some

The Old Homestead.
81 ALICE CAREy.

When ar-t the skies grow warm and bright,
And aush with gold the hours.
And in her pale, faint robes, the spring
Is calling up the flowers:
When children, with unslippered feet,
Go forth with hearts of glee
To the straight and even farrows
Where the golden corn must be,
What beautiful embodiment
Of ease, devoid of pride,
Is the good old fashioned homestead,
With doors still open wide
But when the happiest time is come
That to the year belongs,
OF uplands bright with harvest gold,
And meadows full of song;
When fields Of yet unripened corn,
And daily garuered stores,
Remind the thrifty husbandman
OF ample threshing floors
How pleasant, from the din and dust
OF the thoroughfare aloof,
Seems the old fashioned homestead.
With steep and mossy roof.
When home the woodman plods, with axe
Upon his shoulder swung,
And in the knotted apple tree
Are scythes and sickle hang;
When light the swallows twitter
Meath the rafters of the shed.
And the table On the iyied porch
With decent care IS spread
Then hearts are lighter and freer
Than heat in the populous town,
In the old fashioned homestead.
With gables sharp and brown.
When the flowers Of summer perish,
In the cold and bitter rain,
And little birds with weary wings
Have gone across the man;
When curls the blle smoke upward
Toward the biuer sky,
And cold, along the naked hills,
And white the snow drifts lie
In legends OF love and glory
They forget the cloud and storm,
In the old fashioned homestead,
With hearthstoue large and warm.

A Persian Story.


A rufiing young fellow married the
wealthy widow of a great Khan. On
the welding night she determined to
assert her authority ever him. So she
treated him with great contempt when
she came into the ante-room, and sat
luxuriouSly imbeddej in rose leaf cush-
ions, earressing large white cat, Of
which she pretended to be dotingly fond.
She appered to be annoyed by her hus-
bands entrance, and looked at him out
of the corners of her eyes with glance
Of cold disdain.
Il dislike cats" remarked the young
soldier blandly, as he was making a
mere casual observation; "they offend
my sight"
If his wife had looked at him With
cold disdain before, her eyes now wore
an expression of anger and contempt,
such as no words can express. She did
not even deign to answer him, but took
the cat TO her bosom and fondled it pas
sionately. Her whole heart seemed to
be in the cat. and cold was the shoulder
she turned on her husband. Bitter was
the sneer upon her beautiful lips.
"When one ofends me-" continued
her gallant gaily, Il cut of his head.
1t is popularity Of mine which | am
sure will only make me dearer to you"
Then, drawing his sword, he took the
cat gently but firmly from her arms,
cut off his head, wiped the blade,
sheathed it, and sat down, continuing to
talk affectionately to his wife, as if no.
thing had occurred. After which, says
tradition, she became the best and most
submissive wife in the world.
A henpecked fellow meeting him next
day, as he rode with gallant train
through the market place, began to con-
dole with him.
"Ah!" said the henpecked, with deep
feeling, ''you, too, have taken a wife
and got tyrant. You had better have
remained poor soldier that you were, /
pity you from nv very heart.n
mot so,'' replied the rufiler, iolily;
"keep your sighs to cool yourself next
summer" He then related the events
of his wedding night, with the sati>fac-
tory results.
The henpecked man listened attent-
lively, and pondered long. Il also have
a sword," said he, "though it is rusty,
and my wife is fond of cats. viii cut
off the h ad of my wife's favorite at
once" He did so. and received a sound
beating. His wife, moreover, made
him 60 down on his knees and tell her
what gain, or evil spirit had prompted
him to commit the bloody deed.
Fool - said the lady with vixen
ish smile, when she had possessed her
self Of the henpecked's secret, "you
should have done it the first night.
Moral. Advice is useless to fools.

ARAB HORSE TRAINING -Immedia-
tely after an Arab foal is born, it is
made to swallow TWO Or three eggs, and
have its hoofs rubbed with salt and
desert herb to harden them. Seven
days afterwards the mother is made to
swallow a pound or pound and half
of rancid butter, not salted The foal
is not allowed to suck for more than six
months then it has camel's, cows, or
ewes milk, which are supposed to soften
the coat, and it also lives in the tent as
a family pet, played, with and fed with
bread, -four milk and dates, by the
women and children. Thus it becomes
attached as warmly as a dog to those
Of its own household. "Of camel's
milk" says the Emir, " it has the par
tlcular power Of imparting speed, so
that a man, if he takes nothing else
for sufficient time, will vie in swiftness
with the camels themselves. Itstrength-
ems the brain and the tendons, and does
away with fat" in Summer, the horses
are not watered till three in the after
noon, or two hours later than in Winter
the time for drinking being chosen
when the water IS least chilled. The
proverb of the desert Is: 6 In the hct
season put back the hour Of the water
ing place, and put forward that Of the
nose-bag. In the cold season put for
ward the hour of the watering place,
and put back that of nose-bag." Among
the desert tribes, for forty days count
ing from August, and for forty days at
the end of December and beginning Of
January, the horses are only watered
every other day. Food is seldom given
in the morning. The horse marches
on the food Of the preceding evening,
not on that Of the same day.-.M the
