Teach Your Boys to Work.

Idleness is the bane of society, and parent
of dissipation and crime. The idler is the
drone of the community, and a tax on the
charity of the industrious.
Every boy should learn some trade or oc-
cupation, in order that he may be enabled
to discharge the duties which he owes to So
ciety, in developing the resources of the
country, and in order that he may be enabled
to provide for the comfortable support and
sustenance of himself, and those who may
be dependent upon him.
Idleness has degrading and vicious in
fuence. When a boy comes to that age
that his labor would be useful, if he is seen
with cigar in his mouth, lounging about
drinking houses, and other resorts of idleness
and profigacy, the chances are against his
being any credit to himself, or his parents.
Labor is honorable. 1t is by manual la
Dor that the forests have receded, cultivated
fields, rich gardens and magnificent cities
have sprung up, as if by magic, maintaining
millions in comfort and god-like elevation of
mind, where few centuries ago, the strag-
Cling bands Of savages found scanty and
degrading supply. IL
There is much to be done yet. Much
land is lying waste-but little is brought up to
its highest capability. Houses are wanted for
our increasing population, and unimproved
water powers should be made available to
furnish that endless variety Of articles that
our citizens have to purchase elsewhere.
The labor of every young man is wanted,
and is due to his country. Ifthere is any
nobility here, it is the nobility Of labor, the
legitimate source of wealth and distinction.
If the speoulator gathers up his millions, it
is not the legitimate fruit Of his labor. but is
filched from the hard earnings of others, and
the curses of usury, avarice, fraud and OPP
preston, like blight and mildew are upon it.
and ere long it will be scattered to the winds.
We frequently see men who have CLEANED
competency by their own labor, bringing
up their sons in idleness, or fancying that
the SPOILED pet must adorn some learned
profession, hence we have plenty of doctors
without patients, lawyers without clients,
and preachers running before they are sent.
The encouragement of talent is always
praiseworthy, and it the interest Of the COM
munity to foster, it, but there should be no
one to force boys into the learned profess
sions (already largely overdone) without
unmistakeable signs of decided ability
When man who has never learned to work
is brought to the necessity Of earning his
living he is indeed a helpless creature-you
have seen some of them.
If Peter the great, thought it not beneath
him to learn the trade of ship-builder,
your sons may not be lessened in public esti
nation by working with their hands, and as
Franklin, the chandler and printer,
was called to stand before Kings, they have
a bright example before them.

A WAY TO SHARPEN EDGE TooLs.-"The
simplest method. of sharpening razor or
other cutting implement, says a German
scientific journal, is to putt for halfa hour
in water to which has been added one-twen-
tieths of its weight of muriatic or sulphuric
acid, then lightly wipe it off, and after few
hours set it on hone. The acid here sup
plies the place of milestone by corroding
the whole surface evenly, so that nothing
but smooth polish is necessary. The pro-
cess never Injuries good blades, while badly
hardened ones are generally improved by it.

How TO FATTEN Poor HoRsE.-Many
good horses devour large quantities of grain
and hay, and still continue thin and poor
The food eaten is not properly assimilated
If the usual feed has been unground grain
aud hay, nothing but change will effect
any desirable alteration in the appearance of
the animal. In case oil meal cannot be OBJ
tanned readily, mingle bushel of faxseod
with bushel of barley, one of oats, and an
other bushel of Indian corn. and let it be
ground into fine meal This will be fair
proportion for all his feed Or the meal of
barley, oats, and corn, in equal quantities,
may first be procured, and one-fourth part
Of oil cake mingled with it when the meal is
sprinkled on cut feed, Feed two or three
quarts of the mixture three times daily,
mingled with a peck Of cut hay and straw.
If the horse will eat that amount greedily,
let the quantity be gradually increased until
he will eat four or six quarts at every feed
ing, three times day. So long as the ami
NAL will eat this allowance, the quantity
may be increased little every day. But
avoid the practice of allowing horse to stand
at a rack well 6lledwith hay In order to
fattcn horse that has run down in flesh,
tho groom should be very particular to feed
the animal no more than he will eat up
clean and lick his manger for more.

ADVICE TO THE G1RLs.-Do not estimate
the worth of young man by his ability to
talk sweet nonsense, nor by the length of
his moustache.
Do not imagine that an extra ribbon, tied
about the neck, can remedy the defect Of a
soiled collar or an untidy dress.
If your hands are Drowned by labor do
not envy the lily fingers of miss Fuss and
Feathers, whose mother works in the kitcE-
en- while she lounges in the parlor.
If dandy, with cigar between his fin
gers, asks yeu if smoking is offensive to you,
tell him, emphatically, Eyes" The habit
should be, even though the odor may not.
DO not waste your tears on the imagin-
airy sorrows of Alonzo and Melissa, nor the
trials of the dime-novel heroines. Seek
rather to alleviate the woes Of the suffering
ones on earth. t
