MSAYING FOR OLD AGE.-No one de-
MES that it is wise to make provisions
for old age, but we are not at all agreed
as to the kind of provision it is best to
lay in. Certainly we shall want O little
money, for destitute old man is in
deed sorry sight. Yes, save money
by all means. But an old man needs
just that particular kind of strength
which young men are more apt to
waste. Many foolish young fellow
will throw away on holiday certain
amount of nervous energy which he
will never feel the want of until he is
seventy and then how much he will
want it It is curious, but true, that
bottle of champagne at twenty will in
tensify the rheumatism at threescore.
1t is fact that everlasting the eyes at
fourteen may necessitate the aid of
spectacles at forty instead of eighty.
We advise our young readers to be
saving of health for their old age, for
the maxim holds good in regard to
health as to money" Waste not, want
not" 1t is the greatest mistake to
suppose that violation Of the laws of
health can escape its penalty. Nature
forgives no sin, no arror. She lets off
the offender for fifty Yeas sometimes,
but she catches him at last, and in
ficts the punishment just when, just
where, and just how he feels it most.
Save up for old age, but save knowl-
edge, save the recollection of good and
noble deeds and innocent pleasures
pure thoughts, save friends, save love.
Save rich stores of that kind of wealth
which time cannot dimish, nor death
take away.

Speaking Of youngsters, Cory O'Lanus
gives us.a few Interesting fragments re.
spectiug that interesting parcel of hu-
manity:
BoYs.-Some things may be said in
favor of boys; some traders would hardly
live without them. ii '...
The glass putin men woaldn't hayo
much to do. and putty would decline, if
there were no boys to break windows.
There would be no customers for cast.
iron peaches and green apples, which
came on early in the season, but for the
boys, and the doctors wouldn't havo so
much to do curing cases of cholera NOR
bus arising therefrom.
Boys can be made useful when they
have mind to, and can sell newspa-
.pers, black boots, hold horses, and do
chores.
In printing offices, boys are known as
devils; printers have plain way of speak
ing.
Boys individually are better than boys
collectively.
If there was only one boy in the world
I think he would be good boy. It gen
orally takes at least two boys to get up
any mischief.
Have one boy in a etore, and you can
make him useful. Hire second bow
and their time will be chiefly devoted to
chaseing one another over the counter.
and firing brush and directory at each
others heads.
A boy begins to be nuisance about
the time he is eight years old How soon
he grows out of it depends on circum-
stances. Some never dc

enjoyable existence. IL yhave O great
deal of fun at other peoples expense, but
they have most always got grievances.
They would like to have their way
little more, and q pretty way it would be-
too.
Giye q boy his choice. of an occupation
inlife, and the chances ore that he would
prefer to be Robinson Crusoe on des-
ert island, or captain of band of rob.
bers, such as he has read about, and Sc
rionsly thinks of going into one or the
other of these desirable occupations when
he gets to be man.
He has 9 great respect for the stage
driver, and the captain of canal boat

tions that quite takes his ideas

plenty OF money to spend, doing. what
you please, and being able to smoke or

Arkansas continues to bo in a terribly uns
settled condition. Governor Clayton has mat
ters all his own way, and has inauguratedsa
complete reign Of terror throughout the State.
Each recurring day brings o fresh tale Of out,
RACES committed by the rufianly militia. The
people are flying in all directions from the ter
rble inficton, and the universal terror which
prevails is said to be truly hearrending. The
cotton fields in many districts are totally de-
serted by the field hands, who have been Sc
duced or intimidated into the ranks of EN-
peror Cayton's ''grand army" Miles upon
miles of cotton remain unpicked in the fields
literally going to ruin, which, in New York to-
day, would bring twenty-seven and half cents
per pound. Memphis paper says that city
is crowded with refugees, and every man that
arrives can tell his particular tale of outrage
and murder and rapino and plumbers. This
man Clayton and his brutal mob must be
checked, or the Arkansas problem will be more
difficult of solution as the officia! career of tho
amiable Clayton is prolonged.
Philadelphia has another horror, the story
of which is as follows: "One James Dempsey,
with his family, rented the front rooms Of u
building also tenanted by Joseph Donohue.
These two men have for some time been bad
friends, quarrellng frequently, and indulging
in the use Of very opprobrious epithets. About
ten O'Clock on Thursday evening. Dempsey
won't up stairs, and on reaching the landing to
which the door of Donohue's apartments open
cd, he commenced calling the latter hard
names. After remaining some time Donohue
opened his door and sprang at Dempsey with
knife, which he dashed violently into the
back of his neck, and drew it around the throat
to the front, nearly severing the head from the
body. The murderer was soon after arrested
and taken to the staton-house. His hands
were covered clear to the wrist with the blood
of his victim, and the front of his brown WOOL
len shirt was also saturated. The knife, blade
and handle, was completely covered with gore,
showing with what tremendous force the blow
must have been struck. The walls in the entry
and the door are all spotted"
