GOOD ADVICE TO BoYs.-The following
good advice to boys which we find in an ex-
change, is worth reading and digesting. How
many men would be improved in mind and
morals if they had so acted in their youthful
days:
The boy who spends an hour of each even
ing iounging idly on a street corner, wastes,
in course of single year, three hundred and
slxty-hve precious hours, which if applied to
study, would familiarize him with the rudi-
ments at least Of almost any of the familiar
sciences If, in addition to wasting an hour
each evening, he spends FIVE cents for cigar,
which is usually the case, the amount thus
worse than wasted, would pay for four of the
leading newspapers and four of the leading
magazines Of the country. Boys, think Of
these things. Think how much precious time
and good money you are wasting and for what
That qualification afforded by the lounge on
the corner or by the cigar, is not only tenn
porary, but positively hurtful. You cannot
indulge in these practices without seriously
injuring yourselves. You acquire idle and
wasteful habits, which will cling to you thro'
life, and grow upon you with each succeed
ing year. You may in after life shake them
off, but the probabilities are that the habits
thus formed in early life will remain with you
till your dying day. BE warned then in time,
and resolve that as the hour spent in idIeness
is gone forever, you will improve each passing
one, and thereby fit yourselves for usefulness
and happiness.

Advertising Tested.

An Atlanta paper, in the course Of an ar
ticle on the value Of advertising to, business
men, says:
A merchant in Macon, who had been sue
cesstul for years, concluded at the beginning
of one year that he would try the virtue of ad-
vertising. That year he spent eighteen hun
dred dollars with the printers, and his own
testimony is, that he did three times the amount
of business that he ever did before in the same
length Of time. He still keeps his name and
business prominent III the papers, and finds
his profits steadily increasing. Other mer-
chants Of Macon, witnessing the success of
this house, followed its example, and now the
Macon papers are among the best patronized
in the State, and the business men Of that ci-
ty are among the most substantial in the South.
We happen to be able to testify to the truth
Of this statement in every particular. For the
size OF the place, there is more advertising
done in Macon than in any other city of the
South, and hence her extraordinary prosperity
since the close Of the war. The name of near
ly every merchant and business man in the
city is to be found in her daily papers; not
occasionally and condensed into the smallest
possible space, as if the parties were afraid
somebody would find out where they are, but
regularly systematically and prominently, and
in many instances with an apparent disregard
to cost. They know what they are at and
60 into the papers and stay there because it
pays. The result is practically demonstrated
in the rapid growth Of business and accumu
latlon OF fortunes.

New Orleans, which has for SO many years
accustomed itself to consider the suit of Mrs.
Games sort of romance, is about discover
Ing it to be reality, and very serious one at
that. Mrs. Gaines holds the key Of the position,
she has passed the skirmish lines of the courts,
high and low, aud is now in an attitude
to demand an unconditional surrender. This
lady's claims, with interest forty-tour years,
cover real estate to the amount of more than
two and one half millions, which sum she can
recover from the present possessors or from
the city. The municipality is liable as war
rantor of all lands sold under the title before
1856; but it is claimed that the purchasers of
the Gaines property bought under cloudy
title. paying less than sound price and &C
cepting the risk. In this complicated state
Of affairs, Mrs. Gaines shows herself con.
siderate conqueror. She proposes to save
the city and all interested parties from ex-
pensive and tedious litigation by executing
her deed for the whole tract in question, re.
serving two squares, one for Sherself and the
other for an orphan asylum, if the city will
pay her 81 900 900. Considering that this
sum is nearly million less than she can just
ly claim, the proposition appears fair and gen
erous. The city attorney and the committee
of the council, however, seem 10th to accept
the situation; but can they do better p
crescent.

To-day and Tu.Morrow.

To-day We gather bright and beautiful
fowers-to-morrow they arc faded aud desd.
To-day wealth of leaves shade us--tc.
morrow, sere and fallen, they crumble beneath
our tread.
To-day the earth is covered with carpet
of green-to morrow it is brown with the
withered grass.
To-day the vigorous stalk only bends before
the gale-to-mnrrow, leafless and saplcss, a
child may break the brittle stem.
To-day the ripenng fruit and waving grain
Tomorrow ''the land is taking its rest after
the toll"
To-day VIC hear sweet songsters of mead
ows and forests, the buz and hum of myriad
insects-to morrow-brealhe softly-all na-
turc is hushcd and silent
To-day stately ediGce, complete in finish
and surroundings, attracts the passer-by-to
morrow heap Of ruins mark the site
To day there are cattle upon a thousand
hills-to morrow they fall ru slaughter
The fashion of the world passeth away
But let Christ dwell within us, and though
we may pass away like the faded leaf and
sapless stalk, we shall "arise to newncss OF
life"

As tighten your girth, do you nothing daunt
Do you catch the hint of our forming line?

As you move to the battles cloudy margs,
And to feel the swells Of your wakenlag heart
When our cavalry bugle sounds the charge.
At the scream of the shell and the roll of the drum
You feign to be frightened with skittish glance,
But up the green slopes where the bullets hum,
Coquettish, darling I've known you dance

Your eyes birds or loving girls;
And from a delicate fetlock to dainty head
throbbing vein cordage arousd you curls.
Oh, joy of my soul! if you they Stay,

WORRIED TO DEATH.-This is very COM
mon expression, with metaphorical meaning;
but many time, alas it is literally true
especially with the over sensitive-the too
high strung. But it is often an unnecessary
result, arising from idleness, giving time to
brood over triAes, or from the wicked and
weakininded habit Of getting into worry
about trihing things. once knew lady to
