Bows, Rignts...By n Boy.

Boys Rignts...By Boy.
Talk about the women and the darkies
and the-the-all the rest of 'em none
of 'em all are half so badly used as the
boys are. l know lot, and can give
you all their names. Ask 'em all. They'll
tell you to be boy is to be somebody
without right in the world.
You'er to take all the sass that given
you, and give none back, cause you'er
boy. You are to pay full fare in the
cars and omnibusses, cause you'er boy
and not a child; and never have a seat
cause you'er boy and not man. Fat
lady gets in after it's all full, and looks
about her ; everybody looks at you. Old
gentleman says "My son." reprovingly.
Conductor says: 'cone, now, you boy"
You've paid your sixpence. No matter
that is nothing. You've been on your
legs with bundles all day. Who cares ?
-You'er boy. Now horse has such
a load given to him as he can carry, and
man won't any more than he can walk
under. Ask boys what grown folks
think they can carry. There's no limit
| to it.
Who doesn't know boy who does a
mans work, and does it we'll for tenth
of what man would get for it. Who
hesen't read an advertisement for boy
who "writes good hand, understands
accounts, is willing to make himself USE
full !; boards with his parents; is trust
worthy no objection to sitting up all
night; no impudence about him. The
best recommendations required, and two
dollars week wages"
Ask boys whether old folks don t
make as much fuss about such places, as
if they were doing you favor that
would set you up for life.
Who wants boy anywhere? Your
sisters don't in the parlor. Your father
don't, he always asks if you are not
wanted to do something somewhere.
You make your mothers head ache
whenever you come near her. Old ladies
snap at you. Young ladies "hate boys"
! Young men tease you and give it to you
! and you tease back. Other fellows-it's
because they are aggravated SO, I know
always want to fight if they don't
know you; and when you get BACKED
eye and torn jacket you hear of it at
home.
You look back and wonder if you ever
were that pretty little fellow in petit
coats that everybody stuffed with candy,
and wonder whether you'll be man, to
be liked by the girls and treated polite
ly by the other fellows, and paid for
your work, and allowed to do as you
choose. And you make up your mind
every day not to be boy any longer
than you can help it; and hear your
grandmother or somebody complaining
that there care no boys now," and won
der if she remembers the life they led,
that she don't, consider it subject of
rejoicing.

GA public outrage on religion and
decency" is what the New York Sun
calls the recent marriage of Mr. A. d.
Richardson. 1t says that Mrs. McFar-
land used to 60 out to lunch with Rich
ardson, much to her husbands displeas-
ure. The latter demonstrated, but his
entreaties were always drowned in
shower of tears. One morning she kissed
him as usual and begged that he would
return earlier than usual, assigning as
the reason of her request that she had
not had enough of his society of late
that she was lonely, and wished to see
more of him. In compliance with her
imprisoned wish, he did return earlier
than usual and found on his table note
from his wife, stating that she had left
him! The facts concerning the publ
cation of Richardson's card are fully set
forth, and also the details of the shoot
ing In view of all this, says the Sun
~ tConsider, married men of New York,
husbands and fathers, by what frail
and brittle tenure your homes are yours
If you fail in your business-and it is
said that ninety-five out of one hundred
business men at some time fail--then
the younger and handsomer face Of your
widowed neighbor may charm away
your wife; the laws of Indiana will
grant divorce to the fair truant, and
Henry Ward Beecher-with the Rev
DR.. Field, of the New York Evangelist,
standing at his right hand, and the Rev
0. B. rockingham to implore blessing
on the sin-stands ready to marry her
to the first libertine who will pay, not
in affection, but in gold or greenbacks,
the price Of her frail charms! IF it
be said that poverty was not the only
crime Of Mcfarland, then rest easy,
husbands and fathers, at least all Of you
who never, in any moment of trial and
vexation, have uttered one impatient or
petulant word! Yes, it is pious; the
popular, the admired, the revered Henry
Ward Beecher who comes boldly and
even proudly forward, holding by the
hand and leading Lust to her triumph
over Religion! Who can read the mar
ratiye, and not wish that Plymouth
Church were sunk into the ground un-
till the peak of its gable should be be-
meath the surface of the earth"
The article concludes with the state
ments that Mr.. rockingham may plead
| in his defence that he does not believe
in the Scriptures; but Mr.. Beecher,
who has been engaged for several years
past upon Life of Christ, should have
reminded him that our Saviour said -
II say unto you, that whosoever shall
put away his wife, saving for the cause
Of fornication, causeth her to commit
adultery; and whatsoever shall marry
her that is divorced committeth adult
cry"
