TROUBLES OF SIAMEsE .TwINsHIp.
Chang belongs to the Good Tenn
plars, and is hard working and en-
thusiustic supporters of altemper-
ance reforms. But to his bitter
distress, every now and then Eng
gets drunk, and ofcourse that makes
Chang drunk too. This unfortunate
thing has been a great sorrow to
Chang, for it almost destroys.his fav-
orite field of effort. As sure as he
is to head great temperance pro-
cession, Eng ranges up alongside
OF him, prompt to the minute and
drunk as lord but yet no more
dismally and hopelessly drunk than
his brother, who has not tasted a
drop. And so the two begin to boot
and yell, and throw mud and bricks
at the Good Templars and, ofcourse,
they break up the procession. 1t
would be manifestly wrong to pun
ish Chang for what Eng does, and
therefore the Good Templars accept
the untoward situation, and suffer
in silence and sorrow. They have
officially and deliberately examined
into the matter, and find Chang
blameless. They have taken the
two brothers and filled Chang full
of warm water and sugar, and Eng
full of whisky, and in twenty-five
minutes it was not possible to tell
which was the drunkest.-M drk

Social Culture Among Boys.

1t is the great trouble among boys
when they get old enough to 90 into
company, that they don't know how
to behave when they get there. So
they sit sheepishly around on any
handy corner they can find. and
wish they were in their shirt sleev.
es, out "in the mowin' lot" or ain
the shop" or anywhere else than in
that "pesky parlor."
There is nothing to rub off this
rust but contact with society. The
only way to feel at home in the par
Tor is to be familiar with it. Here
mothers are often greatly at fault
The "best room" is kept shut end
i darkened, and the intruder who
strayed into it would be quickly
warmed out. Children who are &C.
customed to little gatherings at home
or at neighbours in holiday and
birth day times, seldom feel this
painful diffidence. 1t is natural for
youth to love such asssmblages, and
they are very essential part of
their education.
But if a young man finds himself
in this uncomfortable plight, he must
do the best he can to remedy the
neglect of his early social culture
lie muster up courage and plunge
into the best society he can gain ac-
cess to. If be is uniformly polite
and obliging, without any trouble
some officiousness, he will very soon
be favorite. After that, all will
be smooth sailing. He should not
think it too much trouble after a
days work to take thorough bath
and change his working clothes, and
then walk over to neighbours for
an hours social chat. This socla-
bility would tend to produce good
feeling in neighborhoods and would
elevate andimprove all parties. Add
to this an hours reading every day
of some profitable book, and you
will at the years end have attained
a much higher culture than your nei-
ghbor who spends his evening loung-
ing on the counter of the village
store, or sluggishly sitting down to
doze before the fire.

The Richest Boy in America.

The papers are telling about boy
in New England, now fourteen years
of age, who is supposed to be the
richest boy in the United States,
because he has great deal of mon
ey. To our mind the richest boy in
America is the one who is good
hearted, honest, INTELLIGENT, ambi-
tious, willing to do right. He is
the one who loves his mother, and
always has q kind word for her !;
who loves his sister or sisters, and
tries to help them, and regards them
with true affection. He is the boy
who does not call his father the cold
man." but who loves him, speaks
kindly to and of him, and tries to
help him az the.hsirs of old age gath
er fast upon his brow.
The richest boy is the one who
has pluck to fight his destiny and
future. He is the one who has the
manhood to do right and be honest,
aud is striving to be somebody who
