CORY OLANUs ON BoYs.-Some things
may he said in favor of boys; some trades woull
not live without them. The glass -put-in-mcn
wouldn't have much to do, and putty would be
on the decline, il there were no boys to break
the windows
There would be no customers for the cast IRON
peaches and green apples which come early in
the season; but for the boys, the doctors
wouldn't have 50 much to do in curing cases
Of cholera morbus arising thcrcirom.
Boys can be u,etul when they have mind
to, and can sell newspapers, black boots, h, i'll
horses, and do chores.
Boys individually are better than boys col
lcctivcIy.
If there were only one boy in the world,
! think he would be Il good boy; it generally
! takes at least two boys to ret up any mischief
Have one boy in Il store and You can have him
useful.
Hire a second boy, and their time will ho
chiefly devoted to chasing one another over the
counter, and firing the dust brush and directory
at each others head.
y boy begins to be nuisance when he is eight
years old. How soon he grows out of it depends
ON circumstances Some never do.
1t is questionable whether boys lead an en-
Iioyablc existence They take great deal of
fun at other peoples expense. hnt they have
most always got grievances. They would like
: to have their own way a little mOre and a pret-
ty way it would be.
Give boy choice of all occupations in life,
and the chances are that he would prefer either
to be a Robinson CruSoe on desert island, or
captain of band Of robbers such as he lad
read about, and seriously thinks Of going into
one or the other Of these desirable occupations
when he gets to be a man. He has great
respect for stage driver and the captain Of a
canal boat-thcre is an idea Of command in
these 1nsitionS that takes his IDEAS His idea
of being man is, having, plenty of money,
doing what you please, and being able to smoke
or chew tobacco without getting sick over it.
Somebody wrote a song, Would7I were a
3 boy again" Those who had the bringing up
of him are not likely to have the same senti-
mcnt. Raising a boy once is as much as any
body wants to cndergo, and fortunately, when
they once grow up they stay grove up, and
have children Of their own to at1ct them.

SYSTEMATIC FARMING.

General Capron the U. S. Agricul-
tural Commissioner in his report, says
that hitherto this country has been
characterized by random farming, for
immediate results, with no reference to
future advantages, and no persistent
following of any prescribed course but
there are evidence that more stable
views and more systematic practices are
beginning to prevail. In the central
settlements Of the West, farm animals,
the basis of systematic farming, are held
in higher esteem than formerly, and a
preparation at least is made for some
simple rotation of crops. More stability
exists, under adversely, as to the case OF
wool.growers, many of whom, far-seeing
! and wise, are confident of future profit
in the midst of present encouragement.
There is q disposition in the South to
producs their own bread and meat, and
hold their cotton as a surplus, bearing
better price when the quantity does
not suffice 10 glut the market. These
and many other signs of thoushtfulness
and growing wisdom are apparent.
The Commissioner also speaks APP
provingly Of the industr ial colleges now
springing into being throughout the
Northern and Western States, which,
he says, though various in character
and aims, and at present in the weak
ness and inefficiency of their infancy,
are destined to be powerful co-adjutors
in the legitimate work of this depart.
