BOY SMOKERS.

Here and there about the street cor
ners and around the doors of amuse-
ment you will see lot of urchins, some
of them decentiy clad and presenting a
respectable appearance, who are engag-
ed in asserting their manhood by puff
ing away at exeerable cigars. 1t is fair
to presume that their anxious mamas
are not aware of the foul habits their
darling boys pick up and practice out
side of the parental roof; but for their
benefit they should know that it is sta
ted that French physician has investi-
gated the effect of smoking on thirty
eight boys, between the ages of nine
and fifteen, and were addicted to the
habit Twenty-seven presentpd dis
tinct symptoms of nicotine poison. In
twenty-five there were serious disor-
ders of the circulation, Indigestion,
dizziness of intellect and marked APP
petite for strong drinks. In three there
was heart affection in eight decided de-
terioration of the blood in twelve
there was frequent epiloxis; ten had
disturbed sleep and four had liberation
of the mucous membrane of the month.
1t is easy, then, to see how the ranks OF
the drunkards and dissolute men ''about
town. are recruited, when there are so
many boys in training for deliriun tre-
mems and all the horrors of dissipation.

HOW TO PROCURE SLEEP.

Many years ago curious plan for
procuring sleep was announced as a
great discovery, by Mr.. Gardner. AS
this plan made some noise at the time,
and was reported to have seldom or
never failed, we shall give a full de-
scription of it. Testimonials of the
efficacy of this method were published
by Mr.. Gardner, from His Royal High
ness, the late Prince Albert, Sir F.
Buxton, Bart, Sir W. Cockburn, Mr..
Sheridan Knowles, and other men of
eminence. 1t may be, then, that some
of our readers may owe us deep debt
of gratitude for once more placing the
priceless blessing of sleep within their
reach upon easy terms.
Let US suppose, then, person to be
in a particularly wakeful state, and that
he has tossed and tumbled about in the
small hours of the morning without any
feeling of somnolence. If he should
now desire deep repose, the following
proceeding must be adopted:
sleep, he will at last fall into a state of
pleasant repose.
He is to lie on his right side, with his
head com fortably placed on a pillow,
having the neck straight, so that respi-
ration may be unimpeded. LIE: him
then close his lips slightly and take
rather full respiration, breathing through
the nostrils as much as possible. This
last, however, is not absolutely neces-
sary, and some persons breathe habit
ually by the mouth. Having taken the
full respiration, the lungs are to be left
to their own action, that is, respiration
is not to be interfered with. Attention
must be fixed upon the respiration. The
person must imagine that he sees the
breath passing through his nostrils in
q Mt
that he brings his mind to conceive this.
apart from all other ideas, consciousness
leaves him, and he falls asleep.
Sometimes it happens that the method
does not at once succeed. 1t should he
persevered in Let the person take in
thirty or forty full respirations and pro-
coed as before, but he must by no means
attempt to count the respiratory acts, for
if he does, the mere counting will keep
him awake. Even though he may not
now succeed in procuring very sound
Such is the account, abridged, of this
much Wanted cart of procuring sound
and refreshing sleep at WILL" given by
Mr.. Binns, in his ANATOMY of Sleep"
He, it seems, purchased the secret from
Mr.. Gardner, and hints at his generosity
in having made it public gratis. 1t is
founded on the principle that monotony,
or the influence on the mind of a single
idea, as we have already shown, induces
slumber. The inventor had for years
suffered great agony with consequent
sleeplessness, from an injury of his
spine. In this sad condition, opium and
other sedatives were found to in
crease rather than to allay the suffer-
ings. He was a contemplative man, and
at length discovered the secret of "sub-
DUNG sleeplessness and commanding
repose by simple effort of volition."
The plan is at all events safe and easy
of application, and any wakeful reader
can test it for himself-JOhn Il. F7em-
ming.

WHAT SHALL WE DO WITH BOYS.

What shall parents do who live in
towns and cities? What shall profess
sional men do whose children cannot
participate in their parents work?
Instead of Keeping them anxiously
within doors, thrust them out as much
as possible. Do not let watching be-
come spying. Let children have sports
and companions, and unmatched liberty.
Put them upon their honor. BOYS will
early respond to this. Do not make too
much of their mistakes and faults.
How can one be child and not be full
of faults! Explain their mistakes gen.
tly. Be patienti Wait for them. Chill
dren must have time to grow. Some
body had TO wait for you. Never let
fear make gulf between the child and
you. Within due bounds, liberty is the
best thing for the child, as it is for the
man. 1t will lead to Irregularities, but
out of these will come experience, and
gradually self-control. The object of
all family government is to teach child
rem to get along without being govern
ed. They must be trusted even if they
abuse it, they must be trusted. Keep
them busy with pleasant work if posi-
BILE. Awaken in them curiosity about
the things which lie about them. A
very little instruction will make child
rem curious of plants, minerals, natural
history, of literary curiosities, auto
graphs, postage-stamp collections, and
q thousand things which will inspire
pleasure in their reason rather than in
their appetites.
Never scold children, but soberly and
quietly reprove. Do not employ shame
except in extreme cases. The suffering
is acute. 1t hurts self-respect in a child
to reprove it before the family to ridi-
cule it, to tread down its feelings ruth
Iessly, is to awake in its bosom malig-
nant feelings. A child is defenceless lit
is not allowed to argue. He is often
tried, condemned and executed in sec
ond. He finds himself Of little use.
He is put at things he don't care for,
and withheld from things he does like !;
he Is made the convenience of grown
up people, is hardly supposed to have
any rights, except in a corner, as it
were is sent hither and thither, made
to get up or sit down for every's conve-
nience but his own, is snubbed and cat
echised until he learns to dodge govern
ment and elude authority, and then be
whipped for being "such lying whelp
that no one can believe you"
Well, well; girls may have the hard
est time of it in after-life, but for the
first fifteen years boys are the sufferers.

THE EMPRESS EUGENIE.s DIAMONDS

The Empress has never danced since
the death of her sister, the Dutchess
of Alba, prepared for her, where she re-
mains but she appears in the ball room
on dias surrounded by her ladies and
it is at such times that few foreigners
of rank and other distinguished per-
sons are presented to her by the Lord
Chamberlain. The dresses which ap-
pear on this dias are truly the ne plus
ultra of elegance and costliness. Who
could count the number of millions of
diamonds and other precious stones col
lected in that small space? The toilette
of the Empress herself is, if not al
ways the most costly-the Baroness
Rothschild, for instance, often has the
whole body of her dress studded with
diamonds-yet always the most elegant
there. At one court ball she wore q
white satin dress, embroidered with
gold, the blonde founces sAped up
with amethysts, diadem of N1hethysts
on her head, and her necklace and
bracelets of the same stones. Nothing
more lovely or more charming has ever
been seen, and an s1ahi" of astonish-
ment escaped from thousand lips.

THE FRENCH CAUSE AMONG FRENCH
CITIZENS.

The apparent apathy of the French
citizens of the United States is in stri-
king contrast with the enthusiasm and
zeal displayed by the Germans. While
the Germans are holding meetings in
all the large cities, pledging men and
money to carry on the war, and send
ing messages of sympathy and prom
ises of material aid to King William,
the French have not, to our knowledge,
held, as yet, a single meeting, nor sent
dollar to Napoleon. We know that it
will be said that the Germans are much
more numerous in this country than the
French, but the fact is hardly the less
striking on that account. The French
are numerous in New York, but no
meeting has been held there. In this
city they have society organized for
mutual support and assistance, but no
meeting has been called here. In St.
Louis, the other night, meeting was
announced, but less than a bakers dozen
were present, and an adjournment was
called before a resolution was passed or
a speech made.
The reason for this French apathy is
not that the Frenchmen are not patriot
ic. They bear towards France the same
warm affection that Germans feel to-
wards Germany. In her past successes
they glory, and of her position among
TIC udtlOHS VI lAo WOT are pGOuu.
But they do not love Louis Napoleon.
They believe that the present war is I'M
dertaken, not for the honor of France,
but TO crafty the present ambition of
the Emperor. The Emperor to them is
a selfish, relentless, implacable despot.
His only motive in undertaking the
war they believe is to secure his lin" in
the possession of the throne. Why
should they fight for any such end as
that? How are they to be benefited by
riveting on themselves the chains they
have been so long wearing? Only let
| it be assured to them that it is France
| that calls her sons, that it is the nation
that asks for protection, that it is France
| that is fighting against Prussian aggran
dizement, and they would rise with an
| enthusiasm more than German to de-
| fend their native land.
Frenchmen who live in the United
States are not the only Frenchmen who
look on the war in this manner. A
thousand men paraded the streets of
Paris last Saturday, shouting "eice la
Pdir," and the demonstration had to be
suppressed by the soldiery. 1t is not
only that these men believe the war
was undertaken on the most frivolous
of grounds, but because they think it a
| fight waged by Louis Napoleon for
Louis Napoleon.-CiRcinndt Gazette.

THE ROTHSCHILDS, KING WILLIAM.
AND NAPOLEON III.

.'There will be no war;" said Lately
the aged widow of Meyer Anselm
Rothschild to an acquaintance, ''for my
son will not give them the money"
This was doubtless also the idea of her
grandson, Alfonso Rothschild, when he
came to Ems to induce the King of
Prussia to give up his obstinate pur-
pose and grant some small concession to
the longing desire of the French mon
arch. Perhaps he wished to say to the
King that the Rothschilds would fur
nish no money and that if he did not
take pity on the embarrassment of the
French Emperor they would employ
their financial power to the injury of
Prussia and Germany.
However, King William cares moth
ing for all the Rothschilds in the world.
He has well filled treasury, with more
than thirty millions of hard dollars, the
exact opposite of the French treasury,
whose account shows nothing only on
the debtor side. Besides the council of
the North German confederation, rely
ing on the future appreciation of the Di-
ct, has granted him unlimited credit.
The King, accordingly, was unwilling
to receive the financial negotiator; and
while he himself packed off the imperti-
nent Count Benedict with q round an
swer, he sent word to the rich Baron
Oy a iii1t hC W aS hOb
at home.
At this Mr.. Alfonso gets angry and
resigns his Office as Prussian Consul
General in Paris. 1t must be admitted
that this is a very proper act on his
part; for he would by no means be a
suitable person to represent the COM
mercial interests of Germany in the
French capital at the present time.
He ought also to be praised for SO
warmly espousing the interests of the
Emperor Napoleon. Gratitude is a
beautiful but not very frequent virtue.
When the Princes father, in IS4S, made
in Paris the personal acquaintance of
Louis Napoleon, he was worth about
two hundred millions. Out of these
two hundred millions, in consequence
of the convenient information received
from the Cabinet of the President at the
time of the coup d. etdt, and since then
from the Cabinet of the Emperor, he
has made two thousand millions but of
these two thousand millions the greater
part is engaged in all sorts of specula-
tions and enterprises which would turn
out disastrously if anything unexpect-
ed should happen to the Emperor

OVER THE BARS.

Twas milking time and the COWS came III,
From the meadows sweet with clover,
And stood ia the lane, while pretty Jane
Had quiet chat with the drover.
such quiet chat that it scarcely seemed
That single word was spoken;
While magic spell with the night dews fell,
And the rhythm of song was unbroken.
The cattle stood at the lovers side,
Without any show of yexation,
As though impressed that five-bar rest
Was part of their restoration.
And as Jane listened to notes that came
Right under the bars and over,
Her heart took wing, like silly thing.
And nestled up close to the drover.
She heard him say that his home was poor
That he'd nothing but love to give her,
And she smiled consent, as though love had
spent
Every arrow he had in his CULVER;
She smiled content, while the evening air
With the voices of birds was ringing.
And her lips confessed that lowly nest
should never prevent her singing.
So over the bars the lovers lean,
In the joy of sweet communion.
And their looks dec iare that poverty ne'er
Shall be Il bar TO their union.
Oh, sweetest muse, go thread your rhymes
Now under the bars and over,
Where pretty Jane, ia the fragrant lane
Bewftched the heart OF the dIover.

COULD Nor SEE IT.-The worthy gen.
tleman who rules the rising generation
of boys in a certain town in Tennessee,
had occasion to correct little fellow
named Johnny. Now Johnny got into
a fit of what is called ''sulks," because
he was whipped; and in order to con-
vince him that he was necessarily pun
ished, bis teacher had recourse to the
following argument:
well, Johnny, suppose you were rid
ing big horse to water, and had a keen
switch in your hand, and all at once the
horse were to stop and refuse to GO any
further, what would you do?"
Johnny stifled his sobs for moment,
and looking up through his tears, re-
piled:
I'D cluck to him, SIR"
But, johnny, suppose he wouldn't go
for your clucking, what would you do
then 2"
''Fd get down and lead him, SIR
"And what if he were obstinate and
would not let you lead him ?"
"Why I'd take off his bride and turn
him loose and walk home, SIR"
"You may go and take your seat,
Johnny"
Johnny could not be made to see the
necessity of using the switch.

PEANUTs.-The peanut trade has be-
come so extensive a branch of agricul-
ture since the war, that its culture is
becoming subject of considerable in
terest and importance. The Middle
States are the principal growers, al
though Indiana, Illinois, ETC., are now
planting to large extent. The method
of culture is quite simple. Plant in
hills, three feet apart, not earlier than
corn planting time, one peanut broken
in two being the allowance for one hill
Nothing more is needed, save clean cal-
ivation, until the blossoms appear,
when they must be lightly covered with
earth. No blossoms will produce fruit
excepting those that are covered. In
harvesting, the vines are cut, taken up,
and stripped of their nuts, which are
placed upon floor or staging TO dry.
A double handful of seed viii produce
bushel or more of nuts.
