FRITZ AND LOUIS.

The Washington Chronicle explains
the very probable future of the Prus-
sian and French monarchies in the
following paragraphs:
monarchical governments the sue

antee of peace who has no heir appar
ent upon whom the crown will descend
without dispute.
Both Prussia and France have prin-
ces upon whom the crown will descend
upon the death of William and NapO-
leon; vet how different are the two
nations.in respect to the succession.
Napoleon finds ii necessary TO go to
war to furnish a preteNt for his son
Louis to distinguish himself and gain
the affection of the mercurial French.
But all the tricks of royalty do not
appear TO effect the object. but has en-
cited the ridicule ofthe world. On the
other hand we see the Crown Prince
of Prussia AT the head of the right wing
of the army measuring swords with
the best OF the French generals and de-
feating the flower of the French army.
The hopes of one nation hangs upon
the fortunes of a weak, sickly boy; of
the other on the strong arm, valiant
heart. and wise head of the Crown

THE ALABAMA CLAIMS ought to

Don't whip the Children.

Old customs of thought and action are con-
stantly being called up, and their worth tested
in the light Of science and religion, in these
days of progress and reform and among them
none deserve more earnest attention than the
question of punishment in all its bearings.
How many persons have not heard the
furious ordinations of an angry parent chas-
tising a child for some misdemeanor Now,
| do not wish to soil this page with these ma
lignant expressions without a good reason
But that reason will appear presently
First, you hear the piercing scream Of a
child in mortal fear Of PAIN and then the
heartless (shall not say prophetic p words
Of that child's natural protector, I'll learn
you to steal :" an learn you to disobey
me, you brat 90 You are always doing so -
Does that parent ever imagine the fearful
reality Of the meaning of these words ? The
very thought should cover his face with shame
and confusion.

one asks, How will he teach that miserable

Why this is easily done; whip him very

ishment. Of course the parent does his best
to find it out, and then charges him with it.
and gives him a sound thrashing, This will
teach him to tell more ingenious and circum.
stantial lies. Necessity, you know, is the
mother of invention.
Who doubts but that the foregoing mean
and debasing influences would lead directly
to stealing and the deepest iniquity2 If any
one thinks the case is oyerstated, let him lay
down the paper and give the subject few
calm, earnest thoughts.
The object of this article is not to find
fault, but to lead the erring to higher and
nober conception of duty to children.

Exercising Mechanical Skill.

Very few people exercise themselves in the
use of mechanical tools as they should and
might do. Many tiler Of the soil has often
spent dollars worth Of time, at hurrying
season of the year, in going to aud returning
from some mechanics shop, to get small job
done, which he himself could have performed
in very satisfactory manner if he had train
ed himself with little practice, to handle
tools with facility. As a rule, no class Of
citizens accustom themselves to wait on them
selves Most persons seem to be satisfied
with single attainments. Many mechanic,
even, consumes hours in looking up me-
chanic of another profession to perform some
| little Job about the house which he could do
with his own hands during his leisure mo-
ments This is not the way to save money.
| When a person has several hours of leisure
every day, he should exercise his faculties to
wait on himself
Years ago our ancestors were accustomed
to expend large sums Of money to pay labor
ers for performing what their fat oxen and
horses could have done, instead Of standing
idly in the stable. And many persons do the
same thing now Every man or boy should
exercise himself in the dextrous use Of me-
loblrs
perpetually present themselves For instance,
if a door does not close easily and fasten
properly, take it off the hinges, dress off the
edges a triae with plane, and make every
part fit neatly. If a window pane gets broken,
instead of paying fifty cents, or one dollar to
an itinerant glazier to put in new pane,
while you look on, procure some Spanish
whiting and lnseed oil, make some putty, and
set the window-gass. A poor man, who must
grind out his dollars dime by dime, may often
save many dollars during the year by waiting
on himself in these little ways.
Furniture often needs a little repairing,
which any ingenious man may do with dimes
worth of glue and cents worth of trlmmer's
tacks. A little tin glue-pail may be hung in
tea-kettle, the glue prepared, and the broken
parts united, just as well as by mourning the
expense of transporting the furniture to the
mandatory, and paying an extortionate
price for a small job.
Those persons who have plenty of money
may prefer to call in a mechanic to do all lit
tie repairs at his own price. But poor men
should be wiser Mechanic and Builder.

BOYS RIGHTS.

Talk about tho women, and the darkies,
and the-the-all the rest of 'em; none Of
EN- all are half so badly used as boys are.
| know a lot, and can give you all their
names, Ask 'em all They'll tell YOU to be
a boy is to be somebody without right in
the world.
You're to take all the sass that's given to
you and give none back, cause you're boy
You are to pay full fare in the cars and omni-
buses, cause you're a boy, and not child
and never have seat, cause you're n boy,
and not a man, Fat lady gets in after it's
all full, and looks about her. everybody looks
at you. Old gentleman says, My son. re-
proymgly. Conductor says, Come, now,
you boy I" You've paid your sixpence. No
matter, that's nothing You have been on
your legs with bundles all day. Who cares
you're a boy Now a horse has such a
load given to him as he can carry, and man
won't take 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 a boy who does a mans
work, and does it we'll for tenth of what a
man would get for it2 Who hasn't seen an
advertisement for boy who writes good
hand, understands accounts, is swilling to make
himself useful, boards with his parents, is
trustworthy, no objections to sitting up all
night, no impudence about him, the best rec
concentrations required, and two dollars a
week wagesf
Ask boys whether old folks don't make as
much fuss about such places as il they were
doing you q favor that would set you up in life.
Who wants a boy anywhere ? Your sisters
don't, in the parlor. Your father don't he
always asks if you're not wanted to do some
thing somewhere. You make your mothers
headache every time you come near her. Old
ladies snap you up, Young ladies hate boys.
Young men tease you, and give it to you If
you tease back. Other felows,-it's because
they're aggravated so, | know, always want
to fight, if they don't know you and when
you get a black eye and torn jacket, you
hear of it at home.
You look back and wonder if you ever
were that pretty little fellow in petticoats,
that everybody stuffed with candy; and you
wonder whether you'll ever be man, to be
liked by the girls, and treated politely by the
other fellows, 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 when your grand.
father or somebody complains that there are
" no boys now" you wonder, if he remembers
the life he led, that he don't consider it as a
subject of rejoicing
There is only one comfort in it all boys
will grow up, and when they do, they gener-
ally forget all they went through IN their
youth, and make the boys of their day suffer
as they did.

Pure Water.

The value Of pure water, as a sanitary
agent can not well be over estimated. Es-
pecially should great care be bestowed upon
the selection of the water that is used for
drinking and cooking, and while in many
cases really excellent water is readily acces-
sible, it is also the case that much OF the
water that finds its way into our bodies is
very unfit for that purpose. The great evil
in the case of most kinds of water is the pre-
sence of organic matter in other words,
dead and deeaying animal and vegetable mat
ter has found its way into it, In the coun-
try, where the supply of water is obtained
from spring bubbling from hill side, and
constantly changing, this difficulty does not
prevail to any great extent. But in thickly
peopled districts where wells are sunk beneath
the surface, we often find the water so impure
that it produces disease. This is especially
the case where wells and eess-pools are in
proximity to each other Ii is generally
received idea that after water has been filter
cd through thick layer of soil il becomes
purified from all organic matter, and that this
is true to certain extent there can be no
doubt But it often happens that liquids
