sSome things may lie said in favor of
boys; some trades would hardly live with
cut them.
The glass putin men wouldn't have
much to do, and putty would decline if
there were no boys to break windows.
There would be no customers for cast
iron peaches and green apples, which come
on early in the season but for the boys, and
doctors wouldn't have so much to do curing
cases of cholera morbus arising therefrom.
Boys can be made useful when they
have "A mind to, and can sell newspapers,
black boots, hold horses, and do chores.
In printing offices boys are known as
devils; printers have plain way of speak
ing.
Boys individually are better than boys
collectively.
If there was only one boy in the world
I think he would be good boy. 1t gen
ally takes two boys to get up any mis-.
chief.
Have one boy in store and you can
make him useful. Hire second boy, and
their time will be chiefly devoted to chas
ing one another over the counter, and
firing brush and directory at each others
heads.
n boy DeRlnS 10 De nuisance ABOUT the
time 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
enjoyable existence They have great
deal of fun at other peoples expense, but
they have, most always, grievances.
They would like to have their way u lit
tie more, and pretty way it would be,
too.
Give a boy his choice of an occupation
in life, in life, and the chances are that he
would prefer to he a Robinson Crusoe, on
u desert island, or captain of band ofrob-
bers, such as he has read about, and seri-
ously thinks of going into the one or the
other of these desirable occupations when
he gets to be IL man.
He has great reepect for the stage
driver and the captain of a canal boat
there is an air of command in these posi-
tions that quite takes his ideas.
His idea of being man is having plenty
of money to spend, doing what you please
and being able to smoke or chew tobacco
without getting sick over it.
