Coon ADvIoG.-We commend the following to
the careful consideration Of the parents of boys
in our town:
A word to parents. Keep your boys at home
after dark. II absent with yOnr leave know that
they are not in mischief disturbing your
neighbors The street is the school for all man
ner of vice, and few boys proof against the
many temptations of wicked associates aud the
darkness that cOnceals their deviltry. Parents,
if you do not wish your boys to learn habits and
tricks that will qualify them for the penitentiary,
and perhaps the gallows, keep them off The street
during the night time. Make your homes pleas
ant for the boys. Get them books and papers to
read and learn them to love their homes. Many
boys are not to blame for running the streets at
night. They would, many of them prefer home
after darkness, but they are told Ia some in
stance, ''do go out and play till bed time, and
let us have it quiet in the house for a little
while" Parents, you do yourselves and your
boys great wrong by driving them into the
streets at night. Better far to have them raise
a little mrthful rumpus under your own eye
than to raise the devil in the streets to the great
annoyance of your neighbors. II you think it
manly in your sons to chew tobacco, swear, &c,
furnish them "plng" and spittoon, and let
them griye you evening exhibitions of their pro-
fcieney This will relieve them of the necessity
Of going into the shops to find "chew," and
perhaps something else of more value.

RgITERATISG FROM THE SYLLABUs.--A paper
printed in Nicaragua, called the Gazette, pub
fishes, January /, 1870, letter signed by Card

Prime Minister, in which he says:
We have been informed here that attempt has been

republic by publishing programme In which enunciated
freedom OF education" aud of worship Both these prin
cpies are not only contrary the laws of Od and the
church, contradiction with te e0ncOrdant esab
lished between the Holy see and that republic.
This is bat reiteratng paragraphs from the
papal syllabus of 1864, in which the freedom OF
education and of worship are. denounced as car
dinal errors and sins against the church. Yet 1t
ia to this church, so denouncng secular educa-

New York city have, in the last fifteen years,
given away So, 900 900 worth Of real estate and
more than four-ffths of the moneys collected
from the people at large to support common
schools and public worship. This is simply tax

The final ceremonies of the convention were
characteristic inasmuch as while the chagrined

spoken-words and expressions that are never
taught in Sunday Schools, nor in well regu-

II il we'll known that there are officers in
this city, elected by the city council, whose
dutyis to look after truant children, and see
that they spend a certain portion of their
time at school This is right and proper. 1t
is protective clause in which society justly
claims the right of seeing to it that these chill
dren, in the formative period of their lives,
should have thrown around them the safe
guards of commen school education to pre-
vent them from becoming social outcasts and
nuisances, burden and curse to our city
and to the State and nation, Great interests
are thus entrusted to the hands Of parents,
teachers and guardians. But suppose all Of
these neglect their natural and legal duties?
Must the children go to destruction? Just
here the city steps in and affords officers to
fill this breach of parental duty. The proper
officers have been appointed and announced !;
but we are not aware of single instance
where the duty has been performed. 1t is in
deed delicate task, but scores of children
are playing ON the wharves, in the streets,
hanging around beer shops, and wandering
into the woods, when they should be in the
school room. can idle brain is the DEVILS
workshop" is a truism that viii never be too
old to be quoted while the world stands. If
the education Of these numerous children is
confined to the streets, without any Of the
wholesome restraints and discipline Of our
common schools, it must not be wondered at
If we are raising up and nursing small army
of bank robbers. counterfciters and libertines.
