FOR YOUNG MEN,

Young man, you are now shay-
ing your future fortune. Each
year that you leave behind has
helped to make you a great and
good man, OF a worthless vega
bond in your life to come. Each
hour that you now see has its pow
er of shaping your way of living
in the great hereafter. Ah, it
reaches with its influence to the
boundless eternity. Then be
careful you have all that is worth
having In your hand at the pres
9nt time. The formation of one bad
habit may be your everlasting
ruin. Man is a being of habits,
he eats, be drinks, he sleeps, be
walks, he talks, he laughs, he
cries, all by habit Everything he
does, habit has something to do
with it. We repeat, then, be care
ful in what you do, Keep good
company above all things. Do
not visit place that you would
be ashamed to be caught at; let
your action be such that you could
stand before the best preacher in
the world without sign Of shame
And, my dear friend, for Gods
sake, don't let one drink of intox-
icating liquor pass your now inno-
cent lips, for that...is habit that
will bring every other bad habit
in existence upon you.

put them under lock and key.

A lawyers knowledge.

All good lawyers know the
value in the practice of their
profession of general knowl-
edge or information to be OBJ
tanned by practical intercourse
with the world and studies out
side the law library. In a
book just published by the
daughter of an English advo-
cate, Mr.. John Adolphus, the
following is told, which will IL
lustrate the value of the kind
/ of knowledge referred to. The
writer says: a -. p
"a very extraordinary Grim
inal case was entirely decided
by the knowledge my father had
picked up of nautical affairs
in his early voyages to and
from the West Indies. Las
cars were on their trial for the
murder of the captain of the
ship; the evidence of the mate
seemed quite conclusive. In
the course of it he said, howev-
'er, there was much peril and re-
quiring all the attention Of the
sailors to prevent her striking
on rock. My father, who de-
Tended the prisoner, asked so
many questions as to the exact
number of the crew, and where
each man was, and what he
was engaged in doing in this
perilous time, that at last the
Judge whispered, 81 suppose,
Mr.. Adolphus, those questions
are to the purpose? l own I
DO net see it, y thinking, doubt
less, the time of iihi@ Court was
being wasted. After a few
more questions as to the duty
each man was performing. the
witness had accounted for every
man on board, the captain be-
ing below, the two numbering
him. My father fixed his eyes
steadily. on the witness, and
said in a searching and loud |
"who was at the helm?"
The wretched mate dropped
down in a fit and confessed he |
was himself the murderer. Int
his false evidence he had given
to each man his position, and
the most material or
'ather left none to fill it. A."

DEAR Cousin SHARLoT While the
Go. Supt is doing up the logic of the
spelling book, want to hold forth a
little upon the Morals of English orthog
raphy, and the way our wiseacres teach
it to u.s. Words are not spelled so, and
$50, because they should be, but because
our Barbarian Ancestors happened to spell
them SO, ifofanglo-saxon origin, or happen
ed to anglicise so and so if of foreign or
igin-no rule, rhyme or reason being OBJ
served in either case; and when the for.
elgn word is so ugly or difficult to be
anglicised with our limited alphabet, they
make us swallow it whole and guess at
the pronunciation as best we may; for
instance the word en7aui, no one of the
letters of which has it's proper English
sound, and no English scholar simply,
could ever guess out its right pronoun-
cation or rememberit when given, except
as an arbitrary act of the memory the
spelling of the word being no clew to
the proper utterance of the sound of the
word. There is nor can be no proper
exercise Of the reason about it, and the
same may be said of large share of our
mother tongue when set in type, simply
because our spelling rests upon no truth
full basis, nor can it SO rest, until our al
phabet is enlarged to meet its required
wants. Until this is done our orthog-
raphy must always remain make shift,
apuzzle, an interminable tangle to per-
pick, annoy demoralize and rob our
children Of Three Years Of their precious
time to learn when there is so much else
to acquire that is essential to be done
Who is to blame for this ro55ery9 The
educators of the land, who quietly submit
to see this enforced drudgery inflicted
upon the children of to-day, andIprospect,
lively upon the children of all coming
time, who shall happen to be born of
anglo saxon parentage. Why does a
German child learn to read and spell
German in half the time that an English
child does English Because German is
mainly phonetic. Noah Webster said
that English Orthography was bar
6arous y ergo, they teach us barbarism
Surely we need Children's Rights
Party to abolish this barbarism, and pro-
tect our rights.
The Educator who should propose to
60 back to the three Roman letters /. V.X
to represent the ten digits as the Romans
did, would be hooted at as gunat5c an
equal piece of folly would it be to pro-
pose that we should try to get along
with .tfre of our Arabic figures to repre-
sent ten different numbers, yet this is
just the folly and absurdity that the Eng
fish race are daily enacting and proposing
to perpetuate, in trying to represent the
forty-sir sounds of the English language
