most likely become a helpless and
irreparable wreck before he is 30;
and live out his days in desponden-
cy and uselessness.
And yet, the fault is not that of
the boys themselves; it is their IA
Tiers. Men have so much to do
that they imagine they have no time
to look after their sons. They buy
their clothes and books, and send
them to school and college-and
that is all. They do not inquire in
to their boys habits and associates;
they give themselves no concern
about how they are spending their
leisure hours. Indeed, they know
little about their boys after they
have passed into their teens. They
do not seek to gain their confidence,
but allow a feeling of estrangement
to grow up between them and their
sons, at that critical period in the
lives Of the latter, when they most
need direction and advice. Ifboys
are independent, it is because they
are left to themselves, and forced to
become SO. They choose their own
associates, pleasures and occupa-
tiOns, and if the choice is frequently
had, it is because they have no pa
tcrnal counsel to guide them. If
men would devote to the care and
discipline of their children a por-
tion Of the time which they give ex-
clusively TO business, they might
not accumulate as much money, but
they would have better sons and
daughters.

Whining.

There is a class of persons in this
world, by no means small, whose
prominent peculiarity is. WHINING.
They whine because they are poor,
because they have not health to en-
JOY their riches; they whine because
it is too shine; they whine because
it is too rainy; they whine because
they have "no luck" and others
prosperity exceeds theirs; they
whine because some friend has died
and they are still living; they
whine because they have aches and
pains, and have aches and pains be-
cause they whine, and they whine
no one can tell why. Now, l would
like to say a word to these whining
persons.
First. SToP WHINING. 1T is of
no use-this everlasting complain
ing, fretting, scolding, ault-finding
and whining. Why, you are the
most deluded set of creatures that
ever lived. Do You not know that
It's a well-settled principle Of ply
siology and common sense, that
these habits are more exhaustive of
nervous vitality than almost any
other violation of physiological law?
And do you not know, too, that life
is pretty much as you take it and
make it? You can make it bright,
sunshiRy, or you can make it dark.
shGdowy. This life is meant to be
only discipiinary-to fit us for q
higher and purer state of being
Then stop whining and fretting, and
''go on your way rejoicing"
Second. Sing Tie song Of life cheer
ly. Hark! Do you hear yonder
fiird singing joyously its merry car
OILS, as it hops from bough to bough
in its native forrest home? Initiate
IT, Take up your song Of life, us
ing it joyously and bravely. Sing
on. though you feel it not.
You are miserable nervous dys-
peptics, in wrong relations to your.
selves and all Gods universe, and
that's all that ails YOU. Then STOP
short, take up the song of life, and
leave off forever that a0hine Of death.
"a merry heart doeth good like G
medicine; but a broken spirit drieth
the bones" Lipe simply. cheeJulIy,
and trastjngly;, and by-and-by you
troubles will 'stake to themselves
wings and fly away" You viii
gradually grow moro and more into

things, and the bright light of hap
Of Heaven will shine placentiy down
into your souls and baptize them in
to NEW LIFE. j. S II.

A WOman's Temper.

No trait Of character is more val
liable in woman than the poses
sion of a sweet temper. Oh! we
can never be happy without it. 1t
is like the flowers that spring up in
our pathway reviving and cheering
US. Let man 60 home at night,
wearied and worn by the tolls of the
day, and how soothing is a word
dictated by a good disposition. It
is sunlight falling on his heart. He
is happy, and the cares of life are
forgotten. A sweet temper has a
smoothing influence over the minds
of a whole family. Where it is
found in the man, you observe kind
ness and love predominating over
the natural feelings Of n bad heart,
and smiles, kind words and looks
characterize the children, while
peace and love have their dwelling
there. Study, then, to acquire and
retain a sweet temper 1t is more
valuable than gold; it captivatcs
more than beauty; and to the close
of life retains ali its freshness and
mower

Advice 70 Girls

Girls listen to some advice; YOU
need it badly enough, there's not a
question of that:
Don't give your beaux q chance
to be sure of you. There arc ex-
ceptions to be sure; there arc men
who may be safely trusted with the
knowledge that they are all in ali
to the woman they are wooiRg. But
such ones arc deplorably few The
ardor Of most men lasts only so
long as lasts their uncertainty
Keep them off and they'll grow
more and more devoted-bring
them near, and they'll cool off as
a fiat iron in the snow. Let them
think you care little for them or
their love, aud they will try hard to
become more worthy of your re-
gard. Not flirt; not strive to wound
their feelings-we don't mean that
humanity forbid; but don't make
yourself cheap, just keep your own
counsel, and the more hopelessly in
love YOU arc the more doy You guard
the knowledge Of that fact from
your loyer. Keep il down and in.
all that you possibly can, till the
magic words arc said that make
you one; then take off tho bands
but do it gradually-'grow upon
him;" show him BY degrees the
strength Of the passion which be
has awakened in your soul.

Onr Rows.


The boys of this day are more
specially the representatives of the
features of the age than anything
else. We sometimes say it is a
railroad age, to express its fastness
and its fierceness; but the lOcomo-
tive docs not begin to compare with
an average boy, as q reflex Of the
feature Of the age. At fifteen years
he is as Independent and self-sup-
porting as a young man of p was
in our fathers day. lie imagines
himself equal to any enterprise,
from running n steamboat to com
manding regiment. He possesses
all the vices Of the times and reflects
all its characteristics. Such a thing
as reverence he is q stranger to, and
can not be made to understand it.
He can not comprehend that old
men are entitled to his humble res
pect, or even that his parents have
any rightful authority over him.
Their duties are limited to furnish
ing him the means of going to col
lege, or Of maintaining himself in
the position of a well-bred young
gentleman at home. He affects ci-
gars and pipes, and what he doesn't t
know about meersehaum and Turk
ish tobacco is not worth knowing.
He may be pale, fragile, nervous,
thin-chested and dyspeptic; but his
eye Is cold and fierce as q brigand,
and he is as reckless in the use of
his tobacco as an old tar. He may,
IN spite Of his vices and evil habits.

A woman says what she chooses
without being knocked down for it.
She can take 9. snooze .befor dinner,
while her husband goes to work
She can 90 out in the streets with
ont being asked to stand treat at

ia time Of war, and get married
again if her husband gets killed
She can wear corsets if too thick,
and other fixens If too thin, She
can get divorced from her husband,
IL she likes another better. She
car get her husband ihdebted all
