REMEMBER, BOYS MAKE MEN.

BY MARY Z. TURNER. 81
When you see ragged urchin
Standing wistful in the street,
d. With torn hat and kneeless trowsers,
. Dirty face and bare red feet,
Pass not by the child unhecding .
Smile upon him. Mark me. when
He's grown he'll not forget it;
For, remember, boys make men.
When the buoyant youthful spirits
Overflow in bSyish freak.
Chide your child in gentle accents,
Do not in your anger speak: '" cod.
You must sow in youthful bosopns ara
Seeds of tender mercy then .s7
Plapts will grow and bear good fruitage
When the erring boys are men. .t.
Have you ever seen grandsire, r'i
With his eyes aglow with joy, .. ...
Bring to mind some act of kindness
Something said,to him, boy, p3'ot
Or relate some slight or coldness,
With brow rs clouded, when .F-
He said they were too though,less .i
To remember boys make men. ......
Let us try to add some pleasure .'F
To the life Of every boy; uH,l % AE
For each child needs tender interest
In its sorrow and its joy ...
Call your boys home by its brightness;
They avoid a gloomy den,
And seek Cor comfort elsewhere
And. remember boys make men. t

"steamer day." as on such occasions the
assortment of merchandise is most CON-
plete, and displayed to the best advan-
tage, we soon find ourselves among groups
of newly-arriVed passengers curiously ex-

cannot be surpassed. Seated on a neat

MR.. COLFAX'S ILLNESS.

To the Eszitor oft Golden Age:
Do you want to know what fioored Mr..
Colfax? will tell you
1t was the want of a private secretary.
a man who lives much in the view of tne
publlc-especially Public Mans the
most miserable slave of the. desk unless
he has a secretary able to answer all or
binary letters. Every Washington wants
his Hamilton. A member of Congress
who keeps only good clerk, merely to
write from his dictation, has three times
the power to serve his constituents that q
member has who uses no hand but his
own. BIT find him a really competent
secretary, and you multiply his power to
tserye his country by ten.
The editors Of orr great daily papers,
and the managing editors as well, all find
it necessary to have secretaries. What
could Mr. Whitelaw Reid, of the Tribune,
do without oneS You know very well,
from your daily observation, that he
could not get through his daily work.
AS to Mr.. Greeley, if he had not the most
remarkable constitution and perfect
bodily habits, his correspondence would
have killed him years ago 6rf.a
! Members of Congress who have private
fortunes, generally have secretaries
General Butler has two exceedingly com
petent ones, of whom one is a rapid short.
hand writer, and he. keeps them both
very busy. A leading member of Con.
gress will usually receive fifty letters and
packages in a day, all requiring some
attention. EE 5000 ~
Mr.. Colfax occupies most perplexing
and tantalizing position. He is the
second man in a rich and powerful ma
ton, and has the salary of bank cash
Ter. Such a secretary as he needs and
ought to have cannot be obtained for less
than two thousand dollars year, which
lis a fourth part of his official income.
Can you wonder at his determination to
retire to private life?
The remedy is SIMPLE and obvious It
is merely to abolish all fees, mileages,
and perquisites, and multiply the salaries
of the leading persons of the government
by three !; which would about bring them
to the point at which they were fixed in
the time of President Washington
How absurd to pay Mr. Boutwell, a
salary on which he cannot keep house in
Washington, while some of the financial
agents whom he appoints maintain estab
lishments to which that of the president
is mean! The inevitable consequence
must be, that the men of force and ability
will choose the positions of real power
and govern the government from without
Able men cannot be had for the wages we
pay-calumny and poverty. New York
has a Tweed, who governs its govern
ment; and who can say how long it will
be before the government is Tweeded?

A CAT-AsTRoPHE.-The captain of one
or the largest steamboats, running on the
Potomac was astonished one day lately.
as his boat touched the landing at one of
the riverside watering places not great
distance from Washington, to see all the
guests assembled with their baggage ready
to take passage for the city. In making
inquiries as to the cause of this general
exodus he soon discovered that thereby

at the hotel had disagreed with the board
ers, and not satisfied with complaining,
they took French leave. A batch Of
dough had been prepared for the oven
and placed on table. A playful kitten
thought it would be nice to run over it.
1t looked SO snowy, warm and tempting.
Kitty tried it and soon found her delicate
little feet sinking in the dough. She
struggled 60 escape, and like Governor
Morton IN the stolen treaty business, only
struggl'd to sink deeper, until this youth

young Lochlnvar went into the yeast She
never rose again, but the bread did. It
closed over this unfortunate specimen,
not leaving hair apparent. Cooky of
course was not aware that instead of a
loaf of bread she had kitten dumping,
and put the mass in the oven and baked
it. When the bread was opened at break
fast next morning the birds did not beg1ny
to sing but the boarders did. They fairl
howled with wrath. They knew that there
had been family of kittens, and as hash
had been served for breakfast before this
extraordinary loaf was opened, the con.
clusion was natural that the other part of
the family had gone into the hash and
down their threats. They were first ia.

Among the many queer stories which
are coming from Paris, is the one that an
American company has proposed to the
Thiers Government to take the contract
for the complete restoration of Paris
within space Of five years. The public
buildings destroyed by the Commune, the
defaced churches, the PROSTATE Vendome
Column, the city gates and walls, every
thing in short, that art can restore, is to
be made as good as new. The Bots de
Boulogne, the Wood of Vincennes, and
other parks and gardens will, of course,
require much longer time than five
years for their restoration, but it is stated
that the American contractors propose to
do all that is possible in this direction
Vithin'the prescribed period. It is not
announced what M Theirs thinks of the
proposal

A physician in Wilmington, N. c., has
performed the operation of trausfusing
blood from lamb into q human BODY.
The subject was an inmate of the CITY
Hospital, who had been suffering for
some time past, and who had lately seem
ed in danger of death from mere exhaus-
ton. When laid upon the table he was
too weak to talk, and appeared to have
but . few hours of life left in him. When
his vein was opened but one drop of
blood fell from it. The carotid artery of
the lamb was opened and the blood was
forccd from thence, by the palpitation of
the animals heart, through small glass
tube into the patients cephalic vein. In
this way about eight ounces Of blood was
conveyed from the lamb to the man. The
operation was entirely successful; and it
is not only expected that the patient, who
is a negro, will recover, but that he will
hereafter produce q superior grade of
merino wool.

DR.. Louis De Silva, alias Cardoza, a no.
ted bigamist, lecturer, and practical ro-
mancer, was killed on the Both of May at
Fort Sedgewick, about 400 miles west of
Omaha. De Silva was an extraordinary
character, but nothing is known of his
early history except what he himself
chose to tell He was man Of varied
requirements, talked fuently in all the
modern languages, was familiar with
Latin, had travelled in many countries,
and was most reckless and unconscion-
able rascal 1t is said that he was once
sentenced to be garroted in Havana, and
that he was with Macmillan in Mexico
it is certain that he had deserted four
times from the Federal army, and had
married more wives than any man in
America except Brigham Young. Shut
up in cell, with no book within reach
but German Bible, he has written for
the press column after column concerning
his personal adventures with Gen. Prim
in Spain and though the whole story, so
far as he was concerned, was probably
pure fiction, every circumstance connect
ed with PRINTS movements would be
found to be historically correct, even to
the distances given by De Silva between
the different cities and places mentioned
in his narrative. In March he jumped
from train of cars while heavily ironed,
and broke his leg !; only thirteen days
afterwaid he escaped from Fort Sedg
wick in his crippled condition, and was
subsequently, found lying helpless on the
prairie, covered with snow and with both
feet badly frozen, After being taken
bsck to the fort, and having his feet prop
erly dressed, he remained tolerably
quiet, until the Both of May, when
he went under guard to the suffers shop,
became intoxicated, got into quarrel,
and was finally shot by the soldier who
had him in charge. De Silva was we'll
known in many parts of the country BY
some he was considered to be insane; but
unless total lack of moral principle is
insanity, there appears to have been no
good reason for such belief.

young partridge and raised it,it,was very
shy for long time. When the children
would go to feed them, it hid. But it
soon got to obey its foster mother, who
seemed to be more watchful of it than OF
her own breed. When they went to rest
on the tree it would get under her wing.

its foster mother would soon bring II
back again. BY November it ats at the

the turkeys. 1t was quite favorite
among all the turkeys. In December it
