PARENTAL CHAsTIsEMENT.-T are

here is case of parental chastisement
that is worthy of mentioning:
A man in Bridgeport, Conn, has been left

he, thinking it would be az we'll to play
the "Roman father" caused the arrest o,
the young seapegrace. When the ease
was tried the court fined the boy seven.
teen dollars, and ordered the father to pay
it. The old man is under the impression
now that he has not cleared any money
in the arrangement, and is inclined to be-
lieve on the whole, that he might have
d rectly negotiated a more satisfactory
adjustment of the little affair with the
boy himself.

BAPTIST FAIRAND FEsTIvAL.-Fridsy

Baptist Fair and Festival, and the result
was what might have been reasonably an
ticipated from the experience of the pre-
ceding evenings. AS before, the rooms
were conveniently and appropriately AZ
ranged, brilliantly lighted, and every
thing done for the comfort and accom-
mediation of guests that taste or ingenuity
could suggest, and the result shows that
the efforts of the ladies were duly eppre-
ciated and amply rewarded by the citizens
of Rutl and, the receipts last evening, for
admittance alone, being over seventy dol
lara, the tickets being only ten and fifteen
cents each, and this sum not including
season tickets.

music of the Sea.

The gray, unresting sea,
Adown the bright and betting shore,
Breaking in untold melody,
Makes music evermore.
Centuries of vanished time,
Since this glad earth's primeval morn,
Have heard the grand unpausing chime,
Momently newborn.
Like as in clustered piles,
Rich bursts of massive sounds upsSeu,
Ringing along dim-lighted aisles,
With a spirit-trancing spell;
So on the surf-white strand,
Chants of deep peal the sea-wayes raise,
Like voices from a viewless land,
Hymning hymn of praise.
By times in thunder notes,
The blooming pillows shoreward surge;
By times silver laugh 1t floats;
BY times low, soft dirge.
Souls more ennobled grow,
Listing the worldly anthem rise;
Dscords are drowned in the great flow
OF Natures harmonies.
Men change, and ''ceases to be-"
And empires rise, and grow, and fall;
But the weird music of the sea.
Lives, and outlives them all.
The mystic song shall last
Till time itself no more shall be;
Till seas and shore have pass'd,
Lost in eternity.

The SPIRIT OF THE TIME.-Cbsrlee
Msckay, the poet of the people, gives the
fel owing advice to all who would &C.
complieh good;
"s.iz- he Spirit of thy Time,
Take he me. ure Of It's height,
LooA into his eyes sub line,
And Undue thee with their light,
Kn'p bis worns ece they are suoken,
And with u tersnce loud and clear,
Firm, persuasive ana an6roke7a,
Breathe ,hern In the peoples ear.
The Spirit of the Time, however, is too
often mistaken for the prejudices and
passions and spread themselves on the
surface of society. The true Spirit of
the Times underlies the mere outward ap-
pesranoe of the world. Ii our public
men and people would bear this in mind
they wouId commit fewer blunders, and
we sbonld have fewer institutions and
oustoms which outrage the moral sense of
the people.

Give your Boys a Trade.

Yes, give your boys trade, ana let

they have no more right to be idle than

worst fortune that might befall them IN
after life The parent may be rich, have
his thousands, hundreds OF thousands,
even millions, but he can make no certain
calculations on perpetuating his fortune

engage in, they can fall back on this and

Idleness is parent Of crime and
wretchedness, and if boys, when not at

would teach them habits of industry and
economy, make them better and happier,
and better prepare them to be useful and

taught that idleness and not useful in.

most cases is to lay hold of their usual
sprightliness and draw it into useful pur-
suits, In which they will often become as
much interested as they are in their toys
and plays.
