What VIII He Become.

The question is often asked BY pa
rents in regard to their sons. and by
the friends Of many young men; and,
although there is no definite rule for
ascertaining, We may get some idea Of
what young man will become by oh
serving his actions and words.
Solomon said many centuries age, that
even child is known by his work,
whether it be good or evil" Therefore,
when you see boy slow to go to school,
Indifferent about learning, and glad Of
every opportunity to neglect his lessons,
you may take it tor granted that he will
be blockhead.
Whe" you see boy anxious to spend
money and spends every cent as soon
rs he gets it, YOU may know that he will
be spendthrift.
When you see boy boarding up his
pennies and unwilling to part with them
for any good purpose, YOU may set i,
down that he will be miscr.
When you see boy wiling to taste
strong drink, You may rightly suppose
that he will b. druukard.
When boy is disrespectfal to his
parents, disobedient to his teacher, and
unkind to his friends and playmates, it
is sign that he will never be of much
account.
When you see boy looking out for
himself and unwilling to share good
things with others, it is a sign that he
will grow up selfish man.

The Late Eruption OC Vcsuvius.

The Late Eruption ~ VcSssAuS'
The eruption Of Vcsuvius, which be-
gan on tue twcnty-third day Of last
April, Was at once tho grandcst and
most terrible Of all the cruptions that
have occurred during this generation
For some days previous to the out:
break the mountain gave indications OF
approaching activity, aud when the
eruption began, hundreds Of people
observed it from the old lava-beds b.
tween the observatory and the town OF
Resina, and some Of them remained
there during the whole Of the night Of
April 25th. Early the next morning
two great seams opened under the
spectators feet, hot sulphurous vapors
cnvcloped them, aud as they sought
safety in fight, great rivers of lava
rushed out Of the newly-opcned cratcrs
aud threatened the frightened sight,
scers with speedy destruction. Some
found the earth under them too hot to
be walked upon, and, falling down,
persisted where they were. Others were
suffocatcd BY the gaseous en'anations
from tho earth. and still others were so
injured that they died after reaching u
place Of safety.
In the towns and villages around the
volcano the destruction Of property
was very great, but the people generally
escaped by timely fight.
In all the towns the terror was wide-
spread. Nine distinct cratcrs we're
opened, and lava streams, some Of them
sixteen feet deep, ran down the sides Of
the mountain, destroying every thing in
their paths. Several Of the villages
were almost entirely buried in ashes as
ancient Pompeii was in the terrible
eruption Of August Oath, A. D. 10
Even in Naples, people were almost
smothercd with the shower Of dust, Gin
ders, that poured down for days..
Every window was kept closed, aud
every farmer through the streets was
compelled to protect himself by carry
ing an umbrella, aud there were serious
fears on the part Of the timid that the
beautiful Italian city Of to-day was to
play the tragic part Of Pompeii in q
repetition Of the terrible scenes oe eight.

Varui1b for Harness.

Procure halt pound or a pound Of
gum shellac, according to the quantity
desired; break the scales fine, and put
them in a jug or bottle : add sufficient
good alcohol to cover the gum; cork
tightly, and place where it will be kept
warm. In about two days, if shaken
frequently, tho gum will be dissolved
and ready for use. If the liquid ap-
pears as thick as thin molasses, add
more alcohol. To one quart of var
nish add one ounce of good lampblack
and an ounce Of gum camphor. Such
varnish will not render leather hard ;
but will keep the harness from becom-
ing soaked with water, and the surface
clean and neat for long time. A coat
Of it will etfcctually prevent the oil in
the leather from soilius ones hands.
Nothing is better to render a farmers
boots waterproof than on occasional
coat of this leather varnish.-Home

Of this subject is one of the most i'm.
portant requirements Of the go.ahead

ably less understood than any other
which usually claims his attention. 1t
is = thing of which one cannot become

full, Of course, but only in connection
with the experience necessary to put
their rules into practice. Hence the
great utility Of the course of which
these young men are receiving the ben.

in farm-life, each will bccome-just
what is wanted in this respect-an ex.

will thus become centers Of knowled: e
