Boyhood's Need.

OF all earthlv undertakings, none
pays better than the brooding over an
ungainly boy. What shall be done
with him? Love him as mono but q
mother can love. His destiny is in
your hands. Bear with him. Take an
interest In his affain; win and respect
his confidence. Go to his bedside at
night with kiss and blessing, and
whispered prayer. He may pretend
slnmhar- hnt he will tell his wife of IL
with team in bis eyes, years after you
have gone to your reward.
When he sees that you are less of
Tended with his boyish rudeness aud
follies, than with the slightest want OF
integrity, that you are proud of him,
content with him, he will make the
mothers great heart Of love q resting
place. Let the spirit Of adventure
take him the world over, he will never
forget whose id"l and pride he was in
those days when he WAS "in every
ones way, aud 81 no use." II the
mothers Of our land must engage in
politics. oil tho professions, and live
In public, God help the boys from nine
to sixteen! They are friendless in
deed! They have lost the only being
capable Of steering their bark safely
through the quicksands, rocks and
shoals that lie In the way from boy

Boys.

Boys are unmitigated nuisances; that
Is. as far - my observation extends, I
have found them to be such.
They are certainly the greatest trials
with which good housekeepers have
to contend.
Did you ever know boy to clean
his feet before coming into the house?
l never heard Of such . thing except
In books.
The use Of doors and gates is un.
known TO them. Ifa boy is within
two feet Of Q gate, he prefers jumping
ovvs the Iencs, % the trouble Of open.
Ing It. Once In . great while be does
condesccnd to use 1t, and then, when
you begin to think he is becoming
.i~s'i.ed, he walks of, leaving 1t open !;
. COW comes In and tramples your
flowers down "A = natural conse-
quence.
They make holes in this sidewalks to
play Boston," They leave their
bows and arrows around under the
stove to season. And as for skates,
there Is no telling where you may
stumble over pair.
They convert the sidewalks into
sliding places; sliding places indeed !!
you have to walk in the middle of the
street. or risk broken neck.
They take down your best china cups
to make paste in, to assist in the
manufacture Of kites. Indeed, if you
lend your new overskirt pattern, you
need not be surprised to find it trans
formed into ; kite.
These are but few of the countless
faults of boys; but as for the young
gentlemen, who have attained the
dignity Of . cigar and plug hat, one Of
their principal faults is one Of Josh
Billings complaints against flies.
"They lack kood deal Of humility
nightly.
Another fault they have, which
stands out in bold relief; that of
staring at the ladies whom they meet,
in way that would be objectionable

With proper care there seems to be no
just ground for any such objection. It

Of the danger in this direction to

out Of 2S.s51 persons, 1882 were sue
csasfnlly re-vaccinatsd, and among AL
this number there occurred not one

similar proportion should not exist
elsewhere.
1t must be confessed that the present
stage Of the small pox epidemic

Vaccination.

The credit of discovering that the
inoculation Of the human body with
the virus Of the disease known as the
COW pox was . prevention Of small
pox, 10 awarded with general consent
to Edward Jenner, an English physi-
clan, who was born in l749 and died
In 1929. The discovery was the fruit
Of long and patient experiments, sug.
gested by . belief prevailing among
the milking folk IN Gloucestershire
that people who contracted tho COW
pox by hand contact with the udders
Of animals 90 diseased, never had and
never would have the email pox. For
Us many as thirty years the matter
was either in his thoughts or under
his laborious examination, and In
spite Of the derision, contempt and op
position which his theory at first en.
countsred, he In the end established It
triumphantly, and was spared to enjoy
something Of the honor which grate-
ful nation paid him In return. It was
Cuvier who said: "If vaccination
was the only discovery Of the epoch. II
would serve to make It illustrious for
ever"
The COW pox Is rare eruptive dis

So many little islAn0D,
And sleep the go Of silence
That flows shout them all.
There, when the moon Is risen,
The peaceful waters eIisten.
But yonder plashing listen.
1t Is the souls that nh.
The little boats are skimming,
The wind-led boats ere skimming,
Each in its silver trimming,
Apart from feet and shore.
There not an oar Is dipping
With Just cables slipping.
Glides out the phantom shipping
Thht wanders evermore.
Every days an island,
A green orOarren island,
A lowiand or . highland, :.
That looks upon the sea.
There fruitful groves are crowning:
There barren clifls are frowniR,
And rocky channels drowning
The little boats that fee.
How many are the islands.
The teeming, talking Islands.
That in the sec ofslleoce
The rowing vessels End.
Their number no man knowah;
Their way the curpspt showeh:

The sailors long to tarry-
For rest they long 70 tarry
When at some isle offAiry
They touch and go ashore.
With songs OF wistfnl pleading.
They follow fate unhseding.
And with the tides receding
Are drifting as before.
But some time, in the sailing,
The blind and endless sailing,
They psss beyond the hailing
Ofland upon the lee:
The lowlands and the highlrnds.
And all beyond theislands,
Behold the sea of silence
Behold the great white sea.

ment of the United States upon the charge
that it has broken the international law of
neutrality in furnishing arms to the enemy of
Emperor Wilhelm, is a singular spectacle.
That not all his much mourned persecution in
his native land has availed to wean him away
from his affecton--that this refugee stands to-
day in the attitude of assaulting the Govern
ment of our country, which has given him a
refuge; that he stands in our Senate falsely
alleging unfriendly acts toward the country
of his birth as a reason for slandering our
Chief Magistrates sufficient proof of the
wisdom of the Fathers in making it part of
the fundamental Law that no man alien born
shall ever hold the chief executive Office of

lost reputation, while our government has
taken higher rank. The two nations had
solemnly agreed and bound themselves by
treaty to leave their disputes to arbitrator
for settlement, But no sooner was our
"casep to be presented to the Board made
public, than England raised an cutlery
about its unfairness, and threatened to
withdraw from the treaty. This was
weak or dishonest. 1t was either an
expression of war5 of confidence in the
arbitrator whom she had aided in select
ing, or a declaration that unless that gov
eminent could have the shaping OF our
"case.n she would not be bound by the
result of the arbitration. The remarks of
Gladstone at the opening of Parliament
were childish, and disgraceful to the
nation if they could be taken as a repre-
sentation of its feeling.
In striking contrast is the attitude OF the
at Washington. Overlook
ing the pettishness and seeming breach of
faith manifested at London, the President
quietly informs Lord Granville, that he
asks only justice, confides in the integrity
and Judgment of the Board chosen to hear
and determine the matters in controversy.
and will hold to the treaty and abide by
their decision. If England thought to
help her side of the question by the course
pursued she made mistake. There can
be but one opinion as to which govern
ment has the advantage in these proceed
ings.
