EDUCATIONAL TRAINING.-It is not of
SO much Importance what you learn at
school as how you learn it. At school a
boys business is not simply or mainly to
gain knowledge, but to learn how to gain
it. His time at school has not been mis-
spent, even if he carries away n very scanty
store of actual facts in history, or litera-
ture, or physical science. Ifin his school
days you cram his head with such facts be-
yond wha. are merely elementary, you are
very apt to addle his brains and to make n
little prig or pcdant of him, incapable,
from selt-conceit. of much farther progress
afterwards.

Luck.

An alarming large number Of the sons of
the rich men of New York are at this mo-
ment helpless. drunkards.
Within five years well-to-do farmer
drew a quarter of million dollars in a
prize lottery. The whole country envied
him his luck, but he has since died from
style of living induced by his good fortune,
and his only son has turned out TO be n
drunkard.
Young men are they, many of them of
education, ofmany good qualities, of gene
Gus natures, honorable and high-minded /;
but this demon of drink has taken such a
possession of them that fathers breaking
heart, mothers tears and sisters agony
avail not to draw them from their deep
damnation. Elegant leisure was their ruin.
The man who married the prettest girl
OF the place is said to be ''lucky fellow"
and so of him who draws the highest prize
in lottery. or by some fortunate turn in
affairs, clears the gulf between want and
wealth in an hour. And yet the histories
of all times tell us that with a terrible uni
formity and certainty the men who become
suddenly possessed Of funearned millions die
in great misery
The man whose first bet on the race
course, whose first deal at the card-table.
whose first risk at faro, whose maiden lot
terry ticket brings money largely in his
pocket, is ruined man at the very instant

The best way to save child from ruin
is to bring him up to "help father" Make
children feel that they must do something
to support the family, to help along; then,
too, feelings arise which are their salvation
those of affection and pride; for we na-
turaly love those whom we daily struggle
together with for desired object, and
nothing so improves child as to make him
feel that he is of consequence, that he can
do something, and that what lie does is

NERVOUS children often suffer from
fear, when put to bed alone No tongue
can tell the horrors of lonesome room to
such children. A little delicate boy, whom
his parents were drilling to sleep alone,
used to cry violently every night, and his
father would come in and whip him. lie
mistook his pertinicty for obstinacy, and
he thought it his duty to conquer the
child's will. One night he said "Why
do you always scream so, when you know
you shall be punished ?" "Oh, father,
father ~ said the little fellow, II don't
mind you whipping me, if you would stay
with me-" The fathers eyes were opened
from that moment lie saw that hui
man being cannot be governed by dead
rules, like plant or an animal.
