What Will He BecOmes

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 a young man will become by OBJ
serving his actions and works.
Solomon said many centuries ago,
that even a child may be 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 neg
lect his lessons, you may take it for
granted that he will be blockhead.
When you see boy anxious to spend
money, and spends every cent as soon
as he gets it, you may know that he
will be a spendthrift.
When you see boy boarding up his
pennies, and unwilling to part with
them for any good purpose, you may
set it down that he will be miser.
When you see a boy willing to taste
strong drink, you may rightfully sup
pose that he will become a drunkard.
When boy is disrespectful to his
parents, disobedient to his teacher, and
unkind to his playmates, it is a sign
that he will never be of much account.
When you see boy looking out for
himself and unwilling to share the
good things with others, it is a sign
that he will grow up a selfish man.
Whenever you see young man
spend his money for jewelry, cigars,
liquors, etc, instead of investing it in
real estate, you may know that he is a
blockhead already. There is more
hope of a fool than of him."

County Newspapers.

Here's a good thought from the Mt.
Sterling Sentinel for the benefit Of
country editors:
The publisher who credits subscrip-
ton, transient advertising and job work
knowing that he is compelled to pay
cash for his material, has no right to
complain that his business does not
pay, and of all men has less cause to
be astonished at the necessity that
compels the suspension of his paper.
Another thing to avoid: Gratuitous
work for party candidates. They
have no right to expect it. Office is
inseparably connected with salary.
And the salary is what nine out of ten
candidates are after. The candidate
has as much right to expect his tailor
to keep him in clothing without charge
as to expect his publisher to devote
his paper to his glorifcation before
the people without pay therefor
Make the politicians pay the same as
other advertisers and never allow a
line of puff to appear in your paper
without pay. Your merchant or gro
Ger don't expect to supply your family
from their stores without pay, and they
have no right to expect you to adver-
tise for them without remuneration.
Selling goods or groceries is their
mode of making living. Publishing
newspaper is your mode of making a
living. They cannot give their goods
away without loss, and you cannot
give away space in your paper without
loss. That which will beggar them
will beggar you.

In his report made before the late
Swine breeders National Convention
Mr.. A. B. Allen said of the Berkshire
As the Berkshire were brought to
their present state of perfection at an
earlier date than any of our present
improved breeds of swine, their good
qualities have become prepotent. This
makes them superior to all others for
crossing on the common swine of the
country, and places them highest in
value for this purpose. 1t is to be
hoped, therefore, that greater atten-
ton will be paid hereafter 10y our far
mers to securing Berkshire boars for
their use and that this increased de-
mand for them will stimulate the
breeders of the pure stock to Invaria-
bly, select their best for propagation ),
thus keeping them up to the highest
state of perfection possible to attain.
The Berkshire improves most other
breeds by being crossed upon them;
but we know of no other breed that
can improve him-he stands unrivaled
among swine.

A Telling Hit.

The recent death Of Mr.. John G.
Tucker, says the Boston Journal, calls
to mind speech which he made in the
House of Representatives some years
ago--a speech that was full of tingling
wit, and delivered in the happiest man
ner. General Banks had been elected
Governor, by combination between
the Free Sellers and the Know Moth
ings, and it was naturally supposed
that In his inaugural address there
would be some reference to the issues
of the campaign. But the adroit Gov
ernor omitted all mention of the An
ti-Slavery question as we'll as of the
Native American policy. A member
arose and moved to print 10000 copies
of the address, when instantly Mr.
Tucker got the floor and spoke as fol-
lows:
Il rise Misther Speaker, to second
the motion of the honorable gintle-
man to print tin thousand copies of his
Excellency's speech. You may won
der, Misther Speaker, why /, who am
nayther a paersonal nor q poleetical
friend of His Excillency, should do
this. 1t is well known that His Ex-
cillency has risen to power by coall-
ton between the Anti-Slavery and the
Native American parties, or, as they
are sometimes called, Free Sellers and
Know Nothings. And this puts me
in mind of little story.
There was Bishop in Dublin who
engaged painter to make large pic
ture for the Cathaydral. The subject
chosen was the crossing of the Red
Say by the Israelites. After shuta--
BILE time the picture was complayted
and hung in the Cathaydayl, covered
with broad and heavy curtain. A
great crowd of people assembled to
see the picture unveiled. The priests
entered in procession, the organ sound
ed and the singers sung. All faces
were turned in anxious expectation to
the great curtain. When it was drawn
aside nothing could be seen but vast
expanse Of water-reddish green wa
ther. The Bishop in great rage turn
ed to the panther and said: Il thought
| asked you to paint picture of the
Israelites crossing the Red Say?'
''Thrue for you, that's jist 1T, SAID
the panther. ~
But where are the Israelites ?"
asked the indignant Bishop.
They're gone OUer," said the pain
Their.
well, but where are the pursuing
Egyptians?"
They're gone under," said the pain
ther.
with similar disappointment the
friends of His Excillency stand now.
IF they ask What has become of the
naygerY' the answer is Hes gone
ouer, Misther SPEAKER" IF they ask
then, what has become of the Know
Nothings 2"-"Why they've gone an
der, Misther SPEAKER"
The roars of laughter from all sides
of the house made the rest of the
speech inaudible.

Railroads and Judges.

There is a terrible cutlery because
the farmers of Illinois, who are fight
ing the railroads, made a stand and
elected their candidate, in judicial
election. Well, the railroads have
been looking after Judicial elections
for long time. A great number
of Judges on the bench are owned by
railroads. Hundreds of Others are
running up and down the country on
free passes given them with the purely
business purpose of affecting their de-
cisions favorably to railroad interest.
WHY should not the farmers own a
few Judges? There is not a railroad
man of large intelligence in the country
who does not know that the great
corporations have their representa-
tives in the lowest and highest caucus
es, and as keen an eye on the election
of Judges as on that of member of
Congress and it is popular knowledge
that the Supreme Court of the United
States was, in the opinion of the chief
justice himself, packed in at railroad
interest.

AJackass In once.

In a New Jersey town, number of
politicians, all ofwhom were seeking Of
fee under the Government. were seated
under table porch, when an old topper
named Joel D., person who was
very loquacious when corned, but ex-
actly the opposite when sober, said
that he would tell them story. They
told him to fire away whereupon he
spoke as follows:
"A certain king-I don't recollect
his name-had a philosopher upon
whose judg ment he always depended.
Now it happened that one day the king
took it into his head to go a hunting;
summoning his mobiles and making the
necessary preparation, he summoned
the philosopher and asked him would
it rain. The philosopher told him it
would not, and they started. While
journeying along they met country

them to return, for said he it will GER

Before they had gone many miles, how

having taken the rustic's advice, as

the skin. When they had returned to
the palace, the king reprimanded the
philosopher severely, I met country
man. said he and he knew a great
deal more than you. He told me it
would rain, whereas you told me it
would not The king then gave him
his walking papers, and sent for the
countryman, who soon made his ap-
pearance.
Tell me, said the King, how you
knew it would rain l didn't know,
said the rustic, my jackass told me so.
And how, pray, did he tell you? asked
the king. BY pricking up his ears,
your majesty, and the rustic. The
king sent the countryman away, and
procuring the jackass of him, he placed
