LITERATURE FOR BoYs.-The American
boy is very fond of gun powder. There is
touch of the savage 10 him at bis best
estate. He likes to handle dangerous wea-
pons, to make a noise, to read and hear
stories of savage beasts and savage men,
of bloody encounters and feats of daring
and deviltry. Nothing distinguishes the
boy-mind from the girl mind more defini-
tely than its delight in the shocking
details of violence. There is good side
to this but the writers are few who see
aud consult it always in their narratives
and writings. An act of physical courage,
gallant demonstration of prowess, an ex-
hibition of free life out of doors, the brave
meeting and conquest of difficulties on
food or feld-alI these may make q
healthy appeal to the budding Instincts of
manliness in boy. Beyond these lie the
dangers in which current boy-literature is
so sadly fertile. OF boys books there are
many that never could have been written
by men of conscience and there are per-
iodicals, prepared expressly for boys,
which it is a shame to write, a sin to pub
lish and sell, and a curse to read. Com
paratively few OF our people know what
base, criminal, dirty things are prepared
by tens of thousands for American boys,
and scattered and sold all over the land

AS chance would have it, they that day
read in school, fable two thousand years
old, which will now tell you.
The North Wind aud the Sun had q
dispute as to which could show the more
strength. They agreed that the one that
could strip a man first Of his cloak, should
be the victor.
First North Wind tried his strength he
blew and blew, with all HIS might; bat,
blow as hard as he could, lie could not do
much. The man drew his clock round
hisa more and more tight he would not
let it be torn from him. So at last the
North Wind gave up the tug, and called
on the san to see what he could do.-The
Sun shone out with all its warmth. The
man could not we'll bear the heat he soon
grew 80 warm that he had to take off his
cloak and so the Sun became the winner
in the trial.
Love has more strength than hate.

NECESSITY OF SUFFER1NG.-There was
never a hero in this world, there never was
ybody that the human race received as
royal, who had not suffered for others !;
who had not given himself in some sense
for his fellow men. Tho heroes, for the
most part, that have been known, the men
who have been erected into demigods,
were, all of them, in spite of their faults,
beings who had the heart and greatness to
suffer for their country or for their kind.
We cannot imagine a true nobility that
is self contained that is able to ward
of all sSfering; that never does suffer; that
never will 81 fer that can live in the midst
of human life and ali lite Hnfoidings aud
environments, and contrive to maintain
itself in violate from sufferiDg. 1t is incon-
sistent with our fundamental notions of
truo manhood, that a being should go
through this life in the condition in which
men live, and be able to shield bimseif
entirely from suffering, and wrap himself
in serenity of perpetual joy. We may
say, " That is a beautiful conception )" but
there is nothing in it that wins the sdmira-
ton and reverence of men.

a very necessary lesson for many people to

A PLEA FOR IMITATION.

It is argued tlat there is not enough currency
because holdera of roal estate find it difficult
to sell. People have not money enough to buy
our property, 10Y the owners, 80 the Govorn-
ment should iHsue moro money. Stating such
nu objection acoms like setting up man Of
STRAW for tho .sako OF knocking him down
afterwards. Yet 1t il gravcly made, and is made
in varied forms. Nearly every plea for imitation
can bo resolved into something like it. 4 man
finds that he cannot easily soil hia houao, his
lot, his railroad bonds, his merchandise, his
promissory note,-aud lo straightway cries for
moro money. To-day, all tho mon who aro iu
ditiicultios--who want money, and cannot eaaily
change what they have into mouoy-aro clamor-
Gus for intuition. Are they Justified?
THOR olamor finds its only reason In tho idca
that there should always be currency enough In

commodity whatsoever. Ihis il I'LL impossibility.

II the currency is inflated, that ls, III made

Thoy will rise at least as much o. tho yalue Of

not sell for losa than a5,625 whom groonbacls

$4,000 In gold. In the lattor caso, ho will
probably demand more than $5G25, for tho
money he receives Is liable to doprocnte etiIl

runs in taking 1t. How, tlion, can man who

A SHARP CORRESPONDENCE.

aen Sherman, In tostifying before tue House
Military Committee on tho reloaso Of the Indian
Chiefs sasauta and Big Troe, said that, II they
should now scalp Gov. Dayie, ho (shorman)
would sl,oel fow taa1s. Tho boligorent ox-dov-
esnor turned as oncc from fighting Texas to
fighting Sherman. Ho wrote tho latter an ablo

tonco Of tho two Chiefs from hanging TO life-

and BECAUSE ~ the tribe know this, tho oxeou-
tion would haye no moral effect upon them.
Tho two murdererH wore afterwards released.
Gov. Davis shows that Grant ordered tho reloaso
without first consulting him, mud that he at tlrst
refused to allow It. Indian Commissioner Smith
appealed to him not to diHcrodit the President
by maliug him break bis written promise to tho
tribe, and said thst such course would preoi pi-
tato a general Indtan war. To escape Huoh
calamity, Davis finally yielded on condition that
