WHAT TO DO WITH THE DOIS-doUt"
Colleae Journal. asks: "What shall be done
with the boysl" and for answer says. 3"Give
them thorough business education. and they
will be almost certain to succeed. Certainly
business education is good thing to have, and
no boy should be permitted to grow up 70
manhood without it, But mere business ed
ucation, as thousands of men educated to bus'.
ness pursuits, who find it impossible to make
living will testify. is far less to be relied upon
than good trade. If it is found to be neces'
sary, therefore, to make choice between
business education and q trade, we say choose
tho trade. With good trade your boy will
find little difficulty in being able to make an
honest and respectable living in any part OF the
civilized world and without the degradation
of seeking employment by the day or month

Int the business man, without means, must nc.
cept a "position." which is always humliating
to man of spirit. What boy should have 49,
first, good moral training, aud good rud'-
mentary education. Next a good trade, unless
he actually has ability to become distinguished
in some of the professions. If he has this bis
talent will naturally lead him to seek out the
field to which he is adapted; and he will al
ways find it, too! and when he has found It,
encourage him in it. Do not consider, how
ever, that your boy has education enough, when
his education is merely rudmentary one.
He cant be too learned; and it is your duty
in every instance 10 give him the very best ed
ucation YOU ar. nbl. to, without reference Ia
his SO called future station in life. In this
country no particular station in life is allotted
to boys. but every one is free to determine his
own position; and if parents do their dut!
their boys will generally reach the place which,
BY right of intellect. belongs to them. One thing
more: Don't hamper your boys. Make them
love you and honor your counsels because they
do love you. and they will make better aud wiser
men BY it, Every boy of any account is con
sti,utioual democrat. and hates rulers aud res
traiuts with hatred sublime in its holiness.
While, therefore. his waywardness must be
curb,d and his whole moral nature brought
full, forward. in order to make of him good
man aud citizen, hr must be guided with a
careful hand and u steady intellect. which
knnws h"w Ia lead without presumption; how
Ia counsel without offending. and how Ia con-

to extort from the pent up and helpless pro
ducers of the great valleys east of the Cascade

BEFORE AND AFrER.-B-Iorc Gen Gran;
was eletcd to the Presidency the last time
we were told that If he was elected. his second
administration was to be perfect marvel Of
economy He had become familiar with the
routine Of his Office; knew all about the finan-
ces and needs Of the country; had the whole
government machinery in thorough working
order; a good and trusty Cabinet whom he TN
derstood and who understood him. and it the
people would elect him. verything would go on
smoothly, and thenceforth almost without fric
ton; while to elect anew asprant would be-
to compel recasting of the whole machinery,
and to run the risk OF elevating dishonest
man to the Presidency He was elected: and
although less than year has elapsed since his
inauguration. Mr.. George Boutwell,, in speech
before the Senate. a few days ago. made the
disgraceful announ cement that taxation, already
burdensome, must be increased or they would
have to borrow money to pay the current ex-
penses Of government. When it is remember
ed that the revenue annually collected by our
government is but little short Of $4,000, 900 900.
