Youthful Integrity.

A FRIEND sends us the following 1t
reminds one of Casabianca, but two
points of difference may be noticed
Casabianca would not take water, but the
Washington youngster did; Casabianca
got "blowed up" this one did not. There
is nowadays good deal of complaint
about the want of obedience to parental
authority on the part of the rising gen.
Grafton, especially on the part of the
boys. We heard of q case the other day
which proves that there are noble excep-
tions to the average " boy of the period"
A young son Of one of the principal ex-
aminers in the Patent Office at Washing
ton went to pass his school vacation at
an uncle's in Kentucky, near the Ohio
River. There was but one restriction on
the scope of the boys amusement.
Horses, dogs, rifles, shot-guns, ETC., ETC.,
were freely allowed as companions of his
smusements; but, as his cousins were as
fond of the water as so many ducks, he
was requested to shun the boat which
the cousins were wont to use in their
aquatic excursions He promised faith
fully, like the dutiful lad he is, and de-
parted rejoicing. A recent letter to his
father graphically describes various ex-
cursions and the good times" he had
enjoyed, among the very last one in
which the cousins had desired to visit the
Ohio shore. "They went over in the
boat" writes the boy, "but / remem-
bered your wishes in that respect, and so
swan the riverp' 1t is understood that
the next mail announced to the youngster
that the embargo upon the boat had been
removed-Ha,per's Magazine.

No Success Without Industry.

Ireally believe, young friends, that
| idleness is the ground of most vices. /
am acquainted with certain young men
who are running about the streets, whom
see stepping out of drinking saloons.
| Some of them are sons of reputable pa
rents. / remember last summer meeting
| young man-one of the best-dressed lads
| in the city--a young man whom / met in
| the omnibus frequently riding up and
down; and had seen him so often, and
always with such leisurely air, that
said one day, calling him by name, What
are you doing?"
II have not got any particular bust
ness" he said.
"Well, haven't you anything to do?"
Nothing in particular, he answered.
1t was somewhat impairment, but
said, "Well, l suppose, now you are out
of school, you mean to get into something
pretty soon?"
Well, have not anything just now in
view," he replied.
To make a long story short, the poor
fellow has not anything in view, never
did have much of anything in view.
Drifting, drifting, drifting! Down, down,
| down! He is not the boy he was when
conversed with him last summer. There
is nothing truer, though trite, than the
adage, IAN idle brain is the devils
workshop" Unless there is an aim, a
plan, a purpose in man, there is de-
pravity, and appetite, and lust, and
passion. 1t is idleness that fills our jails
| and prisons. 1t is idleness that rolls up
millions and millions of dollars for
spirituous liquors every year.
Industry, my young friends, is the first
law of success. Some one asked man,
who was counted great genius, to de-
| fine genius, and he said, Genius is in
dustry" Things never come about of
themselves. The man who writes a
great book never wrote it in a day or a
| week. The man who has reported q
great invention did not combine wheel
and piston in an hour or a month; but it
was the industry of inquiry, the industry
of application. Industry isthe first law
| of success

Benny, with an O-bejoyful face, was
proceeding to draw the boots over the
tatters. Hold on, Ben, I'll be back
SOON" and off ne ran. Benny looked
surprised, but obeyed; while one or two
of the men went TO the door in time to
see Jack enter . store near by, from
which he soon returned with a small
parcel in his hand.
take off those rags" was his COM
mand, as he approached Benny, who had
remained seated on the counter in quiet
content, examining his new boots.
"ThereP' said he, opening the package
and displaying a pair OF the brightest
colored stockings. There! what do
you think of that?"
Think. Amusement and admiration
did not leave any room for thinking.
Benny had never seen such brilliant
stockings before. He had no idea that
stockings could be so beautiful, and his
admiration increased tenfold when, COM
plying with Jacks order to Pull 'em
on" he held them out for more inspec-
ton. His companions were forgotten,
the treasured purchase forgotten also,
while he sat speeches., looking at those
gayly. striped stockings. AT last Jacks
voice aroused him from his reverie.
Hurry up, Ben, draw on the leather
now" said he.
Must put 'em on over these?" in
quired Benny, obviously.
"Certain sure" replied Jack; they
were made to be covered up"
So Benny drew on his boots and
marched up and down the store for the
inspection of his companions. Then he
started to 90 home: but as he left the
store and began to walk up the street,
with a strut boys affect as soon as they
get on new pair of boots, Jack, who
wanted some expletive to ease his feel
ings, called out:
"Three cheers for little Bootsr' which
were given with will, Benny himself
joining in And if / had been there /

Max Adeler's Grape Vine.

lHAVE not Deen very SUCCESSFUL WIN
my experiments in grape culture.
boughta vine some time ago, and the man
who sold the cutting to me enjoined me
to be careful TO water it thoroughly
every day did so, but it didn't seem to
thrive. One day / asked my neighbor
Pitman what he thought was the matter
with it, and when / mentioned that
watered it daily he said:
"Be gracious, Adelcr, that'd kill any
one A grape vine don't want no arti-
fetal wateria'."
Then he advised me TO discontinue the
process, and to wash the vine with soap
suds in order to kill the bugs. My anx-
iety to know why it still didn't thrive
was relieved some time afterward by
hearing n man in the cars remark that
"some men kill their grape vines by their
burned foolery in putting soap-suds on
EN-" He said that all a grape vine
wanted was to have the earth around ID
loosened with spade. Then began to
dig around my vine every morning; but
one day, while engaged in the exercise
Cooley came and leaned over the fence
and said
"Adeler, you'll kill that there vine II
you don't stop diggin' at IL. Nothin

soil around the roots, now mind me
That vine don't want nothin' but to BIZ

| quickest way is to tic 1t up with wire
| as the oxidation destroys the bark Sc
| took off the wire and replaced 1t with
string. was talking about 1t to the
man who came over to bleed my horse
| for the blind-staggers, and he assured
me that there was only one sure way to
make grape vine utterly worthless, and
that was to run it up on a trellis. In
France, he told me, the vineyard owners
all trained their vines on poles, and that
| was the right way. So got the AK and
knocked the trellis to pieces, and then
| fixed the vine TO a bean pole. Still ii
didn't thrive very well, and ! asked a
nurseryman near me to come and look
at it, He said he couldn't come, but he
knew what was the matter with that
vine as we'll as if he saw it. 1t wanted
pruning. ought to cut 1t down within
| ten feet Of the roots and then manure II
we'll did cut it down, and emptied a
| bag of guano over it; but as ii seemed
sort of slow, insisted on the nursery
man coming over to examine II. He said
| that his fec was ten dollars in advance
paid him and he came, lie looked at
| the vine moment; then he smiled; and
| then he said: By gosh, Adeler that
| isn't grape vine at all! It's Virginia
creeper."
So have kind of knocked off on grape
culture and am paying more attention to
my cabbage. Ddnb,,y Neps.

Our Young Folks.
WHICH,

Thcre's quaint little fellow In black,
La out-ofway places he hides;
Good nature he never doth lack
And fretting and care be derides.
With arms held akimbo. he stands
And takes the world easy each day;
He owneth nor homes nor landE,
Yet sunlight or rain, he doth say:
Cheer up! Cheer uplr
There's queer little matron who hops
Mid leaves of the garden and grove;
Her Querulous tongue never stops
Complaining, where'er she doth rove.
She seemeth sprite of old Care.
While CHEEKY and blue are the skies,
And Joy L. abroad on the air,
Forever she murmur- and cries:
"Oh! dear. Oh. dear"
There are boys, yes, and girls, like these twain
meet them In field and in street;
From fretting some never abstain,
But some are all cheerfulness sweet.
A cricket or cat-bird to-day.
Now, which will you be, little dears
A kiss for the red lips that say,
Though skies may be cloudy or clear:
ACheer up Cheer upi"
