{. Boys VIII be Boys.

Never lose heart because your BOYS are
a little wild. While you sadly call to mind
the things they have forgotten, you are ig-
norant of the things they remember. 1t IS
the fashion for boys to appear Indifferent to
the counSelS of parents. They have an
idea that it is rather the manly and hand
some thing to take good advice in logged
sort of way, just as they take medicine, and
a very brave thing to dare your threat. All
this is written in the code of boyhood. We
can't quite say with Emerson, that it is the
bad boy who makes the good man and yet
we have q great deal of sympathy with
that overlooking spirit of youth which is
sometimes little reckless, and which very
frequently leads into mischief.
just sit down, if you have such son,
and recall your own early days. 1t may
be difficult for you, just now, when you are
10 the middle of life, to see the fun which
the boy finds in what appears to you to be
utterly foolish, or perhaps wantonly evil;
but If you will turn to the early chapters
OF your own biography, you will find your.
sell stopping up the spouts of the old
country house, just to see the rain pour
over like waterfall, and you will recall
the fun of the old gentleman's embarrass-
ment, as he rushed out into the rain, bare
headed, to find the cause of the trouble,
and thereby got an attack of the rheuma-
tism which laid him up for couple of
weeks. Well, your boy is going through
the same experience, and, by .and-by, he
will regard it as you do now, as an unut-
terably foolish thing, and wonder where in
the world the fun was. The truth is, that
all these pranks are as necessary to boy
hood as the measles. They are the result
of natural animal spirits, which can no
more be repressed than can the waters
which come bubbling up out of the sand.
We remember when very wild colt
presented his heels to us in such forcible
manner that, before our surprise had van
ished, we found ourself in a little disgusted
heap on the other side of five-rail fence.
At the time, we thought it an unhorsely
thing to do, and felt exceedingly like pelt-
ing the creature with stones. But he
came up to the fence with such a demure
and abashed look, and put his head be-
meath the rail and snuffed at US in such
repentant mood, that we concluded it was
part of the necessary experience OF the
animal, and cheerfully forgave him. Now,
boys are coltish. They never think OF
consequences. They only have the fun of
of the thing in view.
Don't stop praying, and praying hope
fully, for your children at such times.
BY keeping close to the boys heart, and
trying to appreciate his side Of the matter
as well as your own, you will keep con.
troll of him. Working Church.

PETITIONS and memorials asking for
female suffrage continue to be presented
to Congress at every session of that body.
Beyond keeping the subject continually be-
fore the public, such petitions and me-
MORALS are of no earthly avail, as they vir-
tually 60 under the table. What the adyo-
cate Of woman suffrage should do is to
proselyte the fair sex and stop scolding the
men. 1t is pretty generally conceded that
the women will get the ballot whenever q
majority of them ask for it, and the pre-
sent objective point of the leaders in the
suffrage movement should be the CONVEX
sion of the women to their way of thinking.
This once done, who could doubt that
Congress would respond favorably to an
appeal from the women of the country for
the privilege of the ballot?

day near Durhame, the reverend as well as
corpulent Mr.. Brown CHANGED to pass that
way, and knowing Mr.. Cunningham,
austerely reproached him for breaking the
Sabbath, telling him that he was doubly
reprehensible, as his good sense should have
taught him better. The poor poet turned
round and replied: "Your external appear

LOCAL RowDY ORGANIZATIONS
While it may very well be doubted wheth-
er the present times are distinguished by
any more virtue, intelligence, obedience to
law, or true piety, than those which are
past, it is certain fact, and one that
causes feeling of satisfaction in all rightly
ordered breasts that the gangs that for
merly infested this city and the individual
DULLES who used to be king-bees In the
different sections where they resided have
all been used up. Rockets Roughs, Old
Market Gangs, Butcher Cats, Sidney Ducks,
Bacon Quarter Branch Bruisers, and other
kindred organizations, are things of the
past. Time, that great arbiter of human
events, has swept many of them individu-
ally and collectively into the great abyss
OF eternity, while the correctional con-
stabulary, the police justice and the hust-
ings court have put most of the remainder
where they would do the most good."
A party who makes himself obnoxious to
the police of Richmond nowadays stands
but little show for long and brilliant ca
reer in wrong doing, but is soon made to
understand and appreciate the beautiful
but rather sombre emanation of the gifted
Solomon, "When blooming youth is
snatched away" So mote it be.
