A good many parents in this place ev-
identity think that it is all right for them
to permit their young boys to loaf around
the streets, and in the stores and other
public places after night-fall-other-
wise, there wouldn't be SO much of this
kind Of loafng going on here. But
such permission is most fatal leniency,
and in ninety mine cases in hundred,
results in ruin to those who are thus in
dulged In the day time, the street is
poor enough school for boys, and il is a
hundred fold worse at night. If 1t is
desirable to start boy on an unusually
broad and unobstructed highway to the
devil, it is only necessary to encourage
him, as soon as he has swallowed his
supper, to "go up or down town." and
not to put in appearance again at home
until all public places are closed for the
night. 1t went be long until he will
find some place, though not public,
where thev keep open, after fashion,
all night, and then he will mot go home
till morning." A short season-of this
kind of training will suffice to show his
parents and friends that he has been as
tonishingly proficient in acquiring "in-
formation" of character which cannot
fail to greatly assist him in his progress
on the broad road. From some inscru-
table cause, boys generally readily ac-
quire pernicious habits, and when once
these become seated, it is difficult, IN
deed, to up-root them. Itshonld there
fore be the studied aim of all parents,
and those who have the guardianship OF
children, to guide them in such direc,
ton as is most likely to be free from
dangers of this nature. A long stride
to this end is to keep them at ho'ae at night!

Young man, how much reading have
you decided upon doing during the long
evenings of winter now near at hand?
If, as yet, you have arrived at no con
clusion in the matter, allow us to sug-
gest that you do so at once. If you find
that YOU have no taste for "solid matter" I"
load up with dime novels and other
light stuff suitable to your calibre, rath
er than decide to ignore all kinds. But
it would be better to select snch works
as are standard, and will likely leave
some lasting and beneficial Impressions.

During the first part of the week all
the groceries and stores, and nearly all
the families in town seemed to be out OF
lard. There was lively demand for
the aleaginous substance-owing, per-
haps, to the Coming in" of new corn
meal, and consequent desire for fried
mush. But there was no supply, and
the disappointment thereat was gre1t-
very great! Wake mp, dealers in fami
Iy provender, and be keen to anticipate
the needs of the public in matters per

During a recent conversation with one |
of the "old" boys of Somerset, and one
who participated in the somewhat fa-
nous midnight march which occurred
here in the early part of 1860, and which
was formerly spoken of as the "Sons OF
Malta blow out," we were greatly
amused at his happy recounting of
many incidents connected with the
march. "Never," said he, "was any
thing undertaken in Somerset, more ad-
mirably managed throughout than that
demonstration Gotten up on the
spur of the moment, and requiring
such large number to carry it through
each one of whom had to be seen and
slyly instructed as to what to do, and
when and where to appear-and above
all, to keep mum-it is remarkable that
so few beside those engaged in 1t knew
anything about it, until the very witch
ing hour of midnight when the clang-
ing of the court house bell, and the re-
sonant tones of the brass band aroused
the snoozers in the immediate vicinity
of the square. "But," continued he, IF
the start from the lanyard had been de-
layed quarter of an hour, the whole
affair would have fattened out right
there Pretty nearly every fellow had a
full head of steam on, and not few were
struggling with good deal more than
they were gauged for. But once in line,
the weird novelty of the thing seemed,
for the time, to put each one on his
best behavior, and so the start was eff
fected with no blunders, and the march
and programme of proceedings were car
ried out without a noticeable faur pas,
though doubtless they were numerous
1t was only toward the close of the
march, that any signs of weakening
nature were visible, and that the badly
f frightened citizens began to take in the
situation, and perceive that the whole
affair was boar, with not a ghost in it.
