HOME CULTURE OF BOYS.

One important means in the home
culture of our boys is reading. Per
haps no one thing has more to do
Wiz" moulding the mind and char
acter of young men than what
."., read in their every day life.
1t has been truly said that ''these
are periIous times for the boys of
America" The vast amount of
sensational trash that is now seats
tered broadcast over our land will
tell for evil upon the future lives of
our youth, unless cpunteracted in
its influence. We must preoccupy
thrir minds; give them access to
the best books, periodicals and
papers, Impress upon their minds
the Importance of such reading,
take an interest in what they read,
question them upon it and they
will soon have less taste for dime
novels and other trashy literature.
1t we would make farming attrac-
tive to them we mn>t take the best
papers. They will
read them with avidity, and will
soon he comparing the theories in
the papers with the actual practice
on the farm, and will become utter
ested in experiments. in the growth
OF crops and the raising of stock.
They will become managers and
and will cultivate the nina
as well as the soil.
A seniOus fault in the education
of our boys at home and at school
is, that we have failed to teach
them to think for themselves. We
have tried to thrust knowledge into
their heads, while we should have
aimed to draw out their minds-tO
make them think. The teachers in
many of our rural districts have
been faulty, in this, as well as their
parents. When We can make our
boys think FIR themselves they will
be self reliant. aud are on the high

HORRIBLE DEATH FROM THE BITE OF A

He told his wifi. til IT. she had only
one chance OF h.'r life, to have in

FCAu 10 StcCtSS.
The tendency of high, DRY read
ing is to excite the ina 2InatlOn
rather than stimulate thought. AS
IA result OF the influence of this KIND
ofreadlng, when our !, Dung men de
eide an occupation for life, they
often do STD thouShtlessly, choosing
one which is most pleasing to their
distorted imagination or excited
fancy. They look to the romantic
side only, and have no just appre-

and hence, have not the courage and

pointments, and obstacles hey meet

Boys who make up their ideas of
life from reading dime novels and
blood and Thunder tales, will not
consider farming either a safe or a
pleasant busint SIS, they will not
take into account that the number
who fail in it are very much small

DON'N LEAVE THE FARM.
Farmers VindicatOr.1

i diLuefS
The young man who leaves the
farm for The merchants desk, law
yers or doctors Office, thinking to
dig ,ify and ennoble his work, makes
a sad mistake. He passes by that
step from independence to vassal
artificial pursuit, and must be n
slave to the caprices of customers
and the tricks OF trade, either to
support himself or acquire a fortune.
The more artificial mans pursuit,
the more effeminate it is, morally
and physically. To test this matter
contrast the merchants clerk with
the farmer boy. The farmer may
have the most exterior polish, but
the latter. under his rough outside,
possesses the true stamina, that
makes the man He is a freer, trauk.
er. happier aud noblier man.
We would to God, that our young
men, would Judge of the dignity Of
labor by its usefulness and IN H.
lIness, rather than by the superb
cial gloss it wears. Many would
then give their places behind the
counters to the girls who need them
and whose delicate fingers could
measure off tape and ribbons much
more gracefully and expeditiously
than The brawny young men, who
now deligt to play the woman.
We hope never to see a mans no.
bIlily in his kid gloves or toilet
adOrnments, but in the sinewy,
muscuIa arm, whose oui line. brown
ed by tbesun betokens the hardyand
honest toiler, under whose vest
beats a knightly heart. Young men
don't quit the firm, but rather by
81 udy and Intelligence, build up
the profession of the farmer, until
it shall be known and hon"rcd us

Yesterday was payday at the
Architectural Iron Works, West
Fourteenth street, and at 1880
O'clock William Z. Goldin, a mes
senger employed by the company,
was sent to the Eleventh Ward

the bank lie noticed ID light wagon
containing four men, bur, without
pay ing much attention to it. he went
in and presented his check and
received from the cashier three
thousand dollars, chiefly in small
notes. He wrapped them up in ii
piece of paper, and making u com

At the same time three rough
looking men entered, one of them
taking a seat beside him aud the
other two getting sc ITS as close AS

sengers, and as itNwent on Goldin
saw the same wagon that he had
noticed before foliowi * closely. Ii
contained but one man and another
was riding on horseback near it.
While the car was passing between
avenues G and ID, in FOurteen,h
street being one of the quietest parts
of the route, the man who sat next
to Goldin snatched the package OF
money from his hand, and before
any Of the passengers could recover
from the surprise he had escaped
from the rear door. One of his com
panions follow ell him, while the
third quietly drew pistol from his
pocket, and taking his place at the
door turne'' the muzzle toward the
interior Of the car to shoot the fist
who might Try to get out.
The passengers were all on their
feet, the ladies shrieking, while the
gentlemen, who having recovered
from their first amaZement, had
crowded forward to seize the high
