What to Teach Our Boys.

Nor to tease girls or boys older than
themselves.
When their play is over for the day to
wash faces and hands, brush the hair and
spend the evening in the house.
Not to take the easiest chair in the
room and put it directly in front of the
fire, and forget to offer it to the mother
when she comes in to sit down.
To treat their mother as politely as if
she were a strange lady who did not
spend her life in their service.
To be as kind and helpful to their
sisters as they are to other boys sisters.
Not to grumble or refuse when asked
to do some errand which must be done,
and which will otherwise take the time
of some one who has more to do than
themselves.
To make their friends among good
boys.
To take pride in having their mothers
and sisters for their best friends.
To try and find amusement for the
evenings which all the family can Join in,
large and small.
To take pride in being gentlemen at
home.
To cultivate cheerful temper
To learn to sew on their own buttons.
If they do anything wrong to take
their mothers into their confidence, and,
above all, never to lie about anything
they have done.
To make up their minds not to learn
to smoke, to chew, or to drink, remem-
bering that these things cannot be nm
learned, and that they are terrible draw
backs to good men and necessities to
bad ones.
To remember that there was never a
vagabond without these habits.
To learn to save their money and1nvest
it, from the first penny they earn, and
they are sure to be rich men.
To observe all these rules and they are
sure to be gentlemen.-Cali, ornsa Farm

Planting Trees.
Herald.

A GENTLEMEN of our acquaintance was
recently giving US an account of a man
he once klew-an old-style, well-to-do
farmer, as he was, who had founded
grand old farmhouse and reared large
family Of children-who was constantly
planting trees. When not engaged in
any other work he was always putting
down tree. No matter what the sea-
son, no matter what the weather, this old
farmer was always at his favorite work
Fruit trees and shade trees-about the
house, by the roadside, in the field
were always being set out. If one died
it was Immediately replaced, and the
locations and peculiarisies of trees were
studied, that success might be more uni
form and sure. why do you spend so
much time in planting trees" said our
friend to him one day. "You do not ex-
pect to live to receive the benefits of
them yourself, do you?" mo" was the
brave reply, but somebody will" This
is the true spirit that should animate US
in all that we do, especially in that which
has to it anything of an abiding and per-
manent nature. He who plants trees is
working for the good of those who are to
come after him, and the service is better
than that of building house or erecting
monuments, inasmuCh as that which is 10
live for centuries and confer it's richest
blessings to all those brought within its
influence is better than that which is to
perish in few years.
A noble tree, with its deep-reaching
roots and wide-spreading branches, is an
object of beauty; and by its luscious
fruit, its refreshing shade, or its forms of
loneliness and grace commands our adj
miration and attachment. What slight
task to transplant them when young, and
how they repay the cost in after years
by their varied contributions to our en-
joyment and comfort! And what last
ing and benefcent service is he render
ing to his fellow-men who at every OPP
portunity is planting trees which shall
outlive the planter and confer their 81
lent benedictions upon those who come
after him. This is spirit of true philan-
thropy, spirit of working for others
who are to receive the benefits Of our
labors, which is alike beautiful and COM
endable-beautiful because it draws
out the better feelings of our natures,
and commendable because it brings with
it pure satisfaction, and may be imi-
tated without fear of being overdone or
refusing to confer its blessings. There
is, moreover, in the matter of fruit trees
direct profit which is not slow i'll COM
ing. The old idea that be who planted
an orchard planted for his children is
not true. If vigorous trees are set, the
soil we'll prepared and the trees taken
care of, the returns from a young orchard
may be reasonably expected in a few
years. A man need not wait long after
planting an orchard to eat of the fruit of
it himself, while to his children it will
be an ever-increasing source of satisfac
ton and profit. Therefore, /" be sticking
down trees when you have nothing else
to do; they will be growing while you
are sleeping ."-MaSne Farmer.

DEATH OF THOMAS T. BOND, ESQ
ANOTHER OF THE OLD DEFENDERs-This
gentleman departed this life on Sunday last
at his residence, the White House farm
near Falls ton, in this county, at the advan.
ced age of cighty-three years. One of the
vasion, his long life had been one of varied
usefulness to his fellow men. He took part
in the war of 1912, and was one of the noble
band who composed the garrison at Fort Nc

after that celebrated bombardment, the &C.
count of which Francis s. Key afterwards
made the foundation story of his national
while serving the guns of the fort, that Mr.
Bonds hearing became so much impaired
that he never after fully regained it. Those
of our older readers who have heard the de-
ceased speak Of the events of that celebrated
combat, will never forget the graphic and
spirited manner in which he was wont to re-
late it. 1t was n narrative that never failed
to stir in him to the last, patriotic and Just
feeling of pride at the recollection of the part
he had sustained in it,
About the year 1918, the father of Mr. Bond
was appointed by the Governor of this
state, Register of Wills of the county.
His son, the subject of the present sketch,
assumed entire control of the office and
for q number of years filled that respon-
siblc position in manner highly acceptable
to the people of this county.
The period of his service extended from
the date above mentioned down to about the
year 1S4s, when he was succeeded by G. w.
Billingslea, Esq, one of the present Judges
of that Court.
Mr.. Bond prior to the late war removed
with his family for q brief PERIOD to the state
of Missouri, but soon after returned to Har-
ford, where he spent the remainder of his life.
He was member of the Methodist Church
and his remains were inferred on Tuesday
last in the cemetery adjoining Friendship
Church, near his former residence, followed
by number of mis- neighbors and old asso-
cates and friends. Capt. A. L. Jarrett, clerk
of the county, DR.. VIM. S. Richardson, Reg
lister of Wills, Franklin Whitaker and VIM.
H. Waters Esqrs, acted as pail bearers, the
funeral services being conducted by Rev. E.
Finncy.
Mr.. Bond leaves widow and large fam
lily of sons, who are variously engaged in
professional and mercantile pursuits in diff
erent sections of the country-two of them
being located in California.
