Tbs seed Of vice finds fruitful soil in
young hearts and heads, and the youth
f1l mind, like plastic wax, can be
moulded into any form. The influences
exercised over childhood, have lifelong
effect, and though We all know better Of
ter, than we act, yet example is the
most powerful of all precept, and the
silent teaching OF action on the part OF
men around town, though in n noun
tain town, and far from many refining
influences, may have-indeed does have
a potent influence on the rising genera
ton. For this reason it would be well
for fathers AMI mothers to keep their
children off the streets after nightfall.
But it may be said. What ara they CO.
ing to DO; where are they to go?' There
is no better. safer, easier, or surer way of
saving children from the debasing in-
| huences of the street, from the corrupt
ing associations, and from the acquisi-
ton of vicious aud hurtful practices,
than to make home attractive. 1t takes
very little to amuse and interest bright
children. very slight saving in one or
two outside respects, will provide
source of amusement and occupation for
the young folks. Home influence and
attraction is the only antidots against
the poisonous influence of the street.
Every father desires to see his boy
amount to something; but the founda-
ton of many vicious aud wicked career
is laid in the nightfall FRANKS of boys
through public streets. 1t behooves ev.
cry paren. to look after the whereabo uts
of his boy after the day is done and
darkness covers the earth.
In the last number of the Westminster
Review laid on the RECORDS editorial
desk, occurs the following: {" Man is by
his very nature both progressive and
conservative, the one step forward, how
ever small is never wholly lost; even if
driven backward, the footprint remains
engraven on the rock of the past. to show
what has once been attained" And
now we understand all this newspaper
talk about Sitting Bull and his West
Point education. 1t is all clear now. and
the man who wrote the above may rest
content. BE has not lived in vain.
IMPROVING ON THE ANcIENrs. -Rollin,
or some of those ancient historians
whose works we read years ago, tells Of
some royal Persian whose favorte motto
was " Count that day lost whose low de
scending sun. views at thy hand ne
worthy action done" If the aforesaid
royal Persian had lived in Phoebe at til,
present time, he might have adopted TO
his motto and rule of daily campaign
conduct, something like the following
Count that day lost which leads the
to thy bed, with by thy tongue no word
Of blarney said"
