he lived will long cherish the memory
of one who has gone in aud out among
us for so many years, and whose deeds
of kindness have made him loved and
respected by three generations who
have grown up around him.
4th. That we hold in atfectionate re-
membrance his many years Of faithful
service as an officer Of this Church, and
thank God that during his whole life,
true to the traditional faith of his faith
ers, he never faltered in his firm support
Of her Evangelical principles.

What Shall we do with the Boys:

This is a question which many pa
rents are seriously and anxiously Gu
deavoring to solve. Some Of our late
experiences have more than ever made
it painfully apparent that there is some
thing radically wrong in our social sys-
TEN. How and where shall the remedy
be found? The professions are full to
overlooking; the trades are not much
better, while mercantile pursuits do not
present an inviting field except TO the
shrewdest of the shrewd. Hundreds OF
our boys are growing up without any
fixed occupation and are trusting to
chance, or like Macawber "waiting for
something to turn up" by which they
can get along without much care and
without much effort. In our country
there is certainly room enough tor all,
and there is one branch of industry that
of necessity never flags, We allude OF
course to agriculture. There is al
ways demand for good farmers. And
herein possibly lies the secret OF many
of our troubles. Too many boys have
left the farm to engage in other bust
ness. The man who is thorough and
practical agriculturist and does not
teach his boys this most independent
and healthful means of getting liveli-
hood, makes q grave mistake. Of
course all boys will not become good
farmers, neither will all make ingenious
mechanics or astute professional men.
The bent of the child should be careful
" watched. If he shows an aptitude
tor mechanics and is ingenious, by all
means see to it that he has opportuni-
ties for development in that direction;
ii on the other hand he shows talent
that would likely make him eminent in
medicine or in law, or in mercantile
pursuits, those are the paths III which
he should be permitted to walk. But
Of one thing be sure-agrculture is the
surest of all the professions of men to
reach both competence and indepen-
dence. This fact should always be
kept steadily i'll view, and farmers
should be careful to impress this impor-
tant fact upon their children. Many
young men reared upon farms weary OF
what they call the monotony and fly to
the cities and towns. What do they
gain by the change? Nothing. The
cities and towns have always large
number of Idle hands. The channels OF
industry are full to overlooking with
those who have been reared to city
ways and city life. There is no room
TOR the man who has spent his lite on
the farm, unless perchance he is man
of wealth and can live upon lis means.
We say then don't give up the farm
upon any account, but rather cling to
it, and in return receive from 1t both
pleasure and profit,
