Mr. DlOgeneA.

This singular man lived in Greece He was
distinguished for his eccentricities, bad Manners
and bad disposition. 1t was his chief business
to find fault. For example, he took a lantern
one day when the sun was shining brightly and
went out to search for an honest man, thereby
lnsinuating that such persons were exceedingly
scarce. When Alexander, a distinguished mill
tary gentleman, paid him a visit, and inquired
what he could do for him, he had the impudence
to tell him to get ont of his sunshine" TO cap
the climax of his oddities, he dressed like beg
gar and lived in tub! He was sour, grabbed,
Crusty old bachelor. We infer that he had no
wife, first, because history does not mention her;
second, because no woman would take kindly to
one of his habits, dress, manners, aspire to
become mistress of his mansion. There an
old woman who lived in shoe" it is true, but
the woman who would live in a tub, and espe-
clally with such a companion, has not been heard
from. The misanthropic spirit which possessed
this man was doubtless due to disordered diges-
ton and biliousness, one of the prominent
symptoms of which is a morose, fault-fnding
disposition. The tongue is heavily coated. Civ
ing rise to bad taste, the appetite is not good
and the patient feels dull, sleepy or dizzy and
is apt to be. fretful. Unfortunately, Mr.. Do
genes lived several centuries before DIR. Pierce's
Pleasant Purgative Pellets were invented a few
doses of which would have relieved him of his
bile and enabled him to find scores of honest
men" without the aid of his lantern. Under their
magic influence, combined with that of the
Golden Medical Discovery, to cleanse his blood,
he might have been led to take a more cheerful
view of life, to exchange his tub for decent
habitation, to 'spruce up" in personal appear
ance, and at last have taken a wife to mend his
clothes and his manners, both of which were in
evident need of repairs, and become the happy
sire of little Diogeneses who would have handed
down to PROSPERITY the name, not of cynic
philosopher, but cheerful, healthy, happy, Oirtt-
GUS mani!

An Old Bachelors Latter End.

LET us glance at the latter scenes.
Even he has his day. When people
find chat he will not marry, and that he
is getting on in years, they gradually
I" drop him" He ceases to be asked to
parties, and naughty beauties turn up
their noses when he supplicates for their
favor. He may not lose caste at the
same time that the bloom Of youth is
robbed from him, but when he begins to
enter upon the regions of the sere and
yellow leaf his flatterers drop away. He
sees younger rivals upon his heels, and
has to make room for them. The old
ties that render life dear to him snap,
one by one, and none form to take their
place. Not being engaged in any work
of usefulness he has to fly to his club
for companionship, and he has no diff
Guilty in discovering that the friends"
whom he makes there do not care straw
about him. People feel that he is, in
some respects, social failure, and they
feel, further, that it is his own fault
They laugh at him because he is vain and
selfish and continues to banker after ad-
miration; they hold his little foibles up
to ridicule; they use him when it suits
them. Perhaps there is no man more
hopelessly alone in the world than the
gallant bachelor who has outlived the
pleasures of youth and turned fifty

in Naples. The bodies were found tied
with thick cord around the ankles and
necks. The secretary of the hotel identi-
fed the young man as Albert Stafford, and
the lady as Miss Knowles They had
been ardently attached, and latterly
young Stafford had failed to receive any
remittances from his father, wealthy
cutler in Sheffield, England His in
debtedness to the hotel was large, as he
had frequently borrowed considerable
amounts while hopefully awaiting cash
from home. The belief is that the par
ents were bitterly opposed to the union
of the young couple, Miss Knowles being
evidently person of inferior standing
and education. In Stafford's pocket an
empty bottle of prussic acid was found.
The bodies were thrown up by the tide
near the Villa Reale.

Farmers, think of this; the very boys
you are rearing to-day, driven from homo,
will fill the highest places in the gift of
commerce, art, manufacture and legisla-
ton. Why should the farm see this tai
ent depart-why rob itself of their needed
brains? If these, your descendants, can
give impulse to trade, invention to me-
chanics, eloquence to the FORUM, why not
induce such ability to remain with your
Why not encourage such talent to lift the
cultivation Of the soil into the front rank,
to select with business sagacity the prof
liable branches of culture, to conduct
with merchants shrewdness the buying
and selling Of tools and seeds and prod
ucts?
II commerce or manufactures make
loud calls for your boys, make louder
calls yourself. Give the boys a chance
at home, encourage them, stimulate them;
give them piece of ground to cultivate
as their own, give them cattle to rear;
surround them with such books and pa
pers as your means afford; permit them
to make inexpensive experiments; treat
them as equals, as young men of brains,
of percepuve faculties; give them little
authority, little power; talk matters
over with them, consult with them, try
their capacity, put confidence in them.
Encourage the village lyccum, the farm
ers' club; take the boys along; let them
raise a few early lambs; introduce any
culture the success of which depends on
their personal attention to detail; make
the boys interested, thoughtful, anxious
to excel. Don't kill them with drudgery;
brains are worth more than stone walls,
knowledge is more powerful than iron
bars, study is more potent than physical
force. Make home pleasant to them,
encourage social gatherings of young
folks, promote sociability, company,
amusements variety of occupation
These are among the city's attractions,

ent. Adopt the remedy, keep the boys
on the farm; if more business is wanted
