Education and Manhood.

II il well to pause, now and then,
in our pursuit OF success. to reflect up
on thoee influences which shape onr
manhood. both with regard to our de-
velopment as individuals and in the
quality of our citizenship. Though
such reflections generally tend toward
humility rather than self exaltations,
and convince US OF short comings rather
than of satisfactory achievements. they
are none the less salutary. As we look
back we perceive how our course has
been turned hither and thither by the
rocks OF error; how it has been at one
time pent up by the narrows of con-
tracted ideas, and at another, its
powers have been lost In the shoals of
superficiality. No right-minded man
reflects upon what he is and what he
has been, without longing for high
er manhood; and as he sees his own
life passing its meridian, his next
thought is for the budding manhood
of his children. In them lies the chance
to develop q manhood and citizenship
which he has failed to attain. The
Important question that is every day
forcing itself upon his attention is:
How shall ! so educate nv children as
to develop their manhood into its no.
blest form? Every parent knows that
any education which neglects this i'm
portant duty is worse than useless.
Here is where the greatest responsible
ity of school lies. Woe to that insti.
tution which while n imparts Soma
smattering of useful learning. lowers
the standard OF manhood in the pupil !
There are too many of that class in our
midst, and parents can not be too care
ful in selecting school to which to
send their sons. A bad choice is the
almost certain ruin of young man.
What can be sadder than to see life
thus blasted at its very commence
ments

Join at Once"

A story is going the rounds says the
Bombay Gazette, which is too good to
be lost. A young sub.lieutenant left
his regiment a short time ago on sick
leave. and put up at the best hotel,
not q hudared miles from Peonah,
where he was Immediately stricken by
the attractions of lovely maiden who
was staying there. He proposed, was
accepted and the happy day was fixed.
The Colonel, however, disapproved OF
sub.lieutenants getting married, and
particularly OF the marriage of the sub
in question. As he happened to be a
friend 1f the young mans father. lie
thought to prevent the nnion of the
fond couple by sending peremptory
telegram oouched in the following
words:

pleasure In his couDtenance; but the
lady was equal to the occasion With
blush Of maiden simplicity and vir-
gin innocence, she cast her eyes to the
ground and remarked
Dear me! Tm glad your colonel ap-
proves Of the match; but what a hurry
he's in! l don't think 1 can get ready '
so soon. but I'll do my best, because,
of course. love, the commands of your

The young warrior was puzzled.
Don't you see my darling" he said,
THAT this confounded telegram puts a
stopper on our plans: You don't seem
to understand the telegram. He says
peremptorily Join at once"
The lsdy's bushes redoubled. but
with look of arch simplicity. she
raised her lovely eyes to the .fance and
replied:
ut is you, my darling. who don't
seem to understand it. Your colonel
says plainly Join at once by which
he of course means get married inme-
diately. What else can he possibly
mean!"
A look of intelligence replaced the
air of bewilderment in the young hero's
classic features, and bestowing a regu-
lar fen de jofe of chaste salutes on her
rosy lips. he accepted the explanation
aud was enabled TO answer the Colon
els telegram in twenty four hours

A SPANISH PRISON.

The iron gates swing back; your stick or
umbrella is taken from you; you stumble
down the dark, time-eaten, filthy staircase,
and find in the courtyard below ground
some 20 or 80 of the very scum of the
capital. herding together, smoking, singing
obscene songs, lying stretched out on the
stones, or worse than this, recounting and
Boosting of their crimes Some few are
reading, for there is regular criminals
cheap literature current, called the litera-
ture of the Saladero. never in my whole
life, have seen faces of SO bad and brutal
lied type as those which swarmed at
every iron grating. The place was terribly
dirty; wet dirt and litter strewed stairs and
courtyard. Thence to the sleeping places,
vaulted chambers, half-moon apertures ad-
mitting ray of light, just enough to show
the flthiness of the place; tone-fagged
floor, wet and reeking with dirt: long rows
of stopping boards, eaten up with vermin,
along the walls for beds; while only over
one or two hung the dirty rug, which
showed that the sleeper had some covering
at night; the heat great, the smell insup
portable. Rose, in among the Spanish Peo

SLANG.

1t 10 lamentably easy to fall into the habit
of using slang phrases. You first begin by
using mild terms, such as "Good gracious!"
'Mercy sakes!" etc. Soon you require
something stronger, and still stronger, till,
after using all the ''bywords, you are on
the brink Of swearing, although, when you
first began, you had no idea of such a
thing. The habitual use of slang phrases
should be classed with intemperance, and
is generally found with it, as are also 6
great many other vices. Boys quickly
form the habit of hearing their elders
Even the babe just learning to talk repeat
them, and by some one is thought smart O
cunning, and is even encouraged in it
In after life would not the parent hav
given worlds to have instructed that chill

A PACKAGE WORTH TwEHTT-oNE THoUs-

CAN xxPREss COMPANY.
A special despatch from Cleveland, 0hio,1
dated July 1, says "A mysterious express
robbsry occurred this afternoon at Psines-
villa, Ohio. Tho amount 10 s21 900, and
the American Express Company b the re-
sponsfble party. Il appears that at half
past one this afternoon the express agent at
Psinesville delivered TO Express Messenger
Dixon, of the Painesyflle and Youngstown
road, two PACKAGES Of money, one contain
ing t20,O00 and the other $1,000 Mr..
Dixon took the money, receipted for it and
put the packages In satchel, which he
placed in the express wagon standing In
front of the door. The messenger, Mr..
Titus, TIC agent and the driver then started
for the Psinesyille and Youngstown Depot,
and on striving there minute or two later
the satche|, with the valuables, was missed.
Search was Immediately made along the
way, but without success.
EVERYBODY MYsTIFIED.
The men who rode IN the W agon have
peen In the employ Of railroad and express
companies for years, and have enjoyed the
fullest confidence of their employers.
Each declares he saw no stranger about the
wagon while going to the Painesviiie and
Youngstown Depot, and none were seen
there till after the satchel was missed.
This, with the character of the men, adds
TO the mystery, bnt nevertheless several
theories have been put forward as TO the
loss. One Ii that the money was done
away with by the three men, another 10 that
the theft was committed by expert robbers
who followed the $40 600 package from the
East, sBd succeeded In stealing the satchel
from tae wagon just rs It arrived at the
depot. By far the most credence is given
to this theory, and this even ing the express
company sent descriptions of two strangers
seen about the Office short time before the
packages were turned over to Messenger
Dixon.
WHERE TIE MONEY CAME FROM.
Ybe $50 600 package was from Hal,owell
Il Co.. wool dealers OF Boston, and was con
signed to the Trumbull National Bank, oj
Warren. Ohio. The 81 600 was from a
Cleveland firm to Boughion, Ford &Co., oi
Burton, Ohio. Ii. s. Julien, general mana-
ger of the company at Cleveland, ard a
couple of detectives have gone 10 work
