FOR HIS SAKE.

When the Flying Scud discharged
her cargo and passengers at the Lon
don Dock, there landed among them
gentleman who had been absent
from England nine years. All that
while he had passed under the burn
ing suns of India. He had suffered
as soldiers DO. He had fought as
soldiers fight. He had met the sol
dier's fate of scars and wounds, and
one of them had invaded him home
to England.
1t was the first time he trod her
shores for nine years, as we have said,
and for the first time in any year he was
going to see his son, the little boy
born after he left home, and whose
birth had been his mothers death.
Captain Penryn had only been
married year when he was ordered
abroad with his regiment. Six
months from that day letter had

An Anti. English Policy.

Several prominent New England politicians
are in the intrigue. and the outbreak OF war
will soon develop their tactics. The current
report In diplomatic circles Is that England in
tends tssact independ ntly Of the congress Of
the covers and inaagurate hostilities single
handed.
1t is not thought that England will formally
declare war. but will occupy Gallipoli and the
Aslatic side OF the Bosphorus. and then let the
Russians make the most of it.
The entire diplomatic corps here, so far as
can ascertain, regard active hostiities between
England and Russia as merely question of q
few days time. BUELL.,

When we took up the subject of agri

readers as full view of their condition
workings aud results as we possibly could
and have given something of the condi'
ton, results, and feeling entertained to-
wards those of New Hampshire and Massa'
chusetls by the people of those states. This

las, of Whiting taken from the Herald ana

another time, and of the Registers remarks
will only say that the tone OF them is no
exactly that of one whose sole motive is
that of seeking truth, and working for The
interest of agriculture. How an announce

WHAT TO TEACH BoYs:-A philosopher
has said that true education for boys is " to
teach them what they ought 10 know hen
they become men," What is it they
ought to know then?
tIrSt-to be true-to be genuine. No
education is worth anything that does not
include this. A man had better not know
how to read,-he had better never learn =
letter in the alphabet, and be true and
genuine in action and intention, rather
than being learned in all sciences and
languages, to be at the same time false III
heart and counterfeit in life. Above all
things, teach the boys that truth is more
than riches, more than culture, more than
earthly power and position.
SccOnd-To be pure in thought, language
and life,-pure in mind and in body. An
impure man, young or old, poisoning the
society in which he moves with smutty
stories and impure examples, is II moral
ulcer, a plague spot, II leper who ought to
be treated us were the lepers of old, who
were banished from society, and COMPEL
ed to cry " Unclean.' Us Il warning to save
others from the pestilence.
Ihird-To be unselfish; to care for the
feelings and comforts OF others; to be po-
lite; to be generous, noble and manly.
his viii include genuine reverence for
the aged and things sacred.
Fouh-To he sclf-reliaut and self-hope-
ful, even in early childhood; to be indus
trious always, and selfsupporting at the
earliest proper age. Teach them that
all honest work is honorable, and that an
idle, useless life of dependence on others
is disgraceful.
When II boy has learned these four
things, when he has made these ideas a
part of his being,-however young he may
be, however poor or however rich, he has
learned some of the most important things
he ought to know when he becomes n man.
With these four properly mastered, it will
be easy to find all the rest.-Hon'e Aros,
CAjcngo.
