HOW To KEEP BOYS AT HOME.
Amuse Them, Play Cards With Them
and make Home Pleasant.
LRey. w. H. H. Murray in the Golden Rulcl

Rev. w. H. H. Murray in the Golden Rulc.l
Amuse your boys if you wish to keep them
ut home. Play whist with them. What
l hear some one Of you say, why, am
member Ut DR.. So-and-sO's church." Well,
let him 70 to the dogs for once: let your
church 70 to the dogs, and save your boy
from gong. When l was young man at
college there was deacon's SON there at the
same time, aud he told me he learned to play
''oid sledge" On the hay-mOw when his father
was reading commentaries. 1t is Il fact, and
not matter OF laughter, and that same young
man died drunkard and gambler. He
lived in the Connecticut valley, and could
give you his fathers name it was so dis
posed. bob" t,ld me more than dozen
times if his father had only played some kind
of game with him-''if be had only been hu-
man with me, Deacon Murray" said he, 81
should have been church member just as
you are" want you to understand was a
deacon then. | think ''Bob' was right. So
l say to you play whist with your boys; play
dominoes or checkers--in fact, any pleasant,
healthy game. Read poetry with them, for
boys like poetry; if not, read bear stories.
Get him to read to you and here let me say
that this is one of the best possible ways to
keep your boys at home. and one of the most
beneficial in its effects. Teach them to feel
that you are dependent upon them for CON-
pany. So l say to you, make your home
happy in a way that boys like, and not in the
way that some churches like. Boys are
worth more than church forms, for boys are
germs of angels, or else they are the seeds
out of which devils spring, If felt that
my boy would eat peanuts in church, that he
would so to sleep because he was not inter-
ested, should spend one-halt of the day un-
der the hedges or by some running spring. l
should preach to that boy in way that would
make him forget his peanuts and sleeping in
church. The running spring should remind
him of that fountain of living water which
flows from the throne of God If there was
a bit of sea, it should remind him of that sea
of crystal before the throne of God. If there
was an empty acorn, it should remind him of
the temple of clay out of which the spirit
has departed. All things should be service
to God. The fields and the skies should be
the church. and that boy should be made
follower of Christ in that way, because he is
best adapted to that kind of service.

MAKE ME- A SONG.

Out of the silences make me song,
Beautiful, sad and soft and low:
Let the loneliest music sound along
And wing each note with wall Of woe.
Dim and drear
As hopes last tear.
Out of the silences make me hymn,
Whose sounds are shadows soft and dim,
Out of the stillnesses in your heart
A thousand songs are sleeping there
Make me but one, thou child of art,
The song of hope in last despair,
Dark and low,
A chant Of woe,
Ont of the stillnesses, tone by tone,
Soft as a snowflake. wild as a moan.
Out of the darknesses flash me song,
Brightly dark and darkly bright;
Let ii sweep as lone star sweeps along
The mystical shadows of the night,
Sing it sweet,
Where nothing is drear, or dark, or dim,
And eaTth-songs melt into heavens hymn.

LAND AND WATER, in an article on cariiage
manufacture, says that great difficulty is ex-
perienced in England in getting first-rate ar
tisans to perform the work. which increases
the serious nature of foreign competition.
Unionists steadily oppose the use OF machin-
cry, although the work executed by it's bet
ter and more certain than that of hand labor.
And here it is that other nations, Americans
in particular, have an advantage, the wood
work, such as wheels ETC., supplied by them,
being much better than can possibly be at
tained in England. The importation of
American made hickory wheels is now very
extensive and increasing daily. -

A MASSACHUSETTS railroad has been plum
ing itself on the idea that it had the narrow
est gauge in the world, and had the smallest
cars of any steam railroad. Now Cincinnati
steps forward and shows railroad that is
hard to beat in the line OF smallness. It is
ten and half inch gauge, laid in the usual
manner, and the motive power is q locomo-
tive of the prevailing pattern, whose boiler is
three and half feet long, and driver eight
inches in diameter. The engine draws ten
der and five cars, each car running upon four
wheeled trucks and holding two people.

Does anv one care aught for father?
Does any one think of the one
Upon whose tired, bent shoulders,
The cores of the family come?
The father who strives for your comfort,
And tolls ON from day to day:
Although his steps ever grow slower,
And his dark locks are turning to gray.
Does any one think of the due bills
He is called upon daily to pay,
Milliner billie, college bills, doctor bills,
There are some kind of bills every day,
Like patient horse in tread-mill,
He works on from morning till night,
Does any one think he is tired,
Does any one make his home bright?
Is 1t right, just because he looks troubled,
To say he's as cross as q bear?
Kind words. little actions of kindness,
Might Danish his burden of care,
'Tis for you he is ever so anxious,
He will toll for you while he may live,
In return he only asks kindness.
And such pay is easy to give.

THE BUCKETS.

Up and down, down and up,
The buckets rose and fell,
Whene'er we filed the thirsty cup
Down by the messy well.
Down and up, up and down!
Through all the summer day
Their nectar washed the dusky frown
From Labor's brow away.
Up and down, down and up,
One empty as it fell;
one br;mnlng like the fabled cup
That Bacchus loved so well.
I'd and down-Why these sighs?
What means this great distress?
mo matter how well-tilled rise,
fall in emptyness."
Down and up-"Ah, but stop!
\ better song I'll sing;
Though bear down not one sweet drop
thousands upward bring"
Up and down, like spell!
This same refrain we sing,
While in life's deep, unfathomed we'll
Our hearts like buckets swing.
Up and down. down and up!
Though heart to fond heart calls,
While one takes Joys full-brimmirg cup,
Another empty falls.

gun to bear, but before he could bring
it to a level several parties rushed in and
threw the gun up, thus saving Smiths

men were then with some difficulty dis
armed. 1t was close call for Smith and
he can congratulate himself on the fact
that he is now alive and well.
Gold Hill News: Not long since a
widow living in Virginia, received So, 500.
She took tito n prominent stock broker,
and asked his opinion as to the best in
vestment for the money. She was told
to buy Sierra Nevada, then selling at
5000, and Mexican at 800, and did 30.
During the decline which followed i'm
| mediately thereafter she was called upon
for more money, but was unable to re-
spond. She had, however, some rare
diamonds. which she had saved from q
high estate maintained by her husband
and herself in an early day of prosperity
on the Comstock, and these she gave in
keeping to the broker, and felt easy.
During the late crash she was again
called on for more margins, and being
still unable to comply with the request,
was sold out. She lost her $500 and
her diamonds, which are now worn by
the brokers wife. There is no romance
tive reality, and but one Of many such
now existing on the Comstock.

County.

AS unit in interest with the
growing prosperity of our State, and
more especially of that portion known
as South Florida, which, forsooth, has
fallen far short of its Just proportion
of public allowances, being less esti-
mated according to its high scale of
merit than its northern boundary, al
low me, through your paper, to pre-.
sent to the public (by way Of intro
duction to the foreshadowing Of i'm

lative to that portion of the above
named county called Crystal River.
In the last two years the mercantile
business of this place has increased
three-fold, being an emporium from
the necessities ofthe adjacent country
in the total absence of railroad facili-
ties. The building up of the town
has been retarded because of unset
tied rights to the land. The old citi-
zens who composed the population of
the town and its vicinity up to the
present time are not in arrears, III
moral point of view, to those of older
settled places. They are church
going people and pay the preachers.
The education Of their children is
prosecuted with a zeal that might
adorn the highest ranks of civilization.
1t is true they have no base ball club
nor debating society, but they have
Sunday School.
Having given you fair specimen
of the old settlers, allow me space in
which to note few facts relative to
our new settlers. We are having
weekly accessions to our county gulf
coast from the state of Pennsylvania,
and, to say the least, fernando may
feel proud of the acquisition. All of
her old citizens should extend the
