Il CURTAIN LECTURE.

u3Or.M.
WHAT! 60 TO the country this summer
Now that's too absurd, Mr.. b.
To bury the girls in a farmhouse,
Where never man they will see.
How can you expect them to marry?
You haven't the money to spend3
tell YOU that's all stuff and nonsense.
You find it Gusts most in the end.
When they re left ON your hands for u lifetime
You'll wish YOU had listened to me,
And rctrcnched in come other direction

I've told every body we're going

And now to come down to the country!

Ii don't matter much about me,
Ent the girls will be 40 DISAPPOINTED
It's cruel, it is, Mr.. b.
The Grays have asked Julia to Newport;
worked hard enough. am sure,
To yet her invited last winter:
Must she write now and say she's too pOOr
To buy a respectable Outft9
What excuse shc can make don't know.
And it never will do to offend them:
Indeed. MIR. b., she mast 60!
They move in the very hest circlcs;
Its chance that she oughtn' to miss;
Id never have given that party,
IL Id thought it WINS coming to this.
Don't tell me that coal shares have fallen!
That's the way with you-Off upon stocks,
Whenever ask for dollar
Or tell You the girls want new trucks.
Seems To- me, to he risking your money
In this way is very unwise;
And if You will do it, why don't you
Invest in something that will rise?
You knew how We all hate the country,
- And just because board there is cheap
To ask us tO go there this summer
Mr. b., believe you re asleep!

One Of the Most Remarkable Cases of
AnchylOsis ON Record.

In the year 1848, q boy then eighteen
years of age by the name of Jonathan
K. Bass, lived with George w. Rogers,
Of this city, in house on the ground
now occupied by the Lockport Journal
Building. One evening while on his
way to q pasture field above High
street, for the COWS, he was taken with
a severe pain in the bottom of his right
foot. He supposed at first that nail
was hurting him, but upon examine
ton he could find nothing. That night
and for number Of days his foot was
swollen very badly and was exceeding
ly painful, and then got better, but
was more or less troublesome after
that. In the fall of 1849, he went to
Avon four months, but got no better.
That winter he attended school at our
Union School, and in the spring went
to Buffalo for time, meanwhile get
ting little worse. For q few months
of the following summer he was able
to act as Captain of q canal boat, which
he ran between Buffalo and Rochester.
He did no work, however. After that
he went to G. w. Eastman's CONNER
cial School at Waterville, Oneida Coun-
ty, and in 1853 kept books for Hall &
Co., Of Buffalo, but, continuing to grow
worse, had to give up his place, and
came to his home in Cambria. In
1864-5. he did little writing for parties
in Lockport, and in sc was very bad,
and suffered very much; all the joints
Of the body and limbs becoming more
or less affected by this time. In
1852, he was put on an invalid bed,
made by Moore & Glass, Of this
city, from which he has never been
removed. He could manage. however,
with . good deal Of difficulty, to feed
himself Tor eight years after that, since
which time he has been fed with .

Boys Rights : by q boy.

TALK about the women and the d;sr-
kies, and the-the-all the rest of 'em;
none of 'em all are half 50 badly used
Us boys are. l know a'lOt and can give
you all their names. Ask 'cm all.
They'll tell you, to be boy is to be
somebody without a right in the world.
You're to take all the sass that's
given to you, and give none back,
cause you're a boy. You are to pay
full fare in the cars and omnibusses,
cause you're a boy, and not a child,
and never have scat, because you're
a boy and not man. Fat lady gets in
after it's all full, and looks about her;
everybody looks ut you. Old gentle
man says, my son. reprovingly.
Conductor says, "Come now, you boy!'
You've paid your sixpence. No matter,
that's nothing. You have been on your
legs with bundle all day. Who cares?
you're boy! Now a horse has such a
load given to him as he can carry, and
a man won't take any more than he
can walk under. Ask boys what grown
folks think they can carry. There is no
limit to it.
Who doesn't know q boy who does a
mans work, and does it we'll for a
tenth of what man would get for it?
Who hasn't seen an advertisement for q
boy who writes a good hand, under
stands accounts, is willing to made
himself useful, boards with Els parents,
is trustworthy, no objections to his sit
ting up all night, no imprudence about
him, the best recommendations re-
quired, and two dollars week wages?
Ask boys whether old folks don't
make as much fuss about such places
as if they were doing you favor that
would set you up in life.
Who wants boy anywhere? Your
sisters don't in the parlor. Your father
don't; he always asks if you are not
wanted to do something somewhere.
You make your mothers head ache
every time you come near her. Old
ladies snap you up. Young ladies hate
boys. Young men tease you, and give
it to YOU if you tease back. Other
fellOws-it's because they're aggra-
waited so, know-always want to fight,
if they don't know you; and when you
get black eye and torn jacket, you
hear of it at home.
You look back and wonder if you
ever were that pretty little fellow in
petticoats that everybody stuffed with
candy; and you wonder whether you'll
ever be man, to be liked by the girls,
and treated politely by the other fell
lows, paid for your work, and allowed
to do as you choose. And you make
up your mind every day not to be boy
anv 1Onunr than vn1, can holm r.. and
when your grandfather or somebody
complains that there arc "nO boys
now,' you wonder if he remembers the
life he led, that he don't consider it as
subject of rejoicing.
There is only one comfort in it all;
boys will grow up, and when they do,
they generally forget all they went
through in their youth, and make the
boys of their day suffer just as they did.

To Keep the Boys on the Farm.

IT is very natural for parents to pre-
fer that their children should follow
the same business or profession that
they themselves follow. This is likely
to be true of shoemakers, merchants,
not exceptions to this rule.
Farming. when well conducted, is u
good and pleasant business. If our
sons and daughters do not like it, there
is almost always some good reason for
their dislike. have often taken an in
terest in tracing out the reasons. They
are likely to dislike farming because
they are not pleased with the way in
which their parents have managed it.
In some cases the young person has q
very decided inclination to some other
business.
If you want to make your son like his
business, place him in responsible
places, trust him, consult him about the
work he is to do. Let him do part of
the thinking. Give him nearly the sole
care or responsibility Of something on
the farm; the fowls, the pigs, some of
the other stock, some of the crops, or
the garden, or a part of it Suppose
he docs not do everything just as you
would; advise him. 1t is much better
that he should fail while he is yet
young and has time to learn under your
training, than to not try or fail till he
goes into business for himself. BY
treating children in this way they will
take more interest in their work, and
will be much more likely to succeed
when they start for themselves. DO
not make slaves of your children.
Too many of our most prominent
farmcrs-farmers who are called the
most successful-send their children
to work each day as they would send
an ignoramus, without any ''ifs'' or
lands" or reasons for SO doing.
For want of proper training in this
respect, many 4 young man has grown
up without mental discipline. He has
been able without much help, in an
incredibly short space Of time, to run
through all that his strcng-minded
father left him. Twenty years ago 1
knew such a man. His farm was
called and known as perfection for a
long distance around. He had a son,
who is to-day living in sight of this
old farm. He owns only poor span
of horses, and is living from hand to
mouth; and very poor living he gets
at that. The fine estate slipped easily
and rapidly from the hand of the son
who had no skill to manage it, because
he had never been placed in respon-
sible positions while he was a boy.
So too often one generation makes
money for the next to squander. In
laying up comfortable fortunes for our
children to waste we are doing them a
great injury. Better by far to spend
more Of our time in giving them a
proper discipline to manage well.
Then, if they are healthy, in most
cases, they need only q little start to
make them we'll off in the goods of this
world.-Prof. W. j. BeaL, Of Michigan
agricultural College.
