by Il. single boatmnn by means of a
doub G ended paddle, similar to that
used with the Merriman suit. The
boat went skim ming about over the

advantages would seem to be the dis
patch with which it could be brought
into service and launched by one m III
alone, and its non-li,bility to be
swamped y the breakers.
Since writing the above we have
learned that the name Of the gentle.

boat with SO much skill is Capt. Will

Of the yacht Winwool, which secured
so many prizes in the races last sea

What to Teach Boys.

a philosopher has said that truo
education for boys is to "teach them
what they ought to know when they
become men," What is tthey ought
to know, then? First-To be true
to be genuine. No education is worth
anything that does not include this.
A man had better never learn let
ter in the alphabet, and be true and
genuine i'll intention, in action, rath .r
than being learned in al sciences
and all languages, to be at the same
time false in heart, and counterfeit in
life. Above all things teach tue boy
that truth is more than riches, more
than culture, more than earthly pow.
er or position. Second To be pure
in thought, language, and life pure
in mind and body. An impure mau,

where he moves with srhutty stories
and impure examples, is M oral ulcer,

Third-To be unselish, to care for
the feelings and comforts Of others;t,
be polite, to be generous, noble, aii,s
manly. This will include genuine
reverence for the aged, and things
sacred. Fourth To be seli-reliant
and self-helpful, even from early
childhood be Industrious always,
and sclf.supporiing 1T the eariiest

idle, useless life of dependence on
others is disgraccful. When a boy
has learned thes. four things, when he

The old adage running to the effect
that fortunes grow out of pennies, was
tolerably we'll eNemplifed in a matter
that came under our notice recently.
During the summer of 1860 resident OF
this city drew considerable amount OF
money out of a savings bank, leaving on
deposit balance of AZ cents, although,
had he waited three or four days longer,
ne would have found his account credited
with an additional SO representing inter-
est. One day last week he was overhaul
ing some papers and came across the long
neglected pass-book. A friend who was
present jokingly purchased the book for
I'll from its possessor, who hastily figured
up the amount as now amounting to
$3.50. Butwhen the friend allowed him
to repurchase the book at tritling adj
vance because the books of the bank
showed that $29.75 was the exact amount
to which he was entitled, his astonish-
ment may be better imagined than de-
scribed.
