A Word to Boys.

1iow can We hccome gentlemen ?
How can boy goabout making him.
self one? Can he work for it? Yes
lie can. And the harder he works
for it in the right way, tho better.
But he must study with his eyes aud
his cars. Reading books and news.
papers is not en,ngh. He must
think and feel, as we'll as speak and
act. Can he buy it? No, he can not.
Money will buy gool many things,
but it will not buy what makes ),
gentleman. If yon have money. YOU
can go to n shop and buy clothes.
Bul hat. coat, panls and boots do not
make gentleman. They make q
ion, and sometimes come near max
ing fool. Money will buy dogs AMI
horses, but how many dogs and horse,
do you think it would take to make
gentleman ? Let no boy, therefore,
think he is to be made gentleman bv
the clothes he wears, the horse he
rides, the stick he carries, the dog
that trots after him, the i,ousc he
lives in, or the money he spends. Not
one or any Of these will do it-lnd vot
every boy may be a gentleman. But
how! BY being true. manly, and
honorable. BY keeping himself neat
and respectable. BY being civil and
courteous. By respecting himself
and lcspecting others. BY doing the
best he knows how. And finally, and
above all, by fearing God and keen
ing his commandments.

friends? I? Their attentions may be
pleasant to our vanity and conceit,
aDd keep us in the bes of humor
with ourselves, and we may think
their company very desirable, yet
they will not do to put faith in, for
their amiable behavior is often the
cloak for self-interest. The person
who will tell us our .aults-kindly, of
course-who will try to teach US to

Will show by acts rather than words
that he kindly regards u, is more
worthy of trus, than one tho agrees
with all our sentiments, right or

Experience the Best Teacher.

jim Hemphill, co'ored preacher
Of the vicinity of B!ackstock, moved
to Kansas Il year or So ago. He h.s
returned with the intention of living
and dying in his native county and
State. Just before his return con.
siderable number of his old colored
friends were violently attacked with
the Kausas emigration fever, but
when they saw Hemphiil, and listen
ed to his gloomy tale Of "blooiy
Kansas" they abandoned their Wild
scheme, and determined to stick and
stay by OLD Chester They prefer
their good comfortable house to tho
dirt huts their clerical brother told
them about; they prefer fire place
blazing with abundance of wood to a
stove scantiiy supplied with coal;
they prefer the warm pleasant eli
maze here to the rigors Of the North
west. In short they prefer good easy
times at home to hard lie abroad.
This accounts for the sensible conclu-
sion at which they have arrived

cultivation orthe peach.

Mr.. Philo Clark, OF this town, writes as
follows to the Connecticut Farmer:---l
wish to state through tho Farmer the
success Mr., William Platt, of this place,
has had In the cultivation Of the peach.
His orchard is located on the summit of
the hill, one or two hundred feet above the
valley. Nine years ago he set out about
100 trees, procured from some nursery,
and they have borne an abundance OF fruit
for five years. This year he has had
over one hundred bushels, and two years
ago alb out as ma ~ more of this luscious
fruit, and now, most of the trees are
thrifty and probably good for two OF
three years longer. He cultirates the
ground thoroughly, and very often he
rakes in little corn about the trees for
the hens to scratch out, by that means
keeping the soil around them free from
worms and insects that iGjure The trees
as chickens, like other bipeds, are fond of
meat with there other food. Thus Mr..
Plutt by their industry is not only often
able to fill up the egg basket, but also
hundreds OF baskets of the choice fruit.
/ believe there are hundreds OF farmers
in this State who can raise peaches as well
as he. l think the location has much to &c
with it, as | have long observed thai
! peach trees planted on an exposed SIT
uation or on land inclining to the north
were not as liable to be troubled by
worms, and killed by spring frosts as i'll
warmer localities.
Mr.. Platt is very earnest in what
ever he undertakes, and is one that be
lieves whatever is worth doing at all, is
worth doing well, rs anyone will be con
vinced on seeing his fine grounds 1fllct
with vigorous fruit trees, raspberries ant
strawberries. If othcts, who have favor
able locations, will pursue his mode o
culture / have no doubt they will sue
coed. Mr.. Platt is sanguin tho farmers
of Connecticut can raise all the peaches
required for home conoumtiOn.

A very important order has Just been
issued by the Postmaster-General,w which
should be needed by all the people. 1t
has been very common custom for let
ter-writers in directing their epistles to
leave off the name Of the State. Thus, ii
they wanted to send their letters to Bos-
ton, they would leave off - Mass ;" but
as there are several BostoQs in the cOun-
try, the POstmasters could not tell posi-
lively where to send the letters there
are hundred of thousands of similar cases
in the country at large. BY this decision
no letter directed to IL person i'll New York
City would go there, but would be sent to
the Dead Letter office: the writer must
not only write New York City, but also
n. Y. The now rule will certainly result
in IL more perfect delivery Of letters and
papers, if it is observed: but the danger
is that not one person in ten will ever
know of the rule, and consequently will
have their letters sent 10 the Dead Letter
Office.

r. r. Col. Wright of, Newtown, has
been here during the week, making sur
vcys to ascertain the actual amount of
land to be purchased in the borough
Thore is a complication in the affairs of
this road that undoubtedly keeps it at a
stand still. The New York & New Haven
Company are using every possible effort
to keep matters quiet. The Pennsylya-
mia Central are anxious to make a con-
nection, also the Erie. The Harlem is
interested, and the Elevated Road. Be
tween them all the New England natur-
ally waits the highest bidder. The road
Is a reality, and sooner or later Danbury is
to be benefited by therosult, Then why
delay matters by eXorbitant prices for the
ri ht Of way? There is possibility of
the road being driven to Bethel and Dan
burp left out in the cold. The boy with
his hand in the fruit jar was so grasping
and seized so much that he was unable
to extract it. The completion Of this
road is matter of interest to all our cit
liens and not straw should be laid in
the way; on the contrary all possible fnr
therance should be given.

kMUSE M EN- rs.

TO sock for proper amusement Is the
duty OF sensible people, but in these days,
outside OF purely social recreations,
there seems q great lack Of means. or
all the myriad shows that are traversing
tho country, but very small proportion
Of them are worthy Of patronage from in
tclligeat people. They arc mainly coarse
and vulgar, calculated to raise a yell OF
appreciation from the hoodlums of the
gallery, but only excite IL d6risive smile
from people of taste. In fact they seem
to cater 20 tho taste OF the gallery only,
furnishing q staple that the gallery can
appreciate. The coarsest kind of buff
fooncry, exccruble attempts at singing
and generally OF an equally execrablc
class Of music, with the gyratlons of
song and dance artlsts(O for the staple of
amusements offered us. Rational, we'll
bred people consequently do not furnish
Thorn much patronage.
The fault, however. Is not altogether
that of the showmeu. They furnish such
amusemonts as they find best pleases
those who frequent the concert halls. a
large part Of the blame must be attached
to those of our people, who, while they
dislike the ordinary show of the day, fail
TO give their patronage to such us render
better class of entertainment. The de-
mand creates corresponding supply
and were our people to make point Of
patronizing such entertainments as they
ascertain are worthy of their encourage
mant, We should soon have more Of them,
with IA corresponding diminution Iof the
poorer grade. In their absence, those
who have patronized them would begin
to attend those OF u higher grade, and an
improvement III their taste would natu-
rally and inevitably follow. Our young
folks must have recreation, and if they
cannot procure the best, they will take
that which offers. In view of these facts
we should encourage all entertainments
of q good class, and thus enable them to
continue in their business, while we sys-
Dramatically absent ourselves from those
which are only debasing in their tenden-
cy, and which, while they amuse class, |
leave only pernicious tendency behind.
