a full sized Brazilian jaguar, one of

car of the train after it left this city.
just before leaving, some twenty
tramps were elected from the train,
but one, who had escaped detection,
remained on this car, and when about
thirty miles out he opened the side of
the cage by the use of a long, stout
stick, with which he pushed up the
sliding bar of the door.
The animal leaped like light

The Future Of the Boys.

Little boys, what is your fatureY
whittier are you going! what is your
proposed destination? To these in
terrogations, you viii doubtless answer.
our future Is bright and hopeful, weare
tending to manhood, which we hope
viii be not only respectable and
YSa know, that to realize these bright
hopes. you have no time ts lose, no
enegies to waste. You know, that
every energy and effort should be pus
forth in the direction of right. But
some will say, "there can be no harm
in one drink We will risk a few
dnnks, we have a curiosity to 10
drunk once. Just to see hos 10 feels.
or To be social ar manly. We can
quit when We wish. we are masters
of ourselves, we viii enjoy our liher-
ties One drink, my young friends,
is a step down the sleep; q few drinks
are just a few steps further down, and
by the time you have been on social
drunk or two, you will ind. that 10
retraee is difficult. and should You
finally succeed in regaining your former
stand, you will then have to start to
the goal you first had in view, with
wasted energies, and with the pollution
of disgrace about your character.
But many who make the venture.
will never retrace their steps, bus
downward their course will be, until
they reach the depth Of degradation
and ruin, and finally drunkard's
grave. and a drunkard's he'll. Young
friends is this not a faithful analogyY
Is Dot this a true picture? Does
noe your own observation teach you
that the picture Is rot over drawn?
You know that no one takes the frsy
glass with the view of being drunk.
ard, and you know taa, that Il the FIRST
glass is never turned TO your lips, you
viii never be drunkard, nor will YOU
have to 're,race your steps. Then as
in the first picture, YOU say it IS wise
not to venture ON the backward and
downward grade" So in youth. and
while yGu stand upon level, take
not a backward step. drink not tha
first glass, and a bright future is before
you. Boys. look to your future. Il

of fashionable life, thus setting an ex-
ample to their poor neighbOrs whose
noses are now kept to the grindstone
in order to demonstrate that part of
the theory of our government that all

A truly honest, honorable, benevo-

When you hear a man continually
Boosting of his good qualities, look out

Many Of our old men are in the
habit of telling how they were raised.
wearing wool hats, tow linen shirts
aud pants, working hard and going
bare footed. They don't raise their
boys that way now, but the way they
do raise them makes it highly proba-
Bile that many of their grandchildren
will see much worse times: they, the
grandchildren, not having good, so-

The man who strives TO be great in
good and noble deeds often becomes
popular; but the man who strives
mainly at being popular seldom be-

The world has no doubt made great
advancement in the arts and sciences,
and general diffusion of knowledge
but in strength and vigor of indiyidu-
al intellect, sublimity of thought, and
conception, and high-souled honor and
patriotism it has retrcgraded.
