Bows and Pistols.

One real boy is so important part Of
the household that we must copy what
that famous outin-the-woods preacher,
Pulpit, says about boys and
pistols in the St. Nicholas for January:
II never could understand" the Dea.
con said, why boy should carry pis-
tol. A pistol is very peculiar iirearm;
it is made for very peculiar purpose.
1t is quite natural for some boys to want
rifles or shotguns, with which they may
kill game; but pistol is intended to kill
human beings, and this is about all that
it is good for There are very few boys
in this country who could shoot bird or
a rabbit with pistol, and any one who
should go out hunting with a pistol
would be laughed at This being the
case, why should boy want a pistol?
What human beings would he like to
kill?
ut is useless to say that he may need
his pistol for purposes of defense Not
one boy in thousand is ever placed in
such position that he need defend him.
self with pistol But it often has hap
pened that boys who carried loaded pis-
thing, under certain circumstances, to
use them, and yet, when the time came
and they killed somebody, they only
brought down misery on themselves and
their families. And this, too, in many
a case where, if no one present had had
pistol, the affair would have passed off
harmlessly, and been soon forgotten.
but the way in which boys generally
take human life with pistols is some ac-
cidental way. They do not kill highway
men and robbers, but they kill their
schoolmates, or their brothers, or their
sisters, or, in many cases, themselves.
There is no school where boys are taught
to properly handle and carry loaded pis-
tolls, SO they usually have to learn these
things by long practice. And while they
are learning, it is very likely that some
one will be shot. l saw in newspaper,
not along ago, accounts of three fatal &C
cidents. all of which happened on the
same day, from the careless use of fire.
arms. And one of these dreadful mis-
haps was occasioned by a lad who carried
a loaded pistol in his overcoat pocket,
and carelessly threw down the coat.
And then, again, a boy ought to be
ashamed to carry pistol, especially a
loaded one. The possession of such a
thing is proof that ne expects to go
among vicious people If he goes into
good society, and has honest, manly fell
lows for his companions, he will not
need a pistol. A loaded pistol in boy 8
pocket is not only useless and dangerous,
but also it almost always stamps him as
bad boy, or one who wishes to associate
with bad boys and vicious men"
