KILLING THE CHILDREN.

Nothing is more certain than that the
American people pay to little attention To
physical health. The man who has built
up from little or nothing business which
at last dominates his time. thought and
energies. is beyond counsel, nobody is
competent to advise him. and he would
not or cannot accept it if offered. The
woman who has given herself up to the
care and advancement of her family until
she has lost all inclination for company or
for travel. is in like ease. But the chill
dren; are they to be inducted into the
same all-dcvournG conduct of life ? Is
the so-called education worth it Is the
prospective rise in the social scale worth
it Is the mere matter of money-making
worth it
Beautiful exceedingly are the boys and
girls who will rerew their studies in Sep
tember. Overlooking with life. prompted
by ambition, crude or intelligent, careless
OF their strength, they should be directed
by wisdom nurtured in patience. The
doctors now and again utter words of
warning. which the school authorities treat
with contempt; the school managers re
monstrate with the parents who neglect
the admonitions. The vitality of the chill
dren is impaired, if not ruined. The end
aimed at is not reached because everybody
is in too much hurry. We put governor
on the steam engine, but we unite in crowd
inc the steam into the lives of the young
without much regard to regulator or safe
ty-valve. Pr0tideRce Joufnal

4 FRrIT-DEiLER'S PRACTICAL JOKE.

Yesterday n truit-dealer on Market street

Il basket. labelled 1t New Zealand Cher

in front of his stand. In q few minutes
the neXt-door merchant sauntered up, in
1uired how trade was. picked up New
Zealand cherry, placed it in his mouth.
and suddenly left to attend to Il customer.
The Rev. DIR. BOllv next rounded to, OBJ

Memphis was not very encouraging this
morning, and-ah it had been years since
he had eaten New Zealand cherry;
whercupon he ate one, remarked that 1t

the dealer good morning and departed.

eyes in the sunlight.
A chr mic dead beat then came up, took
a mouthful of cherries, spluttered them
out, with an imprecaton. all over the fruit.
stuffed pear. banana and bunch OF
grapes into his mouth to take out the taste,
told the dealer he would have him prose
cuted for keeping green fruit. and went
down the street to the pump. Alady with
two children next appeared. stopped to
admire the cherries, asked if she mighn't
just taste of them-she never had seen any
before--supplied the children and walked
away with a face fiery with scorn and an
ger, while the children set up howl that
brought all the people to the doors and
windows and drove all the policemen off
the street.
Thus the fun went on all the morning.
The fluut-dealer never laughed so much in
all his life. The occupants OF the adjacent
and opposite stores and n shoal of small
boys soon learned what was up, and
watched and joined in a ringing roar as
each new victim tried the cherries. Final

up, inquired the price of them ere New
Zealand cherries, invested in pint, put
one in his mouth. took il out again. gave
the fruit dealer lingering look of mild
reploach, pulled of his coat and "waded
into" him. When he left the fruitman
with tendencies tn practical Jokes had n
blue eye, red nose. purple face,
sprained wrist and several bushels of fruit
scattered around among the small boys,
while the same ringing roar of laughter
was going up from the lookers-on.-LO
