A LOVE- OF READING.-It is the fault OF sys-
tenn which brings the community up in the
idea that poor knowledge OF the rudiments
OF reading, writing, and arithmetic constitutes
ia itself an education. Now, on the contrary,
it seems to me that the true object, the great
end OF the common school system, Is some
thing more than to teach children 70 read; It
should, il it is to accomplish its full mission,
also impart to them love OF reading. Having
started the child by means OF what we call
common school course-having, as it were
taugh. IT to walk-the process of further sell
education is to begin. The great means OF self
education is through books, Through much
reading Of bo"wa But just here there is in our
system Of ice. ;tion missing link. In our
schools We I, II children to read; we do not
teach them only to read. That. the one all
important Il, w, the great connecting link be-
tween meaner.nd end, that one link We !make
no effors tirsupply. As long as we do not
make an effort to supply il, our school system
in its results is, and will remain miserably de-
ncieni.-Charles Francis Adams.

WHERE Is YOUR BOY? WHAT IS HE DO
ING? WHO ARE HIS ASSOCIATES
WHAT Is HE READING?

WHAT is HE READlNt?
Written for The True Northerner.
Father, mother, when your boy is not a
home, or with you, do you know what places he
is frequenting, and DO you understand thei,
true character? Do you know,-yes, you mus
know-that If he is in the street, or visiting bar
rooms or saloons he is learning to be rough and
ungentlemanly IN his manners, to deceive, to
lie, TO smoke to chew, to swear, to bet, to gam
BILE, to drink and to steal? Do you know that
his associates are kind and obedent to their
parents; respectful to those who are older than
they; kind and unselish to one another; hon
est and truthful at all times gentemany in
their general department +; their language free
from profanity aud obscenity? Or are they
rough, low and vulgar? Do you realizs that
with however much OF the right kind or home
training your boy may receive at your hands,
the associations OF bis boyhood and youth Will
have much to do with the makeup OF his char =
acter? Do you know that that ragged. dirty,
street arab whom you pass by without look, or
If you do notice him it Is with a feeling Of dis
gust, is this very day eEertng a greater infu-
ence over your boy than you arc, and that that
influence tends toward the JAIL the wolkhouse,
the prison, the galows, and the final destruc-
tion OF body and soul IL IN coming years you
are brought to see your son suffer the penalty
OF an offended law, can it be said OF him, "it is
his own fault; his home -training was wisely
administered and his associates judclously
chosen IN his boyhood?
Do you take any notice of the class OF read
ing in which your boy ls interested?
In this day of, not only light and trashy, but
really dangerous literature, you cannot look too
closely to this branch OF your sons education.
The ideas, the desires and aspirations with
which his mind IS filed through this channel
now, will follow him through life, and prove
either blessing or curse to him. One of the
very worst and most dangerous habits into
which the boys are falling is that OF reading the
low, vile, trashy, senseless, harmful literature
Of to-day. 1t is TO be lamented that the pub
fishers and booksellers OF our land, in time
when there is such multiplicity OF channels
through which wealth, or, to say the least, a
good living may be secured and something laid
up besides, should resort to the destruction of
minds and wrecking OF lives by printing and
sowing broadcast through the land such read
ing matter as is found in the Nickel Library,
Sporting Life, Young America, Wild Oats, New
York Ledger, and other papers Of like nature
There ought to be law against it as much as
against the publication and sale of obscene lit
eraturs. The parents who do not guard and
direct with the greatest care the bent OF the
child's inclinations in this matter are recreant
to the best aud highest trust that can possibly
be reposed in them,-the character OF human
being. w. 2. STOCKING.

The New York Herald has a
! eulogy for the Chinaman- Il SET
| dom speaks of him in comparison

but in derogation OF the latter.
Here is what it has to say, allud-
ing to the disgraceful mob which
recently took place at Denver,
Colorado:
The Chinaman never stands

laundryman washes clothes as
cheaply as white women do; he
does the work no cheaper, but lie
always does it well, and the clothes
! always come home full count AID
not mixed with those of some other
person or family. All is severe on
quarrelgome, lazy laborsrs, rum
shop loafers and the heavy brutes
who live on money earned By their
wives at the washtub.
Admitting that drinking at bar
rooms is an American custom that
would be "more honored in the
breach than the observance" and
vas still have the fact that the
money SO expended finds ils way
back to the benefit of nearly every
branch of industry in the community
while the savings Of the Cinnamon
are boarded to be sent or taken
back to his home in the "Flowery
Kingdom. He does his washing
cheaper, but not better, than white
women, aud his presence is obnoxi-
Gus, for tie reason that he deprivea
these same white women, by cutting
under their prices, of the food with
which to support their children. As
to the coming home efthe clothes"

FUTURE PROGRESS .

The year 1881 promises to be a
q very prosperous one for Arizona,
All circumstances seem to combine
to make it so. Its early part will
see the S. p. r. z. connected with
the East and the Atlantic & Pacific
Iailrcad well advanced into Arizona
and, perhaps, the Central Arizona
railroad built to beyond Phnlix Oh
lis way to connect the Southern
Pacific with the A. & 2. There
is no denying that these three rail
roads viii immensely advance the
prosperity and progress of our Ter
ritory. The two former viii bring
hundreds of investors who have
heretofore been kept away by the
long and arduous journey by way
of Sau Francisco and VIII make Ar
iona easier of access than Califor-
MIA or Colorado. They will bring
travellers into the heart of the min
ing regions with little or no staging.
Governor Fremont assured us re-
Gently that Eastern capitalists were
thoroughly disguised with Leadville
properties and were turning toward
Arizona with 4 view to investing
their cash in its numerous rich
mines. Salt River Valley will have
occasion to rejoice for there is no
reasonable doubt that hundreds of
tillers of the soil viii, attracted by
its easy access, POM into this fer
tile country, take up farms and
identify themselves with the coun-
try. Along the line of the A. &
=. are coal beds unequalled by any
IN the world, excepting perhaps
those of Pennsylvania, also lodges
of great wealth Of copper and tin,
that can only be developed with the
aid of railroad. Thousands of
tourists viii annually visit the ire
mendous aud sublime gorges and
canyons for which Arizona has
been celebrated and it will not be
long hence when Arizona viii take
it's place as one of the States Of
our glorious Union.

was at Aqua Fria station, kept by
