WHAT TO TEACH BOYS.
A philosopher has said that true educa.
ton for boys is to teach them what they
ought TO know when they become men,
What is it they ought to know, then2
First, To be true, to be genuine. No ed
ucation is worth anything that does not
include this. \ man had better not
know how to read-he had better never
learn a letter In the alphabet, and be
true and genuine in intention and ac-
tion-rather than, being learned in all
sciences and all languages, to be at the
same time false in heart and counterfeit
in life. Above all things teach the boys
that truth is more than riches, more than
culture, more than earthly power or po-
sition. Second, To be pure in thought,
language and llie-purc III mind and in
body. An impure man, young or old,
poisoning the society where he moves
with smutty stores and impure exam
pies, is a moral ulcer, a plague-spot, a
leper, who ought to be treated as were
the lcpers of old who were banished
from society. and compelled to cry 'un-
clean as a warning to save others from
the pestilence. Third, To be unselfish;
to care for the feelings and comforts of
others; to be polite, to be generous, no.
BILE and manly This will include gen.
uine reverence for the aged and things
sacred. Fourth. To be self-reliant and
self-hclpful, even from early childhood;
to be industrious, always, and self-sup-
porting at the earliest proper age. Teach
them that all honest work is honorable,
and that an idle, useless life of depend
cnce on others is disgraceful When a
boy has learned these four things, when
he has made these ideas part of his
being, however young he may be, how
ever rich or however poor, he has learn
ed some OF the most important things
he ought to know when he becomes. a
man. With these four properly master
ed, it will be easy to find all the rest.
NOTES AND RECEIPTS.
CATHERINE DE MEDIcIs is quoted as
having asserted that the highest thing
to be said in praise of a woman is that
she can cook good dinner.
HERE is a recipe tor making sausage
that the editor Of the Germantown Teie-
graph thoroughly indorses after trial
of years: 70 every hundred weight of
good corn-fed pork, not too fat, add a
quarter OF a pound of sage, one ounce
of summer savory or thyme, two pounds
Of salt, six ounces of cayenne pepper,
six ounces black pepper, mix all well
together, and cut tolerably fine. OF
course for a larger or smaller quantity
of meat, the same proportion of ingredl-
ents should be used.
Too much cannot be said on the sub
iect of supplying the table with green
food IN winter, when the acid fruits OF
the warm season cannot be had. Spinach
and lettuce are always in market, and
celery, that relish and excellent vegeta-
BILE, should be used without stint. 1t
contains soporifc ingredients, and is a
capital nervine. Celery should always
appear with cheese, crackers and fruit
for desert. 1t is the nibbling relish, act
ing as digcster in the human stomach
as gravel works with fowls.
How many thousand nice people have
forgotten toasted cheese2 1t is private
sort of dish, because there are so many
different havors to be put to it-delicate
scorches and bubbles, you know, that
every fellow wants to see to himself
We use our roast oyster tongs. They are
rather short, but they bring the live
flesh in sympathy with the cooking, and
toasted cheese, like roasted oysters,
goes best with red hands and face.
should think these grand dinner parties
might be arranged with CRATE of Goals
so that every guest might toast his own
cheese Hartford C0urdm Agricultural
