What TO Teach the Boys.

a Philosopher has said that true cd
ucation for boys ''is to teach them
what they ought to know when they
become men" What Is it they ought
to know then? First, to be true, to be
genuine. No education is worth any
thing that does not include this. A
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. in action, rather than
being learned in all the sciences and
languages, to be at the same time false
in heart and counterfeit in life. Above
all things, teach the boy that truth Is
more than riches, more than culture,
more than earthlyspower or position.
Second, to be pure in thought; IAN
guage, and lie, pure i'll mind and body.
An impure man, young or old, poison
ing the society where he moves with
indecent stories and impure example,
is moral ulcer, plague spot, a leper,
who ought to be treated as the lcpers
Of old, who were banished from s0cie-
ty, and compelled to cry "Unclean !"
as warning to save others from the
pestilence. Third, to be unselfsh, to
care for the feelings and comforts Of
others; to be generous, noble and man
ly This will include Il genuine rev.
erence for the aged and things sacred.
Fourth, to be self-reliant and self-help-
ful, even from early childhood to be
industrious always and self-supporting
at the earliest proper age. Teach that
all honest work is honorable, and that
an idle, useless life of dependence on
others in disgraceful. When boy
has made these ideas part of his
being, however young he may be, how
ever poor CT however rich, he has
learned some Of the NEST important
things he ought to know when ne is
man.

Dcbauchery and Starvation.

Captain Sands, of the schooner Paul
inc Collins, recently arrived at San
Francisco from the Arctic Ocean,
brings Il shocking account of debauch-
cry and starvation which he found at
St Lawrence Island, in the Behring
Sea. 1t appears that Arctic "tradcrs"
go to the Island loaded with rum,
which they barter with the fishermen;
that the fishermen, so long as the IL
quOr lasts, give themselves up to de
bauchery the sequel of which, their
food supplies becoming exhausted, is
starvation. Almost the entire popu-
latiOn Of the South eastern end of the
island had perished of starvation. \
party landed from the Collins and were
mortified to find ''two hundred and fif-
ty corpse i'll one field" Everywhere
the scene was frightful. The captain
speaks Of seeing the dead in huts, and
mentions one little girl, ''stiff in death,
her head resting on her hand, while
the body leaned over the remains Of
whale" The contraband Graders"
clude the ''reyenue cutters" and ply
their infamous business for the sake Of
gain, regardless of its horrible and de
structive results with the native popu
lation. 1t Is an ignominious greed
which characterizcs the business Of rum
selling the world over Alcohol, iniu-
rious every where, is, it will be seen,
especially destructive in the cold cline
of the Arctic regions. 1t is a deadly
enemy, which for drinking purposes,
ought not to be allowed anywhere to
exist.

To be Paid i'll Kisses.

A girl over in North Carolina, where.
so many Of the good citizens OF Angus
tn came from, bought set Of Jet Jew
clry for which she was to pay a hum
drcd kisses, one day till the tally was
complete. After the first thirty days
the girl backed out. probably because
the thing got too monotonous, and the
man-ot course there was aman in the
case rs well as. a woman-brought suit
against her for breach Of contract. 1t
might seem to some that such an action
would be barred as contrary to public
policy. The case appears, neverthe-.
less, to be going on. 1t would be in
tercstIng TO know what was agreed
upon by the parties TO this queer sale
as the average pecuniary value Of
kiss, which could be learned by an ca
sy calculation from the price originally
stimulated for. the set. The verdict
of thejury may be expected to throw
new light upon that ycXcd and uyste--
rious philosophy Of the estimate Of civ
il damages which Is 50 incomprehcnsi-
bic to the common mind.

The Economy of Temperance.

a Western correspondent invites at
tention to the fact that the trade of St.
Louis has increased nearly one-third in
the last three months; that lis business
has exceeded in amount any previous
three months in the history Of that
city, and that this increase comes large
" from the reformed temperance dis
tricts of the Southern and Western
States. The savings of one man con-
verted TO temperance, change his CON
dition from Penury to comparative
comfort. The savings of temperance
communities throughout the land suf-
flee iii the aggregate to lift the burden
Of embarTassmenta and t. make it posi-
bic for the wheels of industry TO re-
sumo their wonted activity. The wri-
ter asks: "Where would the country
have been if the people had not said
halt to the liquor traffic? The avenue
to general and abiding prosperity is
abstinence and sobriety.
The great Northern Railway Com
pany having recently determined to
provide dinners in their express trains
to and from Scotland, clause was in
serted in their bill for the present scs-
sion enabling them to supply wine and
other liquors to travellers who should
avail themselves Of this accommodation
On Friday, however, the directors re
ceived deputations from three temper
ance organizations who urged objec-
tions to the clause, and the board con
sentcd to its withdrawal.

Detroit Froo Press.
Census men are abroad in the land
Under the new law they have 4 lega
right to ask about five hundred ques
tiOns, but there is such a thing Us {
census man going too far It is wei
enough for defenceless families to know
where the line is drawn.
No census man has a right to dispute
a woman when she gives her age
| Under the law he can elevate his eve.
brows and exclaim: ''Did you ever p
when a female supposed to be 45 re,
turns her age at 81, but she must stop
right there. He may wonder to him
self where on earth the grandmothers
of this country have suddenly slipped
to, but he mustn't wonder to you.
No census man has legal right to
ask woman if she is living with her
first, second Or third husband, or
whether she quarrels more with the
third than the first. The law suppos-
es every family to be living in peace
and harmony, and the United States
Government never takes any notice of
a family r3w brought on by the hired
girl being kissed in the dark.
Under the law, no census taker has
any right to ask a wife how many even
ings in q week her husband is out after
II o'clock, or what Is the subject of
her remarks when he slips in at the
sidcdoor. This great and glorious
government has always been conduct
ed on the principle that clubs, lodges
and societies were a part Of its founda-
ton.
The law does not specify that the cen
sus man shall ask q wife if she couldn't
have done better by waiting for a
second offer. This information is sup
posed to be cheerfully volunteered, and
is marked with big red "X" to signi-
fy the officials belief that if she hadn't
accepted the offer she did she have
died an old maid.
A baby with the measles counts Just
as much in law as orc galloping
around barefooted in the front door
yard. The law requires the census
taker to remark that your baby is the
| handsomest one in the ward. If he
neglects to do SO he should be called
| back.
For the benefit Of wives who dc their
own housework and are ashamed to
have it known, blanks are furnished
with n heading which reads: rs gen
orally in the habit of keeping four ser
wants, but has just given her help a
vacation"
The new law is also very generous
in an, ther matter. The census-tallcr
may legally inquire who lives next
door, but is supposed that most women
will fill out and sign the following:
Family named Blank no style about
'em : he wears a shabby hat, and she
never combs her hair until 3 o'clock
p. NJ; they have a carriage, but
don't believe it's paid for; they allow
their children to throw stones at our
dog, and permit them to play on mouth
organs; they say she has diamonds,
but don't believe it; lots of callers,
but presume they were there to col
Iect bills. To all Of which l subscribe
myself" etc.

''ITcatiHg."

In very logical and common sense
address upon the evils of intemperance,
one of the eloquent c'ergymen Of New
York city recently said that the Gus
tom of creating" was founded on a
benevolent and hospitable feeling, but
it was a custom that had done more
harm than all the enemies the country
ever had, and would result in even
greater harm if permitted to continue.
1t had made the American nation Il
nation Of drunkards. More drunkards
had sprung from that custom than from
any other cause. 1t was 4 yoke upon
the necks of thousands. Men did not
like to be called stingy, which was per-
haps the chief reason why they treated.
But let them abandon the CUSTOM and
they would become n help and 4 power
i'll the cause of temperance. What was
wanted was custom TO correct that Of
creating" One man might be strong
and able to resist the temptation Of a
treat" another might be weak and
fall. This thought should, therefore,
make an honest man refrain, lest he
might be an unhappy instrument of
another's ruin.

60 Back, General Lee.
A. c. Jones, in Philadelphia Times.

a. c. Jones, in Philadelphia Times.
My attention was at this moment di-
rected to Il group Of officers in front,
among whom l at once recognized
Generals Lee and Pendleton, near a
single piece Of artillery that had been
hastily placed in position. Everything
indicated time of great peril, requir-
ing prompt and decisive action.
1t required but n few minutes to
steady the line and close intervals,
when the order Forward {" was given.
At this moment General Lee rode up,
wheeling his horse in froht and uncov-
ering his head, simply said: Il will
lead you, men, The line swept for
ward without an instant's halt; but the
cry was taken up from mouth to mouth,
and rose above the din of the batt,c,
"Go back ) General Lee, go back !" 1t
was scene never to be forgotten bv
those who witnessed it. 1t thrills my
heart even now, as memory recalls the
picture, that noble form, with head
uncovered and face set like flint to the
front, regardless Of the criesOf his men
whose only thought was for his safety.
He continued to advance until some
Texas soldiers seized the reins of his
horse and forced him to the rear. Gen
eral Longstreet seems to intimate that
this action Of Gen. Lees was an indis-
cretion unbecoming in a great comman-
der, and that the excitement" of the
occasion caused him to lose his balance.
1t does not so appear to the men whom
he led. The greatest generals of whom
we have record in history, including
Washington and Napoleon, in times of
great peril and at the critical moment
Of the battle, saw fit to throw them
selves into the very midst Of the con-
fict, that they might thus inspire their
soldiers with the necessary enthusiasm.
That this was General Lees object l
do not doubt, and that it had the de-
sired effect, the result proved.

Resurrection.

CHARLOTTE, n. G. May I, 1850
The following extraordinary story is
published from Franklington, over the
signature of j. w. Weaver of that
town. He says that Mrs. Martha
Smith, of Chatham, reports a remark
able case Of suspended animation, bur
ial and resurrection in the person Of j
married lady in that county; who pos
sessed a gold watch and finger rings
which she often expressed a desire to
have buried with her whenever she
should die. Finally she was taken Ill,
and her life seemed to ebb away until
her attending physician pronounced it
extinct
Ather burial her previously express
ed desire was complied with and the
second night after her interment a
white man and a negro went to the
grave and eXhumed her for the pur,
pose OF obtaining the buried jewelry.
As they took the lid off the coffin and
the negro began pulling off a ring from
her finger a. she raised up. AT this
both men took fright and ran away.
Finally the negro went back and she
asked him what he wanted. He told
her he wanted her rings and the white
man her watch. She requested to see
the white man, whom the ether soon
found and brought to her. She reques
ted him to go home with her. He did
so, and when she reached the door she
knocked. Her husband opened the
door, but tainted when he saw her,
thinking it was his dead witc's ghost.
Mrs. Smith says the ltdy IS now living
and bids fair to attain good old age
and that she visits and IS visited by
her quite frequently.
