Hints to Boys.

A philosopher has said that the
true education for boys is to teach
Them what they ought to know
when they become men, What .s
it they ought to know?
|. TO be true; to be genuine. No
education will be worth anything
that does not include this. A man
had better not know how TO read,
he had better never learn letter
in the alphabet, and be true and
genuine IN intention and action,
rather than, beng learned in all
science and in all languages. be at
the same time false at heart and al.
so counterfeit in life. Above all
things, teach the boys that truth is
more than INCHES, more than culture,
moro than earthly power or posi-
ton.
=. To he pure in thought, Ian.
guagc and llfe-pure in mind and
body. An impure man, young OF
old, poisoning society where ha
moves with his smutty stories and
impure example, is a moral ulcer, q
plague spot, a lcper, who ought to
be treated as were the lepers of old
who were banlshed from society
and compelled to cry Unclean,
as a warning TO save others from
the pcsiilence.
3. To be upselfsh. To care fol
the feelings and comforts Of others
To bo polite. To be Just in al
dealings with others. TO he gene
rous, noble and manly. Thus will
include a genuine reverence for the
aged and things sacred.
4. To be sclf.reliant and self.belp
full even from early childhood. TC
be industrious always, and self sup
porting at the earliest age. Teacl
thom that all honest work is homo
rable, and that an idle, useless lif,
of dependence on others is dis
graceful.

DEAR TINES All the way up the
Ohio my hungry soul vas "yearn-
ing for items to communicate to
the readers of the Times, and now
that l have spent two days in that
great city, ! surely ought to be able
to write sometlng of interest, but
most of your readers haye been IN
cities, and there is very little differ
ence in them. Cincinnati is but n
large Memphis. Though of course,
there is much moro OF interest to
be seen IN the former city. The
suspension and the railroad bridges
are well worthy Of visit. The
suspension bridge is the finest !
ever saw. The Davidson Fountain,
presented to the city, is n handsome
piece of bronze work, which cost
over S25, 900. But the most pleas
ant part of my stay IN Cincinnati,
was the time ! spent at the High
land House. This is 2 very hand
some building, situated several hun
dred fee, above the city, with prom
cnades, alcoyes, and large open
court with hundreds of small tables
within il, at which sat over two
thousand people quietly enjoying
themselves, in drinking beer, wine,
lemonade, &C., as their taste d'cta-
ted. A brass band aiscoursed the
finest music, while we sat down, or
promenadcd sropnd. While there
were over two thousand people
present, many of them LADIES', | did
not hear one loud word, or the
slightest confusion of any kind, nor
did | see a single policeman about
the premises. This certainly speaks
well for the people of Cincinnati.
The whole place is brilliantly light
ed with the electric light. which
made objects an hundred yards of
as plain rs day. As we gazed from
one Of the parapets over into the
city, the sight was very beautiful,
the myriad of lights to be seen in
,every direction making scene not
to be soon forgotten. ! noticed
another thing in CINCINNATI lhat
would have delighted the soul OF a
thirsty Osceolian, and that was
that on Sunday there was no neces-
sity for /" back. k.doors,' as all the
saloons werc open, and most OF the
stores. The saloons remain open
ali day, while the stores close about
eleven o'clock. ! could not see the

Sunday, though | suppose there
was a full attendance al the church

The Delaware Shaa FISHERY.

u LliaUSlpuia Ledger April Z.
Shad fishing at the shore fisheries in the VI
clnity OF Philadelphia would probably have
commenced this week, but the unreasonable
colo and high winds have thrown them back
at least ten days, or longer If the cold weather
continues. Shad are being caught by the gill
net fishermen down the river from Billingsport
to the bay, and Monday last the first market
boat OF the season arrived at Dock-street
wharf with 1000 shad. The fish sold readily
for $40 and $50 per hundred. The second ar
rival is looked for this morning. The market
boat gathers all the shad from the fishermen
along the river and finds market for them In
the city. No shad, as far as could be learned,
haze been caught above BllingSport this sea-
