rae BOYS.

The war developed some pretty bad
characters in the South, desperate char
acters. who continued in a course of law
-lessness long after the close Of the strug-
Gle. Ruin and disappointment growing
out Of the result probably made many of
them a great deal worse than they other
wise would have been. The three
Younger brothers of Southwest Missouri
possibly were the most desperate and
reckless Of the crop, not exceeding even
the James boys, whom we believe are re-
lated to them. They finally brought up
four or five years ago in the Minnesota
Penitcntiary for participation in a train
robbery in that State. All three shared
the same fate. Lately an effort was
made to secure their pardon. L. z.
Younger, an uncle of the. ~convicts, called
in person on the Governor of Minnesota
TO see what could be done for his neph-
ews. On his return a reporter OF the st.
Joseph Herald interviewed him. He said
his documents were some letters from
leading men of Missouri, recommending
a full pardon of the boys. Also a trans
cript of a family record. In answer to a
question as to why he went to have them
released, he replied:
II went on this mission believing that
although the boys have been guilty OF great
wrong, they have been sufficiently punish
ed for their crimes, since they did not act
from inclination, but from force of cir
cumstances."
Of course he failed in the object of his
mission. He made this statement by
way Of a justification of their numerous
crimes:
cat the beginning Of the wal the boys
father was q stanch Union man. He
owned a large livery stable and dry goods
store at Jacksonville at this time, and was
a well-to-do citizen. During the war al
unknown party robbed the stable OF forty
blooded horses and burned the store.
Younger, at that time, was a heavy mail
contractor, and frequently had calls to
Kansas City. On his return from one OF
these trips, he was murdered and robbed
neal Westport. Suspicion fastened upon
certain men, but nothing could be proved
against them, and they were discharged
from custody. Coleman, the noted des-
perado, had barely attained his seventeenth
year, and having reason to suspect that his
fathers murder was committed by certain
parties in Kansas, he joined Quantrell's ia
nous m~arauders, and quickly became one
Of its most desperate members. The
surviving branch of his family were, in
consequence. subject to bitter persecution,
and the boys forced to flee for their lives,
three OF them besides Cole finding refuge
with Quautrell. They returned after the
war only to find their position more en-
dangered than ever, and their mother, as
well as one OF their brothers, dying from
the effects Of prosecutions, instituted
against them by detectives and others. as
they claim. Nothing remained for them
to do but to embrace the only chance they
had OF saving themselves. namely, the ca
reer Of desperadoes and robbers"

A Place for Farm Tools.

Every tool upon the farm should
have its place when not in use. A
we'll arranged tool-house is not on
" gratifying to the eye but it also
tells story of forethought, care
and thrift that all enjoy. Often Z
farmer cannot afford, separate
house for the tools, but this does
not preclude having a suitable place
for them. The siues of the carriage
house or barn may often be so ar
ranged that all the small farm i'm
plements, such as shovels, forks,
hoes, rakes, axes, etc, should have
a place for holding them securely
and be easy of access. Two cross
pieces of inch board are put in, one
near the floor and the other about
three feet above. Holes are bored
in these and all small tools are in
serted by their handles. Shelves
can be put in above the upper ends
of the implements, and these other
tools may be stored. Hooks and
pins are convenient and the side of
the room should be abundantly sup
piled with them. If wooden ones
are us ID let them | e strong a ID ia: =
med securely to the studs, so as
not to break down when the tools
are hung up.
This season of comparative leisure
is the best in which to fit up a tool
house, or the sides of n room that
can be used for the storing Of the
smaller farm implements. With
good tools IN working order aad at
hand. the farmer is forearmed for
his work.

The Habit of Self Control.


If there is one habit above all
others which is deserving of culti-
vation it is that Of self-control. In
fact, it includes so much that is of
value and Importance in life that it
may almost be said that, in pro-
portion to its power, does the man
obtain his manhood and the woman
her womanhood. The ability to
identify self with the highest parts
of our nature, and to bring all the
lower parts into subsection, or
rather to draw them upward into
harmony with the best that we
know, is the one central power that
supplies vitality to all the rest.
How to develop this in the child
may well absorb the energy of every
parent; how to cultivate it in
himself may well emily the
wisdom and enthusiasm OF every
youth. Yet it is no mysterious or
complicated path that leads to this
goal. The habit of self-control is
DuL Tile dtCuLuulutlOu vi COuJlHucu
acts of self-denial for worthy OBJ
ject; it is but the'repeated authority
of the reason over the impulses, of
the judgment over the inclinations,
of the sense of duty over the de-
sires. He who has acquired this
habit, who can govern himself in
telIigently, without painful effort,
and without any fear of revolt
from his appetites or passions, has
within him the source of all real
power and of all true happiness.
The force and energy which he
hath put forth, day by day and
hour by hour, is not exhausted. nor
ever diminished; on the contrary,
it has incresed by use, ..and has be-
come stronger and keener by exer-
else; and although it has already
completed it's work in the past it is
still his well-tried, true and power
full weapon for future conflicts in
higher regions.

Vanouishing the Tempter.

Rev. John Scudder related one
evening, his method of giving to the
Lord. He said, in substance, that
he formerly had fair fight with
Satan whenever he put coin into
the contribution box. "Oh, you
can't afford to give so much," was
the instant suggestion when he
took out the money whether great
or small, and the enemy was so
persistent that he often believed
him. But when he took out money
to use for himself, even if for luxu-
ry, there was not word of remon-
STRANGE. No hint of extravagance
from this tempter.
At last he silenced forever his
clamors. He set aside a box into
which he put a tenth of all he re-
ceived, and then when call was
presented he had but to take out
from money not his own and give
| it. The tempter was routed.
He had followed the plan Tor
over twenty years, and he believed
| it better the longer he tried 1t.

Four Good Rules.

Here are four good rules which l
want you all to study we'll:
One is, always look at the person
you speak to. When you are ad-
dressed, look straight at the person
who speaks to you. Do not forget
this.
Another is, speak your words
plainly. Do not mutter nor mum
BILE. Ifyour words are worth say
ing. they are worth pronouncine
distinctly and clearly.
Another is. do not say disagreea-
ble things. If you have nothing
pleasant to say keep silent.
A fourth is-aud oh! children
remember it all your lives-thinl
three times before you speak once
Have YOU something to do that
you find hard and would prefer not
to do it? Then listen. Do the hare
thing first, and get it over with. l
you have done wrong, go and con-
fess it. If your lesson Is tough
master it. If the garden is to b,
weeded, weed it first and play after
ward. Do the thing you don't lik'
to do first; and then with a clea
conscience do the rest.

Our Great River.

Some uneasiness exists in the
New York board of trade owing to
the fact that large quantities Of
grain are being shipped by barges
from St. Louis to New Orleans, and
steps are being taken to prevent 1t.
The Chicago Tribune says that the
Mississippi river is the natura out,
let for the grain of the West, and
that the railroads from the West to
the Eastern seabord cannot hope to
cope with such q formidable rival
unless freight rates are reduced. AT
present the cost of transportation
from St. Louis to New Orleans by
river compared with that by rail, is
hardly more than one-third. The
Tribnnelfurther states::that mo-el can
be paid for grain in st. Louis than
elsewhere and that it can be sold IN
New Orleans to shippers for less
than it costs elsewhere; besides
New Orleans is increasing her facll-
tiles for handling and shipping i'm
mense quantities of it to the East
ana to Europe. 1t appears that the
Western people are beginning to real
ize that the Mississippi river is the
cheapest, as we'll as the proper out
let for their immense trade, and dc
not lintend any longer to submit to
the exorbitant rates Of the Eastern
railroad corporations.-N,O 0. Times

Idle Church Members.

Give your church members some
thing to do, if you wish to keep
them from troubling you. They
will be thinking and talking ofsome-
thing. If they have no better en-
ployment, they will interest them
selves by grumb!ing and finding
fault with what is done by the
workers. They will criticise the
minister's sermons, or complain
that he does not visit them; will
CAD about to other churches
and, returning, tell how much bet
ter other churches manage their
affairs than I'VE do ours"
Now, if you can manage to find
plenty of work for such brethren in
the prayer meeting, Sabbath school,
benevolent society or at the mission
station, it will be an antldote for all
this tronble. A brother preacher,
about year after he had
taken charge of a church that had
troublesome member, was asked
how he got on with that member.
He replied: 81 have found so much
for him to do since / have been
here, he has never given me any
trouble"

Mrs. Haves, Last Reception.

We clip the following.noticc of one
of the fair daughters of Mississippi,
from the Paris True Kentuckian:
All who remember meeting Gen.
Chalmers family at Grab Orchard
and the Lexington Fair will read
this, as we did, with interest. Speak
ing of Mrs. Hayes last reception, a
telegram says:
"There was noticeable a large
number of Southern guests; they are
returning to life's gayeties in the
Capital. Their women, as a rule,
take the palm of beauty, and among
them the young daughter of Chal-
mers stood as pretty as blush rose.
Her toilet was rich, simple and girl
ish; material thick cream satin, front
breadth honey combed by large
pearl beads; the back fell in heavy
plain folds without train, with low
bodice, which was one glitter OF
pearl pendants. from the ivory white
shoulders to the slender waist"

Geneva and its Watches.

Geneva, like other cities, has its
specialities, and it's first and great
est, says correspondent, is its
manufacture of watches. The Ge-
peva watch has attained worldwide
celebrity, and though, probably, no
better than those of American man.
ufacture, they are wonderfully fas-
cinating, and lis difficult to with
stand the attractions of their show
windows. Their exhibitions OF
ladies' watches is specially fine, and
.heir price vary from $40 to as high
as you can go, and you are sure to
get a good article if you pay for one.
Another especially is music boxes,
of which large quantities are sold
every year. There are several es-
tablishments here which deal in
them exclusively, and they put them
up in all sorts of shapes. There are
musical chairs, which surprise you
by playing tune when you sit
down on them; musical foot-stools
goblets, and trinkets of various
kinds, ranging in price from 20 te
50. 600. and even higher. Geneva
has almost a monopoly of these es-
tablisments for, save one at Berne,
have not noticed any elsewhere.
