OUR BOYS.
A Kind Word for the Neglected
Ones Of the Childish World.

There is something appealing in the
sight Of boy, and no one with the
right sort of feelings can look at one
without pity. Boys are always getting
into trouble, disgrace and danger, and
the worst of it is that there are few to
pity or care. 1t usually ends with the
boys mother and grandmother; they
have sympathy for him no matter what
happens. But father. grandfather, aunts
and uncles think he is good for moth
ing young nuisance, who does not get
half the whippings he deserves. When
he falls into disgrace or calamity they
are ready to say. "Just what l expect
ed" Poor little men, with all the great
bowling wilderness of life before them,
ond none to fight the way for them
Who cares that their growing bones and
their hearts pain them for want of a
word and sympathy. They are called
lazy when they are sick, and no one ex-
cept mother ever takes the trouble to
inquire into their bad feelings Some
times terrible accident swoops down
upon the boy. He gets shot accidentally,
or is drowned, or in some other way
meets his fate. Then it is revealed to
the ones who never gave him pleas
ant word or look that possibly they
have been unkind. Years of unavailing
sorrow and regret cannot undo the past.
The pale face of the dead boy, who was
driven like dumb beast from place to
place, will haunt the ones who have
been his prosecutors through all time
Take it home, you who have boys to
whom no word of kind encouragement
is ever given. Somewhere in the coun-
try the boys are being brought home ev-
cry day, all their little cares and troubles
ever for all time. Then comes the re-
gret and heart-break that never can
be cured. By this we do not mean to ex-
cuse the worthlessness of many boys,
nor to imply that there are no fathers
with tender, considerate hearts; but we
desire to touch few who never lean to
the side of charity in their dealings
with the boys.

The Wanton Calf: A Fable.

A Calf, full of Wantonness and Play
seeing an Ok at the Plough, could no
forbear insulting him. "What a sorry
poor Drudge are you" seid he, ''to beal
that heavy Yoke, and go turning up the
Ground for a Masterl' "See what a
happy life / leadr' he added, when al
evening the Ok, unyoked and going tC
take his rest, saw him, hung with Gar
lands, being led away by the Flamen, q
venerable man with a fondness for Veal
Pot-Pie.

Young People lad better Stick to the
Farm, and not Study for Learned Pro,

what it means .-[G. T. Lanigan, in Edi-

POETRY.
Doing Good.

We all might do good,
When we often do i'll,
There is always the way,
If we have but the Will;
Though it be but word
Kindly breathed or suppressed
1t may guard off some pain,
Or give peace to some breast.
We all might do good
In thousand small ways;
In forbearing to fiatter,
Yet yielding due praise
In spurning i'll humor,
Reproving wrong done,
And treating but kindly
Each heart we have won
We all might do good,
Whether lowly or great,
Fer the deed is not gauged
By the purse or estate;
II it be but cup
Of cold water that's given,
Like 'the widows two mites,
1t is something for heaven.
Belmont chronicle. [volume] (St. Clairsville, Ohio) 1855-1973, 1882-06-22

SOMEBODY, who has evidently got in
to the world through some odd mistake
has written thus:
What are another's faults to me?
I've not a vulture's bill,
To pick at every haw l see,
And make it wider still.
Ii is enough for me to know
I've follies of my own
And on my heart the care Destow,
And let my friends alone.

RIVER AND HARBOR BILL.
How 1t Passed the Household Day for
West virginia-Col. Ben's Joke.

How 1t Passed the House-Gooa Day FOL
| West virginia--Col Ben's Joke.
Special Dispatch to the Register.
WASHINGTON, June I8.-West Vir
GINA Jared extremely we'll in the
House, yesterday. The house spent
the entire day on the river and harbol
bill, and displayed at every point a
determination to ''sit down on" all
attempts to amend the bill by increas
ing the appropriations made by it.
West Virginia was the only State that
enjoyed the honor of getting an adj
dition to the sum already appropri-
ated by the bill, Mr. Hoge succeeded,
by few common sense remarks, in
getting an amendment inserted in the
bill giving $25, 900 for continuing the
work of improvement on the Monon-
gahela. Wilson tried to get in an
amendment to improve the Little
Kanawha, but Page, the Chairman of
the committee, in charge of the bill,
said that he thought nothing ought
to be done for any stream where tolls
are collected for navigation of any
kind, and Wilson's amendment was
voted down.
Kenna also tried to get in small
err amendment for the same purpose
but was voted down.
Later in the day Wilson offered an
amendment directing the Secretary
of War to obtain from the Little Ka-
nawha Improvement Company a state
ment of the sum for which they will
sell their improvement to the naviga-
ton of the river, so that the naviga-
ton of the river can be made free.
This amendment was adopted and
the other resolutions of the bill relat-
ing to West Virginia were passed
without objection or delay.
Wilson got in a huge joke just as
the days work on the bill closed, by
offering an amendment directing the
secretary of war to make the pro-
posed Improvements to the streams
to be improved, in such manner as
not to interfere with navigation by
the fish, of the streams. The amend
ment was received with roars by the
house, which was tired out with q
hard days work, and glad of a little
diversion, but the resolution was
ruthlessly slaughtered, and the con-
sideration of the closing paragraphs
of the bill resumed, and after order
ing a survey for Tygart's valley river
above Grafton, the house passed the
bill and adjourned.

Picturesque Il. e. @.

One of the most elegant works, Illus
trating the natural wonders and gradear
of scenery to be found in this country is
a neat little pamphlet entitled "Pi:tur-
esque B. q o." issued under the super
vision of G. K. Lord, General Ticket
and Passenger Agent of the B. & o.
Railroad. The excellent style and taste
displayed in the matter and typography
evidences the most intelligent concep-
ticn of what is necessary in work of
the character of Picturesque B. 4. O.,
to attract the eye of the traveller and at
the same time afford satisfaction in ena-
bling one to better appreciate the points
of interest and the natural beauty and
picturesque localities to be seen along
the line of the Baltimore & Ohio. AS
work Of art it excels some the more
pretentious publications, the illustra-
lions being sketches taken from nature,
on which the best artists have been en-
ployed. To show the high character of
this part of the work it is only necessary
to mention that seventy of the drawings
are contributed by Thomas Moran, while
the product of other artists are equally
excellent. The descriptive account is
writtenin narrative style, the peculiar
charm of which is the freshness which
pervsdes the sketches Of historical local
tiles and the points which are subjects
of illustration.

Mr.. p. w. Morris, President OF
the West Virginia Press Association,
has notified all the editors of the
State Of the meeting to be held in
Wheeling, July 9th, and has extended
a cordial invitation to each to attend.
Within the past five years the Press
Of West Virginia has made rapid
progress toward a higher plane of
usefulness and influence. This work
has been accomplished chiefly
through the efforts Of a few of it's
members, who attend every meeting
regularly, and who faithfully devote
themselves to the work. Inasmuch
as very great amount of good has
been accomplished by very few, it
Is reasonable to assert that by unani-
nous effort its influence might be ex-
tended almost infinitely. Every
newspaper man not, only owes it to
himself, but to the members of the
Association, to attend it's meetings.
While many of the brethren are
comparatively poor, there are none
who could not afford to attend. The
trifling sum thus expended is not
thrown away; it is simply an invest
ment, and will return q hundred fold
to the editer who spends it. We
have frequently deplored the seeming
apathy that exists among the breth-
rem. We implore them to arouse to
a sense of their duty. They arc an
intelligent body of men, but have
allowed circumstances in the past to
keep them apart Hereafter they
must control circumstances. Every
man must attend with his mind made
up to act with the Association, and
our word for it, in less than year
all will be thankful that they availed
themselves of the privilege of meet
ing as cooperative body.
