ground. Some practical work should
be given them, some responsibility in
which they are to have no oversight and
no support.
Let it be whatever you please; a
journey made alon4; the care for time
of younger brother; matter of bust
ness to be managed by their own I'M
aided judgment; patch of ground to
cultivate, or cattle to raise, for their
own profit. If the lad fails let your
censure be light. He will have gained
much in experience and more in man
illness; he will feel his feet under him.
The most difficult part of a duty for
parents is probably to hit upon the ex-
act period when their son is to be
treated, not as a child, but as man,
with will, judgment and responsibility
of his own; to know when he should
cease to command his child and should
only advise.
In some cases this period is long de-
ferred from an excess of affection on the
part of the parents; they wish to shell
ter the lad, to hold him back from
work, care, trouble. They keep him
idle, when he ought to be making his
own living. Very often such boy is
moody, insolent and conceited, yet when
set fairly to work he steadies and soft
ems into modest, affectionate, sensible
fellow, simply because he feels his own
responsibility. He is not burden, to
be managed by others, but a man among
men, with God looking on his work.

BETTER WITH ICE INIT.

4 party of Chicago sporting men, h.
clu6fng an editor of a sporting paper,
were going north to the pigeon orchards,
on an early morning train. They had
all of the guns and ammunition that
would have been necessary to have killed
a million birds, and among the ammuni-
ton In the smoking car where they
were riding was number of bottles.
The sportsmen opened bottle and took
drink, and smacked their lips, but they
all said it would be much better with a
little ice. There was Jew in the seat
in front of them, a drummer, and he
never wanted a drink so bad in all his
life, but the sportsmen did not seem to
invite him. He could smell the generous
wine, and he tried to think of some man
her in which he could be invited in to
the game, so, after they had COM
planned about not having any ice, he
turned around and said, Shentlemen,
of it would be any accommodation to you,
[ dink could get you some ice." They
told him it would, and asked him how
he thought he could accomplish SO desir-
able an object. He put his finger by his
nose and winked, and said it was a cold
day when he couldn't find any ice, and
he went out into the baggage car and re-
turned with piece of ice; and they
broke it up and drank with great gusto,
and invited him to partake, which he
did, though he said he never took ice in
his, preferring it straight. Finally the
ice was out, and they suggested that he
get some more, which he did, and they
became hilarious over their good luck.
The third time he was sent for ice he
came back without it, and with sad
looking face. The train was nearing q
station where he was to get of, and, as
he took his gripsack to get off, one OF
the sportsmen asked him why he didn't
get the ice. He said the baggageman
wouldn't let him have any more. Then
they asked him what was the reason the
baggageman had gone back on him. The
train had stopped, and the Jew had got
to the door, when he turned and said
"Vell. shentlemen, / told YOU about de

FABLES.

The Avaric;ous Poet.-A young Poet,
having saved up Fifty Thousand Dol
lars out of his Earnings, thought he
would make an Independent Fortune in
a Short Time by Changing his Bust
ness So he organized a "Pinafore"
troupe, which Bankrupted him by
breaking up in Idaho, and the Young
Poet came back to New York on his
Ankles and accepted the Position of a
Brakeman on the Elevated Road. Nor
al-Young man, leave Well Enough
, alone, and don't go West.
The Hen and the Snake.-A Hen,
while out walking with her Little Ones,
one day, observed huge Snake in the
Road, and was greatly Astonished at
seeing the little Snakes run down their
Mothers Throat for Safety. On the
way Home the Hen thought of that
beautiful Provision of Nature which en-
ables the Snake to Swallow it's Young,
and concluded to see how it Worked
herself. So she picked up one of her
chicks in her mouth, and, in attempting
to Swallow it, died of Asphyxia on the
spot. Moral-What is Sauce for the
Goose is not always Say for the Sea-
Serpent.
The Cat and the Bird-A Cat having
! noticed newly-stuffed Bird, which had
.. just been brought Home, Pounced upon
and Swallowed it in a Jiffy, and that
very night the Cat was made so deathly
sick by the chemical contents of the de-
parted Minstrel that she was obliged to
Cancel an Engagement to accompany
her Intended to Concert that evening.

for pretty much everything is full of
