The Boys.

HOys should never go through life satisfied
to be always borrowing other peoples brains
There are some things they should ind out
for themselves. There is always something
waiting TO be found out. Every boy should
think some thought that snail live after
him. a farmers boy should discover for
himself what timber will bear the most
weight, which is the most elastic, what will
last longest in the water, what out of water
what is the best time to cut down trees for
fiTewQOd. How many kinds OF oak grow in
your region. and what is each specially good
for How does Z bird fly without moving n
wing or a feather? How does snake climb
a tree or a brick wall? Is there any difference
between deer's track and a hogs track?
What is it? How often does a deer shed his
horns, and what becomes Of them? In build
ing a chimney, which should be the largest
the throat or the funnel? Should it be wider
at the top, or drawn in? The boys see white
horses. Did they ever see a white colt? Do
they know how old the twig must be to bear
peaches, and how old the vine is when grapes
first hang upon it? There is a bird in the for
est which never buildsa nest, but lays its eggs
in Ii nests of other birds. Can the boys tell
what that bird is? Do they know that hop
vine always winds with the sun, but a bean
vine always winds the other way? Do they
know that when a horse crops grass he eats
back toward him; but COW
outward from her because she has no teeth
upon her upper jaw, and has to gum it?

OF the best physicians, and tried many Of the So

chased someat Wingates drug store Dover, n. H,
and have received great relief from using il. The
severe pains in my back are removed. aud I am
able TO sleep soundly and obtain rest al night
which for 50 long time could not do, and the
weakness in the urinary organs has been relieved.
and greatly regret that I did not test the great
merits oflHunrs Remedy when I was taken sick, as
am confident il would have saved me from sew
