Teach the Boys.

1ntemperance.- Teach the boys
about it.
AT home and at school the boys
should be taught the effects of alco-
hol upon the processes of human
life.
l. They should be taught that it
can add nothing to the vital
forces.
2. That it disturbs the opera
ton of the brain.
3. That alcohol inhames the
baser passions and debases all the
finer attributes of the soul.
4. That an appetite for drink is
unnatural and acquired, and that
the use of alcohol takes away
health, degrades character, ruins
FORTUNES and destroys the soul.
6. That it causes crime and pau
perism, and that the 100000
daily spent in England for drink,
and 100000 every day in the
United States, bring in return,
nothing but diseased stomachs, de-
graded homes, destroyed industry
increase of pauperism and aggra-
waited crime.
Children should understand the
facts about alcohol, and be able to
act upon then in their earliest re-
sponsible conduct M. ].

Our Question Box.

Question What is Christian's
duty with regard to attending the
public entertainments that are
given from time to time?
Answer. Let him find out, if
if possible, the character of the
en- entertainment,
3 1.-The finds it to be reputable
and instructive or amusing, or in
any way profitable, let him at
tend it, if he is able, unless his
time and money are needed for
something more profitable.
3 If he finds it to be disreputa-
BILE and tinctured with indecency
or profanity or anything low and
triiling let him avoid it, and use
his influence against it.
t. II he is left in doubt about its
character or general tendency let
him keep away from it, for there
are things enough for his enjoy
ment and profit which he knows to
be good, without running any risks
He should always give his religion
the benefit Of every doubt.
g. Ought a man to give money
for benevolent objects, when he
needs it to pay debts that are over
due?
A. Yes. No debt to his neigh
Dor can cancel his debt to God. Be
sides if he honors the Lord with his
substance and the first fruits Of
his increase, the Lord viii help
him to pay his debts. = Olive
Branch.

AOw Character Grows.

Many people seem to forget that
character grows; that it is not
something to put on ready made
with waananhood or manhood but
day by day, here little and there
a little, grows with the growth,
and ren4,thens with the strength,
until good or bad, it becomes al
most coat of mail. Look at
man of business-prompt, reliable,
conscientious, yet clear-headed and
energetic. When do you suppose
he developed all these admirable
qualities? When he was a boy.
Let us see how a boy of ten years
gets up in the morning, works,
:plays, studies, and we will tell you
just what kind of man he will
make. The boy that is too late at
breakfast, late at school, stands a
poor chance to be a prompt man.
The boy who neglects his studies,
be they ever so small, and then ex-
cuses himself by saying, Il forgot

There is simple phrase which
Americans have not learned to ut

said in Europe-the concise words,
II can't afford it, | have heard
persons of an assnred and generous

may confess to his family that this

of that simple dignity which rests

nor sink below. On the other hand,
the American rs never quite GER
tain what he cesa afford. He may
have tomorrow what he could not
have yesterday, and, as our social
rank in this country often comes
partly from our possessions and our
dress, we are little afraid that if
we acknowledge any deficit in the
means to get these it may be set
down to our discredit.
