will not do to conclude that the hoy is
safe because he plays and associates
with our neighbor's generally well be-
haved boy. The boy whose conduct
is always circumspect at home, aud in
the presense of grown people, may he,
and often is, terrible boy among
boys. We now call to mind the sonuf
an excellent Christian father, whose
conduct when not among buys is mex
ceptional. 1t is doubtful if that ia.
Their has ever seen y reason for repri
handing or punishing that boy. Yet
among boys he is certainly the worst of
the bad. There is scarcely any vice to
which he is not addicted, fact which
the father of another boy happily
learned. To guard to some extent
against such influence our boy must be
watched when outside of the home.
As the detectives say, he should be
"shadowed, " and his language and acts
should be known to the father without
the child's knowledge, a statement
which may cause IA fuller realization of
remark we made in a former article,
that it is hard work to raise a boy.
And suppose he is detected in thai
which is wrong, what then 1? Shall it
be the lash? Well, no, never at the
time of detection, and seldom ever.
Corporal punishment may he valuable
at times, if properly administered, but
ninety nine times out of hundred it
does more harm than good. If thought
to be absolutely necessary the parent
never should be 81 cool as when ad.
ministering it. Never chastise child
in anger. 1t is both cowardly and
undigniGed, and unless the chastise
ment i: given when the feelings ar.
PLANTED with anger, the parent will fee
every stroke more keenly than the
child does, and will not be apt to chas,
tise unreasonably. But it is love and
reason that should be invoked under
such circumstances. A quiet. sensible
loving talk with the little culprit ans
II full explanation Of the consequence,
of evil doing, will do more than al
hourly whipping, and not wound tn,
self respect of the boy or arouse tn,
worst part of his nature.

Behavior at Church.

Nothing furnishes surer index to a
young gentleman's or lady's character
than his or her behavior at church.
If you see a young man walk quietly
into church aud take his seat and pay
proper attention to the religious exer.
cises, you may be assured that that
young man has self respect and good
moral character. The same may he
said Of the young lady who acts in like
manner. But, on the contrary, if you
see the smile af scorn rising to the lips
If the young man as he witnesses some
portion Of the services, you may set
that chap down as a brainless chap,
having neither sense, manners, nor
morals, II young lady, set her
down as frivolous and be sure never ia
select her for wife. She will cause
you sorrow if you do. If you are a
Protestant and attend Catholic worship,
conform as far as your conscience will
permit you, to the mode of worship
practiced by that church, and let your
demeanOr he sober and dignifed, and
vice versa if you are Catholic.

A Word to Boys.

We find the following words to boys
in one of our exchanges, and particu.
larly recommend its perusal to our
young readers. Get it by heart, lads:
"Who is respected? 1t is the boy
who conducts himself well, who is hon.
est, diligent and obedient in all things.
1t is the boy who is making az efFtri
continually to respect his father, and to
obey him in whatever he may direct to
be done. 1t is the boy who is kind to
"ther little boys, who respects age, and
who never gets into difficulties and
quarrelS with his companions. It l.
he boy who leaves no effort untried tn
Improve himself in knowledge and
wisdom every day; who is busy and
'ctive in endeavoring to do good acts
towards others. Show me a boy who
obeys his parents, and who is diligent,
who has respect for age, who always
has friendly disposition, and who ap.
plies himself diligently to get wisdom,
to do good toward Others, and if he is
not respected and beloved by every
body, then there is no such thing as
truth in the world. Remember this
little boys, and you will grow up and
become useful men.

The Surplus in the Treasury.

St. Louis Globe Democrat.
So much has been said about "the
surplus" that great many people have
got the notion that the Treasury vaults
are filled to overAowing with money
that the government has no chance to
use, and that it must lie there idle and
at the risk of being stolen until some
method shall be devised for disposing
of it. As a matter of fact there is no
surplus in the Treasury. The collec.
tions are in excess of the requirements
for current expenses, but all the over.
plus is regularly applied to the rtduc-
ton of the public debt, instead Of be-
ing allowed to accumulate. 1t is esti>
mated that the revenue of this year
will be about $50, 100000 more than
will be needed for expenses, hul there
are sume $500, 600, 900 of bonds which
the Government can take up at its
pleasure--so that if nothing at all
should be done in the matter there
need he no difficulty about finding Use
for the surplus in direct and whole>
some way. The question really is
whether the excess Of receipts over ex'
penditures should continue to be ap,
plie,l in reducing the debt, or the du'
ties be lowered sufficiently TO prevent
any considerable excess, and thus less
en- or stop the payments on the debt

Selecting Seed Corn.

1Ho seen corn QuesGlOH VIII De an
important question the coming spring
to our farmers. j. M. Stahl, in the
Indiana Farmer, very wisely urges the
necessity for great carein selecting and
thorough tests of terminating power
before planting. He says
Among soft. corn the farmer can
always select sufficient for seed that is
apparently matured and solid. If he
selects his seed early in the fall he is
apt to attribute the moisture in it Ia
immaturity. If he delays the selec-
ton until col weather, frost will make
the corn solid and keep it solid all the
winter. Yet this seed will not germi-
nate. The frost will prove fatal to it.
If the germ end of the grain is per.
fectly free from moisture no amount Of
cold likely to occur in this latitude will
prove injurious. But if the germ is
wet very slight freeze will iijure it
If moisture remains in the grain or in
the cob then the farmer should be
very sure that freezing has not destroy
ed the lite Of the germ.
II believe that can tell by the ap
pearance of the germ whether or not il
will terminate. BY cutting off small
portion of the small end of the grain
the germ is exposed. If the germ il
clea oand solid it will terminate; but
if it is soft aud spongy, or black, you
may be certain that its vitality ha.
been impaired. The farmer should a
once examine his seed corn, for If i
will not grow he should know it a
once. | am pretty certain that those
of us who sent West for seed last yea
will not do it again. We will try Il
get what we want nearer home.
But the safest, and on that accoun
the best test, is to select a gram a
random from each ear Git is best to Sc
lect from the BUTT and plant them il
a box Of earth. Keep the box behin'
the kitchen steve during the day; u
night when the fire has gone down Sc
it in the oven, By counting the grain
planted. a pretty accurate estimate q
the percentage likely to grow can b
made. 5is
1t should be remembered, however
that grains grow under these favorabl
conditions which may not germinat
under those less favorable. I am salts
fed that much of the corn which fail
ed to grow last spring possessed suff
cient vitality. and as the season wa
cold and backward, and the groun
wet and cold, it rotted. Some allow
ance must be made for unfavorabl
conditions.
l have said that the grains should b
selected from near the butts of tn
ears. If moisture to injure the gerI
has remained in the cob it will alwa,
be greatest near the butt. I remen
her that last spring my brother and
examined some seed corn which
farmer was certain must be good. W
found the germs of those grains nes
the small end of the cob all right; bt
those near the butt end had been fata
ly injured by the freezing. The rel
son was that sufficient moisture ha
remained in the butts, but not in III
points, to damage the germ whe
frozen"
