that some Of them are pretty tough, but
If you want to hear Of first-class youthful
depravity, and we might add deviltry,
just see and listen to some Of the stories
told by uen who were boys fifty or sixty
years ago, and if they do not discount our
boys-that Is, the boys of this period
then we will give in. We stood out in
front Of barber shop, a few days ago,
and listened to the experience of an ex-
Judge and a retired lumber merchant,
and from the experience given in at that
| time we came to the conclusion that the
old adage, ''The good die Young" was
correct. However, the mischief done in
youth does not always prove that the boy
will be bad man when grown up, be-
cause we know many Of whom it was pre-
dicted, they would end their days in
prison or on the gallows, that have made
excellent citizens, as the two gentlemen
referred to above have done. "Boys win
be boys" is true saying, and happy is
the person who can remain boy all his
life.
In city where there are so many Sc
cret orders as there are In this one, care
Should be manifested on the part of men,
beTs about sending stranger or giving
names of others for him to call upon, very
often for no other purpose than to
sponge on them. There are so many
beats travelling through the land repre-.
senting themselves to belong to this or
that order, who by some means get hold
of secret or two. and guess at the rest,
and use 1t for their own advantage. We
know of one institution that has adopted
plan to send all persons asking tor aid
or assistance TO the chairman of the re-
lief committee, who, if satisfied of the
| genuineness of the applicant, has the
power TO relieve. This does away with
the recommendation business. II man
comes and says, 'Brother Jones directed
mo to YOU" you can put him down as
fraud, as you know Brother Jones would
have sent him to the proper person. Men
are always willing to assist worthy
brother, but do not like to be taken In by
swindlers.
The soldier boys, both Vets and Nation
al Guardsmen, are receiving some atten-
tion ut the present time from the rever-
end clergy, two of them at least having
extended Invitations to attend Divine SER
vice at their respective Churches, the
Methodist and Baptist, on the two Sum
days previous to Memorial Day. We
doubt not but the boys have more respect
FOR minister at home than they did tor
some who were termed s'Chaplains" dur
Ing the war. They seemed to be gotten
up for the occasion only. Still, there
were many good and true, who we're al
ways welcome and for whom there was
the utmost respect; they were Christians
ut all times.
Three gentlemen sat talking together,
ON Monday last. Their combined ages
reached 230 years. From the evidence
gathered Of hair and beard, the frosts of
many Winters had been upon them.
| Rev. j. H. Boswell, of the Methodist
Church, will commence q series of re-
vival meetings tomorrow Thursday
evening. In q worldly sense, tho an
nouncement would seem to be little late
In the season, but from the earnestness
expressed by the Rev. gentleman we
should not be surprised IL the anticipated
| meetings resulted in a large number of
conversions. When tho people are ready
to work, the Lord will always be found
willing to assist.
The announcement that q baptism by
immersion would take place in New Hope
on last Sunday afternoon, at A o'clock,
drew together a very large crowd of
every creed and sect. 1t reminded one of
the days passed and gone, when all bap-
tisms Of the kind were done in the river.
The Introduction of pools has broken up
the custom. The Rev. Mr.. Lynch is de-
termined that no one shall be deprived of
joining his church on account of any
particular mode of baptising. He is will
Ing to accommodate them in any way.
While standing on one OF the corners at
New Hope, on Sunday afternoon last,
three gentlemen of foreign build and ac-
cent approached and asked If there were
any saloons open In the place. In re-
Spouse to q question, "What kind Of ssa-
looms do you meanp' The reply came
quickly and openly Beer saloons One
Of the New Hope party informed the
strangers, as mildly a. possible, that there
were none open. The two gazed east
ward and started for this city, but we
presume they went away dryer, but wiser
men.
The singing by the Methodist choir on
Sunday morning last was worthy of COM
mendation. 1t is not often one hears
such hearty singing, and at tie same time
such melody, as on this occasion. Two
cornetists assisted the organist and added
very much to the music.
Business 10 New Hope Is on the in
crease things are looking up. A new
dentist has mustered up courage enough
to open an Office in Solliday's building.
Contrary to almost any ether branch of
trade or profession, to be prosperous he
will have to look down In the mouth
very often.
II is rumored that at tho visit of the
Seventh Regiment number Of distin-
guished officers of the National Guard
will be present to witness the inspection.
Adjutant General Stryker, Assistant Ad-
iutant General Thomas s. Chambers,
General Plume and STAFF, and General
Sewell and STAFF, may be amongst the
number.

Pennington, was expected to visit Maj.
