feel that they are or lIUUIe -orin0 az
count while they are boys. Lay IL
responsibility on boy, and he will
meet it in manful spirit. On no
account ignore their disposition to
investigate. Help them to under
stand things. Encourage them to
know what they are about. We
are too apt to treat a boys seeking
after knowledge as mere idle Curl
osity. Don't ask questions,' is
poor advice to boys. If you do not
explain pulling things to them,
you oblige them to make many
experiments before they find out,
and though experimental knowl-
edge is best, in one sense, anoth
er it is not, for that which can be
explained clearly, does not need
experimenting with. II the prin-
ciplc involved is understood, there
is no further trouble, and the boy
can go ahead intcliigently.
Do not wait for the boy to grow
up before yon begin to treat him as
an equal. A proper amount ofcon-
fdeuce, and words of encourage
ment and advice, and giving him
to understand THAI you trust him
in many ways, helps tomake man
of him long before he is a man in
either stature or years.

Keeping a Good Name.

Folly has hardly another form as
Objectionable as that of careless.
Z ness, r4al.0 or apparent, about one's
reputation. When a young man
behaves as if he were willing to be
believed FAST he may be guiltleSs
of any real disposition towards dis
sipation, but he cannot complain if
the more desirable Of his associates
gradually withdraw themselves
from intimacy with him. When Il

termination to amuSe herself at all
hazards, condescends to hiIt with

comes aware OF less heartiness in
the greetings Of the acqu Enhances
whose society she prizes most, re-
ceive fewer invitations from any
body, and at last perceive, with
painful clearncss, that she is actu
ally, even if undemonstratiyely,
avoided, except by those whom she
does not wish to meet.
Parents oi'teu are to blame for
not guarding their children more
carefully from undesirable compan-
ions, and from forming careless
and dangerous social habits, but in
many cases their remonstrances
are vain, and they have the grief
of witnessing the evil which they
cannot help. Young men and wo
men must be allowed to decide ma
ny things tor themselves, even If
they choose wrongly. If they will
not heed good advice, they must he
taught by experience; and the sad
,lest fact connected with the sub
ject is that it is so hard to recover
ones credit, even after one has
seen the great bluuder which has
been made, and is heartily in earn
est to CORRECT it. 1t is no easy mat
ter for a young man to live down
bad reputation, and it is far more
difficult fora young woman. Time

Itnccds to be impressed very
strongly upon many young people
that rrcklcssness and noJoriety
cannot possibly confer happiness.
They do supply a temporary excite

piness, but it turns bitter TO the
taste before it is done with. True
modesty and dignity are wholly
consistent with Il thoroughly enjoy

forfeit something Of the respect Of
others; and, when tLatis gone, moth
ing else can supply its place. The
merriest young men and women

flow with fun and frolic, and OF
whom their friends hardly can
think without sympathetic smiles
are those who so indulge their fond.

for granted he would be imprisoned in
the fort. There is no ordnance in this
fort, although it belongs to the general
government. The governor of Chihua-
hua has no control over the troops in
these barracks, and so far as | know
has no stated militia of his own. The
common sodiery stationed in the fort at
Paso del Norte is composed of dark fell
lows, clad in coarse tow-linen cloth and
equipped with old guns. The officers
are of light complexion and belong to the
upper classes.
Everything in and about the barracks
and the city is primitive. For instance,
the soldiers carry the water they use
for drinking and cooking purposes in
barrels from large ditch filled by its
connection with the Rio Grande river.
These barrels have hoop iron handles,
and "A pole is run through the handle.
Two soldiers carry a barrel. and the
ditch is 500 or 600 yards from the bar
racks. An officer superintends this work,
drawn sword in hand. and is very harsh
in his treatment of the men under him.
