KEEPING THE BOYS AT HOME
IN THE EVENING.
PRIZE ESSAY BY MRS. NJ. A. ROGER.

81 know just the time when my
mother lost my confidence" said a
young minister to me. " It was one
day when about nine years old on
coming home from school, | began to
tell her some bad language that I had
heard. She stopped me saying, Oh
now, Georgia, you must not come home
and tell me everything that you hear at
school, These words burst on me like
peal of thunder. They struck me
dumb. walked out doors, but the sun
was darkness and the moon gave no
light, although it was only three o'clock
in the afternoon. Up to that time when
ever had seen Or heard anything that
was wrong | had told mother, but she
never again had to tell me not to repeat
what | heard at school. And my boyish
confidence in and veneration for nv
mothers judgment were broken"
What mistake that mother made!
Here was her golden opportunity to
point out the evil and warn against it.
SO long as she held her boy confidence
she had him safe, for as the childish
mind poured itself out to her, she could
see the direction of the current and turn
or strengthen it. She had not studied
her child's character, or she would have
known that with him only one such re-
pulse could ever be made. How few
mothers make a study of their children's
characters; yet this is the key to sue
ceSStul government She who under
stands her own nature, who remembers
the influences which dominated her
during her child's prenatal life and
carefully watches the unfolding of the
human flower, until she knows lust
where the shoots must be broken off and
what conditions are needed for tbe d.
VeIopment of this or that part of the
plant; she it IS whose 9 children shall
rise up and call her blessed"
Another cementing influence which
parents often neglect is the cultivation
OF aHectlon between brothers and sisters

must be begun when they are young.
An eminent English jurist says, "a
large majority of all the criminals who
are brought before me have been made
what they are by being allowed to be
away from home evenings, between the
ages of eight and sixteen, This being
the case how are the boys to be kept at
home? The first essential is cheerful,
pleasant mother. She need not be finely
clad If her dress is neat and her face
good and kind, she will make in her
boys mind picture so attractive that
no pretty barmaid will easily supplant
lit. But this is not enough; the home
also must be made such bright and
CHEEKY place that the mere thought of it
will quicken his returning steps.
4" How is this to be done?" Instead of
having bare. white walls, cover them
with pretty paper, which can be bought
for twelve cents roll. Turkey red
calico at eight cents yard will make
the old chairs look gay and comfortable.
Cretonnes and colored canton fannels
make rich and inexpensive window cur
tains. And few pots of flowers, two
or three good photographs and chromos,
and your dreary room becomes cosy and
homellke. Do not be afraid to light the
parlor fire and use the best room. mol
place is too good for our husbands and
children. A pleasant place and a loving
mother are good deal, but not all
employment must be found for head and
hands. The whole philosophy of the
matter lies in keeping the mind active
at work or play. When the father sits
asleep in the chimney corner and the
mother silently mends or knits, the
quiet and dullness become insupportable
and Jack starts out to play: first on, the
street corner, then to loaf, smoke, drink

ing Of the roll two-hupdred and twenty-five

for the next year was the first business
transacted. Col. Hoyt was reelected Presi-

MESSAGE OF THE GOVERNOR.

On our outside appears brief summary
Of Governor Sheppards message to the Cen
eral Assembly with his remarks. for the
most part. in full on the assessment Of prop
ery-collection of taxes, and the Judiciary
system of the State. The message in its en-
S,ety is a mastery and comprehensive re-
view of the condition of affairs il South
Carolina at this time. 1t is replete with
practical suggestions for the improvement
Of the inefficient, as well as expensive parts
of the Government. These defects in the
law pointed out by Gov. Sheppard, and the
remedies recommended, merit serious and
intelligent consideration at the hands ofthe
law makers Of the State. Gov. Sheppard
has been the Executive of the State only o
few months, but even this short tine has
been sufficiently long to open the eyes Of
the whole State to his rare executive ablll-
ties. The possessor of extraordinary men
tai attainments, expansive views, and with
an extensive knowledge Of the pohty Of this
Government, his administration -.,-S been
conspicuous for rare ability, wisdom and
probity displayed Gov. Sheppard leaves
the gubernatorial chair, carrying with him
the respect, esteem, admiration, and good
will we venture to say, Of every citizen of
the State.
We are prone to attempt cursory COM
ment of the Governors message, but time
and space at this time do not allow.

one hundred bales the present season, the
average weight being 500 pounds, and the
average loss in weight pounds, which is
nothing to complain Of These gentlemen
are careful and attentive in the preparation
Of cotton for market, and their factor en-
ploys his own weigher and accounts by their

FORTY EDWARDS,

ST.. Louis, December 1.-THE particu.
lars Of the robbery Yesterday near Belle.
vue station, Texas, are that three robbers
who were unmarked and who made no
effort at concealment, arrived at the water
tank a few minutes before the train.
When it arrived, one Of the robbers with
d, avn pistol ordered Engineer Ayers and
the fireman, q. G. Miller, ard another en-.
gineer who was riding in the cab, to alight,
which they did. lie then marched them
some thirty feet from the train and then
went through them taking all the valua.
bes they had. While this was going on
the other two men went through the train.
It appears that one Of the passengers in
the rear car who was looking out Of the
window and saw the operation with the
train men, divining the situation, went in.
to the forward cars and notified the other
passengers Of what was going on, and told
them to secrete their money. This they
did in various ways giving most of 1t and
their diamonds to several ladies aboard.
Miss Kate Haas, Of Fort Worth, took
charge Of $1,000 and other valuables
Mrs. Po,tsdam, Of New York, received
$1,000 and some diamonds, and Mrs. Wit.
tick, of Carthage, Missouri took her hus.
bands gold watch and several hundred
dollars. Mrs. Wittick was greatly in.
censed at the affair and boldly stood in the
car and asked if forty ,nen were going to
submit to such an outrage at the hands of
two highwaymen.
About $1,,ooo in money and $1,000
worth Of diamonds and other valuables
were left BY the robbers in their haste to
get through the train and because they
did not search the ladies. They were evi.
IDENTIFY novices in the business and went
away with the paltrv sum Of $lo5, three
gold watches, ten silver watches, five re.
volvers and one gold ring. The robbers
left the train at the rear end Of the sleeper,
horses standing near by and
rode rapidly away. The train was then
hurried on to Bellevue, where kilograms
were sent to Superintendent Frost at Fort
Worth, who Immediately replied, offering
$3.50 reward for each robber and in less
than an hour five posses Of officers and
citizens were in pursuit.
Superintendent Connors was on the
train, having in charge two deserters with
a guard Of five negro soldiers Of the 24th
artillery. Mr.. Corners commanded the
soldiers to draw their revoIvers and fight
the robbers but several passengers opposed
this SO strongly and pleaded SO earnestly
in behalf of the women and children on
board that the superintendent reluctantly
yielded and when the robbers reached the
soldiers and demanded their weapons they
quietly gave them up.
