A WORD TO THE BOYS.
Mlss Willard. to Union signal.

I have made up my mind to speak to you about litt,e matter, for be- lieve you want to do what is fair. Now, when the girls study just the same books you do, and often go far ahead of you at schOol when @ many of them study stenogrAphy, tclc- graphing and other kinds of business, become teachers, doctors, missionaries, etc., as they are doing more and morc each year, what right have you to sit about as lazy as 2 cat and let thesc girls work and tug. till they arc tired out for your comfort and to do things which you should attend to youreelip Don't they like to run and play as we'll as you do? Don't they need the exercise and fun that you get In tho great, splendid outdoors lust ss muchE Arc you not physically stronger and better able to boar the heat of the kitchen and the breathcd over rand over air of in-the- house than theyl Ought you not, then, in your big, hearty, good naturcd lash ion to "give them lift" every time whom the work presses on them and to take care of your own room if they do of theirs2 It see,ns to mo this Is lust fair divide.
 Let me tell you about thrcc spicn- did boys l knew once on time. Their father died, and their dear mother was left to bring them up and to earn the money with which to do it. So these young fellows set In to holp her. Ky taking few boarSicrs, doing the work herself and practising econ omy this woman kept out of debt, and gave each of her sons a thorough edu- cation. But if they hadn't worked like beavers to help her she never could have done 1t. Her eldest boy only fourtecn-treated his mother as If she were the girl he loved best. Ile took the heavy jobs of homework oil her hands, put on his big apron and went to work with will; washed the potatoes, pounded tho clothes, ground the coffee, waited on table did any thing and everything that he could coax her to lot him do, and tho two younger ones followed his exam pie right along. Those boys never wasted their mothers money on to- bacco, beer or cards. They kept at work and found any amount of pleas ure in 1t. They were happy, jolly boys, too, full of fun, and every body not only liked but respected and ad- mired them. All tho girls in town praised them, and don't know any better fortune for boy than to bc praised by good girls nor anything 5sys like better. They all married noble and true women, and to-day one of those boys Is president Of col lege, goes to Europe every year, al- most, and is In demand for every good word and work another lives in one of the most elegant houses In Evans ton, and Is my "beloved physician !" while the third Is \ we'll to do whole salc grocer In Pueblo, Col, and a member of the city council. l tell you, boys who are good to their mothers and to their sisters in the house always grow up to be nice men. Now, Pm not blaming you, boys, nor any body else. know that any number of you arc good and generous as you can bc, and ] know, too, that you haven't been taught to think about these things.

CHARMED BY GAMBLING
Troy Times.

Of all vices gambling, perhaps, takes the strongest hold upon it's vic- tim. There is no other passion that a man will follow with such blind in- fatuation. Home, family, friends, all are forgotten by the individual who allows himself to be led into the vor- tex of gambling.
 Gambling has been common among most nations, civilized and uncivil- ized. Tacitus informs us that the an- cient Germans were so addicted to it that when stripped of everything else, they would stake at last their liberty and even their lives; the loser going into voluntary slavery; and though much younger and stronger than his antagonist, suffering himself to be bound and sold. The Romans were passionately fond of gambling during the empire, and various enactments were made against it. In England, also, gambling was early made the subject ofpenal legislation.
 It is astonishing how infatuated people will become in the pursuit of gambling. It is reported of Charles Porter, who, in the reign of Queen Anne, possessed one of the best es- tates in Northumberland, that he lost the whole of it at hazard in the space of six months. This madman, for we can call him nothing else, when he had just completed the loss of his last acre at a gambling house in Lon- don, and was proceeding down the stairs to throw himself into carriage to be conveyed home to his house in town, resolved to have one more throw to try to retrieve his losses, and im- mediately returned to the room where the play was going on.
 Nerved for the worst that might happen, he insisted that the person he had been playing with should give him one chance of recovery or fight with him. His proposition was this That his carriage and horses, the loose money that he had in his pockets, his town house, plate and furniture-in short, all he had left in the world, should be valued in lump at 6 certain No persuasion could prevail on him to depart rom ms purpose. He threw and lost then, conducting the winner to the door, he told the coachman there was his master, and marched forth into the dark and dismal streets without a house or home or any cred itable means of support.
 Thus beggared, he retired to an ob- scure lodging in cheap part of the town. subsisting partly on charity, sometimes acting as the marker at a billiard table, and occasionally acting as a helper in livery stable. In his miserable condition, with nakedness and famine staring him in the face, exposed to the taunts and insults of those whom he had once supported, he was recognized by an old friend, who gave him ten guineas to purchase necessaries. He expended five pounds in procuring decent apparel with the remaining i've he repaired to . con- mon gaming house and increased them to fifty he then adjourned to one of the higher order of houses, sat down

Before two months shall have

night, "fPropose to land III Phila-
delphia $2,OOO,OOO worth Of gold
and silver bars and precious stones
now lying IN the bOttOm-.of the At
laatic Ocean, the treasure of the
sHuken English sloop~ofwar De
Braak, which went down in 179S."
The main obstacle heretofore to To-
eating the wreck, the Doctor says,
has been the variation of the NE
r%iiian, which has been accurately
solved by Lieutenant-Commander
Adams of the United States Navy,
who has been granted aIeave Of alb
sence by the secretary Of the navy to
further prosecute the search for the
De Braak, He will act as the chief OF
the expedition, which IS, the second
q fitted out by DR.. PancOast to
search for this wreck. The steam
boat Long Branch of New York has
been chartered for this expedition.
and after undergoing repairs she will
take on board a full complement OF
submarine divers, experts and Off
Gers in charge of Lieutenant Adams.
Everything Will be under strict
navy discipline. The spot
where she wreck is. said to be
is about a half mile of the
point Ct Cape Henlopen, and with
tbs powerful pumps from the steamer
ii Is expected that the mud will first
be washed away, and then the divers
will laad the bars Of the precious
metal ON the deck Oftne Long Branch.
4 revenue cutter will be asked for to
protect the treasure. The headQuar-
teFs of the expedition will be at Cape
May point. The De Braak, in which
the treasure is supposed to be buried,
sailed from Falmouth, England. on
on June 3, 1897, for the British
West Indies. She was commanded

While under mainsGT and reefed top
sail she capsized and sank with the
captain and 50 officers and seamen.
The rest OF the crew escaped IN the
ships boat and a pilot boat, which
was waiting TO take the pilot ashore.
Two hundred Spanish prisoners also
went down at the same time. The
De Braak was q licensed privateer
