AFTERNOON SESSION.
Educate the Girls.

Educate the girls" says an exchange,
"and the boys will soon be there" They
will, indeed, if the girls are tolerably good
looking And they won't wait until the
course of instruction is fully completed,
either. have known young man to get
more than half through his counting before
he thought to ask his girl whether she had
any education or not. So it won't do to
depend too much on such maxims as the
above; they are apt to mislead. Should
the father of an attractive daughter defer
her education, thinking that the boys
would keep away in consequence, he would
find that he had made a mistake They
will come just as readily as they would
were she whole female seminary of learn
ing. Then, on the other hand if you push
the education of homely, disagreeable
girl with the utmost diligence, will the
boys "be there ?" Not much they won't
They will go around the corner and sit up
with the pretty girl who never saw the
inside OF a school-house in her life. This
is perhaps wrong, but it is the way the
world goes with the young and thought
less. When Adam was counting the fair
Eve, did he inquire what seminary she
graduated from Did he examine her in
arithmetic, English grammar, logic, geo.
graphy and the use of the globes Of
course he didn't He didn't care cent
whether she knew beans or not. She wasn't
educated, and yet Adam was there, Eli.
Education is very good thing for girls to
have, but you can't bank on it altogether
in winning husbands.--1e1as SJtings

difference Between Men and Boys.

There is a difference between boys and
men, but it is a difference of self-knowl-
edge chiefly. A boy wants to do every
thing because he does not know he cannot
a man wants to do something because he
knows he cannot do everything; boy
always fails, and man sometimes succeeds
because the man knows and the boy does
not know A man is better than boy
because he knows better; he mas learned
by experience that what is a harm to
others is greater harm to himself, and
he would rather not do it. But boy
hardly knows what harm is, and he does
it mostly without realizing that it hurts.
He cannot invent anything, he can only
initiate; and it is easier TO initiate evil than
good. You can initiate war, but how are
you going to initiate peace? So boy
passes his leisure in contriving mischief.
If you get another fellow to walk into a
wasp's camp, you can see him jump and
hear him howl, but if you do not, then
nothing happens. If you set a dog
to chase a cat up tree, then something
has been done; but if you do not set the
dog on the cat, then the cat just lies in the
sun and sleeps, and you lose your time. If
a boy could find out some way of doing
good, so that he could be active in it, very
likely he would want to do good now and
then; but as he cannot, he very seldom
wants to do good-Hdrper's Young People.
