WHAT BOYS SHOULD BE.-Firsl,
be true, be genuine. No educa'
ton is worth anything that does
not include this. A man had bet.
ter not know how TO read-he had
better never learn a letter of the
alphabet, and be true and genuine
in intention aud in action, rather
than be learned Iii all sciences and
in all languages, to be at the same
time false IN heart and counterfeit
IN life. Above all things, leach
the boys that truth is more than
riches, more than culture, more
than earthly power or position.
Second, be unselfish. TO care for
the comforts and feelings of others.
To be polite. To be just in all
dealings with others. To be gen.
erOus, noble and manly. This will
include a genuine reverence for
the aged and things sacred. Third,
be self-reliaut and seli-helpful
even from early childhood. TO be
industrious always, and sell sup
porting al The earliest proper age.
Teach them that all honest work is
honorable, and that an idle, use.
less life Of dependence OIL others
is d~isgraceful. When a boy has
learned these three things, when
he has made these ideas a part of
his being-however young he may
be, however poor or however rich,
he has learned some of the most
important things he ought to know
when he becomes a man. With
these three properly mastered il
will be easy 10 find all the rest.

The Boys Grandmother,

A stitch is always dropping in the everlasting
knitting;
And the needles that I've threaded no, you
couldn't count today;
And I've hunted for the glasses till l thought my
head was splitting,
When there upon her forehead calm clocks
they lay.
I've read to her till was hoarse the Psalms and
the Epistes,
When the other boys were burning tar barrels
down the street;
And I've stayed and learned myv erses when
heard their willow whis ties,
And I've stayed and said my chapter with IRE
in both my feet
But there always is peppermint or penny in her
There never was pocket that was half so big
and deep;
And she lets the candle In my room burn TO the
very socket,
While she stews and putters round about till
am sound asleep.
And whom I've been in swimming after father said
| shouldn't
And mother has her slipper OF according to the
rule;
IL sounds as silver, the voice that says II
wouldn't
The boy that won't go swimming such day
would he q fool,'
Sometimes there's something In her voice as II
she gave a blessing,
And look at her u moment and keep still
as a mouse;
And who she is by this time there is no nced OF
guessing:
For there's nothing like grandmother to have
about the house! -IndepeadenL
