TO BE CONTINUED.
How to Raise Boys.

. Bishop j. II. Vincent, In n recent
lecture at Philadelphia, made some
very truthful and interesting state
ments. The boy he described was the
one who failed to recognize the pro-
prieties Of life, who always spoke when
it were better for him TO keep quiet,
the noisy, generous, mlschief-loving,
whistling, everyday boy. Not the
bad boy who was always hanged at
twenty years of age, nor the good boy
who always died at the age of ten.
Making the boy baby as the starting
point. the Bishop drew a picture OF
hip as a pet, admired and caressed
more than at any other portion Of his
life. After babyhood came the second
stage, the period when, If any trait in
his character was noticeable, 1t was
the fact that he was not a girl;
when he blossomed out in trousers, in
to the pockets OF which he thrust his
chubby fists, and wore boots, and al
ways wanted to be outdoors At this
period the boy is extremely honest.
He always tells what he thinks, and
worse than all, what his mother and
sister think. The boy forgets nothing,
and his memory at this date is simply
wonderful.
Then there was hiatus OF some four
years. and the boy was introduced at
the age of twelve years. Life to him
was one long April fool day. This boy
could run farther, eat more and sleep
longer than any thing created. At
this piriod he had fewer friends and
sympathizers than at any time OF his
life. In fact the only friend ne now
had was his mother, and no boy should
ever forget this. The Bishop con-
trasted the life OF girl eleven years
with that OF boy, and thought the
girl had much the better OF him. She
was dressed neatly and was the pride
of the family, while the boy was al
ways dirty and incorrigible. At this
period of the boys life he formed far
better estimate of his father than his
father did Of him.
The last period OF a boys life was
when he was sixteen. This glimpse of
the boy is very brief, for he believes
himself to be a man. Now he washes
in perfumed soap. oils his hair, takes
great pride in his dress, especially his
cravats, shaves and shaves with fixe d
purpose-to raise beard.
At this time he has opinions, ani
the questions OF theology which have
bothered theologians for centuries are
decided by him off-hande1. He knows
every thing worth knowing; calls his
father the sold ma1," a1d makes great
pretenses OF authority. Bat confidence
in himself is unlimitei. But at this
period his love for his mother is shown
in its first manly light, and it is the
most pleasing trait of his character.
In closing the Bishop urges thrc,
things in the boys behalf. He would
have the boy attend public services in
church on every Sunday; he believed
that all boys should be sent to public
schools, and urged that the best teachers
be selected for his tutors; and last, the
boy should feel the influences OF home
life. Then the home should be made
pleasant and he severely condemned
the parlor from which the boy was ex
cluded.

follows him back to Carson to set
