n Notwithstanding the rainy weather on Sat
urday. Prof Browning and Miss Sadie Knel-
Ter, of Baltimore, gave an entertainment at
New Oakland NJ E. Church, South. Prof.
Walker and family, and Miss Hobbs, of
Browningsville, were expected TO be present,
but were kept home by the rain.
The audience, though very small, highly
appreciated the delightful program given.
Prof Browning sang several familiar hymns
and other selections. A new song, 1.-The
Cat Came Back received great applause.
The recitations given by Miss kneller were
excellent, so say those who are capable judges.
One young man we heard say that he would
not have missed the entertainment for dol
lar, while another declared that he'd rather
walk four miles through the mud than miss it.
Prof. G. W. Walker aud family will give a
concert at this place November 18th.

Parents often wonder who or what has
ruined their boys. They have been in school
every day, but the lessons Of department and
morality inculcated there seem to have
wasted on barren ground. The truth is, the
boys are allowed to be on the streets from
the time school closes until late at night.
The street corner is the best, place in the
world for teaching vice, profgacy aud crime.
Nearly all the bad language and idle, vicious
habits which boys acquire, are learned on
the streets late at night. Teachers may be
able to accomplish a little in counteracting
these evil influences, bat much Of their labor
is in vain until parents cooperate with them
by keeping their bows off the streets ut night
