Good Lessons for Young Men and
Women.

The young man who puts his shout
der to the wheel AID labors is always
respected more than dressed up, idle
dude and we do not mean to say BY
this that Young men who are able
should not dress well every day. 1t
does not matter so much what kind OF
labor II is. either mental or physical,
so it is labor The boy who takes
buck saw and earns something for a
living, is not one who will be found
in the crowd around q church door on
Sunday night, making dlsagreeable
remarks about people as they leave
the sacred edifice; and such boy
will always command the respect of
his fellows because he can always find
some thing with which to protitably
engage his time. A young man would
encourage his own self-respect by be-
ing boot black father than pose as
idle and worthless, and this is apple
able to young lady. If she can
wabble around piano keys and sing,
''who will care for mother now, "
while mother Is wrestling with the
wash tub. it is either the fault OF that
mother or else there is something
wrong in that girls head. To be q
proficient housekeepet is one of the
highest young lady can have be-
cause it fits her for her share of the
duties Of life, when she takes wife
hood on herself. and when to this is
added cultivated mind and a kind
and loving heart. she is eminently
fitted to direct the steps of Gods little
ones, that are given to her to bright
Ell her pathway and beautify and
adorn her life upward toward the best
and highest good-a pure life. rich in
in devotion to the God that gave it.

AN OLD BILL FOR WATER.
Mad River Water Co Says City of Wa .- tcrbury Owes $1O,OOO.

One of the worst things that could happen a corporation or an individual
 is to be set down ill tue public mind as a bad pay. and by all accounts that's just the t@ Waterbury has got itself into in certain quarters. so that if it wanted q bucket of water tomorrow it could not have it from the Mad River Water Co without planking down the dust in advance. This was ascartaincd quite recently when the board of public works talked of rig ging up the pumping station so as to be in q position to get water from the Mad river i'll case the reservoirs should give out. The company claims the city owes them S10.O0D for water taken from the Mad river during the time of the old water board and that while they have made several efforts to come to an understanding about it the au- thorities never showed d disposition to meet tho company half way, and now it is said that if tie city attempts to use the pumping station again the Mad River Co will get out an injunction right off and put a stop to the business in short order. The company present cd q bill to the city during the mayor alty of Thomas D. Barlow. but nothing was done about 1t until after the elec- ton of Mayor KiltluT. when the Hon F. J. Kingsbury appeared before the board of public works and explained thet situation, stating that S1OO00 was a low figure in lieu Of all claims and that this offer was conditioned on q speedy settlement. The whole matter was referred to a committee. and that is all the city knows about it. So far as we have been able to learn no one questioned the legality of the bill or said hc considered the sum exhorbi- tant. and for this reason it would seem rather nasty actiCn on the part of any one connC ctCd with the Mad River Water Co to accuse the city of refus- ing to meet it's just obligations, simply because 1t wants to inQnuire into the why and the wherefore of I bill of this size before committing itself to any policy on it. We object to any man, no matter what his stnnding in the community. calling the city of Water bury q dead beat.
