AN ENTERTAINING WRITER DISCUSSES
SEVERAL SUBJECTS.

DEAR AUNT JENNIE AS I am at
leisure this evening, [ will enjoy the
pleasure of writing for our Social
Chat. [ see several of the young
writer's wish to have some themes
suggested on which may write. It
is to be supposed that they would
like the subjects to be presented by
yourself or Careless Tom, or some
other of our most able correspond
ents. It is presumable that this is
because they fear that if they choose
subjects for themselves, the themes
so chosen might be banned, and their
letters consigned to oblivion.
There r many and vital questions
confronting the citizens of this State
at this time, and no one would be at
a loss for a subject, if all matters
were allowed discussion. So I will
request that you propose some
themes that are permissible and let
u young ladies and gentlemen try
discussing them.
am no critic, but 1 would like to
say to our young people thatin writ
ing for the public they should not
use slang, and should not say "girls
and boys when speaking of ladies
and gentlemen, or misses and youths.
Jut think how rude it would sound
if a young man should enter a room
full of ladies with the salutation !:

ABOUT YOUR BOY.

DEAR AUNT JENNIE We so often
hear a father say of his son, "Let
the boy alone, if he has the making
of a man in him it will out" Then
he lets his son associate with the
lowest, run the streets, be idle, and
in fact do anything his heart desires.
And the father says, eff he has the
making of a man it will out" But
he is wrong-decidedly wrong! Each
person born into this old world of
sin and of sorrow has a mission to
fill and the parents of that child help
or hinder, Is the case may be, more
so than anyone else.
Depend upon it your baby boy
has the making of a man in him :;
but you must help him or what will
your boy become? First of all,
keep your son from temptation.
Now by this I do not mean keep him
in the house to be reared like a girl,
but while he is young keep him, if it
10 POoS4U4O3 14OL4 1O"P 4u1O pdL-
ions for should he make them his
friends it stands to reason he would
become like them. You know it is
human nature to grow worse instead
of better.
Above all things keep your boy
from idleness for you remember the
old proverb, ''Satan finds work for
idle hands to do" Some time since
a young negro boy was shot by a
friend, accidently, it is said, and his
whole life is shown by one word
unemployed" You can we'll inn
agine his life Of idleness, folly and
sin: for isn't idleness, itself a sin?
Who knows but that his mother
worked hard to earn money to buy
food for this strong young man while
he should have worked to support
her?
It is that way all over the world
look on our streets of an evening
and night and see the boys and young
men, both white and colored, fooling
away time. And, although I am
sorry to say it, the majority of them
are also idle during the day. Make
your boy learn the pleasure of work
that it is not mere drudgery-for

FLoss1E FINDS A GIRL FOR LUCIUs.

DEAR AUNT JENNIE :-Iagain knock
for admittance this morning, and as
I have a big watermelon lying in the
shade, I must make haste and finish
my letter so that [ can eat it,
Summer is passing, and soon the
fruit and watermelons will be gone,
too. am not going to school now,
but expect to start sOon-not to col
lege, though, as I will have to wait
till I learn more at home schools. l
am only sixteen years old now.
Some of the chatterers wrote about
a sisters influence over her brother.
Now, a brother also has more infu-
ence over his sister than many people
think, and 1 know many things a
brother might do to help make his
sister enjoy helping. Here are some
of the things he could do:
Take her to church.
Help her sweep yards, if she has
that to do.
Make pretty boxes for her flowers.
Tell her that she looks nice when
she puts on a new dress.
Learn to put his things away him
self, and not strew them all over the
room.
My brothers are good to me, and 1
help them all I can, but neither they
nor I do as we'll as we ought.
Well, Lucius, there is a girl who
lives near us that would just suit
you. She combs her hair right
straight back and twists it into a
hard knot, and I don't think she has
ever seen any complexion powders
She seems to care very little about
her appearance, only caring tie be
clean. For my part, [ like to dress
and the more curls the betterfOr me
and if people don't like me because
I try to look as we'll as [ can, 1 don't
care. 1 know I like people just as
we'll, if not better, who look nice and
dressy. FLO6sIE.

THE OLDEN TIME.

The olden time of long ago!
When skies were clear and blue,
And hearts were young and light, you know,
And yet so good and true;
When Syes' was Eyes" and mo- was "nO,"
And tears were rare and few.
Our world was hedged by bounding hill,
Beyond we could not see.
We did not have the thoughtful skill
To solve the mystery
OF distant place, nor yet the will
To care if such could be.
For us alone arose the sun;
For US the moon at night
Came stealing up when day was done,
With disk of frozen light.
And when their courses these had run
They just dropped out of sight.
The singing birds from Southland came,
But that was loft somewhere"
The bowling winds that none can tame
Rushed in from "Over there"
And flying snOw-"GOd made the same
From bits of cloud and air.
The long ago, now lost to view,
The time of love and song,
When days were all of life we knew,
With nights a minute long,
We dreamed of things we meant to do
Has life proved dreaming wrong?

that the boy makes the man +aIl
for instance a boy of fifteen bonoat

and see this boy a man, still honaot
truthful and upright?
Don't think that your son has -

and sin? Make him understand tbot
in every little thing he is to do bfs

stand that you expect him to he o

cause or reason not to do so. Take
interest in your boys play, in his
reading and his pets. AS far as Nos
sible be a companion to him. Teach
him to love you; to obey Won
through love, not fear.
Never let him argue with Won

father is worthy of that love and
trust after his son is older he will
not hear himself spoken Of by him as

why do we never hear a bow in

young woman should say to her
gallant boy, hand me some water. ;"
Yet one is as bad as the other.
Very often we hear the express
ions "My Teller, !" 'tmy best Teller, >
"my daisy ''my best girl" etc.
How much more polite it would be
to say: "My admirer," ''my gal
lant," ''my sweetheart, or ''the
lady of my choice"
Miss Jennie Acton seems to think
that the operation of extracting the
small leeches that aus gapes in
chicks, from the windpipes of the
chickens is an exceedingly difficult
task. I have practised the same
ever since [ was a child, and l will
inform her that the reason the
chicks die under the operation IS be-
cause she waits too long before she
tries to relieve them-in fact, until
they are already chokin. She should
perform on them as soon as they be-
gin to cough. I twist three horse
hairs together, and tie the ends.
Then take three of these and make q
threble loop, insert in the windpipe,
give a twist and draw. If the chick
is quite small 1 use only n of these
twisted cords.

to blame for the drunkenness and
~lawIessness that is seen in the Oppo-
site sex. It is certainly an erroneous
idea that the curling of one persons
hair can have any detrimental effect
on another person. We curl a child's
hair because we admire curls, and
not to please or disgust other people.
Tt is to be presumed that young
ladies choose their costumes and
dress their hair for the very same
reason.
I would suggest that brothers who
are inclined to be wild try to initiate
their sisters in manners and charac-
ter, instead of finding fault with
their appearance as regards fashion.
It is a fact that men "follOw the
fashion" equally as much as their
sisters do; else why do they some
times wear needle pointed shoes and
again the reverse? And why do
they carry a rabbits foot" when it
is a fashion to do so, the Scriptures
at the same time forbiding all kinds
of sorcery?
In writing for our Chat some time
ago I quoted Agur's prayer to prove
that both wealth and poverty tend
to immortality, and by unexplainable
mistake attributed it to David. So
able a prayer should certainly be
credited to the author, therefore I
correct it. 1 learned to repeat
"Agur's prayer" when I was too
small to understand it, and the
longer I live the more sublimity,
beauty and truth do I g in it.
