intoxicated w asps.

Wasps have great fondness
for over-ripe fruit, especially
pears, plums and sweet apples.
The sugar of these fruits has a
tendency to pass into a kind of
alcohol in the ordinary process
of rotting, and after imbibing
large quantities of this liquid
the wasps become outrageously
intoxicated. They crawl away
in the grass in semi somnolent
condition and remain till the eff
fects have passed off, when they
will goat it again. 1t is while in
this condition that they do their
worst singing. A person re-
ceiving a sting from one Of these
intoxicated wasps will suffer Sc
verely from nerve poisoning for
days.

With many of lis our parents

three score years and ten, but if
we still have them in the family
circle how highly we should APP
preciate them, The snow of
winter comes and sheds it white

mountains, but soon the sweet

away. Not so with that upon

is worthy and right. He is new.
er taught that success is solely
dependent upon faithful, con.
slstent effort properly applied
and concentrated. He isn't
urged to early discover his own
talents and capabilities; nor to
choose that branch of the worlds
work for which he is adapted.
He is never shown that the most
lasting compensation and happi-
ness III this world lies in the
success and remunerations which
are earned by honest effort in
the paths of strict duty and in
'tegrity. He sees only the sweat
and CRIME and WEAKNESS of la
Dor and comparing these with
the apparent delight, pleasures
and easy existences of those
whom he knows have suflicien-
cy of this worlds goods, he draws
a false conclusion therefrom.
He must become rich, and that
soon, to escape the disagreeable
features of life. Possibly he
goes to work in u shop, under
parental pressure. His distaste
for this slow means of advance
ment increases to positive hate.
He is u failure. He hasn't q
chance in this "bum" old town.
He imagines other places better;
and feels he must seek these
new, alluring pastures. He
hasn't the money to pay his fare,
but other men have used freight
trains for vehicular purposes,
why not him2 He ultimately
goes. The first time he begs his
bread he is ashamed; but an
empty stomach is importunant,
and will not be denied. He is
also ashamed to go back home
and confess failure, after his
boastful assertion and promises.
A few nights ON the road, con-
stantly on the alert for train
men and police, in order to es-
cape injury and arrest; the high
ly celebrating intoxication of
the wild night rides, and the
succeeding resultant enervation;
the evil associations of other
tramps deeper in vice and degra-
dation than himself and the arti-
fees of life ON the road, which
he eagerly imbibes from their
experience; the deadly lassitude |
and WEAKNESS, so necessarily the
result of the irregular life he
leads; acquisition of heretofore
vermin on his unwash4
ed body; all these combine to
destroy what little ambition and
self-respect he has still remain
ing. The die is cast. The work
is complete. He is hobo for
life; except he be rescued by
some unaccountable vagary of
inscrutable fate, or the revival
of some dormant, good impulse
which will lead to his reforma-
ton. BY long odds the great
causes of the major part of
trampdom are those which in
duce a man to lose hold on self
and the esteem of those
with whom he is in daily con-
tact, acting upon a sensitive,
nature. In the category

1T possible we are living in an
age when parental authority is a
myth and burlesque, such
seems to be the case. Has the
time come when parents are only
parents in name. and not in

has been sown in the home gar
den, when parents acknowledge
they have no power to reduce
their offspring to obedience, and
hold them in subsection? All!
that seed has been sown by the
hand of the enemy of obedience.

Bad company is like u nail
driven into,a post, which after
the first or second blow can be
drawn out with little difficulty !:
but being once driven in up to
the head, the 'pinchers cannot
take hold to draw it cut, which
can only be done by the des-
truction of the wood. You may
be ever so pure, you cannot asso-
ciate with bad companions with
out falling into bad odor. From
impure air we take diseases;
from bad company vice and i'm

Beautiful lives have blossomed
in the darkest places, as pure
white lilies full of fragrance on
the Shiny stagnant waters. No
possession is so productive of
real influence as a cultivated in
tellect. Wealth, birth and Off
cial station may and do secure to
their possessors an external, sup
CRITICAL courtesy; but they never
did command the reverence Of
the heart. 1t is only to the man
of large and noble soul, to him
who blends a cultivated mind
with an upright heart, that men
Yield the tribute of deep and
genuine respect.

Parents do wrong in keeping
their children hanging around
home in idleness and sheltered
and enervated by parental indul-
gence. The eagle does better.
1t stirs up its nest when the
young eagles are able to fly.
They are compelled to shift for
themselves for the old eagle lit
orally turns them out and at the
same time tears all the down
and feathers from the nest. IT'S
this rude and rough experience
that makes the king of birds, so
fearless in his fight and so expert
in his pursuit of prey. 1t is q
misfortune to be born with q
silver spoon in your mouth.
Riches often hang like a mill
stone about the neck of ambi-
tious young people,

Have the courage to cut the
most agreeable acquaintance you
have, when you are convinced he
lacks principle; a friend should
bear with friends infirmities,
but not with his vices. He that
does base thing in zeal for his
friend, burns the golden thread
that ties their hearts together.
The most tritiing actions that
effect mans credit are to be
regarded. The sound of your
hammer at five in the morning
or nine at night, heard by q
creditor, makes him easy six
months longer; but if he sees
you at a billiard table or hears
your voice at a saloon when you
should be at work, he sends for
his money the next day.
