Some people think it a mystery
that notwithstanding good advice
their sons grow up to be wild and
reckless young men. If these boys
we're taught from infancy that
home was the proper place for
them after dark, rather than prowl
ing around the streets, annoying
well and sick people alike, much of
this mystery might be explained.
and young men with better moral
characters and more intelligent
minds would be the result. No
parent need expect pure morals in
a boy that prowls the streets at
night, even if he does go to Sunday
school.

BLESSINGS on New Buildings.

It is custom in Russia to open all
new buildings and institutions, public
or private. with a religious dedication.
Even the proprietary builder of a
small cottage or workshop who can
not afford to pay for the attendance
of a priest to bless and sprinkle with
holy water new structure always
hcists a wooden cross, nailed to the
topmost pole in the scaffolding, as his
dwelling or workshop approaches COM
pletion, symbolic of an appeal for
Gods blessing upon the new premises.
This custom appeared somewhat in
congruous on the establishment of the
government liquor monopoly, when
every vodka store was solemnly
opened with religious ceremony.
At Kishineff, when a new opera
house was opened with the usual re-
ligious function, the local journal,
Bessarabian Life, made some soothing
remarks, for which the proprietary ed
itcr has been sentenced to four
months Imprisonment.

The Sunday School.

How servicable are they who
are reared in and taught to love
Sunday School. Look at the
churches of today in this bright
age and see how people are cropping
in darkness where there are none.
On the other hand notice the
churches where they are wide
awake Sunday Schools, the audi
ence both old and young seem so
much enlightened by attending
Sunday School till their pastor can
explain the scriptures with much
more ease than to an audience
where no Sunday School exist. 1t
is the duty of every father and
mother to go and carry their child
rem to the Sunday School, don't
send them alone, they may get into
mischief. From the Sunday School
we have many eful boys and
girls of today who will make bright
and useful men and women of to-
morrow. Look at the boys and
girls who spend their Sundays in
romping on the streets, playing
marbles, ball and other games.
Follow them from childhood to
maturity and see if you don't find
them liz the calaboose, the Jail and
the state prison. We older people
are responsible for so much of this
and we should stop sleeping over
our rights and do our Masters bid
ding, which is Remember the
Sabbath Day to Keep it Holy"

The committee on local and
private legislation was called upon
for report. Mr.. Caldwell, of that
committee, presented a minority
report on the George county bill,
in regard to which an unfavorable
report was made yesterday by a
majority of the committee. The
minority report points out that
petition to the legislature is sign
ed by 600 tax payers of Greene and
Jackson counties, from which it is
proposed to take the required ter
ritory; that it would leave Jackson
county with 600 square miles;
Greene, with IT'S square miles, and
give George county $50 miles, and
that the signature to the petition
represents 80 per cent OF the adult
popItuaion and tax payers. The
new county would have property of
taxable value of 1000, 900, Jackson
81, 00O0,0 90, and Greene So, $50, 600.

Election, and the exercise of emil ght-
ened conscience while looking the
facts in the face. Such is it extent
that many millions of acres are oc-
cupled in its growth, producing
millions of tons annually and cost
ing the human race fifteen thousand
millions of dollars. How appalling
such state of things while want
and suffering are all around us. Yet
this enormous expenditure is en-
tirely useles. No one claims that
he is the better for the use of to-
bacco in any form. 1t is a mere
habit, innocently formed, and
while at first perhaps pleasure,
has grown to be a master an a ty-
rant.
Not only this, but it is an often
sive, filthy habit. finding no place
in the church, in the parlor, or
elsewhere, as a high order of So
ciety meets and INDUCES in exer-
cises which the higher nature
~~aves.
Multitudes using it are ashamed
of the fruits of it, and would be
glad to be rid of it if they knew
how to break its enchantment.
But this is not all, or even the
worst of it. 1t is injurious to
health and when taken to excess OPP
crates as of a poisonous nature,
weakening the system and leading
to premature death.
Such evils, together with its
enormous expenditure, ought to
make sober, rejecting, conscien-
tious men consider whether it can
be right to continue such habit as
this.

A Gentleman of Leisure.

There are very few grown men,
or even "stout boys" in this coun-
try who have any pride in being
out Of business. Occasionally one
is found, however, and when found
he is worth making note of. We
ran across a genuine specimen the
other day, or rather, he ran again
st us-emphatically against US
against our sympathy, but not
against our pity. We did pity him,
and that was the extent of our re-
cognition. He was dressed fault
lessly-that is, if the extreme of
latter-day fashion can be called
faultless; he Had beautiful white
hands and teeth, his hair was parted
in the middle idle his !downy, ii mrustache
adroitly .curled,. a gold, mounted
eyeglass dangled from button hole
of his vest, and a ".nobby' little
walking stick was twisted in his
bejeweled lady fingers. He was
proud to say that he was a gentle
man of leisure" We inferred as
much before he said it. What else
could have been inferred? What
earthly use could the mortal thing
be put to? Physical force he had
not; his mind was as vacant as an
exhausted receiver; and he seemed
to have no excuse for living except
to advertise some tailoring estab-
lishment. 1t is something to the
credit of this country that such
specimens of the genus homo are
rare. We can only wish that they
were SO. rare that circus men would
be induced to cage them with their
monkeys; : though the monkeys
would be apt to protest against the
