cuLtivatina Amusen,enta.

Don't provide inducements to get a child to love amusements. It may en' courage habit that will sadly inter- fere with a sincere and useful life. Don't make n boy feel that he cannot waste too much time fin having fun and catering to his senses. Life is real and earnest, and Amusement is ad- missible at times, but should not be the rule. The manly youth is for fun. but he is not always engaged in striv- ing for his own pleasure. He should not be educated into that idea of life. He should not be furnished with in clinations away from what Is true and real in life. It is q serious matter tempering with a youths nobler aspir- ation. Providing amusement is apt to prove nn unnatural adjunct in educa' tion.-Columbus Journal.
