IProt E li. Hoover.] In the naton) of almoet every boy there are fotur powerful influences at work, which tend, as' they are slowly osed, to strengthen or weaken his moral character, viz: 1. His restlessness, or desire to be doing something, which is the cause of many of his troubles (and his mother's fclso). 2. Hui gjegt craving for companion­ ship, and what he calls "fan," which seems to be a necessity to most healthy boys. 3. His fear of ridicule, which in many boys is so great that they can be induced to sin against conscience and stomach in order to escape it. 4. The desire to appear manly. The boy carries these four influences with him always, and it is a contest be­ tween us and Satan as to who shall con­ trol them, and the boy's fate depends much upon the issue of this contest. He is worth all the bravest efforts that can be made in his behalf. He is worth more than all the gold or honor you can win. If yon love him more than you love these things and even than yon love yourself or your own case and comfort, you can, with the Lord's help, hold him safe against "the world, the flesh, and the devil." Bat you must be "wise as serpents." Too much restraint will chafe and embitter. Too little is sure to end in ruin. You must make your child happy, for it is true "that discontent is the cause of most of the wickedness in the world." You must let him oee that you eagerly desire his happiness, and that he has your wannest sympathies in his efforts to And it. If he sees that you put off his gratification to suit your own con­ venience, he will suspect your lack of sympathy. If he sees you break your promises to him, or grant him an in­ dulgence that you have said was im­ proper for him, he will suspect your sincerity. If he sees you guilty of "make-believes," or false pretensions or shams of any sort whatever, you have lost his confidence and respect, and may expect soon to lose his affection and then to lose your hold on him. Children are very close and shrewd observers of human nature, and not easily deceived. Your only hope is dealing honestly and sincerely with them. But how shall you make them happy? I have asked this question a thousand times in school, and my an­ swer is, by keeping them occupied in pleasurable employments. Boys love to play, and that is your great last resort. But they, also love to work, at things they can do specially well. Then do you see to it, when you give them work or a lesson to learn, that you show them how to do it really well, and then accept it as well done. A school becomes restive and unhappy whenever there is not enough work to keep the pupils busy, or when they do not know how to> do it. Let all your instructions and directions be clearly stated, and do not cut out too much work but insist upon having every task that has been assigned fully and thor­ oughly executed. You must make them your compan­ ions. The boy wh6 is in love with his mother and sister, and looks upon his father as the very king of men, cannot easily be won away from them. But he must be met half way, for if he feels that he is only tolerated as a nuisance, and feels himself charged with all the offenses that have been committed, he will Ym pAWAyfiillg tempted ic SSCOir your expectations and make your bill of indictment a true one. Make him feel, at home, he is more than the prince of the blood, that his wants and wishes are always worth considering, and that even his opinion and good will are of some worth. Knit him to you by ties of a kind that Satan cannot knit. You have possession of the citadel; why should you be driven from it? It can only be by your own fault. Loyalty to you is deep rooted in your boy's nature, and if you are wise and alert he cannot be seduced from his allegiance to you. Strange Characteristics of a Color-Blind Man. "I should think you would meet with funny mistakes?" "I do. I often get on the wrong car late at night, and, after a while, find myself almost beyond walking distance of my destination. Of course I swear; but that don't help matters. The other day my wife said: 'Henry, do get a black suit of clothes this time, and don't come home here wearing that eternal brown cloth.' I said 'all right.' I bought What I was supremely con­ fident was a jet black suit. Upon go­ ing home I gazed proudly at my partner and said: 'See, I have got $his time a black suit.' She laughed, and to this day I am wearing those clothes, which are a deep brown. When I want a little circus all to myself, I close my eyelids and vigorously rub my eyeballs. I never see over seven colors, but I see these seven mighty quick and they dance around in spots and streaks and zigzag shapes like demons. Blood has a dull gray appearance, like stone. My in­ ability to distinguish colors renders me more susceptible to music than most people. The lost power is thus com­ pensated for."--Philadelphia Press. Lightning in the Family. The late Washington Irving was full of humor, of the most playful kind, and was always ready to give or take a joke. He once gave an amusing hit at Lewis Gaylord Clark, an intimate literary friend. , Washington Irving and Lewis Gay- lord Clark, while walking near Sleepy Hollow, were overtaken by a storm. There was great thundering and light­ ning, and Mr. Irving took refuge onder a tree, asking his companion: "Why don't you come in here and be as comfortably housed as I am ?" "I daren't do it, my dear sir," replied Mr. Clark. "I am afraid of lightning; my father was once nearly killed by it while standing under a tree in a thunder­ storm. He always enjoined it upon his twin boys never to do the like." said Mr. Irving, "that alters the case. If lightning runs in your family, I commend your caution." Ensilage. Chemists and most persons who have had no experience in feeding ensilage are opposed to this system, as being costly and wasteful. But hundreds of careful, observing farmers, who have had from one to five years' experience in its use, to a man pronounce it the most economical and profitable method of presenving and feeding green crops to all live farm stock, and especially for dairy products and growing animals. This wide difference of opinion may be, perhaps, reasonably accounted for by the fact that the chemist deals with dead matter entirely in his laboratory, while the farmer deals with life in the food and life in the The.chem- A CMFTOM Presentiment. v On the ooofcrion when the incident to -which I have referred occurred, Senator and Mrs. Linn were to be the guests at a formal dinner by the Presi­ dent at the White Honse. Early in the evening Dr. Linn, feeling somewhat ill, coyeluueu iu remain in his lodg­ ings. Mr. Webster calling at the mo­ ment, he was requested to escort Mrs. Linn and convey to the President his regrets at not being able to be one of his guests. At the proper hour Mrs. Linn, escorted by Mr. Webster, was conveyed in her carriage to the White House. The company had not been long seated at the table when Mrs. Linn remarked to Mr. Webster, by whose side she was seated, that she feared she had not done right in leav­ ing the doctor and that she felt an in­ clination, if she could do so without marring the occasion, to return to her hotel. Mr. Webster made some obser­ vation designed to dissuade her from departing then, saying that if she felt so disposed she could leave at an ear­ lier hour than the rest of the company. So strongly did the impulse to go grow upon her that stoon after- she made it known to Mr. Webster, and so urgent was she that he ^id as Bhe re­ quired, and quietly made, known to. the President her wishes. Mr. Webster accompanied her to the 'carriage, and at her request returned to the table. Her instruction to the driver was to proceed rapidly to her home, and twice on the way she enjoined him to drive faster. Arriving at the spot, without waiting for the groom to open the car­ riage door, she, in the quickest man­ ner, opened it herself and sprang to the room where she had left her hus­ band. As she entered she beheld her husband on the bed, and the clothing in flames! A moment more would have been too late. Dr. Linn was in a stupor, and in some manner, which was never perfectly explained, the bed­ clothes had taken fire. He was ill for a number of days. His life was saved apparently through his wife's presenti­ ment, which I think was as remarkable as any on record. Mrs. Linn related the facts to Mr. Webster, in my pres­ ence, on his calling the next morning. His observations after Mrs. Linn fin­ ished the narration of her first impulse to leave the President's table, her struggle to repress it, the growth of the presentiment till it over-mastered her, the ride homeward, her anxiety for greater haste, her bursting into the room, her husband's danger and rescue --to which Mr. Webster listened with absorbing attention--were character­ istic of the man--solemn and impres­ sive beyond my ability to repeat.-- Washington correspondent. Statues in the Capitol* The statue of Fulton, being in sitting posture, is a departure from the rule displayed in other works of art in Stat­ uary Hall in the Capitol, and is favorably commented upon. Mr. Clark, the archi­ tect of the Capitol, says he has heard nothing unfavorable upon it as a work of art, and he considers it a meritorious production, vigorous in action and in­ dicative of intense thought in the sub­ ject. As to the propriety of according Fulton the honor of having first con­ ceived the theory of steam navigation he says it has been intimated to him that when the statue, is formally pre­ sented to Congress a protest wiii be made in favor of John Fitch and Rum- sey, who claimed priority in the inven­ tion, allowing, however, that Fulton, having in Livingstone a friend with a long purse, was thereby enabled to carry the propositions to a successful issue. It is probable, therefore, that when the statue of Fulton is presented in Congress, some speeches may be made against a concession to him of the honor of being the inventor of the steamboat. Other statues expected for Statuary Hall in the near future are that of Garfield from Ohio and two from New Jersey--those of Gen. Phil Kear­ ney and Richard Stockton, one of the signers of the Declaration of Indepen­ dence. Mr. Clark says he has heard it intimated that the Ohio committee charged with the task of supervising the preparation of the Garfield statue intend it shall beof colossal size. This, Mr. Clark, says would be in bad taste, as it would tend to create a rivalry among the various States in getting up colossal statues and mar the general effect of tlie whole collection in the hall. The general comment upon the Ethan Allen statue, which is nine feet high, ie that it is too large and out of propor­ tion with other figures displayed. Mr. Clark has written to Gov. Foster, re­ questing that before the statue of Gar­ field is constructed the committee come to Washington and study the other statues in the hall, so that all may be as nearly as possible of uniform size.--Washington letter. Arizona as an Independent State. At one time, I think it was about the outbreak of the civil war, the handful of Americans who were then in South­ ern Arizona held a meeting and resolved to declare themselves a free aad in­ dependent State. They determined to hold themselves absolutely neutral be­ tween the North and South. They therefore called a meeting and elected a President, Vice President and a Cabi­ net. They elected all the officers that they could think of. They chose a Secretary of the Navy, while there was just about water enough in the whole Territory to float a duck; and they elected (Generals of the army until there was just one man left as private. Every­ thing was conducted on this scale. Out of 300 or 400 Americans in Southern Arizona probably three-fourths were appointed to some office. --Boston Herald. Wagner and Wagner, it is known, was in the habit of dressing in an eccentric fashion, and put on special garments to compose in. This seemed folly to the French novel­ ist, who permitted himself to be irri­ tated by what he deemed an outrageous piece of affectation. When Wagnefr called, one day, he was kept waiting for half an hour in an ante-room. Then the author of the "Trois Mousquetaires" marched in, superbly attired in a plumed helmet, a cork life-bolt, and a flowered dressing-gown. "Excuse me for appearing in my working dress," he said majestically. "Half my ideas are lodged in this helmet, and the other half in a pair of jack boots which I put on to compose love scenes."

Gilfcrr was the only pssnenger, and he started with the determinatiOB of performing the unparalleled feat of crossing the- Pacific Biugle-Suuaded in a common flail­ ing boat. Gilfoy's principal discomfort, he said, Was the too familiar habits of the sharks which every night came thumping the boat with their ugly snouts. To rid himself of them he- made a harpoon out of a boat hook, and succeeded in rendering them so shy that by propping up his shirt at night in the place where he usually sat by the day he was enabled to ts,ke his real comparitavely undisturbed. On the 14th of December, being Mip to the south of the Friendly Isles, a heavy sea broke over the boat and cap­ sized her. He went backward into the water, and it was only by an hour's hard work, with the aid "of a floating anchor," that he was enabled to right the dory. No sooner was she wghtedi than another heavy sea eapsizedner a second time. Again he righted her and passed the night in bailing and the day in making things as ship-shape as possible. By the 10th «f December he had got things under way again, and was enjoying pleasant weather, when the boat was pierced by a swordfish. On Christmas day he found himself near Hunter Island, a barren rock, with all his instruments gone and nothing left of his provisions except twelve pounds of corn meal, two quarts of ai- cohol and fifteen gallons of water. He then tried to make for New Caledonia, but the wind and current were against him, and on the 14th of January he ate the last of his meat. Two days after he lost his rudder and had to rig up a makeshift, and from that time on he had to subsist on whatever fish he caught or birds he shot. On the 20th of January he ate his last cooked meal, a bird singed over a heap of broken matches, and after that sucked the bar­ nacles which balanced the boat. Then the days came in which he knew noth- . ing and cared nothing, steering aim- , lessly here and there. Just as the last hope had fled he sighted the Alfred Vittery, on Jan. 29th, bound for Maryborough. The Vittery saw him and a Jew minutes after Gilfo^5 was saved. He was then but 160 miles off Sandy Cape, and after being fed told the singular story of an extraordinary feat so nearly accomplished.--«S<m Francisco Chronicle. Sly Reynard. ̂ I had occasion once to spend a month at a farm-house in a region of country where foxes were very numerous. They were no small annoyance to the people, for, frequently, Reynard would dash into a farmyard in broad daylight, and snatch a turkey or a chicken from the flock under the very eye of the owner. This made it necessary to look after the fowls with a good deal of care, and in most cases a boy was set to watch the flocks as they went afield. Mine host had a fine brood of turkey! about two-thirds grown, of which he was very proud. One day they were allowed to stroll some distance from the house to a lot of land from which corn was then being removed by the workmen. The flock would follow the cart as it was being loaded, and while «->« ~ ±_ J-l- - T III. gvuv VVJ llUO ¥r each load, they strolled about in search of food. Once, while the fowls were left unguarded, a fox was seen creeping toward them from a neighboring piece of woodland. Swiftly and silent ly he advanced concealing himself be­ tween the rows of stubble, till he sair he could get no nearer without discov­ ery, when, with a tremendous rush, he sprang upon the flock. Sooner than I can tell it, he had bitten one through the neck and dropped it for another and another, until, before the flock could escape, he had killed five of the young fowls. He then deliberately set to work and buried four of the number between the corn rows, and taking the- fifth one in his mouth, he ran away te> his cover. What shall we say regarding such exploit? Reynard's sense of hunger- would promx>t him to seize a turkey, and experience, supporting instinct*- would teach him the necessity of cau­ tion in getting near enough for it, b^it nothing short of an exercise of reason can account for his trying to provide for the future by laying in a stock of provisions while opportunity offered- If he did not reason about the matter, will some one be kind enough to tell ua what he did do?--Rev.

The Son and Vegetable Lttk From an acorn weighing only a few grains a tree will grow, for a hundred years or more, not only throwing oft many pounds of leaves every year, but- itself weighing several tons. If an orange twig is put in a large box of earth, and that earth weighed, when the twig becomes a tree bearing luscious fruit, there will be very nearly the same quantity of earth. From careful experiments made by different scien­ tific men, it is an ascertained fact that a very large part of the growth of a tree is derived from the sun, from the air, and from the water, and a very lit­ tle from the earth; and notably all veg­ etation becomes sickly unless it is freely exposed to the sunshine. Wood and coal are but condensed sunshine, which contains three important ele­ ments, all equally essential to both vegetable and animal life--magnesia is important to any of the tissues. Thus it is the more persons are out of doors the more healthy they are, and the longer they live. Every human beiiig 'ought to have an hour or two of sua- shino at noon in the winter, and in the early forenoon in the summer. Happy Reconciliation. ? t Near Eureka, Nev., lives a ma#* ftftd wife in perfect bliss, who got to quar­ reling a couple of years ago, after living pleasantly together for thirty years, and agreed to divide everything, even to a board parti ion in the bed. This lasted some time, until one morning, when the old man was lying about hall asleep, the old lady peered over the board and ejaculated: "Bless his dea? old heart." The husband, starting up, said: "Do you mean that?" The an­ swer was in the affirmative, and the old fellow roared: "Take away the board." Poon little Emma Smith wedded bifc burly John Brown.
