In many househelis boys’ lives between twelve and seventeen years are generally the calinest of their exis‘ence. Up in the morning just in season for breakfast; noth- ing to do but start off early enough not to be late; looking upon an errand as taking so much time and memory away from erj -yment; little thought of personal appear- ance except when reminded by mother to “spruce up” a little; finding his wardrobe always where mother puts it; in fact, having nothing to do buat enjoy himself. Thus his life goes on until schools ends. At this point he, perhaps, meets with his ‘first great steuggle. Many times during ,our business experience have we witnessed failures caused by the absence of thorough ‘home discipline. How the boy without this great advantage faiis is thus fairly described by the Scientific American : | He goes into an office where everything is system, order, precision. He is expectod to keep things neat and orderly, sometimes kindle fires, or do errands—in short, to be- come a part of a nicely regulated machine, where everything moves in systematic grooves, and each one is responsible for correctness in his department, and where, in place of ministers to his comfort,he finds taskmasters, more or less lenient to be sure, and everything in marked contrast to his previous life. In many instances the change is toogreat. Errors become very numerous; blunders, overlooked at first, get to be a maiter of serious moment; then patience is overtasked, and the boy is told his services are no longer needed. This is the first blow, and sometimes he never rallies from it. Then comes the surprise to the parents, who too often never know the real cause. nor where they have failed in the training of their children. What is wanted, is for every boy to have something special to do; to have some duty at a definite hour, and to learn to watch for that time to come ; to be answer- able for a certain portion of the routine of the household ; to be trained to anticipate the time when he may enter the ranks of business, and to be fortified with habits of energy, accuracy, and application, often of more importance than superficial book- learning.— Academy News. The Buffalo Hoax. The following is the beautiful tribute to Blaine which the Republican editor of the Commercial Advertiser printed without fir t werees the initial letters of the lines down- ward : TO JAMES G, BLAINE, Virtue hath set her crown on th-e Our president that is to be. Truth from a thousand voices cries Ever our champion, honored, wise, Fervent in spirit, just. upright Ordaimed our leader—the true knight, Rich in devotion to our cause Challenging oft uprighteous laws, Lifted above the common herd ; Kvil of tongue and false in word, Vile in their hearts thee harm te work, Envy and slander around them lurk, Let the blasphemous minions jeer, And scoff and rant in language queer, Never can words of vile disgust Destroy a loving people’s trust, Theirs is the infamy and shame. Hate cannot harm thy glorious name. Ever around the people’s choice Shall true mea gather and rejvice, Envy shall hide in humbled paia Love shall enjoy her own again, In the milleniam that is near. No patriot shal! have cause to fear, Established wrongs will win their ear, Safe is the nation where you lead, Armed, to the war on reckless greed, Rally oft to the battle cry Every man to do or die, Boldly we'll follow your command Oaward to victory. Through the land Shouting from Oregon to Maine, Hail to our chieftain, James G. Blaine. R. H, W, —_ ©. on Good Advice to Young Men. The following epigrammatic periods are from President Porter, of Yale; they will repay persual: Young men, you are archi- tects of your own fortune; rely on your own strength of body and soul. Take for your star self-reliance. Inscribe on your banner: ‘Luck isa fool, Pluck is a hero.” Don’t take too much advice; keep at the helm and steer your own ship, and remember that the art of commanding is to take a fair share of the work. Think well of yourself. Strike out. Assume your own position. Put potatoes in a cart, go over a rovgh road and the small ones go to the bottom. Rise above the envious and jealous. Fire above the mark you intend to hit. Energy, invincible determination, with a right motive, are the levers that move the world. Den’t swear. Don’t deceive. Don’t read novels Don’t marry until you can support a wife, Be civil. Read the papers. Advertise your business. Make money and do good with it. Love your God and fellow men. Love truth and virtue. Love your country and obey its laws.

Mr. Alex. Spence, of Montreal, had his son, Wm. P. Spence, aged 17, arrested for robbing his house of $300 worth of jewelry, which he tried to dispose of to the pawn- brokers. General Campenon, French minister of war, is strongly opposed to the proposal to demolish the Paris fortificotions erected under the administration of President Thiers, and to use of their site for building purposes. A mine has been discovered in a cellar at Kronoverski on Prospect street, St. Peters- burg, directed against the ravelin of St. Peter and St. Paul fortress. Four Rus- sians and three foreigners have been arrested asa result of the discovery. The price of raw sugar in London is now £5 to £8 per ton lower than at the begin- ning of the year, and buyers still fear that the bottom has not been reached. The London Grocer predicts that in the coming season moist refined sugar will be retailed at one penny per pound. An English lady who recently visited New Brunswick, has ordered one of the Charter Oak ranges, a stove made by the Messrs. Cogswell, at Sackville. She says she considers it superior to any cooking stove she can get in the old country. Good for New Brunswick industry. The prize of forty thousand franes offered the French Academy for some certain test of death, to prevent people from being buried alive, was given to a physician who announced that on holding the hand of the supposed dead person to a strong light, if living a scarlet tinge is seen where the fingers touch, showing a continuous circu- lation of the blood, no scarlet being seen if dead. Dr. Max Buch also announces that on contracting a muscle by electricity, its temperature will rise, and be shown by any small surface thermometer, if the person is living ; if it does not rise life is extinct, ‘‘Dr. Collis Brown, the so-called inventor of chlorodyne, has just died,” says the London correspondent of The Medical Record. ‘‘Chiorodyne is perhaps the only patent medicine and secret remedy which has been largely employed by medical men. The makers contended that it con- tained a certain alkaloid which gave it valuable properties. They declared that this could not. be discovered by analysis. This proved to be so far correct that many people were inclined to regard the ‘alkaloic’ as amyth. Several lawsuits have been waged over chlurodyne. The final result was to leave the original inventor, Dr. Browne, in undisturbed possession of his rights. He derived a large income from the sale of his preparation.’ The dimensions of the New Allan liner are thus given by the Quebec Chronicle: ‘The Siberian, which is built of mild steel, is a yessel of 4,000 tons gross, and will carry about 4,000 tons of cargo dead weight on a light draught of water. She has been especially designed for the Atlantic trade, and as regards construction is altogether much in excess of Lloyds’ requirements in all her scantlings. Every attention has been given to the idea of making her special features those of the first class cattle- carrying steamer. She is also constructed that she will, on the outward voyage, be able to carry about 1,000 emigrants. Tho builders have also paid special attention to the arrangement for getting cargo loaded and discharged with alacrity.”’ Ottawa is taking on considerable import- ance as a mercantilecity. The population is now 30,791, an increase of 3,146 during the past year, and since 1874 it has grown from 23,228, or by more than 7,500, while in the same period the assessed value of property has risen $1,200,000, and now reaches $11,545,730. The Free Press points out with not unnatural pride that the growth ef the capital has been more rapid than that of any other city in Ontario, and adds :—‘‘ Toronto’s population, according to the assessment for the year just closing, was 99,131; her present population is 104,276, an increase of 5,145. Ovttawa’s last assessment showed a population of 27,645, and ber new assessment a popula- tion of 30,191, showing an increase of 3,146. Though the percentage of increase during the past year for Toronto is 5.19, ' yet that for Ottawa is 11.34, or more than double that of the queen city.” Including the suburbs, our contemporary figures up a total population of 47,000 within and adja- cent to Ottawa. Hitherto the imports from Britain by Victoria (B. C.) merchants have been shipped in sailing veseels via Cape Horn, a voyage which consumes from 130 to 176 days. A movement is now on foot, we are informed by the Victoria Times, which will enable goods to reach their destination in a few weeks, instead of many wonths as formerly. The merckants will in future receive them “direct from London and Liverpool by steamship to Montreal and thence by rail over the Grand Trunk and Northern Pacitic to Victoria.” ‘Of course,” remarks the Times, ‘‘the Northern Pacific will temporarily reap benefits from this new idea, but it will only be for a short{period—at the furthermost not more than twelve or fourteen months, By that time the great Canadian Pacific transconti- nental route will be thrown open, giving a more direct and quicker line, whereby freight will be handled but once from the time it is landed at the ae a after haying travels than 000 nuffer. °
