What to Teach Our Boys. In answer to the question, “ What shall we teach our boys ?” propounded in the Cincin nati Times , Gale Forrest replies as follows : Teach them to respect their elders and themselves. Teach them that, as they ex pect to' be men some day, they cannot too soon learn to protect the w r eak and helpless. Teach them to saw wood, split it, bring it in, carry water, empty slops, make the fires, tend the baby, and make themselves generalh useful around the house. Teach them how to run a sewing machine, and to properly use a needle and thread. Teach them, by your own example, that smoking in moderation, though the least of vices to which men are heirs, is disgusting to others and hurtful to themselves. Teach them that to wear patched clothes is no disgrace, but to wear a black eye is. Teach them that dime novels and similar reading are an invention ot Satan. Teach them that “playing cards” may lead to gambling-. o r> Teach them that swearing is an unneces sary evil. Teach them that strong drink indulged in means disgrace. Teach them a true lady may be found in calico quite as frequently as in velvet. Teach them that a common school educa tion, with common sense, is better than a col lege education without it. Teach them that one good, honest trade, well mastered, is worth a dozen beggarly pro fessions. Teach them that “honesty is the best poli cy”—that ’tis better to be poor than rich on the profits of crooked whisky, etc., and point your precept by examples of those who are now suffering the torments of the doomed. Teach them that the more they save before, the more comfortable they can live after mar riage. Teach them that every two-legged animal that walks the streets is not a man, even though he wears the emblems. Teach them that to be a man, “ with all that name implies,” is now-a-days a phenom enon. Teach them that by indulging their deprav ed appetites in the worst forms of dissipation, they are not fitting themselves to become the husbands of pure girls. Teach them that it is better to be an hon est man seven days in the week than to be a Christian (?) one day and a villain six days. Teach them that “God helps those who help themselves.” Do all this, and you will have brought them up “ in the way they should go.” Giggling Girls. A lady writer gives the following well merit ed remarks on what she terms giggling girls : “The Te-hes.—Perhaps you don’t know them by that name. Well, then, suggest a better. They are the salt of our society, in one sense ; girls of good minds—minds that will be good if they survive the giggling age ; girls of good families, well dressed, polite and fine-looking, but possessed of the insane idea that they must laugh upon all occasions, whether there is anything to warrant it or not —else they are not jolly, gay girls and lively company. A bevy of them came into the public library the other day. One had just had an adventure, which was to be recited. She dropped into a chair, bent over and held her sides, and they all chorused in. They hadn’t heard it yet; but of course it would be awful funny when it was told. She was coming up K street when she stepped on a rotten plank—te he ! he ! chorus te he ! and down she went. Oh, dear !—te he ! he !—and her foot got tangled—full chorus, te he ! he ! he!—and a man came along with a horrid check-shirt on—he ! he ! he ! big checks ; perfectly horrid !—he! and helped her up— he ! he ! he ! Then a waving of the bodies back and forth, and a grand te he, ad libitum, all together. They were splendid girls !—I speak sincerely. But what an exhibition ! I saw an old gray-beard take a book he didn’t want and hurry away. Then another girl took it up, and said her book was so comical she just howled over it—he ! he ! They must all read it—they would laugh so. As if that was the chief end and aim of a girl’s exist ence. When a man is amused he laughs with a gusto, and then straightens his face till the next time. And it has some meaning. But the perpetual grin or giggle is detestable.— At a lecture recently I saw six young ladies seemingly convulsed with laughter for five minutes or more at the accidental dropping of a paper of candies over the floor. I think I can go into a social parlor and select the groups of married ladies from those of the girls— n ot by their faces nor by their dresses, but by the amount of giggling done. Matri mony subdues the snickerer. Fastest Time on Record. —McGraths’ horse, Aristides, is making a reputation rap idly. lie is a four-year old. Last Wednes day, in a hotly contested race, he ran two and one-eighth miles in 3 :45L the shortest .time on record. Last Saturday there was another dash on the same course of two and half miles in 4 :27A, the fastest on record, by a second. In this last race, A. K. Richard’s Bazar, a three-year old, made the running the whole way, and made Aristides stretch himself. “I Made Him What He Was." A few weeks ago a saloon keeper in Dover, Delaware, who patronized his own bar very liberally, stepped into a back room where men were at work about a pump in a well.— The covering had been removed and he ap proached to look down, but being very drunk he pitched in head foremost. He had become so much of a bloat by the use of strong drink that it was impossible to extricate him in time to save his life. There was great excitement in the town. Men and women who had never been inside of his saloon before, were the first to the res cue, and to offer sympathy to the bereaved family. As he was being dragged from the well, stretched out dead upon the saloon floor, a wholesale liquor dealer from Philadelphia stepped in. After the first shock at thus find ing one of his good customers dead, he turn ed to a prominent lady, a crusader, and said, pointing to the wrecked victim, “ I made that man what he was. I lent him his first dollar and set him up with his first stock of liquors, and he's now worth SIO,OOO or $15,000.” Looking him full in the face, she respond ed : “You made that man what he was—a drunkard, a bloat, a stench in the nostrils of society, and sent him headlong into eternity and into a drunkard's hell? What is $15,- 000 weighed against a lost soul, a wasted life, a wife, widow, and children orphans?” He turned deadly pale, and without a word left the house. And we ask, “ what is all the business and the revenue, to the millions whose homes are despoiled, whose children are beggared, and whose loved ones are sent headlong to a drunkard’s hell ? Put yourself in the place of that mother, whose son is pursued day and night by the demon till the hairs of his head becomes serpents and live coals burn into his flesh to the very hone, and fighting devils he leaps out into eternity, and then ask, are my hands clean ? Do I love my nighbor as my self? Am I doing all I can to stay the tide that is bearing so many down and may } r et bear me down ? The Harrison Freshet. We refer to this matter again because we have information which unquestion ably set tles the fact that the “ Harrison freshet” oc curred between the 15th and 20th of March, 1840. Mr. J. M. Boardman, of this city, who is rarely ever at fault upon matters of this kind, recollects it distinctly, and his memory is sustained by that of Captain A. G. Butts, who is equally correct in such matters. Mr. Boardman says just as soon after the flood of 1840 as the roads been me passable, he made a trip to Augusta, and thence to Savannah. A considerable portion of the road between the two last named cities was still under wa ter when he passed over it. A week after he arrived in Savannah, the Macon Volunteers arrived to go into a grand encampment, which was held in that city in 1840. Captain Butts accompanied the command. Mr. Boardman calls our attention to anoth er fact, which decides the matter beyond a question, and that is that Gen. Harrison died on the 4th of April, 1841, whereas the freshet of that year did not occur until two months later—or in the early part of June. The Messenger, which was the onty paper published in Macon at that time, in its issue of the 19th of March, 1840, states that it had been raining four days, and the river had risen twenty feet. Subsequent issues of the paper makes no further mention of the flood. The freshet of 1841 is not mentioned at all in the paper. Local matters do not appear to have occupied any considerable portion of journalistic attention in those days. The Journal, which was published at Mil ledgeville at the same time, states that the freshet of 1840 was two feet higher than that of 1841. —Macon Telegraph <s• Messenger. Something not Commonly Known. “ The origin of the term “6 penny,” “10 penny,” etc., as applied to nails, though not commonty known, is involved in no myster}' whatever. Nails have been made a certain number of pounds to the 1,000 for many years, and arc still reckoned in that way in England, a lOd. being 1,000 nails to 10 pounds, and 6d. being 1.000 to G pounds, a 20d. weigh ing 20 pounds to the 1,000, and having just one-half the number of nails to the 10 pounds of the 10d., and in ordering the buyer calls for the 3 pound, 6 pound, or 10 pound variety, etc., until by the Englishman's abbreviation of pun for pound, the abbreviation has been made to stand for penny instead of pound, as originally intended ; and when it conies to less than one pound to the 1,000, such as tacks, brads, etc., they are reckoned 6 ounces, 8 ounces, 12 ounces, etc., and the manufac turer who would make less than 1,000 nails to 10 pounds for a lOd. nail would be looked upon as a cheat, as in former times the differ ence in the cost of the manufacture of one pound of small nails over the larger size was much greater than now. As nails are now made and sold, the dealer only asks for the size needed b} r the U9nal designation, and the fact that there are now bnt about two-thirds of the number of nails formerly called for in the pound does not lessen the value. Morning is welcome to the industrioasand sleep falls sweetly upon the virtuous. Fish Ponds. It is computed by reliable authorities, we believe, that one acre of water, as a fish pond, will raise more meat (fish) than ten acres of land at the same expense, taking the average quality in the Southern States, planting the land in corn to feed hogs. Even if this should only be partially true, it is rather remarkable that there are only a few ponds in the South, when there could and should be as many in nearly every neighborhood. The best locations for ponds, are in the branch channels just below active never ceas ing springs, where the fall is sufficient, by a slight digging out, to afford water, after run ning a dam at the proper point, to within a few inches of the height of the stream, of a depth not less than five feet in the channel. The larger the area of water the better, but a pond twenty or thirty feet wide, by two hun dred long, is quite a nice family pond. After this is all completed, filled with water and ditched around, so as to keep out surplus wa ter from the hard rains, you may go to sein ing, in April, for trout, pereh and bream, to stock the pond, and they will commence re plenishing from June. Fish may be success- transferred from their native streams to the ponds in large tin buckets, filled with creek water; but no time must be lost in the transfer, nor the fish taken out of the running water before starting—they may be kept in a tow sack in the water. Never pour cold wa ter on them while en route, but water of the same temperature may be used. The outlet from the pond is best to be cut around the dam, if possible; otherwise, a board trough, or race must be so fitted in as to prevent wa ter crevices in the dam. Big Words. Big words pass for'Sensc with some people, and sometimes may be very successfully em ployed when nothing else will answer. As when a man in great alarm ran to his minis ter to tell him he could see spots on the sun, and he thought the world was coming to an end. “ Oh. don't be afraid,” said the good min ister, “it’s nothing but a phantasmagora.” “Is that all ?” said the frightened man, and he went away quite relieved. Avery smart lawyer in Wilmington, N. C., had the misfortune to lose a suit for a client who had every reason to expect success. The client, a plain old farmer, was astound ed by the long bill of costs, and hastening to the lawj'cr’s office, said : “ I thought 3'ou told me we should certainly gain the suit ?” “Sol did,” answered the lawyer; “but you sec when I brought it up before the judges, they said it was quorum non judice .” “ Well, if they said it was as bad as that,” replied the old farmer, “I don't wonder we lost it;” and he paid the costs and a big fee besides without another murmur. ksPDuring a debate in the United States House of Representatives on the bill to re strict the disposal of government lands in the Southern States, Mr. Ilewitt, of Alabama, made a speech, in the course of which he drew the following comparison, which we commend to a careful reading : “If we should take the State of Georgia instead of Indiana, and compare it with the State of Pennsylvania, we would have a bet ter illustration of our proposition. The State of Georgia has five millions of acres in culti vation in excess of Pennsylvania. The value of the farms of Pennsylvania is over nine hundred and forty-seven millions in excess of those of Georgia. The State of Georgia has engaged in agricultural pursuits over 76,000 persons more than Pennsylvania, while the value of the annual products of agriculture of Pennsylvania is over one hundred and three millions in excess of those of Georgia. The reason wh}’ the Pennsylvania farmer succeeds so much better than the Georgia farmer is found in the fact that Georgia has but 3,836 manufacturing establishments, while Pennsylvania has over 37,000; that Georgia has employed in these establishments only 17,000 persons, while Pennsylvania has over 300,000. Georgia produces from her manu factories annually only about $31,000,000, while Pennsylvania derives over $700,000;- 000. The Georgia farmer, like the Indiana, seeks a foreign market, while Pennsylvania furnishes a home market for her farmer.” New York Herakl has a few sensi ble words to say upon the subject of short sermons which will apply to many other cities. Dr. Morgan Dix. of Trinity Church, New York, is quoted as an example worthy of imi tation. His sermons arc models of brevity, force and effectiveness. Many clergymen de stroy the entire effect of a good discourse by spinning it out beyond the patience of their audience. Twenty, or at the most thirty, minutes is long enough for any sermon ; and yet there have been drones so fond of hear ing themselves talk that, once wound up, they could go on forever. “The most successful pulpit orators,” sa3's the Herald, “ are those who comprehend how the methods of religious teaching have been modified by the influence of the press.” A good article as well as a good sermon should be short, concise and to the point, and no clergyman who desires to impress his hearers should forget that all-im dortant maxim.
