In word and deed, the*father shonld be ell that be hopes his boy to be. The re sponsibility for the formation of the boy’s character can not be avoided, and there should be no desire to avoid it. To the little boy papa speaks only truth and wisdom; papa’s no tions are just what they* shonld be, and lie is in every respect the per sonification of perfect manhood. All that papa says and does is right, simply bteanse papa, in the opinion of the little fellow,: can’t say or do anything wrong. The opinion held-by tbe boy is sublimely pore, and faith un bounded. Fathers should ponder long and well their, conduct, else the faith and purity of their boys will be destroyed. By example let papa hold tbe confidence of his son, and teach him * continually that his faith is not misplaced. But alas, how many of os would groan in anguish if conyiuced that our boys wonld know all we say and do, and that through that knowledge their characters would be constructed in like fashion The fatherjneed not be hideous in depravity, or extremely wicked, ’ere the son may by the force of example begin to wander from the path of truth and rectitude. f There is no need to particular ize here. The little boy studies papa closely, and as does papa, so will the son act. If the father is strictly moral in all things, so the son is apt to be. As a matter of course, the pow er of discriminating between right and wrong increases as years come to the boy, and if not worthy, the father will lose the confidence and love of the son, unless it be thut by example the mind of the boy has been so warped as to render it ex tremely difficult for subsequent lessons to eradierte the moral poi son that has been absorbed by the young mind. If the father’s life illustrates honesty, integrity, energy, oharity, lore of good and a fear of evil, the example will be of exceeding great foece with the son, and these virtues will be early recognized as the foundation upon which a prop er character moat be erectSd. It is a recognized fact that mother’s love is the strongest in centive to good that ever influenced mankind, but it is also true that by example fathers have destroyed their Bons,and completely neutral ized the mother's good influence. Every young mind must be ex pended by older, stronger minds; every boy mnst^bave an ideal; there will never be a man like whom the boy hopes to be. Let father accept the responsibility folly; and fortbe sake of-humani- ity, never say or do anything unfit for the son to hear or know of. Of eonrae, man can not attain perfection, but be can come near enough to it to eliminate all fear that the precious sou will go to ruin through the force of papa’s example.

He suggested that they might find, for instance, tbe study of chemistry beneficial—the chem istry of the.kitchen. The suggestion is ad excellent one, bat unfortunately, it is one that is not popular. Most girls don't want to go near ihe kitchen and their mothers don’t insist up on their going there. And yet, girls who expect to have charge of homes of their own onght to know all about a kitchen and ev erything that is done there. They may never have to cook or to do anything else that is done in a kitchen, but those who know how to cook and to do all other lands of household work will have neater and happier homes, ns n rale, than those who are totally ignorant of these things, and who will b» whol ly dependent upon servants. And some of those who now pride them selves upon knowing nothing of cooking or sewing or anything else that is done in a well-regulated household, may have all those things to do. If they are prepared to do them, how much lighter their task will be, and much.more will ingly will they bear their burdens.. In a London letter, published a few days ngo, and written by one well acquainted with the home life of tbe Princess of Wales, it was stated that all of the daughters of the princess were taught to cook and sew, and to do whatever else is expected of a capable housewife. A portion of their education was received in the kitchen, where they were required to spend an hoar each day until they gained a fair knowledge of cooking. A wise mother is the Princess of Walea In the North American Review for December there are four or five articles by well-know women, in wbieh is discussed this question: Shall oar daughters have dow ries?" The conclusion reached in about all ofjthem is that the best dowry that a wife can bring to her husband is a thorongb knowledge of household duties and a willing ness to perform them should there bea necessity for her to do so. The majority of eligible young men have small incomes. If young man marries a girl who can lighten his burden by makiug their home a comfortable one at a com paratively small expense, he is much more likely to get ahead in the world than if he marries one who is ignorant of household du ties and thinks that she would lose the respect of hen: friends if she should soil her hands with pots and kettles, or harden them in handling a broom. The girls who are tanght that life is not a mere butterfly existence, bat that it has duties, and who are trained to per form these duties, are the ones who make tbe best wives and the hap piest homes. The prevailing opinion is that Cleveland will be tliede mocratic nominee for president in 1892, and that Blaine will be the nominee of tbe republicans. Qov. Hill, of New York, has a considerable fol lowing in the democratic party, but not enough to jusjify him in think ing that he has a chance for tbe nomination, and in the republican party Alger and Harrison and Gen. Miles are now and then spoken of by admiring friends'. Cleveland and Blaine, however, are the two men toward whom the whole country is looking. Cleve land is regarded as the head and front of the movement: to reform the tariff, aud, besides, the people have confidence in him. The rec ord he made as president meets the hearty approval of the masses without regard to party. And Blaine is the only republican lead er who, after the disastrous defeat of the republicans in November,re tained the confidence of the rank and file of his party. The Chicago Times recently took the trouble to inquire of the lead ing democratic and republican newspapers of each state as to their choice for president, and the result is quite interesting. The number of newspapers that answered was 221. Of tnis number 106 express ed a preference for Cleveland, 12 lor Hill, 52 for Blaine, and 18 for Harrison. These newspapers doubtless represent pretty fairly the sentiments of the localities in which they nre published. Prom the figures of the’Times it is apparent that Cleveland is the favorite of the democrats by a long way, and that Blaine is the favorite of the republicans. And that they will continue to be the favorites there is every reason to believe. Blaine, 'it is thought, [|conld hav had the nomination of his party in 1888, but he declined it for two reasons, viz., he did not believe lie could be elected, and his health was so bad he was afraid to enter upon an exciting presidential cum paigu. He is in good health now, and stands well with his party. It is thought that he would be glad of a chance to try his luck again. Cleveland has lost none of his popularity since he retired from the presidency. Indeed, it is not too much to say that he is more popular now than at any other pe riod in his remarkable public ca reer. The passage of the McKin ley bill has shown the country some of the evil effectsjof the re publican doctrine of protection, and there is now a stronger senti ment than ever in’favor of a re form tariff. The peqple know that the champion of that sort of tariff is Cleveland. They have almost made up their minds that the cam paign of 1892 will be the campaign of 1884 over again.

It is reported that a colony of about twenty-five northern farmers have purchased 3,000 acres of land in Cullananjcounty, Ala., and will begin co-operatixe farming. There is to be a joint stock company with a capital of S200,000, limited- to 200 shares, and no person can hnve more than one share. The farm work is to be performed by the shareholders themselves and their families, and the profits are to be distributed as dividends. They expect to introduce manufacturing as soon as practicable, as they have a forest of valuable timber;'and an inexhaustible supply of coal.

Bull’s is the best State Agricultural Prosperity. * j Colonial Punishments for Drunken- Atlanta Conslitution. It is pleasing to know that the agricultural iuterests of Georgia, despite the fact of general com plaints of a scarcity of farm labor and a consequent lull in the fjplds on that account, are generally in a prosperous couditiou. The farm ers have done much in the cotton line, for instance, during the'year which is fast drawing to a close; but notwithstanding the fact that much of this.'importaul staple still remains in the fields, they have had happy harvesting of every thing else. This is notably the case iu every county iu Georgia where general farming interests are conducted, and possibly the statement which is made for Troup county will hold good for all. The LaGrnnge Graphic says that the farmers in that section give promise of good aud flush times, and that at no time since the war have they been able to hold such a large/percen tage of their crops for such prices as they may demand, and thnt the merchants declare that they have made better collections than at any time for the same season since the war. Well, here’s a merry Christmas to the farmers of Georgia, and there is no doubt that they will en joy it From every county comes ringing notes of cheer, and the cheer of the farmer is the joy of all. Let all the counties fall into line and shake hands on the result of the year. And more than this. Let every citizen iu every county rejoice in the agricultural prosper ity of his town aud section, and take heart for the future from the prestige of the past. And there is not a newspaper in the United States that has not a word of Christmas greeting for its subscribers—a! Cnristmas chime which is ringyig the rounds and spreading -welcome wherever it goes. You hear it in Georgia, where every editor is returning thanks for blessings received and expect ed. Therefore, tho editors will not bejoverlooked. They help to - make the prosperity of the state and it is due to their untiring ef forts that Georgia gets such excel lent and . wide advertisement abroad. So here’s a good health to the editors, also. Tho Topnlar Soienco Monthly. Dr. Hammond gives a couple of instances of a coloninial punish ment of drunkenness. Here are others. 1633. Massachusetts: Rob ert Coles fined <£10 for “abasing himself shamefully with drink,” and enjoined to stand with “A Drunkard” in great letter3 on a white sheet on his back, “soe longe as the Court thinks m&ete.” [The penalty for repetition next year—disfranchisement, etc. —re ferred to by Dr. Hammond, were remitted, May, 1634, on submis sion aud testimony of good beha vior.] T. Hawkins anti J. Vaughn fined 10s. for a similar offense, und selling “strong water, contrary to op order of Court.” Iu 1643 and 1650 the colony made the harbor ing of drunkards penal. But there is not the slightest evidence that the proceedings jria these cases were for snmptnary reusons. -1639. Wm. C was fined 10s. for “misdemeanor in drinking, and corporal punishment remitted up on his promise to avoid such occa sions.” The same year - , it New Haven, John Jenuer, “accused of being drunk, was acquitted, it ap pearing to be of infirmity, and oc casioned by-the extremity of the cold. “Mr. Molenoar, accused, but not clearly proved, was respi ted.” It could hardly have been the object in these cases to prevent the expenditure for the liquor, or to dictate “what .the persons concern ed should or sboald'auot drink! Nor when ThomasJFranklin was panished “for drinking strong liq uors to excess and entertaining disorderly persons into his cellar to drinking meetings.” A Rejtabkable Preservative .
