Academy.

The farmers are not up with
There are a greai many boys in their work on account of rain.
this big world, and no two are . of
the same disposition.
If boys do not try very hard to
be good and to do what is right,
they are almost sure to be bad.
By the time a boy is twelve or
thirteen years old, you can tell
pretty well what kind of a man he
will make.
If he minds his parents; is good
and thoghtful of his sisters, re
spects old people, is kind to chil
dren younger than himself, in
fact, if he thinks of other people
' before he does himself, ’twill be
said of him: . ,
“That boy is a perfect gentle
man ; he will be the right kind of
man.” . ■ . . .
A good boy is a blessing at
home, in school^ and every where
he goes ;for he does good by setting
a good example.
But oh, my me! a real bad boy
is dreaded by every body, and can
do more harm than a dozen more
keys; when a crowd of such boys
get together it is hard to imagine
what will happen.
Some boys have an idea that
’tis very grand and manly to
smoke cigaretts, and drink liquor,
but that is a great mistake,
All sensible people have very
poor opinions of sush boys, and if
they grow to be. more sensible they
are apt to feel very, sorry for hav
ing formed such bad habits. For
’tis very hard to leave off the ha
bits of smoaking and drinking, so
I have heard grown people say.
Boys should be very ^careful
what kind of company they keep;
for bad company has ruined many
a boy who would have grown to be
a good man, had he kept better
company.
I am thankful to say I don
know a great many bad boys.
I hope the boys of our school
and neighborhood will grow up to
be good and useful mon. *
I think they will if they follow
the example and teachings of our
kind teacher.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch
makes this argument in favor of
one term for presidents: “No
president who is ambitious for
second term can carry out his
own ideas of right and justice.He
must bend to the will of a be
nighted or selfish or corrupt con
gress, and he must constantly
stand in fear of popular opinion
however mistaken it may be. Only
51 one-term president with a Jack
sonian backbone can be depended
upon to do his best.”

A VALUABLES MEDICINE.
For Coughs and Colds In Children.
“I have not the slightest hesi-
tency in recommending QJiamber-
lain’s Cough Remedy to all who
are suffering from coughs or
colds,” says Chas. M. Cramer,
Esq., a well known watch maker,
of Colombo, Ceylon. “It has
been some two years since the
City Dispensary first called my at
tention to this valuable medicine
and I have repeatedly used^ it and
it has always been beneficial. It
has cured me quickly of all chest
colds. It is especially effective
for children and seldom takes
more than one bottle to cure them
of hoarseness. I have persuaded
many to try this valuable medi
cine, and they are all as ' well
pleased as myself over the re
sults.” For sale by all dealers
in Perry, Warren & LoweRyron.

The Man With Friends.
Oglethorpe Echo.
The man without friends can
accomplish very little in this;
world.
Depending on his own strength
alone his mightiest endeavors are
as nothing. At harvest time he
gathers nothing but leaves.
But the man with friends—
strong friends, true friends and
loyal friends—who have confi
dence in his integrity and ability,
to “do” things has great power.
When he leads they will follow
him and all working together,
unitedly bring victory.
This is the reason why some
men achieve great success who are
men of apparently moderate
ability, while their more brilliant
competitors never accomplish
their desires. In the world’s his
tory there have been a few men of
extraordinary ability who-accom
plished great things absolutely
alone, and they all could probably
be counted on one’s fingers and
toes.
This is true in every business
and profession as well "as in poli
tics. The man who makes his
employees and co-workers his
friends gets the best results. It
does not matter so much whether
a man has enemies or not, as that
he has true friends who will stand
by him and never desert him. In
politics it is rarely that the man
,who is “one of the boys,” as the
popular phrase expresses it, ever
loses in the contest. The out
side moralist and “man of merit”
whose worth may be known
stands little chance against “one
of the boys,” for he never learns,
and, as Kipling says, “never can
learn,” how to manipulate men
in the game pf politics.
To have loyal friends who will
stand by you in adversity as well
as in prosperity is worth all else.
One man can accomplish very
little by himself. To have
friends who can be depeaded on is
to gain success in life.
Publip control of railroads is
imperative,else these creatures of
the state would become greater
than the state itself.- But their
lines are too long and too widely
spread to be wholly under the con
trol of any individual common
wealth. What follows logically,
then, is that they must be con
trolled either by concurrent ac
tion on the part of several states
l^irough which their lines run, or
by the general government, act
ing for the entire community.
Present indications point to the
latter as the more feasible of the
two methods.—Philadelphia Ledg
er.

A society for the prevention of
cruelty to vegetation is the lat
est. That’s right. As a contem-
poary says, just think of digging
the eyes out of a potato, pulling
the ears off the corn, eating the
heads of cabbage, threshing
wheat, spilling the blood of beets
breaking the neck of a squash,
squeezing a lemou and such other
outrages.—Dawson News.
