MODER* HOY HO OD. Are thefe any boys nOw-a-dHys? We linvfe sometimes been inclined to doubt it. Real, child-like, fun-loving boys, we mean } such as some wo used to know in our early days;—boys who»o vcfry immaturity of thought struck one fts beautiful; . It seeing to us there are very few such of lato years. In times that we can re member, cfiil dreii were children, and were true to their childish instincts. Their giiiial Trolicksome ways soften ed slowly into soberness; ihdy grew grave gradually;. .. j.;, The shadows of manhood stole over their young faces so an perceptibly that the spiritual still seemed to predominate over the earthly; There is not half so much fly in* of kites, r ntdliig of hoops and |la ing at. nparblesi, as there used to be, in my boyish days. Playing prison base irt. Ji dj and seek! are fast falling into disrepute. Instead of wh >o, ing. hallowing, and v. t' us .' shouts of merry laughter, which v c c wont 10 conjure up delicious rev s cries in aged bosoms, we now have an iinchildlhie thoughttnlness# or what is fc-till chattering pertinacity. It is sorrowful to think that the ac ee Ice rated progression of everything around us should have attached itsc ' even to Httlo children. The distance from longtoshortclothes, from jacket and pantalloons !o cgat and vest, has been so narrowid down that, while you still have a distinct rcinenr bpranec of the teething coral with its silver l)ells, the child for whose use ♦hey had been purchased, nudges your arm and quietly suggests the propriety ot hi 3 w'earing iu future, a long-skirted coat with if velvet collar. Now if we »re not exactly in a similar condition of topseyturvy, wc arc at least, approx imating to it. Our boys, in spit* of their shrill treble —lor nature is less disposed to hasten the evidences of maturity than republi. can fathers and mothers; arc beginning to assert a sort of equality with grown persons, that is atjall times annoying) and not unft-jqucntly iinpei tinent. Manners thev have noilc; but of as • * sura nee a superabundance. And then, to see with what an air they will as sume a part in a discussion, as if their mental superiority rendered their re marks entitled to peculiar deference. k' vow refrain from » coin-tons reporrsc the little fellow takes it in higlr dud geon', aud considers himself insulted. It is very probable he will '• cut" you the next time you meet in the street or on the lawn. But the boys of a lower grade in so cicty are infinitely worse. They have all the appearance ol iir- t mature men, and are fond of imitating and even of exagorating man's worst vices: , They stnod at the street corners or pervado the public avenues, in gangs, • with their hats cocked knowingly on ( one side, making bold and impudent 1 j. remurks upon passcrs-by, and, not uif. i frequently, puffing whiffs of vilo tobac. 00-smoke into their faces. J Boys scarcely higher than the back of n chair makek their great ambition to C chew and swear to a degree, that their constitutions aro perfectly shattered betore they reach the age of maturity; while their swaggering and brivoado. thoir bullying and fighting, i* far inoro likely to lead them eventually to a house ' of refuge, than the house of prayer. 1 Any oue who has lived long in tho 1 «onntrv, or visited the largo cities»r 1 even our little country town*, must j have seen this forcing process,going j on, and many have, doubt leers, wished to i fee the application of a remedy. 1 That boys and girts of all social grades become iinmiitureiy mature i i beyond all question, but we fear tin evil lies in the nature of our institutions aud in the rush and whirlo about us | quite as much as it does in the relaxed system of paternal discipline. We regret this, progressive tenden cy, ospocially in children) and since it B impossible to chock it OUT duty is to gu'do it in the right direction as mn«h as possible. If tho old endoaring graces of the infantile state aro to iooso some of thoir •'tractlore; If bet w. en boyhw l and I manhood is to bo but one brief step, it' becomes us to set a good example to tlioso who mimic our ways soearly, aud to exhibit iu our own-persons MI abhor •r.co of th*se eviis-whicli we wish our children to shun.

Becoming alarmed at the long continuance of tliti spell, Mr. B. camo to Burlington t«> con sult with a doctor, who, after treating him awhile, declared that he could give relief. From this fiity he proceeded to Chicago^"nd consulted the best medi cal authorities there, who did all in their power for him, but could not relieve him. By their advice he went Caliior liia, accompanied by his sister, thinking tlr.it the change of climate would help him, fcmaiiiing in that State to the time of his death, hiccoughing almost contin ually, and having but few interva.s ol rest. The continued strain and distress wore him to a mere shadow ot his i'onrtcr selt, and last week his sis'ter telegraph ed to friends and relatives in tliis and Louisa counties that he was dead and she was bringing his remains on for burial. •Dr. L.
