If I Were a Boy Again.
BY JAMES T FIELDS
Let me tell you, uiy dear lads, (mine of
i the things I would do if I were a boy
| tigtin —some of the too often neglected
! acts I would strive to accomplish if it
were io my power to begin all over anew
This paper was written expressly for
\ you young fellows who ire beginning to
think for yourselves, and are avsrso to
hearing what an old boy. who loyes you f
has to say to his younger fellow students.
I think I would learn lo use my left
hand just as frooly as my right one, so
{ that if anything happened to lame
I either of them, the other would be all
ready to writb and "handle things," just
'as if nothing had occurred. There is
tio reason in the world why both hands
suould not be educated alike. A little
" practice would soon render one set of
fingers just as expert as the other; and 1
have known people who never thought,
when a thing was to be done, what par
ticular band ought to do it, but the
hand nearest the object took hold-of it
and the office required,
i I would accustom myself to go abou t
in the dark, and not be obliged to have
a lamp or candle on svery occasion
Too many of us aro slaves '.o the day
light, and decline to move forward an
j inch unless everything it visible. One
of the most cheerful persons I ever knew
was a blind man, who had lost his sight
by an accident at sea, during early man-
I hood. He weut everywhere and ooultl
i find things wore lastly than I could
Whon hi* wife wanted a spool of coMob
, or a pair of scissors from up stair*, the
gallsnt gentleman went weihout saying a
'ward and brought it. He never asked
any one to reach him this or that object,
but seemed lo have the instiuct of know
ing jusfwhere it was and bow to get at
• it.
Surprised at his power of finding
things, I asked him one day for an
explanation; and he told me that when
he waa a boy on board a vessel, it occur
red that he might some time or other
be deprive! of sight, and ha resolved
to begin early in life to rely mora on a
seme of feeling than be had ever done
before And so he used to wander, by
way ol praotice, all over the ship io the
blaok midnight, fping down below and
climbing around anywhere and every
where, that be might, in case of blind
nesa, not become wholly halplesa and of
oo account in the world In this way
DANjJCJIIV, N. C., THURSDAY, AUGUST 25, 1881.

B'gU(les3 o;au
f wnuld learn the art of using tools
of various sorts. I think I woul I insist
on learning some trade even il I knew
there would bo no occasion to follow it

in after life to be obit to niake some
thing, an the fraying i*!—to construct a

What a loss not to know how to mend a
chair that refuses to stand up strongi
only because it needt a few tacks and a
bit of leather here and there! Some
ol us cannot even drive a nail straight;
and should we attempt (o saw iff uu
obtrusive piece of wood, ten to one we
would lose a Griger iu the operation .
It is a pleasant relaxation from books
and study to work an hour every day
in a tcol shop; my Iricnd, the bsrtied
and lovable Piof Oliver Wendell
Holmes, finds such a comfort in men
ding things, when his active bruiu needs
repose, that he sometimes breaks a piece
of furniture on purpose, that ho may
have the relief of putting it together
agiio much better than it was before.
Ha is as good a mechanic as he is a
poet; but there is nothing mechanical
about his poetry, as you all kuow who
have read his delightful pieces. An
English author of great repi:to said 10
uie not long ago, "Professor Holmes
is writing the best English of our time."
And I could oot help adding, "Yes, and
inventing the best stereoscopes, too"
I think I would ask permission, if I
happened to be b>m in a city, to have
the opportunity of passing all my vaca
tions iu the country, that I might learn
the uam r s of trees and flowers and birds.
We are, as a pevp'e, sadly ignorant-of
all accurate rural knowledge. Wu guess
at many - cj'intry ibiugto,' but wo aic
certain of very few
It is uuexcusibU in a person like my
amiable neighbor Simpktns, who lives
from May to November on a farm of
iu a beautiful wooded coun
try, not to know a maple from a beech,
or a bobolink from a catbird. He once
han led Uio a bunch of pansies and called
tbeui violets, and on another occasion
he mistook sweet peas for geraniums.
What right has a human being, while
the air is full of bird music, to be wholly
ignorant of the performer's namo A
boy ought, also to be at home in a barn,
aud learu bow to harness a horse;
tinker up a wagon, feed the animals, and
do a hundred useful things, the experi
ence ot which may bo of special service
to him in after-life as an explorer or
traveler, when unlooked for emergencies
befall him. I have seen an ex-PicsiJeut
of the United States, when an old man,
descend from his carriage, and rearrange
buckles and straps about bis horses
when an accident occurred, while the
clumsy coachman stiod by in a kiod of
hopeless inactivity, not knowing the
j best thing to be dono. The ex-Presi
! dent told me he bad learned about suoh
{ matters on a farm in bis boyhood, and
; he was never at a loss for remedies on
| the road when his carriage broke down.
If 1 were a boy again, I would learu
to row and handle a sail, and above all,
: how to become proof against sea sickness
; Of course, overy young person nowadays,
! male and female, loarn to swim, so no
advice on that score need be proffered;
but if [ were u boy again I would learn
to float half a day, if nectary, in as
rough a bit of water as 1 could Sod on
our beautiful coaq£. A boy of fifteen
who cannot keep hi* head and legs all
right iu a stiff sea ought to—try until I
he oan No lad in these days ought to
drown—if ho can help it!
I would keep "better hours," if 1
were a boy again; that is, I would go to
bed earlier than most boys do. Noth
ing gives more mental aud bodily vigor
than sound rest wheu properly applied.
Sleep is our great replenishcr, and if wo
neglect to take naturally in ohildhood,
all the worse for us when we grow up.
If we go to bed early, we ripeu ; if we
sit up late, we decay ; and sooner or later
we ooatraot a disease called intumnia,
allowing it toba permanently fixed upon
us, and tben we decay «yen in youth
Lata hours are shadows from the grave
If I were a boy again, I would havsa
blank book in which I oould record, bc
fote going to bed, every day's eveuts just
M tbsy happened to mo personally. If
I by writing only two lines a day
in my diary, [ would start my little book ,
and faithfully put down what happened
to ioterest me.
On its p*«cs I would note down the
habtn of birds and animals an I saw
them, and ii the horse fell ill, down
should go hi* mulady in my book, and
what cured him "hould go there too If
the cat or dogsluiwi>d any peculiar traits,
all be chronicled in my
diary, and nothing worth fecorditip
should escape me.
There aro hundreds of things I would
correct in my life if I were a boy again,
and among theui is this especial one : I
would be more careful of my teeth
Seeing, since I have groivn up, how
much suffering is induced by the bad
habit of constantly eating candies and
Other sweet nuisances, I would shut my
o.oulh to all allurements of that sort-
Very hi t aud very cola substances I
would studiously avoid. Toothache in
our country is one of the national evils
I would have no dealings with tobacco
in any form if I were a boy a;ain. My
friend I'ipes tells uie he is such a martyr
to cigar boxes that his lile is a burden.
The habit of smoking has become such
a tyrant over him that ho cairics a to
bacco bowsprit at his damp, discolored
lips every hour of the day, aud he bog*
me to warn all the boys of my acquaint,
a nee, and say to them emphatically,
"Don't learn to smoke !" Ho tells mo
sadly, that his head is sometimes in such
a dizzy whirl, and his brain so foul, from
long habits of smoking he cannot break
off, that he is compelled to forgo much
that is pleasant in existence, and livo a
tobacco tortured lif'o from year to year.
Poor Tipes ! be is a sad warning to
young fellows who are just learning to

Stopping His Paper.
when a subscriber ga's so
mod because the editor differs with bim
cu the Prohibition question that be dis
continues his subscription and 'stops
his paper " we remind him of a good
anecdote of the late Horace Groely, the
well known editor of the New York
Tribune. Passing down Newspaper
Row in New York city, one morning,
he met one of his readers, who very ex
citcdly exclaimed :
"Mr Greely, after the article you pub
lished this morning I cnteud to slop your
paper 1"
• Oh, no," said Mr. Greely, "don't
do that."
"Yes sir, my mind is made up; I shall
stop the paper."
"Well, noff, I do bate that mightly :
let me persuade you out of it"
Hut the angry subscriber wi.s not to be
appeased, and they separated Late in
the afternoon, the two met again, when
Greely remarked :
"Mr Thompson, lam very glad you
did not carry out your threat tbia morn,
ing."
"What do you mean V
"Wny ; you Baid you were going to
stop uiy paper."
•'And so I did ; I went to the office
and had the paper stopped."
'you are surely mistaken. 1 have
just couie from there, and the press waß
ruuning and business was booming "
"Sir," said Thompson very pompous
ly, "I meant I intended to stop my
subscription to your piper."
"Oh! thunder!" rejoined Greely,
d—n your subscription ! I thought you
wem going to stop the runninig of my
psper, and knock mo out of a living.
My friend, let me tell you something,
one man is just one drop ot water in the
ooean—You didn't set the machinery of
this world in wotioo, and you can't stop
it—and when you are underneath the
ground things upon the surface will wag
on just the same as ever.
A Useful Hint.
When you wish to know what tbe
weather is to be, go out aud select the
smallest cloud you tee Keep your eyes
upon it, and if it decreases and disappears
it shows a state of the air which will
sure to be followed by fine weather;
but it it increases in size take your great
coat with you, if you are going from
home, for falling weaiher ia not far off.
The reason is this: when tbe air is
becoming obarged with electricity you
will see every cloud attracting all lesser
one* toward it, until it gathers into a
shower; and, on the contrary, when the
fluid i* passing off, or diffusing itself,
then a large oloud will be seen breaking
into pieoes and dissolving.

Cleanliness.
As a rule, every boy and girl, every
young man and wouiau who will, can
1 have clean clothes, a clean body, clean
| face, hands and feet, clean teeth, and a
j clean, sweet breath Now, in your owu
| mind, entrust cleanliness with its oppo
site If we were only seeking to please
i the eye, tho former is worth all the care
necessary to secure it; wo go farther
i than this, however. Mo one can be
| curo!ess ef his person, and unclean in
bis habits, without produoing or per
petuating like disorder in iriud, and in
| ail bo docs.
Our bodies aro covered with innumer
able pores or holes, 60 small that the
i nuked eye cannot see them, and through
these there is, or should be, a constant
passage if effete dead matter. In warm
weathet we are made sensible of this
tact by the perspiration which stands
upon oir faces and bands, or saturates
our clothes. This effort of tbe Bystetu
tj cleanse itself iosido is coubtant, whetb
! er we kuow it or not.
Suppose now that you neglect to keep
your body clean outside; these little
j holes are stopped, the dead ma tor which
should come out is kept io, the blood
' becomes impure, tbe brain wearies or
' gets lazy, we are lazy all over; then we
j gel slack and careless ; we do not like to
| study or think, evcu of nice things,
and so we are injured all through it we
do not keep tbe surfaoe ol the body oleau
: Ot course, while we are at, work or play,
! we get our clothes, face and hands soil
| ed, aud sometimes our whole bodies are
covered with dust ahd perspiration ; then
what a luxury it is to but he ! It ia not
bud that we sometimes get dirt ou us
while doing our duly, but it is bud to
; be careless uud let it remaiu ibere.
An Epidemic of Suicide.
A wavo of suicide seams to bo sweep-
I ing over the whole couutry. Iu all
parta ol tbe republio men and women
; are blowing out the little brains they
; poasitsand cntliog their worthless throats
in tho most reckless manner The com
pensating circumstance about it is that
it rids the world of a number of people
who, it they did not kill themselves,
would brobably kill somebody else, and
that they uiitke business lively for the
| undertakers and the coroners. It is
. almost impossible to account for (bis de
struetive tendency that oocura every

learnedly and eloquently about crime

A Brnwnville young man called on

while waiting for her to mike her ap
