Hume Training.
It is related of the boys who re
cently wrecked a railroad train near
Rome, X. Y., for purposes of rob
bery, and, having killed the engi
neer, are now held for trial on the
charge of murder, that an investiga
tion shows thorn to be of respectable
parentage; that all had been partly
educated, but that they had been al
lowed to run wild, receiving no borne
training, their parents being careless
or neglecttul of them. That is the
home story of all the vagabonds and
criminals in the country, norham.
except those who have come of
criminal stock and have been trained
to prey upon their fellows. The ab
sence of discipline and home train
ing may produce as evil effects as
positive education to a criminal ca
reer.
The indulgent parent who permits
his children to grow up lazy, neg
lectful of duty, self-indulgent and
free from control runs the risk of
having them reach early manhood
devoid of moral principles and inca
pable of maintaining themselves by
honorable employment. In some re
spects this last is more to be dread
ed than lack of moral principles, for
the latter may be developed in later
years. But the inability or unwil
lingness to work for one's mainten
ance exposes the victim to great
temptations to crime temptations
ovorcomc moral teachings and the
dread of the law. The young man
who knows no trade, who is lazy and
indifferent and unaccustomed to sub
mit to discipline, can scarcely ob
tain employment, or if, through the
favor of friends, he is given a situa
tion, can scarcely hold it. His idle
ness brings him into association with
kindred spirits, and one among the
number is tolerably sure to suggest
an easy way out of their difficulties
by the commission of crimes made
familiar to them through the perusal
of Hash literature.
The wonder is not that boys thus
situated are led into the commission
of crimes, but that so many escape
from the temptation and after some
years' of idleness settle down to a
life of honest industry. It is no easy ut j started to tell about the corn
task to train a boy in the way he motion the preparation for the in
should go: many disappointments j f.x;r jhat is what it used to be
come to parents who have honestly cun0d, and it is a proper word. It
endeavored to give their children j ;s m tjie dictionary and means the
good training and have been neither
ignorant nor neglectful, but there
are some essential principles that
can and should be followed to keep
boys from going to the bad. They
should be made from the first to re
spect authority and should not be
allowed to acquire lazy habits, but
be required to do their proper share
of household work. To keep them
from evil associations they should be
urged to bring their friends to their
own home and should not be allowed
to "run wild," especially at night.
The teaching of moral principles
is, of course, the duty of parents,
who should also keep an eye upon
the literature their boys read, en
deavoring to inspire them with a
taste for wholesome books not nec
essarily instructive works always,
but novels whose influence is health
ful. The best that can be clone, per
haps, is to encourage the formation
of good habits by interesting the
youth in something that will either
be of benefit to him or at least keep
i,;m not of mischief. Two boys who
do not greatly differ in disposition,
moral principles or intelligence part
when they are fifteen or sixteen
years of age, one to become a crimi
nal, the other to grow into a respect
ed member of society. Countless in
fluences, some of them unseen, have
had their share in determining the
course of each, but the most potent
influences are tastes, habits, associ
ates and temptations. Tastes and
habits can to some extent be tormect
tchful parent; the boy can
also be guarded against
bad assoc -
ates.

A HP'S BOY 3IAHH1ES.
Bill Meets the Happy Pair and Tells
How the (Juestion is Popped.
There has betn a commotion in
these parts. Our Florida boy has
crossed the Rubicon and got married.
He found his bride last Winter near
Sanford, and being called profession
ally to visit her invalid father, took
ad vantage of the old gentleman and
tried his arts upon the daughter. It
doesn"t take a smart, good looking
young man long to capture an unsus
pecting maiden and so she surren
dered at discretion. The mother
generally falls into line with the
choice of an obedient daughter, but
the old gentleman wasent so easily
harmonized. "I'll think about it,
I'll think about it," said ho. 'T
don't -know much about you! I'll
have to inquire. I thought you
were coming out here to see me, but
it seems I was mistaken. Are 3-ou
making enough to support a wife?
Do you lay up anything or do you
spend it all? "What does Sara say
about it, and her mother? This is a
surprise to me, sir; a surprise, but I
might have expected it. I will con
sider it, sir, and give you an answer
before we return to Philadelphia."
My recollection is that it is an aw
ful solemn affair to ask the old gen
tleman for his daughter. I put it off
from day to day. I dreaded it. I
had no trouble with the daughter or
the mother, but these old solid fath
ers can't be beguiled with good looks
and honied words. I would like to
see a book full of such interviews
what the young man said and how
he said it and what the old man said
in reply. I knew a young man in
the long ago who put it off until he
found the old man alone in his field
sitting on a log and he was so exci
ted that he forgot himself and asked
him to please to step this way for a
minute. .The old man smiled and
said: "Go ahead, Jim, there is no
bod 3r behind this log."
In my 3-oung days there had to be
a personal interview. "Writing a
letter to the old man would hardly
have been tolerated, out now it is
quite common, and so the modern
youth avoids much embarrassment.
WI13-, they even pop the question in
a letter and cover whole pages with
adoration and admiration and adula
tion and all the other ations and
some promises that are likely to be
forgotten after the honeymoon is
over. In our day the girls waited
modestly to be courted, but now
they are more aggressive and man3'
of them set snares to catch their
game. Dean Swift says that the
reason why there are so many un
happy marriages is that the young
ladies spend more time in making
nets than in making cages. I don't
like these cold, calculating matrimo
nial alliances. The exquisite, ecsta
tic, angelic questions of love should
not be suppressed. Never was a
bride more charming- won than
Coleridge's Genevieve. He had told
her a tender, touching story and it
ended so sweetly that
".She wept with pity and delight:
She blushed with love and
shame.
And like the murmur of a dream
1 heard her breathe my name."
! reception of the wedding party at
, the home of the groom's parents,
i You see, the bride was a stranger to
j us. Her home was in Philadelphia
and our boy had to travel 1,000
miles to get her and liked to have
been shipwrecked off Cape Ilatteras
on the way. The vessel lost two
days in the storm. For a week be
fore that my folks had been cleaning
up the house and the yard and seed
ing raisins and stall-feeding turkey
gobblers and they kept me or the
man servant trotting to town for
"sugar and spice and all that's
nice" or something else a dozen
times a day. And they talked and
worked and wondered what kind of
a girl the boy was bringing into the
family. I was greatly admonished
how to behave, and as friends and
kindred had been invited to a grand
dining and vsome would stay over
ni"ht, they said I might sleep on the
sofa, as I had done before on such
occasions. I am a ver3' humble man
and was thankful. I would have
slent out doors on a plank if they
had said so. I was instructed to go
to Atlanta and meet the bride and
groom and escort them to our un
pretentious home, which I did with
exceeding pleasure.
It is all over now and my wife and
I are calm and serene. What the
Quaker City has lost we have gained
another kind, loving and consider
ate daughter. They were not mar
ried in haste and are not likely to re
pent at leisure. There is another
entry to make now in the f amity Bi
ble. The good old book is getting
pretty full of records. Births, mar
riages and deaths nature's rota

sorrow. Old Father Time has been
kind to us for a good while. The

but two grand-children from the
flock. The old rascal shakes his.
whetted sc3rthe at me occasionally
and wags his head and grins and
passes on, and cuts down ray friends,
the friends of my 3-outh to warn me.
Not long ago he cut down Dr. Rat
te3r, the noble-hearted surgeon, the
friend of my family-for fortj'-five
.years; the gentle-hearted man whom
everybody loved. He was younger
than I, but he was ripe. He had
done enough and was tired. And
only last week he cut down Dr. Rich
Branham, the man of God, the
preacher, editor and educator, a man
whose pure, exalted character and
life-long service was an illustrious
example to the generation that fol
lowed in his wake. He, too, was
ripe.
The lives of such men all remind us
We may make our lives sublime.
But we don't do it. It is pitiful to
think how few out of the millions
leave foot-prints on the sand. How
many millions have died and left no
sign, no mark, no impressive exam
ple for good; nothing but that they
lived and died and the epitaph
should be:
Once in the flight of
There lived a man
ages pat
A man or a woman in the hum
blest walks of life can live sublime
and thousands of thein do it. Long
fellow says it is sublime to "suffer
and be strong." I remember a poor
bed-ridden invalid whose knees were
drawn to his chin and his fingers to
his wrists ami his spine bent like a
bow from chronic rheumatism, but
his face was almost angelic in its
sweetness and his gratitude to God
for His goodness was marvelous.
That good man's influence over the
family that gave him food and shel
ter and over the neighbors was sub
lime. The poor have more opportu
nities to show true sublimity of char
acter than the rich. Every man and
woman should begin here in this life
the rudiments of an education for
the life to come. The more we learn
here of truth, patience, virtue, grat
itude and love to God and man the
higher stand we will take among the
saints. Heaven is a school and is as
progressive as the schools of earth.

Elias to be present at the transfigu

What does this Thanksgiving '
mean? Is it in earnest or is itaj
sham? Are the people thankful or!
! just hungry? How can a man be
grateful unless he knows something
of the Giver and how can he know
unless he communes with nature and
nature's God. But I didn't start to
writf a sermon. Let the preachers
do that. We have had our Thanks
giving and my wife and I received
the benedictions of a score of chil-
idren and grandchildren and our new
j daughter is fairly introduced to her

i politics and much of her religion is
i concentrated in her husband, and
S will remain so as long as he is kind

An Example Worthy of Imitating.

A poor brick mason, W. F. Fin
ger, during the financial panic was
thrown out of employment, yet was
unwilling to be idle, so he proposed
to his Methodist brethren to build a
nice brick church at Asbury church,
near his home in Lincoln count3', in
stead of their old and dilapidated
house. Theyr pleaded "hard times
and no monc3r." But undismayed
by his unpropitious environments
and his poverty, he went to work
alone, made the brick and put them
in the walls until a nice, stylish
brick church worth $1,500 now
stands as a monument of his labor
and generosity. His neighbors ad
miring his pluck under difficulties,
came to his aid and while he did the
-brick work, they hauled lumber and
assisted him, in his self imposed la
bor of love. He alone did $1,000
worth of work, and the other church
members bore, about one-third of the
cost, say $500. Here is what one
man, a poor mason and a Methodist
hero, can do ! Let others follow the
example of W. F. Finger, a bright
3-oung man who looks like a boy.
This church begun last year has re
eentty been finished.
The Hillsboro Observer says that
a few days ago, after W. II. Lloyd,

sound was noticed. Upon examin
ing the bed there was found a bag
containing $140.71 in gold and silver.
When most needed it is not unusual

with a severe attack of croup. He savs:
'My wife insisted that I go for the doc

Siwcial Correspondence.
Business during the past week has
continued comparatively quiet. The
period of holida3T activit3r in retail
trade is usualty one of increasing
apatln' in prima markets. Trad
ers in many lines are awaiting the
absorption b3T consumers of stocks
bought in anticipation of demand
early in the Fall, and this natural
tendency to curtail operations at the
outset of December is more noticea
ble in some departments on account
of the recent downward trend and
continued unccrtaint3r with regard
to the near future of prices. But
the movement is still of large vol
ume, as attested by bank clearings,
which were 7 per cent, larger than
those of the first week in December
last year, and b3r the November re
ports of increased railroad earnings,
which show aggregate gains for the
month of nearly 7 per cent. The
continued depletion of the Federal
Treasury b3' gold exports disturbs
confidence in financial circles; but
now that Congress is in session, and
the danger and means of relief have
been clearty pointed out by the
President, the people reasonably ex
pect that this source of business dis
quiet will be speedily eliminated
from the situation b3T the wisdom
and patriotism of the lawmakers at
Washington. Business failures dur
ing four weeks of November, accord
ing to II. G. Dun & Co., showed lia
bilities of $12,099,293, against $10,
5S1,S'73 for the corresponding period
last year. For the last week the to
tal number of failures in the United
States and Canada was 374, against
425 during the first week in Decem
ber, 1894.
Cotton ryices have declined 1 of a
cent per pound, owing to speculative
liquidation, due in part to a larger
Bombay movement and to the fear
of political troubles in Europe, and
owing also to increased offerings
from the South and a comparatively
indifferent demand from consumers.
Exports have moderately increased,
but still fall considerably short of
last year's weekby total, and for the
season have been about 875,000 bales
less than the3' were during the cor
responding period in 1694. Demand
from home spinners is light, and
Northern mill takings since Sep
tember 1st, have been nearly a
third less than they were a year
ago. The total visible supply of
cotton for the world is b. ia4,109
bales, of which 3,413,909 bales are
American, against 4,235,884 bales
and 3.S95,u"84 bales respectively last
year. Receipts of cotton during last
week at all interior towns were 191,
230 bales; receipts from the planta
tions, 205, 571 bales; crop in sight, 3,
SUO.OOO bales.
Wheat prices have advanced 1; to
1; cents per bushel. Strengthening
factors in the markets have been a
moderately decreased interior move
ment, an active demand for cash
grain in the West both for country
milling and for shipment to re-enforce
depleted stocks on the sea
board, an improved foreign inquir3,
and the restraining effect upon bear
ish speculation which has been exert
ed by the political tension in Europe.
The movement of Winter wheat has
continued comparatively small, and
millers East and West have been
pa3-ing a premium over contract
wheat prices in order to secure need
ed supplies. The tendency to hold
for higher prices is still strongh- ev
idenced in the central West, in spite
of the increasing inroads of Spring
wheat into Winter milling districts;
and the small movement of Winter
wheat induces wider belief in re
ports of crop shortage. If, however,
as many believe the crop have 3-ield-
ed 250,000,000 bushels or more, the
light receipts are due to a holding-
back policy which suggests a possi
ble menace to improving values la
ter in the season, when a check to
the bir Spring wheat deliveries
would otherwise encourage a tenden
C3r to price improvement.
The corn situation has not chang
ed. There is a fair export demand,
but prices have not appreciably im
proved because the unprecedented
yield has discouraged strong sup
port to a movement to advance
them. The interior offerings are
fair, but not large in proportion to
the suppty, and the situation sug
gests a general feeling in the West
that prices are uureasonabty low and
must ultimately advance. This is
evident in the unusualty extensive
cribbing operations throughout the
West. Values of provisions have
favored bu3ers, owing to the heavy
receipts of hogs at packing centres;
but there has been a fair distribution
of products for home consumption.
These figures represent the number of
bottles of L)r. King's New Discovery for
