Samoa. The Samoa!) (formerly Navigators') Inlands area lovely oasis in the lonely waste of the South Pacific. Picturesque, fertile, resourceful, they have for a decade allured the eyes of three great nations, and of these" the United fcjtates was the first to embody in a formal treaty a reciprocal interest and attachment. It was in 1S7S that the administration of President Hayes made a treaty with King Malietoa, which guaranteed to us the privileges which we desired, and to him the recognition which he was sanguine enough to regard as the pledge of his stability. At the beginning of the following year he entered into a commercial convention with Germany, and six months later bound himself by a singular instrument to England. The new zeal for colonizing with which the German people were inspired, found one of its earliest outlets in Samoa, and subse' quent events lead inevitably to the conclusion that Prince Bismarck designed his compact with Malietoa to bear such fruitage as that blameless king had never dreamed of. A German trading-house had already acquired such a foothold in the islands as to serve the purposes or diplomacy wneuever the time seemed ripe, through the fiublio pretence of vested rights. In 884 Prince Bismarck conceived that the moment had arrived for the application of a Arm, but gentle pressure, and the Samoan King put his name to a treaty which he almost immediately repudiated as having been signed under duress, and which England and the United States refused to consider] binding. Two years Inter the South Pacific delimitation treaty between England and Germany declared Samoa neutral territory, but in the interval the German consular, and mercantile agents began a line of conduct I which arouaed the fears and suscepti-j bilities of the Samoans, and grossly outraged the dignity of their king: so that when in the spring of 1SS6 a German squadron steamed into the harbor of Apia, no one was surprised, and least of all Tamasese, who had been incited to rebellion by Dr. Stuebel, the German consul, and Mr. Weber, t lie German tradesman. This parade of power was not the first overt act, but it was the most imposing demonstration in the long series of outrages which have resulted in the capture and deportation of King Malietoa by Germany and in a devastating civil war. [Arthur Richmond, in N. A. Review. What Converted llim. Admiral Farragut, one of the naval heroes iu the late war, tells the story of hie boyhood. It would be well for all boys to learn, before the habit becoints fixed, that there is nothing manly in imitating the vices of older people. When I was'ten years old I was with my father on board a man-of-war. J had some qualities, that, I thought, ft man rvf mo T /-nlllil QVVP51I1 lilvP mauv c* uiau v* imv* wm.v* an old salt, could driDkas stiff a ghiss of grog as if I had doubled Cape Horn, and could smoke like a locomotive. 1 was great at cards, aud fond of gaming in every shape. At the close of dinner one day, my father turned everybody out of the cabin, locked the door, and said to me: "David, what do you mean to be?" "I mean to follow the sea." "Follow the sea! Yes, to be a poor, miserable, drunken sailor before the mast; be kicked and cutled about tlie world, and die in some fever hospital in a foreign land. No, David; no boy ever trod the quarter-deck with such principles as you have and such habits as you exhibit. You'll have to change your whole course of life if you ever become a man." My father left me and went on dock. I was stunned by the rebuke, and overwhelmed with mortilication. 'A poor, miserable, drunken sailor before the mast. Be kicked and culled about the world, and die in some fever hospital. That is to be my fa!o," thought I. "I will change tny life, and change it at once. I'll never utter another oath; I will never drink another drop of intoxicating liquor; 1 will never gamble." I have kept these three vows ever since. Shortly afier *I had made them I became a Chris tSan. That act was the turning point in my destiny. A Word to Planters.?Now is the time to display your good judgment, if , you desire to be successful. Select your land for a tobacco crop with care; plant no laud in tobacco that is not adapted to its proper growth ; be very careful at this point; do uot plant any land in tobacco merely to square up your field ; if the soil is not what it should be to produce the crop you doHire, straighten it out by planting peas on the objectionable parts, orsoiue other crop. Ana mark off only so much as you can manure well- and cultivate well and take care of nicely. A man that . overcrops himself does harm, not only to himself, but to his neighbor and to his occupation. Any business that is worth doiug at all is worthy of being well done. Draw in your borders and bestow all the attention and hibor on one acre of land that you have heretofore been putting on one ?cre and a half. You try to cultivate more land than you can do justice to. Put all the labor and manure on one acre instead of one and a half and it will give you as much crop and a great deal better crop, more money and more satisfaction. These are facts that demand your serious consideration. Gaining Crkdit.?'The most trifling actions that atleet a man's credit are to be regarded. The sound of your hammer at live o'ciock in tno morning, or at nineo'cl >ck at night, heard hy a creditor, makes him ejisy six months longer; but if he sees you at the billiard table, or hears your voice at a tavern, when you should be at work, he sends for his money the next day. Another star route across the plains in Texas, over which daily service is made, is the route from Tayati to Saragora and Fort Stockton, distance seventy-five milfs. The purpose of these two routes is to get the mails daily to the forts*, and the service costs many thousands of dollars more than the revenues amount to, they being insignificant. It is such expensive but necessary routes as thm) t liut tlraw on the great excesses of revenues above expenditure of the large oflicrs of tincountry.?Cincinnati Times-Mar. m ? "" That benevolence which expresses itself only under the stimulus of intense excitement, and never responds to or appeal which does not evoke tears, is not the l>est kind. Men ought to give at the command of reason and conscience, and because they love to give. Upon that basis it is possible to erect systems of philanthropic ellbrt without fear that they will collapse. Spasms of benevolence are unreliable *?? Scatter sassafras bark among dried! fruit to keep it from becoming wormy.' p:y.. ' ' . r?- - * ? " ? ' * * ' Spending-Money for Boys. There are few things harder for parents to decide than the question as to whether their boys shall have or shall not have a regular or irregular allowance of money, to spend as they choose. We have all, probably, seen both plans tried, both fail, both succeed. Some are naturally honorable and self-controlled, some the reverse. Some will seem to grow up well under either treatment. Others will need the careful, thoughtful guiding, and will respond to it; while they would fail wofully for the lack of it. Two priuciples are good to inculcate at an early age. The first is, "Earn, and have." Let the boy feel that his father and mother earn what they have; that they have the right to spend it as they choose, for need or pleasure; that he has not the right to take and use, for needless, unadvised pleasure, what he has not earned ; that, because he was not the earner, he must be accountable for all he uses. The second principle iB that home, food, clothing, and education areifull compensations for all he can give of faithfulness, industry, obedience, earnest study, and good habits. What ever else parents give is of their special kindness, and not to be viewed by the boy as his due. Many heart-aches would be saved if boys were made to feei these two principles in a right, broad, kind way, from the beginning. In some cases, I have known good effect to come from telling a boy what the law requires from fathers?to give their boys shelter and clothing sufficient to keep them from suffering from the elements, and food to keep them from starving or sickness, if they" are able to give these. All else is the father's free gift to the boy. It is good to have such a wholesome relation between a boy and his parents that he can always feel free to go to them, ask for money to go to a specified place or buy a specified thing, get the money if it is right and be refused if it is wrong, and all in a reasonable way ; or to give a boy an allowance, and require an itemized account of its expenditure." Either way makes the boy accountable to higher authority, and I helns crowtli in wisdom and care. Be sure you watch closely in either case to see if your boy's word is to be relied upon. Do not be suspicious, but be watchful. It is not good for a boy to feel suspicion, but it is good for him to feel watchfulness. Temptations multiply with money and unaccountability. Even little indulgences, not absolutely wrong in themselves, grow upon a boy until they weaken body or character. Such ] things as quantities of candy, frequent lunches at unseasonable hours, a surplus of neck-ties and kid gloves, a variety of scarf-pins and hats, and even the habit of easy, frequent gift-giving that means nothing of self-sacrifice to the giver, are things far from desirable. Some persons feel that when a boy begins to earn money in small sums, as some of our boys do at an early age, he should have that to spend freely and without account. If the boy goes away from home, he must do this: it is almost the only way. But, if he stays in the home, it is very unwise not to make him pay a portion of his wages toward his board, even if he earns only two or three dollars a week, lie sure lie will value the home more highly for abiding by the principle. "Earn and have." I know one father who saw with satisfaction his boys spent their money in taking nice young girls out to places of amusement, giving them flowers and other gifts, and thought how much better that was than spending their eveningsofl'with the boys. So it seemed. But no money was put into the home, and naturally, none into the bank; mother and sister were less in their minds and actions than the girls they escorted; tastes grew* extravagant; wrong ideas of life were gained; evenings at home were deemed stupid and grew fewer. And all this tended toward a weakening of charaeter and depraving of laste. The boys became wothless, dissipated young men, and are hopeless problems to their father to-day. Watchful guidance, discriminating judgment, are to be used always; but it is better to err by too strict a denial of money freedom than to put the temptation of unaccountability in the way ol' our growing young men. [ The Christian Register. Flies and Wolves. When visiting a friend last summer he called my attention to a curious plan for preventing the plague of flies in his house. The upper sash of one of the windows in his sitting-room being open for ventillation, there was suspended outside a piece of common fishing-net. My friend told me that not a Hy would venture to pass through it. He has watched for an hour at a time, and seen swarms fly to within a few inches of the net, and (then, after buzzing about for a little, depart. He told me the flies would pass through the net if there was a through light?that is, another window in the opposite wall. Though the day was very warm, I did not see a single fly in the room during my visit, though'elsewhere in the town they were to be seen in abundance. I suppose they imagine the net to be a spider's "web, or some other trap ini tended for their destruction.

"Thousands of men in this town can't wait for Monday; so they adverI lisc-their wares on Sunday, and then go to church, sit in the highest-priced i pews, while the poor children, who | ought to be in the house of Clod and in i Sunday-school, are hawking their ' wares about the streets in the newspai pets." "Yousay we must prepare for Moni day," he continued. "The best way to brace up for Monday is not to think of it on .Sunday. People sit in our ! churches, and while the preacher is trying to instil truth into their minds pile the church interior up to the lofty Ceiling with their hales and boxes of 'merchandise.
