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.

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

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

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.

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.
