Fairs arc like the beautiful bow; in

better days would ever smile on us

i>f a few thousand dollars, visited an
uncle in the city, an old merchant, to !
gbi Ids advice about investing his
capital iu business :
'?(io back to the country, young
man," said the merchant,"and invest
your money in land, litiy a farm,
settle down on it, and do a sale busi
ness. I have been in business here
nearly forty years, ami have accumu- ?
luted a ^fortune, but it has been done ;
by fearlul risk, heavy responsibility, I
constaiit toil, tun) worrying ait.pieties. :
A dozen times 1 have been Oil the

business here wheu 1 did only one
besides myself succeeded. The rest
all tailed, one after the other, some
dragging their families to poverty
ami disgrace. Take my advice. Keep
away from the city ami its delusive
business avenues. Quiet coutentinont

country is the best loiirtllllO I could

Taking Medicine.
The Memphis druggists and tho
Memphis physiciuns, in the present
yellow lever panic in that city, unite
in earnestly warning the citizens who
remain and who cannot gel away
against the common, vicious practice
oC breaking down their systems and
debilitating their health by takuig
medicine w ith t he idol of preventing
the inroads of the fever. This prac
tice is said to be very general, an 1 it
works gnat injury. A. linn ofdrug
gists wrote t > tho Memphis "Appeal"
to protest ugiinst this irrational and
promiscuous tisa of medicines which
they .-ay they have had ample oppor
tunities of observing within the past
few days. "People," they say, "who
are perfectly well, seem determined
to disturb and tear their organisms
with patent medicinal agents,under
the delusion that they arc preventives
of sickness. Many literally gorge
themselves with such powerful drugs
as calomel blttemiss, qiiuim, etc.,
with the view of 'acting on the liver,'
and arc surprised if they (in I their
digestion, the indsI important func
tion of the human body, out of order
shortly afterwards, iu spite of them
selves." This is very sensible talk ,
and applies to other people besides
those exposed to a yellow fever epi
demic. The propensity of most per
sons, especially the least instructed
ami capable sort, to practice medi
cine upon themselves and turn their
rebel ions stomachs into apothecary
shops is Muncihing wonderful. It is
a fact thai a majority of men and a
large majority of women not only like
to take pills themselves, but to ad
minister them toothers In domestic
practice it is almost as comm in to
take physic as to say one's prayers',
yet probably n >l one iu a hundred of
llioso who thus dose themselves but
would he better w ithout the nauseous
nostrum they have swaUowcl. .Such
persons should remember what the
uy;-p, pt:c - Italian., .ordered .to be in
scribed upon his tomb-ton.): "I was
well -1 sought to be belter?bore I
ani " 1 be simplest regimen of nature
is worth tar more than any artificial
prophylaxis, and the rule of temper
ance in all things applies quite a?
much to pill-and potions as to more
familiar decoctions.? ttaUiniore San.

We noticed yesterday the launch
ing of a novel surf-boat during the
bathing hour, but did not reach the
party iu time to procure any particu
lais as to the name of the patent,
pati nice,or the special qualities claim ?
ed for it. It was cvi Icntly of rubber,
b( ing carried down lo the surf, wo
were told, in a roll undor a man's
arm, and was inflated with air pre-1
viotts to launching. It was propelled
by a single boatman by means of a
doub'e ended paddle, similar to that
useil with the Merriman suit. The
boat went skim min g about over the
billows at a rapid rate. Tho apparent
advantages would seem lo be the dis
patch with which it could be brought
into sei vice and launched by one in in
ahme, and its nondi tbility to be
swamped I y the breakers.
Since writing the above we have
learned that tho name of tho gentle
man who launched and exhibited the
boat with so much skill is Capt, Wtl
loughby, of New York, former owner
of the yacht Winwood, which secure 1
so many prizes in the races last sea
son. The boat is inflated by means
of a bellows. Several person i can sit
inside, while sonic twenty-live can be
sustained in tho water by e inging to
her sides. When not in use tho boat
can be folded up and packed in a
trunk.?Gape M<??/ Wave.,

What to Teach Boys.
A philosopher has said that true
education for hoys is to "teach them
what they ought to know when they
become men." What is it they ought
to know, then? First?To bo true ?
to be genuine. No education is worth
anything that does not include this.
A man had be tter never learn a lot
tor in the alphabet, and bo true and
genuine in intention, in action, rath :r
than being learned iu a!! seienso*
and till languages, to be at the saun
time false in heart, and counterfeit in
life. Above all things leach the boy
that truth is more than riches, innre
than culture, more than earthly pow
er or position. Second?To-be puro
in thought, language, and life?pure
in mind und body. An impure mau,
young or old, poisouiug the society
where he moves with smutty stories
and impure examples, is amoral ulcer,
a plague-spot, a leper, who ought to
be treated as llic lepers of o'd, who
were banished fr an s) doty, an 1 c >:n
pelled to cry "U.ielean," as a wan
ing to save othcfs from the pe-tileueo.
Third?To be uuselfiih, to care for
the feelings and comforts of ethers; t >
be po'ite, to be generous, noble, ami
manly. This will include a genuine
reverence for tho aged, ami things
sacred. Fourth?Tu be eelf-relian t
and self-helpful, oven from early
childhood?lo be iudustrious always,
and sclf-SUpporling at the ea.riie.it
proper ago. Teach thctn that all
honest work is honorable, and that an
idle, useless life of dependence on
others i.s disgraceful. When ahoy
has learned these four things, when he
has made these ideas a part of his
being?however young ho may bo,
however poor, or however rich, ho
has learned some of the most import
ant things he ought to know whoa ho
becomes a mau.? Etlucational?LontiUy.
Essential of a Lily's Eliiaitioa.
? r may ayow.^aya, Pr<??id?nt Eliot,
as the result of my reading; and ob
servation in the matter of education*
that I recognize but one montal ac
quisition as au essential part of tho
education of a lady or a gentleman?
namely, an accurate and refined use
of the mother tongue. Greek, Latiu,
French, German, mathematics, natur
al and physical science, metaphysics,,
history and aesthetics are ail profita
able and delightful, b>ih as training
ami as acquisitions, to him. who
studies them with intelligence aui
love, but not one of them has tho least
claim to be called an acquisition es
sential >o a liberal education, or an
essential part, of a sound training. A
thorough knowledge of several of
them obtained in college., makes a
richer, stronger and more fruitful
mind than a superficial acquaintance
with each and all 61 them. Tue frui t
ot liberal cducatiou is not learning,
but the capacity and desiro to learn;
not knowledge, but power.
About the best specimens of ready

are reported in a Virginia paper.

" When Gen. Getsy, commander of
the garrison of Fortress Monroe, re
ceived Oapt, Wise and the ctichm >n 1
Blues with a band of music at Ohl
Point, the other day, as soon as the
music struck up it frightened tho
team of a country man, consisting of
a runt, of a bull hitched to a .stick c irt,
to such an extent that he ran into
and demoralized tho entire command.
When order had been somewhat re
stored, Capt. Wise wittily re n ir col
to Gen. Gotsy:
'"Another Bull Run, General."
"Yes," replied tho General; "a
regular rout; but I promise you when
I get inside the fort you shall faro bet
tor at Getty'* butg,"
?'And they did, too."
