"The Richest Boj in America."

The papers arc telling about some boy in New England, now fourteen years of age, who is supposed to be the richest boy in the United States, because he has a great deal of money. ,To our mind the richest boy in 1 America is the one who is goodhearted, honest, intelligent, ambitious, willing to do and to do right. He is the one who loves his mother, and always has a kind word for her who

loves

his sister or sisters, and tries to help them, and who regards them with true affection. lie is the boy who does not call his father the "old man," but who loves him, speaks kindly to and of him, and tries to help him as the hairs of old age gather fast upon his brow.

The richest boy is the one who has pluck to fight his destiny and the future. He is the one who has the manhood to do right and be honest, and who is striving to be somebody who would not tell a lie to screen himself or betray a friend. He is the boy who has a heart for others whose young mind is full of novel thoughts for the future, and is determined to win a name by good deeds. He is the one who is looking forward to the time when he can have a wife —a dear, good girl—lored by him with all the depth of his nature, and for whom he will labor to make a good home and a good husband. This is the richest boy in America. Which one of our readers is it

This boy we like we would be glad to see would like to take by the hand and tell him to go on earnestly, that success might crown his efforts. And, if he is a poor boy, we should meet him at the threshold, bid him enter, and give him good advice, well and kindly meant. That other rich boy down in New England we don't care anything about, for there are fools and snobs enough to worship, flatter and spoil him.— JV. T. Democrat.

Fmicrnl ofaBce.

A gentleman writing from Glass"gow, relates the following incident. On Sunday rnorniiag last I had the pleasure of witnessing a most interesting ceremony, which desire to record for the "benefit of your readers. Whilst walking with a friend in a garden near Falkirk, we observed two bees issuing from one of the hives, bearing between them the body of a dead comrade, with which the}' flew for the distance of ten yaids. We followed them closely, and noted the care with which they selected a convenient hole at the side of the gravel walk—the tenderness with which they committed the body, head downwards, to the earth—and the solicitude with which they afterwards pushed against it two little stones, doubtless "In memoriam." Their task being ended, they paused for about a minute, perhaps to drop over the' grave of their little friend a sympathizing tear, and then they flew away, —Star in the West.

The doctor! says he has been struck with the large number of boys, aged from nine to! fifteen years, who smoke and he has .--been led to inquire into the conneclion of this habit with the loss of! health. He has observed thirty-eight boys, aged from nine to fifteen, who smoked more or less. Of these, dis tinct symptoms were present in twen-ty-seven. In twenty-two there were
