Dogmatlcasscrtiona and blind empiricism are losing caste amohg nil clasaet of all countries. People are beginniug to think lor themselves, and to regard authority much less than argu ment.

Written expressly for the Cnoic Abvocah, Our Lay Sermon, A BOY I "The Child is Father of iht Man." The boy it the most remtrkablo and amutingol ail young anlmalt. He la frisky as a kitten, knowing as a fox, and useless as a hedgehog. He Is, like ladles' gloves, of every size, and is by nature adapted to every stage of cusscdnees. Ho is too numer ous to be examined in a crowd, so we will take him one at a time and proceed to j ut bim tinder a microscope where be can lo cut off, at it were, by detachments. The youllt, upon whom our eagle eyo is riveled this week.iajust fifteen years of age. Ho hat accomplished the usual amount of going to and disappearing from school. He haa learned reading, writing, arithmetic aud the use of tobacco. A couple of girls in Mahoning think him the finest fellow in the whole world, and a young lady from Parrvville has made him immortal by printing his name, in full, will silver let tcra upon a ground of purple salin. Let us, for shortness, call him Josephus. It is a name that admits of abbreviation, scriplual comment and manifold comparison. Just et the present his parents are troubled about two thlnga. They want him to get a trade. and he wants them to get him a watch. The watch, et being the more important, is procured in the first place and a discussion ensues about tho trade. "Jo" would like to be President, but that office is filled. He would accept the proprietorship of the Pennsylvania and Reading Railroad, but Mr. Gowen wont give il to him. He would accept the nomination for Judge of Catbon and Monroe counties, but lie is too young. Ho would'nt mind being Sheriff but be don't want to livo in a jail. There is no bishopric vacant in the neighborhood; every third man In tho town is a doctor of medi cine; tbo chief burgess receives inadequate compensation for bis services; the high school and local paper havo completed their staffs; the hotels require nn clerks, and to moke a long story thort all the avenues to immediate success nnd oomlort are cutoff from Jos. However he must "rjot or die," and one fine morning be walks down to the foundry and Joins Ihe noble army of mold ers. After a month of diligence, he learns how to spoil tho boiler of a stovo or leg of a sewing machine without spilling any oflhe molten iron upon hit toet. He it getting along fairly well, and daily hard work keeps his mind from presidential or theo logioil speculations. Ho possesses the usual number of accomplishments, and can play the jewsharp. Hit week dayt roll by har moniously enough, but Iheie arises a di.fi culty about evenings and Sunday. And here comet a very important con-ildorallnn which hat not been dealt with by any edu cational tystetn. Joe is still a boy, und somewhat above the average boy at tbat. lie has not a very elevated notion of life, but, ontbe other hand, he has no greater vices than those which follow from chew ing a pound of "line cut" every week. He get an "eaay shave" at Rhoederer'a or at Rosebery't every Soturday, and goet lo church on Sunday evening when tho girls ore coming out. It other simple and uuas sinning ways be observes the mo-al law, nnd breaks at few of tho Ten Command mentt at a time at moy bo convenient, But there is absolutely nothing bad about him. In the hands of tome one who could direct him properly now, be may be mold ed at easily as a wax candle. But let us exrnilne for an instant the "molding" pro cess which Joseph undergoes. He has learned at school that any American boy may become Treoldent of the United States. He has heard tbat Andrew Jackson and Abraham Lincoln went barefooted when boys and worked at lumbering in the woods when young men. Ho bat heord at least of a hundred thousand caeet of men who began life with a shilling's worth of "no liont," tome of whom are now rich merch ant!, and otbert, perajvenlure, with dim. inished stock of notioca, legislating in their native states fur ten dollars a day, to be continued through the endless ages of etern ity. All this fires his ambition and Imagi nation. Joe, too, threatens that be will be come somebody. The foundry it made a ttarting point, and iaat good as any other. A trade which develops skill and intellig ence, with a nico adaptation of era and hand, provides a lever for great undertak ingt. Joe begins to leel tbat he is becoming a smart tort of a cbtp and each day at he leaves work he finds himself prospecting as to his future. He goes home; brushes bim slfup; eats, bis supper and etaods in the loorway with hit hands in his pockets This it tba very moment when Joe is to be captured for the White House or . If bit home were n.ade at agreeable at it ought to be, there it no doubt that Joe would ttay at home. If there exieled the tort of society which young men desire, Jo would seek that society and pas away his evenings in some way both instructive and entertain ing. But first let us understand that " Joe don't want no tea parties; thank you." If it it tuinmer ha wants to be in lb open air and stretch' bit limbs after the long toiling hours oflhe day, either watching or taking part in tome game or exercise which at tracts attention and holds his interett. There it usually no auch ral'onal excite ment sod eytry boy "worth bit oatt"wantt excitement. He'll meet people of bit own size and weight anyhow, anywhere. The time aud place are usually fixed in a saloon. And In tbe bar room, or near tha portals of a saloon, the tuinmer evening Is spent by our accommodating friend. Winter comet on. Tho borne it far less attractive even tbau in summer. The saloon is brilliant 1th lights and sparkling glsss. and big boned men are telling ttleir adventure garnished with vile oaths end uositrout lies. The billiard labia is surrounded by the smartest of the gang, and thoutt rise lor checks, liquor and cigars. Joe begins lo think tbtt tbit noisy crowd it an animate! tort of life, anyhow. There it nothing fiat, title or respectable about it. It Is rough, coarse, somewhat brutal and utterly un scrupulous, but the blood circulates freely here. Tbe very meanest, t)llhiet,t thought ; may be expressed, and tba meaner and filthier In louder 'he ipplauit. u . mat ter part iling lo a, fry, eeat, bmbyd chei kt at many oaths are heard at would link a man-of-war. Every small boy makes, hliiiaeir a giant, judged by the aire o(hla ottht, and Joe becomes at the rest with "By slug you , and nor, When Joe can talk In thia brilliantly daihixg atvle, I c may nswell retire. True to the new language he haa acquired ne aays, "I don't give a hy ." Joe has become rt production of the soloon. He may not be a drunkard or a gambler, but hit life and chiracter are blackened and deformed. For want of such rationalnmuseuieuts OA .Voting men must hove somehow, the taloou hat gained ntipthrri-rievotee. Amid the smoke and heat and light, ihe loud otlhs and ata ri ling dialogue, Joe doesn't particularly care If everything else in the world comes to grief. He finds lu his pretf nl surroundings The crowded hour of glorious lire That' worth au agewlthuut a name." And what, it will be aaked, Is tho remedy for all this? There it no absolute remedy, but there are tome very successful methods ol prevention. Home Influences must be made Infinitely stronger end more attrac tive. Hornet will haye to be made so bright and cheerful wiih light, warmth, comfort, music and company that eyery legitimate attraction of the bar-room shall bo brought into ploy at home. Parents maj object tu all this as not haying been the way in which they wero raised and as entailing too much trouble. But opinions on this matter hayj lo lo educated. And when parents see that they have more to do for their ch dren than merely feed and clothe them, a fuluie Joe will find hit old homea pleasant ploce to tp ml his evenings, and will not bury alt his energy In nn Iron foundry nor oil hit prospects iu n saloon.
