is remedy for cutaneous eruptions, scorbutic af-

breaking out which arises from sharp humors of
the blood.

The BEGINNING OF EvIL.-Young men
for the most part, are but little aware of
the danger which attends the beginnings
oferil No one becomes suddenly aban-
doned and pronigate. There is always
gradual progress. He begins in slight
occasional departures from rectitude, and
goes from one degree of guilt to another
till conscience becomes scared, the vi
cious propensity strong, the habit of in
diligence fixed, and the character ruined
Nothing is more obvious than this con-
ncction between the beginning and the
consummation of evil; and yet, hardly
any thing is more difficult, than to con-
vince the young of its reality. In enter
ing upon wrong courses they have not
the least expectation or fear ofthe dread
ful issue. They mean not to proceed be-
yond the point of safety; and they have
no doubt they can easily effect an escape,
whenever danger appears; but ere they
are aware, they are arrested by the iron
grasp of habit, and ruined forever.
Take for example, young man who
occasionally drinks to excess in the social
circle: he does not dream that he is en-
tering upon course which will probably
end i'm confirmed intemperance. He
means no harm; he says of the sin, is it
not little one; there can be no danger
in this. But soon his hands are made
strong, and he becomes the slave of a
scottish vice.
Thus ii is with all vicious practices.
However straight at first, they tend by a
strong and necessary impulse, to the point
of utter depravity of principle, and ruin
of character. There is no safety but in
guarding against the first approaches of
evil. To step upon forbidden ground, is
to throw ones self into the power of the
destroyer; and if God interposes not to
deliver, ruin is inevitable. 1t was a wise
saying among the ancients, that the way
Of vice lies down hill. Ifyou take but
lew steps, the motion soon becomes so
mpetuous and violent, that it is impossi-
Die for you to resist it. Philad. Adr.

APPRENTICES AND CLERKs.-All those
that serve are bound to execute the du-
ties they have engaged to perform, with
the greatest and most strict fidelity;
would consequently advise their doing too
much rather than too little, promoting the
interests of their masters as diligently as
their own, acting always with such can
dor, and being so regular and exact in
the execution of their task, as to be ena-
bled at all times, to give cheerful and
satisfactory account Of their conduct to
their employers; never to make an i'm
proper use ofthe confidence of their mas
ter; nor to disclose the errors and de-
iects of those whose bread they eat: nor
to suffer themselves to be tempted by
their passions to violate the respect which
they owe those to whom Providence has
subjected them. D.
