ADVICE YOUNG MEN.

The following extract is from a series
of sermons by the Rev. ii. G. KNIGHT,
lately published in two volumes. They
are recommended by several clergymen
Of eminence, and are well worthy place
in the Library, both of the Moralist and
the Christian.
"The subject of morals will ever claim
your most earnest attention. Actions to
be right, must proceed from right mo-
tives. Such alone lead to uniform and
irreproachabe life. Were all classes of
the community sober and moral, hospi-
tails and asylums would be almost emp
tied Of their unhappy inmates. Inno-
cence and modesty, sobriety and indus
try, are all attainable qualities. To-
wards yourself and others, be honest,
temperate, and chaste-walk steadily on
in the path Of duty, whithersoever that
path may leave you. There neither is,
nor can be any middle course between
right and wrong. Excel in every good
work; be the pride and JOY Of your pa
rents; and blessing in the circles OF
your friends. Flee from lusts. Endca-
vor to be without spot or blemish. Ev-
or have sacred regard for virtue. -
You know that habits not checked in
youth will grow with your growth, and
strengthen with your strength. The lon
ger you act well, the greater will b'
your satisfaction, and soon will you d.
from choice what you at first did iron
duty. Venture upon nothing which yo'
suspect may be wrong. The most pru
dent course is, if possible, to keep out o
the reach Of temptation. The road o
error both in morals and religion is down
ward, and has but few stopping places
Very slight foibles, If INDUCED, will in
crease into faults; and faults, if incor
rected, will grow into crimes. Nice
herd together, and tread upon each 9th
er's heels. Besides, it is fatal mistake
that any indulgence Of body or mind cal
produce more than a nome ntary plea
sure. Happiness is to be found in n,
road, but that Of duty. Real respect o
