 We frequently see rich man, who haS (accamulaied; wealth by,honast industry. af. hIcted with cxtravagant and dissipated soni t--or, what is worse, an honorable and ex1 einplary father cursed with . dishonese child, who tarnishes, by his crimes, a nasne always respected aud brings down fo tho gTave,t in sorrow. the grey hairs of pure and upright life. This is really an afiic- tion, because. more or less, society al large suffers. It. is hard to reform those wh6 have grown up in vicious propensities; yet the vices of mature age should admonisl us to guard the voting shoU,s from seqnal blight and destrUction. A rich man should bring up his son, as the poor man does, to work and labor for himself. Early, and Gctipe, end steady employment ss tkE secrst to bring up children sDsn. No matter as what Occnpation-nO matter how labOri- ous, as long as the mind is employed---as long as attention is directed to proper ob4 jeets of bUsiness-bad examples and bad company will Do avoided. Five or six years of a young mar time thus closely occupied will confirm Him in habits of ifss dustry and his own resources ofmind and body--his own industry and enterprise will advance him1 ioHorahly and prosperously in life. A rich father should always help a child when he proves his ability and i'm clination to help himself. and not sooners We have no nobility, nor titled families, nor aristocratic distinctions; yet how fre- quently do we fnd an indnlgent rich father, who, from humble life, has raised himself to spend in gayety and tashion-@at the race-cOurse, the hotel, or tho billiard room --under the delusiOn that he never will want. and that he must inherit an ample fortune. What is the result2 Idleness be- gets vice, dissipation follows, and loss of health, of fortune, and character. is the in.. evitabie result. A rich man, instead of giving his son few hundreds now and then for what are called his contingent expensess and under the faliacious idea that he must make ati appearance like a gentleman, should say to him for every thousand which you earn by enterprise and industry | will add thousand safely invested for you, to be used at that advanced period ot life, when you will know the value of mon- ey, and are entitled to ease and comfort The very facility which young men have of obtaining money leads them into rpinoas

 accident, their means are checked, thoy re-

 Brandy and water, and ssgats-a fast
