ARGUMENT FROM EXPERIENCE.

After our return to Boston we spent an
evening in company with an aged clergy
man. He was "a years old. He gave
US the following statement of his use of
snuff For sixty yeaIs," said he, g.
was tied to the snuf-box. | was so in the
habit of using snuff that | could not con-
verse five minutes without taking neal ly
as many pinches in the same time. And
about three months ago, as | was writing
sermon, quantity of snuff fell from my
nose on the paper before me. At this &C
cident | was much vexed; and after wip-
ing my paper | took my box and emptied
its contents into the chimney corner, and
put the box into the cupboard. And after
seven DAYS of struggle, l lost all banker
ing after snuff; and have had no desire
for it since have felt altogether better
since left off the use of it than did be-
fore" Here is encouragement for the in
ebriate, the temperate drinker, and the to-
bacco chewer, the snuff taker, and the
smoker, to make an effort to break off
from their improper habits. 1t may cost
a struggle-but victory may be won.-
This old man waged war against habit
which had increased in inveteracv for so
years and he triumDhed He thinks
; that all it needs to break of from any such
t habit, is to will to do So" If man
pleases he can do it." Try it, reader,
5 whoever you may be, who are in the hab-
it of using alcohol in any shape, or tobacco
e in any form. And no doubt you will
n prove successful, and find yourself better
i for it-posscssing better health-more
e comfortable feelings-and fuller purse.

E'On the Sd of November 1927, an i'm
mense species of the Greenland whale,
(Baloena mysticetus,) was found on the
coast of Belgium, dead, about IL miles
distant from Ostend, by crew of fisher
men. Their boat being Of too small ton
mage to move so enormous a mass, they
hailed two other boats to their assistance,
and the three together lowed the whale
towards Ostend harbor, on entering which

and it was cast on the sands east Of the
harbor, where it was dissected and after
wards exhibited in Paris and London, |

To YOUNG MEN.

There is no moral object so beautiful to
me as a conscientious young man! |
watch him as do a star in the heavens
clouds may be before him, but we know
that his light IS behind them, and will
beam again the blaze of others prosperi-
ty may outshine him, but we know that
though unseen, he illuminates his own
true sphere. He resists temptation not
without a struggle, for that is not virtue,
but he does resist and conquer; he hears
the sarcasms Of the profigate and it stings
him, for that is the trial of virtue, but he
heals the wound with his own pure touch.
He needs not the watchword Of fashion, if
1t leads TO sin; the atheist who says, not
only in his heart but with his lips, there
is no God,' controls him not, for he secs
the hand ola creating God and rejoices in
it. Woman is sheltered by fond arms
and guided by loving counsel, old age is
protected by It's experience, and manhood
by its strength; but the young man stands
amid the temptations OF the world like
seii-baEanced tower Happy he who
SEEKS and gains the prop and shelter Of
Christianity.
Onward, then, Conscientious youth -
raise thy standard and nerve thystlf for
goodness. If God has gwen thee Ltei-
Iectual power, awaken 1t III that cause -
never let it be said of thee, he helped to
swell the tide OF sin, by pouring his lnfu-
ence into its channels. lfthou art feeble
in mental strength, throw not that poor
iyo
arise, young man! assume the beautiful
garments OF virtue 1t is easy, fearless y
easy to sin; it is difficult to be pure and
hoIy. Put on thy strength, then let thy
chlvalry be aroused against error let
Truth be the lady of thy love-defend

HIGH LIVING AND MEAN THINKING
How much nicer people are in their
persons than in their minds. How anx-
ious are they to wear the appearance OF
wealth and taste in the things ofoutWard
show, while their intellects are all power
ty and meanness. See one of the apes OF
fashion with his coxcombries and ostenta-
ton of Iuxury. His clothes must be made
by the best tailor, his horses must be Of
the best blood, his wines of the finest fla
vor, his cookery of the highest zest; but
his reading is of the poorest friNolities, or
ofthe lowest and most despicable vulgari-
ty. In the enjoyment OF the animal SEN
ses he is an epicure-but a pig is clean
feeder compared with his mind, and pig
would eat good and bad, sweet and foul
alike, but his mind has no taste except for
