Paris is a matter of conjecture; but it
seems his bed there did not exactly
consist of roses for his presence be-
coming known to the French authorl-

The question is frequently asked,
why arc not our young men as robust
and healthy pow as young men were
half century ago? And what is the
reason so many die young, and so few
live to old age. or even to middle life
We will endeavor to answer these que
ries agreeably 10 our own observation.
In the first place, young men half
century ago were brought up and edu
Gated in more Industrious, economical,
and temperate habits. They were then
under tutors and compelled to be obe-
dent to their parents and masters
They were made to retire to bed early,
and to exercise themselves at some
kind of manual labor previous to at.
tending to their studies, if they were
students if they were not students,
they were obliged to earn their break
fast, Cat some kind of labor,) before
they ate it. Their food then, was much
coarser and palmer, and, therefore,
more healthy. If the same kind of
conduct and living were pursued now
toward our boys and young men, they
would be as robust and healthy now us
their predecessors were, and live to as
as great an age, aud 50 would our
young women. But manners, customs
and living, have all changed. Now our
children are masters, they turn night
into day, and day into night. They
sit up till midnight, and all the beaut-
full atmosphere of the morning has pas
sed before they are up. 1t is really so,
and instead Of being early put to some
useful labor and exercise, they are
permitted to loiter away their precious
time, and cat and drink the hard ear
nings Of others. No wonder that there
are fifty paupers now TO where there
was but one then.
Many of the young men of the pres
ent day who find an early grave, are
guilty Of suicide! They actually kill
themselves by intemperance in meats
and drinks and dissipation. They live
5 years in one, i. e., they eat and drink
as much in one year as would serve a
healthy and temperate liver five I! not
to enlarge upon the alarming dissipa-
ton of our young people, which sweeps
millions to an early grave every year.
If there should not be speedy relor-
nation in the conduct of young people,
a man of fifty or sixty Should there be
such an one) will be looked upon in a
few years with admiration and aston
ishment u. s.. Gazette.

SPECULATION In Pubic LANDS
We find the following ia the Cincinna.
Ii Gazette Of the 25th ult., copied from
the Evansville (la. Journal.
The Mem York WinneJago Land
Company--the peoples money---and Y.
rcn.-Think not, gentle reader that
the long head 10 this article will have
appended to it, a long tale. No, it 10
soon told.
First There is a company Of land
spectators, ycleped, The New York
Winncbago Land Company" with an
immense capital Of twenty millions Of
dollars.
Second. Tho peoples money was
once safe in tho United states Bank
whore it was placed by the laws Of our
country. There it could not BIO used
for the vile purposes Of electioneering.
1t was removed thence by the fiat Of
General Jackson, and placed in the pei
banks--that is to say, in banks that
would succumb to the powers that be,
and allow the money to be used for the
purpose of bringing to the presidency
of the United States the adopted heir Of
General Jackson but the money is
not in these banks now.
Third. Martin Van Buren, is the
principal stakeholder in the New York
Winnebago Land Company.
Fourth. The New York Winneboro
Land Company is constituted of Van
Buren, men, good and true.
Nth. The New York Winnebsgo
Land Company has large portion Of
the peoples money in the hands of
their agents, who arc travelling thro'
the western country and buying the
peoples land with il.
Sirih. The agents of the New York
Winnebago Land Company, are, as in
duty bound, cunningIy electioneering To-
make Martin Van Buren, President Of
these United States.
Now, reader, what think you of this
Monster, the New York Winnebago
Lond Company. There is no fiction
in these statements. 1t is within our
knowledge, that this company has wi
thin a few days, purchased great deal
ofyaloable land in this city. Suppose
his company should lay their whole
capital, twenty millions of dollars, i'm
the purchase Of new lands, it would
purchase sixteen million acres of IandS
territory enough for the erection Of am
independent kingdom. Here, indeed,
is monster moro to be feared than
thousand United States Banks.
The Missouri Republican, as quo
ted by the Washington Telegraph, of
the 3lst ult., in reference to land Spec
ulatlons, says:
"But corruption has gone even far
Their than this. We know a case--
and can point to the man, now menu
