From he German Rg9rme) Veelly Messenger.
FEW WORDS TO YOUNG MEN. 1t is one
of the gIories of this highly favored land in
which we live, that the door is open for the
humblest and poorest of her sons to become
useful and respectable in society. The poor
may become rich, and The most ignorant may
obtain such an education rs will fit them
for useful aud consequent responsibility,
There Is not IA farmers son, nor an appren-
uced mechanic, but what may, by seli-im-
provcment and application, store his mind
by useful feadIng to become both useful
and respectable IN society. One hour in a
day enjoyed IN reading will in the course
OF lew years, enat lc him TO stand SIDE by
side with one half Of his fellow men who
have had the best opportunities Of receiving
an ordlnary,if not a liberal education. How
many young men of good natural talents
have been neglected by their parents or
guardians IN regard to their education
They have scarcely had the rudlmcnts oil
their mother tongue but might, by little
application, surmount all these adverse CIR
cumstances, and become ornaments to the
state OF the church.
was led TO these remarks by referring to
the circumstances Of one Of our most emf
nent men IN the west, who, when he was 80
years of age, diG not know the alphabet.
He made ms living by hard daily labor. At
that period OF lie he commenced by learn
ing the 4, b, Gle employed his even
lngs IN reading papers, thea he procured a
few books, and IN few years he had a liz
tie library Of books. lIo has been a mem
Der Of Congress for number Of years, and
filled that station with honor and credit
and not long ago he was governor Of one oil
the western states. Nor has he been un-
worthy OF such a trust, as l. frequently the
case but on the contrary, he is cmlncntly
qualified for H. and his high standing IN the
halls OF legislation has never been question
ed, having been one Of rs most eloquent and
efficient members.
It's tue that every one Will not be able
to become eunieaf but every one may by
improving h.s talents, do much toward hi,
own advancement in intellectual improve
ment. II young men can only be induced
10 spend their evenings al home IN usci1
reading, no matter what have been their Op
porlunIty previously, they may yet bccom,
what they are not now likely 10 be-iutel
Iigent, useful members Of society; anc
whether they continue 10 be mechanics az
farmers or not, they wili adorn their station
and add an incalculable amount TO thea
personal comfort and happiness, by posses
ng sources Of enjoyment within themselves

Navy ISLAND Is two miles above Niagara
Falls, halt mile from the Canadian ard
mile and half from the American shore.
1t comprises 33j acres and bclodgs ia Can
ada Grand Island belonging to- the Unit
ed States lies TO the south of Navy Island,
and comprises some thousands of acres. It's
north end covers about one third of Navy
Island, 10y drawing parallel line from the
American shore, and Is little short Of a
bali a mile from 1t. Between tie two Is
lands the current is rapid, but not so rapid
as il is between the Navy Island and the
Canada shorc--the distance between which
is, we should Judge, trfle over half mile.
1t would be Impossible for boat TO make
Its way from the Canada shore to the Island,
IL direct line The current would carry
them below the Island, and, unless skilIfully
managed. below the Falls. The only pos
siblc way for landing TO be eff ctcd by the
Royalsis, would be 10 start from some point
n mile or more above, more partially with
the current, and strike upon the south point
OF the Island.
/ If no resistance should be made, this cod
very easily be accomplished F.; but the dis
charge OF Il few pieces of ordnance-laden
with grape shot-upon the feet or boats
which would necessarily be employed upon
such an expedition, would so MAIN them as
/ to inevitably either sink them,o make them
so perfectly unmanagenblc as TO be carried
with the current over the Falls. 1t is the
knowledge the fact which prevented more
than fifteen to volunteer their services for
an attack upon the Island. The thunder
ings of the mighty cataract were far more
eloquent than the harangue of Governor
Head and its frowning brow more terrific
than his threats and swaggerlngs. 1t makes
Navy Island -unadorned with either walls
or bulwarks- more formidable than Que
bee or Gibraltar, and perfectly imprcgna-
bic. Five hundred men, well armed, and
with a good train of artillery, might bid E.
ternal defiance TO ten thousand.
Chippewa is about half mile below the
north point ofthc Island and so situated
that it could be destroyed by hot shot from
the Island. The troops on the Canad;
shores are principally quartercd in two large
taverns directly opposite the centre of the
Island both of which could he easily shat
tered by the patriot artillery. The banks
Of the Island are from ten to twenty feet il
height, and generally perpendicular. A
f no point, however, would they present ;
landing, if unguarded but their elevation
: would enable a few men 70 do wonderful
execution among those who would venture
On attackagainst an armed force

BLOWING BUBBLES.

Not 50 much 4 our gay feather,
Flying hope has lett behind
Still, the world are busy blowing
Every one some empty ball,
So the seeds OF mischief sowing.
Where 20 burst the bubbles fall.
