On COMMENCING RUsINEss.-As this
Is an affair which is likely TO influence your
whole future life, advise you, in the most
earnest and serious manner, 10 examine the
ground over and over again, before you re-
solve on starting for the prize.
Many young men, by their impotence
and precipitation in this particular step.
have fastened their own ruin, and rendered
themselves the perpetual slaves Of trouble
and wretchedness. To commence business
and fail, is like the blast 10 the bIossom-if
ii do not absolutely kill, it leaves it diseas-
ed.
II has often been said that few succeed
who commence business the moment they
are out OF their leading>slrings. Hope has
too great an ascendancy at that period of life,
and the youth is sanguine enough to begin
where his master left off-burdening him
self with expenses W hch new business will
not afford. The ship which sets out with
much sail and little ballast, is very like TO
be thrown on her beam ends; and as pleas
sure and extravaganza have so strong an in
fluence upon the inexperienced mind, that
industry and application, though Tho very
best friends tradesman has, are entirely lost
sight OF.
CHARACTER.--Solo tells US, that ga
good name is better than riches" and the
experience OF every day convinces us of the
truth his observation. Character is OF inf
nitely greater value than either talent or
fortune, and therefore, by young man be-
ginning the world, il ought to be preferred
above every other earthly consideration.
Should you be withou, capital, character
for honesty ,sobriety and industry, will make
you master ofanciher mans purse and mo
ney property used, IS a most productive
commodity. Should you have powerful ri.
walls in trade. character for s,eadiness and
punctuality will procure you numerous Gus
toner's in short, With character and good
management you may accomplish any thin g
without these, nothing.
Ii you are diligent and attentive TO your
business, strictly honest IN all your dealings,
pruden; aud economical aud puDctual IN your
engagements, there is no danger Of your be.
ing unsuccessful in the world You may
often hear people talk OF luck and of such a
man being fortunate, but do you act as il
there was no such thing as luck. Rely up
on il, that nine-tentbs of the men who are
called fortunate" may, with far greater
proprieiy, be called prudent.

SHEEP WoRM.-There is a f1y that
deposites its eggs in the nostrils of sheep,
usually In August and September, where
it matches, and then makes its way up
into the head and often causes death.-
The frequent application Of tar to the
nose of sheep, is considered the best
preyentive.-Putt tar on boards and
strew on salt, and the sheep will smear
their noses with tar in eating the salt
The following method is recommended
by some sheep master. Take small
log, dress it little upon the upper side,
bore holes into it with large auger at
short intervals, about two or three inches
deep, ill these holes with salt, and with
a brush apply tar as often as once week
around the holes, and give the sheep
daily access to the salt. A small quan,
fifty of tar frequently given to sheep is.
considered conducive to their health.
Alexander Reed, Esq, of Washington
90. Pa, observes, 1--WE have long been
satisfied that the use of tar as medicine
or condiment for sheep has not been duly
appreciated. The cough and foul nose,
l am disposed to think, are both pro.
duced from the same disease. When
we notice them we lose no time in re.
moving them from the flock, and make a
free use Of far.--It rarely fails to effec,
cure in few days, unless the animal
rs old or unsound. - Yankee Farmer.
