Value Of Character to Young men.-- No young
man who has just sense of his own value, will
sport with his own character. A watchful re-
conceivable value to him in all the remaining
years of life When tempted to devate from
strict department, he should ask himself, can
afford this? Can [ endure hereafter to look
back upon this?
1t is Of amazing worth to It young man TO
have a pure mind, for this is the foundation of
character The mind in order to be kept pure,
must be employ ed on topics of thought which
are themselves lovely, chastened, and elevating.
Thus tho mind hath in its power the election
of its themes OF meditation. If youth only knew
how durable and how dismal is the injury pro-
duced by the indulgence of degrading thoughts;
if they only realized how frightfu were the NOR
al detormities which a cherished habit OF loose
Imagination produces on the soul-they would
shun them as the bite of serpent. The power
OF books to excite the Imagination, is fearful
element of moral death, when employed in a
service of vice.
The cultivation of an amiable, elevated and
glowing heart alive to all the beauties Of nature
and all the sublimties of truth, invigorates the
intellect gives to the will independence ofbaser
passions, and to the affection, that power of adj
heson, to whatever is pure, and good, and grand,
which is adapted to lead out the whole nature
of man into those scenes OF action and impress

ely employed, and by which its high destina-

MY NATIVE HILLS

M ~ n L Il IL IL Lo
On! give me back my native hills,
Rough, rugged though they be-
No other CLINE, no other land,
Is half so dear to me.
The sun is bright, the world looks fair,
And friends surround me here;
But memory, clouding DER the scene,
Gives home its tribute tear.
True, there are moments when the heart
Reflects surrounding light,
When stranger smiles can kindle love,
And stranger hearth burn bright
Yet, oh! they but call memory back,
AS meteor-lke they glide,
To tell how kind our early friends
How sweet our own Preside.
New Eng aud-dear to me thy soil
Wherever may roam.
With lofty pride, with cherished love,
I'll think of thee, my home.
For, rooted in the rock bound shore,
The noblest virtues grow;
And beauty's choicest flowers are cuIled
From out thy highland snow.
Then give me back my native hills;
Rough, rugged though they be:
No other cline, no other land,
Is half so dear to me.
Affections ties around my home
Like ivy .tendrils Irvine;
My love, my blessings, and my prayers,
New England, al are thine.
