The following is from the excelen: cili-
zen, now no more, Motthe,o Carey. If he
had left nothing behind save this advice to
young men. it would have immorlalzed
him:
Adrice to Young .Men.-Shun the despi-
cable character OF a political brawle,. But
let nothing except being bedridden, prevent
you from exercising that nestimable privi-
lege, the elective franchise. Never dis
grace yourself by an absence from the polls,
under the unjuslifiable, fallacious plea, that
your single vote is of no consequence. -
Some of the most important measures of
legislative bodies, here and elsewhere, have
been carried by majorues Of one, two or
three.
The vote on the abdcation of James H.,
and the elevation of William and Mary to
the throne of Great Britain was carried by
a majority of two-5l to 49,. Let this be
an unceasing warning 10 you Of the impor.
tance of vote or two. Never have to re-
proach yourself, that profigale man has
been elected or bad measure adopted,
through your absence from this sacred duty

THE TREspAssERs. The Van Buren,
editors of this State, are little too fast in
declaiming about the granting of permits
by Massachusetts to cut timber on the
lands of that State on the Aroostook. 1t
does not appear that Gov. Everett has re-
fused to cooperate with this State, but on
the contrary has expressed his readiness to
suspend the issuing Of permits as far as
possible. The lately published letter Of
the Governor of Maine threatening to COM
pei Massac cAusetts to stop cutting her own
timber, was not only uncalled for but
very doubtful assumption of authority over
the property of a neighborng State.
The Saco Democrat says-"We are
gratifed to learn that Gov. Everett of
NJ Massachusetts, has assured Gov. Fairfield
that he will prevent as much as possible
the granting of permits under the author-
tv of Massachusetts, to cut timber upon the
disputed territory.-This will prevent a re-
cource ofthe difficulties which have grown
out of this practice, and cut off a large por-
ton Of the trespassing, which was carried
on under forged permits from Massachu-
sets to cut timber. " 5a

Useless Ornaments. The New Orleans
Picayune has the following sensible touch
at the cockney taste, or rather want Of taste.
which induces some people to load them
selves with gimcrack ornaments 1t SAYS;
eve have about as high an opinion of

beads around her neck, or the good sense
of an African who snspends brass rings from
his nasa organ, as we have Of the brainess
fop VINO voluntarily enters the chain gang,
an1 encumbers his person with baubes.--
Does chain of gold, or one of diamonds,
give brilliancy to the eye? Does broach
of stained glass, the size ofa carriage win
dow, even though it be cornealian, add a
tint 10 a blush of the check? Or do the
massive rings make the fingers more taper
ing? The custom of wearing siipcrflni-
ty of such gewgaw trirkets is abominable,
and display anything but good taste, par
'icularIy Republican taste He who is a
slave oft by-4 inch breast pins, watch
chains like the tiler rope Of Mississippi

of the necessary weight of brans-a man

MlSCELLAhE
RULES FOR GENTLEMEN.

1. Marry not a coquette: though the
Leopard may change his spots and the E.
theopian his skin she cannot change her
habits
9. Marry not woman who has such re-
spect for the morning sun, as to allow him
the precedence OF an hour or two in rising.
Consequence-you must prepare your own
breakfast; and perhaps eat it alone.
9. Marry not critic. If you do, you
will have the modification to find, that you
have lost the faculty to do any thing right.
4. Marry not a beauty; for as woman
kind like mankind, never excel, but in Que
point, she will neglect every thing else but
her person; and her mind will be a waste
garden where the rankest and most un-
slightly of weeds will riot without molesta-
ton.
5. Marry not misanthrope. The val
leys will be too deep; the hills too high; !;
and the plains too level. The house will
be too large, end the rooms too small; and
if you be not an uncommon man, you will
seek an apartment and companions more
pleasant at the tavern. She will mingle
gall and bitterness in every drop of the cup
of thy life.
6. Marry not an arstocrat: she will
make herself and thee fools in the eyes of
the sensible and good, and clothe thy back
with rags.
7. Marry not belle: unless you are
fond of noise not always the most musical.

ssWhen die, wish you to take me to my
own pure salt sea, and bury me; where have
beapoken the seaweed for my winding sheet,
the coral for my coffin, and the sea shell for
my tomb stone. ~ Rev. E. I. Taylor.
Bury me not where I shall be
A feast for the reptiles gluttony.
And the greedy worms in their reyclry
My flesh consume;
For when the gem shall be taken away,
To enrich the crown of a brighter day,
do not wish the casket to lay
In the cold tomb.
When my eyes their vigils shall cease to keeI
And my heart ishushed in its last, long sleep
Oh! carry me to the unfathomed deep
Of my loved sea;
Let my body lie in its hidden caves,
Beneath the dark pail Of its briny waves,
Where many gentle mermaid layes,
Oh, bury me.
The sea-weed shall be my winding sheet,
And the coral shall be coffin in meet;
The beautiful shells shall my form secrete,
And the swelling surge
As it dashes proudly towards the shore,
With the solemn music Of its roar,
On the wings OF the whistling winds shall poul
My wild, sad dirge.
