TO THE YOUNG OF BOTH SEXES.

1t is of great Importance that persons in
early life should prepare themselves for the
part they are to act in society. There is
a strong desire in both sexes to rise to
responsibility, and this is highly commend
able but many persons err in their attempt
to gain their object.
A principle cause of the failure of Young
people to reach the object of their desire,
is, the attempt to get rich ,cuhom labor.
In this way, they often aim at an object
without the means to accomplish it. Thus,
for many years past, young men have en-
tered on business with borrowed capital,
to an extent never before known; they
have calculated on profits which are pre-
carious; they have neglected to calculate
the chances of sudden declensions in bust
ness; they have entered upon housekeep-
ing with extravagant purchases of furni-
ture; they have already failed, and re-
duced themselves and families to poverty.
The failures and the distress which have
occurred in this country within few years
exceed every thing probably that ever be-
fore happened.
Young friends, learn wisdom. 1t is not
the order of Providence that mankind
should have blessings and prosperity with
out labor. 1t is best for mankind that this
should be the order Of things; good moral
habits are formed by industry sudden
acquisitions Of property tend to prevent
the formation of such habits; they arc
often ruinous to such morals. Moderate
acquisitions of property generate good
habits--the habits of prudence, of fore
sight and correct calculations Of what is
practicable.
The desire of reaching respectable
standing in life has led many to renounce
labor for books, with the expectation that
they can live by learning. But the number
of persons who can gain subsistence by
learning is comparatively small. The pro-
LESSONS are full to overlooking; unless that
of the gospel ministry can be excepted By
far the greatest part of mankind are des-
.ined to labor, without which society can
not be supported.
IN forming plan of business for life,
therefore, the first requisite is to determine
the course to be pursued, the occupation
which is to be followed, and then to de-
vote all possible attention to gain the quail
cations essential to succeed in thai occapa-
lion. In this preliminary TO success, per-
sons very often make great mistakes.
# young man is to be farmer, he
must begin when boy and continue in
that business. He must gain knowledge
by experience, and muscular strength by
labor. Books and learning will never make
farmers.
If man is to be a mechanic, he must
begin his art when young. and persevorc in

THE LEGACY OF VAN BuRENlsM.


Our leading friends on one side and our op.
ponents on the other have made efforts, the one
to expose, and the other to conceal the actual
amount Of real debt which the present expiring
dynasty will bequeath TO the nation, and to the
next Administration Of its affairs. These efforts
on both sides have been more or less successful
though we are Of opinion that more evidences OF
debt have leaked out than the present Admins.
tratIon desired should come to the public eye.
For our own part, we are confident in the
opinion that, Mr.. Van Buren, will leave a bone
ide debt OF his own creation, or that OF his friends
Of more than forty millions Of dollars, 10 be

SQUEEZING THE HAND.

Squeezing the hand with some persons is
entirely equiv alent to a declaration of love ;
this is truly surprising. We must take hold
of lady's hand as we should hot potatoe;
afraid to give it a squeeze lest we should
burn our fingers. Very fine, truly Now
it was our ancient custom to squeeze every
hand we got in our clutches, especially fair
one and the ladies may rest assured of this,
that man who will not squeeze their hand
when he gets hold of it, does not deserve to
have such hand in his possession; and that
he has heart one hundred times smaller
than the eye of a cambria needle.
