THE GLORY OF YOUNG MEN.

(Continued)
The glory Of young men is their sIrength.--Soi.
w,hou, stopping to dwell longer on the in
consisiencies which mar the beauty OF youth,
let US proceed now to the consideration Of a
few cf,he moral traits, which, have said, are
necessary TO accompany those OF natural
kind that have already been spoken a. These
are necessary to be possessed IN order TO pro-

alton Of the mind to resist temptation. We
need not speak here Of their exposure TO tempt

things are well understood. and all tina, seems
requisite now, is merely TO refer TO The fact
for the purpose Of saying word on the imPOl.
lance Of possessing principle which VIII en-
able one to resist when thus iried. Solomon
has given an exor'auon here which is just in

he mean by this. but that we should have al
all times a sxed principle Of determined resis-
lance 10 every person. and TO every thing tha,
would seek TO torn US aside from the paths Of
virtue 10 this exposure to temptation, and
ia their proneness TO yield, lies the great dan

alluremsals Of vice. they have not resolution

show themselves extremely weak. Instead Of

GRAVE QussrIoS.--Twen,y five years ago.
when the project Of eoloniziug Africa with
our free colored population as an outlet TO our
slavery. was conceived, the projectors aatered
themselves that il would result ia the eifeeiual
removal Of slavery from the lInitej Staies-
Since the lands occupied by the present colo
risis were purchased, no, more than 5000
colorod people have been removed TO them
from the United States. And The average an.
noaIino'ease OF colored population ia the Uni.
iet States. during twenty Eve years. has prob
ably exceeded $4,000. giving an aggregate in.

tory of the United States. a more satisfactory
answer to this question is given. In 1920. a
few eolonists landed At Plymouth. A few
years afterwards. after two expeditions had

ANOTHER New ISvENT1oS.-Tbe

count Of an invention, which if suc.
ccssiul,-is likely TO be a formidable
competitor to Mr.. Morse's magnetic
telegraph:
We we're highly entertained YES.
terday afternoon by an exhibition of
an invention for transmitting substances
through tubes or pipes, with great W.
locity. 1t is the purpose of this inven.
ton to transmit letters and packages
any distance which may be desired.
with the rapidity almost of lightning
The process by which this is accom-.
plished is very simple, consisting mere.
ly of an air-chest, which is charged
with air by a force pump contiguous to
the chest. When the chest is sufficient.
ly charged with air, the letter or pack.
age is placed in the feeder, and is i'm.
mcdiately discharged through the pipe
with great velocity, and perfect safety.
Col. Reed, the inventor. is of opinion
that an outlay of 100000 void insure
the transmission of letters and packa.
