in their cellars, which were melted into
two solid masses of iron, from 9 to 30
inches thick, weighing from IS to 80

dug graves for them in the cellar, be-

A WORD 10 YOUNG MEN.

Wishing and sghing, and imagining, and
dreaming of greatness, said William Writ, will
not make you great. But cannot young man
command his energies? Read Foster on deci-
sion of character. That book will tell you what
is in your power to accomplish. You must grid
ND your loins and go to work with all the indom-
liable energy Of Hannibal scaling the Alps. II
is your duty to make the most of time, talents,
and opportunities.
Alfred, King Of England. though he perform
ed more business than any one Of his subjects,
found time to study.
Franklin, in. the midst of his labors, foand
time to dive into the depths Of philosophy, and
explored an untrodden path of science.
Frederick the Great, with an empire at his
direction, in the midst of war, and on the eve Of
hattie. found time to revel in the charms of phi
losophy, and feast on the luxuries of science
Napoleon, with Europe at his disposal, with
kings at his ante-chafnber, and at the head oi
thousands of men, whose destinies were sus-
epended OH his arbitrary pleasure, found time to
converse with books. II.
And young men who are confined to labor OF
business even twelve hours day, may take an
hour and half of what is left for study, and
which will amount to two months in the course
of a year. lS

THE REALLY RICH.

There is no greater falIacy than the suppo-
stion that opulence consists in the enjoyments
of large income. The man whose expendi-
ture equals his income is in reality poor man,
whatever position he may occupy in the eye of
the world while person moving in far
lower sphere may in truth be wealthy, if his
income be more than proporIionate to his pre-
tensions. There is no species of poverty more
urgent, or distressing, than that which seeks its
concealment in the display of opulence; nor is
there any which throws SO many temptations
in the way of honesty. The riches rejected
by the virtuous poverty Of the ancient Greeks
and Romans would have bought half the golden
satraps Of the East, and it will generally be
profigate. Riches have little allurement to
those who have no expensive tastes or habits
to graiify-wbo have felt the joys of temper
ance and the consultations of integrity. How
ever limited our mears may be, we shall be

Mr.. H. II. DENIsoN. who has heretofore had
charge Of the editorial department of the Organ,
concludes his valedictory with the following
whole-soued paragraph:
Il .sAlthough no longer acting in this particular
sphere, | shall continue to devote as much of
my time and humble abilities as consistently
can, to the promotion of the temperance cause.
With single exception, it is, in my opinion,
the highest, noblest, and most truly honorable
work n which man can engage; land humbly
trust shall never lose any part Of the too little
Interest now feel in it until the whole human
family shall have been freed from the dreadful
slavery under which a great portion of them
are now so keenIy suffering"
AT the late session Of the Legislature of the
State Of New York, an act was passed, giving
power to the majority Of citizens of each county,
to decide whether licenses to sell ardent spirits
should be granted or not. The following three
decisions we copy from the New York Organ:
AT the charter election recently held in the
village Of GIen's Falls, the license ticket pre-
vailed by a large majority.
Il The Excise Committee Of the city Of Rooh-
ester, have made a report, which has been
accepted, z in favor Of restricting licenses to
wholesale dealers, and to as many taverns
as the wants Of the travelling public may
require" Better take shsrt steps forward,
than stand still, OF, advance backwards.
The town of Hambureh, Erie county, has
resolved, by the unanimous vote of the Board
of Excise. to grant no licenses to vend "rum
and ruin,' for one year. It should have been,
" henceforth, for all future time to come-fo

M 1RRIAGEs IN CHNA.-In China, children,
are often affianced in early infancyJ and even
befoF they are born The will Of the future
spouie is rarely consulted. Tbese, alliances
are Very difficult to break, especially if the re-
Gues comes from the females The civil au
thoriB compels them, willing sor unwilling, to
marT those to whom their parents promised
them AS several years telapse between the
first Engagement and etne marriage, it some
times happens that the boy dies. If the girl
then letlafe that she adheres to her first en-
gageshent, and will not contract another, she
has right on making this declaration before
the proper tribunal, to receive certain amount
of money, fixed by law. She may appropriate
this money to her own use, or expend it in
building monument, which will be perpetu-
al testimony of her resolution. 1t is kind of
marriage with the shade of the dead. In the
Kiang- Nan, these monuments are often seen
along the great canals, the public roads, and
sometimes before the doors of houses. The
most conspicuous or most frequented places are
always chosen for their erection. These monu-
ments are in the form Of gate yays. THEY con-
sist of two large stones, placed erect at a GER
tain distance from each other, on which a third
is laid horizontally, on which is engraved the
name of the person in honor of whom it is
erected All these stones are more or less
adorned with sculpture, but the last is loaded
with ornaments.

DIscRAcEFuL-At a meeting held in Bur-

ger, an old man present arose and gave the
following incident, as the reason why he should
sign pledge: g Last winter Twas called upon
by Coroner's jury, in the case Of man who
was found dead in the woods. He, doubtless,
had been intoxicated, and in that condition had
lost his way, and frozen to death. A flask, partly
filed with whiskey. was in his pocket. Five
Of the Jury OF Inquest drank the contents OF
the bottle, which was taken from the dead
mans pocket" 4Es

duties imposed by the public will. II Is not
their right to Judge whether laws are whole-
some or otherwise. Other tribunals deter
mine this question for them; and it is their
solemn and imperative duy, so see that the
laws are faithfully executed. Their duty may
be frequently extremely painful; but the Ex-
ecutlve officer, bound generally by the solem-
mites OF an oath, should not permit either his
personal feelings, or his personal interests, to
turn him aside from the performance Of duty,
however painful. If the weak, the timid, the
time-servlng. are ever found occupying such
positions, let the people themselves, by early,
fair, and constitutional means, apply the proper
corrective, and supply their places with the
honest-lhe tearless-the patriotic. It's no
time to blink this question. 1t is one which
points TO great and increasing evil, and the
remedy cannot be too early applied We are
the advocates Of law. We are of the number
of those who have no objections TO be sAgovern
ed,' constitutionally and properly. And we
have the right to expect that the laws shall
be faithfully enforced. Without looking beyond
the limits Of our own city, is it not true that
we have abundance of law to restrain the
vicious, to correct existing abuses, and to pro-
mote the best interests of the community I?
Why is it, then, in regard to some Of them,
that they are violated in the most open and
undisguised manner, and no attempt made to
enforce the prescribed penalties? We have
our eye, at this moment, on several ordinances
Of this character, salutary and beneficial in a
high degree-with a large majority Of the
people in their favor-which are almost en-
tirely overlooked, in regard to their execution.
We invite, most respectfully, the Chief Execu-
tive of our city, for whom we entertain very
high respect, TO turn his attention to this sub
ject, and to require from all his subordinates,
the faithful and fearless execution Of existing
laws. Let every man be taught to feel, that
our laws are not designed as mere bug bears
to frighten children but, founded in the best
principles of social order and happiness, are to
be obeyed, in all their provisions, until public
sentiment, fully and fairly expressed, shall
require their repeal. No inequality, in this
respect, should be permitted to exist. With
prompt and fearless hands, let those who are
charged with their execution, maintain the
supremacy Of the law, and public order, virtue,
and happiness will be promoted.
& Hereafter, we may take occasion to refer
more particularly to some of these laws, and
y + y
to urge, in a more special manner, their due
execution. We cannot, in view of the posi-
tion we occupy, and our just regard for the
welfare Of society, consent 10 be.silent, when
its best interests are at stake.
