Determination.

We never knew man who determined
to be something, who did not prosper in
whatever he engaged. Those who feel the
almost omnipotent power within them, and
act as ifthey felt il, never stop by the way
never linger to doubt in fear and dismay.
With an energy that knows no abatement,
and zeal which nothing can quench, they
push on and up until they see the full ac-
complishment Of their hopes. There are
many minds, equally as gifted as Newton's,
or Locke's, or Frankln's, but they neglect
the means 10 bring out their powers; are TO
lazy to exert themselves, and therefore die,
benefitting the world as little as the brute.
There is every thing to encourage young
men to be sudious, industrious, energetic,
and perseyering. The world Us before you
There is much to do for YOURSELF and 9th

| Upward and onward would be the march o

said Oliver Cromwell TO young Lely. Ifyou
leave out the scars and wrinkles, will not

sense and his magnanimity. He did not

James the First. He was content that his
face should go forth marked with all the

Do you want good husbands? Then
cease 10 act like fools Who that possesses
common sense, will be seen with female
who takes pride in saying she never does
housework, and cannot bear the sight Of
mechanic? So long as you turn up your
noses at honest industry, aud take particu-
lar pains TO tell your friends that you are
not obliged TO work, and know nothing about
the kitchen, you will be Stunned by the best
portion ofyoung men, who win esteem il as
privilege TO have you pass them without
uttering word, Your company may be
couried-but by whoml The well-fed and
well-dressed pauper and feathered fop--and
by them alone. Cease, then, girls, TO make
fools Of yourselves Work more and CAB
less. Read and study during your leisure
hours, and not labor to improve upon ma

The Unbidden Preacher.
From the Cincinnati Atlas.

The story which follows, we do not recol-
lect TO have seen in print, though there is no
doubt Of its truth 1t is too good TO be lost.
The principal actor is now living and holds
high rank in the church to which he be-
longs; maugre the vagaries of his youth
One Sunday morning as the congregation
Of -- church, Charleston, had nearly
all assembled for worship, aud the worthy
Pastor was about to commence the services
Ia fine looking young man, dressed in a
full suit Of sables, walked up the isle--pass-
ed the doors that we're flung open for him
entered the pulpit, and nodding familiarly TO
the minister, said-"I will preach for you
this morning, SIR" Then turning 10 the
congregation, raised his hands and said, let
us pray
The Pastor was astonished at this uncere-
monious procedure, as the young man was
an entire stranger to him; but he bore evil
dent marks Of being clergyman and was o.
pening with fervent and imprisoned pray
err clothed in the most elegant language, he
thought he would let him proceed.
The prayer was ended, the stranger went
on to the other parts of the service as if he
was perfectly at home.
The service being ended he opened the
Bible and preachad a most eloquent anc
moving discourse from the text was ;
stranger and ye took me in He painted il
glorious language the duty of christians
especially towards strangers, for in thai
guise angels had been entertained aforetime
But above all he tried to impress upon his
hearers the duty of christian charity.-Thert
was scarcely dry eye in the house, and ev
cry body was on tiptoe to know who ant
what the stranger was. When he had fin
ished his discourse, he looked slowly rount
him for moment, as if to note the effect HI
had produced.-Then leaning forward in al
earnest manner, he exclaimed in deeI
measured tone
"Peter, Peter, Pumpkin Eater,
4 Had wife, and couldn't keep her
Put her in pumpkin shell,
And there he kept her very WE'LL"
Turning to the clergyman, he bowed 20
litely-bade him good morning, aud left thu
church before the congregation had time 4
