BRIGHT EXAMPLE TO YOUTH.

| .'RiCHT ABOUT FAcE.-Mr Delavan Of
Albany, who has devoted money and talent
for the promotion Of Temperance, and who
has done as much as any other individl al in
America in giving dignity and importance to
tins noble enterprise, was, in his youth, one
OF club of fIfty, who were in the hal,it Of
meeting at room in public house to enjoy
themselves in 'Ihe feast of reason md the
flow of soul" Ii was not long, how ever,
before MIR. Delavan was led to serious rcfiec-
ton upon the folly and danger of The prac-
tIce, tIll on a certain evening, while uc his
way To the club, he suddenly stopped and
exclaimed aloud; RIGHT ABOUT FACET Aud
he did right about face: and, said he. 10 H..
gentleman to whom he related the circuui-
stance, "Ihe first block of buildings | ever
erected in Albany was erected on the corner
directly in front Of where formed that res
oution."
We have copied the above from the Bos-
ton Temperance Journal; which also SAYS,
in reference to those fifty young meu,-Forty
three Of them became druRkdrds, and most Of
them found u drua+ards death :"
And now, what if Mr.. Delavan had not
made the noble resolve and adhered TO it +!
hat II he had not maniully resisted those
fashionable allursmcnfs aud changed his
course! What might have been his char
Scter what his influence in socicty-aud
what his prospects for the coming world
Apart from all pecuniary considerations,
what youth would exchange the intellec-
tual and moral worth, and the gratitude aud
esteem OF the community, and of the Teu-
perance world, now enjoyed by this distn-
2uished phiant hrorlst, for oil ih~ RI
or SVn'I'lal intercourse, enjoyed By all HE
mere yotaries Of fashion or ambition, from
the fatal banquet Of Alexander the Great
down 10 the present moment!
Let every thouehtess young man now
make the estimate Jet him carefully count
the cost of mere idle fashionable intercourse,
the vase Of precious time. the waste of
health, and the loss of talent. character, rop-
erty aHI soul which it often involves-lct

by others, is within his reach also let him
think of the of the high destiny TO " hich

vitng him,-and then let him decide. " helhcr
it is not now time for him TO say, like Mr..
Delavan, "RIGHr ABOUT FACE"
True, in this age of reform, he may be in
no such imminent danger from the intoxica-
TING cup. But there are other dvstroyers
equally insidious. There are other infu-
euces, that may ron him of his time, tho
most precious Of all taents,-rob of his con-
science, his sense of accountability, and his
seIi.respcct, as an immortal being ,-and thus
rob him. ere he is aware, of his birthright for

Ihey cannot be pleased with GHy thing short
OF unlimited Indulgence to sell and drink. And
even II theCommissoners should rescind the
rule which requires an account of the sales TO
be kePt,these men would Immediately say that
1t was done to screen professed temperance
men, wanting to purchase for beverage, and
unwilling that the means of detecting them,
should be furnished by Il record of sales.
Ii will always be more or less difficult to get
everything just right nPon the first trial of an
experiment. We must expect that the men
who have long been laIening upon the mise
rIes OF drinkers and their families, as well as
the drinkers themselves, will complain at ev-
cry thing done under the existing law. But
II Is to be hoped. that the friends of Temper
'nce will have PATIENCE, try to make the best

For the Gdidry

AIlusion being made, in MIR. Rich's COM
munication last week, 10 the rule adopted by
the Commissioners requiring the person IL
censed TO sell for medicine to take the names
of The purchasers, desire permission to say
a word on the subject. The law requires
THAT report should be made by persons thus
licensed, to the Commissioners, who are au-
thorized to take away the license if it shall
have been abused One of the means for ell
abling them 10 determine whether the terms
of the License have been violaied,is an ;nspec-
ton of the names of persons TO whom sales
have been made, witt the quantities sold TO
them. 1t would indeed be very difficult for
the Commissioners to determine whether the
sales had been improperly made without such
inspection. 1t was for that reason suppose,
; that the Commissioners in Washington
County, where general licenses are allowed,
adopted the rule requiring those licensed TO
sell for medicine to keep list Of the names,
as in this County; and DO not learn that in
Washington County there is any complaint.
Aud Why should there be any complaint
Who that really wants intoxicating liquors for
a medicine, would be unwilling to have his
name takenl Real innocence never covets
coucealment, but delights in openness and
frankness And even if there were some
thing unpleasant in having ones name taken,
would not friend Of temperance be willing
TO bear il for the sake Of maintaining rule so
necessary, in order to prevent sales TO tOpers

a protection to ;he temperance man who re-
ally purchases for medicine, since he may be
accused Of purchasing for a beverage. and
mic ht find his best defence in the record show
ing what he had purchased. 1t must be OBJ
vIous to every one, that it may often be quite
necessary for the seller to take the name Of a
purchaser, in order to determine, upon enqui-
~ whether he is an habitual drlnker, and has
represented his want OF the liquor for a med
icine, to deceive the seller, for he must some
times take the word of the purchaser as to
the intended use of the liquor, especially when

A WHISTLING YANKEE.
GUS.

Some years since, Yankee from the
land OF motions, travelling westward,
found himself minus of cash, after his arri-
val at the fiourishing and beautiful village
of gainesville, Ohio. But Yankees are
proverbial for tact, and can turn their wits
many ways, to supply the needful. So
cur Yankee traveller being keen at whist
ling, perambulated the village, with his
hands stuck in his empty pockets, whist
ling variety of national airs, much to the
amusement of all. Seeing that his en-
ployment took with the multitude, he set
himself up as a teacher of the Science of
Whistling, and reasoned very gravely, that
rs mnltitudes would whistle, it would be
well for them to learn the science, rightly
Judging, that what ought to be done at all,
should be done WE'LL. e. upon scientific
principles. He believes that there were
far less persons who could learn this sci
cnce, than was generally supposed-that
there WAS no reason why the female sex,
with acknowledged better voices than
males, should be denied the privilege OF
whstling; and descanted largely upon the
vantage to be derived from a thorough
knowledge of the science. In short,
school was started at once, and many
Young limb of the law, medical students
and clerks, with their ladies, were subscri-
bers. The price was fixed at fifty cents
per couple, and always paid in advance,
by which our Yankee friend well spllced
his pockets
The evening for the first lesson arrived
and with it a goody number of gents
and ladies', at a Hotel, waiting the promis-
ed instruction. The preliminary observa-
ton was made, that no one would be as
sared of any improvement, without they
carried out the precise instructions and
Dbeved the commands of the teacher.
All were standing upon the floor upon
the tiptoe of expectation, when our Yam
kee gave forth his first command with
great gravity PREPARE TO PUCK
ERw All anticipated the next command.
FUCKER l"-and instantly a roar of
laughter shook the house to its foundation
1t is unnecessary to say that the next
day our Yankee traveller was seen wend-
ing his way westward, with full pockets,
and whistling many merry tune while
those who had taken their first lesson in
the science of whistling, were hailed at
every turn of the street, with the by-words
