Be ESoMETHrNs.--.The following brief. but sens-
BILE article, which we copy from an English paper,
contains excellent advice. We commend il in
an especial manner to the attention of parents and
guardians. 1~
1T is the duty Of every one to take some active
part as an actor on the stage of life. Some seem
10 think that thew can vegetate, as it were, with
out being any thing in particular. Man is not
made to rust out his life. Itisexpected he should
q act we'll his part.' He must be something. He
has work to perform, which ii is his duty to at
tend to. We are not placed here to grow up, pass
the various stages Of life, and then die without
having done any thing for the benefit Of our race.
1t is principle in the creed Of the Mohomedans
that every one should have trade. No Christian
doctrine could he better than that. Is man to he
brought up in idleness! Is he to live upon the
wealth which his ancestors have acquired by
frugal industry? Is he placed here to pass
through life like an automaton1 Has he no hing
10 perform rs citizen Of the word9 A man who
does nothing is a mere cipher. He does not fulfil
the obligations for which he was sent into the
world; nnd when he dies he has not finished the
work that was given him to do. He is mere
blank in creation. Some are born with richesand
honors upon tn cir heads-but does it follow that
they have nothing to do in their through life
There are certain duties for every one to perform.
Be something; don't live like hermit, and die
unregretted."

DON'T DROWN YOURSELF FOR LOVE.

DON'T DROWN YOURSELF FOR LOVE-
The following, illustrative Of sympathy, is from
the pen of Bishop Heber:-
A knight and lady once met in grove,
While each was in quest of fugitive love;
a river ran mournfuliy murmuring BY,
And they wept in It's waters for sympathy.
I" Oh never was knight such sorrow that bore %
''Oh never was made so deserted before!,' o
"From life and its woes let us Instantly fly,
And jump in together for companyw
They searched for an eddy that suited the deed,
But here was brnmhc and there was weed;
SHOW tresome it isl" said the fair, with sigh;
Sothey sat down to rest them in company.
They gaz'd on each other, the maid and knight;
How fair was her form, and how goodly his height!
'One mournful embrace y sobbed the youth, 'ere We
30 kissing and crying kept company! [diep
t'Oh had ! but lov'd such an angel as you!'
"Oh, had but my swain been quarter as truem
ITO miss such perfection how blinded was !"
Sure now they were excellent company"
At length spoke the lass, 'twixt smile and tear,
"The weather is cold for watery bier;
When summer returns we may easily die
Till then let us sorrow in company9'

Around its scorching path. a1af

designed TO afford. To firmly support tbs

the National Finance question in way that
shall prevent the public moneys from becom

menis of the principles of Liberty and Equar
lily, and TO give 10 the State sound cur

dersigned propose TO themselves in the new
and arduous position which they have as
sumed. Their success must depend upon
The amount and the character of The support

is SO important, and whose example, in the

demanding 10 be admitted to the rights and
privileges enjoyed by the members Of the
confederacy. ~
The undersigned have invested large
amount of capital in their present undertaking.
They have brought TO its support, whatever
of talent and enterprise they possess. Their
interest is identical with that of the West;
and there is no incentive to exertion--no
motive which can incte men 10 faithful
discharge of important duties--which is net
moving them to labor for The good Of that
portion of the confederacy into whose hands
The physical and moral powers Of the nation
are rapidly passing. Under these circum-
stances, they feel that they are privileged to
ask for that support and 10 look for that con-
6dence from the Democracy of Ohio, without
which all their labors must be worse than
performed in vain.
The undersigned propose making some
mechanical Improvements in the paper, which
will render it more worthy the support of the
public. A fair proportion of the paper will
be devoted 10 miscellaneous reading and
news matter.
