PRESS orr.

We find the following noble sentiment, the
key to fortune, in little English periodical -
The mystery ofNapoleon's career was this,
under all difficulties and discouragements TO
''press on" 1t solves the problem Of all he
roes il is the rule by which to Judge rightly
of all wonderful success and triumphal march
es to fortune and genius. Ilshoud be the mot
TO of all--high and low, fortunate and unior-
tunaie, so called--''press on" never despair,
never be discouraged however stormy the
heavens, however dark the way. however
great the difficulties, or so repeated the failure,
.'press on." Ii fortune has played false with
thee to-day do thou play true fof herlo-mouow.
Let the foolishness OF yesterday make thee
wise today.
II thy affections have been poured out like
water in the desert, do not sit down and per
ish of this but ''press on''--a beautiful oasis
is before thee, and thou mayest reach il II thou
wilt. II another has been false to thee, do not
thou increase the evil by being false TO myself
DO not say the world has lost lis poetry and
beauty; it is not so; and even II il be so,
make thine own poetry and beauty, BY brave,
true, and, above all, religious lie.

KuErxNa HOUSE.

A young married woman, who has not had
the opportunity Of proiting by the advice and
example Of good mother, will find some diff
fcully at first in spending her money TO the
best advantage; for there is really an art in
spending money, though not in getting rid of
it. Some women can keep house respectfully
and beautifully on one-thTd less money than
will be required by others, and without either
meanness or illiberal dealing. But to do this.

you how much her house keeping costs. TO a
shilling, while another cannot guess within
ten. The former has method, rule, regularity,
and certain sum assigned TO hel; with the

goes, she neither knows how nor cares. And

OLD AGE.

BE not sad because you are old. Old age
is honorable. Although the easket may grow
dim and crumble with the storms Of time, the
Jewel within win grow brighter, until II IS
transplanted to a more congenIal soil. Be
cause the frost Of age is on your brow, with
hold not your hand from useful toll, keep your
mind active and renew the days ofyour youth.
What if you are old Think not OF dying or
preparing for the grave. You have yet much
work to perform. II is no reason why you
should sill on the tomb, waiting for the angel
of death, because your locks have grown
white, and the winters Of fourscore years have
furrowed your cheeks. Up and away; be de-
termined TO live as long as you can breathe
and move We intend TO. II our life should
be prolonged 70 hundred wears, we intend to
be always acfive--alwavs busy--to retain our
Youthful spirit andlahor for the welfare ofthose
by whom we are surrounded. Then we shall
be always cheerful and happy, and always
ready to live or die

SONS OF TEMPERANCE.

Ma. GALLY's LrcruREs.--We find in the
Banner Of Temperance, Richmond, notice
Of the Annua. Sessions Of the Sous Of Tenn
perance at Charlottesville. The discussions
and proceedings occupied three days, during
which time high encouragement was afforded
to the Order.
MIR. TRonAs NJ GaLLY, OF Wheeling, was
appointed Grand Lecturer and Travelling
Deputy, with fuR power to grant Charters and
institute Divisions in any section of the State.
Ia pursuance Of his charge, Mr.. Gally will
visit the Divisions throughout the Valley du-
ring the present and coming month. During
the soiourn of Mr. GALLY in Charlottesville,
he delivered two addresses, upon the peculiar4
tiles and advantages OF the Order, aud made
very decided impression upon his auditories,
as he always does from bis peculiarly torcble
manner and extensive fund Of information
upon the subject.
The Banner, speaking Of the appointment
Of MIR. Gally TO traverse the State, and make
practical efforts for the cause, says -
ave have long been Of the opinion that no
very great advance could be made in our Or
der, unless we had champion in the field;
one who could defend US from our enemies
and advocate our claims where we are now
entire unknown The individual selected is
the very man for the woIk, and Providence
has given us his laborS just when we felt able
to make such an arrangement Our Order is
now blessed with the services of one whose
only business it is 10 dihuse the principles of
love, purity and fidelity, through every section
Of our extended Commonwealth"

HOME.

No marvel that poets have chosen home and
their native land, as grateful theme OF songs.
In themselves, the words are full Of melody
in their associations they form exquisite music.
1t is blessed thing TO have heaven Of rest
where love lights It's beacon, and keeps its
vlgils to greet the returning wanderer, weary
Of cherries pilgrimage BY flood or feld.--
God help those for whom every country wears
a foreign aspect--who avert their steps from
the dwelling of their fathers, banished BY the
clouds Of discord, or the rank weeds Of desc
latlon.

MARTINSBURG ACADEMY.

EflIE Trustees of this Institution are a, last
IL enabled 10 give some certain assurance of
the commencement of the Winter Session.
They Were unapprized of Mr. FosTERs in
tentIon TO rellnqulsh the School until late in
the vacation. They Immediately proceeded
TO open communication with gentleman
OF high reputation as a Teacher, J. WORTH
ISGToN SMITH, Esq, President of the Mason
ic College IN Missouri, and formerly of Staun-
ton. Mr.. Smiths absence from home occa-
stoned some delay in hearing from him.
They take pleasure in announcing to the
patrons of the Academy, that Mr. Smith has
accepted the situation and will leave Nilsson
ri for Martnsburg in time to commence the
Winter Session about the first of November.
The Trustees of the Martinsburg Academy
have hitherto spared no pains 10 procure gen
uemen Of the best qualifications TO preside
over the school-and Notwithstanding the
frequent changes of teachers occasioned by
circumstances beyond the control of the board,
or indeed OF the teachers themselves, the in
stitution has steadily improved for the last few
years. They believe that in their present
selection. they have not fallen behind their
former good fortune. President Smiths re-
putation is eo-extensive with the State Of Vir-
gina. as an accomplished scholar He is de-
voted to the business of teaching, and from
his high repute they have reason to hope the
Academy will attain to degree of prosperity
beyond all previous example. The health of
the place-the cheapness Of living-with the
facility Of access by the Rail Road from the
East and the Yves, point to Martinsburg, as a
fit location for thriving preparatory school.
The parents and guardians of the youths of
the neighborhood, as well as from distance,
are confidently invited to send them, now, to
this institution.
The terms Of tuition will be the same as
heretofore.
