COUNSELs FOR THE YOUNG.

Never DC cast down by trfles. If a spider
breaks his thread twenty times twenty times will
he mend 1t again. Make up your mind to do a
thing, and You will do it.. Fear not if troubles
come upon you; keep up your spirit, though the
day be a dark one.
Troubles never stop forever
! nc darkest day will pass away
! If The sun is going down, look at the stars il
INC Ell; is dark. keep your eyes on heaven!-
with s'os's presence and Gods promise, a man or
child may be cheerful.
Never despair when fog's in the air, -.
! sunshiny morning viii without w a rning.
! Mind what you run after! Never be content
with bubble that will burst, or frewo-k that
will end IN smoke and darkness. Get that which
you can keep, and that which is worth keeping.
Something sterling that will STAY,
When gold and silver fly away.
! Fight hard against hasty temper. Anger will
come, but resist it stoutly. A spark NAV set n
house on fire. fit of passion may give you cause
to mourn all the days Of your life.
He that revenges knows no rest:
The meek possess peaceful breast
IL yon have an enemy. act kindly to him. and
make him yonr friend. You NAV not win him O.
yer AT once. but try him again. Let one kindness
be followed by another, Till you have accomplished
your end. By little and little great things are
completed.
Water falling day by day,
Wears the hardest rock away
And so repeated kindness will soften heart of
store.
Whatever you do. do it willingly. A boy tina,
is whipped to school never learns his lesson well
A man that is compelled to work, cares not how
badly it is performed. He that pulls OFF his coat
cheeriuy. strips up his sleeves in earnest and
sings while he works, is the man for me.
cheerful spirit gets on quick
a grumblcr in the mud will stick
EVIL thoughts are worse enemies than lions and
tigers, for we can keep out Of the way of wild
beasts, but bad thoughts win their way every
where. The cup that is full will hold no more
Keep your head and heart full of good thoughts.
that bad thoughts may find no room to enter
BE on you, guard, and strive. and pray,
To drive all evil thoughts away.

BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE TO JOHN Quincy ADAMS
In all the eloquent tributes which the death of
this great sage and Statesman has caused to be paid
to his memory, we have seen nothing so beautiful
ly appropriate the following, from the New Or
leans Picayune:
'Ih!s is the last of EARTH am content
The old man eloquent" closed his long and e.
ventful life with, perhaps, the most eloIuent ex-
words of John Quincy Adams This is the last
OF EARTH am content" For moment, after he
was stricken in the midst Of his labors the veil was
removed from his eyes, and for the last time he
looked upon world which had filled with his
name. 1t was fading from his vision, it was rece
ding from his touch; with all its splendors with all
Its woes with lis pageants, its palaces with its
mountains and its valleys, its high places, and
splendid rewards; 1t was waning into shadows and
from shadows into nothing. He saw darkness
brocdlng over it-eniold it in eternal gloom and il:
was gone forever. IL was the last OF Earth Nor
did this great man stretch forth his hand to brush
away the thckening Gimncss from his brow mel
Their sought he 10 delan the pageant nor clunr he
to the raltnent Of fleeing nature. He was content
/ He had seen all OF earth with his own eyes, He
had seen tho joys of an innocent bOyhood, the po-
rles OF great manhood and the splendor of bril-
| liant and revered old age. And when darkness
! like curtain came down from the skies, he was
content. There was nothing left IN the fullness Of
time to tempt him to remain longer, nor anything
in eternity To make him dread going thither.
We'll may it be exclaimed, i'll contemplating
an end like this, Let nc die the death of the
righteous, and lei my last end be like his" There
was nothing in it TO appal the imagination, nothing
10 impress the mind with pain. The work of IA
ture had been performed. 1t was finished. Auc
as the aged patriot lay stark in death he was les
the captive Of the King Of Teuors, than the con
summation of sublime Providence--thc compile
tion Of an exalted destiny.

STRANeE CusToMs.-The Egyptians bad fn
neral tribunal, by which they were tried before thew
could be buried. After death, every Egyptian was
brought before this tribunal, and if convicted OF
having in his life acted unworhliy he was denied
place in the burial place Of his ancestors. This
was great disgrace to his family and. according
TO the Egyptian theology, it deprived the spirit Of
the deceased Of an entrance into heaven One Of
the things which caused the inhiction Of this mark
Of disgrace was that Of dying in debt; If, how
ever. the children friends Of the deceased should
pay his debts. as they sometimes did, he was al
lowed 10 be buried.
