YOUTHFUL PERsEvERANcK.-A lad about
Is years of age arrived in this city by the cars
night before last. His story, though brief, Is an
interesting one, and exhibits a strength Of close
c~linging affection which it is a pleasure to record.
His mother and sister left Ireland about a year
ago for America, and the boy being then u bound
apprentice, was not permitted to accompany
them, although he desired to do so. Some eight
months after their departure, the little fellow,
without a penny in his pocket, ran away from
his master, walked to Dublin city, told his story
to the Captain Of an American ship, and tear
fully solicited his aid in taking him TO his mother
The Captain told him that the United States wa
a very large country, and should he get there
he might not find the object Of his search; bul
the little "Japhet' was determined to airy" and
finally got the Captains consent TO take HIN
across the ocean in the capacity Of second cook
The vessel arrived at New York, and the 1t
tie fellow, all alone, searched the metropolis
throughout, inquiring of the Irish families the
| whereabouts Of his mother, but to no purpose
no one knew her. During this search, which
continued more than a week, the little fellow
met his current expenses by doing chores in TN
streets, such as holding horses, &c.-for a lad o
that kind could not be dishonest.
Failing in New York, he worked his passage
on a steamer to Albany reached that city, AM
worked his way to Buffalo, thence to Sandnsky
and on to Notwithstanding a journey, in al
of about four thousand miles in search Of hi
mother Upon bis arrival here, he immediatel.
sought out the Irish residents, and, for the frs
time, heard of the object of his long and singula
pilgrimage. He learned that his mother an.
sister had lived in Cincinnati, but about a mont
since had removed to Vancebmgh, Ky. Tn
little 'Japhet," in the fullness Of his Joy, was de
termined that an hour should not be lost, AM
went to Capt Grace, Of the Brilliant, yesterday
and told bis story. The Captain took him o.
comfortably for the passage, and doubtless or
this, the little fellow Is in the arms Of the love
ones of his search.

exercise must, Of course, vary with the age,

the degree Of exercise that is in most cases

a day is the minimum distance which a per-
son Of moderate health and strength ought

GENTLE MANNERs.-There is no rule o.
action in the domestic circle, which carries
with it so much permanent good, on the
part of the heads Of a family, as a uniform
and gentle disposition-a quiet evenness of
manners. The tendency Of a boisterous
intercourse among a family Of little ones, is
to render the younger portion of the house,
hold petulant, ffacGous, and unsovernable (;
and its serious effects in the future cannot
be calculated. An irritable temper is most
unfortunate in the midst Of domestic rela-
tons, and is productive Of immense evils,
present and prospective. :.
The ancient adage, "as the old cock
crows the young one learns" is a forclble
truth in this connection, and how often
may we see il illustrated An exchange
states huthfuily, that the old men who sput.
ter and growl around their homes, are sure
TO be initiated faithfully by the little watch.
ers for paternal squalls, and a nest OF hor'
nets is made where peace and harmony
alone should prevail. The fractions mar

and kept by force from spreading his conia
gion. What right has a man to poison thu
happiness, any more than the food of hi
family?
The text might be made to apply TO al
the relations Of life where misery is c%ultiva
ted, and growing is made the order of tn
day. There are communities and parties
where the old saw about dogs with SORE

their condition of mipd.-We need 4 soci
ely for the promotion Of good nature, NOR

A SUBLIME TRurB.-Let a man have all
the world can give him, he is still miserable
if he has a grovelling, unlettered, undevout
mind. Let him have his gardens, his fields,
his woods, his lawns. for grandeur, plenty,
ornament, and qualification ; while at the
same time God IS not in all his thoughts
and lie, another have neither field or garden;
let him only look at nature with an enllght-
ened mind-a mind which can see and
adore the Creator IN his works, can consid-
er them as demonstrations of His power. His
wisdom, His goodness, and he is far happier
ia his poverty, than the other IN his riches
The one is liule higher than a beast, the

GosPRL CoNsoLATIoN.--lt is a wonder

divine origin, that it adapts itself TO all the
circumstances Of our being, SO that, IN
whatever condition we are placed, we Ind
something written, as it were, expressly for
US in that condition. Emphatically is this
true Of the Affections Of life. There is a
remarkable adaptation in the Gospel TO
these, in all their variety. The sick, the
bereayed. the poor, the forsaken, the wild
gled out for advice, and comfort, and sup
port. There are promises, Exceeding great
and precious" the full import OF which we
cannot know, ill we are in circumstances
which they were designed 10 meet there
are offers of grace, the magnitude Of which
we cannot realize, till we are in the state
Of those TO whom they are addressed. IL
seems as If so much Of the Bible is written
for the afflicted, thai one can know but lit
tie OF its precious contents until he is ahllct-
ed. So many of its promises are made to
those in trouble, tina. the believer scarce
knows half Of his inheritance until trouble
comes upon him. The Gospel abounds in
consolation. II spaeks peace 10 the lrou'
