If we add to the above the numbered mil
lions of the ancient nations of America. who
fell in battle, the bloody catalogue will be
sweled to nearly double the foregoing esti-
mate. Two of the most numerous and pow
erful nations of the earth were blotted en-
arasse from the page of existence by war
he history of Ancient America, first pub
lished in the year 1880, shows that the same
spirit of bloody ambition universally swayed
its terrific sceptre over both hemispheres of
our globe. War, that fatal curse of fallen
beings, has not yet ended its ravages. Not
many years hence it will break forth with re-
doubled fury, spreading desolation and ruin
among all nations. The United States, now
flourishing and great nation, shall feel its
direful ravages. The North and the South
shall unsheath the glittering sword, and in
the heat of their anger rush headIong into the
opening vortex that has swallowed up nations
and generations. While the nations of the
Old World will catch the fatal spirit, and
drench the soil Of Europe with the blood of
millions, Asia shall rise up and 90 forth to
the valley Of slaughter, where many nations
and kings shall perish in one day. War,
dreadful war, awaits all nations Zion alone
shall escape! There in her peaceful habita-
tons shall the righteous DWELL War shall
not disturb her quiet resting places.-AilIea-

YOUNG MEN.

It should be the aim of young men to 20
into good society-we mean not the rich, nor
the proud, nor the fashionable, but the socIe-
ty of the wise, the intelligent, and the good.
When YOU find men that know more than you
do, and from whose conversation you can get
information, 1t IS always safe to be found with
them Ii has broken down many man to
associate with the low and vulgar, where the
ribald song was sung, and the indecent story
told to excite laughter or inflame the bad pas
sions.
Lord Clarendon attributes success and hap
piness in life, to associating with persons
more learned and virtuous than ourselves. If
YOU wish to be wise and respected, if you de-
sire happiness and not misery, we advise you
to associate with the intelligent and good
Strive for excellence and strict integrity, and
YOU will never be found in the sinks of polu-
ton. or in the ranks of profigates and gam
blers. Once habituate yourself to virtuous
course, and no punishment would be greater
than. by accident, to be obliged. for half a
day TO associate with the low and vulgar.

Touch not the wine glass, young man. It
may be pleasan to sip, but bringeth sorrow
and death. See the wrecks Of humanity a.
round you. What brought them to that con-
dition The social glass. Beware, or you
will be ruined.
Touch not the hand Of the vicious. They
may extend itin pretended friendship. but their
object is to decoy you from your correct prin-
cfP1es-pass by them and 60 on. If you can
speak word for their benefit do so, but oh !
loiternot on the way until you become entan-
ged in the meshes of sin.
Touch not the money that belongs to anoth-
er. Temptation to dishonesty may be severe;

dimes taken from another may prove your en-
tire ruin.
Touch nothing that is vicious and impure.
BE always on your guard and the God Of

A HORRIBLE TRANSACTION.

Several weeks since n gentleman in Hick

had been placed, we believe in carpet bag,

TO -CURE A BURN.

A lady preacher of the Society Of Friends,
in New ork, was so successful in curing
burns, that many supposed her possessed Of
the power of working miracles. The follow
ing is the receipt for the salve:
'sTake one ounce Of beeswax, with four
ounces of Burgundy pitch, simmered in an
earthen vessel together, with as much sweet
oil as will soften them into the consistency
of salve when cool. Keep it from the air in
a tight box or Jar. When used, spread II
thinly on linen cloth, and apply it to the part
injured. Open the burn with needle, and
let out the water till it heals.

mentions as to contain his family, consisting
Of a wife and five or six children. bed and

ring agent Of the American Bible Society, in
his travels in Kentucky, recently found him,
and also saw several respectable gentlemen
who lad spent one or more nights with him
IN his singular home. lie processes to hold
the Lutheran faith, being of German family,

ANECDOTE OF BURNS.

"On one OCCASION" says Mr.. k, our
informant, ''Burns had been in the habit, for
some weeks, of laying aside few pence
weekly from his slender earnings, to purchase
a book emitted "Scottish Melodies" which
he had read and was anxious to own. By
the most rigid economy he at length acquired
a SUM sufficient to obtain the greatly desired
work, when, passing by wretched cottage,
he heard the cry Of children for bread
Prompted by the generous feelings Of his
heart, he entered to learn The condition Of the
family. and found weak. emaciated mother,
engaged with her needle, sewing together
some rags to cover her half naked children.
They were shiyering around her, without
food or fire, exposed to the inclemencies Of a
cold Novembsr wind, which found its way
through many an open crevice into their mis-
cradle tenement.
"1'he woman informed him that her hus-
band had left them several weeks before in a
drunken frolic, since which time they had not
heard from him, and that they had that morn
ing eaten their last meal Of potatoes. This
was the only kind Of food they had tasted for
several days, nor did they know from what
source they were to obtain more. Burns
could hear no more, but placing before them
the few shillings he had suffered such denial
to procure, without waiting for the thanks Of
the grateful family, except as they were eX-
pressed by tears Of JOY, retraced his steps
homoward. Ofen," continues Mr.. k---,
''have l heard him say, he experienced more
pleasure from that act than he should from the
possession of the best library in the kingdom. +"
