Live Rightly Now.
Let US live so in youth
That we'll blush not in age" :"

There is one thing of importance that the youth
should always keep in view viz that they will
one day be old, and that in youth all our actions
against or that combat with The laws of nature
and OF God-are so many drafts upon that old age.
We may not feel the immediate effects of dssipa-
ton or the cultivation of false appetites in our boy
hood on account of the buoyancy, elasticity and
constitution of youth; but continued dropping
wears stone, so does the continued violation of
the laws of nature in any form whatever, wear the
constitution, be il ever so good, by the forming
of morbid appeties, or devoting those hours which
God has ordained for and sleep, to revery and
dissipation. But anon old age comes creeping on,
or rather seeming old age, furrows cheek
and wrinkles our brow, while yet manhood is
in lis prime, and the sufferings Of old age, its
weakness, its trembling and bent form, have
rived long before three score and ten the time al
lotted to man, has come round, all of which suf-
ferlngs can be traced to rregularity ofyouth.

Teaching a Deacon.

A gentleman of this State, who resides in the
town of Gilmore, Mequango county, is, as he de
scrbes himself, very onsartin in politics, and be-
sides that is the mos, onsartin practical joker we
have heard of, of late. Here is one of his jokes
highly amusing, though but for his fearlessness Of
church, &C., it might have proved serious and un
profitable to the joker.
The gentleman was in his store one Sunday
morning, preparing for the duties the day, when
the deacon entered. An unfortunate pack of cards
was lying on the counter, and the deacon, as in
yianous practice. The latter admitted that It was
at least idle waste of time and taking the cards
in his hand, moralized on the subject quite as well
and warmly as the deacon did. At the same time
lie allowed few Of the cards to fall here and there
on the counter, they lying very much in the shape
of tricks, and looking as if the two had really been
"taking hand"
At this junciure, another Of the church came in,
(,he post-office was in the store) and all at once
the joker placing his finger on a couple Of cards on
the counter, exclaimed:
"Now, deacon, | tell you this won't do. The
Queen always takes the Jack and the ten the nine,
and so down, and if you don't attend, you will ne
yer learn the game. That Jack is a good card,
but my Queen takes it, and it counts me one point,
besides one in the count for game"
Why, neighbor," exclaimed the Mortified dea-
con, "what do you mean by that Z"
Exactly what / say :" was the reply, "the
Queen takes the Jack, and now it's mine--ynu
might have trumped with it and saved it long ago;
now this Jack, with low and game puts me out"
At this moment the gentleman of Mequango
county turned round, pretended for the first mo-
meut to notice the brother deacon who had en-
tered, looking confused, dropped the cards, and
vanished.
Of course the deacon was caught The horri-
BILE tale was told of his having been caught playing
cards on Sunday. He was cited to appear before
the church for his backsdng, and, as the evidence
was deemed complete, would have been convicted
and severely punished, in spite of all his protesta-
tons of ingnorance, had not our acquaintance Of
the town Of Gilmore made his appearance in the
nick oftme, as witness in favor of the deacon,
told round unvarnished tale, and procured for
him an acquiltal
II is said to this day. the deacon has an increas
ing horror Of cards, and though he feels conyic-
ton that the Queen will take the jack" and that
the Jack can take the deacon, yet he has an utter
aversion to giving his ''high, low, Jack "-Ra-

That monstrous great hustle,

For often at noon when returned from the field,

The brightest and purest that Nature could yield.
How often I've seized her with hands that were

When quick to my lap she so reluctantly fell,
And finding me often with words overAowing,
In whispers angelic she answered "du tell"

The Parson and the Butcher.

There is an anecdote, which we do not remem-
Der to have seen in print, related about country
clergyman who fourished in some part OF New
England good many years ago. One Sunday
morning. finding his arder too lean TO furnish him
satisfactory breakfast, he sent his servant, dull
clumsy boy ofsixteen, to the stall of neighbor-
ing butcher Of the name of Paul, TO procure
beefsteak for the minister's morning meal. But
the butcher. who was already too largely the cred
itor Of the clergyman to feel like trusting hm any
further without payment of the old debt, refused
to let the boy have any meat. The servant, think
ing it was useless to hasten home with the i'll news,
loitered along the road and on his return, Ind
ing his master had gone to church, followed hlm
thither, and had just entered the door, when the
minister, by way of enforcing some doctrine OF bis
sermon, exclaimed, Well, what says Paul!"-
W1Ty, he says" exclaimed the boy, who sup
posed the question was addressed to himself-"he
says he'd be cussed il he let you have any more
meat till you have paid off the old score :"

Tell me. We winged winds,
That round my pathway soar,
Do We not know some spot
Where morials weep no more
Some lone and pleasant dell
Some valley in the west,
Where free from toll and pain,
The weary soul may rest!
The loud wind dwindled TO whisper low
And sighed for pity as it answered, No"
Tell me, thou mighty deep,
Whose pillows round me play,
know'si thou some favored spot,
Some island far away;
Where weary man may find
The bliss for which he siehs,
Where sorrow never lives,
And friendship never dies!
The loud waves, roaring in perpetual flow,
Stopped for awhile, and sighed to answer" No"
And thou, serenest moon,
That, with such holy face.
Dost look upon the world
Asleep in nights embrace;
Tell me, in all thy round,
Hast thou not seen some spot,
Where miserable man
Might find happier lot!
Behind cloud the moon withdrew in wo
And voice, sweet bat sad, responded No"
Tell me, my sacred soul,
o, tell me hope and faith,
Is there no resting place
From sorrow, sin and death
Is there no happy spot
Where mortals may he blessed,
Where grief may find balm,
And WEAKNESS rest

There lived, no, long since, in neghboring
city, gentleman, who in the service Of his
country and Otherwise, had made his name a

as julius Cesar, and as ready as Hotspur to

other peculiar,ies, always insisted upon having
the lining Of his ha, of light color. and on
the white morocco always printed his name
in large plain letters, with pen. This habit
he acquired after having been at several din

without as much as noticing the number or po-
silion Of the store.
