MAKING MAPLE SUGAR-The sugar
maple is beautiful tree, reaching the
height of seventy or eighty feet, the body
straight, for long distance free from limbs,
and three Or four feet diameter at the base.
1t grows in colder climates, between lati-
tude 42 and 4S,and on the alleghanies to
the southern termination, extending west
ward beyond lake Superior. The wood is
nearly equal to hickory for fuel, and is
used for building, for ships, and various
manufactures When tapped as the winter
gives place to spring,a tree in few weeks,
will produce five or six pailfuls of sap,
which is sweet and pleasant as a drink,
and when boiled down will make about half
as many pounds ofsugar. The manufactur-
er, selecting spot central among his trees,
erects temporary shelter, suspends his
kettles over smart fire, and at the close
of a day or two will have fifty or hundred
pounds of sugar, which is equal to the COM
mon West India sugar, and when refined
equals the finest in flavor and in beauty.
When the sap has been boiled to syrup
and is turning to molasses, then to candy,
and then granting into sugar, its flavor is
delightful, especially when the candy is
cooled on the snow. On this occasion the
manufacturer expects his wife, children,
and friend, if near, to enjoy the scene.

Benefit of Labor.

The want of regular employment, of
some settled course Of action, has caused
many young man to follow the down.
ward road to ruin. 1t matters not how
well informed, or how talented he may be !;
if he does not turn his mind and his hand
to the accomplishment of some useful pur-
pose, he may as well be clod for all the
good he does. He is not only doing nothing
for the benefit of himself and his fellows,
but he is actually doinr much harm to the
rising generation. Children quickly dis
Germ between habits of industry and idle
ness, and unless warned by constant les
sens on the Importance of the former, arc
sure to fall into the snares set by the
latter.
Young men of the present day too often
think it unbecoming them to labor, and
prefer to get their living by their wits, or
what is still easier, by depending upon
their hard working fathers (to whom they
would think it a disgrace to speak in the
street, for their maintenance. Such, for
a time, 90 swimmingly along they are

bills--thcy are filled with fat things from

gingles in their pockets-the wages of
labor not their own--aud everything appa-
rently, is secured for their comfort, and
to save them from the necessity Of working.
But the day of reckoning will come, and
that speedily. No man, however intelli
gent he may be, can live in idleness with
out suffering in character and morals. If he
is wealthy, he will be drawn into the tolls

and his progenitors can i'll afford to support
his extravaganza, he will soon be induced

case his danger is great indeed nor can
he possibly continue his course without
losing that Integrity of character which he
should value above life If man is hon
est at heart, he will follow some calling to
promote the general welfare and to advance
the common cause. He cannot stand still ;
his course, be it for good or evil, must be
onward, and unless he aims at doing right,
he but cumbers the ground,

OxYGENTATED BIrTERs.-Among our adver-
tisements are some of the most approved patent
medicines, one of which, the Oxygenated Bit
ters, we have tried. While under medical
treatment by physician in this city, for a dis
tressing bronchitis of two years standing, We
were induced to try these Bitters, suspecting
they were composed of the very thing which he
had prescribed. The effect was immediate and
pertinent, and the cure was completed When
ever a bronchitis is connected with a deranged
stomach, we have no doubt this medicine will
give great relief. The patentce has the merit
of great honesty, when he tells US to stop ia
king the medicine, if not benefited by two or
three bottles.

Daniel Isaac, the celebrated Wesleyan
preacher, was fond of smoking and on one
occasion an elderly lady entered the room,
and seeing him engaged with the pipe, lifted
her hands, and exclaimed, as if particularly
shocked at the sight of so much self-indul-
gence, "Ah, Mr.. Isaac, you are at your
idol again I" Looking up at her with one
of his quiet, yet pleasantly demure express
