VULGARITY.-We would guard the young
against the use of every word that is not per-
fectly proper. Use no profane language-al-
lude to no sentence that would put to the blush
the most sensitive. You know not the tenden-
cy of habitualy using indecent and profane Ian
guage. 1t may never be oblterated from your
hearts. When you grow up, you will find at
your tongues end some expressions which you
would not use for any money 1t was one you
learned when you was quite young. BY being
careful, you will save yourself great deal of
modification and sorrow. Good men have been
taken sick and become delirious.
In these moments they used the most vile and
indecent language imaginable.
When informed of it, after restoration TO
health, they had no idea of the pain they had
given their friends, and stated that they had
learned and repeated these expressions in child
hood, and though years have passed since they
had spoken vile word, the early impressions
in childhood had been indelibly stamped upon
the heart. Think of this We who are tempted
to use improper language, and never disgrace
yourself. London Lit. Gaz.

COOP ADvoE-It is better to tread the path
of life cheerfuly, skipping lightly over the
thorns and briers that Distract your way, than
to set down under every hedge lamenting our
hard fate The thread of a cheerful mans life
spins out longer than that of man who is con-
tnually sad and Responding. Prudent conduct
in the concerns of life is highly necessary, but if
distress succeed, detection and despair will not af-
ford relief The best thing to be done when evil
comes upon us is not lamentation, but action /;
not to sit and suffer, but to seek the remedy.

SELECTION OF NEwsPAPER.-M0st people
think that the selection Of suitable matter for
a newspaper the easiest part of the business.
How great an error. Ii is by all means the
most difficult To look over hundreds of ex-
change papers every week, from which to select
enough for one, especially when the question is
not what shall, but what shall not be selected,
is no very easy task. If any person who reads
a newspaper could have edited it, we should
have less complaints. Not unfrequently is it
the case that an editor looks over all his ex-
change papers for something interesting, and
can find absolutely nothing. Every paper is
driver than contribution box /; and yet some
thing must be had-his paper must come out
with something in it, and he does the best he
can. To an editor who has the least care about
what he selects, the writing he has to do is the
easiest part of his labor
Every subscriber thinks the paper printed for
his own benefit, and if there is nothing that
suits him it must be stopped-it is good for
nothing. Just as many subscribers rs an edit
or may have, so many tastes he has to consult.
One wants something smart; and then some
thing sound One likes anecdotes, fun and
frolic, and the next door neighbor wonders that
a man of sense will put such stuff in his paper
Something spicy comes out. and the editor is
blackguard. Next comes something argument
tative, and the editor is duh fool And so be-
tween them all, you see the fellow gets roughly
handled. And yet to ninety-nine out of a hun
dred these things do not occur. They never
reflect that what may not please them, may
please the next man, but they insist, that if the
paper does not suit them it is good for nothing.

The n Y. National Democrat says that there
are now in that city no less than fifty sewing
machines driven by steam power, which turn
out an enormous number of pants each day, be-
sides fine coats and other articles of wearing
apparel. One girl with the aid Of machinery,
can turn out as much work as six girls can
with needles used by hand. The profits of this
machine labor are enormous; but it is the cap
italist who owns the machine, who realizes the
gain.
