influence of Associates.

1t has been quantity but wisely said,
remarks the Hartford Courant, that man
kind i. divided into but two classes, those
that lead, and those that are led. The
first are few in number, but they give
tone to society, character to the world
around them, and are frequently accoun-
table for the foIlies, the vices, and the
crimes of the whole community. The
same fact takes place among the young.
Human society is the same in all ages, ,and
amoug those just entering life, there may
be found the leader and the follower,
for either good or evil. To the leaders,
we can only say, at present, beware of the
example you set. The dsstinies of human
souls for ever, depend upon you, for you
have more influence in the formation of
the character of your companions than
even their parents themselves. The time
is coming when all the evils Of wrong
influence, all the consequences of cor
rupting example, every unholy or impure
precept, every character contaminated, and
every prospect Of usefulness blasted thro'
your agency will cry out, ut,trumpet-tongued
for your condemnation. To those who are
led, whose destiny aud character depend
upon the influence Of others, We can say
s.beware of your associates" Your mind
are plant, your opinions unformed-you
are ready to pursue any road pointed ou
to you by your amusing companions. i
they are vicious, your own docile disposi
tions will be easily led into the same dan
gerous course they pursue. If the mora
principles of honesty and purity sre want
ing in them, the contact with their s'ronge
powers of decision will soon undermn
those principles in your heart. This eau

Dreadful Condition Of Europe.

The late European news bring sad ac-
counts of destitution in certain portions OF
Eurogs. A cor respondent writes "thst
the rumors of the possible change in The
corn laws of England, have been received
with the utmost CONSERVATION in such of
the eorn-growing districts as are still in .
position to export. Upwards of 800 ships

There is no bread at all. The inhabitants
are said to be living On soup Of some
kind. which they call "reitkamusa,"
compound of fat and milk or they cook
sort of thick oaten pap, something in

they call .kulasha," and eat in the place

archy is raging in the districts most affected
BY the famine. The men, callous AMI
desperate, get at the fiery Brantwein Of
the country, and murders and robberies Of
the weak and defenceless naturally sue
coed. In consideration of the high price
of potatoes, concurrentlv with the general
dearth of provisions, the Government OF
the Grand Duchy of Hesse has forbidden
the consumption Of potatoes in the distill-
alton of spirits.
Troubles and bad government have su-
perinduced these afHictions. "The humble
classes, being deprived Of all heart and
energy" says correspondent, shave left
their fields uncultivated for miles, lest the
rude hands of some hateful seldiery should
seize Or destroy the fruits Of their labor.
The consequence of this is something very
like famiue in many parts Europe"

completing his studies in Edinburg, writes
to the Philadelphia Christian Chronicle as
follows
EolSpuro UNvsRsIrI, (scotland,> Jan Is, 1852.
The longer L stay here, the greater are
the advantages that open before me. Prof.
Aytoun has kindly invited me to his house
several times, where l have met some Of
the first literary men of Scotland. At DR..
Beilbey's, DIR. Innes', Rev. Mr.. Dickeys,
am now quite at home. Prof. Aytoun is
man of great genius. His poems are
known and admired over Europe. As
present Editor Of Blackwood, he wins
universal applause; and as lecturer,
! (Porfessor of Rhetoric) he is eloquent in
a high degree.
Among the students, l have become
acquainted with three Egyptians, one
Russian, one Greek, one Chinaman, two
1 cTSIdns, tuIec OcIHahsy oHo Hi"pi'p,
and two Frenchmen, besides many others.
Some of these-Ali Bey Mus,apha, Kotzna
Mkrriles, Chung Fou Seng, Ben al Mu
hammed and Karl Swalmzc-I may even
rank as friends. We spend much time
in each others rooms, conversing concern
ing our respective countries 1t is delight
full to me to listen to their variations. Al
Bey Mustapha has two wives, though he
is only about twenty years old.
Among my female acquaintances ha
lately been introduced pretty Jewess ant
two young ladies' from Iceland. Th
: former is devout Christian, and has
elias, in the Ragged Sunday school. Th
= latter are at female seminary in the city
t and first met them one evening at MI

INDUCED upon this sacred day. Everything
wears a more serious and happy appear
ance than upon other days. Few. indeed
are those who stay away from a place o.
religious meeting. The spirit of tn
venerable Knox seems upon the Sabbath
to animate all breasts, and Glove To

house) seems written upon the face O
every one, whether rich or poor, titled Of
peasant.
The manners Of the people please me
very much. True, there is not that
warmth of feeling that melts everything
into its own love, but there is a delicate
reserve that is scarcely less captivating
Among my female acquaintance, especially
do l notice this most. Gentlcness OF
manner, with sensitive feelings Of propri-
ETY., are no small virtues; and these the
Scotch ladies certainly possess to great
degree.
The city is repletc with objects Of in
terest Holyrood Palace, the Castle
Carlton Hill, the monuments of Scott,
Burns, and Lord Melville, statues of Pitt,
Scott and George ~, Iron and St.John's 3
Churches, st. George Chapel, ST. Giles
Cathedral, give interest aud elegance to
the city.
Among the many "features' of Scotland
not the least interesting, is the Scotch
oulpit. Thorn as Chalmers and Edward
Irving, it is true are dead, but their spirit
vet lives. I have been to many Of the
churches and have heard most Of the first
preachers and, though can not say that
they surpass our own in matter, they
certainly excel in manner. There Is a
certain earnestpess about them that ire
sistibly draws the attention of every one
in the congregation. The "Free Church
that is, the Church not supported by
government-has many more Jealous
ministers than the Established Church.
The fight against Popery in Scotland is
most earnest. 1t fills me with astonish-
ment to see how fearlessly the Scotch
clergy thunder at the gates of Rome.
They expose the errors Of the Papal
Church with zeal that knows no fainting.
and with a power that must at length
prove successful.
