ADvIcE-Boys, read something use
full every day, something to reflect upon
while at your work or road to school
Be inquisitive-fnd out things. Don't
let the blood pass from your heart to
your fingers ends thousands of times
and you know nothing of its motions.
Store your minds early with wisdom.
Read little every day.
Remember Roger Sherman. He was
one of the noblest examples of how much
selfcultivation may do for a man. His
school privileges were of the most ordi-
nary kind.
Early in life he was apprenticcd to a
shoemaker, and instead of joining in the
vulgar conversation so common to many
of his companions, he would sit at his
work with an open book before him, and
devote every moment that his eyes could
be spared from the occupation in which
he was engaged to reading.
Be saving of your little allowance and
buy books,-livcs of good and great men,
men such as Washington and host
of others, whose virtues have rendered
their names immortal Cultivate taste
for reading, The field of instruction to
which it will lead you is boundless

SCOTT AND MADIsoN.-Prcsidcnt
Madison, though early persuaded of
Scott's great qualities, nevertheless,
out of the abundant caution of his ma
ture, always hesitated at every step
of our hero's promotion, (till it came
to the last) on the ground Of his ex
treme youth. Thus he thought he was
too young when it was proposed to
make him lieutenant-colonel, too young
when he was again advanced to the
post Of acknowledgement, too young
when he was made a colonel ola doub
lie regiment, and finally too young
when he was promoted to the place of
brigadier-gereral. But at last, when,
after his then recent extraordinary
services and brilliant successes, it was
proposed to make him a major.g general,
Mr.. Madison promptly remarked,
/" Put him down a maj general l am
done objecting to his youth"

HINTS TO HusBANDs.-D not jest
with your wife upon a subject in which
there is danger of wounding her feelings.
Remember that she treasures every
word you utter, though you may never
think of it again. Do net reproach your
wife with personal defect, for if she
has sensibility, you inAict wound diff
cult to heal. Do not treat your wife
with inattention in company it touches
her pride-and she will not respect you
more or love you better for it. Do not
upbraid your wife in the presence of a
third person The sense of your disre-
gard for her feelings will prevent her
from acknowledging her fault. Do not
often invite your friends to jaunt, and
leave your wife at home She might
suspect that you esteemed others moro
companionable than herself If you
would have pleasant home and cheer
full wife, pass your evenings under
your own roof Do not be stern and si-
lent in your own house, and remarkable
for your sociability elsewhere. Remem-
Der that your wife has as much need Of
recreation as yourself. and devote a por-
tion at least of your leisure eours to such
society and amusemcnts as she may join.
By so doing, you Will secure her smiles
and increase her affection.

Etiquette.

A correspondent of the National In,
telhgcer writes upon the subject of eti-
quette, many things which it would be-
well for other people to read.
And so of visits it is due to ones
self to return visit, although it may be
the first and the last, with no hope Of re-
newal---a little appearance of kindness
and civility brings vastly more than it
costs.
Never laugh loud in company, or you
will lose your dignity of character Some
stupid person will think you are laugh'
ing at him, and then you will afiiict a
harmless man, and very probably mako
an enemy of him. Nothing hurts like
ridiculc, or leaves such sting behind it.
Whispering is never to be practiced
in company. except by very young mas
ters and misses those who aspire to be
ladies and gentlemen, should never do it.
Whistling in company is peculiarly
cockney vulgarism-the noise is oifen-
sive, and argues disrespectful arrogance,
or at least an unbecoming disregard of
the wishes and presence of others very
unbecoming to all men, and especially
young ones.
The stupid Indifference with which all
the Americans regard the passage of a
funeral procession is proverbial. Now
the French people, from a regard to tho
feelings of mourners as well as re
spoct for the memory of the dead, when
they meet funeral procession, stand
still, and uncover in the street, while the
procession passes. A most touching
tribute to the memory of the dead. We
most earnestly wish our people had the
heart to initiate it.
