Vulgarity.

We would guard the young against
the use of every word that is not perfectly
proper. Use no profane language-use
70 sentence that would put to the blush
the most sensitive. You know not the
tendency Of habitually using profane and
indecent language. 1t may never be OBJ
liberated from your hearts. When you
grow up, you will find at your tongues
end some expression 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 a
great deal of modification and sorrow.
Good men have been taken sick and be-
come delirious, and unknowingly made
use of vulgar and profane words, 10 the
modification of their friends. When in
formed of it, after a restoration to health.
they had no idea of the pain they had
given their friends, and stated that they
had learned and though years have passed
since they have spoken vile word, the
early impressions of childhood have been
indelibly stamped on the heart. Think
Of this, We who are tempted to use improper
language, and never disgrace yourselves.

Sketch of a Gentleman.

Moderation, decorum, and nea,ness dis.
tinguish the gentleman he is at all times
af1able, diffideni and studious TO please
Intelligent and polite, his behavior is
pleasant and graceful. When he enters
the dwelling of an inferior, he endeavors
to hide, if possible, the difference between
their rank in life; ever willing to assist
those around him, he is neither unkind
naughty, nor over bearing. In the man
sons of the greal the correctness of his
mind induces him to bend to etiquette,
but not to adulation correct principle
cautions him to avoid the gaming table,
inebriety, or any other foble that could
occasion self reproach. Pleased with the
pleasures of reflection he rejoices to see
the gayeties of society, and is laslidious
upon no point of little importance. APP.
pear only to be a gentleman, and its
shadow will bring upon you contempt; be
a gentleman, and its honors will remain
even after you are dead.

Littering Horses.

It is said that IN Sweden, horses are
never Uttered. Plank floors are laid in
their stables, perforated with holes, TO en-
able the urine 10 flow off. so that no wet
and but little moisture can remain on
them; and these pIanks kept clean, are
the only covering supplied. This prac-
tice will appear strange to many, especl-
ally to tourists in this country, but the
Swedes attribute to it the soundness cf
their horses feet. Their animals are
rarely foundcred. or lame in their feet or
legs, and no other precautions are taken
10 prevent the evil than that above named.
A late tourist, in remarking on this
subject says; The founder | consider
in some degree to be occasioned by the
animals standing in soft straw, which is
generally moist, if not wet. The Swe~
dish horse is never affected by it, as he
stands on dry, hard floor, without any
bedding at all.

Disinfecting Lamp.

A note, from medical friend, reminds
US of beautiful, simple, economical
apparatus, for overcoming bad odors and
purifying any apartment where the air IS
loaded with noxious materials. A des>
crip,ion of it has already appeared, but
the reference, in the note alluded TO, has
unfortunately been mislaid. The whole
matter, however, is simply this. Take
one of any of the various kinds of glass
Iamps-for burning camphen., for exam
pIe-and fill it with chloric ether, and
Ugh, the wick. In few minutes the
object will be accomplished. In dissec-
ting rooms; in the damp, deep vaults,
where vegetables are sometimes stored, or
where drains allow the escape of often
sive gases; in buildings; and in short,
in any spot where it is desirable to purify
the atmosphere, burn one of these lamps.
One tube, charged with a wick, is quite
sufficient. This sue gestion is really
worth remembering for the comfort of a
sick room, because it is easily accom-
plished, agreeable, and more economical
tor purifying than any process now known

DERIVATION OF THE WORD GRocER.-
The legal offence, Engrossing, in old
times, referred to all instances in which
goods were bought on large scale to be
resold by retail. An engrosser was not
always criminal; it was lawful to en- :
gross foreign merchandise when it was
not paid for in gold, and to retail it in
England. The term grocer, now applied
TO a retailer of tea and sugar, was of old
used solely to designate :hese great for
eign merchants. They were men of
mark, and some ofthem were ennobled-
such as Lionel Crap6eld, who became
Earl Of Middlesex. Thus many scions of
noble houses, when looking into their
genealogies, are not little startled, if no,
scandalized, to see the most distinguished
of their ancestors set fort as So and so.

SERMoNs.-Parson Green is in the
habit, sometimes, of drawing upon barr
rel of sermons, bequealhed him by his
father, who was also minister. Upon
one occasion he got hold of sermon, by
mistake. which the old gentleman had
once preached to the State Prison con-
victs. |! opened well, and the congrega-
lon were becoming deeply interested,
when all at once the parson surprised
them with the information, that had it
not been for the clemency of the Cover
nor, every one of them would have been
hung long time ago!'

WORDS BY JESSE HUTCHINSON.
I'll sing you song of Printers Boy
Whose height and honored name
Stands out in glowing CAPITALS,
Upon the scroll Of fame
Who in the days that tried mems souls,
In freedoms darkest night
Stood manfully with Washington,
And battled for the right,
Ben Franklin was that Printer Boy. one OF the
olden time.
And twas that boy who few his kite
To the thunder clouds on high
And brought the forked lightning down
From regions of the sky;
Twas he who caught this fiery horse,
And trained him for the chase,
Till now he's driven safe by Morse
Right into the Printers Case,
Ben Franklin was that Printer Boy, oneof the
olden time.
Long shall the world extol his name,
The patriot and sage,
Who fully justified by faith,
Was proved on every page;
His form corrected and rsrised
Is now ,cork,d off and pressed;
A new edition in the skies,
A star among the best
AL honor to that Printer Boy, one of the olden
time.
An now my brother Typos, take
This leader for your guide,
Follow corrected copy, and
ed All errors mark outside
Be frugal, chaste and temperate,
Stick to the golden rule,
And you shall shine among the stars,
In the Printing Office school.
Just initiate that Printer Boy, one Of the olden
time.
