The Turks have proverb which they often
repeat-it is this {: The devil tempts all other
men, but the idle man tempts the devil. | hope
none of my little readers will be idle; it is in
deed now getting to be common thing for chill,
drcn to do nothing. In old times children used
to help their parents in the afternoons and on
SATURDAYS; but now many children spend all
their time in the woods fishing and hunting
How much better would it be for them if they
would help their parents, and work in the garden
or in the field, or spend their time reading some
GOOD books. You never hear of a lazy man be-
coming a great man. know some little boys
who do not like to get themselves drink OF
water They would think it a disgrace to bring
Il pitcher Of water, or to cut 4 stick of wood or
make a fire. They consider work Of any kind
too low for them. Some of those little boys
when they are grown will find it very hard to
have to work for a living And, instead of get
ting into some business they will try an easier
plan, and 90 to the billiard table and win enough
in that way If not successful in that they vii!
steal.
How much better would it be for children to
learn to work and to love it. The Lord requires
it Of YOU, dear children, and YOU must give an
account Of every idle hour you spend. When
YOU lie down at night ask yourself how You have
spent the day. What have You done for your
self or for those around you DO not let idle
boys tempt you to go astray. Remember time
is flying. Strive to improve every hour and look
forward to be something great. Be ashamed OF
nothing but sin. Remember yonr parents are
hoping You will be an honor to them-disap'
point them not. Those Of You that are poor
should not be idle, for you do YOU will be Il bur.
den to Your parents. Help them all you can and
God will he p you. Those Of YOU that are rlch
work hard. Set good example for the poor to
follow; it is good for soul and body. Who
knows what station YOU may have to ill Then
bc prepared by industry to fill any situation. In
this land of flibcrty all are equals-then don't be
idle. Shun the boy who is ashamed Of hard
work. Learn how to do every thing, and be
always willing to assist in any thing, that may
come in your way; nobody loves an idle boy
1t was the custom Of the Parthians not to give
their children any meat in the morning before
they saw the sweat on their faces from some la
Dor. If that was tried here fear there would
be many little children that would 90 without
meat There is not more worthless being than

And then it changes suddenl y, and is dark and

days like this, when we feel as if we take the
great world in our arms. Then come the gloo.

TIE DE KALB FACTORY.
O, busy, busy busy,
Is the Factory, alway?
Hath it no time Of leisure,
No quiet holiday?
Thank God, there is rest time
For all its crowds within,
4 time when all are freed from
It's labor and its din.
The holy, blessed Sabbath,
The Sabbath Of our Lord,
1t dawns upon the Factory;
O, be his name adored
TO the weary, heavy laden
1t is indeed rest,
And sweetly it rclreshes
The poor and toil-opprest.
'Tis good for soul and body,
The sacred Sabbath day
Its time for meditation,
It's time to watch and pray
1t may be sweet TO othcls,
But O, how blesscdly
Itdawns unon the toil-worn,
One day from labor free.
O, when they have the Sabbath
Let not the poor complain,
And when they have the promise
. The rest that doth remain,
For all Gods faithful people,.
Wherever they may be,
A Sabbath never ending
Through all eternity.
How precious the reflection
; The rest that is Away,
That Sabbaths here prctiSure ..
In this our work-a.day:
If sweet that word ofrcst is,
Christian to you and me,
How sweet unto the Christian

THE MEMORY OF TIE DEAD-1t is an,ex.
quiste and beautiful thing in our nature, that
when the heart is touched and softened by
some tranquil happiness or aaectionate feeling,
the memory of the dead comes over it most
powerfully and irresistibly. 1t would seem al
most as though our better thoughts and sympa.
thies were charms, in virtue of which the soul
is enabled to hold some vague and mysterious
intercourse with the spirits Of those whom we
loved in life. Alas! how often and how long
may those patient angels hover around us,
watching for the spell which is so seldom ut.

Coop SroRY.-The Chautauque Democrat
tells a pretty good story concerning cIrcum
stance which lately occurred at the Post olllce
in Wesfeld. A letter was put in the box, the
appearance of which denoted that the writer
was unaccustomed to the use of Post office
stamps, and in this instance had failed to make
one stick at all, evidently from bcstowing toe
hearty lick on its back. lie had tried and
vaiuly tried, to elicit adhesive properties; but
the inveterate portrait of Benjamin Franklin
would curl up. At last, in despair, he pinned
it to the envelope, and wrote just under it

WHAT Is 4 For Mr. Stork in a lecture
before the Young Mems Association of Troy,
N. u, gives the following definitions
"Ihc fnp is a complete specimen of an ou:.
side philosopher. lie is one-thrd collar, one
sixth patent leather, one.fnurth walking stick,
and remainder gloves and hair. As to remote
ancestry, there is some doubt but it is now
pretty well settled that he is the son of a aior's
goose. He becomes extatic at the smell of
new cloth. He is somewhat nervous, and to
dream ola tai ors bill gives him the nightmare.
BY his hair, one would judge he was dipped
like Achilles but it is evident that goddess
held by the head instead ofthe heels Never
theless such men arc useful. Ifthcre were no
tadpolcs, there would he no frogs. They are net
so much to blame for being so devoted exter.
nails. Paste diamonds must have splendid
setting to make them sell. Only it does seem
waste Of materials to put five dollars worth
of beaver on five cents worth of brains"

Democratic State Convention.

A Democratic State Convention for the nom.
ination of candidate for Governor will be
held in the city of Bangor, on Thursday, the
3Oth day of June next, at 9 o'clock, A. NJ.
The basis of representation is as follows
Every town which shall have returned its
Presidential vote at the last election and every
plantation which shall have been organized
more than one year prior to the meeting of this
Convention, and which shall have returned its
Presidential vote, shall be entitled to one dele
gate, and to one additional delegate for every
one hundred Democratic votes cast by them at
the last Presidential election.
No delegate will be entitled to seat in the
Convention, whose residence is not established
in the town or plantation which he claims to
represent.
The Committee suggest the propriety OF de-
termining by the action of the Convention the
mode of making future denominations OF can
didates for Governor.
