NAsHINGTON's ADVICE TO YOUNG Men,
In a letter to his adopted son, George Wash
ington Parke Gusts, written at Philadel-
phia, on the 18th January, 1907, he advises
him to keep diary and an account of ex-
penses. The following is the advice of the
father of his country, and the advice would
not be out Of place with the young men of
the present day:
"You might derive advantages from
short diary recorded in book of the occur
rences which happen to you, or within your
sphere. Trifling as this may appear at first
view, it may become an introduction to
more interesting matters. At any rate, by
carefully preserving these it would give you
more satisfaction in the retrospective view
than what you conceive at present.
Another thing would recommend to you
not that 1 want to know how you spend
y
book and enter therein every farthing of
your receipts and expenditures, the doing of
which will initiate you into habit from
which considerable advantages would result
Where no account of this sort is kept, there
can be no investigation, no correction of
errors, no discovery, from a recurrence
y-hn
been appropriated to particular uses. From
an early attention in these matters, impor-
tant and lasting benefits may follow"

Notwithstanding the decision of
Judge Hayre, declaring the liquor
law, passed by the Legislative Assem-
bly,, and approved by a vote Of the
people, unconstitutional, the friends Of
temperance are not cast down. At a
meeting held in st. Paul, an able me-
mortal to the Legislature was adopted,
and we cannot believe that it will be
unheeded. The point upon which the
Judge overturned the law, and opened
again the food-gates Of iniquity upon
the Territory, was that the territory
belonged to the whole Union, and
therefore its submission to the voters
of Minnesota was unconstitutional.

The memorialists assert that great
good had resulted from the law, even
for the short period it was upon the
Statute book. They say;

Poor souls ! We pitY Them |!

The majority Of the members ofthe
Ohio Legislature really deserve the
heartfelt commiseration of their con-
stituents. The multiplied thousands
of memorialists for law Of prohibi.
ton, the united action oftwo large and
intelligent State Conventions held at
the Capital since their election, have
made them feel that their feet stand
on slippery places. They know what
an intelligent popular sentiment de-
mands Of them, and yet they fear the
whisky inAuence-the political power
Of the bottle. No inconsiderable por-
tion Of the last two weeks have been
spent in playing T" hide and seek" on
this question. The meanest of them
shed crocodile tears over the desola-
tons Of the liquor traffic have an
abiding confidence in the power Of
"moral suasion" (although as yet it
has failed to reach them); and are
fearful that the friends Of temperance
will destroy the holy cause (the very
thing they would rejoice most to see);
and regret that the constitution stands
in the way Of their doing anything by
legislation. The subject, however, is
one in which they all feel deep inter-
est, and are willing to discuss it at the
tune Of four dollars day, while they
have determined before hand to lay
the whole subject on the table, after
first defining tteir positions and plac-
ing themselves right before their con-
stituents. As some of them are not
certain whose hands they may fall
into, they will cry, "good lord and
/ good devil" with the hope ofsecuring
the friendship of both. They have
brought before them different PROPOSE
tons, that they may vote one way OF
one and another way on another, tina
their cloven foot may not be seen BY
/ their constituents.
I Some have hoped, and perhaps still
hope for something from this Genera
Assembly; but from the time we look
ed over the assembled wisdom, early
last winter, we made up our mind tha
we had nothing to expect from them
/ We of course refer to the majority
there is a large and intelligent minor
| ity who are sound temperance men,
and who are ready to act and act eff

them, and they, as well as the oppo
sition, will be remembered by thei
constituents in the day Of Judgment

The Maine Law in Tennessae

We publish below a letter from a
correspondent, giving a hurried ac-
count Of the great convention, holden
in Nashville on the 22d ult. 1t was
tremendous out-pouring Of the people,
and will have a powerful effect in
favor Of Maine Law.
On the 18th ult., the friends of
temperance in East Tennessee, held
convention at Knoxville. They,
also, took strong ground in favor Of
the Maine Law. Our friends in Ten
nessee, are now united as one man.
They have resolved ''to conquer the
tyrant, bury him, and inscribe upon
his mb-stone-No RESURRECTION.
WASHABLE, Tenn, Feb. 22d, '53.
Mr.. CLARK-Dedr Sir:-The 22d.
will be day long remembered in the
annals of Tennessee, as having given
birth to a mighty impulse in the great
Temperance reformation. A con-
venticn Of the people Of Middle and
West Tennessee, assembled to-day in
the city Of Nashville, which, in point
of numbers, intelligence and enthusi-
asm of its members, and unanimity
Of action and purpose, was never
surpassed by any convention in the
South. Farmers, Lawyers, Physicians
and gray-headed Ministers of the
Gospel was present, as the represen-
tatives of the citizens of their respec-
tive localities; and, sir, it would have
done your soul good to have heard
one after another rise up, in response
to the call of the convention, and
with hearts overfowing with zeal and
enthusiasm, say, they represented a
people calling for Maine Law or MOTH
ing. They were determined to bury
the monster alcohol deep in the earth,
and write upon his skull bone, mo
RESURRECTION"
The convention unanimously adop-
ted series of resolutions expressive
of their sentiments uron the question,
declaring that total prohibition, by
the most stringent laws, was their
only alternative; and that they make
this paramount to all other questions
at the coming election.
The people Of the State have been
looking forward with great interest to
the action of this assembly; and now
that the ball has been set in motion,
their flag unfurled to the breeze, with
the Maine Law emblazoned upon its
folds, the good work will "go bravely
on"
Rev. J. Young, of Louisville, was
in attendance, and will address the
convention this evening. Wherever
he goes, he fires the zeal of the
friends of temperance, and leaves an
inextinguishable blaze behind him.
Yours respectfully,
Al. YEATER.
