September Is, 1853.
Mr., Editor-permi, Inc, through the medi-
am of yoar valuable paper, to communicate 4
few thoughts, more particularly applicable 10
my young friends.
Beware OF close intimacy with shose whose
tongues are cslumnious toward almost every
one except their prcsent company, to which
they are ever smooth and fair; for he that cal
rmnia,e. and ridiculcs the absen, friend shows
hi. company what they have to espee! from
him .fte. he leaves them. ...
Move. laugh at the ig norance or nis:'kss OF
others. Every personis liable TO r'Is'shss'i"
speaking, writing or reading; therefore a'y"u
do no. wish to be laughed at yourself do not
laugh at the failings of others. You would not
hesitate in saying that it is wong to ridIcu!e
the bodily infrmi.ies ofpersons, lsis not TN
becoming then to laugh at the erross of their
education. Certainly tits. II you have had
greater advantages in life than others, you
ouyh, to be grateful to God who gave you tai
aats and health, and to your parents who aid
ed you in the c1ercise,o of them, in the attain
men. of an education. De not proud and
naughty because your education ii superior to
tha. of others. Remember that you were once
as ignoran. as they, and would most probably
have remained SO had you been placed in the
same situation and surrounded by the sane
circumstances. sN
Whenever you are applied to for inforH'a-
ton on any subject which you understand, i'm
par, i, withou, pride or ostensa'ion, fora great
display Of pride and osten'sslou is sure iHdi-
cation Of weak mind. II. u. b.

Farewell TO Thee, Old Homestead.

Farewell tv thee, old homestead,
GIccn lindcns, vines and flowers,
Where passed my sunny clIildhood,
And all lii1's rosy hours;
No longer can We claim thee,
Thou art no more our own.
Nor can we longer namc thee, Il.
AS our beloved home.
No longer may we nestle.
Like doves around thy wall;
For soon the steamers whistle
viii scream along our halls;
How can we bear to sec it,
Without fearful eye,
The home we held so sacred,
Destroyed SO ruthlcssly.
Ye hcar,less ones who'yc done this,
Hive sc no homes, no tics,
That thus yc lightly tramplc
Whit We so highly prizc
There's waste enough around you,
You might have made your own,
And spared this spot Of hcauty,
And not destroyed our home.
Ny mothers spirit wccpcth,
Tears fall from yon sweet skies,
And starts the flower that slcepclh,
Before the glad sunrise;
A sacrilcgc il seemcth
To every shrub and tree,
And sad the moonlight glcnmcth
Where danced it joy fully.
In thought secure from danger,
We lived to change around;
Now soon the careless stranger
viii lightly tread this ground.
Those vines and loaded trcllis,
And fruits oil kinds most rare,
Soon other hands will pluck them,
Nor itar their trainers care.
Farewell 10 thee, old homestead,
A last farewell to thee;
And nv departed parents,
Who lived and died in thee,
Each heart string round thee clingeti,
Asmcmory turns to yorc;
And sad the song she singeih---
This is thy Ilomc no more.

NEVER GIVE A KICK FOR A Hlr.-1

many cows, oxen and horses waiting to
drink.

meek, ill one Of the cows, in trying to
turn round happened to hit her next
neighbor whereupon the nelshbor
kicked and hit another.
In FIVE minutes the whole herd were
kicking each other with fury.
Ny mother laughed, and said, "See
what comes Of kicking when you are
HIT" Just SO have seen one cross

Alterwards;l my brother or myself
were little irritable, she would say,
children, remember how the fight IN
