HOW to make Money fast and honestly.
la Enter into business of which you, have a
perfect knowledge. In your own right, or by
the aid Of friends, on long time, have q cash
capital suficieatao do, at least cash business.
Never venture on credit business on COM
msncement. Buy all your goods or materials
for cash ; You can take every advantage of the
market and pick and choose where you will.
Be careful not to overstock yourself. Rise and
Cali with the market, on short stocks. Always
stick to those whom you prove to be strictly
just in their transactions, and shnn all others,
even at temporary disadvantage. Never take
advantage Of customers ignorance, nor equiv
ocate, nor misrepresent. Have but one price
and email profit, and you will find all the
most profitable customers-lhe cash Ones-or
they will find you.
If ever deceived in business transactions,
never attempt to save yourself BY putting the
deception upon others but submit to the loss,

LONG TAILED CHARITIES. AS we were
listening few evenings ago to the converse
ton of one of the most wise and learned men
Of these times-a man Of wit and humor,
withal, we heard these remarks - On the
whole, don't like long-tailed charities-itl is
but right that each generation should take
care of its own poor, and sick and infrm.-
Great foundations seldom have proportionate
sdperstructure. The greater the remove from
the life or death of the donor, the greater the
probability of abuse or perversion Of the gift
What a pity, bye and bye, that rich men do
not see the economy of being their own exec
utors and trustees las they are beginning to
do, little, in Boston, and elsewhere. When
man of af1lueuce says am rich enough-I
will acquire no more-I will give my income
to charity after this date he has taken great
step, and soon finds giving-wisea and judicious
giving-almost as easy as gathering And
then it makes him SO happy to see the effects
of his benevolenee. The frequent watchfnl-
ness and Encouragement of corporations is
astonishing Look at Girard College! Sir,
liberality with other mems money is one of
the virtues which survived the effects of the
fall of Adam think that in charity, as in
everything else, as little should be done by
proxy as may be.-BostOn Post. ,.a,r4

Dangers to young Men.

Among the dangers TO young men, moSteto
be dreaded, both as cause, and sign Of de-
parture from a correct life, is that Of disresar-
ding the Sabbath, absenting themselves from
the public worship of Jehovah, and breaking
loose from the influences and associations of the
Sabbath School.
a- The history of nearly every young man in
crime, is very apt to begin with his disregard
Of the Sabbath; thus showing how much we
are all indebted to the Sabbath, the Sanctury,
and the Sabbath School, for those unseen and
unappreciaied influences which mould and guide
the life. The mere habit ofattending regular
iy upon public worship has much in il of

public assembly, devoted 10 religion, are favor

There is danger to the young man in d;.,e-
garding the Sabbath and the sanctuary M,
merely 10 his religion. but even 70 his prospects
for good citizenship, and business character,
and worldly success since in such disregard,
he enters upon the path, to follow which may
beguiie him along IFS course, promising him
freedom and recreation, repose and pleasure,
talpting his mind, corrupting his heart, and
bunting his conscience, until, at length, he be-
comes entangled in the snafes of sin, and per-

Let the young man beware of the seductions
which lead him TO absent himself from the
house Of worship on the Sabbath. There is a
silken thread Of influences there, keeping his
heart from evil, and giving him good thoughts

from the militia TO recruit the continental ar
my, certain captain gave liberty to the men
drafted from his company to make their objec-
