A THoUeHr FOR YOUNG MEN.-No wreck
is so shocking to behold, as that of a dissolutc
young man. On the person of the debauchee
or inebriate infamy is written. How nature
hangs labels over him to testify her disgust at
the example How she loosens all his joints,
sends tremors along his muscles and bends
forward his frame? The wretch whose life
long pleasure it has been to debase himself
and to debauch others whose heart has been
spotted with sin so that is black all over, is an
offence to the heart of the unblemished.-
Horace Mann.
How MANY COULD GET LIBRARY.--A col
porteur in Georgia spent night with minis
ter who had a fine library. He told the co..
porteur that, in 1926, when he settled in the
place, he was in the habit of chewing tobac-
co. Thinking it useless practice, he deter
mined to leave it off, and devote the amount
he spent for tobacco each year, being nearly
ten dollars to the purchase of good books.

Particular places become dear to the heart
OF men more generally by the associations at
tached to them, than by their beauty, con-
venience or fertility. Nor is this the cause on
ly as affecting individuals for attachment
founded ON memories or traditions binds tribes
and nations likewise to certain spots, and this
is carried so far occasionally that the mere
name of a distant country win call from the
bosom feelings of affection and devotion, Joy,
pride, and hope.
Politeness, that cementer of friendship and
soother of enmities is nowhere so much re-
CURED, and so frequently outraged, as in the
family circles in near and dear connections it
is continually abandoned, and the result is,
tina all the illusions of life are destroyed and
with them, much of its happiness.

WHAT POOR BoYs CAN DO BY PERSEVERANCE
Two young men came to Lowell, few years
ago from New Hampshire, and went to work
IN bobbin factory. After remaining there
while they heard of the Teachers Seminary in
this town and thought they would make
the attempt to qualify themselves to teach,
notwithstanding their indulgence. They came
here with few hard earned dollars in their
pockets saved from their small wages by the
strictest economy. Board in g Commons at
that time cost the students about 80 cents per
week. This they thought too expensive liv-
ing for their limited means, and consequently
they hired a room, bought bag of Indian
meal, and commenced boarding themselves.
They made such rapid proficiency in their
studies that after spending two terms at the
Institution, they went to New Jersey and
taught the first winter.
They continued to teach winters and at
tend school summers, until one of them be-
came qualified to take charge ola High School
i'll one of our Cities and continues its Princi-
pal at thepresent time receiving salary of one
thousand dollars per year. He is without
doubt, one of the best teachers III the State,
and is not only filling his purse, but has be-
come so portly that he weighs 240 lbs.
The other brother prepared for college, en-
tered Yale, graduated with the valedictory,
entered the Iheo. Seminary IN New Haven,
spent three years and completed his course
with distinguished honors. Besides sustain
ing himself through his collegiate and theo-
logical education, by his own exertions he laid
up twelve hundred dollars. This was earned
by being Tutor, and other fortunate perqui-
sites. The surplus furnished the means for
tour over the European continent, fifteen hun
bred miles of which were travelled on foot
After his return to this country, he was offer
ed salary, by enc society, of twenty-five hun
bred dollars, and by another, fifteen hundred
dollars for one sermon Sabbath, and a yaca-
ton of two months per year, at that. He has
chosen to accept Professorship in Western
College.-Aadouer lido.

That even his own almighty energy,
The life, the mind, the sense, ether, air,
Light, water, aud the al-containing earth,
Proceed from Him. His head the highest heaven,
The sun and moon His eyes, His ears the points
All round the zodiac. In the UOids His speech,
His life the air, his bosom natures breath,
His feet the earth. The all pervading He,
Twas his perfection that created heat,
Whose fuel is the sun. The moon He launched,
Rain to engender--ran to raise the corn,
Which feeds the terminating source Of life,
Whose impregnation animates the world.
He hath created gods and demigods,
Men, beasts birds, vitals, airs and corn, and wheat

Which revels in the organs given to all.
Oceans and mountains all proceed from Him,
From Him all rivers flow. From Him all food
Receives its lavors, and its Strengthening powers.

Music IN THE PURITAN CHURCHES. - For
many years after the arrival of the Pur;tans
ON these shores they cultivated music, but dur
ing the contentious and bitterness of the party
strifes upon religious matters, which soon SO
extensively prevailed, and the witchcraft de-
fusion, the Indian wars, and other evils and
troubles of the period, but little attention was
paid to harmony of any kind. About the year
1900, the congregations in the New England
churches We're rarely able to sing more than
four or five tunes. The clergy saw with what
difficulty, and as one of them expressed it,
''what great indecency," the singing was OK
ecuted. Some of them thought that singing
would soon have to be wholly omitted in public
worship if the art was not revived. The pull
pit earnestly called for better performance of
their songs of parise, and the ablest diyineJ in
the colonies joined heart and hand in the work
of reformation. 1t is at once instructive and
amusing to note what opposition the efforts
for musical reform encountered. In every
parish the reform was opposed with viru-
lence of feeling and tenacity of attachment to
old customs, that seems to us at this day al
most unaccountabe. 1t may be affirmed that
the witch craft decisions met with less oppo-
sition at its introduction than was brought to
bear against the singing reform. The deacons
wished to retain their office of deaconing eff
the psalms, and opposed Singing by note
For the curiosity of the reader we give some
of the reasons urged by the musical hunkers
of a century and a third ago. These ultra
conservatives opposed singing by note, because
sit was new way, not SO melodious as the
existing customs" They opposed the inno-
walton because there were so many tunes no
one could ever learn them; they affirmed that
the tunes were popish in their tendency, and
would lead to the introduction OF musical in
struments. They reasoned that.
