MIS- SCELLAN
READ THIS, BOYS.

" This is the effects of shoemaking,"
said young mechanic to US yesterday,
shaking a we'll filled purse in our face.
1t was not said boastingly, but with an
honest pride. We wish to refer our
readers to few particulars in the his
tory Of this young man. He is the
fourth son Of an industrious mechanic,
who has known the highth Of af1uence
and the depth Of poverty. His eldest
son is reared for the ministry, and is,
we believe, talented and useful mem
bcr Of society. A second, wa. me-
chanic, q hard working fellow. The
third has acquired an excellent educa-
ton, after much labor and hard work,
through his own means. The youngest
son, he to whom we introduce the rea-
der, was brought up in tho conviction
that labo. was dercgatory to respecta-
bility-that wealth was the highest good
that could be enjoyed by mortals. He
was early sent to school, then to the a.
cademy, preparatory to 4 course Of pro-
fessional studies. Meanwhile, his old
father was telling and starving to attain
the distinctions which are attendant up
on wealth, nearly for the sake Of his
children; but still waiting to go thro'
all the pleasures and emoluments of the
world, if his son could be lauded and
useful in the community. The young
man entered upon his studies, convinc-
ed that he was the son of rich man,
comparatively, and consequently he was
entitled to "full swing" in all frolics
and sprees that came off. Books and
duty itself we're mere subservients to
fun. So when his six months were
completed, he returned home to his
disappointed parents Wild, reckless,
indolent boy, instead, Of the sedate, FIX
ed snd ambitious young man. He lott

A BAsHruL gentleman, who had for
some time admired young lady with
out daring to disclose his passion, sit
ting near to her one Sunday, at church
hit upon the following method Of de-
elaring it: Taking up his Bible he
handed it over to her, having first turn
ed down leaf on which he had marked
with pencil the following, in the epis-
tie of St. John, I'd chapter, 9th verse !:
!" And now I beseech thee, lady, not as
though, I wrote a new commandment
unto thee, but that which we had from
the beginning, that we love one anoth-
er." The lady, in few minutes, turn
ed down and marked Ruth, 1st chapter,
10th verse "Whither thou goest I will
go; where thou u'lodgest 1 will lodge;
thy people shah be my people /; thy God
my God. Where thou diest / will die,
and there will be: buried also. The
