Twelve Rules for the Year.

The following rules a re intended mainly for,
the guidance Of young men and woman
/. Get married-il you can but look before
you leap. Love matches are romantic-nice
things to read aboul-Uut they have birthstone
in them, now and then ; so say Ike Marvel,
Esq.
2, Unite in overtbrowing the fashion which
translates ciyilty into love.
3. Go to church at least once week.
4. Whenever you see lecture advertised,
set the evening upon which it is to be deliver
ed apart for reading fifteen pages of good
book.
8. Circulate no scandal.
7. Avoid all kind of spirits particularly
spirit roppers.
amusement, do not level your opera glass al
strangers.
8. Never notice the clothing Of persons at.
tending divine worship, nor stand in front oi
The house OF God after the service.
9. Never ask an another man what his bust,
ness is whe:e lie is going to- where he
came lrom-when he left-when he intends 10
20 back, or the number Of his dollars. You
may inquire as to the state Of his health and
that OF his parents, sisters and brother-but
venture no father.
10. Defend the innocent, help the poor and
cultivate spirit of friendship among all you
acquaintances.
II. Never speak disparaging Of women, ant
endeavor 10 conquer all your prejudices.-
Believe all persons to be sincere in the .leli
gion which they profess.
IL. Be economical, but not parsimonious o
niggardly. Make good use of your dollars, bu
not idols. Live within yonr dollars, and nev
er borrow money in anticipation of yonr sala

The way to Discontinue a Paper.

There are several ways practised in dScon-
tinuing papers. But only one correct way
and that is 10 ascertain, either by calling on
the Publisher in person, or, if that is improc
ticabe, by letter, the erdct amount yOu are in
urrears, and then pay up.
Among the wrong wayS-and which are very
frequently praclised-are the two following:
That Of moving out OF the neighborhood,
without giving any directions TO cit er the Pub
Usher, or the Postmaster, 10 have the paper
discontinued
Another is-to let the paper run several
weeks, or probably months, after the time fol
which payment has been made, has expired,
and then tell The Postmaster, when he hands
you the paper, that you 10 not Wish to take il
any longer, and want him to so inform the
Publisher.
Both Of these are not only wrong, legally and
morally, but n ost decidedly vexatious 10 The
Publishes.
Publishers are fully authorized by ldp, 'tc
continue pap,r, in all cases, though the sub
scriberr or the Postmaster, for him, may give
express directions for its dlsconinuance, til
all drreardges are paid up.

The Editor.

It's noted fact, that editors Of new ewspapers,
are left 10 the mercy of every tongue; the scru-
tlnlzlng eye of the million is constantly fixed
npon his every word and action; critics ofevery
grade, the man Of letters, and the man of ig.
norance, stand sentinel, ready 10 censure, if
rerchance he does not suit their views of mat
ters and things. If an editor preSumes 10
speak his opinions through his columns upon
any subject whatever, he is certain 10 get q
tongue laShing from some source or Other
If he crouches and undertakes TO please every
body, lie has every one hold of his ears, and
receives more kicks than pennies. The life
Of an editor is one of many bright as well as
dark hours, for he has the satisfaction Of know
ing that through his laborS much good is done,
aud was it not for the use OF his aid, this
world would, indeed, be one Of ignorance and
crime. Through the press all men seek for
information; and it acts as the lever 80 time
and business. But let me ask the difference
between editors of newspapers and UerJdi pub
llShers, the one acts outright without fear OF
favor, while the other, as q viper in the grass,
strikes unawareS, and endeavorS 10 crush his
victim at one fell blow. His foul, sanderous
tongue, constantly at his work, straining every
nerve and using every means, for the dowalal
OF his fellow men.-JackSOn Standard.

The Poor and the Rich.

The honest, hard working part OF our COM
munity, however much they may excel them
in intelligence and refinement, are looked up
on by some purse proud would be ariStocrais,
as entirely beneath their notice, but these are
only mere exceptions. If person shows
himself but worthy, he is here cheerluly well
coined by the good and great, what ever be his
origin; and il his birth be alluded 10, it is not
with scorh and contempt, but with admra,on
and respect, for having surmounted the obsta-
cIes which were in his pathway. We oten-
lines see the poor mans son rising early, be-
fore the labor OF the day can call him forth, and
assiduousfy porlng over his books while others
are eagerly pursuing pleasure, or are repoSing
in the arms of Morpheus. The flushed cheek
and fire in his eye shows the firm resolve and
high purpose. Mark that boy as he arrives OF
mandood. Those intellectual powers which he
has cultivated so long and faithfully have well
Iepaid his care and pains. Wealth and influ-
ence are his He may fill commanding place

MYst cries on every side.

The world is full Of mysteries. The cham
Der in which the infant opens lis eyes is
universe Of mysteries. The fathers voice, the
mothers snie reveal 10 it slowly the mystic
rious world OF affections. The child solves
many OF these mysteries but es the circle of
knowledge is enlarged, lis vision is always
bounded by a veil OF mystery. The sun that
wakens it at incoming, and again at night looks
in at lis window % bid it farewell the tree
that shades its home, aud in whose branches
the birds come and sing before the dews are
dry, the clouds with shining edges that moves
across The sky, calm and stately like the char
lot OF an angel are all mysteries. Nay 10
grown up man there is not thing which the
hand touches or on which the eye rests, which
is not enveloped in mystery. The flower that
springs of your feet-who has revealed the
wonderful secret of its organization ? Its
roots shoot down, and leaf and flower rise up
and expand into the infinite abyss Of mystery.
We are like emigrantS travelling through an
unknown wilderness they stop at night by a
flowing stream they feed their horses, set up
their tent, and build fire and as the fla mes
rise up, all within the circle of few rods
around is distinct and bleat in its light. But
beyond ana bounding this, are rocks dimly
seen, and trees with vague outline dimly stooT
forward to blaze and beyond the branches
creak, and the waters murmur over their beds
and wild unknown animals howl in their DARK
realms Of night and silence. Such is the lieh
OF mans knowledge, and so 1t is, bounded b!
the infinite realms Of mystery.

A Big Story.

An old gentleman who had a neigh Dor
rather addicted 10 telling laige stories, after
listening one day 10 several which rather taxed
his credulity, boaSted that he himself could
tell bigger one still; and he proceeded 10
relote the following:

THE BIBLE.

The Bible is The treasure OF the poor, the
soldce Of the sick, and the support of the dy-
ing; and while other books may amuse and
instruct in leisure hour, it is the pecn liar
triumph Of that book TO create light in the
midst of darkness, 10 alleviate the sorrow
which admits OF no other alienation, TO direct
a beam of hone 10 the heart which no other
topic Of consolation can reach; while guilt,
despair, and death vanish at the touch of its
holy inSpratio There is something in the
spirit and dction of the Bible, which is found
peculiarly adapted to arrest the attention OF
the plaineSt and most uncullivated minds
The simple structure OF lis sentences, combin-
cd with the lofty spirit of poetry-itS familiar
illusions to the scenes of nature, and the
Transactions Of common lile-the delightful
ntermixture of narration with the doctrinal
and preceptive paTls-and the profuSon OF
miraculous facts, which convert it into sort
OF enchanted ground-itS constant advertance
to the Deity, whose perfectOnS it renders al
most viSible-unite in beS,Owng upon it an
interest which attaches to no other perior-
nance, and which, after aSSdiouS and repeat
ed perusGl, invests it with much Of the charm
OF novelty: Ike the great orb OF the day, at

/ LOVED THEE ONCE.

loved thee once-but have learned
To Danish hence that thought
To check the heart which vainly burned
With love that was unsought;
The flames which lit my spirit first,
In youths bright dreamy hour
Which awhile so fondly nursed,
Hath lost its former power!
I loved thee-but that love ween
Was to thee all unknown;
by thee unhetded and unseen,
thought Of thee alone.
How oft amid the throng I've wept
For one glance from thine eve;
There by me thou hast often stepp'd,
Unconscious was nigh!
! loved thee oncc-oft have gazed
Upon thy beaming brow,
Till thence methought q radience blazed
Two bright for aught below;
And have listened TO the song,
And viewed thy smiling face,
Till seemed borne on wings along.
Thro' heavens arial space.
loved thee once-but tears no more
Shall dim mine eye for thee,
In other ears thy fiattery pour,

So idly to thee given.

and we thought 20 ourselves, yes, my child,
you are coming Coming from the guiless
sunny flour garden of childhoods glory, and
beauty, and Joy, into worlG OF thOrnS, and sin,
and srfTering-from the sweet harmony of in
GantiIe melody and gladnesS into world OF
harsh discorlS, and human notwithstanding
from the warm lips and kindly embraces, and
gentle wor Of mothers love, into air made
poisonous by tie breath Of the Slanderers
lungs-a world full Of rude josilings, where
the traveller need be firm in nerve, and strong
in sinew, or he is pushed aside, and trampled
under foot-a world full of curSing and bitter
ness, that almost turns 10 gall the few cups OF
Edens nectar, still kept pure from the effects
of the fall. Coming from the sweet peace Of
your loved heaven Of home, into Strange
land where there are GackbitingS and envy
ings, and falSehoods-man striving TO over
reach his neighbor, neighbor, whom he
daily greetS with smile and a profession of
friendship, all hurrying, running, Snatching,
clutching after yellow gold; crazed with lis
serpent charm, forgetting the very lies of ma
ture, and locking up forever al its kindlysym-
pa.hieS. Coming alas! to be avaricious and
vain, and cold hearted as the rest of mankind; :;
and coming, too, TO the same narrow home to
which We all hasten.

A Scene at the Gate Of Paradise.

A poor tailor, being released from trouble.
some world and Scolding wife, appeared al
the gate Of Paradise. Peter asked him if he
had ever been in Pergatory.
"No," said the tailor, "but l have been

"Oh"soid Peter, "hat is all the same"
The tailor had scarcely got in before fat,
turtle eating alderman came putting and blow
ing.
"llallo! you fellow" said he. "open the
gate"
"NOt so FAST" sad Peter; "have you ever
been in Purgatory9"
"No said the alderman, "but what is that
10 the purpose? You Jet in that poor, half.
starved tailor, and he has been in Purgatory
no more than l."
But he has been married" said Peter.
"Morriej" exclsimed the alderman, "why
have been married twice!'
Then go back rgain," said Peter "Para
disc is not the place for fools"
