Don't Depend on /" Father"

Stand up here young man, and let US talk
to you-you who have trusted alone to the
contents of Gathers purse, " on his fair tame
for your influence in business. Think you
that father has attained to eminencc in his
profession, but by unwearied ipdustry' or
that he has amassed fortune honestly with
out energy and activity? You should know
that the faculty requisite for the acquiring
of fame or fortune, is essential to, nay, in
sepcrable from, the retaining of either of
these. Suppose "lather" has the rocks in
abundance; if you never earned anything
for him, you havo no more business with
these "rocks" than gosling with tortoise; !;
and it he allows you to meddle with them
ill you acquire some by your own industry
he perpetrates mischief And if the old man
is lavish of his cash towards you, while he
allows you to while away time, you'd bet
ter leave-yes, run away--souner than be
an imbeclle, or something worse, through
so corrup,ing an influence. Sooner or later
you must learn to rely on your own resour-
ces, or you will not be anybody. If you
have become idle, if you have eaten your
fathers bread and butter, smoked fathers

Miserable objects you are, that depend
entirely on your parents, playing gentlemen
(dandy loalers What in the name of com
mon sense are you thinking about? Go 10
work with either your hands or your brains,
or both, and be something! Don't merely
have it to boast Of that you have grown in

as other grsenhorns-but let folks know that
you count one! Come, off with your coat,
clnch the saw, the plow handles, the scythe,
the axe, the pick-axe, the spade-anything
that will enable you to stir your blood Fly
round and tear your jacket, rather than be
the recipient of your fathers bounty. Soon
er than play the dandy, hire yourself out to
some potato patch, let yourself to stop log
holes, or watch the cars, and when you
think yourself entitled to a resting spell, do
it on your own hook. Ifyou have no other
means of having fun of your own, buy with
your earning an empty barrel, and put your
head into it and holIer, or get into it and
roll down hill-don't, for PHYS sake, make
the old gentleman furnish c erything, and
you lie at your ease.
Look about you, you weI-dressed, do

gentleman's purse? Or are they those that
have climbed their way to their position by
their own industry and energy? A misera-

how to take the lead, and uot depend forever
on being led, and you have no idea how the
discipline will benefit you. Do this, and our
word for ii, you will seem to breathe a new
atmosphere, possess new frame, tread a
new earth, and wake to a new destiny; and
then you may aspire to manhood. Take off,
hen, that ring from your lily finger, break

Claude had never told her that he loved

were both so young, and perhaps he feared
to try his fate. ! always think he felt that

OUR SPANISH RELATIoNs.-It is stated by
Washington correspondent ofthe New York
Herald, that under the late Spanish admins
tration, the Spanish Ambassador presented a
letter to President Pierce, empowering him
to open negotiations with the United States,
for the final settlement of the Cuban difficult
ties. The President in reply, informed him
that Mr.. Soule had authority to treat upon
the subject. The Spanish Minister subse-
quently renewed the proposition; referring to
the anxiety of his government to have the
misunderstanding between the two nations
brought to a close, and the difficulties en-
countered in the negotiation with MIR. Soule.
A second refusal was given, and the subject
has been left to the Spanish government and
Mr. Soule to the present time.
