Young Men.

There is no moral object so beautiful to me
as conscientious young man. i watch him
as do star in heaven; clouds may be be-
tore him, bnt VIC know that his light is behind
him, and will beam again; the blaze of 9TH
er's popularity may outshine him, but We
know that, though unseen, he Eliminates his
own sphere. He resist, temptation, not with
out struggle, for that is no virtue, but he
does resist and conquers; he hears the sar-
casm of the prohigate, and i: stings him, to-
that is a trait of virtue, but heals with his
own pure touch. He heeds not the watch
word Of ia shion, il it leads him to sin, the
Atheist, who says not only with his lips,
sHhere is no God !''-consoles him not; lie
sees the hand of a God, and rejoices in it.
Woman is sheltered by fond arms and low
ing counsel, old age Is protected by its ex-
perience; and manhood by its strength; but
the young man stands amid the temptations
of the world like elf-balanced tower. Hal =
by he who seeks and gains the prop and shell
ter of morality.
Onward then, conscientious youth-raisc
thy standard, and nerve thysclffor goodness.
If God has given thee intellectual power;
awake in that cause; never let IL be said OF
thee, che helped to swell the tide Of sin, by
pouring influence into its channels" If thou
art feeble in mental strength, throw not that
drop into polluted current. Awake, arise;
young man assume that beautiful garb Of
virtue 1t is difficult to be pure and holy
Put on thy strength then. Lot truth be the
lady Of thy love-defcnd her:-Mrs. Gilman.

Hints about Red-IlOOI,,s.

Their small size and their lowness render

carefully surrounded as to prevent the posi-

qucnce is that we are breathing vitiated air

during more than third part of our lives !;

"fhe Church is of necessity intoerant.-

ious freedom in this country is at an end.
So our enemies say. SO We bclicve."-
Shepherd of the Valley, Nov. %, 1851.
"Thc liberty ofhcrcsy and unbclcf Is not

Wool IN THE WEsr.-We are glad, says
an Indiana paper to notice quite a material
advance in the price Of wool. This is owing
in part to the Eastern manufacturers having
sent their agents through the country for the
purpose Of purchasing such lots as they might
I've able to secure and, in part. to the great
falling off in the imported article. The fol-
lowing arc the prices at Cincinnati, the Eas-

SLEEP.-Slccp. the sweetest restorer Of the

Advertising for Il Wife.

Mr.. Michael MClaSkcy. a short puffy old
gentleman of Is, in the twelfth year of his
widowhood. complained to the police Of an
assault committed on his person by Hannah
sullivan. and showed at the same time sever
al long purple stripes on his vlsagc. which he
declared to be the impressions of Mrs. Sulli-
vans finger nails. 1t turned out in evidence
that Mr.. M'Claskcy had advertised for a wife
in one OF the city papers. notifying applicants
for the situation to call ut No, Locust
street, the residence of the advertiser. Mrs.
Sullivan called early in the morning. half an
hour after the advertisement was first pub
lisl,cd. and sent word to Mr.. NJ. that lady
wished to see him about a notice in the pa
per- Mtlaskey was all in huttcr, sup
posing that some blooming beauty was about
to fall into his arms. lie spruccd himself up
and came down stairs, where Mrs. Sullivan
was waiting. To say that he was disappoin-
ted, would be saying too little ; he was horri-
fled.
Might it be You that was wanting wife.
MIR. What!d'ye-call-cm! inquired the lady
Mr.. NJ. eyed her with look of dssatisfac-
tion. and uttered growing affirmative.
Then I'm thinking its myself that might
shoot YOU observed Mrs. Sullivan.

no worse if ever it should be your good luck
to be buried among Christians.

What the thunder should do with a wife

This seems to have closed the conference,
