Good Advice TO Young Men.

The following excellent advice is taken
from the address delivered before the
graduating class of Rutgers College, by
the Hon Theodore Freingbuysen:
"Resolve to do something useful, hon.
orable, dutiful, and do it heartily. Re-
pei the thought that you can, and there
fore you may, live above work and with
out it. Among the most pitiable objects
in society is the man whose mind has
been trained by the discipline of educa-
ton, who has learned how to think, and
the value of his immortal powers, and
with all these notable faculties cultivated
and prepared for an honorable activity,
ignobly sits down to do nothing with no
influence over the public mind with no
interest in the concerns Of his country, OF
even his neigbborhood to be regarded
as drone, without object or character,
with no hand to lift, and no effort to put
forth to help the right or defeat the wrong.
Who can think with any calmness of such
miserable careerl And, however it
may be with you in active enterprise new
er permit your influence to go into hostil-
ity the cause of truth and virtue. So live
that, with the Christian poet: you may
truthfully say that
"If your country stand not by your skill,
At least your follies have not wrought her fall.

to explain the mystery.
She smiled as she said, you must for
give my ruse, Harry; you said personal
beauty had no weight with you, and L
wished to prove you. You see me now
in my proper shape and person. Can you
love me as well as when wore specs and
a red wig?'
He could answer only, by gazing ad-
miringiy upon her graceful little figure SO
delicate, yet so spirited, and those soft
brown curls shading her face, eloquent
with sweetness
Harry was of course enchanted. The
sequel may be guessed. Harry is. a hrm
believer in Phrenology.

New Material for: Building.

The Cincinnati Gazette has been shown
a "speciman of brick, made of lime and
sand, which, it says, appears as though 1t
would take the place of the common clay
brick altogether. 1t is very smooth and
hard. 1t is larger than common brick,
with a vacant space in the centre. The
Gazette further adds
We are informed that the materials
used in the manufacture of these bricks
are simply line and sand, the portion be-
ing about eleven parts sand to one part
lime, and they can be manufactured at a
less cost than our common clay brick
The bricks can, of course, be made of any
form or shape, according to taste. 1t Is
fully equal to sand stoue. The advanta-
ges are the facility with which they are
manufactured ; lathing and plastering be-
come unnecessary, and the outside and
the inside Of the wall is made at the same
time. The chemical change which takes
place in the manufacture of the bricks
hardens them so that they are not more
affected by the action Of the atmosphere
than stone 1t is not affected by frost,
and experiments which have been tried
to test its strength and other qualities
have resulted satisfactorily.

ODE ON TIE SPRING.

BV GRAY, AUTHOR OF THE FAMOUS ELEGY.
Lo where the rosy-bosom'G hours
Fair Venus's train, appear,
Disclose the long expecting flowers,
And wake the purple year!
The Attic warbler pours her throat,
Responsive to the cuckoo's note,
The untaught harmony of Spring;
While, whispering pleasures as they fly,
Cool zephyrs through the clear blue sky
Their gathered fragrance fling.
Wher'er the oaks thick branches stretch
a broader, browner shade;
Where'er the rude and moss-grown beech
Der occupies the glade,
Besides some waters rushy brink
With me the Muse shall sit and think
CAT ease reclined in rustic state
How vain the ardor of the crowd,
low low, how little, are the proud,
iIow INDECENT the great!
Still is Tie toiling hand Of Care;
The painting herds repose;
Yet bark, how through the pcoplod air
The busy murmur glOws!
The insect youth are on the wing,
Eager to taste the honied Spring,
And float amid the liquid noon;
Some lightly DER the current skim,
Some show their gaily-gilded trim,
Quick glancing TO the sun.
To Coniemplation's sober eye,
Such is the race of man;
And they that creep, and they that fy,
Shall end where they began.
Alike the busy and the gay
But hutter through life's litlle day,
In Fortunes varying colors dressed;
Brushed by the hand of rough Mischance,
Or child by age, their airy dance
They leave in dust TO rest.
Mcihinks hear, in accents low,
The s2ortiye kind reply;
Poor moralist and what art thou
A solitary fly!
Thy joys no glittering female meets,
No hive hast thou Of boarded sweets,
No painted plumage 10 display,
On hasty wings thy youth is flown;
Thy sun is set, thy spring is gone
We frolic while lis May"

The Camel Experiment.

1t will be recollected that Congress at
its last session appropriated certain a
mount of money to enable the Secretary
of War to try the experiment of intro
ducing oamels as beasts of burden and for
military purposes. The experiment is
soon to be made, and we have no doubt
with perfect success. The ship of the
desert as the Arabs call these invalua-
bic animals, will soon be drifting across
our prairies and the great waste of sand
that lies between the Missouri and the
Rocky Mountains. The Union says 'as
our Navy department have occasion to
send stores to our squadron in the Medi-
terranean, the storeship Supply, now at
the New York yard, has been selected for
the purpose, and on her return voyage
will bring the camels. This vessel will
be commanded by Lieut.. David D. Por.
ter, of the Navy, and will take out Maj
Wayne, an Officer of the quarter ermaster'S
department of the Army, to perchase the
camels, and on her homeward voyage will
bring them to the United States. The
vessel will be fitted with ell despatch fol

IMPORTS AND ExPoRTs.-An informal
summary Of the annual commerce and navi-
cation reports, has been prepared for the
use of the Secretary Of the Treasury, from
which it appears that the imports Of for
eign merchandise during the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1854, were fraction over
$500, 100000. The exports of domestic
produce were between $50, 1000, 900 and
260, 100000. The exports Of breadstuffs
and provisions were somewhat in excess Of
$50, 100000 The difference between the
imports and exports was made up in Cali
fornia gold, stocks, and mercantile obliga-
tions. The revenue from customs, as be
fore stated, was about $65, ,00e 900, and
from all other sources $4,000, 900.

The GREAT STORM IN THE BLACK SEA-
The Paris Moniteur Of the 2Tth ult., in
speaking of the terrible tempest which sud-
denly burst upon the Black Sea on the l4th
Of November, says that Some Of the YES
sells Of the allied squadrons received injuries
easily repaired upon the spot the Henri
~ and the steamer Pluton were forced
upon the coast, but every person was
saved" In anticipation of such a easuali-
ty, two entirely new ships-of-the-line, the
Turenne and the Donauwerth left Toulon
on the 9Th of November, and arrived at
Constantinople, after a rapid voyage Of
nine days, laden with troops, provisions,
and material Of every kind. Others were
about TO follow them. Among the number,
two fine new steamers, the Prince jerome
and the Fleurus, both Of 100 guns and $50
horse power, which are destined to replace
the old sailing vessels. These steamers
went to sea Immediately, and are probably
of Sebastopol before this time.
FRENCH VOLUNTEERS FOR THE CRIMEA.-
A letter in the London TINES from Bou-

evening previous the Generals Of Division
at the camps of HOnvault, Vimereux, Am
bleteuse, and Equihen received by tele-
graph orders from Paris to accept vOIWa-
teerS for the Crimea from every company
Of every regiment under their command,
to the number Of ten. The various compa-
nies were mustered and told that the EN-
peror desired to forward more troops to the
East, and that ten volunteers were required
from every company. In Eve minutes the
whole number stood forward. In some Of
the companies 80, in some 40, Immediately

The TEMPERATURE OF SEBAsroPoL.-
advanced state Of the season, and the pro-
liability that the allied troops will be COM
PEELED to remain longer encamped under

The latitude of Sebastopol is nearly three
degrees greater than that of Boston, new
ertheless, its mean temperature is decided,

self to show that such great depressions as
are usually known, in the Northern part Of
the United States, for several days at least,
every winter, must be unknown at Sebas-

uniform than here. The Black sea is, how
ever, celebrated for the violence Of its
storms, which were the terror Of its navi-
gators two thousand years ago, and these
storms, especially if accompanied by rain
or snow, must produce much suffering.

pounds, and proceed to the Potomac. AZ
