Counsels for the Young.

Never be east down by irihes. If spider
breaks his thread iwenty times, twenty times
he will mend i, again. Make up your mind to
do thing and you will do it. Fear moi if a
trouble comes upon you; keep up your spirits,
thongh the day be a dark one.
II the sun is going down, look up 10 the
stars If the earth is dark. keep your eyes on
heaven With Gods presence and God s
promises, man or child may be cheerful
Fight hard against hasty temper. Anger
will come, but resist i, strongly. A spark may
set a'house on fire. A ht of passion may give
you cause to mourn all the days of YOUR life
Never revenge an injury.
n you have an enemy act kindly ~ him. and
make him your friend. Yon may not win him
ever at once. but try again. Let one Kindness
be followed BY another, till you have compass
ed your esd. BY little and BY little great
raings are completed : aud SO repeated kind
ness will soften heart Of siene.

OpIUM EATING. Among the evil practices
abroad in this community, opium eating de-
serves to be mentioned, both on account of its
extent, which is much greater than is gener-
ally supposed, and its pernicious Influence
We happened to know, the other day, OF a
drugstore in a back street, that had SIX regu-
lar opium customers and upon further en-
quiry, we found that nearly all the second class
drug dealers had more or less of this sort OF
customers, who are females, almost without
exception. Persons addicted to the habitual
use Of either opium or laudanum, endeavor to
avoid notice by patronizing small shops, and
purchasing such insignificant quantities at a
number of different places, as to avoid suspi-
cion. The habit is commonly formed during
a period of illness, (as the drug, at first, is
very offensive to the taste,) and, by Hot being
abandoned on recovery, becomes strengthened
by indulgence. 1t produces dreamy sensa-
ton, serving to release the victim from the
pressure of ordinary cares and perplexities,
and affords an artificial refuge for which un-
aided nature does not provide. The subjects
of this vice are noticeable from the dull, beary
aspect of their countenances, sallow COM
pexion, and haggard frames. The practice
should be universally frowned upon and repu-
diated.-N. Y. Journal of Commerce.

A Worsted Tradesman.

A man some six feet three inches,in height
and of hsrculean build, went into the place of
one of the Worches,er shop-keepers, and asked
If they had got any 'whirers, that Is, stock
ings without feet.
No. said The shop-keeper; 'but we have
got some famous big and strong stockings, as
will just suit such man as you.
Let's have look at 'em.' said tho
The counter was Immediately covered with
quantity. The working Hercules selected
the largest pair, and said =
Whats the price of them1'
Four shiIings and ninepence, was tho re-
joinder.
Can you cut the feet off of them 2 was the
next query.
Oh, certainly said the shop-keeper.
Then JUS, cut them off, was the laconic
direction.
No sooner said than done. The long shears
were applied, and instantly the stockings were
fbotless.
And what's the price of 'em now = asked
The customer, with all the composure imag-
inabe
Price of them now = echoed the worsted
merchant, surprised beyond measure at the ab-
surdity of the question; why, four shillings
and ninepence, to be sure"
-Four shi1lings and ninepence ? exclaimed
fiie purchaser; never gave but one shilling
and sixpence for a pair of 'whirlerss in my
lfe.'
And he laid down the amount upon this
counter.
Well replied the tradesman, chopfallen
and fairly outwiued, throwing the mutilations
at him. take them, and be off with you =
You've Shiried me this time, but En- take good
care that neither you nor any of your roguiss
gang shall do il again, as lung as live.'

HIcKoRY-NuT OIL.-Hickory-nut OIL con-

Warren Estahrook, Of Dayton, in this State
temperature, and it does not gum like the or
binary qualities of oil 1t is used in very deli
cate machinery, and when properly refined
could be used by watchmakers. The pig-nut is
preferred in the manufacture, on account of its
thin she'll, and greater abundance of oily ma
terial Mr.. Estabrook believes that oil manu-
featured from the ordinary shell bark, and
large sweet hickory nut, would come into gen.
eral use for the table.-Toledo (O.) Repubh-

Cultivation Of Squashes.

John Mckee, OF Bristol, VT, has kindly
furnished us with his method of cultivation, az
follows =
As soon as the grsund is warm enough to
insure quick termination, dig, on southern
exposure, holes two feet deep, and two feel
apart each way, excluding the bottom soil and
retaining the: top. The holes should be flled
within ten inches of the top with well-rotted
hog or stable manure the former ! prefer.
The holes should then be filled up with the
TOP soil taken out, and be allowed to remain
three or four days, till the hills are thoroughly
warmed before planting the seed. Care should
be taken to plsnt the seeds at the proper depth
to insure their coming up-in warm, dry
soil, from two to three inches in cold, wet
soil from one to two inches deep.
AS soon as the plants appear above the sur
face, place four bricks, blocks of wood or a
small box large enough to place pane Of
glass upon: this will force them along rapidly,
and protect them from the depredations of the
bugs, &c. They should be watered once day,
ill large enough TO dispense with covering,
being careful not to apply cold spring water,
or at time when the sun shines upon them.
Morning or evening should be set apart for
this. l think one good healthy plant in the
hill sufficient, as it will produce larger squash
es. When the plants begin to cover the
ground, cut off all the runners from the main
vine except the one nearest the root, as these
will set first and produce the best. Not more
than one or two squashes should be allowed to
grow on a vine. Soap suds or liquid manure
is good for them while growing, being careful
not to apply it too strong, or on the leaves

Last season P-was attacked with tire chol-

The appended negro story, copied from a
Southern correspondent of the Boston Journal
is not bad =
General gave his black man, Sawney,
funds and permission to get quarters worth
of Zoology at a menagerie, at the same time
limiting to him the striking affinity between
the Simia and Negro races. Our sable friend
soon found himself under the canvass, and

seized of bright idea, he extended his hand
with a genuine Southern How-dy, uncle.'-
The ape clasped the negro's hand and shook
it long and cordially.
Sawney then piled his new acquaintance
with interrogatories as to his name, age, ma
tivity and former occupations, but eliciting nc
replies beyond a knowing shake of the head
or merry twinkle OF the eye, (he ape was
probably meditating the easiest way of tweak-
ing the darkie's nose) he concluded the ape
was bound to keep non-committal, and looking
cautiously around, chuckled out, He, he, ye

LEGAL INTEREST IN THE UNITED STATES
In iwenty-one of the States, the legal rate of
interest is six per cent? in four States it is
seven per cent. in Texas and Alabama it is
eight per cent; In Louisiana it is five per
cent; and in Mississippi it is ten per cent
California has no usury laws. The Banker S
Magazine says: There are various States that
permit higher rate Of interest on special con-
tracts, viz; In Vermont seven per cent may be
charged tn railroad bonds; in New Jersey
seven per cent. may be charged in Jersey City
and in the township OF Hoboken; in Maryland
the penalty is matter of some doubt. in con-
sequence of late decision of Judge fancy,
which does not, however, meet the assent of
the bar of Baltimore; in Arkansas ten per cent.
may be charged on special contracts; in Illinois
the banks may charge seven per cent, and ten
per cent may be charged between individuals
on special contracts; in Iowa ten per cent. is all
lowed on special contracts, in Louisiana, eight
per cent. may be charged; in Michigan and
Ohio, contracts IN writing are legal to charge
ten per cent. in Texas twelve per cent. may
be charged on special contracts. The penal
ties for violation of the usury laws is different
in most Of the States. In Michigan there is
no penalty; in Massachusetts and New Hamp-
shire the usurer forfeiis three times the whole
interest; in Maine the excess of interest is not
recoverable; in Vermont and Rhode Island the
excess may be recovered back; in Connecticut
there is forfeiture of all the interest Bahi-

Gods Goodness.

Gods Goodness.
Through all our lives the Lord hath been
Our constant. faithful guide
He's fed us from his bounteous store,
And all our wants supplieds
Yetwe, the objects Of his love,
Have scarcely raised our thoughts above.
From year to year his sleepless eye
Hath seen our crooked way,
As from the straight and narrow path,
Our feet have gone astray;
But still in love he's ordered all,
And suffered not our feet to fall.
His still small voice we've often heard
Inviting us to give
Attention to his holy word
70 look to him and live;
But ah. how slow to hear that voice,
How loath to make the better choice.
And that our lives have al. been spent,
Regardless of his care
Ungrateful for the proffered goodJ
As all our fathers were;
'Tis wondrous grace in God to give
Admission for such souls to live
Then if perchance there's one been found
To raise wishful eye,
For blessings which the gospel gives,
How soon he's heard the cry:
Thrice welcome such have always been,
And ceans'u from all the stains of sin.
Shall we wbo've learned the way of life,
Refuse that grace divine,
Which fits our souls in heasen to dwell,
And in his presence shines
Forbid it. Lord. that thou shouldst see
Vain earthly joys preferred to thee. R.

The Flowers of the Vale.

Old Scotia may sing of her lasses so braw.'
And call them the finest the world ever saw;
But who can believe such an o'eiweening tale,
That have looked, as have l, on the "FLowERs
OF THE VALEs
BY the shore of the long flowing river Of pines,
That glitters in winter, in summer that shines.
They spring in their beauty like primroses pale.
As pure and as sweet are the FLowERs OF THE
VALE.
The realms of the East, and the climes Of the
sun,
Have claimed beauty's prize, but, good faith |!
have they won
You may tell the marines, if you please, such a
tale,
But tn prize I'll award to the FLOWERS OF rHK

Ye have been, it may be, in some garden all
fair
With the blooms of the tropics. SO costly and
rare;
would fail
To bless and delight like the FLowERs or THE
