Keep your Eye on your Nelghbors.

Take care of them. Don't let them
stir without watching. They may do
something wrong if you do. To be sure
you never knew them to do anything very
bad, but it may be on your account they
have not. Perhaps, if it had not been for
your kind care they might have disgraced
themselves and families long time ago.
Therefore don t relax any effort to keep
them where they ought to be; never mind
your own business that will take care Of
| itself. There is man passing along
there he is looking over the fence into his
neighbours garden-be suspicious of him,
perhaps he contemplates stealing some
thing some of these dark nights; there's
no knowing what queer fancies he may
have got into his head. If you see any
SYMPTOMS of any one walking out Of the
path, tell every one else that You can see,
and be particular to see great many.
| 1t is good way to circulate such things,
and though it may not benefit yourself,
or any one else particularly, it Will be
something equally important about some
one else. Do keep something going ST.
lence is "a dreadful thing, though it is said
| there was silence in the Courts of Heaven
| for the space of half an hour don't let
any such occur on earth; it would be too
much like Heaven for the inhabitants of
this mundane sphere If, after all your
watchful care you can't see anything out
4 of the way in any one, you may be sure
it is not because they have not done any
thing bad; perhaps, in an unguarded mo-
meat, you lost sight OF them-throw out
hints they are no better than they should
be = that you, should not wonder if
ipsople found out what they were after

i heads so high. Keep it going, and
some one will take the hint, and begin to

Oliver Milikin is as much of wag as
a musician, and to make his waggery more
successful, he affects the dress and manner
OF Clergyman. With his white cravat
and sober black coat, he makes net bad
imitation He was at one of the hotels
in Springfield, few days ago, and his
decidedly clerical appearance attracting
the attention of the company as they sat
down to dinner, he was called upon to ask
a blessing. He did not refuse, and got
on very well fer sentence or two; but
when he came toward the conclusion, he
found, as it was his first attempt, that he
was utterly unable to remember the usual
manner of closing such an exercise. AT
ter hesitating a moment, he recollected
the usual subscription of his letters, and
he brought his brief petition TO close by
adding, with great solemnity, ]" Y ours

A RICH LETTER.

The following letter comes to us as a
waif We are assured that, notwithstand-
ing the Mr.. EpIToRn with which it
commences, it Was not originally address
ed to us. We have only to say to the
"young men" that if they feel aggrieyed
by it, they shall be permitted to reply;
provided, their reply is as well got up as
this letter.--Ed. Spirit.
Mr.. EDITOR Il know that my educa-
ton will not justify me in writing an arti-
Gle for your paper; but when inform you
that have been tempted to do so for the
last two or three years, and that this
temptation has become SO strong that it is
out of my power to resist it any longer,
you will undoubtedly excuse me for any
thing l may have to say.
| Now I would be sorry to incur the dis
| pleasure of the young men. but must say
here, that l believe it to be the duty Of
every one Of them to get married, and not
to be eternally counting without ever
bringing the thing to focus.
1t is shame the way the ladies arc
treated by some of the gentlemen! They
know that as general thing they are more
independent than the ladies--they can
board at the tayern--buy their clothes
ready-made, hire them washed-have nice
clean beds to sleep in, and live apparently
perfectly at ease while the world has not
provided such homes and such privileges
for the ladies whenever they may wish to go
/ Hence it is that the ladies in genera
way may be more ready to exchange The
state of single 6lessedness for that of con
aubiai felicity than the gentlemen. Bu
/ wish to have it understood that am al
exception to this general rule and that
am just as Independents as any of the gen
tlemen dare be. Yet at the same time
wopld be willing to so modify this indie
pendent spirit, es to accommodate it t.
the "hgher law, which makes it the dut,
of the man and the woman to become o.
one. And here l would say that believ,
it to be Al christian duty to be so united
second perhaps to but few others embodied
in the Sacred writings.
But what | want to get at is siInpl,
this: There are several young men in thi
little village who have been eourting nearI'
as long as [ can rccollect, and are no
married yet and these very same beon,
to church, and are considered by man,
our :" finest young menP' Now l believ
4 it TO be absolutely wicked the way the,
carry on. A young man in ordinary cir
cumstaness will commence paying his re
i spects to a young lady; his visits will b
regular, and his intention, doubtless pur
and genuine; at length, however, the re
f port goes abroad that Mr.. A and Mis-
B. are going to get married. when il
