If YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO DO, DO IT.
There is no lesson which people-men wo-
men and children-have more need to learn
than this-to do what they have to do, at
once. Young people cannot calculate the
benefit of it, while the want of it will hang
upon them all their lives long, like an incu-
bus. Our advice to boys and girls, always is
if you have but smart hours work to do,
do it in an hour and not sozzle over it all day.
In our business, if we had a boy who must
be lazy, we would urge him by all means, to
to work while did work, and make a business
of it; and then, if he must, stop, and make
business of that, too. If he is allowed or
allows himself to play the loblolly boy
through the day, he is just as sure to be a
drone as long as he lives, as he is sure to live.
Indolent habits in youth are never overcome
in manhood The world is brim full of the
illustrations of the truth of this. The same
rule applies equally to girls. The girl who
does house-work- we hope there are
some-who allows herself all the forenoon
to poke over the breakfast dishes, and finds
scanty time to get her dinner, is just as sure
to make miserable slattern of house
keeper as she is to be house-keeper at all,
and we caution all young men against the
girls who keep their breakfast dishes round
till noon. The only way is if you have any,
thing to do, do it. Nashau Telegraph.

Cleveland Plsindealer
The spirit prevailing In the convention and among the
democracy outside Of the convention admirable. There
seemed TO be disagreement about principles and platforms
The committee unanimously reported and the convention
Enthusiastically adopted, set of resolutions which have set
tied forever the principles and the policy Of the democracy

slavery. .#a
They have and all agreed 20 back TO The princi-
Piles Of the constitution embraced In the Nebraska bill and
have Incorporated the very words Of Douglas the ramer OF
said BILL into their resolutions clear and expressive
Of their sentiments that subject. This great bone of
tention being TINS settled all minor matters Of political diff
ierences disposed Of and harmony hitherto
unknown reigned throughout ranks.

THE DEMOCRATIC ADDRESS

On first page Says the Journal of Commerce} will
be found much of the address adopted by the
convention at Syracuse with only one dissenting voice
relates to slavery. This address is understood to
have been written by Nicholas Hil esq, of Albany
who, chairman of the committee reported it TO
the convention II is full Of patriotic sentiments worthy
of the palmiest days of the democracy 1t endorses
the principle Of the Nebraska law and severe in its
denunciatons against seconalism Whatever it lacks
of the full measure of conservatism prossed by the hun
kers would follow matter Of course if the latter would
meet them as friends-alienaed indeed for time but
now reconced What prevents such reconciliation to-
day? Not any substantial difference of principles but
personal resentments and ambition few leading men
of the hards ultra conservative that instead of
operating with their democratic brethren in securing the
ascendency of such principles they needs play into
the hands Of the black republicans If should please
Providence TO these few "by death other
wse' the democratic party In the State of New York
would again become unit and therefore victorious
While they continue divided nothing await them but
defeat and disgrace In several other States the oldsh
ioned democracy recovering their position Maine
New Jersey and Wisconsin have recently elected
of the right stamp and Pennsylvania has chosen
vatve democrat to the United States seuate The repub-
cans have succeeded Ia only States within the past
six months-vz: Vermont and Ohio. II Is doubtful IL
they carry any other Evidently the whole scheme of
