EIGHTEEN YEARS OLD--There is a period in the life of every young man, over which to pass safely requires the most skillful navigation To double this point is more dangerous to the mor- al character than for navigator to double Cape Horn. The whirlpool of pride and the quick sands of selfconceit, yawn upon them, and are to the young man what Scylla and Charybdis were to the ancients. This period is from sixteen to twenty-one years of age, and during this time a young man is subject to what is commonly called the "eghteen year old fe- yern though, owing to the precocity of some, they are attacked as early as sixteen. The cf- fects of this disease are altogether different from those morbid complaints to which the hu- man system is subject :; instead of wasting away. it produces a general imitation of the in- teIlect, if may SO express it, which renders inc subject more like bladder filled with wind, than rational being.
 A young man under the influence of this dis ease, is a perfect wiseacrc he is too knowing to learn from the experience of age; he knows best what is his own interest his parents and all who have gone before him, are in his opir- ion, fools he imagines himself to be the first of a very wise generation, and therefore COL strues every friendly admonition into an at tempt to cocrcc him or to abridge his privileges. He discovers the down of puberty upon his chin, and believes that the application of a razor to his phiz would put on the finishing touch ; for if he has beard and slaves, he must of fcoursc be c man and above all, the ladies dislike a beardless man.
