RED FLANNEL SHIRTs.--Put it
on at once, winter or summer; nothing
better can be worn next the skin than
a loose, red, woollen shirt; loose, for
it has room to move on the skin, thus
causing a titilation which draws the
blood to the surface and keeps it there;
and when that is the case no one can
take cold; red for white flannel fills
up, mats together and becomes tight,
stiff, heavy and imperVious. Cotton
wool merely absorbs the moisture
from the surface, while woollen fam
mel conveys it from the skin and depol
sits it in drops on the outside of the
shirt, from which the ordinary cotton
shirt absorbs it, and by its nearer ex>
posure to the air, it is soon dried with
out injury to the body. Having these
properties, red woollen flannel is worn
by sailors even in the midsummer OF
the hottest countries. Wear a thin'
ner material in summer. Hunts Jouri

a Young Mann's Character.

No young man who has a just sence OF
his own value will sport with his own
character. A watchful regard to his
character III early youth will be of incon-
ceivable value to him in all the remaining
years of his life. When temptedto deyiate
from strict proprIety of department, he
should ask himself, Can afford this b
Can | endure hereafter to look back on
this 2
1t is of amazing worth to young man
to have pure mind; for this is the founda-
ton of a pure character. The mind, in
order to be kept pure, must be employed
in topics of thought which are themselves
lovely chastened and eIevating. Thus
the mind hath in its own power the selec-
ton of its themes of meditation. If youth
only know how durable and how dismal is
the injury produced by the indulgence of
degraded thought, if they only realized
how frightfnl were the moral deprayities
which a cherished habit of lose inagina-
ton produces on the soul, they would
shun them as the bite of serpent. The
power of books to excite the Imagination
is fearful element of moral death when
employed in the service Of vice.
The cultivation ofan amiabIe, elevated
and glowing heart, alive to all the beauties
of nature and all the subimities of truth,
invigorates the intellect, gives to the will
independence of baser passions, and to
the affections that power Of adhesion TO
whatever is pure and good and grand,
which is adapted to lead out the whole
nature of man into these SCIENCES of ac-
ton and impression by which its energies
may be most appropriately employed and
by which its high destination may be
most effectualIy reached.
The opportunities for exciting these
faculties in benevolent and self.denying
efforts for the welfare of our fellow-men
are so many and great, that it is really
worth while to live. The heart that is
truly evangelically benevocent, may luxu-
riate in an age like this. The promises
of God are inexpressibly rich, the main
tendencies of things so manifestly in ac-
cordance with them, the extent of moral
influence is so great, and the effects of
its employment so visible, that whoever
aspires after benevolent action and rea-
ches forth for things that remain for us,
to the true dignity of his nature, can find
free scope for his intellect, and all linspir-
ing themes for the heart.
