Young gentleman of high-toned moral character ;
has taught private school several years, giving
entire satisfaction to oil his patrons.

for the position, and that We have been fortunate
in securing the services of one go eminently suit
ed to the business.

building will be enlarged, and every aecommoda-
ton afforded that can add to the comfort Of the
students, or facilitate their progress.

TAKE HOLD.

What are you looking down for? Hold
up your head The world is just as wide
to you as to others, and you are just as good
as any one-take hold Remember the
mind is full set with jewels, created there
and only obscured by the thin vapors that
melancholy dreams beget. What foolish
dreams Take hold and wait not for cir
cumstances, those limpiug door-keepers of
renown, expecting to gain their favor by
standing still-take hold and make circum-
stances wait upon you-treat them as your
slaves. Look out no longer from the dull
chambers of slumberiug genius upon the
world at labor, but go forth and take hold
see how the busy millions work They are
earning their daily bread and storing away
the crumbs If active hands can bring COM
fort, wealth and position, what cannot active
minds do? If the grosser part of mans
structure can sustain the vitality of the whole,
what cannot the polished members of the
inner temple perform?
Take hold and let the mind labor; hire it
out to desirable object and keep it bent
over its duty, like the smith over his anvil,
from the dawn until the lamps of the frma-
nent are lit, and until Incidence has long
been upon the journey of sleep. Let mis-
fortune come let envy blow upon you its
poisonous breath, and taint your sphere
with calumny; let age spread thick his
wrinkles, and failure roll rocks and doods
into your path-heed them not, take hold
and hold on and though you are forced
to lodge with ruin until it makes you grey,
60 forward and let the great object of your
hope be the sole object of your life.
Take hold the glory of purpose is its
accomplishment. Never sacrifice principle
for gold, nor honesty for office, and never
hesitate to run race when the reward is
great Obtain first by your hands that
which will obtain honest 6read-then feed
the mind. And always think and feel that
you are as good as others. Why, when it
was said, ''let US make man after our own
image" the great mould was not broken,
and Adam left the only cast No, all have
the secret impress of the Deity; and the
stamp of that sublime image makes the
man, and bids him claim the right of being
called Man indeed.

How TO BE HAppIER.-Said venerable
farmer, some eighty years ago, to relative
who had lately visited him, ri have lived
on this farm for more than half a century.
I have no desire to change my residence as
long as I live on earth. I have no desire
to be richer than I new AMI. I have wor-
SHIPPED the God of my fathers with the same
people for more than forty years. During
that time have rarely been absent from the
sanctuary on the Sabbath, and have never
lost one communion season. have never
been confined to my bed by sickness sim
gle day. The blessings of God have been
richly spread around Inc, and made up my
mind long ago that ifI wished to be happier
I must have more religion"

THE APATHY OF THE SOUTH.

The startling events rapidly transpiring
every day, seem to have little Or no effect
on the torpid condition of the Southern
mind. The farmer continues to plough,
plant and sell, and grow rich and comforta-
Bile; and thinks little of the dangers tha,
menace his health The mechanic labors
on as usual, and casts but little thought
on the scenes that daily meet his vision
The professional man keeps to his practice,
making and amassing fortune, and throws an
equally careless glance at public affairs, ca
sy in the conviction that all will yet come
right The merchant is busy in his arrange
ments for the fall trade, and wakes fat and
comfortable in the assurance of the glitter
ing profit the prospect holds out. The vo-
:ary of pleasure beguiles his hours at the
various fountains of health and gayety,
needless of the thunder-mu.tering with
which every gale from the North comes
frighted.
And so with almost the entire population
at the South. Apathy, torpor, rigid indif-
ference seem literally to have frozen the
thoughts and stifened the limbs of our peo-
pie. Either they are ignorant Of the crisis
that lowers about them, or they are too cow
ardly to meet it. 1t must be ignorance
we cannot believe it is the want of spirit
What is the spectacle on which they are
asked to look?
At Washington reckless band of political
Thugs have their feet firmly set on the
wheels of Government, declaring that it
moves only on the condition of an abolition
rider that involves gross violation Of the
federal constitution. With hoarse shouts
they tell the Senate, the South, and the Ex-
ecutive to yield to their demands, or they
will plunge the country into revolution. The
Senate meets and the sages and patriots of
the Union declare these the darkest days the
republic has ever seen.
From Kansas all the accounts are of civil
war 6ercely raging throughout the territory.
The Government troops in the course of a
few days will have to be withdrawn, and the
only check on the hyena appetites of the
free State fanatics will be removed. The
horde of licentious conspirators now hover
ing on the Southern border of Iowa, in
waiting for this event, will be duly advis-
ed of its occurrence, and let loose into the
territory, and then will butchery and car
naoe On ON in GOOD earnest.

Power OF TNsT1NcT.-The sluggish sea
turtle loves her home. A huge creature of
this kind was caught by English sailors near
the island of Ascension, who burnt name
and date into its upper shell. On the way
to England it fell sick, and from the sheer
piety it was thrown overheard in the English
channel. Two years later the same turtle
was captured once more, now quite well,
near its old home, Ascension. What strange
and inexplicable home sickness carried the
slow heartless creature 1900 miles back
through 'fhe ocean where there is no track
and no high roads ?"-Putnom.

AN EDIToR's LABoR.-A gentleman
who formerly conducted weekly paper,
writes to friend who has recently assum-
ed the charge of daily paper, as follows:
"You must live in and for the paper
There is no escape from this voluntary and
yet lifelong slavery. For now nearly ten
years have know the willing, voluntary,
unbrok4n service which the true servant of
a free press must render. My weekly charge
has been more than I could bear; and often,
like the slave described with such pathetic
eloquence by Job, have Ionged for the
shodow' which tells the hour of the rest.
Feeling thus with respect to the weekly
press, how can but fear for you, my broth
er, my friend, when you bind yourself in
six-fold bonds? How little do the majori-
ty of readers of newspapers know of the ex-
penditure of thought-of the labor of the
head and brain and hands, which goes to
make up that which ministers to their high
est wants And also, how many truths,
thought out with brain throes, pass unnoted,
unobserved, even if not received with relent-

an Indian maiden dies, they imprison a
young bird until in first begins to try its
powers of song, and then loading it with
kisses and caresses, they loose its bonds over
the grave, in the belief that it will not fold
its wings nor close its eyes until it has flown
to the spirit land and delivered its precious
burden to the loved and lost. It is not un-
frequent to see twenty or thirty birds let loose
