Beginning in the World.

There is nothing that distracts the
slumbers Of young men so much n
setting up in business. Beginning the
world brings with il many serious
thoughts. The hope of success. the
fear of disasters. the Iigamentc Of cen
derness. the feelings of revelry, all
work deeply upon the youthful mind.
and rend-r its nights restless and un
easy; there are some temper>; how
ever, that ale ever delighted with that
may be called beginning The world.
We kn a man who began business
halfa dozen times in few years, and
each time with different set of rules.
He had been erythipg for time,
but nothing long.
There is much truth and some poin,
in the above little sketch. Beginning
the world. selecting profession. and
choosing wife, are three ihin.s con
necied with life. of much difficulty and
Importance. Young men seldom give
either of them that deliberation which
is their due. The happiness OF the
world and hopes of futuriiy are con-
nected with their decision of adversely
and infamy. and their attendant con
sequences. As far as regards pro-
fession. man should never be too
hasty in his determination.
Almost every individual Of the hu.
man family has particular talent
which. when it is brought into requi
sition and applied to some exclusive
object, cannot fail to be attended with
"A commensurate success. But the
man who vaIn'y conceives that he can
succeed in every thing, seldom be-
comes eminent in any. Ii is AN ab-
surd policy to begin dozen projects
together. or even TO commence Sec
ond before the first has been rendered
materially successful.
Franklin Particularly endeavored to
convince young persons OF the neces
siIy OF forethought, integrity, and iru
gality in business. He said:
II was never discouraged by the
seeming thought that one man ct toll
cradle abilities may work great chan
ges. accomplish great affairs among
mankind. II be first forms good pan;
and cutting of all amusemenls and
employm,n's that woulL divert his at
,enlion, make the execution OF thai
plan his sole study and business. Tc
be sure. it requires some philosophy
for Young man with taste foi
pleasure. to forego all the smusemen,s
Of youth and health for the sake Of
business or professions: yet II he AS
pires to become eminent. such course
is actuslly necessary. even while We
ourselves acknowledge our inability to
practice it,"

The Festival given last evening to the Consre-
aatoral Clergymen assembled in our CITY oy sae
Anniversaries, was characterized by some OF tho
most pointed, pithy, epigrammatic speeches 20
which We ever listened. TIE remarks OF Proi'
Silliman on the relation Of Science to Religion
were in graver strain, but were equally pertinent
and bappy. Rev. Mes.rs Ward Bee oher, Verml'ye,
Thompson Butler knight, and Others, admirably
blended bumor with instruction, and both with
breyity. Such A" feast of reason" is seldom en-
joyed in this city.
But the most noticeable feature Of tho occasion
Was the warm, spontaneous, outgashins, electric
sympathy universally felt and expressed for tho
cause Of Free Kansas, and Free Labor generally.
Speakers were perpetualy betrayed into illusions
to the topic Of which their hearts were full and
the responsive applause OF their hearers would not
be repressed. Whatever hearty religion there is
in Free States, out OF the preaticaily governed
denomiL atoms, is unanimously on the side Of Free
Kansas, and will make itself felt more and more
fensiby to the end of the struggle. If tho Border
Rbffsps ard their uphOlders can make any capital
out of tbe averment they are welcome. for such is
the naked truth.
