A YOUNG MANS CHARACTER.

No young man who has a just sense
of his W value, will sport with his own
character. A watchful regard to his
character in early youth, will be of in
conceivable value to him in all years of
his life. When tempted to deviate from
strict propriety of deportment, he should
ask himself, "Can I afford thisP Can
I endure hereafter to look back upon
this 2t
It is of amazing worth to q young
man to have a pure mind for this is
the foundation 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 eleva-
ting. Thus the mind hath in its W
power the themes of meditation. If
youth only knew how durable and how
dismal is the injury produced by the in
diligence of degraded thoughts if they
only realized how frightful were the
moral ~depravities which a cherished hab-
it of loose imagination produces on the
soul, they would shun them as the bite
of a serpent. The power of book ks to
excite the imagination is a fearful ele-
ment of moral death when employed in
the service Of vice.
The cultivation of an amiable, eleva-
ted, and glowing heart, alive to all the
beauties and all the sublimities of
truth, invigorates the intellect, gives to
the will independence of baser passions,
and to the affections that power of ad-
hesion to whatever is pure. and good,
and grand, which is adapted to lead out
the whole nature of man into those
scenes of action and impression by which
its energies may be most appropriately
employed, and by which its high desti-
nation may be most effectually reach
ed.
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 benevolent, may lux
uriate in an age like this. The prom
Uses of God are inexpressibly rich, the
main tendencies of things so manifestly
in accordance with them, the extent of
moral influence is so great, and the eff
fects of its employment so visible, that
whoever aspires after benevolent action
and reaches forth for things that remain
for is, to the true dignity of his nature
can find free scope for his intellect, and
all inspiring themes for the heart.

'Tis the merry. merry sleigh,
As it swiftly scuds along,
Hear the burst of happy Song;
See the CLEAN of chances bright,
Flashing DER the pathway white
Jingle, jingl-how it whirls,
Crowded full of pretty girls.
Jingle. jingle-fast it flies.
Shooting shafts from roguish eyes;
Cherries archers I'll be bound,
Little needing when they wound
See them with capricious pranks.
Flowing now the drifted banks.
Jingle, jingle-'mid their glee.
Who among them cares
Jingle, jingle-on they flow,
Caps and bonnets white with snow.
And the faces swimming past
Eodding through the ieecy blast;
Not q single robe they fold
To protect them from the cold.
Jingle, lngle--'mid the storm,
Fun and frolie keep them warm.
Jingle, jingle, down the hills,
Der the meadows past the mills,
Now tbs slow, now tbs fast,

Every pleasure has its time,
Spring will com and stop the chime.

For CURING HAMs.-Make a strong
brine; add one ounce of saltpetre to a
ham let them remain in the brine three
weeks; then take them out and soak in
water a few hours; then smoke. -Coun-
try Gentleman.
To PRESERVE HANS DURING SUMNER.
Slice and trim ready for cooking
pack in n stone jar, alternating a layer
of ham and lard; cover tight, and it will
keep perfectly sweet for q year.-Coun-
try Gentleman.
To CLEAN PA1Nr.-Smear a piece of
flannel with common whiting, mixed to
the consistency of ommon paste, in
warm water. Rub the surface to be
cleaned quite briskly, and wash off with
pure cold water. Grease spots will in
this way be almost instantly removed,
as we'll as other filth, and the paint will
retain its brilliancy and beauty unim-
paired.
CREosoTE FOR WARTs.-Dr. Rainey,
of st. Thomas's Hospital, London, has
written an article to the Lancet, detail
ing the effects of creosote applied to
warts. He applied it freely to al obsti-
rate warty excrescence on the finger,
then covered it over with a piece of
sticking plaster. This course he pur-
sued every two or three days for two
weeks, when the wart was found to have
disappeared, leaving the part beneath it
quite healthy. This is certainly a rem
edy which can be easily applied by any
person.
CRUsr FOR APPLE DUMPLrNGs.-Take
sifted -four witch a little salt, and pour
in boiling water enough to make a dough
stiff enough to roll out-then proceed
with the dumplings as usual. The sue
cess of this recipe will depend entirely
upon the dexterity with which it is COM
pounded. A careless or heavy-handed
COOK Will be pretty sure to fall, but II
the flour and water are lightly mingled
and lightly rolled out, the crust will be
good, and particularly acceptable to
those who object to the richness of ordi-
nary paste.-Cor. of Sat,-Post.
RECIPE FOR THE Cure OF THE BITE
OF A MAD Doc OR OTHER RAB1D AM
Keep the sore running or dis
charging matter as long as possible with
powdered verdigris busted into the
wound, and give one grain of Turpith
Mineral at a dose three times in the
day, in a little dry sugar rubbed very
fine and washed down with warm tea or
water, till the mouth is slightly affect
ed with the mercury, then stop till all
the appearance of the affection of the
mouth has disappeared; then repeat the
course in the same way. Repeat the
course three or four times in the course
of six weeks, when I consider the patient
out of danger"

SPANISH PEoPLE.-Perhaps there are
no children in the world SO beautiful as
those of the Spanish race. There is a
smoothness of skin, a richness in color,
and a thidalgo' expression to a good
age. The men loose it earlier, because,
as I believe, they are oftener of corrnpt-
ed morals and habits and these long
exercised certainly stamp their lines up
on the face. Those who are mean, lowi
and vicious, produce a similar character
f countenance ; while those which are
high and holy, and virtuous, give it an
aspect Of beauty and nobility.

DO IT YOURSELVES BOYS.

Do not ask the teacher, or some class
mate to solve that hard problem. Do
it yourself. You might as we'll let them
eat your dinner, as do your sums"
for you. It is in studying, as in eating;
he that does it gets the benefit, and not
he that sees it done. In almost any
school, I would give more for what the
teacher learns, than for what. the best
scholar learns, because the teacher is
compelled to solve all the hard problems
and answer the questions of the lazy
boys. Do not ask him to parse the diff
icult words or assist you in the p%erfor-
nance of any of your studies. Do it
yourself. Never mind, though they
look as dark as Egypt. Don't ask even
a hint from any body. Try again. Ev-
cry trial increases your ability and you
will finally succeed by dint of the very
wisdom and strength gained in the eff
fort, even though at first the problem
was beyond your skill. 1t is the study
and not the answer, that really rewards
your pains,
Look at that boy who has just suc-
ceeded, after six hours of hard study,
perhaps how his large eye is lit up
with proud JOY, as he marches to his
class. He treeds like a conqueror. And
we'll he may. Last night his lamp burn
ed late, and this morning he walked at
dawn. Once or twice he nearly gave
up. He tried his last thought; but q
new thought strikes him as he ponders
the last process. He tries once more
and succeeds; and now mark the air of
conscious strength with which he
pronounces his demonstration. His
poor weak s~choolmates who gave up the
same problem after his first faint trial,
now looks M to him with something of
wonder, as to a .sunerior being. And
he is his superior. That problem lies
there, a great gulf between those boys
who yesterday stood side by side. They
will neverst and together as equals again
The boy that did it for himself has ia
ken a stride upward, and what is better
still, has gained strength to. flake other
and greatea ones. The boy who waited
to see others do it, has lost both strength
and courage, and is already looking for
some excuse to give up school and study

Il have used WIsSERis TUB, that it is the best
and most convenient machinery for

that was ever invented. This valuable inYen-
ton has been in use nearly two years, and is
now extensively employed in nearly every
State in the Union. 1t is equally well adapted

be mentioned the HOWARD AND BROAD

also be had at Canton, Norwalk and Ashland,
where it is generally employed.
