One man subscribes for paper and pays
for it in advance he goes home and reads
it the year round, with the proud satisfac-

Another man SAYS: ssPut my name on

asks you to advertise-but says nothing
about paying for it. Time passes-your

BY JOHN MAHIN.
a WARNING To YOUNG MEN.
The fate Of the gifted Haskell, o1

Inc I6Ce OF tne SlIVeu AAdohoAi, VI
Tennessee, should be warning to all
young men. He passed through Lou
isville last week in charge of friends,
on his way to the Lunatic Asylum at
Lexington. While in the Frankfort
cars he arose, and in the most eloquent
and p athletic terms appealed to the gal
liant Kentuckians, among whom he was,
to protect him from the relentless enc
mics he imagined were pursuing him.
He became so excited and violent his
friends were forced to confne him.
The career of this gifted but unfortu-
nate son Of genius should be known
: from the lesson it teaches. From his
earliest boyhood, says the Nashville
Banner, he has shown himself possess
ed Of the highest order Of talent
While at college he distinguished HIM
self IS poet and an orator. His grad
uasing speech is spoken of by those
who heard it as worthy Of the immortal
Prentiss in his palmiest days. He serv--
ed his country on the battle field and in
the halls of Congress. It was his res
Mence at Washington that confirmed
upon him those unfortunate habits
which finally blasted his intellect. He
at one time broke the fiery serpent
from his hands, and dashed it to the
earth. To make his own reformation
complete, and aid in lifting up others
who had fallen like himself, he went
through the State lecturing on tempe
rance. The tour was an emiDently sue
cessful and brilliant one, his lectures be-
ing fully equal to those Of Cough,
whose eloquence has electrified thou
sands in this country and in England.
But his old habits gained the mastery
over him again, and his subsequent life
has been but a fearful struggle between
his appetites and his an bition-a strug
gle in which, it must be confessed, his
appetites have generally triumphed =
So great, indeed, was his appetite for
arti6cisf stimulants, that even while
delivering his temperance lectures, he
made use of drugs sufficient in quantity
and potency to burn out the vitals of
an ordinary man. There Was no sub
.ject, whether ancient or modern, grave
or gay, upon which he did not converse
with duency and eloquence. He passed,
with the most careless ease, from the
profoundest disquisition upon the doc |
trines Of the Bible, the religion Of Con-
1fucius, or the Baconian philosophy, to
the lighter literature Of the day.--Splr-
lgkte .Age.
