There is an evil habit sometimes INDUCED in

in due time, not only begets serious obstacles
TO matrimonial happiness, but gives rise TO
series of protracteG, lnsidlouS, and devastating
affections.
Few of those who give way to this PERM
cious practice are aware Of the consequences
until they find the nervous system shattered
feel strange and unaccountabe sensations, and
vague fears in the mind. (See pages 81, %

LEARN TO WORK

Whence come our greatest men Not
generally from our first honor graduates"
of the schools, nor from the field of regular
military training; but generally from among
the lnboring classes, where necessity has
taught them lessons of industry and econo-
my. 1t is singular that the world almost
always looks in the wrong direction for the
uprising mighty men TO meet the exigencies
of the times. While they look to the top
of the mountain expecting to see some
of glory, they are suddenly surprised by
hearing the shouts of the multitude in the
vale below, pouring forth their plaudits
upon some original genius. who rises supe-
instructions in his pathway. Whenever
circumstances require that some e liant in
tcllcct should rise to meet some peculiar
emergency of the times, where an iron
will and an umflinching nerve alone can be
trusted. it is from the working men of the
world that such characters are taken. Your
nice young fop, skilled in sporting a gold
headed cane, or in giving q moustache the
.ht curl. is never the man for an impor-
tant work. The children of your fasion-
able women are milk-sop heroes, are never
fit for stations where responsible and i'm
portnnt duties are to be performed. Why,
then. should n young man he afraid or
ashamed to work Why should not every
man look with contempt upon idle loungers
in society! The true secret of all great
ness lies in the combination of an honest
heart with an Industrious Clinton
MdcPcRdent.

SALT IN OHIo.-The manufacture of self

five salt furnaces which manufacture thirty
thousand barrels annually. The quality is

tered the State suffered much for the wan,
of salt. All they used was brought over the
Mountains on pack horses, and was sold fol
eight and ten dollars the bushel. Money
was scarce, and there were not many ways by
which it could be obtained 1T all. In n
biography of Capt. George Ewing Of this
state. brother of the Hon. Thomas Ewing
of Chio--who came with the first settlers
across the Ohio--itis said he worked 30 days

The people paid thus dear for this absolute
necessity. while III, brine fran which The
enormous quantities of sal. mentioned above
are now manufactnrel-was flowing under

make them reveal it. At last friendly
