ADVICE TO Bots.EWe like an active

of the steamboat in him.
A lazy, plodding, snail paced char

ceeds the best in every line of business
who has the most OF "do or die" in him
g. Strive, boys, to catch the spirit of the
timcs--be up and dressed always, NOT
gaping and rubbing your eyes, as if you
were half asleep; but wide awake for
whatever may turn up, and you will be
somebody before you die.
Think, plan, reflect as much as you
please before you act-b but think quickly
and closely, and when you have fixed your
eye upon any object, spring to the mark
at once.
But above all things BE honest. If

THE GREAT PIc-NIc.-The picnic in Mrs.
Hollingsworth woods on Wednesday night
is represented to have been one of the most
brilliant assemblages of the kind ever held
in all this part Of the country. The youth
and loneliness of the county were there in
large numbers, while Delaware, Baltimore
Kent and other places furnished theis q uotas
Of beauty and gallantry.
From what we learn the whole arrange
mcnts seem to have been of a highly liberal
and extensive character. The platform for
daucing was so by 4sfeet, bri lliantly illumi-
mated. The music was of the best order,
Hassler's celebrated full band from Phlade-
phia, having been engaged for the occasion.
AS many as 81 sets of cotillions. or PIG per
sons were dancing at once. The supper was
uruished by celebrated caterer from Phila.,
by which arrangement the managers were
relieved from any concern on that account.
The dancing closed at IL o'clock, midnight,
and the whole large company left the ground,
expressing their delight with all the arrange
ments.
