It and carry ont to their legitimate ez

t involved in these suggestions an

scribed, you will be required to US
: much self denial. You will hear th
. whisperings of indolence-lullin,
you to repose. The enticing bow
may tempt you to partake. BooI
companions may invite you to par
ticipate with them in their revelry
Thousands will be the temptations tc
lead you away from the straight path
which ] have marked out; you must
prepare to meet these temptations,
and be certain to overcome them,
you can do it if you wiN but try.
Listen not to the voice of pleas.
ure. She will often look at you With
the most bewitching smiles and
speak to you 10 the most touching
tones-and ere you are aware, she
will steal away ) our heart and lead
you captive at her will. But do not
let her thus get the advantage of
you. Be upon your guard. Watch
her maneuverings. Brace your.
selves up and be men. Be ready to
meet her at any point from which
she would approach you. Remem-
Der that she is sly and wily-that
she has ensnared her thousands and
will ensnare her thousands more. -
Ensconce yourselves as it we're in a
case Of adamant and there remain
impervious to her influence. When
she would tempt you look at her
with withering frown and say to her
with earnestness and authority "Get
thee behind me, Satan"
Your future course is before you.
You may make it bright and glori-
Gus or obscure and ignoble. In the
distance high upon an eminence the
temple of fame rears its magnificent |
proportions. There it stands full in
view, with open portals, and you
have but to .ess on and up to enter
it. In your ascent you must not ex-
pect to glide up with smoothness and
ease, but prepare to encounter many
rough and difficult places Here you
will find huge stone to remove
there deep rayiue to cross and a
rugged steep to surmount; but keep
in mind, "no sweat no sweet"--ply |
your efforts with "lusty sinews" and
success will be yours. Others have
Lriumphed over all impediments, and
reached the temple, and why may |
not you? What has been done once
Ne feel assured can be done again.
ELVES of great men all remind us
That zee may make our lives sublime,
And departing leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time"
Discharge your duties, moral, civil,
social and religious-Prove true to
yourselves, your country, mankind,
md your God and you will have full
filed life's great mission. In the
beautiful language Of Bryant
So live that when thy summons comes to join
The innumerable caravan, that moves
70 the pale realms of shade, when each shall !
His chamber in the silent halls of death. T
Then go not like the quarry slave at night
Scourged to his dungeon; but sustained and
soothed
By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave,
Like one who wraps the drapery Of his couch
About him. and lies down to pleasant dreams.

THE EAST INDIES ScUADRoN.-We ap-
prehend that there is a strong contest for
The command of the American squadron
now in the Chinese seas, in progress here;
quite a number of distinguished naval Cap
tsins being ambitious for the position. By
the time the relief destined for that service
can get out there the term of Commander
Armstrong, on that station, will have ex-
pired, and under the regulations Of the ser
vice he will, in all probability, be recalled
Some of the Northern papers spake of the
alleged determinations Of the Department
to send Commodore Perry out to relieve
him We doubt the fact; in somuch as he
was so lately in command Of that station
il not being usual to return m officer so
soon TO a station from which he so recently
returned 1t is understood that Commo-
dOre ?. has been busily engaged for some
time in affording the Department inrorma-
ton concerning its affairs in that quarter
oil the world, the result Of his experience
there, In that matter his presence here at
this time has, doubtless, been of great val
ue to the public interest, for he is q very
competent gentleman indeed, in all bran
ches Of bis profession.
By the by, we hear that the Boston mer-
chants, greatly interested in trade with
China, have petitioned that Captain G olds-

which the next breath of wind might oblit
crate. Who can account for tins strange
procedure Will it comport at all with the
idea that he was an impostorl Did ever
an impostor pursue course like this New
er. And it seems 10 us that in the single
fact TO which We have alluded, there is the
impress of truth, and proof that his mission
is all divine. lie stands out before us as
one who knows that his mission is from
God, and that it can stand upon its own
merits So confident is he of its power, that
he Is content to breathe it out upon Gods
air, and leave it to live 10y its own Inherent
and selfperpetuating immortality, or live
not at all. And SO he goes about doing
good, now teaching in the synagogue and
temple, now talking to bis disciples as he
sits on Olivet or by the sea of Gailee, and
now dropping word as he walks by the
way. And there is not manifested the
slightest apprehension that what he SAYS
will be lost. He writes it not on stone or
parchment. Nay, he writes it not at ALL
lie seeks only to give it a lodglnent in the
hearts of the few disciples that followed him
TO make them comprehend it, and feel its
power, and love it; and is willing to leave it
there to produce its fruits, and to be written
by the hand of affection, If it should be writ
ten at all. And on those hearts he did i'm
press himself; and they, for the love they
bore him, wrote the meagre sketch we have
of his life and teachings. ....

Home and Friends.
On there's power to make each hour
As sweet rs heaven designed it.;
Nor need we roam to bring it home,
Though few there be that find it.
We seek too high for things close by,
And loose what nature found us:
For life hath here no charm so dear
As home and friends around us.
We oft destroy the present JOY '
For future hopes-an1 praise them;
While flowers as sweet bloom at our feet
If we'd but stoop to raise them.
For things afar still sweeter are
When youths bright spell hath boand us
But soon we're taught the earth has naught
Like home and friends around us.
The friends that speed in time of need,
When hopes last reed is shaken, .-
Will show us still that come what will, ..
We are not quite forsaken; .r.
Though all were night IL but the light
From friendships altar crown'd us,
'Twould prove the bliss of eartl. was this,
Our home and friends around us.

Christ no Writer.

One Of the most remarkable facts in the
history Of Christ is, that he left no writings
behind him, and the only record there is Of
his writing anything is in the case where
abe stopped down and with his finger wrote
upon the ground" What he wrote then
aud .here no one knows; though perhaps
the most plausible conjecture is that he wrote
the answer to the question, whether the wo.
man taken in the act of adultery should be
stoned 81 lie that is without sin among
you, let him cast stone at her." Uearer,
did this strange fact ever occur to you, that
the greatest reformer that ever lived--pro
fessedly the divine teacher sent Of God to
reveal his truth to the world-whose teach
ings have survived the wreck of ages, and
now command the credence, the respect and
the most profound admiration Of the en-
lightened world, and who is claimed as the
"auihor and fnisher" of great system of
faith aud practice, has left behind him no
sentence of his writing, and those unknown
characters written with his finger in the sand
constitute the sum total OF all his writings
Of which there is any account Off
n Is there, or has there been, since the IN
ven.iou of letters, or even rude bieroglyph-
les, any such thing "a system of religion,
whose founder did not take special pains to
reduce his teachings to writing, and thus
give them the most, exact and permanent
form? EH
The Brahmins have their Vedas, their
Pourapas, their Ramayan, and their laws
and institutes of Menu, and these are all
written and preserved with the utmost care.
The Chinese have their books of Fohi, their
founder, as opened and expounded by their
great Confucius. The Persians have their
Zendevesta, attributed to their leader, Zorro
aster, containing the doctrine and laws of
their religion. The Jews had their sacred
books and Moses and the prophets, and
David. aud Soio.ispIi, ps;s ssa,s;s teachings in
wiring that they might be preserved.
Plato and Pythagoras, and Cicero and
Demosthenes, wrote much. Mahomet wrote
tie Koran, and gave it TO the faithful as
their guide. The writings Of Swedenborg
are voiumdnous and in our day, even the
Mornon in1postor wrote his book of Nor.

cedepce even to Moses and Abraham, and
especially claims: that a greater than Solo
mon in his own person, and announcing
himself as herald Of a new dispensation
from God, which Is TO cast Moses AMI the
prophets IN the shade, and prevail over All
other systems, and snbdue our entire race
