\ FNREiGN GoyhENED Cry Tie condi-
ton Of things in New York with its Foreign
Mayor & o.ccmon, is truly dreadful and as
experience pro?es, they can have but poor
hopes Of any change for the better until Il

on the increase, and the internal scoundr,ls,
not satisfied with way'aying persons in the
street, have turned their attention to dwell

also made an attempt to choke and rob a
gentleman IN the same ho,,E, bat The cries Of
the wife and children of the intended victim

These last daring outrages have thorough.

For crown in Heavens bright realms,

Like TIE rose Of summers day,
But Las to many left a fragrance,
Which Viii not 80 soon decay.
Twas innocence that marked his path,
And love stamped all his actons hcrc,
These virtues won the hearts offriends,
Who drop for him the silent tear.
But friends why mourn the absent one,
Who lived i'll heaven free from all care;
Twcre better for ourselves to mourn,
And be prepared to meet lin there.
Why mourn that he our angel boy,
Is now secure from all car,h's SIN;
Although he's lost, and from us gone,
That loss to MS was gain to him.

The late celebration at Saltwater has done

graded and filled in at heavy expense several

and broughtto bear on some important improve

One Means Of safety.

Many young men have left the home of their
childhood to begin the world for themselves in q
city where they were strangers, with . determi-
nation to succeed and be an honor to their fami.
ly. But all have not succeeded. Some have
contracted habits of vice and intemperance, and
are now the bond slaves Of their own appstitss.-
Some have formed associations that have cor.
rupted their morals and excited the suspicious Of
community against them. Some by extravaganza
and folly have squandered all their earnings, and
as yet have accomplished no good for themselves.
All this evil any young man can avoid. and,
whilst avoiding it, bring to himself great advan-
tages. In our country, and in our young city,
every honest, industrious and virtuous young man
can, beyond all doubt. succeed and prosper in the
world. Every such young man can gain the re-
spect and confidence Of the better portion Of com.
munity. viii give you rule which will bring
this result just as surely as any rule in your
arithmetic will bring out the result for which it
is given. Become member Of some Christian
congregation. do not mean that you are to join
the church and profess to be Christian, for this
you ought not to do unless you are a Christian.
congregation, have seat or part Of a seat, which
is your own, and be seen in it regularly twice on
the Sabbath day. You should be considered as
one of that congregation. You should take an
interest in it's affairs, and do your part towards
advancing its interests. You should attend its
Sabbath School, either as teacher, officer or
learner. If possible, attend its weekly lectures,
where you will receive much profitable instruc-
ton. The advantages of such course must at
once suggest themselves to every intelligent mind.
You will soon become acquainted with the pas
tor, officers, and all the members of that church.
They will all feel interest in you, and you will
become an acquaintance in the families of the
congregation. If you are in trouble or affection,
you will have friends. You will be regarded as
q young man of good moral character, and a sin
cere respect and friendship will be felt for you.
You will be under good influences, and the week
ly incubation of the great and elevating lessons
of Christianity. This will keep you out of bad
company and away from those associations which
are ruinous to your reputation, your success in
life, and to vastly higher interests.
Now, the young man who conducts himself ac-
cording to the above rule, will be sought and
preferred by all wise people far above the who
spends his Sabbath in amusement and folly. The
young man who has such companionship, will
be preferred by all to one whose companions are
the profane, the Incorporate and the corrupt.
have not asked you to do some difficult thing !;
but what you can easily do and do now. 1t will
be pleasure to do it; it will be an honor and
profit to do it.; and it is just what your own
father and mother would have you do. aa.a
