YOUNG AMERICA.

Prominent among the evils Of our day is
the disposition to put away old things, even
things that are stamped with the wisdom Of
ages, and to see only by the new lights OF
progress. With many, it seems, the chief
thing we have learned in forty centuries, is
that we have learned nothing worthy of re-
spect. Young America is rampant in the
flush and vigor Of youth, and arrogant in
self-sufficiency. Il attempts with a bound
things that are accustomed to be achieved
only by years OF toll, and boasts Of capa-
bility for everything, except q wholesome
restraint. Gray wisdom and reverend virtue
are iostled in the highway. to make room
for the rush Of progress, as IL the race were
always to the swift, and the battle to the
strong. And Young America, ladies', is a
noun Of the common gender. II is feminine,
as well as masculine, and may be seen in
bonnet and curis, as well as in Kossuth hat
and moustache. II goes to all the balls and
routs, and thinks il " fast peeps in the
library door at home, and votes il decidedly
" slow" Ii lounges lazily in the parlor, and
modestly asks its mother to hand the foot
stool, or its father TO pass the new book he
is Just reading and only really wakes up

Schneider, of Richmond, Indiana, swallow
ed bean which lodged in her windpipe
Medical aid was called in Immediately, but
it could not be extracted it was found to
have made its way toward the lungs. For
a day or two after the accident the child
seemed as though she could not live from
one hour to another She then became APP
parently quite well, and was playful She
continued SO until Saturday the 25th ult.,
when while seated on the floor engaged
with her playthinss, she was suddenly
seized with a fit of coughing, and strangled
to death IN a moment. 1t is supposed that
the bean was thrown up from the lungs in
coughing, and lodging in the windpipe
caused her death. She was fine healthy
child, about ten months old.

11Sgll D A NlOUS,
LAYING Up FOR CHILDREN.


Parental affection naturally inquiries what
it can best do for the welfare of It's chill
dren in future years, and when the bosom
which now throbs with love to its offspring
shall be cold in death Many plans are
laid and hours of anxious solicitudc are
spent in contriying ways and means Of
rendering children prosperous and happy
in future life. But parents are not always
wise in the provisions which they seek to
make for their children; nor do they al
ways seek direction and counsel from God
in this matter The best inheritance for
children beyond all contradiction, is true
piety towards God-the salutary truths and
principles of religion, laid up in the hearts
Of children--a good education and
yirtuous habits-unbending principles of
moral conduct-the fear of God and the
hope Of heaven This is the best iiheri-
tance for children, and which all parents
should be anxious to lay up for them
Many an unwise parent works hard, and
lives sparingIy all his life, for the purpose
of leaving enough to give his children a
start in the world, as it is called Setting
a young man afoat with money left him by
his relative is like tying bladders under the
arms of one who cannot swim ten chances
to one he will lose his bladders, and 60 to
the bottom. Teach him to swim, and he
will not need the bladders
Give your child sound education. See
to it that his morals are pure, his mind cuI-
tivated, and his whole nature made subser-
Went to the laws which govern man, and
you have given what will be more valuable
than the wealth of the Indies You have
given him start which no misfortune can
deprive him of The earlier you teach him
to depend upon his own resources, and the
blessing of God the better

Take We The world' cried Jove from heaven TO men
Wrong no-one more, let your neighbor wrong yot
TO you give it a possession. then,
Divide 1t brotherlike among you.'
The young and old reached forth the eager hand,
And wondered in anxiety the sorest--
The Husbandman bespoke the rich farm land.
The Nobeman the chase and forest.
The MerciAnt must have his store-house supplied
The Abbot chose the wine, the best. the oldest;
The King closed bridges, thoroughfares and cried,
The tenth is mine'-of all, the bodest.
At last the Poet came, weary one
But doomed as poets are, TO disappointment;
There nothing was for hn-each had his own
Its master each, BY selfappointment.
"Ah, met" he cried, of ALL am only
Forgotten? Thy truest shall nought be gfyen!n
upon his harp lac breathed mournful sish
And bowed, then raised his eyes to heaven
Then answered Joye, And thou dreaming them
Dost then find fault? TO All did bestow it,
Where vast thou when gave the world to meni"
Il was WITH THEE" returned the Poet.
Mine eye beheld thy countenance so bright;
Mine ear drank in the harmony Of heaven.
The soul that lost the world for heavens light,
Deserves it not to be forgivenf'
"I've given" said Jove. all that had TO give
Nought now remains. Men have made their division.
But. heaven is thine-the Poet here may live;

they haul goods from the bay at extremely
