There is nothing more beautiful in the
young than the simplicity of character
1t is honest, frank and attractive. How
different is Affectation! The simple mind
ed are always natural. They are. at the
same time, original. The affected ale new
'er natural. Be yourself, then young friend
To attempt to be any one else, is worse
than folly. But suppose you could sue
ceed in initiating the greatest man that
ever figured in history. would that make
you any greater? By no means. You
would always suffer in comparison with
the initiated one, and be thought of only
as the shadow of the subs,ance--the
echo Of real sound--the counterfeit Of q
pure coin. Let the fabric of your charac,
ter, though never so humble, be at least
natural. Avoid affecting the character o.
another. however great. Bui.d up your
own. Be what God intended you to be-
yourself, and not somebody else. Shur

Young Men.

The world always expects much OF
yong men. They constitute the vital en-
ergy of every community. Their infu-
euce is powerfully exerted; their voices are
prompt and earnest; their hands are al
ways ready for execution. and the first to
clear the way They should then be USE
full; they should study to save their money
for useful purposes. never forgetting them
selves; and of their surplus means they
should let the communities in which they
dwell derive the benefit, for objects Of be-
hevolence and the general gocd.for public
enterprises. for the support of the Chris
tian religion. which is still happily the
crowning glory of our country; for the
poor and destitute and distressed Sho sur
round our daily pathway. and for other
purposes which will carry their names
along with them as benefactors and in

FirmnesS.

Firmness is that characteristic of mind
which leads lis possessor to adhere reso-
lutely to the principles which he adopts for
his own, to be determined in pursuing
that course which he marks out as being
right for others.
The want of self knowledge often leads
men to substitute their own stubborn Wills
for decision of character. They have some
desired object to attain and they neither
halt or vascilate, but pride themselves up
on their perseverance,, when if the real
motive should manifest itself they would
blush and have cause for deep humility.
No high attainments can be !matured
without some decision of character. 1t is
an old proverb. II believe of Franklin's, J

Scarcely less disastrous are the conse-

He who has the training of child is

Wandered from your childhood's home,
almost lost in the meshes of busy world
do you ever recall the words that fell up
on your listening ear as You bade adieu to
the loved ones who fingered around at

Do you feel that the yearning spirit OF
these syllables is nightly embodied in a
prayer for your soul! and will you return? ?
The boy that issued from the old farm
gate few years ago. perhaps will never

That which he has become will 90 with

The Effect OF Advertising.

the following:

For some months past. Notwithstanding
that business and travel have been sadly
depressed. the traffic Of the Pennsylvania
Railroad has been steadily Increasing over
all others. Its stock and bonds have SYM
pathized in this prosperity, gradually III
sing in price. = Now. much of
this prosperity is due to very simple ex-
pedient--advertising The Company have
been advertising largely in New England,
and per consequence, the cash receipts at
the New York Office have increased sc
per cent. since the advertising system was
begun! The solid re suits of this expsndi-
ture are now realized st the time they are
most needed; thus proving conclusively
that when business is dull is the best time
to advertise largely. What a lesson these
facts ought te teach every man who is
getting living by dealing in any way
with the general public.

~ The ceremony of laying the corner
stone of the new Methodist Church, at the

place on Monday evening, in the presence of
quite a large crowd of ladies and gentlemen.
Rev. p. p. Nicely delivered a most chaste
and eloquent address and was followed by
DIR. MCFERRiN, in forcible appeal for the
means to build the church The design of
the edifce is beautiful and if perfected will
greatly enhance the beauty of that part of
the city. 1t is to be 20 by As feet. There
was something like two thousand dollars sub
scribed on this occasion, ISAAC PAUL heading
the list with $1,000. We trust that the vari-
GUS committees who have the work in charge,
will urge it to speedy completion, and hope
the citizens of all parts of the city will ex-
tend prompt and liberal aid towards erecting
a sanctuary that shall be credit to them and
an ornament to the city. We would suggest
that not half the means were raised to exc
cute the design of the work, and that the ex-
ceeding liberalty of few does not exclude
Others from lesser but quite as acceptable
contributions.
