ners in business or companions for life, will be,
as heretofore, the leading feature Of the work.
Young men ambitious to develop their powers
and qualify themselves by selfculture, for use
fulness and success in life; teachers who would
learn by simple method how to draw out the
intellect and cultivate the dispositions Of their
pupils; mothers desiring q guide to the best
means Of forming the character and preserving
the health and morals Of their children; mer-

iously, and educate properly, their clerks and

choose apprentices and train them for their own
particular trades; and every one who would

cure personal development viii find the Jour

the speaker, cit would be curious to
calculate of what amount of paper cur
rency so large su of specie might be
made the basis, at the rate, for instance,
observed in New England banks, of
twenty dollars in bank notes to one dol
lar in coin. Fortunately, however, for
the business Of the country-annually
aggravated and periodically exploded by
undue issues of bank paper and bank
credits-fortunately, the great part of
this coin remains boarded or in circula-
ton among the people, who wisely pre-
fer to trust themselves rather than banks
of issue.
1t was the steady flow of this money,
brought by foreign emigrants as well as
of money carried by native emigrants,
into the western States of the Union, at
a rate, perhaps, Of Zoo, 900, one hun
.dred thousand dollars per day, which,
in 1856, sustained the enormously in
fated prices of everything in the West,
when otherwise they must have fallen
upon the fall of nearly one-half in the
price of breadstuffs, upon which alone
the West relied to buy manufactures and
pay debts"

That education and regular occupation
are the two great elements of success.
Moral training is of course important.
But without habits of industry grated
on regular occupation, the perils OF
the young are fearful. Almost any
trade is better than none. Some trade,
calling or profession. should be thor
oughly learned. 1t occupies the mind,
curbs the passions, and tasks the facul-
ties Of youth. 1t prevents your run
ming to ruin. A good education. habits

far greater price than the greatest fortune
without these qualities, for it is these
which makes the man. .....
