When passion rears its Hydra head

If those you love forget themselves, and

your rathless ears have not correctly

should pass your merits by, let not her
strange allotment cause withinyour breast

from her plenteous store, by 'caiting fof
better time, your portion may be more:
Remember that surly mood will gain
not ftiends, but foes; an acid current must
polute all streams through which it flows:
A happy face. with cheerful look an in

as the sun does on the blooming rose; it
wakes to life those happy smiles that

When married, strive still 10 promote the

.. A BEAUTIFUL ExrRAcT.--Lnbor!---,
Why man OF idleness, labor rocked you
in the cradle, and has nourished your
pampered life; without it, the woven silks
and wool upon your back would DO il
the fold For the meanc3t thing that
ministers to human want, save the air Of
heaven, man is indebted to toll and even
the air, by Gods ordination, is breathed
by labor. 1t is only the droncs who toll
not, who inlest the hive Of activity like
masses Of corruption and decay. Tho
lords Of the earth are working men who
can build up or cast down at their will.
and who retort to the sneer Of the soft
hand by pointing to their trophies, wher.
ever art, science, civilization, and hu;
mainly are known. Work on man Of
toll! thy royalty is yet to be acknowledg;
ed as labor rises onward to the highest
throne OF power. Work on and in the
language Of the true poet be
"a glorious man! and thy renown shall be
Borne by the winds and waters thro' all time
While there's a keel to carry it on the sea,
From cline to cline.
Or God ordains that idleness is no crime.

The Family Paper"

Mrs. L. Virginia French, in tho Soul.

upon the benefits Of newspaper in the
family circle;
One of the most potent aids to educa.
ton is Newspapers. We have not re.
fered here to the expensive and embcll.
ished periodical, (though that bears in
each monthly visit lesson of refine
men. and taste,) but the sterling weekly
journal, be it political, agricultural, or
llterary-olten homely in its "outward
sho wing" but ever welcome, because al.
ways useful. The Family Paper" 1t
is one Of those good things which can.
not be too often introduced into the little
circle Of" Heavens fallen sister"-home.
Can there be any doubt that this weekly
visitor, which is itself the advocate of
education, the champion Of the rights of
the masses, the agent Of the spirit of pro-.
gress, should exert most potent nAu
encc on the minds and morals of the
young? Its teachings belong to that in.
direct mode, which is always to be pre-.
ferred for children, as it quickenS the
attention, gives play TO imagination,
impresses itself upon the feelings,
and is consequently more lastingly re.
tanned. Its lessons are bestowed pleas.
antly, and it makes itself attractive in
the same way Of Which a young child
spoke when she said Of her teacher: ooh

smiles so, and don't mean to make as

said, the influence Of the American Press,
with but few exceptions, is favorable 10

those mute messengers may not enter

in every sheet, be it ever so unpretending,
to cheer, to amuse, or to instruct. Let

dreamed stood outside of lielPs
Dark walls; and cries, and sroans, and yells
Heard family, from alar within
That dark abode Of pain aud sin:
Louder and louder on the ear
Those nun murs broke, and seemed more near
TO be advancing; like the roar
or some dark stormcloud breaking DER
A mighty forest old and still,
And rushing on DER dale and hill.
Curses and imprecations dire,
Terms OF contempt and vengeful ire,
From myriad tongues POW would hear,
Each moment seeming still more near.
To where stood the tumult drew,
And HeIl's broad gate wide open flew,
Out rushed being, sore in haste,
By demons, imps, and devils chased;
!Driye him far off," loud Satan cried;
"And you, Gate keeper, woe betide,
If e'er within these walls is seen,
Another being half as mean"
A fiend came near: | said. pray tell,
Is aught too mean, too vile for Hell7
Who can that wIetclled being be,
Whom thou hast forced so far TO flec
From this dark den Of sin and shame
Tell whence he came and what his name?
He grinned smile OF fiendlike mirth,
And said: "a sLANDsREu FROM KAETH."

selves in the broad glare Of monday,

have witnessed sight like this, we have
sometimes looked ahead q few years, and
viewed the young man transformed into a
confirmed inebrate, with countenance
bloaed and distorted, nerves shattered,
health impaired, and his once erect,
manly form and agile limbs bent and
suffering with the trcmor of premature
decay. Tho Rev. VIM. Cotton has said,
that I" the excuses Of our youth are

fearful consequences of the inebriating

other infatuated victims are treading in

fires of consuming thirst kindled within

strong drink is formed, you are given over

Young Men.

Who does not feel an interest in the
young man, just stepping from his minor
ity and entering upon the activities and
responsibilities Of life. Society regards
such an one with more than ordinary in.
terest, and narrowly scans his actions to
determine what manner Of man he is.
Thus the judgment Of the public is made
up upon his merits or dement's, and he
takes his position, humble or exalted,
noble or ignoble, just as his character
and qualifications determine. If no be
moral, intelligent, industrious, and up.
right; employing his to the advantage Of
himself and others, not wasting his mo-
ments in the proftless pastimes or idle
frivolities Of youth, we know that, sooner
or later, he will attain distinction, per.
haps fortune and influence, and become
honored and respected in the world. But
if his conduct be the reverse Of this !; il
foolishness be bound up in his heart il
he adopt the vices and evil habits Of the
time; if he 60 with the multitude to dc
evil; if he run into the snare Of the sy.
rem !; il he practice The vices Of profanity
and intemperance, there is but little hope
for him; nay, there is certainty that he
will fall into fuin, and his life will prove
failure. How often we have been pain
ed to see our young men, who should be
the pride and hope of the nation treadlne
in the footsteps Of folly, running the
rounds Of dissipation-chewing, smoking
drinking. swearing--as if these things
were the end and aim OF life.
Oh, how sad sight is it to see young
men as we have recently seen them
reslng under the influence Of intoxica
