A Coon REsoLUT1oN.-If you have been
once bcguiled, and have seen others sink, let
your resolution be doubly fortified against
the allurements in future. Sir Matthew
Hale, while young man, spent an evening
with feasting party, when one of them drank
to such excess, that he fell down dead in the
midst of them. They hastily separated, and
Hale was so shocked that he resolved never
again to mix in society, Or drink another's
health while he lived and he faithfully kept
his resolution. But was it necessary, you
may ask, to lay himself under rigorous res
traint approaching to austerity? 1t might
be or it might not be, for this is point of
moral causistry not always easily to be set
tied; at any rate, it is best to be on the
safe side The anecdote above given brings
to mind circumstance related of the cele-
brated Baron Haller. His social disposition
and the excitement of his companions, hav-
ing in convivial party betrayed him into
an act Of intemperance, this solitary devia-
ton into excess so strongly impressed his
mind with ingenious shame, that he Instant
ly formed resolution to abstain from wine
in future, and adopted a strictness Of morals
from which he never departed. We should
not have had pillar of the law and pat
tern of integrity in Hale, or an ornament of
literature and philosophy in Halter, had Ell.

A MAN Is KNOWN BY THE COMPANY HE
KEEps.-[t is an old and truthful adage that
"a man is known by the company he keeps"
No matter how pure and upright you may be
in your intentions, no matter if you have
never departed even hairs breadth from
the path of rectitude and virtue, if you are
seen in the company Of or allow yourself to
associate with, those whose morals sit lightly
upon them, the world is sure to class you
with them. This judg ment may seem severe,
and be sometimes wrong, yet in the main it
is correct, and if you do not wish thus to be
judged, your only course is to avoid the very
appearance of evil.
Besides, one thing is morally certain, and
that is, that it is an utter impossibility to as
sociate with such people for any great length
Of time without contamination, and theresult
is almost inevitably that you become par.
takers in their criminality and their punish.
ment. Indeed, many a person has suffered
only because they have been known to asso-
ciate with "evil doers," although they may
not in the remotest degree have partaken in
their iniquity.
Young man, it then behooves you to bt
extremely careful whom you associate with
and if you would preserve yourself in up
rightness and purity, sec to it that your com
panions are free from vice; avoid the pro
fame swearcr and the vulgar, the gambler ant
the icentious man, and him also who, forget
full of his Maker, is ever ready to fill you
mind from the blackened and turbid stream
of infdelity that polutes his own soul.

HEALTH OF Observation-Disclosures, is there

HEALTH OF DAUGHTERS. Mothers, is there

The WIFE.--What is there like home to
the man to whom God has given that great
est of all earthly gifts, far beyond gold, "a
help-matc for him-a being like himself,
adapted to better his condition and soften his
cares? 1t is an old sentiment that has passed
into proverb-" No wife no home"
1t is astonishing to see how we'll man
may live on small income who has handy
and Industrious wife. Some men live and
make far better appearance on six or eight
dollars week than others do on fifteen or
eighteen dollars. The man does his part
well, but the wife is good for nothing. She
will even upbraid her husband for not living
in as good style as her neighbor, while the
fault is entirely her own, His neighJor has
a neat, capable, and Industrious wife and

MAx1Ms FOR YOUNG MEN.-Keep good
company Never be idle If your hands
cannot be usefully employed, attend to the
cultivation of your mind. Always speak the
truth. Make few promises. Live up to
your engagements. Keep secrets if you have
any. When you speak to person, look him
in the face. Good company and good char
acter is above all else Your character can
not be essentially injured except by your
own acts. IF any one speaks evil of you,
let your life be so that no one will believe
him. Drink no intoxicating liquors. Ever
live (misfortunes excepted within your IN
come. When you retire to bed, think over
what you have been doing through the day.
Make no haste to be rich if you would pros
per. Small and steady gains give great
competency, with tranquility Of mind. Never
play at any game of chance. Avoid temp
tation, through fear you might not withstand
it. Never run in debt unless you can see a
way to get out again. Never borrow if you
can possibly avoid it. Never speak evil Of
any one. Be just before you are generous
Keep yourself innocent, if you would be
happy Save, when you are young, to spend
when you are old.

LEAD Us NOT INTo TEMPTATION. We
may rise in the morning with our hearts light
and our spirits foe, and before evening comes
may, in one short hour, circumstances may
occur which shall call for the exercise of no
ordinary share of grace; and unless we are
on our guard, plunge us into guilt, shame an
distress. In many dismal sting of private
life, we find that the sin which threw its chill
whitening shade over all succeeding years
from which there was no refuge but through

Coon REASON FOR BEING ExcITED-Rev.
DR.. Arnot, of Glasgow, in speaking on the
temperance question, admitted that he was
excited, and gave his reasons why he should
be. He said I; people need not take the
trouble of telling me I am excited on these
questions. l know that l am; l would be
ashamed before God and men if were not.
There is more in the public houses of Glas-
cow to stir the spirit of minister, than in
all that Paul saw at Athens. In my ministry

SIMULTANEOUSLY hithersoever we 90 we
meet with the sniveler. He stops us at the
corner Of the street to entrust US with his
opinion. He fears that the morals and intel
ligence of the people are destroyed by the
election of some rogue to office, He tells us,
just before church, that the last sermon of
some transcendental preacher has given the
death blow to religion, and that the waves of
atheism and the clouds of pantheism are to
doluge and darken all the land. In the time
of general health, he speaks Of the pestilence
that is to be- The mail cannot be an hour
too late but he piattles of railroad accidents
and steamboat disasters. He fears that a
friend, who was married yesterday, will be
bankrupt in year, and whimpers over the
trials which he will then endure, He is rid
den with an eternal nightmare, and emits an
eternal wall. Recklessness is the bad quail
ity, and so is blind and extravagant hope;
but neither is so degrading or inglorious as
inactive despair.
We object to the sniveler, because he pre-
sents the anomaly of being who has the
power of motion withost possessing life. His
insipid languor is worse than tumid strength.
Better that man should rant than whine.
The person who has no bounding buoyant
feeling in him, whose cheek never hushes at
anticipated good, whose blood never tingles
and fires at the contemplation of noble
aim, who has no aspiration and no great OBJ
jcct in life, is only fit for the hospital or the
bandbox. Enterprise, confidence, DISPOSE

ECHOES OF THE VALLEY OF LIFE.-" Hear
the story of the child that went forth into
the mountain ravine. Whilst the child wan
dered there he cried aloud, to break the
loneliness, and heard a voice which called to
him in the same Tone He called again,
and, as he thought, the voice again Knocked
him. Flushed with anger, he rushed to
find no one. He then called out to him in
anger, and with all abusive cpithets, all Of
which were faithfully returned to him. Chok-
ing with rage, the child ran to his mother
and complained that boy in the woods had
insulted him with many vile words. But the
mother took her child by the hand and said
- My child, these names were but the
echoes of thine own voice. Send forth sun
shine from thy Spirit, and thou shalt never
have clouded day. Garry about a vindic-
tive spirit, and even in the flowers shall Turk
curses. Thou shalt receive ever what thou
givest, and that alone Always, said the
speaker, is that child in the mountain passes,
and every man and every woman is that

The LITTLE ONEs.-Now that the warm
weather has come let your children amuse
themselves out of doors. Don't keep them
shut up like house-plants until they become
as pale and as thin as ghosts. Strip off the
fnery, put on coarse garments, and turn them
out to play in the sand-te make "mud
cakes"-to daub their faces with anything of
an " earthly nature, which will have ten
dency to make them look as though they had
entered into co-partnership with dirt.
Keep them in the house, and they will soon
look like, and be of about as much value as
potatoe which grows in the cellar, pale
puny, sickly, sentimental wrecks OF humanity
Turn them out, we say, boys and girls and
let them run, snuff the pure air, and be hap

Wrr.-Wit is the most dangerous talent we
can possess-it must be guarded with great
discretion and good nature, otherwise it will
create many enemies. Wit is perfectly con-
sistant with softness and delicacy; yet they
are seldom found united. Wit is so tatteripg
to vanity, that they who possess it are intox-
icated, and lose self command. Though it is
the most captivating, yet it is the most dread

who have it, and the most feared by those
who have it not. He who is grown rich with

MONEY AND HEALTH-There is this differ.
ence between these two temporal blessings,
health and money. Money is the most en-
We'd, but the least enjoyed. Health is the
most enjoyed, but the least envied; and this
superiority of the latter is still more obvious,
when we reflect that the poorest man would
not part with health for money, but that the
richest would gladly part with all their money
for health.

A noble form, whose arm Of might
Would triumph in the stormy fight!
Above his stern imperial brow
A regal eagle-plume would bow;
robe OF tswny wolf-skin fell
From his broad bosom manly swell;
His Ratchet glitter'd at his side
And knife ensheath'd with bison's hide
EMBOSSED with shells his rounded shield
Spread al his back its ample field.
Forth as he gaZ'd, emotions deep
Seem'd DER his troubled soul to sweep;
Tehn would a softer spell succeed,
His eye would fade, his heart would bleed.
He gaz'd, but thick the shadows dim
Athwart the glimmering landscape swim;
The brown old woods, so many -hued
With autumn coor'd robes endued,
And rolling prairies fade away,
As fails the waning fame of day,
And the br light river CLEANS no more
Along the isles That gem its shore.
He gag'd and thus his last farewell
In mornful accents from him fell.
Land of my sires! The falling night
That shuts thy glores from my view,
Rests like the dim oblivious doom
Which wraps my fated tribe in gloom,
As fade the golden clouds that swim
Like painted ships the horizons brim,
so fade, so vanish from the land
The relics of our warlike band.
Homes Of my sires Deserted hearth
And roof-tree sinking to the earth,
The rising moon with silver light
Reveals thy circle to my sight.
No more OF day-dawn will your smokes
Curl o'er the tall empowering oaks,
No more will council flames illume
The shadows of the evening gloom,
Nor pipes be lit, nor tales be told
Of the fierce chases or battles old.
Nor will the plaintive evening song
Of maidens the dim night prolong,
Nor horn rcsound, nor drum be beat,
To guide the dancers flying feet;
Nor childhood join its sports again
Along the red mans peaceful plain.
Graves of my sires! The pale moon-beam
Across your hilloeks casts its CLEAN,
Gliding with mournful light the trees
That rustic o'cr We in the breeze.
Peace to your rest! Your mortal dust
Sleeps in the grave's corroding rust,
But far your happy spirits rest
In the green islands of the blest;
And haply they lament to trace
How few the relics Of their race;
Hewfew have Escaped the white mans hand
Within the valleys of the land.
