CONCLUDED NEXT WEE
what does he do for a Livingr

"What does that young man do for a
llving" is the common inquiry, as some
toppish, well-dressed individual passes by.
IN "Nothing-nothing at ALL" "But what
supports him in his extravagancies?"-
None can tellF7but we, being Yankee,
have the privilege of guessing. That
young man that dresses in broadcloth, car
ries cane, and is so extremely polite to
all his acquaintances-especially the ladies
is the son of man in moderate crcnm-
stances, who finds it difficult to sustain
himself with moderate income. His son
wishes to be gentleman, and lives with
out labor. The eathe: in his folly refuses
to put him to trade, or send him to work
on farm, hoping that something NAV
turn up, by-and-by, when business will be
better, for his son to obtain good living
without work. He is now obliged to dis
pense with the luxuries of life-perhaps
with some of its comforts-for his son to
keep up appearances, and get into good So
clety, as that kind of company is termed,
where young men have nothing to do but
to dress according to the latest fas hions.
lie is quite Independent, and uses language
to his seniors that might he considered un-
courteous in king, He faces all classes
and conditions without blush, and dares
to look with contempton the honest appren-
tice, whose generous soul would outwe gh
a thousand as light as his own. The com
panions he choose are like himself, puffed
up with vanity, swelling with importance,
and who make pretence of doing some
thing, by occasionally visiting a lawyers
office, to read page or two of Blackstone.
The end of such youth it needs no pro-
Phetic vision to see. alt is as plain as
the way to Market" as DR.. Franklin would
say, that he will turn out low, despised,
and miserable too. Perhaps the Peniten-
tiary will bring him up--perhaps the gal
lows. But ifhe escapes these, it will be
to hang like an incubus on those Of his
friends, who. for PHYS sake. have not the
heart to send him whero he deserves.

Luck la Farming.

There are few words oftenersupon the
! lips of certain class of farmers than
! "luck.'
Smith is "lucky dog" because his
corn never rots, his wheat never winter
kills, his sheep never get into his rye, and
his cows never invade his meadows or or
chards. His crops are better than his
neighbor's, his butter brings more in tho
market, and even his wife and children
have more contentcd look than other pc,
pie. Every thing he touches thrves>
What lucky man Smith is!
Now, the fact is, luck has nothing to do
with Smiths success in life. lfyou watch
the man. you will find that every result
he reaches is anticipated and planned for.
and comes Of his own wit and work 1t
is tho legitimate reward of his labors, and
it would have been bad luck lift had uned
out otherwise. His corn always comes
up because he always select the seed him
self, and hangs itup by the husk in tho
garret, where it is thoroughly dried. lie,
does not plant until the sun has
warmed the soil enough to give the germ
m immediate start. His wheat fields llu
drains with tile and the water that userf
to freeze and thaw on the surface, and
throw the roots out and kill them, now
passes down into the drains aud runs OF.
His fields arc green and beautiful in the
Spring, when his neighbors' are russeL,
brown and dcsolate. His fences are in
gool repair. His wife and children ara
comfortably clothed and fed. and are not
kept in IL continual fret aud worry by a
husbard and father, who has no system or
energy in his business ga time and place
for everything" is his motto carfully car
ried out. The shoemaker is always called
III when his services are needed, and mono
of his household get wet feet, catch cold,
have the lung fever, and run UP the doc-
tors bill of twenty dollars, for wart of a
cents worth Of leather at the right time
and in thu right place.
Smith does not believe in luck. IBe.
knows that health in tho family and thrifs
upon the farm depend upon a tliousanA lN-
tie things, that many of his neighbors are.
too lazy or careless to look after. So while
they are Mt the tavern, or loafing in tie
village, on running muck in politics, he
is looking after these little things, and lay-
ing his plans FOR next year. He has good
corn even IN the poorest year, because tho
soil has the exact manure it needs lo
bring out good long, plump, well-capped
ears. He IN cant to Lave 80 bushels to-
the acre, and he has it, good measure, anil
running over. Talk to, him. about luck,

Refinement AT Vlounc.

The influence of sweet home on the
character of its inmates is so delightful
and SO ennobling, that we wish all onr
friends to do all they can to secure such
home for themselves and their families.
Now, for lhis end, wealth and splendor are
by no means as necessary as is sometimes
supposed. If you have sweet temper,
and always express yourselves in Kind
tones, if you avoid low, coarse language,
and (what is more importantly low, coarse
thoughts, you have gained the first great
point. Then, if you have few choice
books and read them and love them, this
is another great matter. IA noble book
read, admired, and taken into the soul
is one Of the most potent agencies in the
world IN advancing true refinement. Next
to goodness of heart, and ae tast for noble
reading. we would place scrupulous neat
ness IN the person, the house, and its sur.
roundings. While work is being done,
one must dress accordingly. But when
the work is over, few minutes may, if
the habits are properly formed, transform
the whole outer man. We know ladies'
that do all their own work, and who are
yet ladies, in the largest and best sense.
They enjoy elegance in others. and exem-
plify it in their own persons, dress, and
manners. There is no reason why their
husbands should not, to some extent, copy
their example. We see now and then a
man who unites the practical laborer and
the true gentleman in high degree.
What a power it would add the refining
influence Of home, if they were universally
such.

DEAL GENTLY WITH THE ERRING.-
That man possesses an extremely low and
groveling mind, whe rcjoices a: the down
fall of another. A noble heart, instead of
denouncing as a consumma.e scoundre,
one who has erred, will throw around
him the mantle Of charity and the arm of
love, and labor to bring him back to
duty and to God. We are not our
own keepers. Who knows when we
shall so far forget ourselves as to put forth
right hand and sin. Heaven keeps us
in the narrow path. But If we should
fall, where would be the end of our course,
if in every face we saw frown, and on
every brow we read vengeance; deeper and
deeper would We decend in the path of in
fanny; when if different spirit were mani
festod towards us, We might have stayed
our career of ruin and died an upright and
honest man. Deal gently with those who
go astray. Draw them back by love and
persuasion; kind word is more valuable
to the lost man than mine of gold
Think of this and be on your guard, We
who would chase to the confines of the
grave an erring and unfortunate BROTHER.

declared the marriage valid, ard the first
