Hold East to YOUR nusiness.

If You have a buSiness-stck to il. III
you have none--get one as speepily as pos
sibe But in business, or In the hunt after
one, do but one thing at time, young gen.
tleman, and do it well. Not one, but many
thousands of young men have failed to ac-
complsh anything in life, simply because they
hadn't the faculty Of perseverance-a part
of mans phrenology which can be Cultiva-
ted if primarily deficient, and so the dearth
of which is inexcusabe. Nobody ever yet
did deed to make his name famous or the
world better, that he did not follow out his
purpose Through thick and thin" 1t is
the indomitable energy, the pluck, the will
of man, that causes him to make his way
along the stormy pathway of this little pill
grimage below the stars, and what possible
reason is there for man to stop all along
the road to prick his fingers with the net
ties that spring upon the back That per-
Torrance don't pay. Have purpose. Get
a business. When you have il, hold fast to
it, being FIRST sure that you are in the track
that nature intended you to follow "Be
sure yon're right, then go ahead !" said old
Ethan Allen, and so every good adviser
will tell You. But the young man, just
commencing in his career, who turns discon-
tentedy from this to that, and from that to
the other, and back again to this, will new
er do anything to make himself known to
two people besides himself for qualities that
a man is no man if he lack. And as drones
are not wanted i'd these parts, among the
men folks--however useful the class may be
among the bees-it is d boys privilege to
select his way of making living have
had occasion to trace the progress of lad,
who began in very little field; with an iu-
come that was no income at all, who; by
dint of sticking to his business, made very
comfortable thing of it before he had turned
twenty-five. While he was doing this-fol:
lowing out his bookkeeping his will active
enough TO hew down difficulties as they
sprang up before him-a plenty Of beginners,
as young as be, and with similar opportuni-
ties, failed utterly because fortune did so fa-
Vor them that they could jump at leap
into position and power What chances
there were for these people, were entirely
inadequate to their necessities" they said,
and so went snd fllibustered, some gam
bled, and some lived on their friends, and
others did not live at all, but put an end to
the world and the shortness Of their pocket
books together-all which was criminal and
worse than foolish. There is nething bet

persevere in what you undertake. Your

Inherited psauliaritie,-A Sad Story.

In one of the New England States /
know lad, now about twelve or thifteen
years of age whose condition is most re-
markable demonstration of the natural law,
that in every case, the child is a faithful
copy Of his parents:
The boy is natural drunkard. From
bis birthday to the present moment, he has
given all the outward indications Of being
deeply drunk and yet, so far as l know,
or think it probable, he has never swallowed
drop of ardent spirits 10 bis life Though
in good sound health, he has never been
able to walk without staggering. His
head is always on his breast and his
speech is of that peculiar character, which
marks person 10 very low stage Of in
toxication. If nevertheless in the midst
of his mutterings and reelings, something
is said to him in way to pass through his
intellectual being, and penetrate his mind,
he at once rouses, like common tippler,
aud gives proof enough that ne is not want
ing in native talents, however his mental
are enshrouded. His disposition, al o
seems TO be extremely amiablc He is kind
to every one around him and, may add
he is not only ptied for his mlsfortunes
but in spite of bis lamentable condition,
regarded with uncommon interest. lie is
looked upon as star Of no mean magnitude
obscured and almost blotted out by the
mist in which be is doomed to dwell, till
be shall pass from the present'state Of ex-
istance TO another.
Now, as understand the law Of hered-
ltary descent, there is nothing unnatural
in this boys case. Every individual ever
born is governed by the same principle,
which caused them to be what be is. Pri-

Washington.

Washington was then 43 years Of age.
In statue he little exceeded six feet; his
limbs were sinewy and well proportoued; /;
bis chest broad; his figure stately, blend
ing dignity of presence with ease. His ro-
bust constitution had been tried and invig-
GRATED by his early life in the wilderness
his habit Of occupation out of doors, aud
his rigid temperance; so that few equalled
him in strength of arm or power of endu-
rance. His complexion was Aorid; his hair
dark brown; his head in its shape perfectly
round. His broad nostrils seemed formed
10 give expression and escape to scornful
anger. His dark blue eyes, which were
deeply set, had an expression of resigna-
tion, aud an earnestness that was almost
sadness.
At eleven years old left an orphan to the
care Of an excellent but unlettered mother,
he grew up without learning. OF arith-
metic aud geometry he acquired just knowl-
edge enough to be able to practice mea-
snring land; but all bis instruction at school
taught him not SO much as the orthogra-
phy or rules OF grammar of his own tongue.
His culture was altogether his own work,
and he in the strictest sense a self-made
man; yet from bis early life be never seem
ed uneducated. AT sixteen he went into
the wilderness as a surveyor, and for three
years continued the pursuit, where the for
ests trained him, in meditative solitude,
to freedom and largeness Of mind; and Ma
ture revealed to him her obedience to se-
rene and silent laws. In bis intervals from
toll, he seemed always to be attracted to
the best men, and TO be cherished by them.
Fairfax, hls employer, an Oxford scholar,
already aged. became his fast friend. He

Earthly Antagonisms.

NJ GEO. W. CRowELL.
Virtue and vice, can neer agree
AS right and wrong still onward glide
Swift currents in the human sea,
Forever warning side by side.
II is a warfare, strong aud deep,
Where iiercest passions swell the strife,
Where youth, and age, their pulses beat,
With all the strength of earnest life,
No toiling slave, in darksome mine,
Can feel deeper sense of woe,
Than manhood in its strength sublime,
when crime has laid its ventures low.
Has laid each high and daring plan,
Matured by years Of toll and care,
Which marks the true and noble man,
Beneath the spell Of dark despair
Oh then be earnest in the right
And shum the paths which lead to crime,
And prove the strength of human might,
Along the battle fields of time.
For virtue brings rich behest,
And blooms uniadihs in the soul,
When truth is sought with earpestness
And vice is held in strong CONTROL.

Influence OF Women an society.


From an accurate account OF the condi.
tion Of women in any country, it would
not be difficult to infer the whole state OF
society. So great is the influence they ex-
ercise on the character Of men, that tho
latter will be elevated or degraded, accord
ing to the situation of the weaker SEX
Where women are slaves, as in Turkey, the
men will be the same where they are
treated as moral beings---where there minds
are cultivated, and they are considered
equals--the state Of society must be high,
and the character Of the men energetic and
noble. There is SO much quickness Of com.
