Hasthe eye ever witnessed, or can it be pos

anything more deplorable and shocking, than TO
seea young man plunging headlong into the
yawning chasm ofintemperance. OF without giving
one oingle thought to the awful consequences
that must ensue--of the misery and reproach
he brings, not only upon himself. but upon his
friendsf Yet how often is this cad picture, with
all of it's dismal colors, Brought to our sight;
how often do we see some noble, highminded
-youth-the pride Of his father, and the hope and
joy of his mother, seduced from the paths of,vir-
tue and reetitude. tothe broad road that leads
to esernai death. To those who have thus re.

= A NovEIrT IN Music AND MECHANICS Every
pianoforte amateur has longed for some supernnt-
ural agency which should note down and preserve
a record of the sounds which he calls forth from
his instrument when the divine afflatus Is on him,
and the spirit Of melody takes possession of his
brain. To adopt a more chaste style of rhetoric
every player improvises some strains which he
would beglad to repeat, which, perhaps, contain
some ideas worthy Of further developments, but
which once played, cannot be recalled, and are
lost Mr.. Henry f. Bond has invented a beautiful.
ly simple apparatus, which is easily to be ap.
piled TO any pianoforte, and by. which every
note played, whether by design or accident, is
recorded in its proper place upon slip of music
paper In few words, the plan of this appara.
tus may be thus described: f.
" Upon cylinder placed in one end Of the pi
anoforte, the ruled music paper is wound by
means Of clock work this cylinder is made to re-
yolve, AT a uniform rate of speed the.paper thus
unwound, passes by another cylinder prepared
with aeurface Of Ink each key Of the instrument
acting upon a lever, raises metal point against
the paper, presses il upon the inky surface, and
causes a mark 10 be made, the length Of the mark
showing accurately the duration Of the note
A pedal, by similar action, marks the bars-
With five minutes Of practice, any person who
understands the music can rapidly translate
these marks into the usual system of notes. The
whole arrangement lie so simple that the first
feeling is astonshment that the invention has
never been born before.--Bostom Courier.

UNDER CoSvtcroS.--A worthy clergyman from
one of the neighboring towns, not long since Of.
fcinted for two or three Sabbaihs in the State
Prison. Shortly after. when he was leaving
church after the Sabbath services, he was accost-
ed by friend and neighbor, most ineorrigible
wag, who recalled to mind his recent ministra-
tions in the State Prison, and with the utmost
gravity Informed him that every ono of the men
to whom he preached was under conviction
The clergyman, thrown off his guard by the
sanctity Of the day, and the apparent seriousness
OF the wag, expressed his great pleasure at the
news, and warmly shook his hands with his
friend. II was not until come time after that the
truth dawned upon his mind. We do not know
what his feelings were when he made the discov.
cry; but venture to guers that he would have
deemed conviction and sentence to. the State

chaser Of this valuable personal estate, was
young gentleman of some twenty summers,
teamster by profession. Whether the wife
was consulted in the arrangement is not
stated, but it is generally believed that the
transfer was acceptable to her. The fun
niest part of the story is, that the husband,
after giving the bill of sale, late in the even

GUARD AGAINST VULGAR LANGUAGE
There is as much connection between the
words and thoughts as there is between the
thoughts and the words; the latter are not
only the expression of the former, but they
have the power to react upon the soul, and
leave the stain of their corruption there. A
young man who allows himself to use one
vulgar and profane word, has not only shown
that there is foul spot upon his mind, but
by the utterance of that word he extends
that spot and infames it, till by indulgence
it will pollute and ruin the whole soul. Be
careful of your words as we'll as your thoughts.
If you can control the tongue that no impro-
per words are pronounced by it, you will
soon be able, also, to control the mind, and
save that from corruption. You extinguish
the fire by smotheriug it, or'by preventing
bad thoughts bursting out in language. Never
utter word anywhere which you would be
ashamed to speak in the presence of the most
refined female, or the most religious man.
Try the practice little while, and you will
soon have command of yourself

it within his power to mould his own fortune
no! I will not use that word
you mean to say, that where there is a
will there is way suppose. You think,
that man can arrive at any condition or
state, and comfortably adjust himself in the
coziest niche of the temple, eh?

ability said Marlton. But, what has be-

sYes-that'll do-don't branch off into

other-particularly when his own clothes

Tribune:
TArashed him agam.-As Mr.. w., the
unfortunate individual who was reported in
our paper a few weeks ago, was preambula-
ting our town, sampling bad whiskey and
flying around in the high grass, fighting his
own fics,' he was suddenly brought to by his
faithful spouse. Mrs. W. held in her hand
hickory whip, about the size generally used
to urge oxen on, and remind them of their
duty. She wished to know of Mr.. W. why
he was Jqying around while she and the chill
dren were at home with nothing to eat. Mr.
w. remained silent, when Mrs. W. commen-
ced applying the lash in lively manner,
informing her liege lord that if he resisted
she would send him to kingdom GOMEZ
Mr.. W. received the castigation like lamb,
and the last seen of the pair, Mrs. W. was
steering him for home by the rudder of his
coat, and applying the hickory to increase
his speed
