LATE HOURS.

There IS great deal Of truth in the
remark of contemporary that one Of
the most deleterious influences brought
to bear against the strength and vigor
of American youth is the practice Of keep
ing late hours. The simple fact Of a
young man keeping late hours is not in
itself of much import, though bad enough
but when everything is taken into ac-
count the dissipation and the long string
of incidentals connected with leading
such life it will be realty understood
how keeping late hours is calculated to
reduce the vigor and strength of our
youth both in body and mind. We will
take as an instance the young man that
has Just broken loose from his mothers
apron strings as il is called. Hc goes
into company with men much his seniors;
and every night, though against his in
clination at first, he is led step by step
into practices at which his pure mind re-
voIted but few short months before,
which he then thought it impossible that
he could ever be induced to take part in.
But imperceptably, he becomes familiar
with them until at last, he first takes
part and then delights in them as much
as his comparisons; and, as not unfre-
quently happens becomes the leader of
them all--and the first intimation his
mother receives of the change that has
come over him is that he comes in the
"small hours, of the night as roaring
drunkard
Such is almost invaribly the result of
keeping late hours; and though our youths
may think it manly to smoke and chew
like their seniors, they should beware
and remember that it is the first step that
has led to crime and all its dreadful con-
sequences, and that one of the great, if
not the greatest, mistakes they can make
is to keep late hours. early to bed,
and early to rise" is as good motto now
as when it was first uttered and if ii does
not always make men wealthy and wise"
it does better-it preserves their inno-
cence, their constitution, and keeps them
free from sin and its train Of evil conse-
quences.

an enthusiastic CLEAN in his eye.
"Ah what was it darling and the

"Why I walloped Jack Smith," said
the young hopeful, "till he yelled like
blazes, you should just have heard him
holler, dad"
The father looked unhappy, while he
explained that the precept did not apply
to any act like that, and concluded with
"You should not have done that. my
dear child"
"Then he'd walloped me, " replied the
young hopeful

study, took up pen, and endeavored to
compose himself.

Your place is the gay world, where you

mine is in the humble cabin, where a

submit. There was proud independ-

became, he said to himself, the daughter
of chieftains who had fought at Ban
nockburn and Flodden Field, and sacri-
feed their all at Culloden.
Two weeks from that time Donald
and his friend left the Highland cabin,
and Helen was alone. Never before had
she known what it was to be alone
She never knew how much she loved till
her lover was away.
But even year will pass, and just a
twelve month from Donald's departure
Helen sat at the spring side, which she
had named for the trysting spot if her
lover proved faithful. She had been
there already for many hours, watching
with an eager timid heart, half trembling
at her own folly in expecting him, half
angry with herself for her doubts; but
now, as the glooming came on, yet no
Donald appeared, her bosom swelled nigh
to bursting. She rose frequently, and
looked up the bridal path, but nobody
was in sight. AT last the stars began to
come out; the wind grew chill; and with
an almost broken heart she rose to re.
turn to the cabin.
Il might have known this she said,
sadly. DO not all my books tell me
the same? Ever the old story of trust.

AT this instant an arm was thrown
around her waist, and well remembrd
voice whispered in her ear--"Now, Hell.

a month from that time Sir Donald

Of his ancestors.
In the great gallery of the castle is a
picture of Scottish girl, with a half pc

and the old housekecper, as she goes the

HIGHFALUTIN.

There are some funny fellows in the
south One of them writes: In our
drug store have fellow clerk, some
what celebrated among his acquaintances
as a concoctor of puns and the uttcrer OF
dry jokes. He is aboyish-looking youth,
and officiates-when his services arc re-
quired, behind the soda fountain. A
few mornings since fashionably- dressed
poetical looking young gentleman enter
ed, and seating himself on stool in
front of the counter, in very choice selec-
tion of terms requested the clerk to pre-
pare him seidlitz powder. The follow
ing conversation, ridiculous in its earn
estness, resulted:
Clerk-With syrup?
Customer-(slowly and mcthodically)
i require it not as a rcfreshmcnt. If
syrup vitiatc not the effect of the COM
pound, you may mingle with it such an
amount Of the substance as will render
the potation palatable. Or, to be bet
ter understood
Clerk-(interrupting)--I comprehend
you, perfectly. Permit me to assure you
that the tendency of the syrup will be
rather to be enhance than diminish the
purgative virtues of the drug.

that his style is affected by the other)-
Then proceed, miracle of medical liter
aturc and wisdom!
Clerk--With dispatch, confounder of
fools.
Customer-Then, if not struck motion
less use haste.
All this was so quietly, so politely,
said, that although amused beyound ex-
preston at the conversation, we started
in wonder at the parties. The clerk cv-
identity felt cut at the last remark of the
other, but mixed the powder, which the
stranger triumphantly swallowed, paid
for, aud started to leave the store, when--
Clerk-Should you feel any uncasiness
in the region of the stomach within the

DAMASCUS.

Damascus is the oldest city in the
world. Tyre and Sidon have crumbled
on the shore; Balbcc is ruin; Palmyra
is buried in the sands of the desert:Ninc-
vah and Babylon have disappeared from
the Tigris and Euphrates; Damascus re-
mains what it was before the days of
Abraham-a centre of trade and travel
an island of verdure in the descrt---a pre-.
destined capital" with martial aud sacred
associations extending through morethan
thirty centuries. 1t was near Damascus
