To YouNa MEN.-Young man! after
the duties of the day are over. how do
you spend pour eveningsl When bust
ress is dull, and leaves at your disposal
many unoccupied hours, what disposa
do you make of theml l have known,
and now know, many young men who. if
they devoted to any literary, or scientific
or professional pursuits, the time they
spend in games of chance, and loungiug
in bed, might rise to almost any emin-
ence.
You have all read of the sections son
who became fine astronomer by spend
ing short time e.ery evening in gazing
at the stars, after ringing the bell for 9
o'clock.
Sir William Phipps, who. at the age
of forty-fvc, had attained the order of
knig ghthood, and the Office of high Sheriff
of New England, and Governor of Mas.
sachusctts, learned to read and write,
after his eighteenth year, of a ship-car-
penter in Boston.
William Clifford, the great editor of
the Quarterly, was an apprentice to
shoemaker. and spent his leisure hours
in study. And because he had neither
pen nor paper, slate nor pencil, he
wrought his problems on smooth leather
with blunt awl
David Rittenhouse, the American as
tronomer, when a plow boy, was observ-
ed to have covered his plow and fences
with figures and calculations.
James Ferguson the Scotch astronomer
learned TO read by himself, and mastered
the elements of astronomy while shep-
ards boy in the fields by night.
And, perhaps, it is not too much to
say that, if the hours wasted in evil COM
pany, in vain conversation at The tavern
were only spent in the pursuit of useful
knowledge, the duilest apprentice in
any of our shops might become an in
elligent member of society. and fit
person for most of our civil Offices By
such course, the rough sovering of
many youth is laie aside; and their
ideas. instead. of being confred to small
subjects and technicalities. might range
the wild fields of creation; and other
stars from among the young men of
every community might be added to the
list of worthless who are now gliding our
country with bright yet mellow light

FRUIT PROSPECTS, IN THc MOUNTAINS.

by the late frosts. except the Early

branches, by some insect which deposits
an egg, which natures into very small
worm; this cats under the outer bark of

i mere IS class Ol lndlVl1uaIS that,
through life. have one unfortunate trait
they are alwayctoo late. They seem
to have lost. in early life, half hour of
Their existence and have been running
after it ever since. If they have an on.
gagement, they never reach the spot In
time. and keep others waiting because
they are too late Now, ifa number of
business men have made such an ap-
p"intment. and are obliged to wait for
our Mr.. Too Late. each loses the few
minute- or quarters of an hour, as the
case may be. which makes an awful ag.
gregate of tie loss of temper, which one
causes who is too late
Our friend, the gentlemen above
mentioned, is never at the steamboat
landing until just at the plank is pushed
off. and has to be thrown on board with
lis baggage. or, which is more frequent
ly the case, he is pretty sure to be car
ried dowu to the next landing place.
because he was too late to leave the
boat.
Mr.. Too Late finds the punctuality
cfthe cars very annoying. The stages
in old times, would 1inger little for
him. but there is no spirit of accomoda-
ton" in the cars. The whistle will
sound, the conductor shout "all aboard"
even if Mr.. Too Late is seen in the dis
tance putting and blowing carpet bag in
hand. The cars move off without him.
and he arrives at the platform to find
himsclftoo late.
Al his boarding house he finds him
self too late to have warm breakfast
Everything comes on cold. and the SEN
tcncc 'all gone" is sure to meet his car
when he erquiles for some favorite
dish.
If he keeps house his wife and domes-
tics are always in n fret because of his
want ofpuncluality; or. which is lore
generally the case, he impresses his own
habit so strongly upor his household.
nobody is ever ready to do anything.
The inevitable results are to perpetuate
to other generations the most aaolninatle
habit until it is formally neutralized by
crossing the breed.
Mr.. Too Late never succeeds in any
of his undertakings. His life is one
dark series of disappointed hopes and
efforts. lie ascribes all to his ill-luck,
and lays the blame on destiny or Provi-
dence, when the gloomy cause may be
only expressed in the words too late.
Will it not be so in religion? VIII
not the sad words too late be the last
record of his moral as we'll as physical
existence? Will not death surprise
him, and hurry him where repentancei is
700 late =? Death is more relentless and
more inexorabfe than the railcar or the
steamboat bell. Ii shouts "all aboard"
when it is least expected, and lurries to
push off the plank tro7 the steamers
side, needless If our loud lament Of TOO
s.A'rE.
Parents should commence early to
check the formation of this fearful habi,
in children. Punctuality may not be
called virtue, and yet it lies at the
root Of some of our most hourislling vir-
tues.

So far as o II acquaintance with the
NOMINEES extends. they ale excellent
men, If charac' er and ability. Stanford,
Sh.fler and Baker rank with the frs,
intelltcts # the State. Shafier has no
equal at the bar, aud Baker has no rival
in popular el qnence.
Some of the kecompton papers, with
how much truth we can not say. declare
the intentions Of the Republicans to be
to throw off Sfbley for Congress in the
event Of the nomination of j. e. Nc
kibben by the popular sovereignty
party, and that a common ticket will be
adopted between the two parties, for
Congress at least.
Baker is sn able. man than any repre-
sentative California has yet had in the
Congress of the United States. He has
not been considered Il Republican in the
stiflcst sense of the term, and may prove
an acceptable candidate for the more
polite ii the popular sovereignty men
to vote for. Baker ard Mckibhcr
would not make bad congressional
ticket for the parties opposed TO the

It's doubtful, however, if a fusion eve,
