A THOUGHT FOR YOUNG MEN.

More may be learned by devoting a
few moments daily to reading. than is
commonly supposed. Five pages may
be read in fifteen minutes, at which rate
any one person may peruse twenty-six
volumes of two hundred pages each in a
year. You say you have none to guide
you. The best scholars aud men Of sci
er c. will tell J, u ty far tie most valuable
part of their education is that which they
have given themselves. Volumes have
been filed with the autob; ography OF
self-taught men. Think Of Franklin, the
printer; of Lime, the shoemaker, OF
John Hunter, the cabinet maker of Her
schel, the musician; OF Donald, the wea-
yer; of Turner, the Printer: of Burritt,
the Blacksmith. Love learning and you
will be learned, Where there is a will
there is way.
Begin at once, take time by the fore
lock, aud remember that it is only the
first step that costs. and having begun
resolve to learn something every day
Strike the blow and avoid the weakness
of those who spend half of lif. in think
ing what they shall do next. Always
have volume near you which you may
catch up at such odd minutes as are your
own. 1t is incredible, until trial is made,
how much real knowledge may be acqair-
ed in these broken fragments of time
which are like dust of gold and dia-
monds,

There is a certain class Of people in
this world. say an exchange, who appear
to think that a newspaper is mere ma
chine organized and established for the
special benefit Of any one and every one
who may demand the use Of its columns
at pleasure. without money and without
price, 1t is about time that the minds
Of these people were disabused of all such
mistakes. A newspaper is the private
property of its publisher and, the bust
ness Of printing he follows for the pur-
pose Of making living for himself and
family. Every type that is set. and
every sheet Of paper that is printed upon
costs tie printer money: and besides.
there are other sources of constant ex-
penditurc, such as ink. rent. fuel. lights,
&c, all of which have to be met with
money. Printers. as class are just as
liberal and charitable as other folks
but It is asking quite too much Of them
to do all manner of printing for nothing!
All expect pay for their wares ard their
professional services. Then why should
printers be a made. exceptions? They
work hard and receive poorer pay than
other classes in the community. but to
ask them to work for nothing, is ''piling

A plan for the re- organization of the
Pittsburgh. Fort Wayne and Chicago
Railroad Company was published yest.r
day in the columns of the Enquirer.
1t is sincerely te be hoped that the efforts
which are being made for the relief Of
this corporation will be successful. The
road is closely allied to Philadelphia in

ton of the three roads forming the pres-
ent line, numerous difficulties have encom-
passed the parties interested in manage

much to advance the concern. Every
legitimate means has been used BY tie
President, George w. Cess. and associ.

encourage local tra6c between the various
important points in the State of Ohio, In

A REMARKABLE CASE,

A singular fact is related of two citizens
Of Southbridgc, Mass, by the Webster
Times, who have jointly owned and occu.
pied farm in that town for sixteen,
years but have lately dissolved partner,
ship. During the whole of this period NO
accounts Of any kind have been kept by
either Of the parties. Both individuals
were men Of family occupying diAerent
portions of the same house: aud when
either wished to use cash be went to the
drawer in which it was kept, and took it,
no account being kept in a single in-
stance. ...
Yet, in all these slxteen years not a
word Of fault was spoken, no i'll feeling.
jealuoey or suspicion was shown, and
perfect harmony subsisted between the
parties to the day of their separation
The final dissolution in business was occa-
stoned by the marriage of member of
one Of the families, when it was thought
the house might not be able to contain
''the consequences. SO one party raised
the value OF one half of the premises in
cash, and paid it over to the retiring
partner, who quietly left. We believe
this to be an unparalleled case of honesty
and confidence.

MEXICAN HERO - HORRIBLE
CRUELTIES OF MIRAMON.

AS specimens of the revolving cruelty
Of Miramon, We quote two paragraphs
from the latest Mexican correspondence
of the N. Y Herald;
A few days back a historical play was
put on the stage, of which Miramon and
his family were present. In this play an
appeal was made to monarch BY his
subjects to grant them the blessing OF
peace. The occasion seemed favorable,
and one OF the audience rose, and appeal
ing to the President, depicted in heart
rendipg tones the miseries Of the Mexl-
can people, begging him also to confer
upon his country that boon as earnestly
demanded of the monarch in the piece.
Will it be believed that this unfortunate
supplieant was dragged to prison by Or
der Of Miramon by the head of the po-
lice. and, was sentenced to receive 500
lashes at day break the following morn

"be given to the dead body; my order

1t has Just come to my knowledge that
a poor unfortunate woman. whose hus-
band had been taken as a soldier by the
press gang,was seized while endeavoring
to facilitate his escape from the quarter
in which he was confined. and was Or

GOLD DOLLARS.

This little coin has become SO unpopu-
lar that the Secretary of the Treasury
has ordered three millions of them, at the
Philadelphia mint, to be re.melted, and
converted into double eagles. Every one
remembers what turore was created at the
time this dininutive coin was introduce
ed; they in many cases commanding a
premium from persons desirous of handl
ing the tiny bits of gold. When first
coined they were eagerly sought after by
almost all classes, but as soon as the nov
city OF their appearance wore off the coin
was found to be not half so useful as was
at first supposed. Gentlemen and Ia
dies blessed with few of then. were Of
ten painfully annoyed by finding, upon
examining their 'scash account" that
they had inadvertently passed one of the
little coins in place of a Eve cent piece,
persons of dim vision were subjected to
such mistakes. A few experiments Of
this nature soon determined them to re-
fuse tie gold dollar, and carry bank notes
instead. Indeed, a re- e-action was felt al
most Immediately after their issue, and,
instead cf anxiously seeking for them.
people were rapidly disposing of their
small stock. SO that in very brief peri
cd of time there were but few in circala-
ton. Since ls45 there have been near
ly eighteen millions OF these little coins
struck off at the various mints in the U.
S. Now these diminutive fragments of
gold are pouring into the various Sub.
treasures and overfowing in the vanlts
of custom houses. The experiment has
been failure. What renders the exis-
teLce OF this coin more annoying to the
custom house and Sub treasury officers is
that every time they are exchanged they
must each be counted, as, owing to the
facility with which they can be counter
feited and tampered with, it would be un.

DOUGLAS INSULTED AT MON rGOM-
ERY, ALA.-HE Is PELTED WITH

The Atlanta (Ga.) Southern Confed-
eracy Of last Saturday learns from a
highly respectable gentleman, who ar
rived !here that evening direct from Mont.
gomery, that Hon. Stephen A. Douglas.
on his arrival in Montgomery, was met
with shower Of rotten eggs. The Con
federacy says:
Think of it, patriots of the South! A
distinguished American citizen, a lava
biding man, patriot, statesman. a gen.
tleman holding high position in the coun.
els of the nation, and one WHO'S the can
dldate Of great party for the highest
Office in the gift of a free people, to be
offered the greatest conceivable indigni-
ty. And in what place was it that Mr..
Douglas received such treatment? AT
Montgomery, the hcme Of William L.
Yancey, the gentleman who has been
mainly instrumental in bringing this
Government to the very verge Of destruc
ton.
And because the patriot and slandered
Douglas chooses to meet the summons
of his fellow citizens in Montgomery, he
is greeted on his reception in that city by
rotten eggs, and the yells and Kisses oi
demons and fanatics.
Mr.. Yancey has recently canvassed
the Middle, Northern and North western
States in the dogmas. but i'll every IN
stance he has been met and treated like
a gentleman. But when distinguished
opponent, friend of the Constitution
and the Union, visits the house of Mr.
Yancey. he is met with rotten eggs and
other indignities.

PAY THE PRINTER.

A western editor, whose subscribers
evidently do not pay in advance, goes in
to print in six long stanzas. setting forth
the peculiar advantage to be obtained by
paying the printer" The subject is by
no means :ovel one:
All honest men attend to hear
The serious Eact-the times are dear.
Who owes a bill, It's Just as clear
AS starlight in the winter
That he should come without delay
hats if he can--hat bill to pay,
And ere he puts his purse away,
Fork over'' to the Printer.
The conclusion Of this poetical dunning
contains great deal Q! good advice, and
closes With very pretty climax:
Be simple just. and don't disgrace
Yourself but beg the Lord Of Grace"
To thaw that harden'd icy case,"
That honesty may entcr;

And all will have the ''tin" to sp re-;

wonK In THE FRUIT GARDEN.

Before the winter sets in, there are q
few things to be done with the trees and
vines. Among the peach trees. look out
for the borer. Take sharp. slim bladed
knife. and prick about the tree just above
the ground surface, wherever you see a
bunch Of gnm or any opening. Cut away
carefully and follow up the borer as old
Gen. Putnam did The wolf, and with the
point Of the knife or wire, kill him to
death in his holet
The grape vines may be pruned with
great advantage at this season. Such
vines as have fiuited fully the past sea-
son. should be cut back to within one
eve or the old wood. Select such Of the
new vines Of this year as you design for
next years fruiting. and cut away the
rest, then sec that the reserved vines are
well secured in their places for winter, SO
AS not 10 be swept about and broken by
storms.
The strawberry beds should now
have their coats for winter protection
Give them a good litter Of old straw
which will protect shem during the winter
and in the spring will make good feed
of manure for the land. In large pfanta.
tons of strawberries, put on three loads
Of straw to the acre.
Cut out the old bearing wood of all the
raspberry canes. except the Catawissa and
other ever bearing varieties, aad have the
tender sorts ready for laying down be-
fore all the fne weather is over. These
and other tender fruit canes or bushes,
which are too stiFf to be laid down and
covered. may be trussed about with
thatch Of straw, for winter protection.
And lastly. nou is about the time to
get ready your newspapers and twine. to
put all the little trees in their paper SUR
tou:s, to keep them FROM the teeth OF the
rabbits, as set forth by Mr.. Gallagher in
the Ohio Cultivator Of Sept, I. and it
