incentive % our sons al times 20 rally with patriotic
ardOr to the standard Of che Unon whenever il may be
endangered By foes without faeonis within the Dor
ders OF oar Commonwealth
We would suggest the sh Of January the day Of its

CulEAcrrE-A good character is a taIisman which
can never be vrestsd from ~ and il il IS lost alone
are bameabe We nav not be possessed OF wealth. and
poverty may threaten Us; still IL preserve our char
ac.er intact have source OF consolation within as
which cannot be described. We may have enemies;
they may eudeayor crush Us BY deianng u and may
or time seem 70 succeed; yet If good character is
MOI fictitious We despise their attempts, aud come
out Of the ordeal better for the Efforts that have been
mode 70 ruin IT,
There have been persons who have borne a superior
character Tor q long time and which, by some unicse-
seen accident has proved 10 be al sham, aud there
are doubtless a great many uOE living whose example
Is thought be worth following, but whose reputation
for uprghtness e they were as we'll known AZ they
should De- would be soon damaged But !, a a difficult
for them always to show the bright side, and sud
dcaly before they aware that they have exposed
themselves the truth disclosed, and they are compel
led 70 throw aside The mask which they have 50 long
worn. The possessor Of character which is truly good
aud not fictitious will always respect himself and Eil
ao be respected by others; he will always find trends
Who vi help him uheu necessary and give him encou--
az neut when he most needs It. But Sho Is it that viii
respect trust one who discovered 20 have bad char
acter 10 BE- promises reform he NAV be ENCOURAGED
20 iuh his promises; but be is not fully trusted sus-
pcous eve is always him and il Is ouly Aztec long
time when he j. found % have really amended his Ee,
that be Is received into favor FROM the hardship that
is 10 De undergone In re-esabshng bis character from
bad % good &c should teach all 70 beware how they 10
awning which would iujure their good name. The
void would seem, is possessed OF marvellous saga
city n discovering ainss. and Is sloE TO ioreiye
treu conscgu ny, 10 Is marx Of wisdom 20 not allow
our fellow creatures say anything that IS defogatcry
10 u.s. and The suret way to prevent them Is 70 establish,
on a firm basis, COED character.
OrGur TO uz AnArED.-There Is probably no grca'e-
annoyance TO which visitors Of places Of Amusement or
recreation are sut i,c,ed than that occasioued by he
crowds Of rude aud boerous boys who beset every place
o. the Kind IN our city. Until very lately it vas impcs
sbe for any one 70 approach the Theatre without being
crowded upon and bcseged by several Of these pCss
begging either for a dime 70 assist IN getting ticket
for check. The Mayor has detailed police 20 attend
20 this place and the grievance Ais almost ceased 20
1T there But u appears now IN another quarter, Sh,re
l. bid, fair increase both in quantity and quality. We
refer the Mechanics Institute. The night schools a
this Institution number amoUg their scholars some Que
hundred or more boys and i; having been found mex
pedie1t to allow them TO enter the schoorooms beio
the hour Of opening because they destroyed the iurr
re and property Of The schoooom, the doors are Kept
closed until Ctarv eight O'Clock and up 70 ana irtQueh
" after this hour they assemble around ths door and
pas ages and race up and down the stairs without the
IT, 8 restraint Our attention has been called TO this
stiee' az this tine by visitors TO the Ladies Fair,
many Of whom have found difficulty 10 forcing their way
through the juvenile mob which surrounded the door OF
the main entrance while their offended by the
profanity and ugary which freely expended Let
a corrective b. applied.
USIYoRx rHE NuIriA.-If the commanders Of Req
meu,s Of the Line aud particularly those in the cities
would promote the et.ieaey Of heir commandsle them
prescribe cheap uniform consist Of blue tanue Shirt
gazsd cap etc fund could be easily raised oy public
subscriptions 70 furnish uniforms TO those unable or UNI
" ling 10 purchase for themselves. Il the men were
uniformed they would take more interest in the orgau
xlion and the rdcue which attaches 70 the militia sys
ten would be greatly diminished.
TuKArRE-Tbe "Magic Bridal" is announced for to-
night During the performance Of this piece, Satur
d.v night Mr. Peter Rchngs received Painful injury
10 his right Lex BY tripping against stool and falling
heavily upon the stage He disabled by the fall
ana had 10 be conveyed 70 his lodgings He had paru
ally recovered We terday but will scarcely be able 10 APP
par tonight Should be BE- unable TO appeal Mr. Bal
~ will take the character.
No WonRr-So many worthless medicines are adv,s~
tsed for the cure o. various diseases and when tried
"found wanting that the invalid loses I'll faith in spec
as We have vet 10 learn however OF the first failure
Of WTsfar's Baisafa o. Wiii Cherry TO curs coughs
colds and pulmonary diseases.
