f Election times being over now. we
earnestly call upon the trends of the Age to
exert themselves to ~recuperate our list of
subscribers. A great many, during these
exciting times, have suffered their subscrip-
ton years to expire without renewing
These may nearly all be induced to subscribe
again, and many new ones may be procured,
by personal application. A little effort, on
the part OF our friends, will ell up our list
again. We have never appealed in vain to
our subscribers for their aid, and we feel sure
we shall not on this occasion. Come. Ladies'
as well as Gentlemen, give us a lift.

ARTHUK's MAGAzIsE-We will say, as we
have said maybe for the hundredth time,
that this Magazine and its accomplished and
highly esteemed editor, Mr.. I. S Arthur,
have always been fayorites with us. We
have in past days read with deep interest, his
stories, deiineating character so true to life
that the picture would stand before our en-.
raptured vision, almost as 4 living reality
Who has never read his moral and religious
stories OF every day life, as we live it, in our
own experience, and see it in that of Others
around as? There is a beauty, pathos and
moral sublimity, in the writings and teach,
ings of such a man, and when he shall @lie
under the stone" his epitaphist may wel,
venture to say, that the world has been bet
tered by his having lived in it Can there b,

The Last of a Drunkard.

Ne were panied the other day in reading
the lastnote ola young suicide to his moth
er, just before he committed the fatal act
There are indications in that short note, that
he was a young man of generous impulses,
who had been raised under good Influence and
still remembered his mother. There was
another whom he had not forgotten. He
had pledged his faith to her and was not in
sensible to her claims upon him. But he
felt, young as he was, he was adoomed drum
kard. All hope ofreform had fed from his
bosom, and now the question was settled,
that he must end his life at once, rather than
be a disgrace and a nuisance to those he low
ed. Fatal error, yet the demon of despair
has thrown many a one beyond the pale of
recovery in the same way.
Now it is evident that young man might
have been saved by proper effort. There
were strong reasons why he might have de-
sired to live; and the love he bore to his
mother and his affianced one, formed the full
crum upon which a lever might have been
placed to prize him out of the filth and ruin
into which intemperance had thrown him.
But perhaps his instability and his utter
prostraction had led his friends to believe
that nothing could save him, hence they PASS
ed him by, as a case beyond reach.
Thousands have thus been 1dfned. One
after another has thus hurried himself from
life, because no one bad the courage, the
boldness and the perseverance to follow
them to the precipice, Its often the case, that
is the very point of reflection, the turning
point 10 the history ofsueh men, if there was
some one bold enough to follow them to thu
Drank. What need is there for such men in
the ranks of Temperance at this day ? VIVA

awarded, by o high, digniRed selfrespect;
and don't go bringing and whining at the feet
oil others as though you were their info
riors. 1t is the surest way in the world to
make them think you are. Don't stand
there, Hal, trembling with fear about Oph-
elias wealth, or aristocratic notions. If you
love her, why march up bravely and storm
the citadel; if she is worthy of you, and re-
ciprocates your feelings, she will not refuse
you and if she does, why snap your fin
gers and thank your stars that you escaped
being caught by such a sorry bird. But
dont go off and whine about her rejecting
you because you were a mechanic, and con-
elude that all others are like her. This is
humitiating to yourself in the first place
and secondly, it is doing injustice to the
other Ophelias-there are plenty of them
that will take a. noble, manly fellow like you
and bestow not only her precious self and
all she holds dear upon you, but show her
full confidence in you by vesting in her hus-
band her right and title to all her earthly
possessions.
The last figure on your canvas is Miss
Sophie" If you have given her true char
acter, she is not worth troubling your brains
about. Let her marry some brainless, worth
less fop, and be brought to poverty and
wretchedness, as thousands of her class
have done before her. But it looks like
there is a little bit of the ''green-eyed mon
ster' mixed up in that description. Perhaps
she has given you the ''mitten," Ell? Well,
let her go. There are plenty of others not like
her and "well worthy your serious attention"
as is justly observed by d~iscoursers on other
important. matters.
And now, Hal, let me close with a few
general remarks: You say you would like
to get married. Well, you have your pick
out of all creation but the trouble is, there
is such a variety Of roses and lilies in the
market that you distrust your own judg
ment, and burst not make a selection lest
you should not get the best.
Poor, dear Hall | do not pity you much.
l only wish you had a little more selfre-
lance, and a little less fear of the ladies'
They are not such terrible, strong-minded, ex
travagant arti cles, after all. Many of then
are really beautiful and interesting. To b,
sur our fashionable seminaries turn ouf
some very simple specimens of womankind
but you are not obliged to make your Sc
lection from this assorted lot; you are no
obliged to marry a manufactured article.
There are natural, noble, pure, high-soul
ed, free thinking independent women in tn
land, and they make a man the very bes
kind of a wife-but let me whisper one wor'
q in your ear, they will not marry you unles
you are, every inch Of you, a whole+souled
worthy man!
have no sympathy with that man VIII
condemns the whole female sex for the follie
: and extravagances of the few. He ought
y make himself worthy of a pure and lovel
woman, and they should possess discern
ment enough to select such an one.
Now, Hal, what do you say to making IL
experiment. and telling us the result ?

talLty statistics, compiled from the last CEN
sus, show that the people of the United
States are ths healthiest On the globe. The
deaths are three hundred and twenty tbou-
sand peg year, or one and = half peg cent. of
the population. In England the ratio is near
two per cent. Virginia aad North Carolina
are the healthiest Of the States, and have
six hundred and ~thirtyeight inhabitants
over one hundred years of age. These fig-
ures, however, may all be reversed by the
next census, for the medical schools we're
never more fiourishing, tweniy-six colleges
having graduated last year about thirteen
hundred doctors.

Home Homei

How few among the gay, t~houghtless yonag
crowd who throng the avenues Of travel and
pleasure, who know any thing of the value of
home, The pressure of heat. OF the sickli-
ness of home, or the dullness of the season,
or some other cause, force at this season
thousands from home, who are to spend
months on the tramp or in the giddy whirl
of pleasure. Business, regular habits, the
care of children or domesticS, are all given
up for the nence, and they pass into
scenes new, exciting, but often %ruinous.
The mind becomes light, airy or inert
Nothing to do begets = desire for something,
and the mind will have employment at any
cost. The ~virtuous mind at home, is easily
turned when abroad, into a vicious channel,
and the regular duties and habits of home
life, are exchanged for proftless if not per-
nicious ones, until all order, system and duty
are neglected. Who returns home benefited
if three or four months have been spent in
the rounds of amusement Most persons
suffer greatly, except those whose time is
spent at home much the same way as abroad,

pirate about the dignity, worth and moral

than Ophelia orher 'ta1istocratic" Papa does.
l have often heard of young men of your

own fault, if they have. The Mechanic, if

much deserving the confidence, respect

and a little more manly self respect on
their part, would more certainly ensure it,
than this whining can't Of halfadmitted in
