A WoEp TO THE Yousa.-Turning aside
from the hustle and coraaset;<.- af IL Political
world, and shutting our minds eye to the agita-
ting and perplexing topics which are jarring and
troubling the Nation, we bent our thoughts, a
f,w evenings since, upon the beauties of nature
and the happiness, which might be ours, if we
could but bring ourselves properly to seek it.
The youth, the rising generation of our country,
naturally claimed our attention, and while with
sorrow in our very soul at the thought of what
often is, the reflection of what may well be-
filed us with pleasure. To our mind there is
no object 50 beautiful to look upon, as con-
sciencious young man, and virtuous, modest
young woman. When we see youth growing
up in the paths of rectitude, under the guardian
ship of an unsullied conscience, pure and spot
less as it first came from the hand of its Creator,
we can dwell with delight upon the contempla-
tive destiny of that youth. Trained to listen to
the slightest promptings of conscience and prof
fit by it's every teaching, there can be but little
doubt as to the future life of such. When the
school of experience has stored bis mind with
wisdom, and time has brought him to the years
of maturity, his early training will then prove
itself in a remarkable degree, and greatness
awaits him, in what particular sphere soever he

al intellect and genius, and blessed with share
of industry and energy, the path of fame is open
to him, and the highest position, Of the great
good man, is attainable. He may, and will be
trusted to power and position.
What an incentive then, young man, should
this be, tocultivate virture and honesty. Though
clouds may sometimes obscure the sky of his
destiny and shut him out for time, from our
view, like the glorious sun of light, his bright
ness is only hidden, not dimmed, and like the
same sun of day, will burst asunder the hiding
clouds, dispel their gloom and shine forth, with
brightness, only the more appreciated for the
contrast.
No corruption can reach the strictly conscien-
cIOuS young man. No eVH GeluptdtlouS Call
turn him from his course, or lead him from the
path of duty be that duty what it may; and
when he has arrived at the pinnacle of fame and
is surrounded by aattering multitude of cour-
tiers, his heart is proof against their temptations
and wiles, bis soul is unsulied by their fattery.
Should SANDER and calumny level their poisoned
darts at him, their efforts are vain and their
poisoned shafts fall harmless at his feet the
shield of conscience has blunted their points and
destroyed their venom.
And the virtuous, modest young woman, we
love to look upon. Her sphere may be limited,
but be it ever so small, there is an influence,
which she must and will have, which is all re-
sponsible. Tis the Office of woman to form and
. train the minds of men to bring them up for
future lives of honor and greatness, or for dis
honor and disgrace; to lead man on to virtue !;
to soothe his aching heart
asTo harmonic mankind
Soften the rude and calm the boisterous mind -
to soothe mans pathway on the rough journey
of life; soften his dying pillow wipe away the
cold, clamy death damp from his brow, and di-
rect his soul in its voyage to Heaven. Who can
