SEAsoNABLE AND SENSIBLE ADyIOE.-Iti is very
clear, from the signs of the times, that as a ma
tion, we have got to cconomizo this winter.-
The poor, who are being thrown out of employ
ment in unusual numbers, will learu the rules of
economy from stern necessity, To such per-
sons the New York Sunday Times gives this ad.
vice:
Economic wisely, but with careful thought
and study so to do it as to make it pinch least
those who are poorer. Don't buy anything you
don't really want, of course but do buy as near
the same amount from small dealers as you have
been in the habit of doing. There is not half
the charity in giving to people out of work as
keeping people in work, and enable them to
make alittle for themselves. Also, If you must
economic, gentlemen, and we admit you must,
do it on luxuries- extra cigars, private drinks,
useless little fopperies of dress, and such things;
but give your tailor, halter, bootmaker, &c., az
fair ''living show" as you desire others to do
to you in tight times And you, ladies, retrench
on the balls, PARTIES jewelry and expensive plea
sures but remember that your dressmaker lives
by her needle, and have womanly sympathy
fot her and her sister industrials. In short, let
every body, whilst they economics, as an act of
justice to themselves, do it, if possible SO that it
may be as little possible an act of injustice to
others. f 8. ,r4..

We were not many-we who stood
Before the iron sleet that day.
Yet many gallant spirit would
Give half his years, if he but could
Have been with rs at Monterey.
Now here. now there, the shot is hailed
In deadly drifts of fiery spray, a5
Yet not single soldier quailed
When wounded comrades round them walled
Their dying shouts at Monterey.
And on, still on, our column kept,
Through walls of fame its withering way;
Where fell the dead. the living slept.
Still charging on the guns which swept
The slippery streets of Monterey.
The foe himself recoiled aghast,
When, striking where the strongest lay,
We swooped its fanking batteries past,
And Drawing full their murderous blast.
Stormed home the towers of Monterey.
Our banners on the turrets wave.
And there the evening bugles play,
Where orange boughs above their grave
Keep green the memory of the brave
Who fought and fell at Monterey.
We are not many-we who press'd
Beside the brave who fell that day;
But who of US has not confessed
He'd rather share their warrior rest.
Than not have been at Monterey.

A letter from Hon. VIM. W. Boyce, of South
Carolina, to friend in Massachusetts,, says the
Boston Transcript of Thursday, asserts that the
Government is going to pieces, and that he re-
grets the destruction of the Union for the sake
of the negro, who is better off in his present
condition. Mr.. Boyce says the territorial ques-
tion is humbug, and that in all the new Ter
ritories the Wimot Proviso has been passed by
nature. The South will dissolve the Union, ao-
cording to Mr.. Boyce, because the philosophy of
the Republican party is emancipation, although
the Republican leaders disclaim such an idea.

BOYS OUT AT NIaHT--I have been an observ-
er, as am syInpathizing lover of boys.
like to see them happy, cheerful, gleesoLe. In
deed can hardly understand how q high-toDed
man can be the ripened fruit of a boy who had
not enjoyed full share of the glad privileges
due to youth. But while watch with q very
jealous eye all rights and customs which en-
trench upon the proper rights of boys, l am
equally apprehensive lest parents who are for
getful and who have not habituated themselves
to close observation upon this subject, permit
their sons indulgencies which are almost certain
to result in their demoralization if not in their
total ruin; and among the habits which have
observed tending most surely to ruin, know OF
none more prominent than that of parents per-
mitting their sons to be in the streets after
night fall.
It is ruinous to their morals in all instances
They acquire, under the cover of night, an
unhealthy state of mind-bad, vulgar, immoral,
and profane language, obscene practices, crimi-
nal sentiments, lawless and riotous bearing
Indeed, it is in the street after nightfal that the
boys principally acquire the education of the
bad, and capacity for becoming rowdy, disco
Lutte, criminal men. Parents should in this par
tcular, have rigid and inaexible rule, that
will not permit a son, under any circumstances
whatever to go in the streets after night-fall
Win Wow OI engaging III Ouu-Oi-uOOr sports, VI
meet with other boys for social chance oc-
cupation. A right rule of this kind, i1saria-
oily adhered to, will soon deaden the desire for
such dangerous practices
Boys should be taught to have pleasures a
round the family centre table, in conversation
and quiet amusements. Boys are seen in the
streets after nightfall, behaving 10 a manner en-
trely destructive of all good morals.
Fathers and Mothers, keep your children home
at night, see that you take pains to make your
homes pleasant attractive, and profitable to
them: and, above ALL with view of their se-
ourity from destruction, let them not become,
while forming their character for life, so accuse
toned to disregard the moral sense of shame as
to openly violate the Sabbath-day in street
pastimes during its day or evening hours.

AN AsToNIsHED CLERGYMAN AND \ CAN
DID alking up Chestnut
street yesterday morning, we were over
taken by a reverend clergyman. Err
roneously supposing that reporters some
times run opposition to their own lines, the
clergyman asked the news. The clergy
man and the reporter continued their walk
to the corner of Thirteenth and Chestnut
streets. AT this point, hard-looking Gus
toner arrested their progress. The stranger
was glorious specimen of the genus
"loafer." He was illy-dressed, -behayed,
and his entire wardrobe would have been
rejected as too nasty for use by the lowest
dealer in carpet rags. More than this, the
odor exhaled from his person was not a per-
fume, and there was dirt enough upon his
face and hands to make large sized mud
pie.
He was q polite vagabond, however. He
touched his hat deferentially and opened
out:
"Good morning, gentlemen"
The clergyman started. The reporter re-
turned the salute. .-..r
"Gentlemen," continued the loafer, /"
amt on the whine. I amt a bit hungry,
and know it's no use humbugging class
of people like you"
Inc eleIgymuh apPfecldteu Ine cOmpu-
ment and asked the man:
What is your wish 2"
"Why," said he, III tell you. l amt
goin to come the hungry dodge on you-I
don't want any thing to eat. want my
bitters, and badly, too, I seed yOu aoa'
sporting men, an know'd you'd understand
me. Give us ftp gentlemen, know you
can feel for man that hasn't had drink
for two days"
The minister, at the idea of being taken
for sporting man, was struck aghast and
stood upon the sidewalk picture of utter
horror. The reporter handed the loafer a
dime, and the twain resumed their walk.
We can understand the feelings of starv-
ing man when a dish of meat is placed be-
fore him; we can appreciate the gratitude
of a wounded soldier when q canteen of
water is held to his lips. But such an ex-
preston of joy and gratitude as that which
wreathe1 the face Of that thirsty tippler of
yesterday we never before saw upon o hui
man face. The reverend clergyman ad-
mitted to us that in all his experience he
never felt a similar sensation. He even
forgot in it the oddity of the beggar's mis-
take in taking him for "sporting char
acter."-PhiJadelphia North American.

WIT AND WISDOM.

AN IRISH ADvERTIsEMENT.-If the gen.
tleman who keeps a shoe-shop with red
head will return the umbrella of o young
lady with an ivory handle, he will hear of
something to her advantage.
Lady-"Dear me, Count, you don't look
we'll to-day"
Count--"O! have done ware foolish ting
ware foolish ting-I have wash my neck !"
Lady Mary Wortley Montague said that
woman's tears were like the rattle of
rattlesnake, an indication of maliguity and
imminent danger.
Matrimony has been defined to be 'an in
sane desire to pay some woman's board"
The best capital to begin life with is oapi-
tai wife.
When we asked man a few days ago
what induced him to make law student of
his son, he replied
"Oh, he was always a lying little cuss,
and l thought l would humor his leading
propensity"
The moral hero is one whose voice is Of
ten at first alone, still small voice in the
moral desert against the wind and the earth
quake and the fire of strong and evil pos
sion.
A real lady never gossips. She is too
thoughtful, too amiable, too modest TO gos-
sip. Gossiping women are not womanly
| ladies.
Model wives formerly took stitch in
time" now with the aid of sewing machines,
they take one in time.
You may speak out more plainly to your
associates, but not less cOurteously than you
do to strangers. .........
People live uncommon long at Brighton.
There are two men there so old that they
have forgotten who they are, and there is
nobody alive who can remember it for
them.
Punch says: Women are said to have
stronger attachments than men. 1t is not
so. Strength Of attachment is evinced in
little things. A man is often attached 10
an old hat but did you ever know of a
woman having an attachment for an old
bonnet? Echo answers Never ,"
SoRGHUM.-The new sugar-cane seems to
have been extensively cultivated throughout
the West this year. A correspondent writing
from Chicago, says;
find, on inquiry, that the production Of
sirup from the cultivation of the sorghum is
much more extensive in this State than any
one had an idea Of Efforts have been made
from come quarter during the past two years
to discourage its cultivation by our farmers.
But, notwithstanding this, the high price of
sugar and the low price Of cereals have in
duced many of our farmers TO enter into the
business, and whole counties will have an
abundant supply for home consumption, and
some will have surplus for their neighbors.
In Lasalle County-which ranks among the
northern counties of the State-for instance,
it is estimated by those well acquainted with
the business that two thousand five hundred
barrels of sirup- will be produced this year.
This will be equal to eighty seven thousand
gallons, and will be worth at least S35, 900 to
the people Of the, county. This is but a
| specimen--a favorable one-of what Illinois
is doing in the saccharine line, Should the
war continue the high price of sugar, look
out for declaration of independence from
the West on this head. II Secession works
mischief in one wsy, it tends to bring about
good in another.
