OUR ATTACHMENT LIFE

The young man, till thirty, never feels prac-
tcally that he is mortal. He knows it, in
deed. and, if need were, he could preach a
homily on the fragility of life but he brings

HAD HIM THERE.-Judge c., member OF
one of our best families, and himself occupy
ing high position at the bar, as well as soci-
ally, was going M the river last fall on slow
steamboat; and of course entered into all the
familiar companionship common to travellers
thrown together for week with nothing to do.
There was one man aboard who, learning the
Judges name announced that it was the same
as his own. and instantly claimed kin with him.
The Judge thought differently but with per-
feet good nature answered the innumerable
genealogical inquiries propounded to him,
while at each reply the bore would exclaim,
''Why, sir, we're kin as sure as Pm alve!''
At length the fellow bacame uncomfortable
with his pertinacity and questioning; and To-
sing all patience, at last Judge c. turned up
on his tormento with the abrupt remark
ssWell, perhaps we are relations. Are you
white man 90
ssWhite man!'' shouted the bore, leaping
from his chair ssI'd like to see the man who
would say l wasn't!''
ssAh!' continued the Judge, very quietly,
sswell my father pds mulatto 20
You may rest assured that Judge c. was
tormented no more on that trip, nor even re-
cognized by the man who lately claim
ing relationship with him, while the other
passengers enjoyed the joke immensely.

DRIVE ON.-The best advice to the young
man just setting out in the world, is to ssdrive
on" In other words, live energetically
And do it we'll. Do it, as far as possible, in
the completest manner. In this way alone can
an efficient, useful and successful career be ac-
complished. s'Drive on.'' But not reckless
ly. We suppose that whoever gives this short
article perusal, will understand that it is ad-
dressed to young men who think before they
act; who are, in short, possessed of little
common sense, such as every young man
should strive to obtain, and without which he
viii be poor, indeed. Davy, or David, which
is all the same, as of old, was shrewd fellow
once said, ssBe sure you are right, then go
ahead" Whether or not Crockett gave utter
ance TO the saying, it contains great truth
and the wisest of counsel. 1t means simply
this-Study aud know what is best, what right,
what honorable, what useful, what profitable
in life, and then drive on, neither to the right
or left. Why so many young men fail in life
Why they look upon the retrospect with so lit
tie to rejoice over and so much 10 regret, is to
be found in the fact that they have not started
right, and driven on as they ought. Their en-
ergies have been spent in the wrong direction,
and have proved fruitless OF good. They have
failed either 10 comprehend the true purposes
and ends of life, or have allowed themselves
to cowardiy evade them. ssDrive on'' should
be the motto of all young men. Let them
know themselves, know what they purpose in
life, and they will have none but themselves
tn blame if they do not succeed.

LEAVING HoME.-We can conceive of no
picture more interesting than one which might
be drawn from young man leaving his home,
the scene of all his earthly associations, to try
his fortune in distant country, setting out a
lone for the "forest." A father on the de-
cline, the downhill of life, gives his parting
blessing, involing the best gifts of Heaven TO
rest on his beloved offspring, to crown all his
effort with complete success; tears gush from
his eyes, and words are forbid utterance. A
kind, most afectiopate mother, calling after
him as he is departing from the parental abode
and with all the dangers to which he is TO DO
exposed rushing into and pressing uponzher
mind, she says, $50 my son-remembert tere
is right and a wrong way" Her advice IS
brief. Language is inadequate to the express
sion of the feelings that then crowd on the
mind of yirtuous child. Every reader has
case of this kind, and may have been the sub
ject of one in some respects similar. Here
may be found eloquence more touching to
whom it is delivered than even the orations OF
Cicero or Demostheneel tr

A TERRIBLE RoMANcE.-In the wear 1855
young girl of very prepossessing appearance
from one Of the interior provinces of France,
was placed at Paris in the service of a man
depraved 10y all the vices of that corrupt me-
tropols. Smitten with her charms, he at
tempted her ruin, but vas unsuccessful. In
cenSed at his defeat, he determined on re-
venge, and, in furtherance of his design, Sc
cretly placed in her trunk articles belonging
to him, and marked with his name. He then
denounced her to a magistrate, who caused
her to be arrested, and the missing articles
being found in her possession, she was brought
to trial. In her defence she could only assert
her ignorance of the manner in which the
property came into her trunk, and protested
her innocence. She found guilty, aud
the sentence of death was pronounced upon
her. The hangmans office was inefficiently
performed, it being the first attempt of the
executoner's son. The body was delivered
into the hands of a surgeon, by whom it had
been purchased. He Immediately conveyed
it home, and was proceeding to dissect it,
when be perceived slight warmth about the
heart. By the prompt use of proper rem edies
he restored the suspended animation. In the
mean time he had sent for trustworthy priest,
and when the unfortunate girl opened her
eyes she supposed herself in another world
and addressing the priest (who was man of
marked and majestic countenance.) exclaim-
ed "Eternal Father, you know my innocence;
have pity on me ~ In her simplicity believ-
ing she beheld her Maker, she continued to
sue for mercy, and it was some time before
she realized she still in the land of the liv-
ing. The surgeon and priest, being fully con-
viDced of her innocence, she retired to VIII
lage far distant from the scene of her unjust
punishment. The community subsequently
became acquainted with her story, and the 'au-
thor OF her misery became an object of re-
proach and contempt, though it does not ap-
pear that any attempt was made 10 bring him
to justice.
