A WORD IN SEAsoN.-A contemporary very
pertnently wonders what those young men
90, who may be seen stroling through the
streets until the midnight hour. In COM
menting upon the subject, he says: sNo
doubt after imbibing sundry glasses of lager,
etc, they feel refreshed for any game chance
may throw in their way; and being at the
slme when all persons Of propriety are wrap
ped in their slumbers, they carry on their
Vaccinations with bolder front. Would it
not be better for these y0uag sparks if they
would stay at home and Improve their minds 2
ferhaps, however, they consider themselves
ALarned enuff for their stashun.'" These re-
marks apply with the same force, to many of
our young men. Not content with stultfying
themselves with intoxicating drinks, many Of
'nem spend their evenings, aye, and the "small
aours," too at places where they can learn no
good. Let them take the advice Of our CO.
temporary make men of themselves instead
destroying their health, character, and fu-
'ofe prospects in return for that which they
iaisely call pleasure. There are many of our
young men who would be bettered by follow
'ng this advice; let them attend to it.

THE FOLLY OF TRYING TO CoNCILLIATE.--Rev.
r. j. Breckinridge, d. D., of Kentucky, in a
late speech at Cincinnati, showed the folly of
attempting to concilliate rebels. He said
"lt is an error to suppose that to treat an
enemy at all, is through mercy, if that enemy
Is one that by every conceivable means has
shut his heart against you, and is determined
TO ruin you. The danger becomes greater.
greater and greater. l know what am re-
ferring to-l know am speaking of things
that have transpired thirty years ago. Iknow
that these men who seek to subvert the Con-
st tuition re not capable of being conciliated
ana the only way to treat them is to crush
them, and to crush them is the only thing TO
be done''
