For Young Men.

Give young man taste for reading,
and in that single disposition you have
furnished him with great safeguard. He
has found al home that which others have
10 seek abroad, namely, pleasnrabIe excite
ment. He las learned to think even when
bis book is no longer in his hand, and it is
for want Of thinking that youth go to
ruin.
Some Of those who have been most emf
nent in learning and science made their
first attainments in sna' ches Of time stolen
from manual employment. Hans Sachs,
the poet Of the Reformation, and the Burns
Of Germany, began life as did Burns, a
poor boy be was a taiIor's son and served
an pprenticeship, first to shoemaker and
to weaver, and continued to work at the
loom as long as be lived. The great dram.
atist, Ben. johnson, was a working brick
layer, and afterward soldier. LinuGus,
the father Of modern botany, was once
on the shoemaker's bench Oar immortal
Franklin, it need scarcely be said, was a
printer. HerSchel, whose name is incribed
on the heavens, was the son of poor
musician, aud at the age of fourteen years
was placed in band attached to the Han
overian guards. After going to England
he undertook to teach music, and then
became an organist. But while he was
supporting himself in this way, he
learning italian, Latin and even Greek.
From music he was naturally led to mathe
matics, aud thence to optics and astronomy
John DollaDd, the inventor of the achro
matte telescope, spent bis early years a
the silk loom and continued in bis origna
business even for some years after his e ldes
son came 10 an age to join him in IT, Few
cases are more celebrated than hat of Gif
ford, the founder and editor of the Our.
teriy RerieU. He was an orphan, aud
barely escaped the poor-house. He be.

ward for six years apprenticed to shoe.
maker. In this last employment he stole
time from the last for arithmetic aud al

used to work ont his problems on leather
with bunted nw. Few names are more
noted in modern literature.

THE EMPTY CRADLE.

In the lonely quiet chamber
There's an empty cradle bed,
With print upon the pillow
Ofa baby's shining head.
'Tis fair and dainty cradle,
Downy soft with pillows white,
But Within the blanket folded
Lies no little form tonight.
Once the mother sat beside it,
When the day Yas growing dim
And her pleasant voice was singing
Soft and low a cradle hymn.
Now there's no more need ofsingiug
When the evening shadows creep,
For the cradle bed is empty,
And the baby gone to sleep.
Little head that used TO nestle
In the pillows white and soft
Little hands whose restless fingers
Folded there in dreams so soft
Lips we pressed with fondest kisses
Eyes we praised for puress ray
Underneath the churchyard daisies
They have hidden all away.
Alb, the empty, useless cradle
We will put it out of sight,
Lest our hearts should grieve too sorely
For the little one to night.
We will think how safe forever
In the better field above
That young lamb for which we sorrow
Resteth now In Jesus love.

Jacob Barker and the Money-Changer.

jacob Barker, many years ago offered
some good paper for discount in one of the
Wall-streetS banks, and, when the board
of directors met, they, after matured del.
Iteration, threw the paper ont. which dis
pleased friend Jacob, aud he consequently
sought revenge, for what he considered
rather ungentleman'y treatment. A few days
elapsed when Jacob presented forty hous.
and dollars of the bauk and demanded the
specie, which was rolled out to him in kegs
Of one thousand dollars each-the teller oi
the bank informing him that they regretted
that they were obliged to give him small
coin-6ve and ten-cent pieces Here was
q dilemma but being equal to the emer-
gency Jacob requested the porter to un-
head the casks, which being done, Jacob
took handful of the coin from each, and
request the teller to place the remainder
to his credit. 1t was said at the time,
that it required the whole available force
of the institution to count the coin.

Revolution, 10 let the fire run over oil stub
ble ground before blowing it in the fall or

AUTUMN OR WRITER MANUR1Ne THE BEsr.
The Country Gentleman says Nearly
all the benefits of autumn manuring may
be secured, where cattle and other animals
are kept in stables or warm easements, by
drawing out the manure during the com.
parutively leisure time of winter, and
spreading it at once on the lands. The
winter rains, whenever they occur, aud ell
the spring rains, win give It thorough
washing, and carry the liquid into the soil !;
but such places must be selected for this
purpose as will not favor the accumulation
Of water into brooks or streams, and thus
carry of the manure altogether Grass
lands are much the best for this treatment
by tending to retain the manure. Nothing
is better for gardens that are to be enrich
ed for spring crops, than autumn or winter
application of manure aud newly planted
trees, dwarf pears, strawberry beds, &c.,
receive great deal of protection against
cold by such coafings, which are to be
turned in in spring. .,i
