What Young People Should Know.

THE best inheritance that people can
leave children is the ability to help them
selves This is better than a hundred
thousand dollars apiece. In any trouble
or difficulty they will have two excellent
servants ready, in the shape Of their two
hands. Those who can DO nothing and
have to be waited on, are helpless, and
easily disheartened at the misfortunes of
life. Those who are active and hardy
meet troubles with a cheerful face, and
soon surnount them Let young people,
therefore, learn to do as many different
things as possiblej
Every farmers boy should know how,
sooner or later,
l. To dress himself, black his own
shoes, cut his brothers hair, wind a
watch, sew-on button, make a bed, and
keep all his clothes in perfect order.
2. To harness a horse, grease a wagon
and drive ateam.
3. To carve, and wait on the dinner
table. ner
4. Milk the COWS, shear the sheep, and
dress veal or mutton. -f raa .a.
5. TOreckon money, and keep accounts
accurately and according to good book
keeping rules .r ..aJ
6. To write a neat, appropriate, brief
ly expressed business letter, in good
hand, and to fold and subscribe it prop
orIy
Z. To plow, SOW grain and grass seed.
drive a moving machine, swing a scytho,
a stack and load of hay.
s. To put up package, build a FIRE.
whitewash wall, mend broken tools, and
regulate a clock.
There are many other things that would
render boys more useful to themselves
and others-these are merely specimen
But the young man who can do all these
things well, and who is ready at ali times
to assist others, will command far more
re Fcct and esteem than If he knew mere

The Draft in Pittaburgg. g

THE Pittsburg Gazette has the follow
ing relative to the draft which took place
in that city on the 9Th inst.
"There was a good deal of excitement
in the city yesterday, consequent upon
the commencement of the draft, and du-
ring the drawing the Office of Captain
Foster, the Provost Marshal, was filled
with very anxious and deeply interest
ed audience.
"Among some of the more noticeable
features we're the following: The Enroll
ment Commissioner, Mr.. William H
Campbell, while busily engaged drafting
others, was himself so fortunate as to
draw prize One of the clerks, Capt
McHenry, was also drafted, as was the
Ex- Provost Marshal, DR.. Heron. No
one will be disposed, with these facts in
view, to question the fairness of the draw
ing.
James II, Hopkins, Esq who had
been enrolled in two wards, was drafted
in. both.
In some instances two young men were
drawn from the same family. This was
the case with Mr.. Houston, tailor, Of
Smithfeld-street, and James Hamell,
champion oarsman, (who is now in Tic
east preparing for his contest with Ward,
and his brother, John"

ELooUENCE. - We like fine writing
when it is properly applied; so We ap-
preciate the following burst Of oloquence
in contemporary: As the ostrich uses
both legs and wings when the Arabian
courser bounds in her rear-as the wing
ed lightnings leap from the heavens when
the thunderbolts are loosed-so does a
little negro run when a big dog is after
him"

THOSE marriages generally prove the
happiest when the affections of the young
are blessed by the appreciation of the
wisdom Of those older The young alone
are too blind for prudence, and the pa
rents alone would be too cautious to be
sufficiently trusting at times to favoring
Providence and the unknown future. But
where reasonable parents and reasonable
young folks act with full confidence in
each others love, and oonfde in each
other fully and frankly, there it is that
future happiness is naturally to be expec-
ted.

purposes. This shows the great enterprise OF
