tending to Emigrate to America
Every European steamer arriving al
our ports brings a vast number ofyoung
men from the "old country who have
resolved to strike boldly out and secure
for themselves d home in the New
World, which is offered to all iadustri-
GUS heads and hands that are willing to
work for it. Unfortunately, however,
the greater portion Of those who come
to our shores have no fixed idea or pro-
gralnme for future guidance. They ar
rive totally unknown and friendless, and
not unfrequently get disbearened, vain
ly expecting to obtain a situation in a
few days, Or week at most. Some,
indeed, think that fortunes are to be had
for the mere trouble of picking up.
This is aptly illustrated by the story of
native OF the Emerald Isle, who, upon
landing, started to take a walk up
Broadway. On the way he saw a sill
yer dollar lying on the roadside. He
looked at it awhile, and exclaimed,
"Sure, an would l be picking up the
like o ye, when | have only got to 90
to 'Goold Street and pick up the
'goold"" We doubt if Patrick found
any '"goold" "lying around loose" in
New York. Here, as in Europe, there
is no royal road to wealth The stout
heart and the willing arm are the only
passports to success, and he who pos
sesses these need not fear for the future !;
there is room enough in this great coun-
try for all. To those intending to
change their sphere of action we give a
few hints, which, if observed, will be of
service 10 them and promote their sue
cess. We have seen hundreds Of young
men with but little money in their pock-
cts who have touched the bottom in a
week or so. Every one should have at
least enough to keep himself for two or
three months, so as to prosecute the
search for employment aud not feel the
desperation and dependency incident
TO an empty pocket, and the consequent
empty stomach. He should also be pro-
vided with letters of introduction, if pos
sible; and above all, with recommenda-
tion from his last employers. These
are of absolute necessity. Respectable
business houses object to take young
men without them, Many come with
out either, and are surprised to find
themselves pushed aside by others bet
ter provided in that line The Young
Mems Christian Association of New
York is here a worthy institution.
Many a young man owes his success in
life TO its influence. In nearly every
large town in the British Isles these as
sociations exist, and letters of introduc-
ton from them to the Association here
will insure for the possessor a hearty
welcome, and he will at once be put in
the right channel for obtaining employ
ment and good associations
In conclusion, we may say thatin this
country there is plenty ofroot-room for
healthy plants to grow in, and whoever
comes with honest purposes and indus
trious disposition and fair skill, has a
certainty of success, and that, too, with
out waiting many weary years.-Phren-

. Woman,S Heart.

There isia period in the early life of
every true woman when moral and in
tellectual growth seems, for the time, to
cease. The intellect having appropria-
ted aliment requisite to the growth Of
the uncrowned feminine nature, feels
the necessity of more intimate compan-
ionship with the masculine mind, to
start it on its second period of develop
ment. Here, at this point, some stand
for years, without making a step in ad-
vance, Others marry, and astonish, in
afew years, by their sweet temper, new
beauty, high accomplishments, and no
bic womanhood, those whose blindness
led them to suppose they were among
the iueurably heartless aud frivolousa5 q

There is no important change to report in
connection with local financial matters
The offerings of discount paper are very
moderate, the mercantile community using
an unusually small amount of borrowed cap
ital, and balances are just now almost en-
tirely influenced by the checking demsads
of depositOrs. The market is moderately
easy for currency, though the deposit line
was rarely ever lower than at present.
Eastern Exchange continues close and
firm, the demand exceeding the receipts
Rates are firm at par buying and RIO pre-
MUM selling. iiesl 80 go.
Financial matters in New York continue
dull and unimpOrtant. The gold market is
reported quite free from speculative infu-
enee, but is firm under the late foreign ad-
vices and the probability Of a further adj
vance IN the discount rate Of the Bank of
England, which could not faiEto prove IN
favorable to American securities, and might.
lead tothe return of q considerable amount
to this country. Should the statement Of
the English papers that an advance to Is or
even 20 per cent. was possible. be confirmed,
the effect on exchanges would BIS decided,
and the result a material advance on gold
and a smart depression on governments
but it is not safe to anticipate such an event.
Governments are doubtless somewhat infu-
0need by these circumstances, and are dull
and rather weak. E

"FRoH WATERLOO TO RrcHMoSp."-such 10
the subject Of q lecture which Mr.. George
Alfred Townsend, the famous war cores
pendent, will deliver next Thursday eYen-
ing, February LIST, before tie Library Asso-
citation of this city. The remembrance Of
his very pleasant lecture On "The Recrea-
tons of Our Special Correspondent" is
fresh in all our minds, and it prepared the
lecture loving community for a still truer
appreciation Of any production which this
gifted young man may have to offer.
Itshould be understood thatthis is notone
of the regular lectures of the course, but an
extra one. Nine of the twelve men on the
list have already made their appearance,
leaving Ralph Waldo Emerson, James E.
Murdoch and B. F. Taylor to be heard from.
This lecture of Mr.. Townsend's is given as
g~ratuity 10 the htlders of course tickets, and
is intended as an expression of the graft
tude felt by the Association for the liberal
patronage of the public.
The present course has been more profit
able to the, Association and public alike
than any preceding one, and this high de-
gree of prosperity is the result of able man
agement. Seven hundred dollars have al
ready been devoted to the purchase of new
books, and twice hat sum has enriched the
Golfers of the Association.
But to return: We are glad that Mr..
Townsend is to appear here again as a lee
turer; and we are particularly eager to
hear the lecture pronounced. Who can
speak to such a subject better than he who
fred the country with his letters from the
seat of war
In this connection we are reminded of
the announcement that Mr.. Townsend's
book, "The Campaigns of a Non-Combat-
ant" is now in press. We clip the follow
ing brief account Of it from a literary jour
nal:
The youngest of the wal correspondents
is the only one with the real martial in
spiration. He makes blood eloquent, and
is as careful of the tender episodes of bat
tie, as Of the grand sweep and hurry of
batallions. In this book, we, who never
saw a fight, feel the musket at our shoulders
and hear the scream Of bullets. 1t is q
dangerous book to read. It gives you the
sense of bodily fear by its very earnestness.
But not all the vigor and daring of the mar
rative impress us as does the keen, sugges-
tive philosophy underlying it, by which we
become, so to speak, soldiers and pupils to-
gether, learning the laws of physical strug-
gle, while we feel the sweat of powder
upon US.

INcusATIxe.-The people of sandusky are
sitting on an egg in the hope thereby to
warm into life and eventually hatch a
steamer for the Island trade. 1t shall cost
not less than $50, 900, and ply between the
Islands and Sandusky. The steamer Island
Queen is inadequate to the present, to say
nothing of the immediate future, demand of
the trade. The Sanduskisns have no doubt
that a line of boats will be put in commits
sion to run between C~leYsland and other
points, touching daily at the various islands,
and unless there are other means than they
now have, for the accommodation Of the
island trade, such line of vessels will sus-
coed in carrying off a large amount of bust
ness that would naturally go that city, if
the proper and necessary means of transit
were at hand.

B~UReLAR-PRoJF sAFE-We learn from
the Detroit papers that the Detroit Safe
Company are now engaged in building for
the Second National Bank of Ravenna,
Portage county, a large burglar-proof safe
with folding doors, which will weigh SOM
5000 pounds. The doors are composed of
seven alternate layers of inch iron snd4
inch steel, and shut into the jams in esteps,"
SO that it will be impossible to drive wedges
for the purpose of bursting it open, or to
pour powder into the creyice to blow off the
door. The safe has q partition of / inch
iron, dividing it into equal parts perpen-
dicularlyJ thus forming in effect two sep
arats safes in one. The left hand door clos
ing first is secured by a patent combination
lock, and may be used for surplus funds,
bonds, special deposits, &c, and may remain
locked up, while the right hand side is used
for the daily business. The right door folds
over the left in {" steps," similar to those at
the top and bottom. The lock used is GO
vsrt's Combination" which has 5000, goo
combinations, and is without key or key

United STATES STEAMER MIcHIGAE.-The
Buffalo Courier states that the United States
steamer Michigan arrived at that port, from
a summers cruise into the upper lakes, the
beginning of September. About the middle
of that month, by the direction of the Sec
rotary of the Navy, she was put into the
hands of the Messrs. Mason d Bidwell, for
repairs. This ship had been upwards of
twenty years in constant service, and al
though the hull was of iron, her decks and
woodwork throughout had become SO badly
decsyed that she was unseaworthy. She
has been reftted throughout with new
spars, new decks, and houses, and water
ways. She is now as good as she was the
day she was launched. The new work is
specially solid and substantial, though ex-
tremely modestsnd plain. Messrs. Mason 4
Bidwell have done themselves credit in this
work, and it is believed that there is not a
private ship in the country which could
have been repaired as economically as this
for the Government, We understand that
she is now about complete, and will be
ready for 8 twenty years cruise next Spring.
During the time that these repairs have been
going on, the routine Of duty has been
systematically carried on by officers and
men. Although great inconvenience has
been incurred by her crew, their presence
has facilitated the work. Hitherto, in our
extreme cold winters, she has not been ten
able, as her hull is of iron. Steam has now
been introduced, and every apartment, from
the berth-deck to the cabin, is fitted with
steam coils, and she is comfortable without
the dangerous use of stoves. The cost of the
repairs has been about $4,000.
We are glad to chronicle these improve
ments in the Michigan, as she is the only
representative Of the Navy on the Great
Lakes. She will now be a thorough ship
of-war, and not as heretofore charged an
"old Hulk" good for slowing away worth

A dainty primer, this. "To obtain a pho
tograph, one of the party must keep the
book and ask questions in order; the person
asked, being at liberty to choose m num-
Der from one to twenty" Such is the re-
eips. Ten questions are asked, and Shakes
psars yields twenty answers to each. The
young sprigs will buy this of course, and
then, the still more sentimental girls and
young ladies will each invest half dollar
in the book, in order to sea what replies are
given to such questions as these, which the
sprigs aforesaid will be sure to put "What
Style of Beauty do you admire3' "Deseribe

First Meeting ?" " What was, or will be,
your First Greeting?"
