A Word to Young Men.

One of the meanest things man can do,
and it is not Of uncomon occurrence, is to mo-
nopolize the time and attention of young girl
for year or more, without any definite object,
and to the exclusion of any other gentleman,
who supposing him to have matrimonial lntenn-
tions, absent themselves from her society. 1t
prevents the reception of eligible offers of mar
rriage, and fastens upon the young lady, when
the acquaintance is finally dissolved, the unen-
viable and unmerited appelation of flirt."
Let all your dealings with women, young men,
be frank, honest and noble. That many whose
education and position in like manner would
warrant our looking for better things, are cul-
pably criminal on these points, is no excuse for
short comings, That woman is often injured
or wronged through her hoiest feelings, adds
but blacker dye to your meanness, One rule
is always safe: Treat every woman you meet
as you would wish another man to treat your
innocent, confding sister.

A Good Word for Judas.


In the 4" Crown of Wild Olives John Rus
kin thus characterizes in his trenchant style,
those who live only to make money as imita-
tors Of Judas:
We do injustice to 1scariot in thinking him
wicke, aboveall common wickedness. de was
only a common money lover, and like all mo-
ney lovers, didn't understand Christ; couldn't
make out the worth Of Him. he didn't want
him to be killed. He was horrorstruck when
he found that Christ would be killed; threw
his money away instantly, and hanged himself
How many of our present money seekers, think
YOU, would have the grace to hang themselves,
whoever was killed? But Judas was COM
mon, selfish. muddleheaded, pilfering fellow !;
his hand was always in the bag of the poor,
not caring for them. He didn't understand
Christ. vet believed in Him, much more than
most of us do; had seen him do miracles, thot
he was quite strong enough to shift for him
self. and he, Judas, might as well make his lit
tie by perquisites out Of the affair. Christ
would come out of it well enough, and he have
the thirty pieces. Now, that is the money
seekers idea all over the world.

CHARLESTOWN, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 25 1866.
Old Things.

Give me old songs, those exquisite bursts Of
melody which thrilled the Tyres of the inspired
poets and minstrels of long ago. Every note
has borne on the air tale Of Joy and rapture,
Of sorrow and sadness. They tell Of days gone
by, and time has given them voice that speaks
to us of those who breathed those melodies !;
NAV they be mine to hear till life shall end !;
as al launch my boat upon the seas of eter-
nity. NAV their echoes be waited on my ear, TO
cheer me on my passage from earth to father
land Give me the old paths where we have
wandered and culed the flowers Of friendship
in the DAYS of " Auld Lang Syne." Sweeter
far the dells whose echoes have answered to our
voices whose turf is not stranger to our foot
steps. and whose rills have in childhood's days
reflected back our forms and those of our merry
playfelows from whom we have parted, and
meet no more in the old hooks we loved so well.
May the old paths be watered with heavens
own dew, and be green forever in mymemory
Give me the old house, upon whose stairs we
seem to hear light footsteps and under whose
porch a merry laugh seems to niingle with the
winds that whistle through the old elms, be-
meath whose branches lie the graves of those
who once trod the halls and made the cham
bers ring with glee. And o, above all; give
me the old friends, hearts bound to mine in
lies stiii:hinv hours, and link so strong that
all of earth might not break it asunder; spirits
congenial, whose hearts through life have been
in unison with their own. o! when death
shall still this heart, would not ask for aughr
more sacred to hallow my dust than the tear
of an old friend

Power of q Good Mans Life.

The beauty of holy life, says Chalmers, con-
stitutes the most eloquent and effective persua-
sve to religion, which one human being can ad-
dress to another. We have many ways of doing
good to our fellow creatures, but none so eff
cacious as leading a virtuous, upright, and
well-ordered life. There is an energy of moral
suasion in good mans life, passing the high
est efforts of the orators genious. The seen
but silent beauty of holiness speaks moro elo-
quently of God and duty than the tongues OF
men and angels. Let parents remember this.
The best inheritance parent can bequeathe to
a child is virtuous example, legacy of hal
lowed remembrances and associations. The
beauty Of holiness beaming through the life OF
a loved relative or friend, is more effectual to
strengthen such as do stand i'll virtues ways
and raise up those that are bowed down, than
precept, command, entreaty, or warning
Christianity ITSELF l believe, owes by far the
greater part of its moral power, not to the pre-
cepts or parallels of Christ, but to his own char
acter. The beauty of that holiness which is en-
shrined in the four brief biographies of the man
of NasaretAy-has done more, and will do more
to regenerate the world, and bring in an ever
lasting righteousness, than all the other agencies
put together. 1t has done more to spread his
religion in the world, than all that has ever been
written on the evidences Of Christianity.
