Portland Regatta Association.

Mems sdna In corpus s1nO. 1t will be seen
by reference to our amusement column that
the Portland Regatta Association will give
grand Promenade Concert, at City Hall, On
Tuesday evening next. The Association is
composed Of the members of the various boat
clubs, and has for its object the promotion of
friendly feeling between the clubs, as well as
the forwarding ofthe healthful, invigorating and
manly exercise of rowing. Healthftll outdoor
sports have never in this country received that
share of attention bestowed upon them in Eng
land, although their necessity has long been
apparent in the education of our American
youth to that standard of physical perfection
SO essential to the growth and welfare of ma
ton such as ours. Our modern instructors of
the young men Of the present day, however,
have, at length, perceived their utility, and the
annual trials Of strength and skill at the oar
and in the ball-6eld, which now occur between
Harvard and Yale colleges, are doing much to
increase the interest in and promothe the well
fare of outdoor sports. The Portland Regatta
Association, therefore, in their efforts to for
ward and elevate this object, should receive
the eountenance and assistance of every citi-
zen having the interests of his country at heart

The Aldntic Monthly for March is one of
remarkable excellence. The articles-romance,
politics. criticism-are all given by master
scribes. The leading feature of this magazine
is, that no article gives the name of it's author,

merits instead of the writer reputation. Ad-

Our Young Folks, by the same publishers,
is the leading periodical for young folks in this

do IL Well.

Whatever you do, do it we'll A job slight

to habltual neglect, so that men degenerate, in
senslbly, into bad wOrkmen.
That is a good rough job" said foreman
in our hearing recently, and he meant that it
was piece of work, not elegant in itself, but
strongly made and well put together.
Training the hand and eye to do work well,
leads individuals to form correct habits in 9TH
er respects, and good workman is, in most ca.
ses, a good citizen No one need hope to rise
above his present situation who suffers small
things to pass by unimproved, or who neglects
metaphorically speakingI to pick up cent be-
cause it is not dollar.
Some of the wisest law makers, the bes'
statesmen, the most gifted artists, the mos
mercful judges, the most ingenious mechanics
rose from the great mass -.
A rival of certain lawyer sought to humili
ate him publicly by saying: You blacked m!
fathers boots once" Yes" replied the law
yer, unabashed, land did it WE'LL " And be
cause of his habit of doing even mean thing
well, he rose to greater.
Take heart, all who toll all youths in hum

those who labor unappreciated. If it be bu
to drive the plOw, strive to do it well; II 1t b
but to wax thread, wax it well; if only to Gu
