The cause Of Cholera is always found in de-

AEoTHER War CLOUD III TEE EAsr.-For
several months there have been emnous sign.
Of rupture between Austria and Prussia,
and our last advices from Europe indicate
that the danger has nov becone imminent.
The quarrel has reference to the control OF
the Dutchie,, which territory Austria assumes
to hold as o kind of dependency, and which
authority Prussia resolutely ignores. An
angry diplomatic controversy upon this sub
ject has beenin progress for long time +;
but it seems that Prussia has at last presented
its utimatum, demanding that Austria shall
forthwith surrender the Dutchies for n spec-
fled consideration. The war feeling has grown
so warm that both nations have been quietly
making hostile preparations, and it seems
quite, probable that the tribunal of arms will
be appealed to. In the regular order of things,
it is about time for another war in Europe.
The last was that pertaining to Schlesvig-
Holstein, o little more than year ago; but
that was small affair. The war that oc-
cured in 1859. between France and Austria,
was the last war Of great magnitude that has
occurred in Europe, and as seven years rarely
pass without war in some part Of Ea-ope,
on encounter between Prussia and Austria
would not be surprising York Sun.

Teach your son to werk-to work with
bis hands-to combine muscular power with
brain power, and he will seldom turn thief,
vagabond or yagrant. The great misfortune
with majority of our .yeung men ,.is, that
they have been taught no regular trade, or
employment. They now feel sadly the want
of this useful training. Impress boy with
the value Of time, teach him come honorable
calling, however humble, and if be has the
man in him it will develop itself in time.
lie will teach himself from observation and
association with the best class of persons,
who always recognize and appreciate true
merit-te be, and not merely appear to be q
gentleman.
The silly notion, so prevalen. heretofore in
this country, that physical labor is inconsis-
tent with good breeding, must give way to q
more practicable, q more sensible, and more
healthy sentiment. We will then have fewer
forgeries, fewer gamblers, fewer drunkards,
and consequently less demand for apace in
our State prisons. We will have more faeto.
ries, more schools, more and better filed
churches, and more thrifty, selfre!iant, in
tellgeut, hardy and entefsr;ling HHalation.
