impress upon them the fact that nothing good
can be acquired in this world without labor ;
and that the very necessaries and comforts of
life must be. procured by earnest and regular
exertion They should also be taught to
know. that, after having been reared and ed

pect them to provide further for them, and
that their future subsistence and advance
mont must depend upon themselves: Par
ents sometimes commit the mistake Of allow
ing their children, after having reached the
period Of life when they ought to be engaged
in making a livelihood, to rely upon them
for support. This encourages themin injuri-
GUS idleness, and destroys their spirit Of self
dependence, which is necessary for their
advancement in life, and causes them to APP

after having arrived at an age when they
should think and act for themselves.
The choice Of a profession is not Of 50
much consequence as the manner III which 1t
is pursued. IF habits Of self-control and
self-denial have been acquired during the
season Of education, the great object has been
accomplished. Diligence and integrity in

, NOBLE THoueHTs.--I never found pride
in noble nature, nor humility in an, un-
worthy mind. Of all trees, observe, that
God has chosen the vine, low plant that
creeps upon the helpful wall of all beasts,
the soft and patient lamb; Of all fowls, the
mild and guileless dove. When God ap-
peared to Moses, it was not in the lofty ce-
Oar, nor the spreading palm; but a bush
an humble, abject bush: AS if he would,
by these selections, check the conceited ar
lrogance of man. Nothing produceth love
ike humility nothing hate, like pride

advertisement Of a certain, shoe dealer a

BANKRUPT ACT OFFICIALS. Chief Justice
Chase is already overwhelmed by applications
for appointment as registers under the bank
rupt act. He will not appoint any one until
after the meeting of the Supreme Court in
April next. Where several counties are ena-
braeed in one congressional district, one reg
lister will probably be selected for each coun-
ty, and none will be appointed except lawyers
who stand at the head of their profession.
and all will be rigidly examined, as these
positions are regarded as of as much impor-
lance as that of United States district judge;
and the fees will be fixed by the Supreme
Court, so that the best attorneys can afford
to attend to it. Where there are any num-
