Yankee Inquisitiveness.
BY HOWARD PAUL.

Hill! poor Yankee Hill' He was the
very incarnation of drollery aud esprit,
We loved to see his smiling, gool-natured
phiz before the lights. for it was sure to
impregnate the very atmosphere with a
sense of merriment. Ho possessed ge-
MUS for the impersonation of down east
character, which no actor ever before nor
since his time has approached. He was
natural, captivating, easy and brilliant.
With what genial unction he related a
pleasantly! with how much sparkling
zest he ban.crea the follies of mankind
the witticisms flashed from his lips as
fakes of light along the orient. A gay,
glorious fellow was he, in every sense of
the expression.
His store of anecdotes seemed to be
inexhaus;iblc and be was one of those
few gifted creatures who could talk all
day, and still have something left we'll
worth listening to. One never wearicd
of hearing him Age did not tarnish,

"given rise" to pun, but ghnee at

him that the play on the word was gross,

Hill, who bcred to death by this time
with inquiries, placidly settled down in
the corner oc the coach and shut his
eyes. Vermont was not to be thrown
aside so easily, however; and contracting
his sharp features = every angle of which
seemed to ask a question-he stretched
his neck, and said:

he leaned over and said

Responsibility Of Young Men.

As every sand has its place n making
the mountains and every drop its own
p ace in making the ocean, and every
leaf its part in clothing the forest, and
every stalk of wheat its place in filling
the field with golden harvest that is to
be gathered into the barn--as every par.
tiele of space between our plane. and the
sun is an important link binding US to
the solar centre, and to perform an inns
portant function in the communications
carr led on between us and the other
members of the solar system, SO is every
man, and the particles of the influence
of every man, link in the vast chain of
human well-doing and well being. Socis
ETY. is the aggregation of individdalities.
1t is, in fact, an association organized by
the Creator for purposes of benevclencc.
Every human being is shareholder in
this association-not merely to receive
the dividends, or as sleeping partner
consume its fruits Jm 10 hep 10 pro.
duce them. Every human being is bound
up with every other human being, and
must fill his page in the vast volumn of
humanity This is true of all ages and
of all men; but especially true of young
men in our day. BY Providence they
are so placed as TO reccire and transmit
impressions just as we their predecessors
have done, and their successors viii do.
Nay, their opportunit es for excrting a
wide influence are, in most cases, greater
than were enjoyed by their fathers
Whatever then may be the character of
the young men of our age, whether good
or bad such will they impart to the COM
ing age. When We are removed from
living men, and the sapds of the noun
tain, or the clods of the valley, or the
tangled weeds o.. the sea, or oceans bril-.
liant shells may be our tomb, then they
will occupy our places on the worlds
busy stage Yes, when We who are now
busy in the strife of life, and struggling
with its burdens, have left these mertal
shores, these young men will be the liv-
ing inhabitants of the earth. Those
whom you arc now teaching will teach
others and mould their character. These
young men of business, of science, Of
learning, aud Of religion in the years to
come, AS the falling leaves of autumn
are replaced by the growth of next year,
or rather .as the leaves on evergreen trees
are ever falling and ever growing and the
tree always green; so in this vast and
ever multiplying population of our earth
we aie born, live and pass away, and an
other generation eometh. The infant IN
the cradle will soon mingle in the spoEi
OF boyhood and the growing child viii
soon pass into manhood, and with bis fel'
lows stamp the living world with its per-
manent characters.
