A Pithy Sermon to Young Men.

You arc tho architects of your
own fortunes. Rely upon your own
strength of body and soul. Take
for your motto, Self Reliance, Hon
osty, and Industry. For your star,
Faith, Perseverance, and Pluck,
and inscribe on your banner, "Bc
Just and fear not" Don't take too
much advice; keep at the holm, and
steer your own ship. Think well
of yourselves. Strike out. Fire
above the mark you intend to hit
Assume your position. Do not
practice excessive humility; you
can't get above your level. Water
don't run up hill; put potatoes in .
cart over a rough road, and small
potatoes will go to tho BOTTOM
Energy, Invinciblc Determination
with right motive, are the levers
that move the world. The great
art of commanding is to take fail
share of the work. Civility costs
nothing and buys everything.
Don't drink. Don't smoke. DOM
chew. Don't swear. Don't gam
bic. Don't lie. Don't steal. Dom
deceive. Don't tattlo. Be polite
Be generous. Be kind. Study
hard. Be in earnest. Be self-re
liant, Read good books. Love
your fellow-man as well as God.--
Love your country, and obey thu
laws. Love truth. Love virtue
Always do what your conscience
tolls you to be a duty, and leav'
the consequence with God.-H. q
EASTMAN.

WSolomon P. Kohnstamm has
been pardoncd by the President
If we deemed him a good citizen
who had been temporarily infatu-
ated, and so misled into crime, we
should commend this pardon. AS
it is, We cannot. His frauds were
vast, reiterated, persistent. They
depleted the Treasury at dark
period of our great struggle, when
even peculation was virtual treas
on, and should have been punished
as such. This man is certainly q
villain, probably a traitor also, and
should be dealt with accordingly
AS in pardoning several scores O
countcrfeiters OF the National Cur
rency, tho President has in this in
stance made a lamentable mistake

For a moment a look of blank
astonishmcnt came over the coun.
tenance Of the old Democrat, which
gave way TO one of anguish, as he
said:
"Good God have you left the
Democratic party?'
Mr.. IL. is still a strong Democrat
