Miscellaneous.


The vicious die early. They fall
like shadows, or tumble wrecks and
ruins into the grave-often while quite
young, almost always before forty
''The wicked liveth not half his days"
The wUrld at once ratifes the truth and
assigns the reason, by describing the
dissolute life of "fast young men :"
that is, they live fast ; they spend their
twelve hours in six, getting through
the whole before the meridian, and
dropping into the darkness while 9TH
ers are in the glory of light. "Their
sun gOeth down while it is day." And
they might have helped it. Many a
one dies before he need. Young men
of genius, like Burns and Byron, to
whom, when dissipated and profigate,
thirty-seven is so fatal, and your OBJ
scure and nameless wandering stars,
who waste their time in lihertine in
dulgence-they can not live, they
must die early. They put on steam
till they blow up the boiler. They
run at such a rate that the fire goes out
for want of fuel. The machinery is
destroyed by rapid speed and reckless
wear. Nothing can save them. Their
physical system can not stand the
strain they put it to, while the state OF
their minds is often such that the soul
would eat the substance of the most
robust body, and make for itself way
of escape from the incessant hell of its
own thoughts.

ThRLast HOur.

But let me think somewhat of the
future. There viii come to me anOth-
er hour, which, like the present, will
be the last-but it will be the last Of
all my earthly years. The clock will
sound it from the church tower, when
my falling ear can no longer hear it,
and those only who are watching be-
side me count its strokes, then my last
minutes will begin, one by one, to de-
part. AS they go, this heart which
now beats strongly within me, will
grow more feeble, until the last pulsa-
ton is given, and an is at rest. How
happy then to feel, that as the old life
is passing away, new, better, nObler-
life is opening. Just rs now it is pleas
ant to think that when this hour is
gone, and the whole Of the year of
1867 is sealed up in the past, there is.
a new year present with all its OppCr-
tunities for good, all its hours of COM
munion with Christ, and days to be
given to the service of God, so after,
death there will be q new scene, an
immortal existence, through which my
soul may move in endless, incOnceiva-
bic joy, serving God and enjoying him
forever more.
Savior, in the shadows of the last
hour, when my mortal life is ebbing
away, give me thy presence, and when
its end has come, usher my soul, clad
in thy righteousness, and cleansed by
thy Spirit, into the blessed landwhere
years, and days, and hours, shall be all
forgotten, and nothing known or felt
but the fullness Of the pleasure Of
eternity.

EARLY RIsING.-Dr. Hall says in
the Journal of Health: One of the
very worst economies of time is that
filched from necessary sleep. The
wholesale but blind cOmmendation of
early rising is as mischievous in prac-
tice as it is arrant folly in theory
Early rising is a crime against the
hOblest part of our physical nature,
unless it is preceded by early retiring.
We caution parents particularly not to
allow their children to be walked up in
the mornings; let nature wake them
up; she will not do it prematurely; but
have a care that they go to bed at an
early hour; let it be earlier and earlier,
until it is found that they wake up of
themselves in full time to dress for
breakfast. Being walked up early, and
ALLOWED to engage in difficult or any
studies late and just before retiring,
has given many a beautiful and prom
ising child brain fever, or determined
ordinary ailments to the production of
water On the brain.

Printers.

Printers are unlike other classes Of
men. Their vocation imparts to them
an intelligence that does not result
from any other business. Dealing with
language exclusively, in its combina-
ton Of letters, words, sentences, and
paragraphs, they are constantly
brought into communion with
thoughts and their working, and thus
insensibly become imbued with the
ideas Of those minds whose creations
they help to embody into those forms
that give them to the world. They
literally ge5 grammar at their finger
ends, while picking up the types that
form sentences. that are grammatical.
Spelling comes to them as natural as
breathing for they fall into correct
OrthOgraPhy from force of habit.
The characteristics of printers are
not so favorable to personal thrift as
those of other professions. They par
take Of the nature Of artists in some
degree, and are generally liberal to a
fault, thOughtless of the future and

ent-'Aush' when in a good situation,
and "dead broke" on tramp. They
may be said to be the working Bohem-
ians Of the world Of operatives.
PRINTERS DEVILS"
From wild, friendless boys in the
streets are made what is called ''Print-
ers' Devils ;" next they become print
ers, and after that sometimes editors,
in which capacity they not unfrequent-
ly make their mark in the nation and
in the world. DR.. Franklin was a
most eminent instance in the early
days of our country. And Thurlow
Weed, Horace Greeley, Simon Came
ron, Vice-President Hamlin, General
Dix, Speaker Colfax, Gideon WeIles,
Robert Bonner, Prince Napoleon, Pc
troleCm Vesuvius Nasby and Artemus
Ward, are striking examples at the
present time.

The Soldiers Asylum.
The following circular has been issue

The following circular has been issued:
The Board of Managers of the National
Asylum for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers
give notice that they are now prepared to
receive beneficiaries into either branches
near Augusta, Maine; Milwaukee, Wis
cOnsin; or at the Central Asylum, near
Columbus, Ohio. Volunteer soldiers are
admitted upon application by letter to
either of the managers, whereupon blank
application will be sent to the applicant
and, if duly qualified, transportation will
be furnished him. The requirements are /:
First, Any honorable discharge from the
volunteer service. Second. Disability by
wounds received or sickness contracted in
the line of duty. If the applicant is una
bic to travel, or for further sufficient cause,
relief will be furnished under the direc-
ton Of the manager to whom application
is made. The overseers of all almshouses
and charity hospitals having disabled SOL
diers subsisting upon private beneficences
are respectfully urged to report such cases
to either of the managers, as it is not fit
that meritOriOus disabled soldiers of the
nation should be supported by private or
public charity.
Soldiers are especially informed that the
asylUms are neither hospitals nor aims
houses, but homes, where subsistence, care,
education, religious instruction, and en-
plOyment are provided for disabled sol
diers by the Congress of the United States,
to be paid from the fOrfeitures and fines of
deserters from the army. The provision is
not charity. 1t is a contribution by the
bOunty-jumpers and bad soldiers to the
brave and deserving, and is their right
Soldiers having a wife, child or parent de-
rnnHnnE Of -oI 70,
give up their pensions upon coming to the
asylum. Other soldiers are required to as
sign their pensions to the asylum In special
cases only, to be determined by the Board.
Suitable compensation will be given for
profitable labor in the asylum. Good be-
havior will insure the kindesJ treatment.
Wives and children will not be cared for
at the asylum, until after the soldier has
shown by his ability to aid himself and
them in part, by his labor and steadiness,
that taking his family in charge will not
increase his expenses to the asylum above
the cost of other helpless beneticiaries, in
which case provisions will hereafter be
made. BENZ. F. BUTLER, D

GrasshOppers are at the present mo-
ment the terror of Missouri, Colorado
and Kansas. They have, of course,
not yet made their appearance, but
they were in swarms last fall, and it
is feared they will return. A neWspa-
per writer says: "The grasshOppers
made their appearance on the 18th and
18th Of September, 1850, coming in
immense swarms, and covering the
earth, stripping and devouring every
green thing, depOsiting their eggs in
the ground by the bushel. The next
spring, about the 18th of May, they
hatcbed out by billions, and the earth
was again alive with them. Thcy y
commenced their work, destroying cot
ton, flax, wheat, hemp, and tobacco,
but let the corn crop alone. As soon
as their wings were grown they depart
ed, about the 18th Of June"

A DANGEROUS PRACTICE.-The fol-
lowing should be published at least
once a week:
'NIany persons who use kerosene or
coal oil lamps, are in the habit, when
going to bed or leaving the room for
a time, of turning the wick down low,
in order to save a trifie of the cOnsump-
tion of oil. The consequence is that
the air of the room soon becomes vitiat-
ed by the unconsumed oil, vapors of
the gas produced by the combustion,
and also by the minute particles of
smoke and SCOT which are thrown off
Air thus poisoned is deadly in its eff
fects, and the wonder is that more
persons are not Immediately and IA
tally injured by breathing it. Irrita-
ton and Inflammation of the throat and
lungs, headache, dizziness and nausea
are among its effects"

The recent assumption of imperial
hOnOrs by the King of Prussia fOrci-
bly, attracts attention to the rise and
progress of the house of Brandenburg,
one of the most remarkable in history.
A century and a half ago, the head Of
this now powerful house was one of
the petty Princes, or Electors, who
cast their votes in the choice Ofan En-
perOr for Germany. During the reign
of Frederick the Great, the principals
ty was considerably enlarged and
strengthened, and has since kept pace
with the prosperity of Prussia. To-
day, this pGTUe,ru house takes prece-
denCe of the ancient and naughty
Hapsburgs, who have so long looked
with contempt upon the pretensiOns of
a family they would not deign even to
acknowledge as rivals. The house of
Hapsburg steps down from the posi-
tiOn it has so long occupied, and
Brandenburg assumes the direction of
the destinies of Germany.

Our Friends after Death.

A father once related to his children
the following story:
The Governor of an Island was once
called to appear before his king to give
an account of his stewardship. Those
friends in whom he had most confdedy
parted with him at his h0Hse, others
went with him to the ship, while many
in whom he had placed but little trust,
and scarcely recognized as friends, much
to his surprise, escorted him on his jour-
ney, went with him to the kings
throne, there spoke for him, and Sc
cured him the favor Ofthe king.
$50 man, ," continued the father, "has
on earth three kinds Of friends, whom
he only learns to know Alright when he
is called to leave this world and render
his account to God. The first Of these
gold and lands-remain behind; the
.secOnd-friends and relatives-go only
to the verge of the grave; and the third
his good deeds-aCcOmpany him in
bis Journey to the better land, and are
with Christ his advocates before the
throne, and purchase for him favor and
pardon. How foolish is man to prize
so little here what will constitute his
wealth hereafterI'

MIC AZ of AdEertisfng.

On this subject the Louisville Jour
nal has the following: owe have been
carrying on the Louisville Journal be-
tween thirty-six and thirty-seven years.
During all this time we have known
no man of business in the city to fail
who advertised literally. And we have
known no one tosucceed in any cOnsid-
cradle if even in a respectable degree
who didn't advertise literally!
''DO you tell US, oh candidate for the
custom of the community, that you
can't afford to advertise because your
business is dull? All! why is it dull ?
Listen, and we will telly you. 1t is dull
because you don't advertise, and you
don't advertise because it is dull; so
the vacant circle is complete. We tell
you if you are doing ill to advertise,
that you may do well, and if you are
doing well advertise that you may dc
better. Set high your mark Of bust
ness success, and advertise up to it
You can do so, if you will, even in
hard times.
GA little nerve is needed in advertis,
ing as well as in using any other effec.
tive means of success. Your men who
have no more nerve than a wet rag ad,
vertise a little or not at all. You may
suppose that we are giving advice that
we think would benefit ourselves
Yes, we do think that it would benefit
us, but benefit you immensely more
Think a little and you will agree with
us. And if you do agree with US, be
wise enough to act accordingly"

A correspondent, after many an ar
ro1O escape from the Indians, has col

the different tribes
A litigiOus tribe-the Sioux. (SUeS.)
Boosting Characteristic Crows.
Half-civilized-the Semi-nOles.
Industrious classes-the Diggers.
Sharp felIows-the Cheyennes.
Good Pastry CoOks-the Pi-utes.
individuals of capacity-the Sacs.
Holding to their pledges-the Pawn

Sly fellows-the Foxes.
A sluggish race-the Creeks.

asaws.
A filthy tribe, offensive in warm
weather-the Black-feet.
Energetic men-the Kicl1-apOOs.
Men of letters-the Wy-an-dOttes.
A striking evidence of civilization is
the number of clubs that are found
among the Indians. Some of them
were in quite a destitute condition.
The Crows had eaten all their corn and
were unable to get even an Indian
meal. Our correspondent had little
brush with the Foxes and was nearly
hagged by the Sacs, besides being pep
pered by the Cheyennes. Many o.
them wear rich ornaments, and he has
had the war-whoop ring in his ear;
quite often.-[ Boston Commercial Bull

A SaIutary Thought.

When 1 was young man there liv-
'Rd in our neighborhoOd a farmer, who
Fas usually reported tC be a very lib
9fal man, and uncOmmOnly upright
in his dealings. When he had any
produce Of his farm to dispose of, he
made it an invariable rule to give good
measures-rather more than would be
required of him. One of his friends
observing him frequently doing so,
questioned him as to why he did it {;
ne told him he gave too much, and
said it would be to his disadvantage.
Now, dear reader, mark the answer Of
this excellent man:
"GOd has permitted me but one
journey through the world, and when
I am gone I cannot return to rectify
mistakes"
Think of this. There is but one
journey through life.
