What Every Young Man Should Do.

i. Every young man should make tn,
most of himself, intellectually, morally, SO
clally and physically.
2. He should depend upon his own efforts
to accomplish these results.
3. He should he willing to take advice
from those competent to give it, and to fol-
low such advice, until his own Judgment OF
convictions, properly founded, should other
wise direct.
4. 1t he is unfortunate enough to have q
rich and indulgent father, he must do the
best he can under the circumstances, which
Will be to conduct himself very much as
though he had not these obstacles to over
come.
5. He should rememember that young
men, it they live, grow old; and that the
habits of youth are oftener than otherwise
perpetuated in mature man. Knowing this
fact, he should govern himself accordingly.
g.. He should never be discouraged by
small beginnings, but remember that near
ly all great results have been wrought out
from apparently slight causes.
7. He should never, under any circum-
Stances be idle. If he cannot find the en-
ployment he prefers, let him come as near
his desire as possible-he will thus reach
the object of his ambition
s. All young men have 'inalienakle
rights, among which none is greater or
more sacred than the privilege to be
'someb ,dy"

Two Sundays Every Week.

The United States of America always was
''the greatest nation in creation. as every
body who has listened to Fourth of July
oration well knows. But since our annexa-
tion of the Russian possessions, we We taken
one step ahead. Other, and less happy,
great and powerful nations have their pecu-
liar points of which to boast England brags
that the sun never sets on her flag France
that her eagles have flown in every capital
of Europe. But the United States can now
boast of the most wonderful fact of ala
fact that no other nation can ever approach,
and may not hope to rival. We have now
in this happy Republic, two Sundays every
week, as now may be seen by the follow
ing extract from Mr. Summers pamphlet OF
our new Russian purchase: ''As the settle
ment of this coast came eastward from Rus
sia, bringing with the Russia flag western
time, the day is earlier by twenty-fours with
them than with us, so that their Sunday Is
our Saturday, and the other days of the
week are in corresponding discord This
must be rectified according to the national
meridian, SO that there shall be the same
Sunday for all, and the other days of the
week shall be in corresponding harmony.

jeff. Davis and the Vermont People.

JEFF. Davis visited Stanstead last week,
and was the guest of Hon. L. Terrill
Fred: Terrill, Esq, brought him from
Sherbrook, in a very quiet manner, profess
edly to see the country and to consult in
regard to an investment ia the gold mines
at Hatley. On Thursday, as we learn from
the Newport (Yt.) Eapress, Mr. TerriIl,
in his best turnout, took Davis about the
village to ride, when several incidents trans
pired not altogether pleasing to either the
host or the guest. Not only boys but men
hooted at him in the street. and greeted
hin with those familiar words, well hang
jeff Davis to a sour apple tree" He was
frequently asked where he had left his
''petticoats, and various little remarks
more suggestive than pleasing, everywhere
fell upon his ear. One lady, ostung by the
rccoifcCCfou anu ucaJn OF near reiaofso aU
Andersonville, gave utterance to her feel
ings by hurting stone at him. Permis-
sion was asked that JEFF might ride about
the grounds of Carlos Pierce. Esq, and
take look at his noted herds, but the re
quest was emphatically denied by Mr.. II.
Pierce. in charge of the premises, who de
clared in unmistakable language, that IN
no event would jeff Davis be admitted to
those grounds"

POPULARITY OF SCOTTISH IDIoM. There
is well known case of mystifeatioL, caused
to English ears by the use of Scottish terms,
which took place in the house of Peers dur
ing the examination of the magistrates of
Edinburg, touching the particlars of the
Porteous Mob in 1886 The Duke of New
castle having asked the Provost with what
kind of shot the town-guard, commanded by
Porteous, had loaded their muskets, received
the unexpected reply: ''Ou, juist sic as ane
shuts duks and siclike fools WI This was con-
sidered as acentempt Of the House of Lords,
and the poor Provost would have suffered
from misconception of his patois, had not the
Duke OF. Argyle lwho must have been ex-
ceedingly amused, explained that the wor-
thy chief magistrate expression, when rem
dered into English, meant to describe the
shot used for ducks and aodter .fo,ol The
circumstance is referred to by Sir Walter
Scott, in the notes of the Heart of elid-Lo-
THAN.

When a counterfeit is presented at the
Bank of England, the gold is instantly paid
for it. If it comes from some known per
son he is only asked where he got It, Ii
from stranger, the cashier signals to his
detective, always in waiting, and the officer
follows secretly. Before many hours the
band is in possession of the stranger biog-
raphy. The offender once arrested, is like
ly to be tried, convicted, and sentenced,
within two days; wherefore Great Britain
is not an inviting field for that branch OF IN
dustry.

We Do FADE ASA LEAF.-As the trials
of life thicken and the dreams of other days
fade, one by one, in the deep vista of disap-
pointed hope, the heart grows weary of the
struggle and We begin to realize our insig-
nifcance. Those who have climbed to the
pinnacle of fame, or revel in luxury and
wealth, go to the grave at last with the poor
mend;cant who begs pennies by the wayside
and like him are soon forgotten. Genera
tion after generation, says an eloquent mod
ern writer, have felt as we feel, and their
fellows were as active in life as ours are
now. They passed away as vapor, while
nature wore the same aspect of beauty as
when her Creator commanded her to be.
And SO likewise shall it be when we are
gone. The heavens will be as bright over
cur graves as they are now around our
path; the world will have the attraction for
offspring yet unborn that she had once for
ourselves, and that she has now for our
children. Yet little while, and all this
will have happened! Days will continue to
move on, and laughter and song will be
heard in the very chamber in which we
died and the eye that mourned for us will
be dried and will glisten with joy !: and even
our children will cease to think of US, and
Will not remember to lisp our name.

LOST SHEEP.

How many sheep are straying,
Lost from the Saviours tOldi
Upon the lonely mountains
They shiver with the cold;
Within the tangled thickets,
Where poison vines do creep,
And over rocky ledges
Wander the poor lost sheep.
Oh, who will go to find them
Who, for the Sayiours sake,
viii search with tireless patience
Through briar and through brake?
Unheeding thirst and hunger,
Who still from day to day,
Will seek rs for a treasure
The sheep that go astray?
Say, will you seek to find them?
From pleasant bowers of ease,
Will you go forth determined
To find the "least of these ?"
For still the Saviour calls them,
And looks across the world; ass
And still he holds wide open
The door unto his fold.
How sweet 'twould be at evening,
If you and / could say,
hGood Shepherd, we've been seeking
!. The sheep that went astray
Heart sore and faint with hunger,
We heard them making moan
And 10. we come at night-fali,
Bearing them safely home"

Jeremiah Ayres, of the 1st Delaware regi-
ment, who was prisoner at Andersonville,
has been suffering from indisposition for
nearly year, and was seized with vomiting
few days ago, when he threw up ball as
large as robins egg, and on breaking it,
found it to consist of corn hulls, which
must have collected while he was in the
rebel prison pen. He was much relieved
after the expulsion of this substance, and
his health is now improving.

fear upon the salivary glands. If wrong
is committed the suspected persons are got
together, and each is required to keep a
quantity of rice in his mouth for a certain

the greatest certainty, the man who hao
done the deeds puts it out almost dry, IN

A Literary Curiosity.

| Two terribly tired travellers toiled through
tangled thickets, thickly thorned, toward the
Iailturn turnpike telling touching tales the
oretically told, to those that thought them
selves thoroughly theoretical tacticians.
therefore, the throng that threw themselves
tnlckenlng thitherward thought them Thes-
plans. Thraso like they thundered thrason-
leally their thriftless threnodies. Thirsty
they ,tlppled together. Their tractability
told them tolerably tolerant. Their tortu-
osity, too, transfgured the Talitans timor-
ously. Their tiaras, that Tiffany toilfullv
trimmed till the topaz trembled therein,
took the throng. The tokay that they took
trying the tavern table, told terribly-tint-
ing. tlnglng, troubling their thoughts till
their tintinnabulary tones tortured the tired
townsmen;they theieupon thrashed the tipsy
tyronlan tyros through the town. They tit
tered thereat, therefore thereupon the tom
tits twittered souchlngly, transporting there
by the thonghtless throng to that transitory
tranquility that thoroughly transcends the
terrific trance. Two trashy trappers, tug
ging two terrible trydacticle tigers, took three
trlennial tulips to the theologic teachers
there, telling them that theorems >theoreti-
eally treated tended toward firing the too
thoughtful theoligans that, therefore, the
ology thetically tinctured thoroughly throt-
tied the thin thesis that theophany throws
theurgy to the thoughtless Their tedious
trifiing teased the teachers terribly, though
their theories taxed their theosity through
out, therefore the turnkey took the two to
the trap. The tailor trimmed them taste
fully, their testimony taken ntachigraphically,
taborer tabooed them, till their taciturnity
turned to the tallest talking. These trying
things turned their tantrums to thoughtful
tameness. The tigers thereupon took to the
.th,iekets, the trappers to the tollgate. Tar
Oily they rendered the tax; tartly throwing
the testy taxer the two tens, they tawdrily
took to their travels. The Thespians tar
rled-to tell the truth their tendencies ten
dering their tickets to tempt the town. The
tagrag thronged the taphouse talking theat-
rically. The tavern thronged, the town
tattlers told pathological tales, ten times ten

HOSPITALITY AMONG LIoNs.-"I have
been assured, says Chenier in his 'Present
State of Morocco, that Brebe who went
out to hunt the lion, having proceeded far
into forest, happened to meet with two
lion whelps that came to caress him. The
hunter stopped with the little animals, and,
waiting for the coming of the sire or the
dam, took out his breakfast and gave them
a part. The lioness arrived unperceived by
the huntsman, so that he had not time, or
perhaps wanted the courage, to take his
gun After having for some time looked at
the man who was thus feasting her young,
the lioness went away, and soon after return
ed, bearing sheep, which she laid at the
huntsman's feet. Thus become one of the
family, took this occasion of making a good
meal, skinned the sheep, made fire and
roasted a part, giving the entrails to the
young. The lion came also, and as if re-
specting the rights of hospitality, showed
no tokens of ferocity Their guest, the
next day, having finished his provisions, re-
turned, and came to the resolution never
more to kill those animals, the noble gene
fosity of which he had so fully proved He
caressed the whelps at taking leave of them
and the dam and sire accompanied him till
he was safely out of the forest y
