SOMETHING FOR SKATERS. A contempo-
rary says: .....
We have word of advice to young ladies
who may go on skating trip. Don't go
with cotton hose and cloth boots, but put
on wooden hose and high and heavy leather
boots, well LACED up to support your ankles
and to keep your feet warm; for no Others
are fit for use with pair of skates. Go
warmly clad, and carry an extra shawl or
cloak, and when you cease skating for few
moments, put the extra garment on, and lay
it aside when you again commence skating.
In this way you will avoid taking cold and
war off chills, fever, coughs and other evils
arising from over exertion and standing ex-
posed to the chilling blasts which sweep
across our ponds during the winter months
The next important thing to be attended
to, is to get pair of good fitting skates
that can be securely fastened to the foot
without producing pain or stopping the cir
culation of blood, and all this can be secured
by little attention at the beginning. Aftei
skating short time, loosen the straps Of the
skate; and in case sensation of numbnesl
is felt, although you may not have been upor
the skates but ten minutes, loosen the straps
Immediately and allow the blood to circulate
freely in the foot. or great injury may arise
perhaps the freezing of the feet Great car,
should be exercised in this respect by new
beginners. We throw out these brief hint:
for the benefit of those who have not beer
accustomed to the beautiful and invigora
ting exercise of skating.
Skating will prove q beautiful and plea
SAINT exercise, provided the above simple
rules arc Observation-Disclosures train OF evilI
may follow which may result in lasting in
iury A word to the wise is sufficient.

Go with us to the public houses, where a
number of young men are assembled. All is
life ana gaiety. A few among .hem may be
young and timid. They approach the coun-
ter, and wine, rum, brandy are called for
One or two may stand back, and say, no,
gentlemen, we do not drink; please excuse
US. Immediately the rest turn and begin to
taunt their friends who refuse to drink, say
ing they are afraid of getting ''tight," of the
"old man, and some whisper audibly, "Wel!,
l'they are mean fellows they are afraid they
will have to spend cent !" Here you sec
two very sensitive nerves are touched
Courage and Cleyerness Their bosoms
swell with pride; rather than bear these
filings of their companions, they step up to
the counter and join in the revelry. The ice
is now broken, the first great act of the
drama performed Others follow in natural
order, until the individual who refused to
drink at first, reels along the public street
without shame.
Such is the manner in which thousands OF
our promising young men are led away by a
false ambition; and thousands more will
follow in their path unless they learn the
meaning of courage. .
We have in our mind number of noble
( hearted, good, meaning men, who do not
! possess strength enough to face opposition.
| Rather than be called mean they will follow
up these habits of drinking until their appe-
| tites become uncomfortable.
J We advise you, young men, when you are
! in company, and solicited to drink intoXicat
/ ing liquors, to say frankly and decidedly
/ that you do not indulge in such things, and
| you command their respect, and they will
/ be forced to admit that your courage is suf
/ fcient to bear all their taunts and not yield
| the right Those who stem the tide always
meet opposition; but never despair-pres;
onward. Our only hope of rescuing the race
from this brutal, slayish passion rests with
the young. Will you, young friends, have
courage, true, high and God-like courage, tc
face this growing evil and Danish it from
! our land. .H

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

Congress has before it many import
ant measures of vast interest to the
people of this great commonwealth
and none more important than the inr-
parchment of Andrew Johnson. The
majority of the House Judiciary Com
mittee, after careful examination OF
facts, have brought in a report charg-
ing that the President is guilty of high
crimes and noisden,canors. It is now
before the House for their action. The
committee signing the report are gen.
tlemen of ability, and we'll known as
men of firm integrity. They have CIV
en- the subject the Importance that it
demands and have verified by their re-
port the deliberate opinion of every
loyal thinking man in this country
that Andrew johnson has disgraced
the highest Office i'm the gift of the
American people, aud has by this trait
orous schemes and bad heart impeded
the reconstruction of the Southern
States. All well know, yet it will meet
stout resistance from many in Con.
gress who are aware Of the business and
Importance of the movement, but who
hesitate i'm an undertaking of such gravi-
~ at this time. While we applaud the
nerve and determination of the com.
mittee and the large number of mem
beers who will favor tile impeachment,
we are not disposed to censure those
who oppose it. Questions of such inn
portance demand the most deliberate
thought We have lived through near
ly three years of Andrew Johnson's adj
ministratio7f, and have but year and
a few months more to bear the humih-
alton and disgrace; cannot the country
far better bear the disgrace of an apos.
tate Executive few months longer,
rather than attempt what might prove
an uncertainty. i put into execution
now, it would he made a party issue,
and would thrust upon the shoulders
of the Republican party another side
issue to be borne through canvass Of
greater Importance than that Of the
past year. Our experience this fall
should teach Republicans the folly oil
attempting to- carry too much. An.
drew Johnson i'm the Executive chair
would aid tile Republican party In the
next campaign in electing a true and
loyal patriot ashis successor. Greatly
would we rejoice could we see Andrew
Johnson impeached, without involving
too great struggle or without the risk
of making him martyr to the cause,
Let the political vagrant rest where BE
is, so long as he does no worse, and
when his term expires, let him pass
away into insignificance, unhonored
and unsung, carrying with him the
loathing contempt of the loyal people
of the whole country.

Sensation.

This is. emphatically, an age Of sem
sation. The public demand is for
something startling-somethin mirac-
ulous. 1t has been said with truth, we
fear, that the popular demand for the
sensational, has driven the genuine
and legitimate from the market, and is
fast supplying the place with the spuri-
Gus and illegiLinaate. Like "Micawber, /"
we are constantly looking for some
thing new to turn up. Thousands of
people will go miles to witness two
men pound each other like inhuman
brutcs, and columns of the daily pa
pers are devoted to an account of the
inhuman proceeding to satisfy the anx-
ious readers, who are hungering for
something sensational. a-s.
The walk of Weston from Portland
to Chicago, has created a sensation Sec
ond only, perhaps to the great march
of Sherman's army to the sea. The
very air has been ringing with the
name of Weston for the past month
The people of every city, town and vii
liage through which he has passed,
have caught the walking mania, and
the development of the intellect has
given way to the training of legs. The
exercise ofboth is essential to the prop
er discharge of lifes duties, and we are
not disposed to say how far they sho'd
be carried, though sensation should not
cause the development of the one to
the neglect of the other. The same Is
true in literature. Light frivolous
reading finds ready market, while
history, biography, and works on sci
enee are thrown aside and neglected.
A book just from the press, containing
species OF adultery, or the hair breadth
escapes of some love sick swain, is ca.
gerly sought for and becomes at once a
popular work. Authors are writing to
supply the popular want. Papers are
thrown aside as uninteresting, unless
they contain something startling,
whether true or not. People will run
after humbugs, and If not humbugged
they are not satisfied. E..
we are afIang, says writer, into
sensations in religion, in morals, in lit
erature and art; and the more sensa-
tional the religionist, the moralist, the
aSthor or the artist, the sooner lie be-
comes lion and the more greenbacks
he puts in his pocket" This is true to
an extent, yet we are disposed to admit
all is true. We are hopeful that the
tendency of the age in this respect, Is
for the better. We are overcoming the
great desire for startling sensation
which the late war produced, and the
time is coming, though slowly, when
the people will become snrfeited with
the fooleries now in vogue, and when
returning reason will teach them to
look for the solid rather than the SEN
sational.
