What Are Ten Going to kesd :

The long Winter nights ara coming.
Towns and cities are full of young
men whose education has been very
hmited-young men of good manners,
of fair business capacities, who are
seeking their fortune, but who have
not learned that intelligence and in
tegrity are the indispensable condi-
tons of influence, Of happiness, and
of ~successi
What plans have you, nay friends,
for this Winter2 Business will be
attended to, of course. Perhaps, in
addition, the prospect of several par
ties, q ball or two, the skating rink,
give a cheerful perspective. Or, you
may be of q sober turn, and you have
a Winter laid out in which your leis-
ure time is to be filed with meetings
and benevolent labors.
In either case, what do you propose
IN regard TO reading or study? Are
you educating yourselvesP Do you
regard books as necessaries of life or
as luxuries2
a young maR ought TO range a.
systematically for reading as he does
Tor eating. Every year there ought
to De the account OF books finished
and mastered.
Newspapers and magazines have
their own place, and indispensable
uses-but they are not substitutes for
books, And books themselves are
to be classified and wisely chosen.
Novels and light literature, taken
sparingly, furnish wholesome recrea-
ton and sound knowledge. But HIS
tory, travels, biography, works on sol
ence. criticism, art, mechanics, should
be the staple of your selection.
1t ought to offend the self-respect of
n young man to spend a whole year
without having mastered a single new
book. He may DO improving 10 bust
ness tact, and in that knowledge
which comes from mingling with mea;
no mag be growing in wealth and
skill to manage riches, bat these
things do not reach far enough. They
hood resides.
Now Is the time to consider, re-
solve, and arrange. 1t will require q
nrm purpose and steady hand, to car
~ you every week through an agreed
amount OF reading. But, if tho plaA

Books are shields to the voun1.
Temptations are hlanted on them
which otherwise would pierce to the
quick. A man who draws sufficient
pleasure from books, is independent
of the world for pleasure. Friends
may die. Books never are sick, and
they do not grow old. Riches melt
away. Books are in no danger of
bankruptcy. Our companions have
their own errands to execute and
sneir own burdens to bear, and can

All This is very captivating, and the

tainly on reading it the Democracy

We havo no disposition to mar this
picture of loneliness which the En-
QuireT has prepared for its readers,
but cannot forbear suggesting that
the first instance in the history oil
American politics is yet to occur in
which 0 military President deceived
his friends or his party. Heretofore
the party betrayals have invariably
been by men who we're really politi
clans. The great soldiers of the coun'
try. sucn as WASHINGTON, JACKSON
HARRISON and TAYLOR were all tru'
to their parties. We dare say Gen
GRANT will not prove the FIRST ex'
ception to this rule.

1T was expected tho close of the
election would bring with it diminu-
ton of the venom and falsehoods
which have characterized the Courier
| during the late campaign. But, on
| the morning after the election, when
it had no political capital to make,
and could have no object but detrac-
ton, it published q villainous article
upon Mr.. CoLFAx. charging him with
being a willful liar and q dishonest
man. Yesterday 1t followed up the
work of SANDER by charging tho
JOURNAL with attacking the Ken
lucky citizens Of Evansville, and
m~anifesting . disposition 20 drive
them out Of the cityl A more I'M
founded falsehood has not been pub
lished by that mendscious sheet DUR
ing the entire campaign. We have
denounced the system of importa-
ton and fraud by which the
| election Of October, in Wander
burgh County and throughout
Indiana, by which men from
Kentucky, under employment of the
Democratic State Central Committee
and local politicians, thwarted the
true expression of legal voters at the
ballot. Aud in this wa meet with the
endorsement of every honest citizen
of Evansville, regardless Of party OF
State attachment. We did also init
mate that the importation" from
Kentucky which has been conducting
the Courier might well interpret the
result of the overwhelming verdict oil
the people of Vanderburgh County,
last Tuesday, rs q gentle hint to
them to follow their brethren, who
left soon after the October election.
But it is q silly and baseless falsehood
to charge that the JOURNAL or any OF
its editors personally have manifested
any ill-will toward any law-abiding
and respectable resident of Evans
Vile because of past residence in
Kentucky. and the charge needs no
further notice than q fat and indig-
nant denial.

Beneat. of Emaneipation,

1t ia no longer profitable to any party
or cause to argue as to the necessary
effects of emancipation. It is fact &C.
complished, for better for worse. Never
theless the fact Of the veri6cation Of the
predictions OF our statesmen and ssges
in times past may not be unworthy Of
notice. And, meanwhile, the means Of
prevention and amelioration should be q
subject of inquiry and interest to the
philanthropist. Half the attending evils,
both social and moral, would be ALE
waited, if not wholly prevented, by the
abolition of the expensive Freedmen's
Bureau. Aud, such is the natural liberality
and beuevoleuce of the Southern people,
that the other half would be considerably
reduced also, il the blacks were simply
controlled by such legislation, equal to
black and white, as has been found in
dispenssble to society in ell ages aud
countries. W. Richardson, Esq, one Of
the editors Of that sterling journal, the
Galveston Ners, having recently been
