How Young Men are Ruined.

Mr. Greeley pictures the process, by which young man goes down step by step, from the possibilities of his early life to failure and destruction, in the following plain and pungent way.
 As an apprentice or minor his means were scanty, and he spent them on his own needs and appetites, at least as fast as he received them. At length he became a journeyman, when his in- come was suddenly swelled to double or treble it's former sum. He had al- ready developed expensive appetites, he has now the means of securing their qualification, Each month, or week, puts him in possession of an amount at least double his absolute needs; and the surplus; ''burns in his pocket" till it is expended. He is sim gle; he is in the hayday of youthful energy and youthful passion he seems to have boundless capacities to earn as well as to enjoy he fancies that money will always come as easily and be as unlimited as now; and is surrounded by journeyman older in sin than him self Thus he is insensibly and grad ually drawn into life of dissipation and debauchery. Balls, clubs, saloons, grog-shops, gaming-houses, and even more shameful haunts, allure him to waste his time and squander his ear nings until diseased in body, and de- prayed in soul, he is fully enlisted in the devils service, and often sinks through vice into crime. Even if he escapes this final plunge, keeping tol- erably faithful to his work, and ulti- matly marries, he has disqualified him self for domestic life, and the com panionship of a pure, true woman; he has acquired vicious tastes and habits, which will cling to him through life /; he has entered upon path which leads, naturally, to drunkard's pauper's a suicides grave.

No rguaiC in tsse Enst.

The Asiatic has no ear and no soul for music. Like other savages and children, he loves a noise, and he plays on shrill pipes--on the tarbuka, on the tar or tam bourine, and a sharp, one-stringea fiddle, or rahal. Of course In your first oriental day, you will decline no invitations, but you will grow gradually deaf to all entrea- ties of friends or dragomen to sally forth and hear music. You will remind him that you did not come to the East to go to bedlaIn. The want of music Is not strange, for silence is natural in the East and the tropics. When sitting quietly at home in midsummer, sweeping ever sun ward in the glowing heats, we at length reach the tropics in the fixed fervor of a July noon the day is rapt, the birds are still, the wind swoons, and the burning sun glsres silence on the world The Orient is that primeyal and perpetual noon that very heat explains to you the voluptuous elaboration of it's architecture, the brillisnee of it's costume, the pictures eueness of its life But no Mozart was needed to SOW Persian gardens with roses breathing love and beauty, no Beethoven to build Ilimalayas; no Rossini to spar kle aud sing with the birds and streams. Those realities are there of which the com posers are the poets to Vestern imagina- tions. In the East you see and feel music, but hear it never. The Syrian songs of the desert are very sad They harmonize with the burning monotony of the land seape in their long recitstive and shrill vail. The camel steps more willingly to that natural music; but the Howadji, swaying upon his back, is tranced in the sound, so naturally born of silence.

Blessed is the Paying subscrI-
 beF

Blessed is the man who doth sub- scribe for a newspaper and pay there- for. His feet shall not be forsaken by his friends, nor persecuted by his ene- mics, nor shall his seed go begging.
 Blessed is he that walketh in the office of newspaper, yea, even en- tereth the sanctum and payeth B years subscription therefor. Selsh.
 He shall learn wisdom day by day, and be exalted above his fellows.
 He shall talk knowingly upon all subjects, and his neighbors shall be astonished at the muchness of his learning.
 He shall not contract bad debts nor loose good bargains.
 He shall not pay an additional per cent, on taxes, for his eyes shall behold the notice to the collector, and he will take warning thereby.
 Verify, he shall bring his products to market when the prices are exceeding ly good, and withhold them when the price descendeth.
 He shall not lay hold of red-hot po- kers, for knowledge of metsllurgy will teach him that hot iron burns!
 His children shall not vex him nor his wife wear the brooches.
 He shall live to good old age, and when his dying hour is at hand, his soul shall not be troubled as to his future state.
 But it were better for him that doth refuse to subscribe for newspaper, that he be bound hand and foot, and cast upon feather bed. He shall not rest, either by night or by day, for vis- ions of creditors shall dance upon his stomach by night, and their actual pre- sence torment him by day.
 If porchanee he hath moments peace, it is only that he may have lit- tie rest ere the memory of an evil life lascerates his mind as the goad bricks the hide of the strong OK, so that the punishment may be longer drawn out.
 His children shall grow up in wicked ness they shall put their hands to their noses to vex him to wrath, and his wife shall kick him out of bed.

THE STORY OF LIFE.
BY JOHN c. BAKE,

Say, what of life Iris to be born
 helpless Babe; to greet the light With sharp vail, as if the morn
 Foretold cloudy noon and night; To weep, to sleep and weep again,
 With sunny smiles between and then And then apace the infant grows
 To be a laughing, pulling boy, Happy, despite his little woes,
 Were he but conscious of his joy; To be in short from two to ten.
 A merry, moody Child; and then? And theR in coat and trowsers clad, To learn to say the decalogue And break il; ; and minimizing lad
 With mirth and mischief all agog; A truant oft by field and fen
 To capture butterflies; and then? And then at last, to be a man;
 To fall in love; to woo and wed; With seething brain to scheme and plan ; Flo gather gold or toil for bread; To sue for fame with tongue or pen. And gain or lose the prize; and then :? And then in gray and wrinkled Ed To mourn the speed of lifes decline To praisethe scenes in youth beheld, And dwell in mem'ry of Lang Syne; To dream awhile with darkened ken, Then drop into his grave, and then
