Saving for Old Age.

No one denies that it is wise to make a
provision for old age, but we are not all
agreed as to the kind of provision tits best
to lay in.- Certainly we shall want a little
money, for destitute old man is indeed q
sorry sight. Yes,a save money, by all
means, But an old man needs just that
particular kind of strength which young
mepare most apt to. waste. Many foolish
young fellow viii throw away on holiday
certain amount ofnervous energy which
he, will never feel. the want of till he is
seventy /; and then, how much will he want
it It is curious, but true. that a bottle
ofchamPagne at twenty may intensity the
rheumatism Of the sthree-score. It is a
fact. that everlasting the eyes at fourteen
may neeessitats the aid Of sPeetaeles atfOr-
ty, instead of eighty. ar- 49,
We advise our young readers to be saw
ing of health for their old age, for the
maxim holds good with regard to health
as to money-waste not, want not. L is
the greatest mistake to suppose that any
violation of the laws Of health can escape
its penalty. Nature forgives 40 sin, no
error. she let's off the offender for fifty
years sometimes, but she catches him at
last and inficts the punishment just when,
where, just how he feels it most. Save
up for old age, but save more than money;
cave health. save honor, save knowledge,
save the, recollection of good deeds and in
nocent pleasures save pure thoughts, save
friends, save love. Save rich stores of that
kind of wealth which time can not dimin-
ish, nor death take away. ,..- s--, z....

A RemarkabIe Invention.

1t is stated that German glass maker
+ as lately made remarkable discovery.
He has invented telescope or magnifyiug
glass, by means of which the most intri-
cate nerves and vessels inside of the body
may be seen from the outside. In fact The
whole arrangement and action Of the inte-
rior organs may, by means Of this glass, be
distinguished. @
The discovery will probably be of i'm
neuse benefit to mankind. and as by means
of it the physician will be able to determine
with uuvarying accuracy the nature of any
particular disease, and the proper manner
for treating the same.
The name Of the inventor, who will pro-
bably realize fortune from his discovery
is Gottlieb Juutz. He is very poor, but a
weil-read and highly intelligent man. He
has an aged mother, an invalid wife, six
children and blind sister, all dependent
upon him for support.
The glass he has made will probably
place. him among the first rank Of inventors
and win for him the esteem oE whole ma
tious.
By means Of this invention he has already
nearly cured his wife. Six months ago,
well known doctor said she could not live,
and pronounced her disease to be an affec-
ton Of the heart. s - ~..,....
Juntz, however has now proven TO him
with the aid of the wonderful microscope
that he was entirely mistaken the stomach

Nice Young Man.

aN Nice Young Man.
Every body knows the nice young man;
every body has seen him. He is that mild
aud pleasing person who says, "0h yes!''a
aad fsAh, indeed!'s with so much viyaeity;
who is always the first to hand around the
ices at the party; who knows all about all
the weddings and engagements and balls;
who escorts man ma to her carriage, and
suffers her to converse at him SO amiably.
He seldom talks much, but he is so nice
Generally be Is in the dry goods line. ard
frequently a member of the Young Mems
Christian Association. He has been known
to attempt to teach the Sunday y-sehool, but
The mental exerti6n. is commonly too severe.
His personal appearance is not remarkable.
He is unusually fair, with light hair and
gentle blue eyes Il is desirable that he
should have moustache, straw-colored if
possible, and in-size like an exaggerated
eyebrow. His dress must be so perfect as
to leave, like himself. definite impression
on the mind except one of extreme Riee7t
ness. and his back hair should always be
parted in an exact line with the seem Of
his collar, Brains in moderation are. not,s
as we have already intimated, an absolute
objection, but their possession, should be
carefully hidden, Ideas are fatal to his su-s
premacy. One of the incest young men
we ever knew lost forever his proud pre-
eminence from the fatal accidental commits
sion of a thought, But feelings he may.
indeed must, constantly exhibit: it is indis-
pensable that the real nice young man should
be as sensitive as a new author or public
functionary accused of -peculationsa He
may play little on the piano, or, better
still. on the guitar, and occasionally sing to
his own accompaniment in an unobtrusiVe
tenor; sometimes he paints nicely aud often
writes poetry of sentimental nature, not
fatiguingly intellectual, and he dances-ohl
he dances divBely.
The end and scope aof the nice young
man IS existence is not. SO easy to define

or take dear Aunt Jane down to supper; so
eager, to do him justice. for any service
where eagerness does not need to be sup
plemented by intellect. And as these are
things which somebody must do, the nice
young man has his place in the economy
of creation. Perhaps he is intended to
show how small quantity of brains is nee
essary for human existence. We have
sometimes thought that his mission was to
preserve one from marrying that nice girl
who is his counterpart, whom everybody
falls in love with, and, being sooner orlater
cut out by the nice young man, blesses his
stars forever after. On the whole, we think
it most probably that the latter is the de-
sign of Heaven in his creation. a..

3 s1l-.-aeA A Noble Stand.

Alluding to judge Hunter, of Mem
Pnis, the Avalanche says: r.-r.t..-
He. evidently has contempt upon tie
brain. He has certainly taken in more
ground than he can cultivate. On Satur-
day he ordered the arrest of the proprietors
Of the Avalanche upon three additional
charges of contempt for his august majesty.
We have expressed 40 contempt for the in
corporated tribunal over which this infa-
nous poacher upon the rights Of the people
and the liberty of free press, erects his
hang dog countenance. But if William
Hunter imprsons us in proportion to the
contempt. we entertain for him as a corrupt
man. our Imprisonment will be as long as
that which made the life OF John Bunyan
immortal, and if he fines US in proportion
to the contempt we feel for him IS a stupid
judge, devoid of knowledge, decency. truth
and honor, we win soon owe his court an

may play upon his harp of thousand
strings to the full content of his rotten
heart, without moving US from our purpose.
The principles involved are of too much
magnitude for US to shirk the issue. al

maintainance. Of our own rights. may entail
upon ourselves personal Inconvenience.

ELOQUENT PAssAGE.-For the greatest
human intellects there is no exception from
the common doom. 1 have sometimes
thought how sublime must have been the
emotions of that man whose privilege it
was to stand by the coffin Of Shakespeare
and gaze on the sweet and noble face,
when death had called out all the strange
beauty which never lives there. 1t was
worth lifetime to have stood there one
minute, to have laid your hand on that
broad brow, and started at the cold chill,
and so pause to have called up in memory
all the magnificent creations of his genius,
and worshipped him there in the silence
and the gloom. -'efarZE-
