TO Young Men.

Those young gentlemen (O who make
night hideous with their drunken brawling
will be profted by the following extract, which
we clip from an exchange There are many
boys, yes, boys, not yet sixteen, we dailymcet
in our walks, who have started out upon this
road which ends in unutterab|e misery, and
many mother sits waiting for until far into
the night. In our own city these things are
Transporting:
My Boy Drunh Drunk my boy drunk !!
and the tears started to the mothers eyes, and
sho bent her head in unutterable SORROW In
that moment the vision Of useful and hon
orable career was destroyed; and one d. worth
lesspess, if not absolute dishonor. presented
itself Well did she know that intcmperancc
walks hand in hand with poverty, shame and
death and his mothers heart was pierced as
with pointed steel. All, young man, if the
holy feeling of a love for her who bore you is
not dead within you shun that which gives
her pain adhere to that which gives her JOY
If she is with you on earth she does net, can
not desire to see her son drunkard if she
is with her Farther in Heaven, she knows
that your conduct shuts heaven against you
and debars you out from her society forever
The drunkard cannot inherit the kingdom Of
God.

Mrs. LineaIn,s Pension.

Mrs. Lincoln's application for a pension,
and the manner In which the Radicals have

comment. The numerous correspondent Of
the New York Mercury thus alludes to it:

The "COuntry Press. -

Three Of the happiest years of our life
were spent in editing and conducting what is
technically known as a. country newspaper y
Wherefore We claim to say just word under
the above head:
FIRST, personally, we have an unaffected re-
spect ior-country editors, and genuine sym
pathy with their labors. AS class, we have
found them not only intelligent and progress
i've, but great conservators and promoters of
qood. The habit into which they are quite
sure to fall Of looking after the moral interest
of the communities for which they labor, and
Of which they are the accredited organs, con-
firms them in good works and noble aspira-
tons The impenetrable mystery which sur
rounds their calling, owing to the general ig-
norance of g 10" newspapers are made, and
the uuconquerabie reverence for anything
which appears in print" gives an import
ance to their opiuions which they are not
slow to perceive. aud which they are apt to
make good use Of. In point Of position and
influence the country editor is second to no
man in the community. His constituents, as
class. are cou6dng aud uncritical, and 50
long as he does not abuse this confidence by
insincerlty Or disregsrded for the public good
he holds power which is equally shared with
no other man, be he priest or layman. We
have on our exchange list over oae thousand
country newspapers, every one of which we
personally inspect This is our recreation
I'VE never tire OF it. Of course we read very
little of all we see in this vast field of record
ING thought, but we catch the leading ideas
as indicated in Che head lines, aud occasional
ly take in the elaborated thoughts Of the writ
ers but it is such pleasure to look into the
faces Of our friends and co workers, and tt
feel that, although separated as we are BY
miles OF intervening space, We are all nnltee
in the same great purpose, each in his owl
| way, and according to the means on hand
but all earnestly and honestly endea7orins t
make the world better.
We are under the deepest personal obi!ga
tons to the country press for the uncxceptlon
able recognition which our humble adventur
has met at its hands and although we ar
thus moved to a gratitude quite beyond Gu
power to express, we would not, if We coal'
make the obligation less. 1t is a kind Of deb
which we delight to owe, and the larger it is
and the more impossible for US ever to pay
the happier we feel-all owing we are ASSURED
to the saagnanimity of our creditors. -Pich

Nanleless.


There were great lights from the palace
Streaming on the outer trees
That with feetings thro' the trellis,
Play'd in tremor at his knees;
As poet, lone and friendless,
Underneath the walls Of fame,
Sat in silence, while the endless
Notes Of glory music came
Life to him was bleak and aimless,
As he sat within the shade
Telling DER the wonders nameless
That his poet heart had made
"Could he pass the amber portal,
And the jasper halls alone,
Where the poet souls immortal
Held their revelry of song!"
"Could he strike the chord Of sorrow,
Inthe upper choral spheres,
Where, to morrow-and tomorrow,
1t would echo down the years!
Could he grasp the ivy clinging
At the marble easement now,
ana amid Inc SplrltS singing
Wear ii deathless on his brow?'
once no thought to climb the terrace,
To the open opal gate,
Where beyond the sweeping arras,
Swelled the voices Of the great
Where the stricken harp strings-goldea-
Give their notes in high accord,
"To the music stories olden-
To the glory of the Lord"
But his soul, untaught and simple,
Shrieking outward, turned away,
While the great lights from the temple
Drove the night time from the day.
81 shall seek the shadow yonder-
Underneath the quiet pine
These are harp-notes, higher, grander,
Than can ever come from minei'
Soft he touched The strings like summer
Touching Ger the barren trees
And the night bore out the murmur,
Through the valleys to the seas.
Softer, sweeter, went the cadence
Through tho branches and above,
As came visions unto maidens
IN the time of early love.
Through the gates of opal splendor,
And along the Jasper wall,
Pass the notes Of music tender,
Through the corridor and hail.
And his tones sweep in the chamber,
From the shadow and the gloom,
And their liquid echoes Chamber,
Up in arras to the dome.
And they rise and fall like pillows,
Through the alchoves of the air;
Passing in and out the willows,
And cross beyond the mere.
High and grand, and godly power
Sweeps along the palace caves,
Till the ivy vine in flower
Trembles music from its leaves
And the poet souls may listen
To the outer harp tonight;
And the great lamps CLEAN and glisten,
In their ecstacy Of light
These are music tones undying,
These are worthy highest name,
From the poet spirit lying
Underneath the walls of fame.

Get Sleep Enough.

A young man in business must not fail to
acknowledge one important mathematical
fact /:
He knows by experience about how many
hours sleep he needs to be as fresh one day
as on the day preceding and he must &C.
knowledge the fact that he cannot sit up late
and rise carly aud get the requisite amount
of sleep. There is right mathematical OBJ.
stace to the accomplishment of such feat.
IF he needs seven hours sleep-as many
young door eight hours, as more young
men do-he cannot get them between one
and seven o'clock in the morning. If he in
sists on late hours, he must neglect either his
sleep at night Or his business in the morning
Nearly every young man has sufficient
mathematical acuteness at seven o'clock in the
morning to appreciate the impossibility of
taking one from seven and leaving eight
The question is whether or not he appreciates
this impossibility in the evening when he is
called upon to decide between folly good
time" and his bed
O4e very frequent mistake is that lost
sleep can be "made up La the first place,
whatever young man may Intend to do. no
very seldom actually tries to snake up for
lost sleep If he needs eight hours sleep
and gets five, he usually makes up the lost
three hours by sleeping about oae hour Ion.
ger than usual the next night. Or perhaps
he depends on Sunday for balancing the week,
and three hours extra sleep "makes" up fer
ten hours lost. Ia the second place, ono
hour OF regular sleep is worth, for the purposes
OF reouperation, at least two hour make up"
sumber. There is practically, no such thing
as making up" lost sleep. If young man
determines to dispense with three hours of
his regular sleep, he must make up his mind
to lose those three hours.
Every hour lost is draft upon his phyai.
cal and mcntal capacity, his bodily vigor, his
intellect. Now we would by no means say
that man should never draw upon his capt.
tai, but it is certainly very bad policy to do
50 frequently. Far better live upon that
daily income of freshness and vigor which
abundant and regular sleep insures.
We do not propose to preach sermon on
shealthy, wealthy and wise" We simply
protest against the idea that lost sleep can be
made up" and would remind our readers
that however pIauslbly they may argue with
themselves at eleven o'clock in the evening"
figures will not lie for their accommodation
in the morning.
The time at which temptation to keep
late hours usually meet a young man is the
early part of the evening, when he is still
fresh and does not realize the necessity Of
sleep At eight o'clock the theatres arc
opened. This is about the hour, too, that
friends propose to "nlake a night of it," or
'to have d good time" No need to sleep Is
fels, and nothing but memory suggests any
disagreeabie results of "a little fun" The
question to be answered by the Judgment at
such time is not so much matter Of per
sonal comfort as Of health aud vigor.
