Duties of Young Men to Society.

IT is the duty Of young men to do all
they can to elevate society.
To do this they must be honest, indus
trious, gcntlemanly, and charitable.
Honest as this is the only way TO live
happily. This has been proven by the
experience of many men; SO, If ever
tempted to do dishonest act, that time
honored maxim, ("Honesty is the best
policy,") should enter our minds with ten
fold force, and we should cast from us any
thought or implication of dishonest inn
port.
Industrious: because it is our duty 10
do something towards our own support
although we may have kind parents, who
will provide us with the neccssaries of life,
vet, we should try To improve our time in
some manner, so that we may benefit our
selves and those around us. In the ami
NAL and vegetable kingdoms, on this globe,
we see the young of either class provided
for, but, when they arrive at suitable ages
they are required 10 provide for them
selves. This is true, with the exception
of few domestic animals which me n pro-
vides for, but, by providing for them, he
finds their value increased beyond what II
would be if they were in wild state, and
he thus receives compensation for his
trouble.
If this is true of animals and vegetables,
why is it not the duty of young men to do
something towards their own support
We do not pretend to say how this shall
be done; but every young man should
choose some occupation, suited TO his taste
and labor indusiriously in that occupa-
ton.
Gentlemanly: as by so doing we I'M
prove ourselves and in the same degree,
that we improve, those around Us over
whom we have any influence, be 1t ever
so light, will improve.
Charitable: for by being charitable we
can help many people over the hills and
rough places in life; it is not always ne
cesSary to extend charity in the form OF
worldly goods, but, be charitable in spirit !;
have "A feeling of sympathy for others IN
their Affections; though, if charity in the
form of worldly goods is required, do not
give begrudgingly, but give what you can,
remembering that Bread cast upon the
waters shall be returned again. - Western

A CLERGYMAN in Lexington, Virginia.
who served as a chaplain in the Confeder
ate army, from the beginning TO the end
OF the late civil war, sends us an account
of the following strange incident, which,
he assures us, may be depended on as
strictly true:
Among the Confederates wounded at
the battle of Antietam, who fell into the
hands OF the Union forces, was a Young
private OF good family, named r, from
the mountain region of Virginia. He was
boy at school when the war broke out,
and abandoned his studies to shoulder a
muskct in the army of General Lee. He
was shot through the lungs at Antietam,
and, after lying for a long time on the
field, was carried to a Union hospital, and
tenderly cared for by Maryland surgeon
attached to the Northern army, under
whose skillful treatment the young Nir-
ginian soon became convalescent The
Marylander conceived strong liking for
his patient, and, procuring his release on
parole, took him TO his own house, where
he remained in comfort and security until
he Was exchanged, when he returned to
the Confederate army.
Some time late in the war, the Mary
land surgeon, while with his regiment in
Virginia, got separated from his comrades,
and, being cut off from joining them by
Early's cavalry, took to the woods to
avoid capture, and wandered for several
days among the forests and mountains
until he became utterly exhausted with,
fatigue and hunger. In this desperate
strait, he resolved to apply for help at the
first house he should come to, even at the
risk of being arrested and consigned To a
rebel prison. He soon reached a dwelling
of the better class, in which he found at
home an intelligent-looking lady and
several small children. He made himself
known as a surgeon in the Union army
and asked for food and shelter. The
lady replied that a Federal surgeon had
been very kind to her son while a prisoner
of war, and for his sake she would do
what she could for the stranger This
remark led to mutual inquiries and cXpla-
nations, from which the Marylander
learned that the house to which he had
thus accidentally wandered was the home
of Young p, his patient from the
field of Antietam 1t may easily be i'm
agined that he was warmly welcomed to
its hospitalties, and provided in due time
with the means of regaining the Union
lines in safety.-1pplet0E's Journal.

How Candies are Made.

WOULDN'T you like To 90 with me tn
that mysterious land of sweets, where all
the candies come trom2
| suppose YOU imagine II to be some eN-
ouisite, fairy-like place, where niue eiNcS
measure, concoct, mix, stir up and roll out
the various kinds of bon-bons which you
buy in nice boxes. No such thing on the
contrary. IL is a commonplace looking
brown building that shall take YOU into.
and. instead of fairies, you VIII see DIG
men, with their sleeves rolled up. working
in huge cellars. before immense furnaces.
where the delicious sweets are melted and
mixed.
Think of seeing a brawny armed man
rolling "chunl.' of soft candy INTO Il
stick. two or three feet long, ornamentung
il with stripes of different colored candy,
and at last cutting it into lengths To sell
for penny.
II IS wonderful how much work is eX-
pended on little things. Gum drops and
cordial drops of various kinds are all
formed in moulds. Perhaps you have
wondered how the delicious drop OF pear
or pineapple essence gets into the center
of a cordial drop. IL Is thus when the
suoar is a beautiful, clear liquid, like water,
and ready 10 come up, they mix with II
some of the essence, and pour II into tho
moulds The sugar at once crystalizes,
becomes hard and white; the essence does
not crystalize, and remains in the middle
of the sugar crystal.
Flat candies, like hearts, crosses, &c
are cut out of thin sugar dough, as YOU
have seen biscuit cut from flour dough.
some kinds are pressed into shape, while
soft, by rollers with figures or words ON
them. which figures of course, are nm
pressed upon the candy.
1t takes many men To make the candies
that are sold i'm this one building, and II
takes thirty five girls to sell them. ou
would fancy that a good many cholct
sweets would find their way between the
lips of these thirty five girls; but thcil
emnloyer is wise man, and he takes
mains To cure his clerks OF that desire, the
first thing. This is how he does it When
| a new clerk comes 10 him, he gives he
cordial leave 10 eat as much as she wishes
| Well. girls are all fond of sweets, and the
new hand is sure to stuff herself 10 sucl
An extent as to make herself sick an'
after that day she wants no more candy
| Girls sometimes remain five or SIN year
| in the house, and never taste a sugar plum
This result seems incredible, but IL ha
been proved by years Of experience.

bons are made, they are put into eNqulsit

KleptOlnania.

A CASE of kleptOmania, called so wher
person in station takes what is anOther's
but which is generally dcnominatcd lar
ceny or robbery when "poor cuss p" is
the guilty party, has just occurred here
the facts of which are as follows:
On Thursday or Friday last, a lady al
genteel appearance, the better half of a
prominent gentleman in the legal frater-
nifty, entered the fancy goods store of f.
G.pDavis, corner Eighth street and Market
space, for the purpose of making some
purchases. She was waited on by one of
the lady clerks, who was surprised to see
the lady, as she was about t. leave, secrete
in her muff Roman scarf, valued at SIT.
She was allowed to depart, and the clerk
informed her employer of what had oc-
CURED. A consultation was held at the
residence of the lady, when dialogue
somewhat in this fashion occurred
Clerk-Mrs. -, forgot whether you
told me to charge that scarf you got of us
yesterday, or whether you wanted me to
bring bill for it at once.
Lady apparently surprised) - What
scarf have you reference to?
Clerk mean the scarf that you got
yesterday. Don't you remember it,
Lady-Why you must be crazy. 1 did
not get any scarf
Clerk-You certainly did, madam, or /
am greatly mistaken. If you will look
through your muff, or your under ward
robe, think you will find it.
In response to this the lady bounced
out of the room, apparently very angry,
but soon returned, bearing a muff in her
hand, demanding of the clerk to search
1t If you think there is a scarf there"
The sharp eyes of the female measurer
of tapes quickly detected trifle of fringe
hanging from one corner of the muff,
which she took in her hand, and in
twinkling, from beneath the lining she
drew forth the identical scarf which had
been "klcptomanized" the day before, re-
marking quickly as she did so:
There, | thought you had forgotten il"
The kleptomanlac burst into tears, and
prayed the lady clerk not to let her hus-
band know Of it. She would pay for it.
"Here," said she, take this and pay for
it," handing the clerk 500 bill. The lady
clerk took the money and the scarf, and in
short time thereafter the messenger of
the establishment was seen ringing the
door bell of the lady's mansion, having in
his hand a parcel containing a Roman
scarf, So in change, and receipted bill
for $17.- Washington Republican.

An Arab Sermon.

ONE morning Eddyn Efiendi ascendcd
his pulpit to preach, and, addressing his
hearers, said:
40 believers, know ye what am going
to talk about? ?"
They replied that they did not.
"Well then" rejoined he, "since you
do not know, do you suppose am going
to tell you?"
Another morning he again appeared in
the pulpit and said:
40 believers, know We not what am
going to tell you"
They replied that they did.
"If you know il, then said he, need
not tell ii to YOU" and he descended from
his pulpit, and went his way.
His auditors, puzzled what To do, al
length agreed that, if he again made hi:
appearance, some of them would say they
did not know, others that they did.
And again Eddyn Eaendi mounted int,
the pulpit and said
40 Mussulme, know ye what am go
ing to say to you?"
To which some replied:
ave know others, I'VE know not.
"Good !" returned he, "let those wh'
know tell those who do not"

AROUND the idea of ones mother the
mind of man clings with fond affection.
1t is the first dear thought stamped upon
our infant heart, when yet soft and capa-
bic of receiving the most profound I'M
pressions, and all the after feelings are
more or less light in comparison. Our
passions and our wilfulness may lead us
far from the object of our filial love; we
may become wild, headstrong, and angry
at her counsels or opposition; but when
death has stilled her monitory voice, and
nothing but calm memory remains To re-
capitulate her virtues and good deeds, at
fection, like flower beaten TO the ground
by rude storm, raises up her head and
smiles amid her tears. Round that idea
as we have said, the mind clings with fond
affections, and even when the earlier pc
riod of our loss forces memory 10 be silent
fancy takes the place of remembrance, and
twines the image of our departed with a
garland of graces, and beauties, and ylr
tues, which we doubt not that she pos
sessed.

Lost on the Prairie.
A TRUE STORY.


SOME years since, party of surveyors
had just finished their days work in the
northwestern part Of Illinois. when vio-
lent snow storm came on. They started
for their camp which was in grove of
about eighty acres, in large prairie,
nearly twenty miles from any other tim
Der.
The wind was blowing very hard, and
the snow drifting SD as to nearly blind
them. When they thought they mad near
ly reached their camp, they all at once
came upon tracks in the snow. These
they looked at with care and found, To
their dIsmay, that they were their own
tracks.
1t was now plain that they were lost on
the great prairie, and that, if they had 10
pass the night there in the cold and the
snow, the chance was, that not one of
them would be alive in the morning.
While they were all shivering with fear
and with cold, the chief man of the party
caught sight of one of their horses, a gray
pony, known as "Old Jack"
Then the chief said, "If any one can
show us our way to camp, out of this
binding snow, Old Jack can do it. l will
take off his bride, and let him loose, and
we will follow him. / think he will show
us the way to our camp.
The horse, as soon as he found himself
free, threw his head and tail in the air, as
if proud of the trust that had been put in
him. Then he snuffed the breeze, and
gave loud snort, which seemed to say,
"Come on, boys. Follow me. FL lead
you out of this scrape."
He then turned in new direction, and
trotted along, but not so fast that the men
could not follow him. They had not gone
more than mile when they saw the cheer
ful blaze of their camp fires. They all
gave loud huzzah at the sight.
They felt grateful to God for their safe
tv, and threw their arms round Old Jacks
neck to thank him for what he had done
know that this is a true story, for my
father was the chief of the party on the

That love you!

Grows more clear
And the parspets of Heaven with angels leaning
Seem more near,
And nature sings of praise with all her voices
Since yours spoke.

A GREAT natural curiosity is situated in
the Cascade Mountains, about seventy five
miles northeast of Jacksonville, Oregon.
1t is called the "Sunken Lake" This
lake is thought to average 1000 feet down
to the surface of the water all round. The
walls are almost perpendicular, running
down into the water, and leaving no
beach The depth is unknown, its surface
is smooth and unrufllcd, and 1t lies SO far
below the surface of the mountains that
the air currents do not affect 1T. Its
length is estimated at twelve miles, and
its breadth at ten No man living has been,
