TO YOUNG M EN-.

Some odd genius who very evidently
S'knows thing or two" gives the fol
lowing advice TO young men ''who de-
pend on father for their support.
''Come, off with your coat, clinch the
saw, the ploughhandles, the axe, the
pickaxc, the spade-anything that VIII
enable you to stir your blood. Fly
around, tear your jacket rather than be
passive recipient of the old gentle
mans bounty Sooner than play the
dandy at dads expense, hire out to
some potato patci,, let yourself out to
stop holes, or watch the bars, and when
YOU think yourself entitled to resting
spell do it on your own hook. Get up
in tho morninc-turn around at least
twice before breakfast Help the old
gentleman, give him now and then a
lift on business, learn how to take the
lead, and not depend forever on being
led; and YOU have no idea how the dis
cipline will benefit you. Do this and
our word for it, you will seem to breathe
a new atmosphere, possess new frame,
tread a new earth, wake new destiny
and you may begin 10 aspire to man
hood"

purpose OF prosecuting the work to

Shenandoah Valley Company to build
the road, that the iron is now being
made as rapidly as possible for this road,
and which the Company willcommence
laying in very short time, from the
Potomac at this place to Front Royal, a
distance of about 40 miles. The road
to Front Royal is ready for the iron,
and the ties have also been delivered,
and we are glad to state that new lite Is
about to be inaugurated for the compile
ton of this great enterprise. The gra-
ding beyond Front Royal in Page coun-
tv. will also be resumed We also no.
tice that Col. d. V. Ali, the energetic
President of the Harrisburg and Poto-
mac Railroad, WHICH will make connec-
ton with the S. V. Road, at the Poto-

the best ever started in our State. The
rich minerals Of Page and Warren but
wait the means of transportation to be
DEVELOPED, and which, with the pro
ducts of the fertile soil, will ALMOST pay

And safely now at rest;
While we who love thee sadly mourn'

Beyond the reach of pain.

Our spirits sigh with anguish deep

But lie who notes the sparrow iaii,

And point the broken bleeding heart,
To a great meeting day
When loved and loving shall unite
In never ending song:
Nor any pain shall e'er again
Disturb the happy throng.
Wei weep no more" bat upward look
Faith draws the vail aside
See through our tears ourprecious ones
Safe with the glolifed.
