Integrity Of Character.

Young men should be deeply
impressed with the vast Importance
Of cherishing those principles and
Of cultivating those habits which
will secure them the confidence and
the esteem OF the wise and good.
A young man may be unfortu-
nate, he may be poor and penniless,
but if he possess unbending integ-
rity and unwavering purpose to do
what is honest and just, he will
have friends and patrons, whatever
may he the embarrassments and
exigencies into which he is thrown.
The young may thus possess a cap
ital of which none of the misfor-
tunes and calamities Of life can de-
prive them.
We have known men who have
suddenly been reduced from in
fluence to penury by some over
whelming misfortune, which they
could neither foresee nor prevent.
To-day they are prosperous, to-
morrow everything in their future
prospect of life is dark and dismal.
Their business is gone, their pros
perity gone, and they feel that all
is gone but they have a rich
treasure that nothing can take
away. They have integrity of
character. and this gives them in
fluence, raises up friends, furnishes
them with pecuniary aid with
which to commence life once more
under auspicious circumstances.
We cannot too strongly impress
upon our young men the impor-
tance IF abstaining from every
thing which shocks their moral
sensibilities, wounds their con-
science, and has tendency to
W aiken that nice sense OF honor
aud integrity so indispensable to a
good character. "Integrity of
characteri" who ever possessed 1t,
that did not derive untold advan-
tege from it 1t is better than
riches, it is Of more value than
diamonds and all precious stones :
and yet every man may possess it,
and no power on earth can wrest
II from them. Young man prize
integrity of character above oil
earthly gifts.

supplied to the clover lands, and
he never knew good clover lay
that did not make good crop Of
wheat. Clover is manure both
above and under the surface; the
roots are large, run deep, and bring
up plant-food from the subsoil that
has been washed in below the reach
of ordinary plants. Clover, ac-
cording toV9lcker, fixes nitrogen
in nitrogen in the soil during every
stage of its growth, and nitrogen
is the specific manure for the
wheat crop. A good crop Of clover
has been estimated as the equiva-
lent for twenty loads Of ordinary
yard manure for an acre of land.
Plaster does not always benefit
the wheat, but it helps the clover.
1t is true that clover is a lime plant
that does best on the fossiliferous
limestone lands. George Geddes,
Of Onondaga, N. Y, has some
fields that have been cropped more
than fifty years with no other
manure than clover and plaster,
He says crop Of corn raised on
a clover lay needs but little hoeine.
il the cultivator is used to keep the
surface open to the light showers
and dews.

God made Adam out Of dust,
But thought II best to make me nrst
so was made before the man,
According to Gods holy plan.
My body he has made complete,
But without legs, OF arms, or feet
Nor did he give me q soul,
Yet, did my actions well CONTROL,
living creature became,
First Adam gave TO me my name;
Then from his presence / withdrew,
No more OF Adam ever knew;
] did my Makers laws obey,
From them L never went astray,
Thousands of miles ran in fear.
But seldom on the earth apper;
But God did in me something SEQ
And put living soul in me.
And sin in me the Lord did blame.
And took from me that soul again;
And when from me that soul had fed,
was the same as when first made.
And without feet or hands, or soul,
travel now from pole TO pole.
suffer on by day or night,
In giyin z fallen men great light,
For thousands both Of young and old
DO at my death great light behold;
No fear of death doth trouble me,
For happiness l cannot see;
TO Heaven above ne'er can go
Nor 70 the grave or hell below;
The scriptures truth can't believe
Whether right or wrong can't conceive,
Although therein my name is found
They are 10 Inc an empty sound.
A M vhan these lines my friends you read.
