what Can a Young MAN Do

What can a young man do? DO |!
he has immense power for evil and
for good. He can ruin his health; he
can debase his intellect; he can muir
der his conscience-he can deaden
and destroy it; he can deteriorate his
moral taste and his moral feelings; he
can fill his mind with gross and de-
basing imagery, and his mouth with
impurity; he can become sensual and
disgusting in his habits; he can lose
the confidence of society; he can lose
his situation; he can be cast off on the
world, as thing that cannot be trus-
ted; he can become coatemptible; he
can break his fathers heart; he can
make anguish come down like dark
cloud, and press upon the brow of his
mother, aud upon the counrenances
of his sisters. A young man can do
all this-can act so. that his very
friends shall never wish to hear his
name, and shall only secretly, III their
hearts, follow him with their anxieties
aud their prayers.

IT is almost certain, says the Louie

IT is almost certain, says the Louie
vile Ledger, that Congress will bring
articles of impeachment against Grant
before the present term is over. HIS
administration is becoming more hid
eous in the eyes of the country every
day, and the Democratic members in
the Lower House will undoubtedly
express the sentiments of the people
in demanding that the President be
pnlled from the high place he has dis
graced. Although it has not as yet
been proven thai Grant has been
guilty of actual dishonesty, still he
has been the Indirect cause of the
governments losing millions of do.-
lars through the thievery of those of
his friends whom he appointed to
Office in opp osition to the protest o
the best men of his own party. He
placed illiterate and dishonest officials
n positions which demanded ster-
ling business education and tried in
tegrity, and In doing this he has not
oaly dishonored the nation, but has
been the means of causing the q
gigantic steals in the history of any
country. The impeachments snight not

The Cold Weather IN Florida.

The Jacksonville (Fla.) Press says
that some of the young. banana plants
in and near that city, show the effects
of Jack Frost. The balmy air of the
South has succeeded in driving back
the wave of cold air which pressed
down upon us from the frigid regions
of the North, and we hone that it may
be kept back for the rest of the winter
In this latitude the weather is as mild
as we could desire.
The same paper says that a thin coat
of window pabe ice was visible to early
rises on last Wednesday morning.
But in the next breath the editor tells
US that he saw on the day before the
appearance of the ice, large basket

CHRIS EMSS.


vbieh the angels welcomed the Babe
of Bethlehem, eighteen hundred years
ago. fiji $ the world with Joy and love
this lay. The old, old song will be
ever new while the heart of maa shall
beat. All the memories, traditions
and sacred associations which Belong
TO it have been carefully preserved
that tn may be fresh for this very
morning. The air is filled with their
holy influence They beam in every
face, and speak from ev ry tongue.
They kindle u warmer and better life
in every heart.
We do well to recall the initial hour
with cong and festal cheer. When
Heaven rejoices it is not for Earth to
nut on 5; OK Goth and mourn ing. Dull,
indeed, must be the ears to celes tia!
Ea1nonits, aud calIous must be the
hear ts to holy enjoy ments which wound
check the merry greetings of the GLAD
Christmas time. Songs of rejoIciugs
and gladness, only, fell upon the ears
of the watching shepherds on that
first Christmas Eve, and these are aud
vii be the syplools Of the festival IN
til the last sy liable of re corded time. "
Pain, care, sorrow. bereavement were
in the void then as now, but over all
the darker shadows came the wonder
ful brightness of h new revelation.
Though change is written indelably
upon all customs and usages, and the
age holds few things sacred which have
their origin in the past, it foudIy clings
to CIR stmas as the hope OF pnrpet-
ual youth. Its welcome coming is
heralded with happy demonstrations,
and is sigoalized with universal ex
change of kind wishes and generous to-
kens, with a fresh outbreak of iov
among families, kindred and friends
and personal recognition everywhere
of the spirit of the times The morn ,
ing opens on groups Of happy chill
dren, households reunited and re bap-
tizedin love, streets alive with greeting
friends, parlors decorated with the
Christ mas tree and the holly bush,
~Iurches clad IN evergreens, and all
Christian lands turning their faces
Worshipfuily to the East. It surely
must be a divine influence that can
SO fiji the world with such a glow and
fusion OF universal feeling of ioy
aud love.
But it Is at home, in the commuui-
ty in which we dwell, in the endeared
family circle, among friends and kin
dred, when greeting familiar faces AID
exchanging friendly saIutations that
. Christmas presses its greatest delights
upon our hearts. The gleesome patter
OF chll0ren's feet in the halls and on
the STAIRS, as they ~wake the echoes of
home in the first light of morning. is
1T herald i'll every household for the
day s blessed coming. The domestic
traditions, meIIowed by the hearts sa-
cred memories, g!ows anew with quaint
and tender associations. The same
Santa Claus that comes down the
chImaey ani fills the stockings for the
Children, leaves blessing also in every
hou e, aud fills the hearts Of the bouse-
hold with gratitude and love. It is
lonnd IN the closer knitting of the
hearts it folds Tie warmth kindies
there, on the vary hearth that bears its
crop of stuffed little stockings. It
shines like ruddy blaze in every face:

We copy the following from the
Western Expositor, (Asheville) under
the above head, for the pur-
pose of experiencing our graft
dcation at the way our western
friends, and especially the press of
that section, are endeavoring to turn
the current of trade of the great
West, to the seaport which is its natu-
raj market. The Eapositor well says
that Wilmington is the proper market
for the produce of that section, and
we shall inpatiently wait to see the
Erpositor fulfill it's promise to say
much on the subject of directing this
trade to the great North Carolina mar
ket. On our own part, we promise to
to aid the Erposttor in setting forth
the many inducements which the mer-
chants of Wilmington continuously
offer to the business men of the West.
We will endeavor to keep the VII
mington to market and marine reports
of the JOURNAL prominent feature of
this paper, SO that our Western breth-
rem may see daily, at glance, our IA
cilities for trade and commerce.:
We call attetion to the column head
ed "Wilmington Advertisements" as
follows:
Aaron & Rheinstein.
Worth & Worth.
Kerchner & Calder Brothers.
Williams & Murchison.
James Walker-Marbie Works.
Bank Of New Hanover.

These gentlemen now seek the trade
and commercial cooperation of the peo
pie of Western North Carolina. These
gentlemen in Wilmington exhibit the
most commendable enterprise in the
great effort now to blind the city of
Wilmington into closer commercial re-
lation with the great West. Those
houses proposes to sell goods in
their several lines as cheap as can be
bought in Baltimore or New York.
The commission merchants will use
every possible effortto sell at the best
prices, our produce from the noun
tains.
We are glad to see the rapidly-grow
ing disposition of our people to trade
at Wilmington. Their is North Caro-
lima market; let us trade at home.
Here is the market for our produce.
In inc future we shall have much to
say on this subject, but will only add
that all those houses now advertised
in our columns are of the most relia-
BILE, enterprising and trustworthy in
the State.
