A General Advance in Prices To Be Fol-

that in tho articles OF food there is falling of in

to the unprecedented volume OF the corn crop this
year and the probability Of tho yield OF hogs exceed.

Advice to Young Men.

Beware of evil companions. Wait till
you see what is in men before you trust
yourselves 10 them. Do not allow yourself to
he I'D away by appearances. Soft speeches
fiatterins words, a winning manncrs and an
artless way, may all be assumed only the
better TO decoy you. Distrust all those who
would rdicule to You the sancty and asso-
Citations OF home. Have no confidence in any
one who would endeavor to shake your faith
in the Scriptures, or attempt to lead you
away from the observ ,nce If the Sabbath
and the enjoyment of the sanctuary. Do not
permit yourselves to be moved from youl
convictions 10y the swagger or the ridicule o.
any one. Have faith in God, have faith in
yourself, ami cultivate the friendship of those
only who are the friends of Jesus,-Rev. W
