The Young Man and His Society.

A young man just launching into
business should make it point not to
mix with those whom he would be
ashamed of In years to come. There
are many who start in life with good
prospects, and intend To act in good
faith and lead honest and upri ght lives,
and would undoubtedly have done so
had they associated with men OF un-
sullied character, whose names were
above reproach; but no. the pleasures
and frivohties of the other picture they
were unable to understand. Society
can be appropriately termed tempt
ation. If u persons intentions are
good, he would eventually, from be-
ing continually thrown into such com
psny. acquire like habits, and finally
ind himself in such position from
which it would be impossible for him
to extricate himself
Such cases as these are daily Occur
ing in our midst How many of US
know of men who have had golden op-
portunities- who lost wealth.
position and honor through the influ-
ence of immoral society. Look at the
numbers of we'll educated men travel
ing from door to door in search of
food-men who have lost their name
and standing in the world, and have
fallen so low that they lave lost all
shame. We think we have drawn this
picture well enough TO satisfy the
young men that now is the time-now
is their harvest; aud if they fail to take
these advantages they will rue the day
when they did not take the warning in
time.
But if immoral society Is temp
tation to evil courses. the influence OF
proper associates is equally as strong
in the opposite direction. Society may
be temptation of good as we'll as evil.
To young man, who, from any cir
cumstances. may be momentsrily In
clined to turn aside from the paths OF
honor and rectitude. the presence OF an
upright person will act IS q rebuke sEd
save him from falling, while the very
atmosphere of society OF this kind Will
keep his morals uncorrupted, keep his
thoughts far away from the improper
channels, and be moral fence around
him. effectually preventing him, unless
obstinately determined, from going
astray.

done: To get rid of it and allow the
parts to grow together. The first and
indispensable step in every case of
sprain is perfect quietude of the part ;
q single bend OF the joint will retard
what nature has been hours in mend
ing. Children who cannot be kept
still should be kept in bed, and so
with many grown persons. The
"swelling" can be got rid of by band
ages, which in all cases of sprain should
be applaied by skilfnl physician
otherwise modification and loss of
limb may result. A bandage keeps
the joiot still, keeps an excess of blood
from coming to- the part, and by its
pressure causes an absorption of ex-
traneous matter. Another mode of
getting rid of the swelling is to let
cold water run on the part injured for
hours.-[ Journal of Health.

General Grants long absence in Eu-
rope has called attention to his pecu-
mary resources, and to the wealth Of
the Presidents who have preceded him.
General Grant suffered q good many
losses within the latter part of his adj
ministratiOn, but has income enough
probably 10 live modei stely without
annoyance, His children who are
married are able to take care of them
selves, and the younger boys are cer-
tainly bright enough to do it. But this
was not true Of all the Presidents.
Jefferson died rather poor. Congress
purchased his library at a very extrav-
agant price, and without that it is
said he would have found it very diff
cult in the last years of his life to have
aubsisted. Madison saved considera.
BILE money out of his salary, and died
quite rich. Congress gave his widow
$4,000 for his manuscript. James
Monroe died poorer than any other
President. He had absolutely nothing
and was buried by the charity Of his
friends. John Quincy Adams was
always thrifty and prudent, and left
quite fortune. His heirs own con-
siderable property in Washington to.
day. Martin Van Buren, died rich.
He alway kept his eye open for the
main chance, and pinched pennies
very closely. He. spent scarcely any,
thing for politics. Daniel Webster,
although never President, spent . sum
of money which would have been
equal to large fortune, the result Of
his professional labors, and Of his 20.
llt,cal work. He left a little. estate to
his children, amounting to perhaps
twsnty thousand, while he owed his
friends more than quarter of mil,
million. Henry Clay. who was never
rich enough to entertain very much
in, Washington, managed his affairs
very prudently, and left an estate es-
timated at about 100000. Polk, al.
ways economical in Office saved $5O,-
600. John Tyler was a, most thrifty
person in the Presidential Office.
When he entered upon it he was
bankrupt, and he saved, money in it.,
married rich widow and died rich.
Zachary Taylor left perhaps 100000,
Millard Fillmore was wealthy, and left
his heirs considerable sum. g., Ex-
President Pierce died leaving, an es-
tate worth not over $4,000. Buchan-
an left but q moderate fortune. Hayes
is rich, and is saving money on $50,.
