Good Advice to Young Men.

The following, from an exchange, is
true to the letter:
"The most unfortunate day in the ca
reer Of any young man is the day on
which he fancies there is some better
way to make money than to earn it; for
from that feeling spring the many ex-
travasant and visionary plans which are
INDUCED in for the purpose of gaining q
livelihood without labor. When a young
man becomes thoroughly infected with
this feeling, he is ready to adopt any
means for the accomplishment of his
objects, and, if he is foiled in his efforts,
upon the crest of the wave which has
already mounted, and in full view, is
the temptation to crimes, to shield him
from the disgrace which he thinks must
inevitably follow in the wake of defeat.
To those he yields, and the first he re.
Allies he finds himself the violator Of
the law, and a criminal in the eye of the
community, and the inmate Of a prison,
waiting trial, all brought about for the
want Of little manly firmness in the
outset of life to prompt him to choose
an avocation where the penny earned
would bring with it its sure reward"

IT appears to be settled now, through
the researches of Gustave Hansen, that
it is by their antenne that insects are
able to distinguish odors. When the
antenne were coated with parafline o
removed altogether, flies, for instance,
took no notice of tainted meat. But it
does not follow, however, that the all
tenne have no other use.

THE reason alleged in China why
Chinese become Christians on reading
the Bible is that the ink used has a
power to stupefy the reader and take
away his reason, and SO make him ready
to- b4lieve false doctrine. The people
are warned against buying or reading
foreign books. The missionaries are
suspected Of desiring to kidnap Chinese
children to sell them.

We walked back from the church to nv
lodgings, where we were to be domiciled for
the present. He scarcely spoke the whole
way. He left me at the door, saying that he
was obliged to go somewhere, but that he
would return in time for dinner, which was
arranged for three o'clock.
l ran upstairs to my bedroom, my heart
ready to burst with modification, and had a
good cry. My friend did all she could to
console me. and to put cheerful face upon
matters, and after while I rallied little,
and went downstairs and sat down to the
piano and PLAYED and sang to pass away the
time.
Three o'clock came and passed and still he
did not return. Then his friend, who had
remained with US, said he would 60 in search

In about half an hour he came back, bring

we went. There were only four OF us-the
four present at the ceremony. Arnold wa
dull and sullen, aud at times seemed scarcely
conscious Of where he was, for, when ad-
dressed, he would start and look vacantly
about him, like one suddenly aroused from
doze.
1t was two O'Clock in the morning before
we turned our faces homeward. Silently he
pursued his way; and was too proud to
speak. But. oh. the agony, the shame, the
humiliation endured that night! When
we arrived at our lodgings, the fire was out.
It was . very chilly night, and he com.
planned OF being cold, and said he should
rekindle it. While he went away seeking

Several days passed and met him only in
business. His manner was sullen. almost
rude to me, at which was much relieved,
for now began to entertain hopes that he
would prosecute ME no more. The change
that had come over him was a constant SUBJ
ject Of green-rOom comment: he had always
been extremely thin, now he seemed to waste
day by day, like man consumed by an in
ward fire; his cheeks were sunk in deeper
hollOWs, and there were black rims round
his eyes.
After few days my friend returned to
her own lodgings. The next afternoon, at
the usual hour, Arnold came as before.
As soon as the lights were brought in he
again besought me to mesmerize him. I
firmly refused: but I could not rest my eyes
upon him for moment without his face be-
ginning to culver and his pupils to dilate,
aud the very feeling that must not look at
him made the desire almost unconquerable.
Matters went on thus for upward of a
week.
But surely, 1t will be said, you could have
devised some means Of keeping him away;
YOU might have requested your iandlady to
refuse him admittance. Truly, l could have
done so, but-well, l must confess it even in
my own defense-Arnoldh had begun to throw
strange glamour over me; dreaded his
coming, yet experienced vague yearnine
when he was absent. had fallen myself
within the meshes of the spell had uncon-
sciously cast upon him.
One afternoon he arrived rather earlier
than usual; there was certainly some occult
sympathy between US. for the moment he
entered the room felt that q crisis was
come.
He was in very weak health, and he sanh
down in chair looking pale and exhausted
and wiped the damp from his forehead,
while his breathing was very labored; and
there was 3 feverish glitter in the restless
eyes and red spot in each hollow cheek.

PRINCE CHRISTIAN, whose highest claim
for consideration among the English people
is the mere fact that he is the husband of
the Princess Helena, has made a very bad
blunder AS Ranger of Windsor Park, he
offended both Parliament and populace by
neglecting to provide a special place at the
royal review for the members, and further
more added an emphasis to this slight by
furnishing an inclosurc for a club to which
he belongs. Prince Christian has been al
ready styled " Foreigner and a pensioner,"

WE ARE PLEASED to hear that the Hon.
VIM. z. Frye, Of Maine. has been called to
the front to express an opinion on the State
debt of Virginia. Mr.. Frye says:
As TO the State debt. repudiate all re:
pudiation National State, county and
city; but have no confidence in the flnan-
cial integrity of the party known In Nir-
ginia as the Bourbon, and, rs far as that
question is concerned, would sooner trust
The Readjusters.
The above will recall to tho reflective
mind an incident in quite celebrated book,
where the Devil is said to have cnticed our
Lord to the top of mountain, and offered,
on certain conditions, to invest him with n
fee simple of all the acres and building lot
in view. The Devil has frequently been in
strumental in changing the ownership OF
very eligible estates, but the inherent right
of this distinguished parsonage to convey
so much as an onion patch has been legally,
and, we believe, successfully denied. If our
Lord had accepted the terms of this digni-
tary's proposition, the ancient quack opera
tor in real estate would have experienced
some difficulty in making the title good.
The absorbing interest manifested by Mr..
Frye in the payment Of the State debt of
Virginia is just about as deeply founded in
the rules of common sense as the PROPOSE
tion of the Devil alluded to. If Mr.. Frye
can establish his right to feel any personal
interest in the matter of Virginia bonds,
then it will be time for the Old Dominion
to dose herself with valerian enough to en-
able her to stand the shock of his opinion.
We have been informed that Mr.. Frye, like
thousands of other large self-appointed
stockholders in the readjustmcnt problem,
never saw one of the State bonds of Vir-
ginia, and hence never harborcd any of
pure and patriotic purposes, he just allows
himself to fancy how he would feel in
case fortune had endowed him with
property Of this kind, and then assumes
the right to announce what his personal
views on the subject Of his protecting this
property would be- Ofcourse there is no
law against Mr.. Frye, or any one else, in
dulging his leisure moments in these hypo-
thccated cases. 1t simple amuses him to
attitudinize in the role of a bondholder,
and does no great damage to our social and
financial fabric
But we have all along been impressed
with the idea that the two factions entitled
to speak and act on this subject arc the
citizens of Virginia, who owe the debt, and
the parties who bought the bonds. They
are both supposed to be ablc-bodied and
competent to take care of themselves. Out
sders are simply poachers on the domain
which this problem properly covers. We don't
suppose Mr.. Frye will wear Grape very long
if Virginia concludes to scale her debt. He
will not feel financially pinched in conse-
quence, nor would he feel like buying many
yards of bunting in case Virginia pledges
herself to the payment of one hundred cents
on the dollar. These intellectual meddlcrs
| like Mr.. Frye will confer favor on the pub
lie and inhict no damage on themselves il
they mind their own concerns. The valu
able products of his own genial cline, sucf
as North wind, lumber and ice, require some
attention at his hands.
