William Sardam's Letter.

Editor News:-I have felt for some time that I ought to write to you about our temperance work in Clayton, which place being situated on the line of the two states makes it of as much import ance to North Canaan as though it was all in Connecticut.
 We commenced with circulating the pledge in the fore part of April last and began our regular meetings, which have been kept up ever since with gradual increase of our members and which now number about 80 persons.

Wild Oats.
ForaDGrd.

ForaDard.
They who SOW wild oats will reap
wild oats. Our young people do not
believe this, but it is true, whether it
be believed or not
Boys often begin this sowing at an
early age, without any thought of the
reaping. They have an idea that it is
"spoony" to be "good;" that it is
"soit" to be careful to keep clear of
all that is wrong; that it is manly to
chew, to swear and to swagger; that
it is "smart" to be careless as TO what
parents and teachers wish.
Young men fancy that they are
proving their independence by stay>
ing away from the Bible class and
throwing out doubts about Christiani-
ty. They pride themselves on being
''out of leading-strings," on their
ability to choose their own COM
pany, and to judge tor themselves
how they will spend their evenings
and where they will pass their Sab>
bath. Their noses take an upward
curl at the mention Of the "pious
young men" who hold on TO Sunday
school and prayer>meeting. They
have gotten beyond this!
Now, in their heart they know
that ''the saints" are right and they
themselves wrong. They have no
idea of going on in the neglect of
God and religion all their lives,
they expect to have "a good Time"
while young and later in life to turn
lovefn new leaf, and 10 come out all
right at the end. They are sowing
their wild oats.
But who is to reap what. they are
sowing? And what will the harvest
be?
whatsoever man soweth that
shall he also reap"
Character is forming. 1t is formed
in youth. Men at thirty and forty
are commonly what they are at twen-
ty, only ripened and hardened; aud
at twenty they are apt to be
what they were at fifteen, only more
set. From the quarries that are dug
under Jerusalem fine creamy lime
stone is cut that is soft to the knife
or chisel when first taken out, but
that hardens into solid rock when
exposed to the air. So it is with us.
In youth we readily take shape under
the influences which we invoke; in
manhood we find our characters are
set. We stamp our souls while
young and plastic with the impress
that they are to bear in after life.
Let our young men understand that
sowing wild oats in youth means a
harvest of sorr ~ anu sin. Even if
repented ot, the old seeds are there,
to be fought and bewailed as long
as life lasts. Beuter-tar better is
it never TO sow seeds of evil. No
man ever regretted that he began
to serve God IN his youth.

A Leading Measure.
'II.n in Macon Beacon. !

"H." in Macon Beacon.
The question of an amendment to the
Constitution of the State making judi
eial officers elective, instead of appoin-
tive as at present, will in all probability
be q leading measure before the next
Legislature. And it will be well for
those who aspire to legislative honors to
make up their minds how they will
stand on the subject before they come
before the people; for they are likely
to be called upon to define their posi-
ton. We have long thought that it was
not consistent with true republicanism
for the people to elect the officers of two
grand divisions Of the goyernment-Leg-
islative and Executive-and require
those of the third to be appointed by
the Governor.
