Maxims for a Young Man.

Never be idle If your hands cannot be
usefully employed, attend to the cultiva-
ton of your mind.
Always speak the truth.
Keep good company or none.
Make few promises.
Live up to your engagements.
Keep your secrets, if you have any.
When you speak to person, look him in
the face.
Good company and good conversation
are the very sinews of virtue.
Good character is above all things else.
Never listen to loose or idle conversa-
ton.
You had better be poisoned in blood
than in your principles.
Your character cannot be essentially
injured except by your own acts.
If anyone speaks evil of you, let your
life be so virtuous that none will believe
him.
Drink no intoxicating liquors.
Ever live, misfortunes excepted, within
your income.
When you retire to bed, think over
what you have done during the day.
Never speak lightly of religion.
Avoid temptation, through fear that
you may not Withstand it.
Make no haste to be rich if you would
prosper. Small and steady gains give
competency with tranquility of mind

Queen victoria's Footman.

In the days when Prince Albert had
come to WOO the Queen of England the
crowd of people who wished to catch a
glimpse of royalty as it promenaded upon
the terrace at Windsor Castle was greatly
increased by reason of the general interest
in the young couple. One day York
shire man who had determined to get a
good look at the Queen, appeared at the
gates by which the spectators were usually
admitted, and thus accosted man, foot
man evidently, who was at the moment
crossing the courtyard:
"Look here, John, Robert, whatever
they call you, COON from the country"
$50 | hear" said the footman.
well, Eve never seen t Queen, and l
want to get a good sight of her. Now,
can't you just let me through them gates,
just afore t rest O. t folks? 1 want to get
a good place, We see."
"Well, sir" said the man, II don't know
whether | dare. | might lose my place,
you see."
Nay, nun, thoun never lose thy place
for such a thing as that. Thou can say to
t Queen that she hasn't gotten more 10y

"Well, come along, then," said the man.
He opened the gate, and the eager York
shireman rushed through. AS he did SO,
an idea seemed to strike him, and he
stopped to tender the footman half
crown.
mo, thank you, sir" said the man, 1--WE
are forbidden to take fees"
take it, mum, take it. Nobody'll
know"
mo, thank you, sir
The YorkshIreman secured foremost
place, and in due time appeared the Queen
and Prince. More than that, Econversing
Familiarity with her Majesty was the foot
man.
"Just look there !" said the country Wis
itor to bystander. "He's a-laughing and
talking to t Queen like everything "
"Who?"
"Why, t chap that opened me the gate
It footman-him with the blue coat and
red collar"
When the listeners laughter would al
low him to speak he explained:

The average reader. who does not know
what sort of thunderbolts are launched
from the Olympus, of which Mr.. Halstead
is the Jupiter, will be grateful to us for
furnishing few specimens thereof. We
have been patiently waiting for the reap
pearance of Mr. Halstead's Chase-letter of
February 10. 1858. and our patience has
been rewarded. Oar readers will wonder,
after reading the extracts we are about to
reproduce from that letter, how Plumb,
Evarts, Farwell. Cullom. aud the rest of
the "kick,ng" Ssna.ols bad the courage to
meet such a man on the battlefield. We
know of no other such letter We read it
several times years ago-say about the
time when Mr. Halstead was making it
hot" for the Republican Senators who had
voted TO leave Senator PAYNE, of Ohio, I'M
disturbed in his seat. H.lstead wrote as
follow:
sour noble Army of the Mississippi is
being wasted by the 70 fish. unken stu
pd Grant. He can't organize OF conrrol
or fight an army. have no personal feel
lug abont it. but know he is an ass.

tired major generals a man who is not
GRANTS 'sunerior. Mcclellan, Fremont,
Mcdowell, Burnside. Franklin, even Pope
or Sumner, would he an improvement up
on the present commander of the Army of
the Mississippi"
So much for Grant. Next he sgoes for
Mr.. Lincoln, and says:
1.-THE army West and East is being
weakened hourly by desertions. 1t is the
great evil The hing needful to stop it Is
for the President to give each commander
nf deDar'ments power to shoot deserters.
They must be shot by the dozen. The
Presidents weak, pulling. pudding human
itarianism is death and hell to the army.
Can't you take him by the throat and
knock his head against wall until be is
brought to his senses on the war business?
do not speak wantonlv when l say there
are persons who would feel that it was do.
ing God service to kill him, if it were not
feared that Hamlin is bigger fool than be
is"
Recollect that this was written, when
war was f14graut, to Mr.. Chase, who was
at that time Secretary of the Treasury I'M
der MIR. Lincoln.
So much for the evils. Now, how were
all these evils to be corrected Mr.. Hal
stead "knew it ALL" and proceeded te an
s1er this qnestion--as follows:
l A general for our Army of the Missis-
sippi.
2. Deserters shot by order of command
ers Of departments.
8. Less dependence upon the niger and
more on the white man.
4 The consolidation of the fragments of
regiments
5. Arrest and try Henry May and Wen
deli Pnillips for treason.
6 Suppress the New York Tribune and
New York World.
We cannot add anything to the richness
of this letter. But We submit that Mr..
Halstead does not write like diplomat.
Imagine, if you can, the epitbets which be
would have hurled at Bismarck if the latter
gentleman bad refused to settle the Samoa
