In particular he takes stand against those
two dogmas which inculcate the hygien-
ic necessity Of rising from bed sleepy
He says, never rise from the table unsat-
isfed; never get out OF bed so long as you
have any inclination TO lie there. And
the Doctors prescription is not only pleas
ant but sensible. II one is 10 rise from
eating hungry, what use is there Of sitting
down at all? And in relation TO early
rising, our sympathies have always been
with the boy, who. when his father at

that rusty old saw about the bird and the
worm, replied that it served the worm
right-hs hadn't any business to get up

author Of the saying that four hours OF
sleep were enough Tor man, five for
woman, six for child, and seven for q
fool, we have always inclined to think
that he was entitled 10 avail himself OF

The old house stands In the silent street,
The same as In other days,
But the many friends was used to meet
Have gone on their different ways.
The button. w ood trees are there, as Of yore,
But their limbs are lenhess aud bare;
glance, as pnss, through the open door,
And mark the winding stair,
And the place where Minnie was wont to hide
In her childish and innocent gleo;
And wonder il where the dead abide


She can ever think Of me.
All little dreamt, when a CARELESS boy,


That those days could ever fly;
That Minnie dear. with her smile Of Joy,


Would once fold her handl and die;
That low in the ehurch.yards grassy mould
They would make 70. her bed; tfol
Though sometimes likened her hairs warn
To glory round her head.
But time has soiiened the griet since then,


And God has been wondrous good,
And wait with patience the moment, when
shall join her beyond the food

This was the exclamation of stout, hear
ty, but lazy young man, the other day.


Now, suppose you had capital-what
would you do with Il Let me tell you, you
have capital. Haven't you got hands and
foet, aud body and muscle, and homo and
brains, and don't you call them capital Oh!
but they are not money, cay you. But they
arc more tbSp money. II you will use
them they will mako money, and nobody
can take thom from you. Don't you know
how to uso tbom: If you don't it is time
you wero learning. Take hold of the FIRST
plough, or hoe, or jack plane, or broad axe
that you can find, and go to work. Your
Capital will soon yield you large interest.
Aye. but there's the rub you don't want to
work, you want money or credit that you
may play tho gentleman and speculate, and
end by playing the vagabond; or you want
a plantation and negroes, that you may hire
an overseer to attond to thom while you
run about over tho country and dissipate
and got in debt or you want to marry somo
very rich girl who may be foolish enough to
take you for your fine clothes and good
looks, that she may support you.


Shame upon you, young man Go 70
work with the capital you have; you will
soon make interest upon 1t, and with it, to
give you ne much money as you want, ana
make you feel like man. If you can't
make money upon what capital you havo,
you couldn't make it if you bad million OF
dollars In money. If you don't know how
to use bone and muscle and brains, you
would not know how to uso gold. If you
let the capital you have lie idle and waste
and rust out, il would be the very samt
thing with you If you had gold; you would
only know how to waste It.


Then don't stand about like great holp
less child, waiting for something to come
and feed you. but 60 to work. Takc the
first work you can find, no matter what il
is, so that you be sure to do it, like Billy
Gray did his drumming-well. Yes, man

can't or won't manage tho capital God hal

THx following excellent advice should
be carefully read and pondered by all
young men: "Neyer make use ofa refined

herself would blush TO hear. When you

THICKER AND MORE OF THEM.-Our city is
getting to be pretty essentially stumped by
the various political parties, and still the
spouting c1otics come. We have not taken
the trouble to count the number of speeches
already delivered and those in store, but we
venture thc assertion that if the time spent
by the listeners were computed at two bits
to the man for each speech, the aggregate
sum would buy very large amount of po-
litical literature that the speakers have no
acquaintance with, and we make the asser-
ton without a venture, that if the crowds
often as they have been addressed, had been
allowed to take nutrition only when their
mouths were open to cheer they would be
on their last legs from starvation.

Walker is reported to have confessed the
injustice of his raid upon Honduras, few
moments before his execution, and declared
himself a Catholic and resigned to die
expressing a hope that his death might be

In the death of William Walker the news
paper press of this State should read les =
son. The editorial fraternity are greatly
to blame in connection with Walker. They
assisted to furnish victims for the immola-
ton in Central America The most un-
truthful reports OF Walkers successes
were scattered over the land broad cast to
lure the young, ardent and ambitions to
the deadly climate of Nicaragua, there to
miserably perish. The truth from the camp
of the fllibusters was pronounced lie by
almost every newspaper in California. We
recollect that with two exceptions besides
ourselves every political editor in the
State was an apologist for the piracy and
murders of Walker in Central America
For one, we deemed the acts of the out
laws a disgrace to the American name,
to say nothing of an outrage on every law
human or divine, and we did not hesitate to
express our feelings openly. For this We
were taken to task by some of our worthy
brethren of the quill, in language not at
all pleasant or refined. The silence of these
same worthless, now that the whole civil
lied world has risen up in condemnation of
the once lauded acts, is ourreward. We are
content.

eye catches the beautiful intervening OBJ

jewel of inestimable value too precious to
be put in jeopardy. No man ever regrets
that he kept aloof from temptation, and to
the close of his life he expresses joy that
he was saved from the path of shame, by
