"I conjure^ou, O youth 1" says Coleridge, '-Hirn %wtt' from those who live in the foo'Ji-jfit between vice and virtue"?-a remark as sensible as it is striking. There are these in every comninnity, whose aim it scouts tb be, to livo us near as possible to the boundary lino betweetfMlrtuo and vice.? They are not ojwfly immoral, nor, on the other hand, is their virtue unquestioned and unimpeachable. They are constantly Hitting from one Bide of tlio lino to the other, and seem determined to keep on neighborly terms with both tho good and the evil forces which it separates, or, at least, to preserve a strict neutrality between them. It would seem to bo their purpose, to ascertain the minimum of evil, which a man may shoulder, without losing his respectability among his fellows. But 110 one can live long in tffli "twilight between vice and virtue," without haVmg his moral perceptions ?ti|cojMM|nna his finer sensibilities bltmtfed. * He who straddles two hobbies at once, is pretty sure to fall bcwcen them ; and so it is with tho man vho trips to walk two ways at the aine time. It is an experiment which 10 one may safely try, ibr any considerable period. The would-be "neutral" gradually sinks doeper and deeper in hemorass of immorality, and his down* /ard course is only tho more certain, >ecauss impcreeptjb'e to himself.? .'ho transition from twilight to darkess may bo slow, but it is inevitable. Lot those who are forming their charcter, see to it that their standard is etfar above the line of separation bcween virtue and vice. There is too inch "easy virtue" in the world, and ltogether too little firm, fixed, lofty rinciple. To make ourselves fnmilinr *ith evil, is to temper with tcmptaon. "We first emlnre, then pity, then embrace." We ought to avoid even the appearnco of evil; but how can wp do this, 'we always linger on the confines of >rbidden ground, or keep so far in the ear of the standard of duty that the orld can hardly tell to which side we elong. How much better it is to void the twilight regions, and aim at bold, -vigorous, decided and manly norality. E'cw England Farmer. A Romarkablo Man. There is a gentleman residing in this city, who came here twenty-three years ago from England, and brought with . him eotno three hundred guineas Of his own hard earning, with which he '.onimcnced as a grocer on a small scale. Little by little lie increased bis trade, and at the present time he is probably worth more than any other man in Massachusetts in the same line of business. During the period of twenty-three years, he never gave a note of hand or tock one; he never sued a man and was never sued him^.self; nor ever called on to the witness IK stand in any court during the whole period. JIo was never naturalized, ana ot course never voted, although he has paid thousands of dollars for State and county taxes. 1 le has been known to buy a cargo of West India goods, amounting to $90,000, for which he paid cash on delivery. 1 le never deals in or drinks intoxicating liquors; never gave a dollar for charitable purposes where he thinks his name will appear in the newspapers, although he lias distributed thousands to the distressed of his fellow men. Can such another man bo found in this or any other country ??Boston Times. Enomsii and America;; L yuohkbs. Place the small yeoman or farm-iuborer of England by the side of the samel class in America, and the contrast is great. The coarse, heavy clothes, the slouching, lumbering walk, rough B speecn and lifeless stolidity of the one dp ^ot appear in sv favorable light by 11 the aide of the slim, active, light-clothed, intelligent, inquisitive and somewhat restless American. I have often sighed to think that the figure before, me, clad in fustian shooting-cent, plush waistcoat. J-nfto. brooches, < titers and half-boots', Jivith a hundred weight .of! iron on the solos, was a fair speciijieh ! of the jjMtali 44.i-jwV material.'? Thpsc who have been iir^Tmcnca, will, I am i sure, ngroe with me in this. ASfeenotj ing a little higher in the social scale, there is less to reform, and there is less superiority.

Among! professional men there is not much difference. Education rubs down the salient angels everywhere; but J almost incline to think thnt in this class the scale would turn tlie other way. ileally good society is not of access fo A traveler in the fr;iit ci jfitatcs. Jlej must not only tuiuo well re nuinended, but must llh^r-long upOrt his road.

Ilerc areflb. gaimrlaws, and in consequence no poachers, and as a further consequence, no regiments of keepers and watchers to be maintained, nor any pheasants to destroy the crops. There is no hunting, and consequently no need for a squadron of light horse under the names of mounted grooms, huntsmen and whinners in, nor for a menagerie of dogs, who devour oatmeal ana bis cnit enough to feed a whole* parish. What on earth, then, can a man of fortune do with his money but turn pubhe benefactor ? He has not even the last and dearest weakness of an Englishman, the wish to found a family that shall last forever. So if he do not like his heirs particularly, he may just as well leave his money to found a college.-^;!glish Writer. Tamarinds. ? The New England Farmer savs the tamarind has been grown in Virginia from seeds, and is highly spoken of as promising to be a valuable acquisition to our fruit trees, especially dh the prairie lands of the \\ est. Its growth is rapid, its appearance very ornamental, and it is perfectly free from blight and from % tho depredations of Insects. Last season the trees in Virginia produced fruit as good i\8 the imported. " ieti? Amputation* We don't know when we have been more shocked than in perusing the following. It occurred in St. Laurence county, in this State, and is given of? the authority "of a gentleman of undoubted veracity." "A young man addicted to intemperate, habits, during one of his periodical "sprees" took a sudden notion to pay a visit to his "sweetheart." On the evening flluded to the young lady and a female associate were the only occupants of the house where she resided. "About ten o'clock in the evening tl;e yotmg man arrived at the house considerably worse from the use of "beverages." Ilis strange manner in approaching the door, excited the suspicion of uio young ladies, who supposed the house was attacked by roobers. lie knocked at the door and demanded admission; but his voice not being recognized from the thickness of Ids tongue, the ladies refused to comply with the demand. Determined to force an entrance, he I commenced a series of assaults upon the barred and bolted door by knocking and pounding. Alter a number of desperate kicks, the pannel .of the door gave way, and the leir of the be j sciger went through the aperture, and ; was immediately seized by one of the ladies and firmly held, while the othi or, armed with a saw, commenced the ! work of amputation. 'The grasp was firmly maintained, j and the saw vigorously plied until the leg was completely served from the body" With the loss of his leg the intox! icated wretch fell upon his back, and J in that condition lay the romainder of 1 the night. "In the mean time the ladies were ! tr^L'toned almost to death. With the [dawn of morning the revelation was j made that onoof the iad'es had participated in the amputation of the log of her lover! The wretched man was still alive.? II is friends were immediately sent for, and ho was conveyed to his home, where, with proper attention, he gradually and miraculously recovered, and is now alive and well. "Wo herdly credited," says the editor of the journal from which wo quote, "the latter^mrt of tho story, . in i-.uni;iuuuu iinn iirj man must have bled to death on the spot, insisting, int deed, that it could not be otherwise,? I lint were mistaken. "The leg was a wooden one."?Harper h Magazine. A Joke.?A hungry Irishman, Jfttelv in ,4<^ndon, mistaking a barber's shop for'an eating house, bolted in and bog^e*t to be8erved.

By some means the Parson?old Barson Allen got wind of this unusual prac tieo of I armor Hodges, which jrtdsed ^hi8 ire in a wonderful degree, Pway,'tlie parson always had grilled bacon for breakfast, and boasted that he had not missed one day forty years. L "Flip before breakfast," saia the parson, holding up both hands, as his informant related the astonishing news. " Flip before breakfast 1 why, what can the m$n mean ? He'll die a drunkard, sure as fate! I must see brother Hodges, and expostulate with him." Next mornimr. bricht and oarlv. the o' o ~r~ " J' . parson posted over to Hodges, and caught that worthy in the very act o^ making the flip. "Do you know," said the parson, "do you know that you're a dead man?will die a drunkard, as sure as you stand there tasting that flip?" " Why, what's the case now," replied Ilodges. " Case 1" cried the enraged parson, "case enough I should think! Why do ye drink that flip overy morning before breakfast ?" "Invariably," replied Ilodges, coolly sipping the critter.' "Invariably!" shouted the parson, then you'll die a drunkard, sure 1" " Maybe, and tlien again maybo not," said Hodges, giving the contents I of his mug a fresh stir. " How d'ye 'rive at such a conclusion, parson?" " Becausfc," cried Parson Allen, " I never knew a man to drink flip before | breakfast who did not die a drunkard !" UN " That ali may be," replied Houges, warming up a little " that all may be, parson, but I dop't believe that because a man drinks flip before breakfast it is any mqresfgn that he will die a drunkard, tha Mat a man will dieta hog be cuuik: 110 em# oucon lor oreuktast every morning.

Thd parson 4 mizzl^fl.'* Educat^p jHMHrprocious youth, in fo^rnBRi Massachusetts, Hr<4 arrived at tlw nge of nine years, when his father fentj him to school.? lie stood beside the teacher to repeat the letters of the alphabet.

Why crotch all hemlock 1 gosh a mighty! think I don't know!" No Soi.dikr.?In addressing a jury upon one occasion, the celebrated Mr. Jeffrey found it necessary to make free with the character of a military officer who was present during the wholo harangue. Upon hoaring himself several wiipa nuuncit ui ua " me souiier," me son of Mars, boiling with indignation, interrupted the pleader: " Don't call mc a soldier, sir; I am an officer." Mr. Jeffrey immediately went on : u Well, gentlemen, this officer, who is no soldier, was the sole cause of the mischief that has occurred." Tiie National Gaud in Russia.?It is stated that, according to the Russian law, every nobleman and civil functionary, from tho highest to the lowest grade, wears a uniform. This custom was, until recontly, in the fashion of a dress coat, with standing collar and embroidery. A late ukase has, however, changed this foreign habit habille into the ohl national kaftan, or long frock and h?08o trousers, much bettor suited to the ciini^fo. The German papers say that this change iu? boon received with intense satisfaction. All classes, even from childhood upward, in St. Petersburg, Moscow, and the other cities, fling aside with dirgnst every article of Western manufacture, and adopt the newly, creatod national garb of looso trousers and easy jacket of groy cloth, with green collar and cross upon the breast. Hatred will thus go down and passing from siro to son, penetrate the fibres of tho heart, ang faculties of the mind.

But three or four applications are necessary to curl it as much as may be desired, and for any length of time.
