To Young Men.
That never'll do, young man! No
use to stand on the sidewalk and whine
about hard luck, and say that every
thing goes against you. You are not
of halt the consequence that your talk
would lead us to believe. The world
hoa*ut declared war against you?no
such thing. You are like all the rest
of us?a mere speck upon the earth's
surface. Wore you this moment to go
down in the living tide, but a bubble
would linger for a moment upon the
snrface, and even that would vanish
unnoticed. The heart is full of hope
and a nbition, but is not missed where
it ceases to beat. One such you
woulu not leave a ripple.
Yon area coward in battle. There's
no light in you. Von have surrendered
without a struggle, and whine because
beaten I You are not worth of a triumph,
for you have not earned it. In
garrent, hut, dripping cellar, are ten
thousand heroes who would put you
to stiarne. lriey musi iuu m e>..w?c.?
The strife is a desperate one with them,
for thcv wrestle with want, while ragged
and despairing ones watch at the
lone hearth the fearful contest. Strong
men look death in the eye, when their
sinews are strung by the wail of hungry
childhood.
Shame on yon. In the full vigor of
health and manhood, no mouth but
your own to fill, and no back but your
own to cover, and yet .crouching under
the first scorchings of adverse fortune*
Yon know nothing oft ho storm, for
you have seen but the summer. One
cloud has frightened you, and you
think you are hardly dealt by. You
will '.X3 lucky if you find no darker
shadows across your path.
Stand up, young sir, pull vonr hands
from yonr pocket, throw off your coat,
and take fortune by the throat. You
may be thrown again and again, but
hang on. Put away the nonsense that
the world is all against you. TaVntso.
Your destiny is in vonr own strong
arm. Wield it like a man ! With an
unbending will, and honor and truth
for a guide, the day is your own.
No capital, eh? You have capital.
God has given you perfect health.?
That is an immense capital to start on.
You havo youth and strength?all invaluable.
Add a will to do ; put your sinows in
motion, and you win. A man in full
health and strength, should never whine
or despair, because fortune docs not
pour a stream of gold eagles into Ins
pocket. If you have no money, work
and get it. Industry, economy, and integrity,
will do wonders. From such
beginnings, fortunes have been reared.
They can bo again. Will you try it ?
Or, will yon wait for the steam to run
by, so that j'ou can walk dry shod into
the El Dorado of wealth ? Or, will
you meet the waves defiantly, and be
the architect of your own fortune ?
Try?It. is glorious to conquer in the
strife.? Cayuga Chief.
The Colportour and Man with a
Jug.
About six years ago a Colporteur of
the American Tract Society was travelling
on horseback through one of the
most mountainous portions of Cherolnflnn
with f..r
tribution and sale. When passing
through a narrow gorge between two
hills, where was scarcely room for more
than one person to pa?s, he met a man
with a j tig. The jttg had no handle,
but was hold by an old, greasy, leathern
string, tied around the neck. The
Colporteur accosted him:
''Good morning, sir, can I soil you
a book r
".No, sir; I have no monoy," was
the reply.
"Where are yon agotug, my friend,
with your jug?"
"lb the still-house, sir."
"Suppose you take the money with
which you propose to buy the whisky,
and 5-iyh gpyd l*x>k,andgohninc without
h.e whisky, and read the book, and
J jV'omfce it will bo the better for yon."
' But, sir, I have no money?I am
get the whiskey 011 credit."
"Well, u?v friend, I will make another
propositi on?I will buy vonr jug
and give von a t>c*>k for it. Von can
then go Louie nnd r?*od your hV?kr

tnent and wonder to all-who saw him,

ine colporteur noaru nothing more
of the man from whom he bought the ,
I jug until this year, during the sitting 1
of the Supreme Court in the county of 1
, C , six years having elapsed. Be- 1
ing at Court, still engaged at the col- '
porteurage tor the Tract Society, he '
was accosted by a gentleman with the 4
inquiry: 4
i "Do you remember trading for a 4
jug, several rears ago, in the hills <
' about here ?"
"I do, sir," replied the colporteur. M
"Yonder," said the gentleman, point-! j
I ing to a sober-looking .nan, "is the man j 4
from whom you bought it. He was at' '
the time you met him a drunkard?M
a pest to society. Now he is a sober i'
man, and has been that way ever since j 1
the day von took the jug away from; 1

I joys religion. lie is industrious and 1
supports his family well; whereas, 1
I while he owned the jug, ho did little!4
| else than make his visits to the still- 1
house, and iill and empty his jug."
The colporteur, feeling some inter- 4
est, inquired of the man how thej1
change was so suddenly wrought on | "
him. "Was it the tract?" "No,".'
said lie, "it was your determination,'
' and the interest that you seemed to '
manifest in my well fare; and, besides *
j this, you took my jug, and that 6et me '
thinking ; then I went home and read
j the tract, and determined, by the help i j
i of God, I would never drink another 1
j drop, and I have been enabled to keep ' 1
; that promise." '

Two Kinds of Riches.
A little boy sat l?v his mother. lie
j looked long at the tire and was silent. <
; When the deep thought passed away, j
j his eye grow bright as he spoke, Moth ! r
| or, I wish I was rich." i
' Why do von wish you were rich, t
my son V The child said. Because 1
every one praises the rich, every one 11
inquires for them. The stranger at1
at our table yesterday asked who was
the richest man in our village. At d
j school there is a boy who does not ?
; learn; he takes no pains to say his ! j]
(lessons well. Sometimes he speaks evil M
words. But the children don't blame ( b
him: for thy say be is a wealthy bov." j
| Tito mother thought the child in t
' danger of believing wealth might take! <
' the place of goodness, as an excuse for I "
indolence, or cause them to bo held in I h
honor who led unworthy lives. So! j
she asked him, "what is it to be rich f" I >
He answered. "I do not know. You ^
tell me now to become rich, that all \
may ask after me and praise inc." I
"To become ricli is to get money.? t
For this you must we it until you be- \
j come a man."
The boy looked sorrowful, and said f
"Is there not 6omo other way of be-' t
coining rich, that I may begin now
i "She answered, the gain of money is 1
not the only nor the true wealth.? >
. Fires may burn it, the floods drown it, <
1 the winds may sweep it away, and <
I moth may eat it, rust waste it, and the t
! robber may make it his prey. Men are
I wearied with the toil of getting it, 1
, but they leave it behind at last. Thev i
( die and carry nothing away. The soul \
ot the richest prince of the earth goeth
forth, liko that of the wayside beggar, ^
without a garment. Those who ]k>s- e
seas it are alwaj's praised by men, but 1
do they receive the praise of God?" i
i "When,' said the boy, "may I be-i t
gin to gather this kind of riches, or j
must I wait till I am a man ? ; t
I The Mother laid her hand upon his t
little head, and said, "To-day, if ye i
will hear his voice; for Tie hath prom- I
i ised that those who seek early shall i i
I find." <
i And the child said, "Teach me how *
T 1 "
x may occonie ricn ocioro tiod." 1
Then she looked tenderly on him
and said. uKneel down every night t
and morning, and ask that you may <
love the Saviour, and trust llim.? 1
j Oboy hi* word, and strive all the days t
! of 3'onr life to he good to all. So,

nft^r I heard tlfe gr^&aermpn
I hat vat played on a harp of 6 tKous*nd
strings) I had occasion to visit a
friend itf tho neighborhood of Fore
Gibson. The next day being Sabbath,
[ accompaninod biui to ZiottUu&pvi.?
A. new minister had been called to that
neighborhood, and this was to be his
salutatory sermon.
Zion Chapel was some hundred
yards away Irom the road, and surrounded
by forest trees. 1 laving arrived
rather too early for service, myself
and friend sauntered about the
svoods, rather actively employed in
brushing away the mosquitoes that
surrOnnued us. At length a strange
specimen of the genu# homo made bis
jpnearance on horseback: it was broth
sr Crawford.
Ilia dress was decidedly pecular.?
On his head lie wore an old fashioned
liell-crownud befvor, several sizes too
urge. To remedy this defect a cotton
jandana handkerchief was stuffed between
the hat and forehead, llis coat
was of a most ancient pattern; blue,
with brass buttons, short waist, and
ong swallow. The collar cAino within
in inch of biding the back part of bis
lead. His ve6t was extremely long,
uid his pants ditto 6bort. The latter
were held down by leather straps passed
under a huge pair of brogans of an
in tanned lcalner color. Altogether,
lis presence strongly suggested Dan
Vlarbel in 1'is Yankee character ofjonahan
Homespun. But to tlio sermon
?or at least a portion of it, for it was
ittcrly impossible to report the whole.
The congregation was large, as it
iad been "unrated" ubioad that a new
ervant of the Lord was about to make
lis debut at /ion.
Brother Crawford 'link into the J
nilpit with more that ordinary humiltv.
and after devoting a few minutes
o silent prayer, he rose.
Gingerly pushing up the sleeves of
lis store coat, whereby he displayed a
>airof large, long, bony hands of a beeted
color, he grasped an oai'thern pitch;r
and pt Aired into a tin cup a draught
>t water which he drunk with inhmta>le
gusto.
Ilis annearance in the imluit wna1

itudy lor an artist. His lace was long
ind lank, eye pale grey, nose aquiline,
omnlexion sandy, hair greyish sandy, I
ieau bald on the top, with the exeepion
of a small patch on orgau of rever ncc,
as if to shade it, and altogether!
he picture of Greely whilst inditing a
"Yeesoil Abolition doeuinent for the
lenelit of his Southern subscribers.
He began apologetically n9 follows:
"You don't see me to-day in the
Iress I alters wear; I come among vou
s a stranger, and I am now tricked out
ii my store clothes. I am not a proud
lan, but I thought it would be more
econiing before strangers.
After this lie raised a hymn in which
he congregation joined. lLe then bepm
this sermon.
"My dear brethern and sisters, first1
ind foremost Yin now gwino to tell
'on about the affecting partin' I had
vith my congregation at l>othel Chapel.
Vrter 1 had got through with my fareveil

bid nnder my ministry?with tears

As I passed along down the highway,

on the leaves and branches, the burlen
of salvation, it, too, seemed to say
?Farewell brother Craffordl
Crossing a little creek that was gurgling
and singing over Its pebbly bod,

home and tells his wife what had
happened, saying ho got into a scrape
and did not know how to extricate

I can manage it." The next clay the
countryman called, and inquiring after
his cousin, is told that he was that

"Ami in what time is he expected

"In seven or eight days."
