Letters to Young ^Farmers. Yqunq MK,n OF THC Fakm?We would speak in this letter of your occupation. It is an important inaUer with t young man to decide upon an occupation. Very early tbe question comes .0 every vouug man of energy and sbaractcr, ' What shall I do F' To Answer this question well, is to start well a career; is to insure success; is to . letermine arhat one is end can best ecxunplish. Few young men can do anything or everything that may offer, equally well. We all have our peculiarities of talent and taste?our special gifts. These qualify us for special callings. Borne lueo are born to be mechanics ; ethers to be artists ; others to be teachers ; others to l?o orators ; othBrs traders ; others farmers. Kech will do best in the sphere to which lie is beet adapted m mental and physical or-' ganbmtion. A man born to be a farmer Would not make a good artist; nor wquld one born to be a teacher or roe cbftnic, be likely to make a grod farm er. lSut every man it made for some thiug \ Lie hat a place to work ; be fills iip a niche in lh$ great temple of humanity. Tp find Witt place and work well in itvk to win a victory in lite. Da ftot thing with young men is to find this place. And a most imjx>rtant thing it V' Many a man is utterly spoiled by being put out of his place. M?ny a c ood farmer it tpoiied by tryIng to ~ao something else. _ I>ot every young man understand, that tie it for something, 't here is a place for him somewhere. lie most not be a do-little, p, drone, a teach on society ; he mutt be man io hit place ; do a man's work, eeanny a man's position, and secure a man's respect. This ean be done-easily 1 if he gels into the right plsoe. A maw's occupation is the harness in ,lfhieh he -works. If he has on the1 right harness, he wjll not ohaft and fret. Ha trill ?t In have An nn jtisrn?a -? at). He Will fool himself free?at homo 1-in bis natural clement. But if he veers * harners made for another, it wWl gall him, worry him, annoy him continually, unless he baa an unusually good disposition. Set how is ft with young farmers f Is there wot a nroncness to imagine Iheweehree-tnsde for some other occu pa lien than that to which they aro reared ! Are they not wont to fhocy they were made for merchants, artists, lawyers, doctors, politicians, or something else than that which they already know well how to do t IIow many young farmer* are longing to get into the city, as though cities were Edens for humanity. How many leain to hate their coutitry homes, and crave the pes lifer ous life of a city ; to hato their legitimate occupation, and crave some dandy's place behind the counter or desk. Foolish young men 1 Every city is a hot house of wretchednoss and (oil. It is a rotten fungus on the body of humanity. 11 is full of disease and pain. To live in one and not bo corrupted, is to run the gauntlet of ono's life. To engage in its occupations is to risk one's highest happiness and good. Every ci'y is crowded to suffocation with anxious and ambitions young men," When the whole country is yearning for their toil and talent, they huddle together in cities to breed corruption and luin. Many ^oung men mistake their talents (urougn a vain uesiro to shtnu in llio gaudy pageant of a city. The}' often , fancy their hands are too soft for liaidy labor on the farm, when the real fact is, their heads aro too soft to understand their best good. Soft hands and soft heads generally go together. It is" the j hnne of our age that men crave so much j the sickly shams and shows of city life. ] Firr liealtnier, far happier, far more useful is a well-spent country life. Let the i young men of the country cense this < insane craving for city lifo and voca- i tions. Let them cling to their farms, and try their tastes and talents on them. Hy far the greater number of young men are best fitted for fanners; espe oially so, now that farming ia taking on so many characters. The stock farm, the grain farm, the fruit farm, the vine yard, the garden, the nursery, the landscape garden, agricultural architecture and ornament?all theso afford .special fields for taste and talent. Nowhere are there richer fields for young minds and hands to enter, than in the teeming departments of agriculture. The mechanic and artist hv nature, can find employment here. The best talent of any country or Hge can be nobly employed in any ."branch of tlio agricultural inl/>rr??t T.nl llio vnm./? ??VV J VMII^ II1CII \?l IIIU farm consider well llieir course before they decide to leave the fariu or any, other vocation. Temperance Appeal. I was visiting to day, and 1 hold in niy hand a letter wFilten by a dying man. His home, three years ago, was one of the happiest, sweetest, tidiest and most comfortable homes of any working man iu Edinburgh. lie is now dying of consumption, his life is draining away, his cheek is hollow, his eye is prominent, his voice sepulchral. Thcie he lies on his dying bed. When I first weut to see lriin, beside him lay a child of three years old,.which was lifted out of the bed beside him hy his mother. Of all the pitiablo objects 1 ever looked on. it was one of the most touching. Its limbs rih! arms were re- t luceil to skin and bone. Its ankles i were bandaged up with scrofulous sores, c and its mouth was drawn together. It i bad the sweetest face I almost ever saw. I There was the dying husband, and i there was the dying child, and there < was a woman?three years ago as re- speclnblc, gentle-like, and 1 know as ] kind, tender, loving a mother as was in t all Kdiuburgh. And six days ago the 1 missionary of the district was heard to i aav that that woman had smitten her i dying husband, and was like to kill her 1 child ; ar.d I went there this day, and i with the tears falling on the face of that poor young corpse, I gave God i thanks the child was dead. On the Sab < bath inoining tho gray dawn looked in .( upon n room, and what saw it there? A < mother lying in the l?cd, (be pillow where that chilil was liing stained with i its life-blood?the child dead %nd the < mother' dead drunk?and with that ? poor little infant corpse before her but i vesterda) ?T think that scene as I told I Iter, might have sobered a hnehanalian 1 ?she took a chair and hurled it at I her h&kband, the dying man, far gone in consumption. Can men see that, I and' go quietly back to their workt i May all the curses of a gracious heaven be flpon that vice. May Ood blast i that tiee that can produce such scenes of i misery in this world. 1 detested drink- i ing before, I detest it ten times more 11 now. And how ministers of the gospel?how Christian elders, in the fhco of this vice, can go on with their indulgences, is a mystery to me; I cannot understand it.

You are no better of It?you. are the worae of it. It does your tody no geod ?it is, 1 believe, the mightiest agent the devil ever invented to ruin aoula. I call upon them, as I did last time I was here, on their kneea, over their Bibles, with the example of Christ before them, to consider this question ; and 1 am certain if they do so iu the right spirit, they will ooaaa to a right conclusion.. They will do what 1 have done, aad I have never regretted it, and I know I 1 will regret it, by giving myself j heart and hand to this cause, until by GodV Weaning we triumph.?Dr. Guthrie before the Scotch Temperance League. A ' Husband and Father. A yuung man and his wife were preparing to attend a Christmas party at the house of a fiiend sorno miles dis taut. 44 Henry, my dear husband, don't drink too modi at the party to-day ; you will promise me, won't you ?" said she, putting htr hand upon his brow, and raising her eyes to his face with a pleading glance. 44 No, Millie, I will not; you may irusi uie."

Hut his Iovo for his wife and babe, whom they both idol ' ized, kept him back, and it was not often that ho joined in tho bacchanalian 1 revels. The party passed off pleasantly, the time for departing drew near, and the 1 wifo descended from the upper chamber to join hor husband. A pang shot through tho trusting heart as she met him, for he was intoxicated?he had broken his promise. Silently they rode homeward, save < when the drunken man would break into snatches of song, or unmeaning ' a tighter. Bui the wife rode on, her 1 >hi>o pressed closely on her grieved 1 mart. ... < " Give me tho babe, Millie; I can't " rust you with him," said he, na they x ipproac-lied r daik nnd swollen stream, ^ which I hey had to ford. After some hesitation, she resigned ? rer lirst-born, her drilling babe, closely ( ,vrapped in the great blanket, to his " n ins.

Lead me, O, Lord, in thy righteousness, because of my enemies ; make tby way straight bcfyio wj face, d, On Marriage. I supposo there is a modicum of ro mance id most natures, and that if ii gather about any event it is that of mar riage. Most people marry their ideals There is more or lees fictitious and fala cious glory resting opon the head o even* bride, which the inchoate hus band believes in. Most men and wo men manufacture perfection in theii mates by a happy process of their irong inations, nnd then marry them. This, of course, wears nwar. By the time the husband has'seen his wife eat heartily of pork and beans, nnd, with her hair frizzled and her oldest dress on, full of the enterprise of overhauling things, he sees that she belongs to the same race as himself. And she, when her husband gets up croM in the morning, and undertakes to shave himself with cold water and a dull rnaor, while bis suspenders dangle at bis heels, begins to see that man is a very prosaic animal. In other words, there is Mich a tiling as a honeymoon, of longer or shorter duration ; and while the moonshine lasts, the radiance of the reventh heaven cannot compare with it. It is a very delicious little delirium?a felnile mental disease?which like ftieasless never conies again. When the hone>moon passes away, retting behind dull mounting, or, dip ping silently into the stormy sea of life the trying hour of marriage life has come. Iletwcen the parties there art no more illusions. The feverish desire of possession has gone?vanished into gratification?and all excitement has receded. Then begins, or should begin, [he business of adaptation. If they find hat they do not lore ono another as hey thought they did, tjioy should louujcineir assiduous attentions to ono mother, ami bo jealous of every tiling vliich tends in the slightest degree to eparate them. Life is too precious to >e thrown away in secret regret, or open liflerences. And let mo say to every me to whom the romance of life has fled, ind who arc discontented in the slight:sl degree with their condition and reations, begin this work of reconcilinion before you are a day older. ltenew tho attentions of early days. Draw your hearts close together. Talk ihe thing all over. Acknowledge your faults to one another, and determine hat lieccforth you will be aJl in all to :ach other; and my word for it, you diall find in your relation the sweetest ioy earth has for you. There is uo ither way for you to do.

M o 11 a l Kortvnk Telling.?Despica ble as tlie practice which goes by the 1 name of fortutte-telling is, we believe there is a kind of fortune telliug which is not only'possible, but easily practised upon correct principles. Thus to be f gin with the young, when we ace a ' child obedient to his or her par<*nts, or teachers, or. any ono elae towards whom r the subordinate relation has become ne cessary, we have no hesitation in prei dieting thai good fortnno will accom- ' 1 panv such a child into early manhood or womanhood, and ensure a fair start in adult life. If the case be that of an i honest, energetic young man, who has ' successfully advanced fioin the position > of apprentice and journeyman into that ' of a roaster mechanic or boss, we can tell his fortune without much difficulty. 1 So with those who have clioae a profession as the means cf livelihood. Let us see how they conduct their business.? If they do this intelligently, industriously, and honestly, at the start, they will be very apt to continue to do so, and success will be sure in the long run.? I Unprincipled men, in tlio same lir.e, 1 may get ahead of them at tho begin-| uing, but they wHl hue best in the end, and so illustrate the truth of the maxim, that honesty is the best policy. We i will confess that we arc no fortune-teller, if it docs not so turn out. ' Woman.?Perhaps a more just and ! beautiful compliment was never paid to woman than the following, by Judge Story : " To the honor, to the eternal honor of the sex, bo it said, thai in liie path i of duty, no sacrifice with them is too i high or too dear. Nothing with them i is impossible, but to think frem what love, honor, innocenco and religion re- ( quires. The voice of pleasure or of power may ptfca unheeded?but the voice of afllicliou never. The chamber of the j sick, the pillow of the dying, the vigils of the dead, the altais of religion, never missed the presence of the sympathies t of woman. Timid though she be, and i so delicate that the winds of lleaven ? may oft loo roughly visit her, on such ' occasions she loses all sense of danger, and assumes a preternatural courage, 1 1 - ' muicu Knows noi ieniB nor couse3uences. Then she displays that unnunted spirit which neither courts difficulties or evades thein ; that resigna tion which neither murmurs or regrets; and that patience in suffering which 1 seems victorious over death itself." | ^ | < Tub true gentleman is God's servant, ' the world's master, and his own man ; virtue- is his business, study his rccrea- i tion, contentment his rest, and liappi- I ness his reward ; God is his father, the ' Church is his mother, the saints his * brethren ; all that need him his friends ; devotion is his chaplain, charity his j chamberlain ; sobriety his butler, torn- , perance his cook, hospitality his house t keeper, Providence hii steward, charity , his treasure, piety his mistress of the house, and discretion ins porter, to let him in or out as most fit. Thus is his ' whole family made up of virtues, and ' be is the true master of the house. lie 1 is necessitated to take the world on iris 1 I way to heaven ; but be walks through it as fast as he can, and all his business by the way is to make himself and others happy.
