wrath, and Stephen gave up the ghost.

Ip vain our brethren promised to
erect a false bottomed platform to delude
the heathen with tricks of legerde

Oh, the ""M irrepressible conDid

so hard that gout nor influence
need trouble him no more. They cast
rocks-upon him. The lions roared him.
The eagle " quivered his tail at him in
proud defiance !". . Old Buck shook his
Lorn at him. The nigger shook his
yfio! and laughed at him because the
' rati mauler received more votes from
the Sv'ckers than he did. And one

We shall never bohold ,his coat di ageing

I'here is yet hope of salvation for us.

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

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. I ^.o not condemn thenv
?by their own hands they stand or
fall; but before them I charge Drink

ing more souls to perdition, than almost
all the other vices in the country put
together. And I would appeal to my
brethren if there were any of them here.
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

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.

The hor#es were soon prancing over
lliu turf, and pleasant conversation be- '
guilod the $ay. . _ '
" Now, don't forget your promiso,"
whispered tho young wife, ns she pass- "
ed up ilio steps.
l'oor thing! she was the wife of a
man who loved to look upon the wine
when it is red. 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. Over the dark waters the noble? ?
iteed safely bore them, and when they
cached the bank, the mother asked for 1
lire child.
With much care nnd tenderness he
plnccd the bundle in her arms, but when 1
>ho clasped it to her bosom, no babe 1
sirs there I It hnd slipped from the '
jiauket, and the diunkeii father knew (

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. If you are
utppy at home, you must he happy
dnoad ; the man or woman w ho has
ettlod down upon the conviction that
le or she is attached for life to an untongcnial
yoke fellow, And that there is
10 way of escqpe, has lost life; there is
10 effort too costly to make which can

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."
