The Editor of the Chicago Democrat as requested mc to preach from the fol)wmg: Go it while you're young, For when you're old you can't My hearers?the old proverb says,? Train up a child in the way he should o, and when he is old he will not depart om it," but this modernized, reads, Train up a child in the way he would go, nd before tee'be old he will go it." Yes iy friends there is no mistake about it?

My dear children go it while you are )ung. but be careful how you go it. Lie nvn and roll over as much as you please jon the perfumed beds of indulgence, it mind and not roll into the brambles of .'erlasting misery. Kick up your heels ong the gay walks of Pleasure, but don't ush the tender buds of virtue, beneath )ur careless tread; and, above all don't in so swiftly as to produce combustion "morality?for when that spiritual esnce is once destroyed, you are just as rely done up and bursted as though you ere obliged to borrow a shirt to keep up )pearanccs. Drink deep from the cup ' rational enjoyment, but shun the ineiating bowl as you would the small pox the double width me sles. Don't mcde with it, my young friends ?for when >u once get your sucker in, you will have scorched before you can get it out? air fine sympathies crisped to sindcrs? >d your reputation blasted forever. In ! *4 11 J i _. . i * spini 01 rnuuness, mercy ana mouesiy, warn you against that worst of all vices, unbling. It is of the devil to entice you to his slaughter house. It induces you lie, cheat, and indulge in profane lanlage; and it moreover offers you an intation to get your living by other means an those prescribed in the golden decague of honest industry. Be careful, alhow you go it in your approximations wards the female sex. Let your love i of the purest and most exalted nature, stead of hankering after the flesh, you ' ight to have your affections placed on ose heavenly virtues with which it is I jff,>d?for it is the stuffing alone that 1 mtains the true spicc of reciprocal love. 1 Go it young man now in the days of 1 >ur youth! Revel in the sweets of cn- ' yment while Fancy'sflowers are in their ' llest bloom?while pinions of hope { 'oop not in the cold storms of adversity hile the sun of ambition still shines ud- ' i the far distant summit of fame. Let ' >ur heart abound with cheer?banish evy suicidal thought from your mind?and t the soul surfeit upon the luxuries of ental bliss; but while you are partaking these bounties you must try, young , end to lay up a portion of them to feast J ion when you become old and no longer t ile to go it with that looseness with bich you are now privileged. The time t ill come when the sweetest soup of life I ill taste as insipid as dish water?when ery lump of joy will lose its seasoning when your bread of hope won't rise for * int of leaven?and when like a dried r sling, you will have grown so stiff and r 1 that you cant bend without cracking. My dear friends?when you arc old you n't go it any more than a broken down me horse; and if you don't enjoy yourself . iile you feed upon the oats of youthful a ticipation, you will find out that you can |ver do it when you come to graze in the rren pasture of age?if I compare you horses, my respected hearers, 1 trust a u will forgive the comparison, inasmuch t the mortal part of man is snhinr.f to fl e same decay which horse flesh is heir v Yes, the juice of our bodies become 9 ied in autumnal winds of age?our arts are robbed of all their former de[hts?^nd the jewels that remain in the sket of memory, although, pure and ? illiant, are hardly worth cherishing, con- t S - . V : ^ : ; - sidenng that the little comfort they give is so overspread with mustard of regret. When our heads grow grey with age a sort of greyncss comes over the landscape of existence, and forbidding glooms succeeds. Then we dont care about going it as we did once, lest we might accidentally bump our noses against the tomb, and perhaps kneel up f jr all night;, and if we should like to cut a caper and spend a copper, our wishes could never be gratified. Therefore go it yirhile you are young, in all that is rational.and becoming before the evil days draw high in which you shall say, I haven pleasure but in the prospect of heaved, and no hope but that which is eternal. So mote it bel Dow, Jr. PLAN TO REMOVE STUMPS. The following simple and efficient plan to remove Stumps is copied from the Western Fanner and Gardener for the present month. To any farmer who is annoyed with these incumbrances (and most of the farmers in this region have fhcm in ahnnHanr^ ftiio ehnrt nara<rrnnh %,w4vv/ w , is worth a year's subscription to a newspaper, ten times over. There is scarce a stump or brush 'o be seen on my farm, except some very handsome shade trees purposely left for sheltering the cattle in the heat of summer. The removal of these stumps has been accomplished by a very simple and economical process, which I will attempt to describe, in the hope that it may be beneficial to those who have their lands encumbered with trees and stumps. Procure a dry red elm lever, about twenty feet long, and about six to eight inches in diameter?a good stout log chain, with two vokes of oxen, this is all the rnaehinerv that is necessary. The mode of operation is thus; wrap the log chain round the stump a little above the ground, and make what is called a log hitch; 'ay the lever horizontally on the ground, the large end next to the chain and against the stump; make the other end of the chain fast to this end of the lever; drawing the lever tight against the stump; the cattle are hitched to the small end of the lever, and and driven around the stump in a circle, of which the lever is the radius. One revolution of the oxen around the stump will generally twist out the largest of them; but should not the power thus applied be sufficient to move the stump the side roots may be uncovered and cut partly off; after this is done, the stump will be easily removed. You will find this plan much preferable to any "patent stump extractor that you may have seen puffed in the papers. D. L. CALIFORNIA WHEAT. A gentleman from Spartanburg, S. C. call* d at our Office this morning, with a few heads of California Wheat. It is the firs; time that we have had the opportunity of seeing any of that curious grain, about which there has of late been so much said and written. Whether this Wheat, like the Baden Corn, Mortis tMullicaulis and Durham Stork, and other new experiments made in this country will pr >ve a humbug, is a fiuesti >n we dont nretetid to divine.? The heads we saw, (one of which the gentleman had the kindness to leave with us,) has a leading stem about six inches in length, thickly set with grain, with twelve branches, six on each side, somewhat shorter than the main head, thickly set also with well filled grain. Ft is said that some of the largest heads will number 2S0. grains, and that an average crop will number about 180 to the head. As we retained one of the heads, and intend making in experiment, we hope that twelve months rrom this time we will be able to give our readers a belter idea of its excellence.

A Touching and Beautiful Incident. , -We know not when we have per ?~d a < no re touching and beautiful little story, , bfih the following -from the Hartford { v fi >?/ jnfflS Courant: It was but yesterday that friend?a young gentleman of line ititcl leel, of a noble hear', and one wef known to many of our readers?was Slid denly snatched by the hand of death fron all the endearments of life. Surrounde( by every thing that could make existence pleasant and happy?a wife that idolize! him?children that loved him as they null can love, and friends devoted to hiiri?tht ; summons came, and he lay up >n the bed of dratj^jp But a few short years ago, she to whom he was wedded, placed a hrid il ring upon his finger, .upon the inside of which had a few words privately engraven. The husband would never permit the giver to read them, telling ln-i that the day would come when her wish should be gratified, and she should know the secret. Seven years glided away, and la day or two since when conscious thnijie must soon leave his wife forpver, lie culled her to his bedside, and, with a dyii g accent, told her that the hour had at last come when she should see the words upon the ring she had given him. The young mother took it from his cold fingei, and, though heartstricken with grief, eagerly read the words: * UI have loved Thee on Earth?1 will meet Thee in Heaven." BALTIMORE. Sept. 15. Serious Accident.?An accident occurred yesterday morning at the Rail Road Depot in Pratt street, the rouse quence ol wtuct., tliere is reason to apprehend, will result fatally to one of the persona involved in it. It appears that Mr. John Dougherty, a contractor on the Baltimore and Oliio Rail Rood and a most worthy man, was engaged in conversation with Gen. Simon Cameron, Cashier of the Bank of MiddJetown, Pa.,?boih gentlemen being in that part of the depot which is near the eastern outer gate. -Before the cars came out, Gen. C. remarked to Mr. D. that he thought it was not sale to remain where they were standing, but the latter expressed his opinion so confidently that there was room for the cars to pass out without injury to them that they continued their conversation without changing their position. In a few minutes after one of the cars was drawn out of the d?pot at a slow rate, and the gentlemen were jammed between the car and the wall of the ticket office: As the car advanced the space left for their bodies was perhaps but little if any exceeding six inches. Mr. Dougherty, whose bodily frame is large and stout, was shockingly crushed, his collar hone and several of his rjhs being broken?the blood was forced from his chest into his head in a manner fearful to behold, and his eves literally started from .their sockets. Ron. Cameron's thin and snare frame en ab'ed him to escape with, we hope, no serious injury although the pressure in the region of the lower part of the body was very severe. Both gentlemen were conveyed to Whitman's Eagle Hotel, where physicians were procured, and every possible attention that th.- humanity, sympa thy and kindness of the various attendants could suggest was freely afforded.? Gpn. C.'s hurts do not indicate any serious injury, and we hope that a day or so of quiet will restore him to his wonted activity and the bosom of his family. Mr. Dougherty's case, we are pained to add. is one of a very serious character, so much so that scarcely a hope is entertained of his recovery. His deportment since the unhappy occurrence has been calm and perfectly self-possessed, although evidently suffering intense bodily pain.? His first expressed wish after being conveyed to the hotel, was that a clergyman nittrht be sent for and the consolations of religion administered to him; and later in . .... i-_ i me (lav OK Uli'orii, Ii_y <>111, mr ounngv ment'of his worldly affairs. A messenger was nlso despatched to Pennsylvania, to apprise his family of the accident. American. Not so bad.?Corporal Slreeter, of the Richmond Star, is an incorrigible w ag. 'Like the /at Knight,' he is not only witty himself but is the cause of wit in others. Here is the Corporal's last: 'Mother?why does Pa cull you honey? Because, my dear, he loves me.' ;No, Ma, tliHt is'nt it.' 'It is'ni? What is it then?' 'I know.' 'Well, what is it?'. Why it's cecause you have so much comb in your head?that's why.' 'He! he! he!?Tom you're a strange hild.' Singular.?The Newborn, N. C. Spec:ator says: ?

' We. have never hail but one scheme which answered all these conditions, and that is the' sub treasury scheme which Congress has jn'iit repealed. When.. we kept the public money in the United States Bank every one knows the trnable we had with it. When a portion of it was-: wanted to pay off the three percent stocks . ^ of the United Stales, Mr. Diddle immedi- $ ately posted to Washington, to leif the Secretary of the Treasury that the doing so would break"half the merchants in New York and Philadelphia, and finding that > !??. d..

When at length the public money was withdrawn ' from that bank, every body knows jiow gradually General Jackson was obliged to do it, what difficulties of every kind he had to encounter, and what a panic ensa- - ~ ed in the money market. So when it became necessary at last to w.ithrfraw the public money from the slate banks, with., which it was afterwards deposited* the process was slow and difficult, and &eonsiderable portion of it was lost. Neither of these methods was convenient, safe, or economical, and one of them was not constitutional. Contrast them with the sub-treasury system. Read the following paragraph which appeared in the Commercial Advertiser about a fortnight since. "Close op the ScbtTreasury-Xn New., York. The act repealing the sub-Trea- . sury having gone into effect, the Receiver General of New York, RobertC. Cornell, Esq. yesterday morning received in simctioiis to pay over all the money in. " his Itands to the merchants' Bank, which has been selected by the Secretary of the _ Treasury as the depository of the public money for the present. The Receiver General was also instructed to furnish to-' the cashier of that bank a list of such drafts as the Treasurer of the United Stales has given notice of being drawn upon the office in New York; in order that they may be paid hy the bank. We are ? . gratified to add that he was enabled at once to comply with these instructions, on the very day of theic reception. His accounts were at once closed; all the money io his hands paid over to the beak; triplicate nceipVs in full taken, and adviees of the filial closing ot the sub-treasury ;tn New York forwarded :o the Secretary of the Treasury, hy the mail of yesterday afternoon. Here, then, is an example of1 Whig promptness and integrity. The cash account has been examined and the books baliuced every day before leaving the office, and in the end the accounts balanced to a cent. HIC JACET SUB TREASURY. The great Van Buren Second Declaration of Independence!" . Here is the testimony of an enemy to the excellence of the sub-treasury system. Never was there a system of more complete or inorc expeditious responsibility. What would have required the negocia- o lions and arrangements of months, if a bank had been the depository, is done ilk an instant. No preparation is necessary, ?&, no gradual steps, no time is needeu to disentangle the funds of the United Slates from other affairs?the direction is given at Washington, and obeyed as soon as it reaches New York. There is no inconvenience, no alarm, no loss; to Wall street suffers no shock; Front street does not hear of the event* the merchants obtain their accommodations as usual; there is no necessity to send on an agent to remonstrate with the government. We doubt whether the wit of all our legislatures both state nnd national, has, within the last twenty-five years devised any thing so perfect in its way as the mode of keeping and paying out the public money which Congress has just had the folly to abrogate. It was in harmony with the constitution; it "separated the public money from the control of the Executive;" it provided for a safe and instant accountability; its transactions produced no fluctuation nor disturbance in the money market; it was neither "inconvenient," nor ' burdens >"me," nor ^'expensive." To this excellent system, or its like, the nation will call upon the government to return. * . . . * e r'y ?-r ... -J;. ' ' v v
