Bat from present indications, the spirit I of Improvement is visible in aU quarters of our borough; and we are* pleased to learn that in their conjectures, they have been mistaken in this particular, it Is true, that in consequence I rf the numerous discharges from the workshops of the company, n few weeks ago, many persons were compelled to leave our town and seek em ployment elsewhere; hut notwithstanding the removal of these families, there is yet a scarcity lof houses and a demand for more. This in creased demand for houses is being met by our moneyed citizens, and at the present writing tiiore are upwards of thirty, houses in course of erection in onr town. Bone of those .houses are being built for tire accommodation alone of the families of the 'builders, 'and of course are first class dwellings; but, among .those being built for rental, we notice but one or- two which oanbe called'tAinf class houses. Among those bring built for the former purpose, we notice a magnificent and at the same time convenient building in East Altoona, being erected by Mr. C. Jaggard. When completedit will be an or nament to the town,land a credit to the builder. I Mr. John Nicholas* dwelling, which we noticed at the time it was commenced, is also a fine i building, creditably planned.

Tbs Glorious Fourth I—Tbe 83d anniversa ry of tlie day that gave us birth as a free people U fast approaching, and we bear of uo arrange ments j being made to celebrate' it, (as it ever should'be by American citizens,) by the people of our goodly town. It is said, and we think truthfully, that a nation which neglects to ob serve great public holiday’s evinces evidences of degeneracy and decay. The 4th of July, of all the days in the United States, should be a day of rejoicing—stores should be closed—work cease—and every one observe the day according to his wishes! We see that in -several of the towns around.us they are making arrangements to have a Union Social meeting of all the people _of the Town—a regular old fashioned way of passing the day. Would not this be the mest pleasant and appropriate way to spend it here ? Let.OBT military our excellent Band and our citizens, old and, young, go to one of the pleasant groves or hill sides around, the Town—have a speech from one of ourlpiuzens and the Declaration read—enjoy a dinner in the woods—and it seems to us the day would be both pleasantly and suitably'passed. Debit not be said of the young and'growing Altoona, i that there was not patriotism enough in her midst to get up anything to show that they thought there was any difference between the 4th of July'anlT&y, other day of the 3C5 that comprise the year. Who seconds our idea?— Come ye men who enjoy living in this free land I of ours and boast of your patriotism, make a I demonstration worthy of the dsy.

' Sly. Young.Friends—Again I greet yon.—. Another week -has gone. How. rapidly they pass ! - As tlie sands of the hour-glass, silently, hut in quick succession-drop-until they have, all-ran out, so our weeksone after another are rapidly passing away and will soon bring us to the last, Tim® ,!s short! weeks make months and-months make years; and oif years the ordi naiy limit to man, is'three-scbre and -ten. But few, comparatively, reach' the limit. Then how appropriate the language.: “ What thou doest do quickly.” That is, dolt at once; do it with energy. “What, thy hands find to do, doit with tby migbt.” The value of time I Who can. compute it ! The adage is, “ Time is. money.” I have thought that this language but inade quately expresses the truth—for the proper use and improvement of time involves health, mo ney, reputation, our comfort in this life, as well as the untold realities of eternity. Yet, often, how lavishly we spend It I How many of our precious moments ran to waste! Of all the .profligacy of the world waste of time is the greatest, and yet the young friends, you may think your friend is in rather a sober mood tbipmorning. Well, I not much more so than usual; But he feels] that he is about to refer to an advantage enjoyed by you here, which it is very important you should rightly ’appreciate,involving the improvement of time., And it does seem to me, tjiat even a glimpse at the importance of this subject is enough to make even the facetious, yet gentlemanly and noble-hearted Major Boley, a little sober. ; According to the well known liberal jriows and generpsity of the P. R. E. Co., they have adopted the ten hour system with their em ployees. Their adoption; of the system, and timing of their men-by the “Bell.” Ims inter woven this system more or less, with'all the labors of the placer The result is that almost every one, and especially the young men .in their employ, have a certain part of their time ■to thomselsea, .whioh .vthey may uso with grbat profit, if they will. And it will be an advan tage, lor a disadvantage, just as they do this or not; the time is theirs, if .they spend it in idleness or folly, or .in forming habits of vice or profligacy, it muat prove a serious evil. And this will inevitably be the result, if they do not lay down for themselves home xu’e or order, or systepi for its improvement. “IdUneu is the mother of vice." v But the young men of this place may be ready to excuse themselves, ami even complain, that jthc proper sources of amusement and im provement are wanting here. That is true to a certain extent, and was in a former letter shown to be one of'thpir disadvantageous cir cumstance:. But tjicn the question is, ought they not unitedly aadi in good earnest, goto' work to bring about a.different state of things? I tbinV they ought. To niCiit is clearly their duty. It ia a matter which involves not only their own individual improvement and personal ! interests, but also the character and good of the place in which we live. And now, ypung friends, if you will bear with me, I will drop a hint or two as to my views of the manner in which yohr spare time should be spent. Unquestionably/ a part of it at least maybe .“pent in innocent recreation. The mind of man no more than the body, bears well constant tension. L&e the bow that is always' strung, it will lose its elasticity) The sources of such recreation; are numerous almost as the various tastes of men. As for example, walks or rides dor pleasure—strolls to upon nature’s beau- especially at this'inviting season—social intercourse with your companions, .in which the every-day occurrences of life, which are td general interest, may come Up in hasty review)— and in which opinions may be’ freely expressed about the political, moral and religious ques tions of the day-i-or irhen you may indulge sal lies of - wit, andmerry-making Such' things make men think and sharpen the intel lect, whilel it -is an unbending of the mind, and a source of recreation to the whole man,, Ano . thcr way of seekingyecreation Is in the society of virtuous and intelligent Females. There is no more wholesome restraint of an earthly kind,- than.that which kind-hearted, affectionate, vir tuous and intelligent ladies exert over the gen tlemen pif their acquaintance. Toting men can not wj|li do without the influences of female society. Those who shun their company either become chorliah and morose, or they beeptne hardened and .vile. While on the other band to mingle with the .fairer sex, softens the aspefi-, tics of nature, improves * the manners, and better preparcs thcm for the' common civilities of life. Yet it wonldnot he just to yourselves, nor'right jp Bis sight who trill-judge us, and callus to an account fdr tl e use of the talents committed to ns, thus to spend all your spore time. ; The mind js ‘to rbe trained and stored with useful knowledge.

The Cincinnati Commercial says: About thirty-five-hundred Journeymen tailors tire employed by wholesale manufacturers In this city, and'’' their average wages are about fifty five cenit per diem. Some-do not receive over thirty five cents per diem, while feic if any receive above sixty cents, 'they arc all required to woik ten hours a day. Those who arc able to own sew ing machines, and who employ from three to half a dozen girls to assist them, make fair per diem by working from sixteen to eighteen hours out of the twenty-four. The prices paid are about as follows: For ordinary cassimero and doeskin pants which are sold at from $2 to $5 per pair, the manufacturer pays the journeyman 15 a 40 cents per pair fur making. It requires a day to make a pair. For an ordinary 'cloth coat usually sold by the manufacturer at from $lO to SLS, the journeyman is paid 35 a cents for making. It requires a full day for making. making an ordinary cloth, silk, satin, vel vet or other vest, the tailor is paid 15 a 50 cents, and it is a day’s work. Tailors say they know Chat pants have been made, within a week, for 15 cents a pair. Meronant tailors pay their journeymen about one hundred per cent, better prices, and charge their customers, more than a pro rata for work. Tus Piety Little Pig. —The PnSa Christian (Miss.)

N ovt he has not a single grey lock upon his crown, nor is his hair thin or dry, but,soft, pliable and moist as that of a child'of five years. This preparation acts upon the roots, for after an application!, that portion of the bail nearest the scalp is found restored to the original color, whatever it was, while the ends of the hair ore gray.
