We recommend the following hints to full grown boys, as well as to young men just entering onthe duties of life: In the first place, make up your mind to accomplish whatever you undertake, decide upon some partieular employ ment, and pen3evere init. All difficulties are overcome by diligence and assiduity. Be not afraid to work with your own hands, and diligently too. "A cat in gloves catches no mice." "He who re mains in the mill, grinds not, but he who goes and comes." Attend to your own business, and nev er trust to another. "4 pot that belongs to many is ill stirred and worse,bolled." Be frugal. "That which will not make a pot, will makes potlid." "Save the cents, and the dollars will take care of themselves." Be abstemious. "Whb dainties love shall beggars prove." Rise early. "The sleeping fox catches no poultry." "Plough deep while slug gards sleep, and you will have corn to sell and keep." - Treat every one with respect and civili ty. Everything is gained and nothing is lost by courtesy. "Good manner:3in sure success." Never anticipate Wealth from any other source than labor ; especially never place dependenoe upon becoming the possessor of au Inheritance. " He who waits for dead men's shoes, may have to go for a long tame barefoot. He who runs after a shadow has a weari some raee."p Above all things, never despair. "God is where he was." "Heaven helps throe who help themselves." Follow implicitly these precepts, and nothing can hinder you from accumula ting. THE DANGERS( Sr HEUIEZ. Out lady readers should be informed that the liquid called benzine, which they use so freely for removing grease spot, and stains from clothing, is a very dangerous article. It le one - of the sub stances from petroleum, sad is highly volatile, inflamsuabLe, and when the vapor is mixed with air, explosive. We have frequently been much alarmed, when visiting neighbors and friends in the evening, to observe a phial of this fluid standing in close proximity to a lamp, or gas flame, and the odor perva ding the room. A very email quantity is capable of doing irreparable mischief. The contents of a four ounce phial, if overturned and vaporized, would render the air of a moderate sized room explo sive ; or, if ignited, a whole family might be seriously burned, or lose their lives from It. It should never be used in the vicinity of flame; and it is important to remember that through the medium of the escaping vapor, when the phial is uncorked, flame will leap to it through a space of several feet. Benzine is often sold under various fa.neflul names, and, therefore, any article procured from druggist, for removing oil or grease from fabrics should be handled with the ut most care.—Ezehange. ONIONS ♦ND lIIPIDENIaII In the spring of 1849 I was in charge of one hundred men on shipboard, with the cholera among the men. We had onions, which a number of the men ate freely. Those who did so were soon at tacked, and nearly all died. As soon as I made this discovery their use was forbidden. After mature deliberation came to the oonclusion that onions should never eaten during the pre valence of epidemics, for the reason that they absorb the virus and communicate the disease, and that the proper use for them is sliced, and placed in the sick room, and replaced with fresh ones every few hours. It Is a well established fact that onions will extract the poison of snakes ; this I personally know. Some kinds of mud will do the same. After Maintaining the foregoing opinion for eighteen years, I found the following well attested: Onions placed In the room where there is small-pox will blister and decompose with great rapidity ; not only so, but will prevent the spread of the dis ease. I think as a disinfectant they have no equal, when properly used ; but keep them out of the stomach. If need be, the foregoing (which I have greatly ab breviated) can be attested on oath. Let us have all the facts bearing upon the subjeot. Joirrt B. WOLF.

TWOMBLEYM lIINITAIL6 Mr. Thomas Twombley had drank but all glasses of brandy and water, when, being a man of discretion, he returned home at the seasonable hour of 1, A. 3C, and went soberly to bed. Mrs. Thomas Twombley was too well accustomed to the comings and goings of maid Thomas to be much disturbed by the trifling noise he made on retiring ; but when she discovered that be had his boots on, she requested him to move them or keep his feet out of the bed. "My dear," said Mr. Twombley, in au apologetic tone, "skims me! How I came to forget the boots, I can't con ceive, for I'm jest as sober as ever I was in all my life!" Mr. Twombley eat on the side of the bed, and made an efibrt to pull off his right boot. The attempt was successful, though it brought him to the floor. On regaining his feet,, Mr. Twombley thought ke saw the door open. As he was sure he shut the door on coming in, he was astonished, and dark at it was In the room, he couldn't be mistaken, he felt eertaln. Mr. Twombley staggered towards the door to shut itLwhen, to his still greater surprise, he saw a figure approach from beyond. Mr. Twombley stopped; the figure stopped. Twombley advanced again, and the figure did the same. Twombley raised his right hand, and the figure raised Its left. "Who's there?" roare.l Twombley, beginning to be frightened. The object made no reply. Twombley raised his boot lila menancing attitude—the figure defied him by shaking a similar object, "By the Lor!" Cried Twombley, "I'll find out who you are, you sneaking cuss!" He hurled the boot full at the head of the mysterious object, when— crash! went the looking glass, which Twombley had mistaken for the door. 11010CAMItli TirTll This old colored woman, now living in Michigan, recently visited Milton, Wis., where slie was the guest of a Mr. Good rich, who was an out-and-out temperance man, and a noted hater of tobacco. One morning she was pulling away with long pipe In mouth, when her host, Mr. Goodrich, approached her, and com menced conversation with the following Interrogatory: "Aunt Sojourner, do you think you are a Christian ?" "Yes, Brudder Goodrich, I speck I am." "Aunt Sojourner, do you believe in the Bible?" "Yee, Brodder Goodrich, I bleeve the Scripters ; though I can't read them as you can." "Aunt Sojourner, do you know that there is a passage in the Scriptures which declares that nothing unclean can enter the Kingdom of Heaven?" "Yes, Brudder Goodrich, I have heard tell of it." "Aunt Sojourner, do you believe It?" "Yes, Brudder Goodrich, I bleeve it." "Well, Aunt Sojourner, you smoke, and you cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven, because there Is nothing so un clean as the breath of a smoker. What do you say to that?" "Why, Brudder Goodrieh, I speck to leave my breff behind me when I go to Heaven." DEFINITION OF D(KMATIBll.—"Robert, my dear," said Jenny, with the deferent ial air of a scholar ; "Robert, what did Mr. Carraway mean when he said he hated dog—dogmatism?" Topps was puzzled. " Robert, my dear," Jenny urged, "what in the world is dogmatism 7" Now it was the weakness of Topps never to confess ignoranoe of anything to his wife. "A man ahould never do it." Topps had been known ig a convivial season to declare, "It makes 'em conceit ed." Whereupon Toppa prepared him self as was his wont, to make a solemn sat isfying answer. Taking off his hat and smoothing the wrinkles on his brow, Topps said : "Humph! What is dogmatism? It is this, of course—dogmatism is puppy- Ism come to its full growth !" And Topps was about right. THE STORY or Dux. Full.Eirron.—Bill had inherited a handsome estate from his father, but having neither industry nor business, he fell into evil habits, and by a life of dissipation and riotous living had squandered all his property. For some time he had lived only on credit. One night he was returning home in a condi tion of Intoxication, when, being unable to walk, he laid down in the gutter and went to sleep. While in this position a robber approached him, and presenting a loaded pistol at his head, demanded his money or his life. Bill, partly aroused, thrust his hand in his pocket, and said : "My friend, silver and gold have I none, but I'll give you my note at sixty days."

A rejected lover being present remarked he "mould now account for her never be ing fat away from home." A HOOFER'S wife attempted to move him by her tears. "Ann," said he, "tears are uselees.

I 2 The editor of the Lancaster inieiligim ccr, who was in attendance, says that the recent Democmtic State Convention at Harrisburg was one of the ablest bo dies of the kind he ever saw. Among the delegates were many who are not only 'known throughout the State, but whose names are familiar to the whole country. It was evident that there was a determination among the members conscientiously to do in all things what they felt to be best for the interests of this 'much distressed and oppressed na tion. While there was an active and eager rivalry among the friends of dif ferent candidates, and while the contest for Delegates at large to the National Convention was especially exciting, swallowing up to a great extent the riv alry for State candidates, we must say we never saw such • general desire to choose the right men for the place and the times. All mere sectional and per sonal considerations were laid aside, and the Convention proceeded to the impor tant work before it with a temper and in • manner that showed that prudence and sagacity which have given to the Democ racy of Pennsylvania so many triumphs in the past, and which will undoubtedly enable them to swell' their majority of last tall to many thousands at the com ing all-important Presidential election. The candidates put forward for Audi tor and Surveyor Generals are men of decided ability, of sterling integrity, of unsullied personal honor. and of popular' manners. They are both young and both fine speakers. In the coming con test they will appear before the people of the'State, and on the stump will well bear their part in the discussion of the momentous issues which are now agita ting the nation. Our candidate for Auditor General, Hon. Chu. E. Boyle, of Fayette county, is a civilian, and one of the ablest young men in Western Pennsylvania. For two years together he was the recogniz ed leader of the Democratic party on the floor of the lower House of our Mite Legislature, and he acquitted himself so ably as to give him a high reputation throughout the State. The West de manded his nomination, with a very good show of reason so far as the ques tion of locality was conoerned. The nomination of Mr. Boyle is an excellent one. The candidate for Surveyor General, Gen. Wellington 11. Ent, of Columbia county, is as gallant a soldier as ever went forth from Pennsylvania.' He fought through the war against the Southern secessionists who sought to destroy the Union by force of arms, and la now as ready vigorously to do battle against the band of Northern traitors, who by preventing its restoration have kept him and his fellow-soldiers from seeing the fulfilment of the great work for whith they so freely shed their blood and periled their lives. The State ticket as it thus stands, being composed of a distinguished civilian and a distinguish ed soldier, cannot fail to be elected by a very large majority. The platform of principles put forward by the Convention is eminently sound And conservative. It Is not made up of glittering generalities, but is a clear and distinct enunciation of the great politi cal principles which underlie the pre sent\\. aJJ , important contest.. ' It will com mend itself to every right di nklng man in Pennsylvania, and will in for us many votes from the Oppositio . The Convention did its work well. The result is before the people of the State, and their voice will be heard In loud approval at the State election In October, and In the still more Important Presidential election In November, de claring that Pennsylvania still stands Arm for the restoration of the Union and the preservation of Constitutional liber ty. A OITIOGSTICAL WIDOW A widow woman residing in the east ern section of Wheeling, Va., had occa sion to resort to a piece of strategy to meet the demands of her landlord and save ,her home. Her means were very limited, arid to the frequent duns of her landlord she was compelled to give him many excuses, until he became exaspera ted and demanded when she could pay him. She then told him that she had no Enmity now, but was expecting some from a son who was absent, and that probably in a few days she would dis charge the debt. The landlord is a prompt old fellow, especially when there is money is the question, so it was but a. few days before be showed his "grim visage" at the widow's door again, buoy ant with the hope of receiving the amount due him. But unfortunately the woman was not prepared to meet her ob ligations, and did not know what to do undertheeircumstances. Feelings/thorn ed to postpone the payment any longer by promises, she retortelt to a, piece of strategy to accomplish the' same end. The landlord knocked at the door and made- his business known. The widow informed him that she had the money for some time, but that herself and her children were afflicted with the small pox, and that she was afraid to go out for fear that the disease would grow worse from exposure. The landlord did'nt wait to hear any more, or even to get the money, but vs:noosed instanter, and tuts not been aploe in that locality. , "Time mobilize most be an awful, dM• honeeteetin• aid se old ladr, , • Wiz mot,a illitttleeekzei that, some ierntrr le not re.

Is this true? 1 hope not, for your sake. I have heretofore always endeav ored to uphold you, when you and 7uur measures were spoken against. borne have said the reason you were so hard on the rebels was becauseyou were vindictive and revengeful, bo account of their burn ing your Caledonia Iron Works during Lee's luvalson of Pennsylvania, thereby causing you to lose 5.50,0 1 00, I told them no; that yoti did not care for the loss of your works, that your only regret was that about two hundred laborers were thrown out of employment ou account of ft, until you could get them rebuilt again ; that you have always been an abolition ist; but it seems that this fondness for the colored race has so grown on you of late, that you may be said to be afflict ed with that new disease called "Nigger on the brain," as you wish to give them rights and flavors denied to white mon. V,bite emigrants are required to' live a certain length of time In the country before voting ; butyou want to give the Ignorant blackif the right of suffrage im mediately; and you want to make the South such a Paradise for them (in dis regard of the interest of the whites) that It will attract some of their race to emi grate front Africa and the Southern Islands.

General Scott, could not be elected President. I am only one of thousands that join Johnson or the constitutional party. I never voted a Democratic ticket in _my life; was a Whig the same as You, Mr. Stevens, until the Republican party was organized in 11356; then I Joined It; It was as natural for us Whigs to slide into it as It is for ducks to swim.

I join the other flock. Adieu, adieu. ROBERT CRISWELL. HINT% PON CHOOWING NEAT AT NAIR A cotemporary says he has often been surprised at the Ignorance displayed by housekeepers in the selections which they frequently make In the market for family supplies. Many seem to think If they have chosen from an overgrown beast or bird with large bones, loaded with masses of fat .upon Its flesh, that they have been particularly lucky and secured an excellent dish, when In all probability, they have taken the very worst and least profitable for coma:up - - lion. In purchasing a quarter ofan ani mal, or pieces from lt, we should select such:as have the smallest, thinned, and flattest bones, covered by the finest grained flesh, with the fat intermixed, In thin streaks or layers with the lean. This will almost Invariably be found tender, Joley and profitable. On tho contrary, meat with large, round, thick bones, ors coarse grain, and showing the fat in thick slices or large lumps, will prove tough, unsavory. and so far as the profitable part of It is concerned, nut worth so much by twenty.fiv9 per cent. as the finer bone qualities! Poultry which bps long, coarse legs, neck and 'head, ought to be avoided, while that with short, fine legs, long round, and plump bodies, and a fine, short neck and head if of a suitable age, should be pre ferred. These remarks do not apply with the same force to ash, for several kindi of the most bony are very good eating, although they may not be as profitable as those with fewer bones. The most delicate, however, have rather a large number of Imes compared with the amount of meat they give; for exam ple, the salmon, bass, cod and mackerel of salt water, and the Mackinaw trout, muzcalogne and white fish of the fresh water. Very large vegetables are not usually as good as those of medium size, but to this rule there are many excep tions. As for fruits, the largest ars al ways the best. • MIPMID6IIII TV AL. The rnostatupendous tunnel enterprise has lately been, accomplished at the sil ver mines In the German Harts moun tains. The mines were over 8,000 feet deep, and,scarelty of fuel prevented the use of steam for pumping, which wee done by water wheels, aided by tunnel drains. But the great depth reached in 1859 precluded further progress In that manner, and a tunnel was commenced for deep drainage, which is just no wan 'shed. This tunnel is twenty-two miles long; two million cubic yards of solid rock were excavated, ten thousand pounds of powder used, and the linear extent of blasting holes drilled was 180 miles.
