Now that (lie crash has come,and ruin' ' and poverty stare him in the face, I fed that he t has nil-my sympathies. Yes. Ido most deep- i ly sympathise with him.

This is to be expected, as he (Bar nuin) had the reputation of being a smart, j shrewd and intelligent man, the truth of which 1 I can myself bear .witness to.

I know, also, that hcjwns continually importuned by needy people for assistance, and I can irinst positively assure you. as I believe to be the case, that none ever left him unassisted, who was in the least deserving. I think, however, that his genius and talent will not lung permit him to remain in impoverished obscurity. Ills deter mined will will soon arouse him to action, and in a short space of lime ho will have surmount ed the difficulties that now surround ond op press him, and which would have paralyzed the energies of an ordinary man. I will not dwell longer upon this subject. It is. indeed, painful for me to contemplate.

I will give two or three good rules which inoy help you to become happier than you woOld be without knowing them; but as to being completely happy, that you can never tyc till you get to heaven : . : The first is. ''try your best to mnkeother* happy,” “1 never was happy,” said a certain king, 'Mill I began to toko pleasure in the wel fare of myyeoplo: but ever since then, in the (lowest day, I have hod sunshine in tny heart.” ■ ‘ My second rule la. “he content with little.” There arc many good'reasons for tins rule.— We deserve but little, we requirt hut little,and heller la little in the fear of God, thou great treasures and troubles therewith’.” Two men asc determined to be rich, but they set about it in different ways; for the one strove to raise up Ids means to his desire; while the other done his best to bring down his desires to his means. Tho result was. -the one who covered much was always contented. ' My tjdrd rule is, ‘‘look on the sunny mdo of things.” • Look up hopeful eyes, Though all things seem forlorn; The sun that sets 10-nlght will rise ' Again to.morrow morn. The skipping lamb, tho singing lark and the leaping fish tell us that tiaypiness is not Con fined to tho place. . God m bis goodness has spread It abroad on tho earth, in tho air, ami in tho waters.

Who ever ;yet saw a boy grow up in Idleness, ibat did riot make n shiftless vagabond when ho be came a man, unless he had a fortune to keep up appearances? The gnat mass of thieves, paupers and criminals that fill our penitentia ries and alms houses, have come up to what they are by beins- brought up In idleness.— Those who consulate the business part of the 1 community, those who make our great and I useful men,'were trained up in their.boyhood I to be industrious. When a boy is old.enough to begin toploy in ! the street, then he is old enough to he taught how lo work.. Of course, we would not de prive children of healthful, playfu) exercise, or the time they should spend ni study, but leach I them to work, little by little, as a child is j taught at school. In this way he will acquire ' habits of industry which will not forsake him i when he grows up^ j. Many persons who ore poor let their children i grow up to 14 or 10 years of age. or till they can support them no longer, before they put them lo labor. Such children, not having any ' what work is. and having acquired hat)- i its of idleness, go forth to impose upon theif . employers with laziness. There isn repulsive , ness in all work set before them, and to get it done, no matter how, is their only aim- They are ambitious at play, but dull at wotk. The I consequence is they do not stick to one thing but at short lime; they* rove about the world, get into mischief, and tinuliy liud their way to the prison or alms house. I With the habit of idleness. tire mnv gencr i ally, if not invariably, bo found. \\lun the mind and hands arc not occupiid in mhho use ful employment, an evil genius Grids them i do. They arc found in the streets till late .in the evening, learning vulgarand pro fane habits from their elders in vice. They may be seen hanging around groceries, bar rooms and stores, where crowds gather, but they are seldom found engaged m study. A lazy boy, is not only a bad boy, but a disgrace to his parents, for it is through their neglect he becomes thus. No parents, however poor, in these times of cheap books and news papers, need let their children grow up in idle ness. If they cannot be kept at manual labor, let their mind be kept at work, make them in* 1 dusirions scholars and they will be industrious in any business they may undertake in after life.
