M:i. iv
When I approach the borders of
the Territory of Young Manhood, it
is•not without, to a certain extent, a
feeling of diffidence. My fears are
conceived of experience and born of
observation. I am Fatty well ac
quainted with the inhabitants of that
country. I have 'been right there,
and I understand that since I left
there some ten or fifteen years ago,
that what changes have occurred in
the manners and habits of life, have
been such as rather to confirm my
apprehensions.
As you approach the Territory of .
Young Manhood you at first have to
sail through a region of " perpetual
squalls," and if you have the fortune
to get through this in about ten years
you may consider yourself lucky.
It is desirable when starting out in
life to have the small-pox, whooping
cough, measles, and mumps, all in
one season (and, if possible, all at
once, so as to save time), andlor this
purpose your/mother ought to take
you to every public gathering, includ
ing church service; and as a consid
eration for what the congregation has
to give you in the line of .diseases,
you can turn oft a variety of sounds
for the amusement of the audience.
Now, if you can beat out these dis
eases; you may consider yourself
" tough," and ready for the battle of
life. I have seen some who had nev
er had all of theni that were called
" tough."
When you come to the age of ten,
say, you approach the Territory of
Youth. Such things as slippers, and
other instruments of maternal tor
ture, are played, and in that region
there is no restra'..nt except that su
perinduced by a quasi loyalty to the
pater familihs. This Territory of
Youth lies between latitude ten and
sixteen.
As you enter this province the peo
ple are all small, but then are grow
ing big very fast. The inhabitants
are dirty, ragged and saucy. It re
quires two sewing machines to keep
a pair of trousers on one of them.
They eat with a flourishing appetite,
and want help everywhere except at
table.. They go to "auntie's,' but
auntie dcesn't see them unless ahe
happens down Street. They culti
vate habits of acquisitiveness and ftu
gality, and play marbles for " keeps"
and they keep them. They give with
a generous • hand to support such
charitable institutions as Van Am
burg's Show and Pattie Stewart's
Minstrels. On these occasions they
never go alone. The mother, father,
two aunts and a cousin go along " to
take care of the children." This
shows healthy regard for the wel
fare of the tender mind.
But passing out of the territory of
this strange people you come into the
borders of Young. Manhood, and here
you, find the all-hredest smartest set
of inhabitants (latitude sixteen. to
twenty) that the sun of heaven shines
on. They know, more than Methuse
lah did at seven hundred and ninety
nine. Seven whole families of ordi- .
nary persons could not teach them
anything. They exercise exclusive
jurisdiction in their own territory,
and the " governor " don't consider
it healthy to put on much authority.
Say what you please about the
ability or the popularity of Caesar or
Napoleon Bonaparte, if they were
alive to-day and should move into
their country, they couldn't get the
office of school director! They are
out at night. They are in . in the
morning,. They eat all the oysters
their friends will pal for. They con
sider the church a very good place
for girls, and when the girls are miss
ing they go there to look for them.
They don't have any Stindapschool ;
they are so big they couldn't get in
to one. There are very 'few of them
that don't blow enough to chew ,to
bacco and swear. Education is very,
generally diffused. They often begin
at trigonometry and French, so that
they aronot perplexed with any s
thing as Sander's spelling 1.•

source of motive power, is justly con
sidered almost a miracle. The At

are worthy of all commendation.
But without deteriorating from
their woth, and with all deference to
their several illustrious inventors,
their conceptions and executions, I
must throw my'voice, however feeble
it may seem, in favor of the man that
invented eating tobacco. As a source
of true contentment and felicity it
has no equal in any other profession
Of life.
It is the nearest like perpetual mo
tion of anything I ever saw yet. And
if 'I had a pair of jaws that worked as
well as some I have seen, I would ,
apply for a patent for perpetual mo
tion at once.
I have only to notice its universal
adoption to show that the world con
siders it as the twin sister of civiliza
tion.
There is, according .to an , actual
computation, enough tobacco reduc
ed from a solid to a liquid form each
day to heave the Great Baste!n off
the,ary dock.
It has been computed that if - all
the tobacco quids which ate thrown
away (and wasted) in the course of
a year were brought together and
piled in a pile, and all the chewers
stood round looking at it, that a man
who had any regard for Ins health,
or stood in fear of death, wouldn't
consider it advisable to live in that
country "Ong.
Tobacco is one of the best medi
cines of this or any other age, and if
there is any one thing that excites
my sympathy more than - anything
else for the ancients, it is their total
destitution.
I think it is indigenous to the soil
of, America, and when I consider that
she has nursed it in its infancy, Imo
tected it in its youth, and patronized
it so in its more advanced age, I am
glad that I sent all my relations to
get killed defending the American
eagle.
It is used exclusively as a medicine.
Some chew it for tooth-ache, some
for head-ache, some for dyspepsia(?).
I never saw any one tha• edd it. I
could " break myself " of the habit si
I chose to, but I use it for the breath !
It is better than superannated egg!,
if for no other reason, because it is
more fashionable. I ave seen folks
that didn't know enough to chew-. to
bocce. Such a person is hard to find,
and when found he isn't fit to control
and manage the ordinary affairs of life.
There is more sociability in a chew
of tobacco than you are aware of,
The man who carries a big tobacco
box is sure to have friends.
I don't like to get friends in that
way, so I' always carry a box with a
false drawer in ; and when any of my
numerous friends asks me if I have
got any " fine cut," I don't say any
thing, but push out that empty draw
er—and that is a fine cut, of course!
Oh yes, there is a bond of union in
it—La fellow feeling that makes us
wondrous kind. It is a rallying sign.
It I meet a man in the street whose
breath smells like a maoke-house,
whose teeth look like soft soap, who
has, marked out the road from his
lowest vest button to his mouth with
a slimy and noisome train of tobacco
juice, I feel insensibly drawn to him,
and would have no hesitancy in tak
ing an oath of eternal fidelity or bor
rowing a dollar of him if he had it.
No man can tell in the cycle of
time what changes fashion may work.
We can only conjecture to what ex
treme and dangerous innovations it
may --lead. The dearest and most
long-cherished customs are often bro
ken up in an hour. But if there be
any one custom which I cannot bear
to see fall into- disuse, - which I con
sider an inalienable right descended
as a precious inheritance from our
revolutionary ancestors, and which I
fondly hope may be co-extensive with
civilized life. itself, it is that of eating
tobacco.
In these days, although the man
that cannot eat tobacco may be said
to be under a civil death, yet if he
caublow the smoke into other peo
ple's fazes on the street, that, to a
cert in extent, removes the disabili
ty. Tobacco smoke is more power
ful han any other form. I presume
there are more health-giving proper
ties in it. It is said that a drop of
its, extract will kill a dog -in three
minutes. It is, like the other forme,
used exclusively as a medicine. It is
excellent for dyep For tooth
ache it works • e n charm. It is good
for the "blues." It will 'sure a sk.
perflnity of pocket money in from
three to twelve days.
Smoke has always been considered
good to kill gnats and cure hanis.
thins cured by tobacco smoke never
contain any live trichina. I never
saw anybody that likedit except some
girls to whom it is never "offensive,"
unless their brothers are blowing it.
I consider smoke as the mast genteel
forui of tobacco. It hangs abmt a
man kn:iger than any, other form.' A

grave and staod near to the pall
bearers as they deposited their bur
den, for a few momenta, on the rude
boards placed to receive it.
The coffin was very rich and cost

Over plate on the lid, I read:
"So young," thought I sadly, "cut

When the coffin was lowered, the
mother who had been strangely calm:
sprang away from the arm on which
she had been leaning, threw herself
on her knees beside the grave, with
her hands clasped and her tearless
eyes gazing wildly down into the
dark receptacle.
"0 my precious boy I Lost forever I

TEAT YOUNG MAN WANTED..
A great contest is Ong on in re
ference to him. • Themare two great
competitors for him. The young man
has given scarcely the slightest at
tention to this great tact: But there
is a game of fearful. import' in pro=
meg, in which' he is the stake, end
the issue is getting nearer every hour.
The Competitors are Satan and the
Saviour. Satin wanted Peter ; but
he lost that prize. But he often suc
ceeds, and if be does in this case, why
does he want that young man ? what
will he do with him?
1. He will make him abuse, and,
so far as possible, destroy all the no
ble powers God has, given him. That
is just what Satan hai.done with his
own; he has been in total opposition
to the will of God in this regard. Not
one of his great endowments is used
to glorify the Infinite Giver. And he.
will have a complete imitator in that
Young man, if he succeeds with him:
Not one hour's service shall the bless
ed God have of all those noble pow
ers. •
/ Nor shall the yohng man taste,
for one moment, the noblest of all
pleasures—the friendship of God.
His abuse of his powers will make
such an alienation between him and
his Maker as will turn him away from
all relish for, or seeking of, any plea
sure in his Maker's service, and he
will seek pleasure anywhere else than
in the Infiriite fountain of good. •
3. And Satan, gaining him for a
prize, that young man will turn his
own influence in the direction of in
volving others in the same copdem- -
nation. His bad example, his false
opinions and errors, his words, con
temptuous of good and seductive to
evil—in a word, his whole character
will come into agreement with the
great Deceiver, and - co-operate with
him in drawing others into as deep
guilt and misery as that in which he
is himself involved.
In short, Satan wants that young
man, so as to make as complete a
wreck of him as to all goodness and
happiness, as he has made of him
self—involving the issue, that his vic
tim shall know, and that forever, all
that is terrific in the fact of being a
companion of the Devil and his an
gelBl
All this Satan has clone with count
less numbers of young men, and he
is playing. at the dreadful game of
entrapping and ruining thousands
more.
But there is another e,om . petitorfor
that young man. The Saviour wants
him. What for?
L To repair all the damage sin has
already done him, and secure all his
noble powers for the uses for which
they were bestowed. Reason, con
science, imagination, the affections— .
have all b.en misused. The harp
strings have been weakened or bro-
ken. - Bnt the Lord Jesus Christ
would resto're all and make heavenly
music in the soul.
2. Arid' thereby would give that
young man the noblest and sweetest
pleasures of which his soul is capa
ble •--cauSin a constantly ascending
progress to 'higher enjoyment as he
advances in the kpowledge of' God,
till that joy becomes perfect in heav
en.
8. And he reaches the grandest of
all possibilities of good—viz., corn=
Clete likeness to Christ and compan
ionshipwith Him forever in glory. .
This is what Christ wants of that
young man.

RAPIDITY Or TENET IN DREAM-
A very remarkable circumstance,
and an important point of analogy is,
says Dr. Forbes Winslow, to be found
in the extreme rapidity with which
the mental .operations are performed,
or rather with which the material
changes on which the ideas depend
are excited in the hemispherical gan
glia. It world appear as if a whole
series of acts, that would really occu
py a long lapse . , of tin' ie, pass ideally
through the mind in one instant. We
have in dreams no pereeption of the
lapse of time—a strange property of
mmd ; for if such be also its property
when entered into the disembodied
state, time will appear to us eternity,
The relations of space as well as of
time are - also annihilated so that
while almost an eternity is compress
ed into a moment, infinite space is
traversed more swiftly than by real
thought. There are numerous illus
trations of this principle on record.
A gentleman tinamt that he had en
listed as a soldier, joined his mime t

and at last led out for execution.
After the usual preparations a , gun
was fired : he awoke with the report,
and found that a noise' in the adjoin

produced the dream and awakened
him. A friend of Dr. AbOrcrombi&

A notice of death in last wk's
Mercury brings again to mind a de
cninstance that happened liver twen
y-five.years ago.. I was on an °lent
il) !mural= in do Davies
county night overbill* . me
end be ing afraid of getting into a
mineral hole, Istopped at the first
place nlfi3ruig, whie - h proved to be
the log house of a charcoal burner.
The good wife busied herself in get
ting my supper whilst I took care of
my horse. In the morning after
breakfast (the man - having gone to
the coal pit) I asked for my bill, Ltd
the landlady refused to receive any
thing ; she sent her ,boy to the shed
with me to' get my horse, and I con
cluded, as she would take no pay, to
give the boy a dollar. • The boy was
less than half-grown, and wore a pair
of -tow pants, notched about two 'tidi
es deeb by %veer nrotind the bottoni,
a shirt 'of the same material sewed to
his pants, barefoot, a hat through
the crown of- which his hair protrud
ed, and • everything, including face;
hands and feet; the color a charcoal
burner's rem -would be, if not freshly
washed. The folio • day this lad,
without any change of and car
rying an earthen_ jug, minus the ban
dle, by a string tied around its neck,
to came in to my once, the dol-.
ler -in hand, saying he wished me
buy something with it, as if it was
known he had it, it would be taken
frOm him to fill the jug next time.
I looked at him , thmEng he would
.want a hat or shoes,iand asked him
what I should get With it. He -an
swered that he -wanted a slate, pencil
and an arithmetic, but did not lmow
whether his money-would by all. I
went out, got what he wished, and
rolling up some paper and pens with
them gave them to him. -
Many
. times" after I noticed him
come into my office..when'a trial was
progressing, slip his jug under the
seat, cross his legs in front to keep it
out of sight, and listen for 'inure to
the lawyers. I lost sight of him for
a season, until my son coming bottle
from Mount Morris Seminary, inform
ed me he was there at school. When
next I heard from him' was after I
came to California ; he Was a partner
of a lawyer I knew' in Galena. The
next I noticed was in z anlllinois-, pa
per that he was a Douglass Ele ctor;
then after that he had gone South in
the army. .
I afterwards saw a dispatch from
him that we, had taken- Vicksburg,
signed by hiin as Adjutant General,
he being then on Grant's staff. I
now see by your last week's paper
that the Secretary of War is dead.—
And this. Secretary of War was the
boy with the tow-cloth breeches. 'Who
can fail to love , a country whose
workings allow the most obscure to
attain its highest positions ? So young
too! What might he not have reach

ripe old age? One object in noting
this, was for the encouragement of
the young.. Boys, if this boy with
opportunities certainly less than most

why not you?
THE YOUNG POSTMASTER
Abraham Lincoln - was owe post
master in the small village lof New '
Salem, "out West." He then went
to Springfield to study law, and for
years had herd work to earn his
bread and butter.. Fighting_ with
poverty is a hard fight. One day a
post-office agent came round to col
lect a banana). due the Washington
office from the . New Salem office.
The' bill was $17.60: Dr. Henry, a
friend of "poor abe," happenedto fall '
in with the agent, and was as sure as
sure couldhe that he bad nothing in
his pockets to pay itwith. He went,
therefore, to the office, in order to
lend,him the money, or offer to lend
When the agent presented the
draft, Lincoln asked the :man to sit
down, and sat down hir4elf, with a
'very puzzled look upon his face." He
then stepped_ out, went over to his
boarding house, and came back- with
an old stocking under his arm. This
he untied; arid:txmred out upon, the
table n quantity of small silver coin
and, "red cents." • These they count
ed; and found exactly $17.60, just
the amount called for; and, moreover,
it was the vety money called for, for
on leaving the office, the young post
master tied np the money, and had
kept it by him; itwaitingi t he legal call
to give it up. .
On paying it over, "I never use,"
said he, "even for a time, any money
that is not mine. This money, I
*new, belonged to 'the government
;and I had no right to exchange or
use it for any purpose of my own."
That is the right and true ground
to take. If the money is entrusted
to your care, never touch it, never
use it. lam not now talking about
' cheating or stealing, but taking wed
using money.with the intention of re
turning' it. Money in trust should
always be kept 'apart from all your
own business; and held sacred. By
neglecting 'this, and not making good
She deficiency When pay day came,
many a man has lost the confidence

indeed, no harm in just using it. It
is easier; perhaps, to use than to keep
it; easy enough, too, one may - think
make it good when called for. All
this shows how naturally one can
slide into loose habits. If anybody,
had a good excuse for using $17.60 of
government money, Mr. Lincoln had

Mark Twain a cap#al story.
Thirekt one of hiskaat:
"One day when I and my -brother
went into the wotyls, ballot a chick
en-hawk and a crow"
and while we
were 16 -in the albedo - udder a
tree he I the tam out of the
birds, and theeround , and
talking, he finally fooling
built the crow's
tail into the chicken-hawiletransom.
When we saw what a, neat job it was
we thought we would keep it. When
we got home we were late for supper
and we just dropped it on the porch
and raised in. We had usort of
hope that the old man and
tine .
our would get bit With it any
way, because they were always pot
tering over geology , natural history,
or something they didn't know any
thing-Amt. we were at sup
per, they came along and found the
bird, and we heard them discussing
it and talking all sorts of 'astonish - -
meat. Directly_ the-old man came
in having the bird by the leg, and
sap: •
• "Boys, where did yon get , this
bird?"
"Shot him in the Woods,uir."
"Did you ever come across any
bird like , this around here before?"
"No sir, this is the dist." i
" Boys do yon know what you've+
done ? You've discovered somethiig
that will male you known every
where. The bird is of a new species. '
And then he walked.. out, And we
heard him and uncle collude that
they. would label it with their own
names and send it to Professor Hig
enbaum, at Albany. Pretty soon
though, the old man took hold of the
tail and it pulled out; and we heard
both of them swear & little. .When
we came out the bird was lying on
one side of the fence and the tairon
'the other. We did not dare to laugh,
nor let on about hearing their talk;
either.
But about a month after this there
came along one of the rattiest speci
mens of a boy you—ever saw, and
wanted to stop with us. He was all
rags and tatters, :and tired out:with
numing away from pis master some
where. His shirt was
.hanging at
half-mast through his trousers, and
two-thirds of the . tail was a piece of
blue flannel that hid been - sewed on.
While the poor devil was eating his
dinner, uncle and the old man were
studying what they had better du
with him. And finally they said,
"By George ! they didn't know what
to do with Wm." , Just then the boy
rose and . swung his colors in view;
and brother Bob says:
"Father, you might send him to
Pitofessor Hagenbatun, at Albany."
It wan the first the Old_man knew
we had overheard the bird talk, and
so he whaled us lxith. He says, "11l
learn you to play jokes on your old
father."
HOW BONE OP 0178 MEBOILUITS
HAVE RDIFJ. '
' A few yeaWago, a brge drug firm
in this city adiertised for a boy. Next
day the store waiethronged with ap
plicanti, among them a quaer-looking
little fellow, accord 'ed by a- wom
an, who proved to V his aunt, in lieu
of faithless parents, by whomhe had
been abandoned. Looking-at this
little waif, the merchant in the store
promptly said: "Can't taijce him; plac
es-all ball! besides, he iot - too . small."
"I know •he is small," said the wom
an, "but he is willing and faithful."
There was a twinkle in the bby's eyes
which made . the merchant think
again. A partner in the firm vohm.-
teered to remark that he "did not
see what they wanted of zilch a boy
—he wasn't bigger than a pint of ck
der 1' But after consultation the boy
was set to work.
' A. few days after a cell- was made
on the boys m the store for some one
to stay all night. The prompt -re- ,
sponse of the fellow contrasted
well with the reluctance of others. In
the middle of the night the merchant
looked in to see if all was' right in
the store, and presently '. discovered
his youthful protege• busy sennoring
labels. "What are you doing?" said
he. "I did not tell you to work
nights." "I know you did not tell
- me so, but I thou ght I mig ht'as well
doingbe something." In the morn
ing the cashier got orders to "doub
le that boys wages, for he is willing."
Only soweeks elapsed before a
show of ieasta passed !through
the' streets, and very naturally all
hands in the store rushed to witness
the spectacle. A thief saw histirpor
tunity, and entered at a rear_door to
seize something, but in a twinkling
found himself clutched by the dimin
utive clerk aforesaid, and, after a
struggle was captured. Not only
was a robbery prevented, but Tali*.
ble articles taken from - other stores
were recovered. When asked by the
merchant why he staid behind to
watch when all others quit , their
work,
-the reply -was, 'Tort told me
never to leave the store when others
were absent, and-I thought I'd stay."
Orders were immediately given once
morel: "Double that boy's wages; he
is willing aridfaiWut." To-day that
bOy is getting II salary of $2,500, and
next January will become a member
of the firm.—The Republic. •

One great cause of the poverty of
the present day is, the failure of the
common people to affrma. te small
things. They feel that if they cannot
save large sums :they will not save
anything. They. do not realise how'
a daily addition, belt ever so small,
will soon make a large pile. If the
young men and young women of to
day only will b ee f , and :begin now,
to save a little from , their earnings,
and plant it in. the soil of some good
savings.bank, and weekly or monthly
add their mite, they will wears hap
py smile of confidence' and Word
iince.when they reach middle
Not only the pile itself will increase,
but the 'desire and ability to increase
it will grow. Let clerk and trades
man, laborer and artisan, make now
and at once a beginning Store up
some of ,our y . outhfol force and v igor
for contingencies. Let parents teach
their children to begin early to save.
Begin at the fountain-head. to control
the stream of a:franc:awe, and then
work will be easy. To choose 'be
tween poverty andriches. Let your
youth go on in habits of extravagance;
for fiftyyears to come, as they have
!or fifty years past, and we shall be a
. .ustion ofbeggarswith a moneyed az
isteicraey. Let a generation of such
as save 'unmet( siimalbe reared, and
we shall be free from irant. Do not
be ambitious for extravagant fortunes,
but do 'seek. that whieltia the duty ; of
every one to obtain, independence
and a comfortable home. Wealth
and enough is within the reach of all.
-It is obtainable by one process,' and
by only one-saving.
A Wise understanding of the fa*s
of onr being will show, unmistakably„ the expe
diency of right Ind thu folly of wrong. If (or
bone is but temporary and integrity eternal,
how inconsistent to exchange tbe hitter for the
