—lnstead of proceeding directly to

cluded to accept the invitation of Mr.
Robert, Mayor of Sheffield, to-accom
pany him on a brief visit to Douglas,
in the Isle of Man. So, crossing the
Lake, we were-soon winding our way
along the banks of the Seven, by
coach, toward Morecambe Bay. The
morning was pleasant and without
oppressive heat; the roads admirable
and profusely shaded, amid the most
agreeable scenery, • diversified by
glens, woods, waters, leVel meadows
and cultivated fields, with quaint old
buildings, from the church and cot,

This beautiful region is known as
Fraress—jsome 25 miles in extent, to
Lake Windermere, and being a por
tion of Lancashire, isolated from the
remainder by 3lorecambe Bay. At
low tide, the waters of the sea nearly
or quite forsake this inlet, and the
wide extent of its yellow sands form
a strange and peculiar feature of the
landscape. The passage across them
of some miles, when the tido is out,
is often made, though hazardouS.
Arriving at Furness Station, the
brief pc-riod of our awaiting the arri
val of the railway train was improv
ed by an inspection of the majestic
rains of Furness Abbey in t 4 vicini
ty. Their site is at the footW. a de 7

iginally a front of about 217 ° feet, and
in the stateliness and elegance of its
. proportions would seem to corres
pond. rather to the idea of some ad-
mired Grecian temple—some ruin of
Tedium. or Palmyra, than to a mo
nastic erection Of the twelfth century
in England.
Thegrandeur of the ruins corres
ponds well, however, to the original
power and wealth of the institution.
In addition to the rich valley of Bor
rowdale and other extensive domains,
the Monks of Furness Abbey were
endowed with the proceeds, even then
very valuable, of all. the lead mines
in the Isle of Man. The Abbey was
erected about the year 1127, by Ste
pheri, 'then an. Earl, and subsequent
ly King of England), upon a penin
sula formed by the rivers Duddon
and Seven. But the breeze is stir
ring, and-these ancient walls, already
projecting like the Tower of Pisa,
make it merely a question of time -as
to their final prostration ; the scream
of the railway monster, too, summons
us and we must away. With a sud
den farewell to the loveliness and
grandeur of fair Furness, we are
whirled off to th 6 town of Peel, on
the sea-coast, where we take the
steamer for Douglas.

and in lie manner, the town of Peel
above mentioned, is not 'the town of
Peel situated on the,western shore of
the Isle of Man; and which I soon
after visited:.
Plum No. 1: is principally notice
able for its extensive manufactory of
steel and iron : great abundance of
the'latter ore being found amid thb
hills and dales of Furness.
Once more upon the briny wave,
with a westward course, and I could
almost have 'fancied myself upon the
homeward route. Three hours, amid
a moderate fall of rain, sufficed how
over, for our passage across the Chan
nel, and' the bold headlands which
guard -the crescent-shaped ..bay of
Douglas, loomed' up before us. We
landed upon the magnificent pier,
projecting some 500 feet into the
harbor, and which was thickly crow
ed with people somewhat to my ear
prise, as Lwas not then aware of the
great numbers of seekers after health
and pleasure, who visit the' place es
pecially during Summer. In the mar
ket square, as we passed toward the,
Myal Hotel, was a dense crowd list
ening to the oratory of a street
preacher.
The ease, carelessness and lack of
ceremony, which characterizes the
"floating population" of this and
most other -English watering places
are decidedly and nov remarkable
(though not unplo
.nnt) features to
the stranger. Tien, women and chil
dren of various rank mingle together
in crowds, without special attempt at
.display or ostentation either in dress
or manner, and all apparently dis
pbsed to enjoy themselves alike
without interference or its apprehen
sion.
Douglas has a number of extensive
and finely situated hotels for the ac
commodation of her visitors, who are
attracted 'hither by the salubrity of
the atmosphere and the remarkable
clearness of the sea water. Great
muubcrs of families, LoWever, are ac
commodated with snits of furnished
rooms in various parts of the town :
for rent and care of whivii, to
getlicr with cooking theirmeals, (the
niaterial for which they nut unconi
iwnil::- order fur themselves in the
rket) a moderate price_l:4 paid, cy
dinarily from '2 , 1 to .10 shillings Et*.
ling per week.
Thus, while released from most, of
the cares of domestic life, the family
circle may here still. enjoy its own
freedom and seclusion.
I had indulged in a vague idea of
finding upon these shores a simple
and primitive race •of people, re
taining to a considerable degree their
own uriginal customs, dialect and
manners. Fifty years ag?, and these
may have prevailed sufficiently to re
ward the curiosity of r. traveler's ob
servations, but the influx from other
portions of Her Majesty's derail:di:lns
has since been so great, that the ISle
of Man, as such, is now for the most
part, merely the play of Hamlet with
the part . of Hamlet omitted. The
Manx language, fortherly the mediute
of laws, schools and worship; is at
this time seldom heard, even in the
interior dibtriets ; and ere long it
may, perhaps, be difficult to find a

After passing a day at Douglas, I
resolved to undertake by way of vari
ety, a pedestrian tour through. a part
at least of the island: and according
ly sallied forth in the gray dawn, my
destination being the town of Peel,
some twelve miles ' distant, on the
western coast of the island. A mile
or two out, I reached the old church
of Kirk Braddon, deeply embowered
in shade, and surrounded by tombs,
some of modern magnificence, others
by their own antiquity, attesting that
of this ancient sanctuary. There re
stone crosses and columns bearing
Runic inscriptions, which have- been

—Proceeding onward, I observed
froth the vicinity of the Union Mills,
an extensive edifice in process of erec..

for a Lunatic Asylum. Rather, how
ever, than for any Public Institution
of this sort, did I feel inclined to en
quire for a Wayside Inn : as• mine
host of the " - Hen. and Chickens"
with whom I had proposed breakfast
ing, assured me that his better-half
was sick in bed ; found'it was all
ho conhi do to cook for himself, and
suggested that I had better go farther,
as I could not possibly fare worse.
This was a clear case of reckoning ]
without one's host. A slight share
oven incidentally, in the misfortunes
of others has sometimes a tendency
to quicken one',o sympathies ; and

T6'YOUNG MEN---LIV E HONESTLY:
BY HE WARD BLTCHER
Every young man, as he enters up
on life; should take an account with
himself, mad decide in liis own mind
upon the course which he will pur
sue.. should ask himself ! "Will
I enter upon a course in Which I can
render a- fair equivalent for every
thing that I obtain? or will I
.enter
upon coarse in which, for. the
things that I receivv, I. shall render
an equivalent wht::re I inust, and
palm off empty app - ,trances where I
can ?" It is a glo: ions ambition, - a
manly purpose, with which a person
begins life, when he goes forth say
ing : " I mean to make -my .fortune,
to be sure, and to pluck honor from
the highest boughs of -the tree of life;
but I am determined not to go one:
step in honor or, wealth or power
that is not a_real step: What I have
I will pay for. I will'not take any
thinc, without - giving a fair equiva- .
lent for it." And _what a contrast
there is between this and the ambi
tion and purpose of those Who set
out in life with a determivation *to
make their fortune and gain honor at
all hazards, by whatever means it
may he necessary to employ, and
without regard to whether they ren
der an equivalent for that'which they
*receive or not ! -
A young man delicately reared, is
sent into life, and he goes into a 'shop
where he finds many companions,
and where unfortunately, the stron
gest-minded men are not the sweet—
est-hearto. And - all around abort
him the conversation is low.; the al
lusions are coarse, the% expressions
aro vulgar.• The things that in liOnie
life lie never dared 'to shape into
words; or even, are freely hail- -
dled for the purpose 'of exciting
laughter. l'Covv,)under such cireum ,
stances, a man may lose sensibility
to these things. At first he. is`shock
ed and sick. I have known persons
of an organization - so delicate, that
this violence done to their moral and
social feelings amounted to absolute
- sickness of body. • But that cannot
continue. In the course of a . month
a young man will get used to obsceni
ty in one of two ways. If he set his
heart against it; if he calls - the memo..
ry of all that he loves to his help '; if
his whole conscience bears witness ;
if he makes a covenant with his lips,
and seta his heart to watch over its
issues, then little by little he will
come to a state in. which hoar
obsCene talk as 'though he did net
hear it. And he comes out better
than he went in, 'although ho suffers
less by the outward -contact of cor
ruption than in the beginning. He
has carried himself in such a way
with reference to it, that it has work
ed out in him moral &ray.
I was.called once to a consultation
in reference to.a - young man belong
ing to a large establishment, who was
detected in some criminal act • ana
in a confidential interview that I had
with him, ho told me that it was not
because he was in need that he yield
ed to the temptation, but because he
wanted property. •Tfis dishonesty'
_was_simply the result of avarice. And
if a young man abuses his trnst, , sand
is dishonest, there is.. not a word to
be said in his justification.
There aro temptations to disbc,n
'esty, then, that.sring frora extrava
gance.. Our society is. Very vicious
in its whole structure in this regard.
We make no provision for the retpec
tability,of people Who are in humble
circumstances. We hold out induce
ments to them to live beyond their
means.:
Young people want to begin fur
ther along than - they are, able to.
They,want to keep house as twenty
years of successful and fruitful indus
try have enabled other men to do it.
They measure everything on the pat
tern of somebody els&
TI% - n are many young men who
have enough• tg support them ; bat
that is not all they, want. They have ,
bad companions with whom they as
sociate..-These companions arc not
very temperate. They smoke ; and
so, of course, they drink. I do not
mean that among all men that smoke,
drinkingis a handmaid Vice ; but I
say that smoking leads, or tends to
lead, to the other , vice. Atid smok
ing and drinking - nre . very expensive:
Young men are very apt to reason
the question of dishonesty with them
selves, and to justify themselves by
he examples which they. see around
about them of men who stand emi
nent, trtu3ted,•and of good reputation,
and who yet do dishonest things.. A.
young man is apt to Say : "It is no
worse for me to follow such and such
conrses than 'it is for others ; and
than that do follow them stand
loved and respected." • •
I will admit that there are many
then who stand high, and for' a time
have a certain kind of _respectability
and prosperity, though they do dis-
1)11)
I i t
r
!honest things; but I say this : Yon
-cannot afford to _be like them. There
is nothing else. in this world that is
of so unich consequence to you, as
'that you should keep peace with
your own self. _Blessed be the man
that can say, as the apostle did, "I
- tract that I lia,Ve a good conscience?'
Blessed be the man that has lived.
till lie is thirty-years of - age, and can
say, " N lzavAb conscience," that
".lis, v . e a *
• gly do anythtiag
that violates nay conscience. God
knows that , it is my purpose to live
at peace with any - conscience."
A man cannot afford to thxdvi
away the. blessing of a. good con
science: And it makes no diffeFene
that your neighbor„is prospering by
dishonesty, and people hate not
found him out. If you are - dishonest
you know it .yourself, , ,und that_ is
enough. And there ought to be a
principle of honor with every' young
man 'that should-lead him to sat :
"Even if God could not see me when
I 'did wrong,,l should see myself, and
self-respect and manhood require
that I should do right."

.
A man somewhat past, middle life,
but whose yearsdo not imply 'senile
decay, becomes: unfit for business,
fidgety, irritable, depressed, or even
melancholic to the extent of insanity.
We bear that he has been a hard
working man of business, always ner
vous and very probably an indifferent
sleeper. Being most heavy for - sleep

latest moment, - and ; . snatching a

2 RARING THE TABLE CLOTH.
"Mercy .on us ! Carrie; where did
all these pieces of bread and cheese,
of cake and sandwiches, dried beef
and pie, come from? gilt:nigh to make
some hungry child a meal." '
Carrie looked out of the window. It
was her father who had spoken. He
was standing on the icy pavenient,
before the door ; regarding her curl- .
ously.
"Oh!" said she," it is where shook
out the table-cloth." "
. "Where you shook out the table
cloth my daughter !" .
Carrie 's mother was a very careful
woman; but she had been sick 'al day
or two,. and the work . had been 4one ,
by Carrie. :
• Her father was all ready for. a Walk.
his over-coat - buttoned to the chin,
his fur cap drawn over his• ears; and
`an umbrella, in his hand ; but he turned
and camo back into the house, and
sat down. Carrie knew that lec
ture was coming. Now like most
little . girls, and some larger ones, she
was not fond of lectures; but in the
present Casoit could not:be helped;
and she knew she deserved it; so she
submitted with the best possible
grace.graCe.
. ,
"My daughter if Sou waut,logrow
up to be a careful, prudent woman,
and do honor to your mother's train
irg, you lutist be careful how, you
gl.ake yoUr table cloth. - Many a man,
despite his hard toil and labor; - has
. been kept a poor man . for life, just
because his wife did not know how
'to shake her table 7 cloth.
..• .
If you grant to have something to
help the poor and needy, the aged
and infirm, and such as . are not able
to take care of themselves; whom the
Savior:said we shall always have with
us; and whensoevei we would we
might_ do them good,,be careful how
you shake your tablo-cloth.
If you would have means for doing
good in any of the many ways that
aro always at- , hancl ;. if you would
have: something to lay by for a sick'
or rainy day; if you would have
money to buy books and other good
reading, thatyou may be able to store
your mind with useful knowledge, be
careful how you shake your table
cloth.
In short, if you. want, when you
come to be a woman; . and begin life
for yourself, to have things comforta
ble around you,
_find be independent
and enjoy a competence, you- - must
Uri careful how you shake your table,
cloth."
Qua life, our spiritual and eternal
life depends on , the truth of the
illonenient of our blessed Lord; for
we need not say, if that atonement
was a myth and not it reality,, wo
may defy any , man, however gigantic
iv intellect, or however deeply versed
an the mysteries of nature and con
vFrsant-with surrounding providenc
es, to point out with indubitable cer
tainty a way. in, which in may be
pardoned and the favor of the offend
