(lifilculties a young man etcounters in hiq •' teens," and some times the matter is potrioneil to a later pe riod,:is the selection of ti business for him- self.t So many relati4s`.and friends, to say nothing of the scores of advisers, are to be , consulted, and so many 'important interests to be weighed,: that 4 trade or profession Might sometimes 'well uigli be learued, while deliberations aou . t. it 4elpending. Few persons but liavd a natural bias fo9 <--s• some particular kit of occupation, and though we would be far from counseling that a young man or hpyl should, in all cases, be allowed to pursue t:1 - 4 bent ofhis own in clinations, or suffered to!please himself only in the choice of his ocetipation, still there is often much'wisdom parentslstudying . the dispositions of their Children, and thereby being able'. it expedien , to second rather than oppose the turn" of their minds. 'The chief difficulty with parents often times is pride. They 'forget to measure their own importance in. the community by the humble beginnings, :arid the years of -labor and economy by whiCh l it has been secured. They desire still higher advancement for their children, but unfortunately neglect to school them in thti Principles of industry and application, the! only sure means to attain that object. The son perhaps inherits all the business qualities of the father, and would make an excelietit salesman or a hist rate• mechanic. hut a very poor doctor or an ordinary lawyer. Hence, by his education for the latter, he loses the chalices of both, I and becomes good for nothing in either sit uation. We are glad however to perceive that a gradual. - though decided, change is working in this false. pride of :American parents. And it is to be hoped that in afew years out country Will be as highly distin guished for the superior excellence of its mechanics, and the ehterprising character of its business men, as it is now remarkable for the great number of Pibfessional young men with which it is over-Spoded. Another difficulty lte4 with the young men themselves. Among the many mistaken notions they entertain,i none is more com mon than an exaggerated estimate of their own abilities. A young man imagines him seltau orator, and straightway 'betalies him. I self to the ministry or law. He is Ashamed of an humble though honest occupation—he I aims at something - more honorable. Alas! how many a valuable (life has either becu entirely lost or shatnefu perverted by that same word honor This self-esteein is lau dable enough in its place, but when it leads its possessors' into extravagant notions of themselves and an inferior opinion of others., it becomes intolerable. 1 Young men are apt to view their elders and themselves with just such a dis.turtion#trades and business' for their fathers—profe'ssions fur ihemselves. Vie would by no mean , be understood as underrating the legroed professions. Far from it ; no one holdsLthein in higher esti- , mation. But we would have every young man choose an occupation suited to his na . tural taste and abilitieS, and not according to the foolish notion that a trade is disrepu - - table, or that the mere distinction of a profes sional title makes the man better or more worthy of respect. - The mechanic and the lawyer or the doctor stand-on the same broad platform in this country of Democratic In stitutions, and the one' may render himself as worthy of respect and eminence as the other. Our gmiernmeat is no "resp Peter of persons."

CVIIAN INVASION. PRESIDENT FILLMORE'S PROCLAIUTION The contemplated invasion against Cuba, has assumed an aspect stifficiently ominous, to require prompt measures, on the part of uur Government, for its suppression. .Presis dent Fillmore has issued the following Proc lamation for that purpose. This is the secs ond.expedition'of a similar character that has been undertaken during the present adminii! tration. We cannot too much admire the promptness and decision of the President and his predecessor, to prevent an expedition so disreputable to out government : WrrEnEss, there is reason to believe that a - Military is about to be fitted out in the United States, with intention to invade the Island of Cuba, a colony of Spain, with which this country is at peace ;.and whereas it is believed that this expedition is instigated and set on foot chiefly by foreigners, who dare to make our shores the scene : of "their guilty and hostile preparations against a friendly power, and seek, by falsehood dud misrepresentation, to seduce our own citizens, e4pecially the young and inconsiderate, into their wicked schemes—an-ungrateful return for the benefits .conferred upon them by this people in permitting them to make our coup , try an asylum from oppression, and a flagrant abuse of the hospitality thus extended to them And whereas such expeditions can only be'' regarded as adventures for plunder and rob berg, and must meet the condemnation-of the civilized world; whilst they are derogatory to the character of our country, in violation of the laws of nations, and expressly prohibited by our own. -.Our statutes declare "that. if 1 " any person shall, within the territory 'or, jurisdiction.of the United States, begin or " set on foot, or priivide or prepare the means 44 for-any military expedition or-enterprise, " to be carried- on from 'thence against, the 44 territory or dominions of any foreign Prince "ar State or of' any colony , district, or peo -44 ple, witiVl.toin the United States are at " peace, every person so offending shall be 44 deemed guilty of a high misdemeanor, and " shall be fined not exceeding three thousand " dollars. and imprisoned notmore than three " years." - Now, THEREFORE, I have issued this, Mr paom..kmtvioN,warning all persons who shall connect themselyes with any such enterprise or expedition, in violation of our laws and national obligations, that they will thereby subject themselves to the heavy penalties de nounced against such offences, and will forfeit their claim to the protection of this Govern ment, or any interference on their behalf, no matter to what extremities they may be re duced in consequence of their illegal conduct. And, therefore, I exhort all good citizens, as they regard our national reputation, as they respect their own laws and the laws of na tions, as they value the blessings of peace and the welfare of their country, to-discoun tenance, and by all lawful means preveht, any such enterprise: and I call upon every offirer of this Government, civil ur military, to use all efforts in his power to arrest for trial and punishment every such offender against the laws of the country.

MILLARD FILLMORE By the President : W. S. DERRICS, Acting Secretary of State. Susi'icious.—The Steamer Cleopatra has been lying at New York, heavily loaded it is supposed. for the Cuban expedition.— She Was accordingly seized some days since by the proper authorities, and will be detain ed until her mysterious intentions are satis factorily explained. In addition to instructions given' to the Untied States Marshalls and other officers, the vessels of the home squadron have been ordered to cruise in such a way as to render any attempt to reach Cuba almost, if not wholly impossible. The following persons were arrested . at New York on Saturday for being concerned in this expedition: John L. O'Sullivan, ( son-in-law of Dr. Kearny Rogers ;) Wm. T. Rogers, jr.. (neph. ew of Dr. Rogers ;) Captain • Lewis, captain of the steamboat Cleopatra, and formerly cap tain of the Creole in the former expedition ; Major Louis Schlesinger, one of the Hunga rian patriots : Dr. Daniel H. Burtriett, an old resident of New York ;, and Pebru Sanches, a Spaniard. CC P' OUTRAGE.--The Norristown Herald notices an attack made upon a watchman while on duty, about the Nail Works of Messrs. Schall & Dewees of that place. The hands have been on a strike for some two weeks past. in consequence of an anticipated reduction of wages. Others were subse quent!) engaged in their stead, but were persuaded to leave soon after. A third set was then employed, but the proprietors were obliged to secure the services of the police, to protect them while on duty. The watch• man alluded to, was struck on the face by a heavy piece ofeinder, thrown, it is supposed, by some of the " striking" party. 117• A CURIOSITY.—The ;West Chebter Record tells the story of a suspicious looking half•dollar,lately in the posession of the edi tor.

The old man's property lately fell into the hands of his heirs, who are distributing the carefully kept and curious half-dollars for public inspection. r BY wit ACT of the late Legislature, the people of Betbs county will hereafter' use a single Ticket, at their Elections, instead of a separate piece of paper for each candiaate.— This is a commendable regulation, one which it were desirable to • imitate throughout the State. It would save much trouble and manv - mistak&.

May Ist, 18.51 7 SUPERSTITION REGARDING , FRIDAY It is strange enough that,Friday is regarded, in all countries, as a peculiar day. In Eng land it is considered unlucky, arid many peo ple will not commence au. undertaking on that day : and most sailors believe that the vessel is sure to be wrecked that sails on a Friday. If a marriage takeplace on that day, the old wives shake their heads, and predict all kinds of misfortunes to the bride :yid bridegroom • nay, even pity all children who are so unlucky as to be born on Friday. In Germany, on the contrail., Friday is consid ered a lucky day for weddings, commencing new undertakings, or rather memorable? , events: and the reason of this superstition is said to be the ancient belief that the witches and sorcerers held their meeting on this day and of course, while they amused themselves with dancing and riding on broothsticks round the Blocksberge, they could haveno.time to work any evil.

S. Boundary Coin iiiusuon,--et- El Paso, gi ves the' following „ biteiageni account of the customs of the fettple m. that The chief attraction at the Fiesta were the ball-fights and gambling. Vie greater part' of the plaza was occupied ' by the arena', enclosed by a paling - of poles, around which boxes for spectators were erected at a safe height. These were rented to those who chose to pay, and the million crowded around below them, and hung upon The paling.— The crowd was immense, and assembled long before the fight, ComMenced. At noon the church bells tolled the Angelus, and instant ly, the'crowd uncovered and 'remained silent until thelast stroke of the bell, when shouts and calls of tore'. toro showed that the dine had arrived for the sport tmbegin4— In the arena 'were some five or six fighters, dressed in fanciful costume—one of them as a clown—and three or four horsemen, with lariats. The bull, after' having the tips of his horns sawed off, was let in. Ile was greeted by shouts andyells, and stood for a dine evidently . astonished -at the sensation he was creating; - then making a rush at an over-venturesome fellow who preferred the inside of the paling to the outer, he, gave' him a toss some twenty feet into the air, and their another, and the man fell, to all appearances, dead. This was of course, highly - diverting to .the bystanders. The, man was pulled °Wand, I believe, recover ed with the loss of &few ribs. The:figh ting, which is nothing more thaw torturing tue bull, is done with landillerop These are rods, a foot or foot and a half long, with a barbed spear in one end, and the whole fancifully ornamented with cut gilt and col ,.red papers. The torero takes a small red flag, attracts thetetention of the bull, which rushes towards - him : he jumps one side to let the animal pass, iatiertiog the bandillero as it goes by. The more skilful take a ban-. diner° in each hand, and insert both at once. The skill of the torero is rewarded by mo ney thrown from the spectators. The clown"had a hole in the centre of the arena, into hich be could drop completely out of sight. He nude a deal of- sport by inducing the bull to chase him, and drop ping suddenly into the earth, much to the astonishment of the tom, and the delight of the multitude. When a bull was so tired as to refuse to attack, the horsemen threw a lariat around his legs and threw him down, and he was dragged out to make room for another.. The same thing was repeated day after day, to the undiminished crowd of spectators. The whole, thing, if it were not so cruel, would be farcical, for the bulls were poor, stupid things, with_ no more spunk than a cow. A good, well fed Yankee bull would have cleared the ring very shortly. Around the sides of the plaza were arran ged booths for the sale of agupdiente—a do mestic whiskey of horrible strength and flavor—mezfel, a sort of paregoric made ut aguadient and aniseed, and paso wine—most of which tastes like sweetened vinegar—and booths for gambling. All sorts of eames were in operation, but the only ones knew the names of, were monk and chaza. The latter seemed to be the 'favorite , - It is a circular! table, some five or six feet in diameter, with' ' a rim round it concave, so that a ball will roll to the centre ; near the centre are placed i a number of brass cuplike affairs; these are placed equally around the centre and have their mouths upwards. The game is played by throwing eight: brass balls with a whirling motion into the table, and they -go gyrating towards the centre. The play ers bet whether pairs of odd numbers will be caught in the cups. It is entirely a game of chance, and a very stupid one too, but I have seen hundreds of dollars change hands in a few minutes at it. Everybody gambles diming the feast days. As many women as men crowd the tables, and the priests stake their pesos with the rest. There are even small games for children, and I have seen mothers lead their children to them and aired' their tiny fingers where to place 'the cuartillo. The passion for play seems as deep rooted as it is universal. Instances are not rare of men who stake their liberty for three or four years upon a game of chance —it they lose, becoming the peons of the • I winner. es G. K. S The St Louis Republican publishes the re ports of the Directors of the Pacific Railroad Company, made at its meeting on the 31st of March. . . . . Since the organization of the Company, in Match of the previous year, instrumental surveys have been made' of three routes to the Gasconade river, all of which are practi cable; but the line has been located for only about forty miles, it being Imadvisable to de cide upon the route until another attempt is made to obtain of Congress a donation of land towards the construction of the road. The portion located is estimated at about $l,OOO. 000, ineludinT lands for building at St Louis. land damages, superstructure, building ma chinery, and cars. The amount of privqte subscriptions to the stock thus far is $544,100, and by cities and counties ssl4,ooo—making atotal 4,21,158,- 100, leaving $341,900 to be obtaiSed to se cure the issue of bonds it . , its favor by the State. The law for that purpose, as it passed typrovided that when $1,500,- rpany's stock had been sub r.

POE CROUP. A medical correspondent of the gew York girror predicts that five hundred children will die of this disease, during the changeable weather of the spring season. - For preventa- , tives he recommends a mustard poultice, or ' a flannel dipped in turpentine, or spirits of hartshorn to the throat, and nauseating doses of Hive syrup,:lo-be continued as long as the cough remains. The croup is a terrible di sease ; but the above medication is not much better: Those applications to the throat are sure to render the part more susceptible to colds in - future; and nauseating with Hive syrup, which is strongly charged !with that deadly drug; antimony, is about as effectual .a method ofdestroying the stomach as could be devised: If a cough continues several weeks, as is frequently the use, and the do ting is kept up, the whole system is certain to be pretty thoroughly,poisoned. There are at leaska thousand netter,Ways of managing colds and coughs in children. Water-Care folks only need wet cloths to the neck and chest, with general bathing, or the wet sheet pack on the access of fever. On the attack ollcroup, the cloths to the throat must be very cold and very often-renewed, and the full general treatment promptly resorted to, as for a general fever. 111:7" TAE WHEAT CROP IN MICHIGAN AND INDIANA.—An extract of a letter, dated Stur ges, St. Joseph county, Michigan, says: " The report circulating East, relative to a probably small wheat crop this season in Michigan, is wholly without foundation:— The prospects for a very heavy crop were never so favorable, in this State or Indiana, as at the present time. Our road will groan this season with the freight. We are run T sing down any quantity of wheat and flour now,and I think the new crop will come in as soon as the old is off, if pot before." - IP"A gusit.—On Monday afternoon, about 4 o'clock:a collision took place on the Reading' Railroad, at Bridgeport, opposite Norristown. The locornotive Florida; on the route up with empty coal. cars, stopped at the depot to permit the " fast line " to pass, and while in :this position, was intil tato by the locomotive Maine, coming down with a train ofcars.
