Human life is a series of developements, and at each period some new power is unfold ed ;new experiences are likewise added: by . 14 . 7 which means not only are old prejudices fre. *, quently corrected, but the errors of our former conduct exposed, condemned, and punished. L.. ..A Youth is proverbially rash, but the aged may show an equally dangerous rashness in hold • ing doggedly to old and worn-out notions.— Accustomed to venerate what has existed for generations without challenge, flte elder class of persons are prone to oppose the slightest attempt at rgodification, and they Suffer cc coangly. Many a warning, in the course of events, is received; yet age is obstinate, and tpersists in the old course—not because it is Tight, but . because it is old. The association of ideas, sympathy, determination of character, a sense of pride, while it recognises the peril, and other like motives, induce age to disregard the symptoms, and inspire it with courage to endure martyrdom; rather than incur the shame of a submission to change. Thus the invete rate controversialist will not confess a proven truth though convinced. Meditating these facts, we are sometimes tempted to believe, that if the prudence of ego could be added to the im pulse of youth, a great advantage might be gained for the individual. • But a difficulty ex ists against blending them in one and the same • person, Happy, ihowever,' is the;man who benefits bribe dear-bought experience of his elders; who, duly Influenced by the example of those who are not only aged, but also goo( and wise, has learned, without.suffermg,, whit' to avoid, and what to pursue. The counsel of a sage mentor in a parent, grandfather, or great uncle, cannot fail of being advantageous in ma ny important respects ; but on the other hand, there are many counterbalancing disadvanta ges; the young are entorprising-,the old pre fer safety to victory, peace to anxiety. In ad vising youth, old , persons accordingly regard rather the dangers to be escaped than the ob ject to be attained. This, in the way of cau tion, may, roust be well; but if it amount to coercion, even in the slightest degree, it can not fail to have evil consequences. If inaterul of persuading or'guiding the pidgement, it should substitute a control upon the volition of the;young, it will fatally preclude action, stop ' ping it *sits very source. We have not, in such a case, combination, but mere displace meat; young impulse is altogether put aside anti antique prudence takes exclusive posses. then Among the many advantages derived from a frequent intercourse with the world, may be mentioned a knowledge of character, to which we should otherwise be total strangers. We do not mean a knowledge of those characters only who are present, and with whom we converse, but of others who aro absent and become the topic of discourse io the existing Never yet was there a woman really im proved in attraction by mingling with the mot ley throng of the fashionable.

Jacob Lattig,Josoph Wertz and William J• Micke,were also Volunteer candidates for the Sheriff's office. We always feel like calling a man a fool, says the Pottstnwn Ledger, when we hear him talk about sending Edward and Thoma.ct to some select school or college, because of them he intends to make a lawyer or a doctor, whether they have any genius for the calling or not, while there is poor Jack in the corner, who is to be the firmer. If we enquire why not send Jack to college too, he exclaims, "Oh, Jack don't want any of 'school learning,' he's to be a farmer, its no use to him." No use for him, forsooth, when he is to follow the noblest occupation of all. The well-informed educa ted Farmer makes the best citizen the Repub lic can boast of, and is entitled to the same ed ucation bestowed upon the most favored. We agree in the eulogy bestowed upon the educa ted, and intelligent farmer, written by we know not whom, *hen he eloquently says :—"The man who stands open his own soil, who feels by the laws of the land in which he lives—by the law of civilized nations—he is the rightful and exclusive owner of the land which he tills, is by the constitution of our nature, under a wholesome influence, not easily imbibed from any other source. lie feels, other things being equal, more strongly than another, the charac ter of man as the lord of the inanimate world. 01 this great and wonderfol sphere, which lash lotted by the hand of God, and 'upheld by his power, is rolling timing!' the heavens, a por tion is his, his, from the centre s to the sky. It is the space on which the generations before him moved in its round of duties; and he feels himself connected by a risible link, with those who preceded him, and he is, also, to those who follow him, and to whom he is to trans mit a home. Perhaps his farm has come down to him from his fathers. They have gone to their last home; but he can trace their foot. steps over. the daily scene of 'his labors. The roof which shelters him, was reared by those to Whom he owes his being. Some interesting domestic tradition is connected with.every en closure.. The favorite frith was planted by his father's hand. Ile sported, in his boyhood, by the side of the brook, which still winds through the meadow. Through that field, lies the path to the village school of his earliest days. •He still hears from 'his Window, the voice of the Sabbath bell, which calls his lathers and his forefathers to the house of God; and near at hand is the spot where he laid his parents down to rest, and where he trusts, when his hour is come, he shall be dutifully laid by his children. These are the feelings of the owner of the soil. Words cannot paint them; gold cannot' buy them: they flow out of the deep est fountains of the heart ; they -are the life spring of a fresh, healthy, generode national • character. Honesty What is honesty? "To: pay .one's debts." Exactly so. No definition could be nearercor reetness. Always minding however, that there are other ledgers than :the trader's, that a man's . debts are not he calculated in.imunds, shillings ; and pence, It is not honestfor a man to Odle riorale hiicown nature, - to blighthis own heart, to 'enfeeble his mind, or even to neglect his physical culture. It is not honest in a woman to swear to love a roan when she only loxes his house and equipage; nor any honester for a man to purchase a woman as he would pur chase a beast. For everything has its certain value; and to pay that which is fairly due is the prerogative of honssty. It is not honest to make a poet an excise-officer ; any more than it is to steal a legislator's robes to throw them over the shoulders of a fool. It is not honest to preach one thing and to practice an other. It is not honest to.impoverist !pitman._ in order to enrich another. For honesty has the utmost respect for the rights of all. It is not honest to feel one thing and to say anoth er, or to say ore thing and to do another.— Alas, for our daily custom ! Do we not con tinually, bribed with the hope of some paltry money gain, or fearful of offence-giving, put on a pleasant smirk, and grasp with friendly zeal the hand whiCh wo despise? This is not holiest. Do we not lie daily for the sake of half-pence, and so pick men's pockets; and look lies for the sake of empty smiles and com pliments? This is not honest. Do not some of ns go about with cold sneering lips, as if we were of custom's frost-work, when our hearts are burning within us; making conven tional grimaces, and repeating formal cate chisms, when our inmost thoughts are strug, gling for utterance? But we should displease this friend, give advantage to some foe, be laughed at by some fool, be deemed rude by the world; and so.wo sell our hearts for the re wards of woddiness, and live, not like true men made in God's image, but rather like In tomato manufactured by custom's patent.

She affects to despise us, but fears rivalry from us, not only in our domestic trade, manufactures; &c., but in the - trade of the seas We all remember her undisguised hostility to the American pack et service, and the same course of proceeding is now being resorted to to cripple and drive off the American lines of steamers recently established. On the occasion of the late voy, age of the American steamer Atlantic, from Liverpool to. New York, the most unscruptdoUS efforts were made to deter passengers from em barking in her, and to injure the character of the ship. Cal. Webb, of the "Now York 'ln quirer," who came out in the Atlantic, in speaking of this low and ditqeputable proceed- ing says : "The report was industriously circulated throughout London, and wherever it could prove injurious, that the Atlantic had experi• enced very heavy weather in her last passage to Liverpool, which had demonstrated her un sea-worthiness, broken her back, and render- e rt unposst e or ter ever to reach New York if the weather should prove tempestuous ! So general had been the circulation of this falsehood, that every passenger 1 met with on Tuesday night upon their arrival from London, immediately commenced inquiring into the truth of the reports, alleging that they were ve ry-generally-credited iii London. One gentle man who came down to embark, was finally I induced to atendori his intention of coming in _the_Atlantic-and-waimd-tor - the - Europa while a gentleman who did come will' us and had paid the passage money for himself and fami ly, waited upon !hoist), Shipley & Co., and offered to forfeit his passage money and,sus tain froM any commentary, if the house would only deal frankly with him and state candidly the extent of the injury which the Atlantic had sustained in her passage to Liverpool! In short, the most disg,racelul falsehoods were resorted to for ,the purpose of preventing passengers going on board the Atlantic; and although it is impossible to say to what extent . these e ff orts were 'successful, there can be no question but many persons are now on board the Europa, who, but for the disreputable moans resorted to, to injure tho the Atlantic, would have been our fellow-passengors27 'Prayer and Psalm Singing" We copy the following front the Doylestown Intelligencer, where it appeared as a comrim nieation.. The subject upon which it treats, is one much discussed at the present time ; and upon which It contains very sound doctrine: Will thee permit me through the columns of the Intelligencer to inquire of thy nameless correspondent if it is the spirit of Ci,:ist that induces him to object to "prayer and psa:m singing" in our public schools, and whether he can point out a single instance where a child has been injured by thorn? Though ed. waled in the Quaker faith, I have attended schools where those forms were strictly ob. served, and freely confess that the impres sion they made upon my mind was both pleas. ing and salutary. I therefore, in justice to those from whom I received instructions to which I shall ever revert with pleasure, feel it My duty to spbak in praise at the custom En prevalent in Bur public schools and not con fined to any particular sect Or-crecd. The ap pellation of pt jest ridden youngsters" to those who feel 'it required of them to invoke the blessing of Heaven upon these efforts In teach the youthful mind, shows tan plainly that thy correspondent is not altogether free from the sectarian feeling of which he so bittedy com plains, and that his actions are not at all times governed by the Divine precepts of min "who was meek and lowly of heart:'' Ueligious bigotry should not exist in these enlightened days, but lie considered as belonging to the "talk ages" when to worship our Creator, was a crime punishable by the laws of man. No parent, professing true charity and a proper feeling towards his fellow men, should feel "aggrieved" at his child/ hearing the voice of prayer in school, even thought the teacher be of a different persuasion from himself. Meth odists, Baptists, Presbyterians, and Quaker s , should all unite in praising the great Father of the Universe, to whom alone praise is due.— We are not gifted whh power to look into the depths of the human heart, and have therefore no,right to judge our fellow men according to the promptings of our own sinful nature, but ever be ready to extend the same charity we should under similar cirettmstances wish shown to ourselves. With the hope that thy correspondent may take a different view of this subject hem What he has hereiolore, I subscribe myself very sincerely thy friend. • re"rhe entire military force of the u n li e d States for the preiieut year is estimated'• ut near ly 3 : 000,000 men.

'These forms will, with the military:rolls, be deposited in the clerk's oMce of every county. The evidence of service and dis - charge being 'thus accessible, together with, the forms necessary to verify the claims, the Simplist business knOwledge,. says the Re public, will be sufficient to fill up and forward an application for a warrant, and to diiect, if neees. silty, the location by the ctimmissioner of the General Land Office. The following arc the °ln structions and Forms" to be observed by persons applying to The Peniion Office for bounty land, under)he late law of Congress: In every application for the benefit of the act aforesaid, whether made by the surviving officer or soldier himself, or by his widow or minor child or children, a declaration, under oath,' must be made as nearly according to the follow- form as the nature of the case possi ME Such declaration, and all affidavits, must be sworn to before some justice of the peace or other officer authorized to administer oaths for general purposes, who must certify the same. The official character and signature of the magistrate who may administer the oath must be certified by the clerk of the proper court of record of his county,. under the seal of-the court. Such certificate must accompany every case. 10 every instance where the certificate of ,the certifying officer who authenticates the paper, is not written on the same sheet of paper which contains the affidavit or other papers authentica ted, the certificate must be attached thereto by a piece of tape or narrow ribbon, the ends at which must pass under the official seal, so as to prevent any paper from being improperly attached.to the certificate. The 3d section, in express terms, only pro. vides for the location i)fa warrant under the law. Thus, the right to locate not being,'given to an nylgnee, the Department may well say that no itTsignments made prior to location will be re, cognized The 4th section declares all sales, &c., going attretrett - dre title of any 111( , granted or to be granted , "prior to the issue," shall be null and void, and expressly declares that the land located shall not be charged with or subject to any debt or claim "incurred prior to the issuing of the patent." It thus appears clear that it was the in ! tention of Congress that the claim of the soldier or his heirs should continue free from ENCLy hind_ of incumbrance until after the issue of the pat. ent, and thus relieve the Department from all the evils growing out of contlicting_claims_under-al- Irged assignment. The object of the law is to confer the right to the land itself on the warrantee or his heirs. AL ter that purpose is effected, it is of course corn. petent for the grantee to dispose of it as he may think proper. • Form of a Declararon to be made by The Rureiving STATE pOUNTY Or-- " On this day of —, A.
