A triumph in trade.
• And in truth a great Fact !
And still it shall stand
As it ever has done,
A glorious fact.
For the name it has won.
Readers ! We are not about to carry you

The young man walks in the midst of
temptations to appetite, the improper indul
gence of which is in danger of proving his
ruin. Health, longevity and virtue, depend
on his resisting these temptations. The Pro
vidence of Go is no more responsible, be
cause a man ry improper indulgence be
comss subject to disease, than for the piet
Mg of his pockets. For a young man to
injure his health, is to waste his patrimony
and destroy his capacity for virtuous deeds.
should a man love God, he will have ten
times the strength for the exercise of it, with
a sound body. Not only the amount but the
quality of a man's labor depends on his
health. Not only lying lips, but a dyspep
tic stomach is an abomination to - the Lord.
The productions of the poet, the man of
science, or the orator, must be rigected by
his health. The man who neglects to con
trol his appetites. is to himself what a state
of barbarism is to society—the brutish part
predominates. He is to himself what Nich
olas is,tb Hungary.
Met buy pains, and the purVeyor and
market man bring home disease. Our an
cestors used to bury the suicide where four
roads met yet every gentleman and lady
who lay the foundation of disease with tur
tle soup and lohster salad, as really commit
suicide as if they used the rope or the pistol ;
and were the old law revived, how many
who are now honored with a resting place at
Mount Auburn, would be found on the cross
roads? Is it not amazing that man, invited
to a repast worthy of the gods, should stop
to feed on cabbage ; or when called to par.
take of the Circean cup, should stop to guz
zle with the swine.
, If young men imagine that the gratifica
tion of appetite is the great source of enjoy
ment, they 'will find this in the highest de
gree with industry and temperance. The
epicure, who seeks it in it dinner which
costs five dollars, will find less enjoyment.
of appetite than the laborer who dines on a
shilling. If the devotee of appetite desires
its high gratification, he must not send for
beef tongues, but:climb a mountain or swing
an au.—Without health there is no delicacy
that can provoke an appetite. Whoever
destroyS his health turns the most delicate
viands into ipecac and aloes. 'The mansthat
is physically wicked does not live out half
alive while he does live. However gracious
God may be to the heart, he never pardons
the stomach. •
Let a young man pursue a course of tem
perance,•sobriety, and industry, and he may
retain his vigor till three-score years and ten
with his cup of enjoyment full, and depart
painlessly ; as the candle burns out in its
. . •
socket, so will lie expire.
But look at the opposite. When a man
suffers his appetite to control hint, he turns
his dwelling into a lazar house, wheather
he lives in a hovel, clothed with rags, or in
the splended mansion and -gorgeous cloth
ing of the upper ten.
I ask the young man then, who is just
forming his habits of life, or just beginning
to indulge those habitual trains of thought
out of which habits grow, too look around
him, and mark the examples whose fortune
would covet, or whose fate he would
.abhor. Lien ne we walk the streets - ( , e
meet with exhibitions of each extreme.
Here behold a patriarch, whose stock of vi
gor three-score years and ten seem hardly
to have impaired. His erect form, his firm
stop, his elastic limbs and undimmed senses,
are so many certificates of good conduct; or,
rather, so many jewels and orders of nobili,
ty with which nature has honored'him for
his fidelity to our laws. His fair complex
ion shows tha this WO has never been cot-
poctirat.ncpstvtincnt.
True Freedom
A Tyrant needeth not a throne;
To win the hated name;
Who ruleth not his household well,
Must own the tyrant's shame.
Who tramples down of slaves but one,
Is e'cn a worthless thing;
No matter be his title great,
Or be lie one of small estate,
Or master, Ion!, or king.
The__husband loving not his wife—
Parent to child unkind—
Who shuns his home for brutal joys.
Tu suit a brutish mind,
Whoever harms a brutal thing,
Whate'r may Le its name—
The ass that bears its daily toil /.
Our meanest worm that crawls the soil,
Must own the Tyrant's shame..
When peace prevails—in every home,
When kindred love is found—
And each to all shall feel the tie,
Brother to brothers bound;
When none shall dare a deed to do
'Which others' wrong may be,
But each shall govern well his heart,
And shun himself the Tyrant's part,
Then—then mankind is free.

ner's cess-pool : his extract language and
keen apprehension, that his brain has never
been drugged or stupefied by the poisons of
distiller or tobacconist. Enjoying his appe
tites to the highest, he has preserved the
power of enjoying them. Despite the mo

How she loosens all his joints, sends tremors

kindred brutes, or to degrade him to the
reptile's crawling! How she disfigures his
countenance, as if intent upon obliterating
all traces of her own image, so that she may
swear she never madeltim ! How she pours

Tact and Talent.
Talent is something,but tact is everything,.
Talent is serious, sober, grave and respect
able ; tact is all that and more too. It is
not a seventh sense, but it is the life of all
the five. It is the open eye, the quick ear,
the judging taste, the keen smell, and tho
lively touch. It is the interpreter of all
riddles—the surmounter of all difficulties- F .
the remover of all obstacles. It is useful lit
solitude, for it shows a man his May into
the world. It is useful in society. for it
shows him his way through the world. Ta
lent is power; tact is skill. Talent is weight,
tact is momentum. Talent knows what to
do ; tact knows how to do it. Talent
make a man respectable ; tact will tnalie'him
respected. •Talent is wealth ; tact is ready
money. For the practical purposes of life
tact carries it against talent, ten. to one.
There is no want of d rattan ic tact; there is
no want of dramatic talent: but they aro
seldorn together; so we have successful pie
ces which are not respectable, and respec
table pieces which are not successful. Take
them to the bar and let them shake their leer,
ntd curls at each other in legal rivalry ; ta
lent sees its way clearly; but tact is first tit
his journey's end. Talentlas•many a com
pliment from the bench; but tact touches
fees from attorneys , and clients. Talent
speaks learnedly and . logically ; tact trium
phantly. Talent makes the world wonder
that it gets on no faster; tact. excites aston
ishment that it gets on so fast—the secret
is, it has no weight to carry ; it makes no
false steps ; it hits the right.nail on the head;
it loses no nine ; it takes all hints and by
keeping its eye on the wheather cock is
ready to take advantage of every wind that
blows.
Take them into the church,--talent has
always something worth hearing; tact is
sure of abundance of hearers. - Talent may
obtain a ; tact will make one. Talent
gets a good name; tact gets a great one.
Talent convinces ; tact converts. Talent is
an honor to the profession; tact gains honor
_from did. profession.
Take them to court--talent feels its weight,
tact makes its Way. Talent cotufnands
