Idleness and Vice
ireong men, beware of idleness. Accustom
your mind to habits of regular labor. Fix
the attention upon a course of usefulness to
yourself and others.—Awaken within yourself
an interest for the accomplishment of a pur.
pose. Cultivate a habit of patient endurance.
Let it be your desire to secure the approbation
of the wise and good. Link yourself to those
who are doing something in the world, and
who compose the frame-work 'n! society, and
let your motto be determination, activity and
perseverance. Sit down, clamly while young,
and look over the ground, and get a clear
'view of what is before you. Than lay your
foundation and go to work.
What is the difference between one who be
gins life in earnest in this manner, and another
who idles away all the precious time of prep
aration I The one starts strong and vigorous
into the grand work of life ;the other commen.
cur feebly; aims one stroke hero and another
there, and then lays down his tools and don't
know when he will take them up again.. The
od'o exerts an influence throughout the commu
nit) , in which he lives, and his name is hon
ored and will be handed down to posterity as
one identified with his country's progress in all
that is good and great; the other is unknown,
except by those to whom he is a burden—ho
is of no use as a member of society, or to his
own family, and when he passes away, his
name will be forgotten by all but those who,
connected with him by the ties of nature, will,
perhaps, long feel sad at the recollection of the
fact that "he died as the fool dieth." It seems
surprising that two such beings can belong to
the same species. And yet this is the natural
consequence of starting in the two different di
rections. We often see two much widely dif
ferent careers diverging from almost the same
point. The same family will be able to rejoice
over one son who has realized the expectation
of friends, and is pursuing an honorable and
noble career; and on the other hand will be
called to mourn over another who is bringing
his parents to shame.
It is true, too, that every young man has all
those matters in his own hands. Each has the
power to turn his feet from the:path of the
foolish and seek for tine honor. We are more
fearfully impressed with the fact that every
man has the power of control over his own
destiny, except in casses of absolute ignorance
of the way of improvement. Young man, look
about you. Inquire what you are doing, and
what you ought to be. Let it not be said that
you are
"Fixed, like a plant, to.one peculiar spot,
To draw nutrition, propagate, and rot."
If you have been dreaming away your life,
wake up and take a new start. It is not too
late. You can yet make your mark upon the
the world. These are stiring times, and though
we do not, with some, think the world on the
high road to perfection, yet we know that this
is an ago of wonders, and age of progress, and
offers an opportunity, for every man who wants
to work, which has never been oflered before
Spunky Indeed.

half a' sheet this week. Our readers will
therefore bear with us; wo shall try to make
up the loss hereafter.
The First of April.
Many or our subscribers in town and coun-

notify us as soon as possible, so that we may
know where to send their papers. A word

Dreadful Ca tastrophy.
On Monday last, at about 9 o'clock in the
forenoon, a loud report was heard in town,
which proceeded from the large Still-house of
Messrs. C. (V. Edelman, on Trout Creek, near
our Borough. We proceeded to the scone of
destruction which was at once awful to behold.
- - - -
Three men, named Peter Unangst, Charles Mc
Ginnis, an Irishman, and John Lcbticr, a german
were brought out, covered with the liquid sub
stance,contained in a wooden tank,which explo
ded and scalded from head to foot in a manner at
once frightful to look at, and laboring under ex
cruciating pain. Doctors C. L. and C. .11. Mnr4
tin, Wm. F. Donatesky and John Romig, were
immediately called, who unclothed the unfor-
tunato men,and applied all possible medical aid.
Lcbblcr one of the men, is supposed to have been
struck by a piece of wood over the nose, which
caused an awful gash. It is not expected that
they can survive. This is indeed the most
melancholy case we have ever yet been called
upon to record.
There are various opinions as regards the
cause of the explosion. It is supposed, how
ever, that the valve admitting the steam into
the still, stopped itself, and with no way to es
cape, brought on the explosion.
It has raised the roof of the building and made
the elate fly, in every derection. The machin
ery inside is a complete wrebk, every thing is
broken to pieces. The loss to the Messrs. Edcl•
man, cannot be less then 51,500.
LATER.—We have just learned, that John
Lebblar and Charles McGinnis, died of the effects
of their wounds, the same afternoon at 3 o'clock.
The former leaves a wife and infant child, and
the latter a wile and three small children to
morn their untimely lose. The families of both
of these unfortunate men are in very needful
circumstances and we trust will be attended to
by their kind neighbors.
Still Later.—Mr. Peter Unangsl, also expired
at 7 o'clock, this afternoon. He leaves a wile
and one child. How true it is that 'in the midst
of Ire we are in dehth.' Little did these per
sons think in , the morning, when the beautiful
rays of the rising sun of the east, shone upon
them, that before that very sun had passed the
horrizon to throw its rays from the far west,
they would be stretched on their couch a life
loss body. " Prepare in life for death."
Allentown Seminary.
The pupils of this popular institution gave a
Musical Entertainment, on the Evening of
Thursday last, the 30th of March, at the Odd
Fellows' Hall, in this Borough.' The occasion
was a very interesting one, and no 'doubt our
young folks found the performances a profita
ble one. This Institution is rapidly rising un•
dor the assiduous labors of its spirited and tal
ented Principal Rev. C. R. Kessler, who com
menced but a few years ago, with only five
pupils. The last session they numbered one
hundred and fiflytwo. A large addition to his
school building is in progress of erection which
is called for by the rapid accession of pupils.
This enables him to add at least 100 more to
his' list next session. Ile has experienced "a
day of small things," but energy, ability and
perseverance has done a great deal for him
already—and will do greater things in time to
come.
Public School Exhibition.
On Friday evening, the examination of our
Public Schools took place at the Odd Fellows'
Ilan. The Schools had each a separate ex•
amination at their rooms; which was but poorly
attended, and an inexcusable apathy and indif
ference has been shown by two many of our
citizens; in consequence of which this joint ex•
hibition of the pupils of the higher classes was
got up, and the concourse in attendance° was
indeed very large. The president of the school.
board Mr. Jonathan Reichert, under whose au.
perintendanee the whole affair was got up,
deserves the highest praise of the citizens of
Allentown, for the interest he takes in the pub.
lie schools of this place. We never have
known a gentleman devote himself with such
entireness. He aims at the highest attainments
and strives with all his powers to place the
Public Schools in the front rank. This is a
laudable ambition, and one that we cannot too
much admire and commend.
Last year there were conveyed between the
United States and Europe, by the British and
American mail steamers;' ,COO,OOO letters, and
1,380,000 newspapers.
Almost a Fire
It is a very bad practice with many people
in this Borough, to throw their coal ashes near
a stable or other frame building in the yard, and
even some people throw them on their man
ure heap, near the stable, where often times
dry hay and straw come in contact with Them.
Such has been the case a few day ago. A dog
mestic of the family of Mr. Joseph Saeger, threw
a bucket full of Coal ashes on the manure heap
near the stable, and shortly after the straw at
and near it ignited and was in full blaze, and
but for the timely assistance of Mr. Abraham
Lucas, who had occasion of passing by, the
whole range of stables on the rear of his lot,
would 'have been in flames, and the damage
thereby done might have been very serious.
March Snow
On Thursday last, the 30th of March, we
were visited by a snow storm. It continued
snowing during the day, a thick mist cleared it
off again during the following night, and al
though the weather being somewhat January
like, the sky is clear again, and we aro in hopes
of spring weather setting in.
Sale of the Public Works.
. _
The Senate bill providing for the sale of the
public works, which passed that body several
weeks ago, is still upon the files of the House
where it has not yet been acted upon. The
Democratic majority in the popular branch are
anxious to slave off the question. They have
reported half a a dozen new bills, all different
and it is doubtful whether they will agree upon
any one of a practical character. Should the
Legislature adjourn without meeting this ques
tion, the people should take it in hand, and by
electing Judge Polloth insure the passage of the
right kind of a bill next year.
$250 Dollars Reward.
The "Sinking Spring Fire Insurance Cnm.
party of Berks county," as will be seen by their
advertisement in another column, offer a reward
of Iwo hundred andfifiy dollars, for the detection
and conviction of incendiaries, supposed to have
fired the barns of Messrs. Kemp and George, in
Maxatawny township, Berks county. The loss
of the former is $2,500, and that of the latter
$3OO. Both insured in the company.

ble periodical, for the month of April, is also at

Plain Talk to Young Men.
They talk about staples and great staples.—
Ilcineet, industrious, able young men, are the
great staples in this world of ours. Young man !
you are wanted, but not for a doctor. No, nor a
lawyer. There are enough of them for this
generation, and one or two to spare. Don't study
"a profession," unless it be the profession of
bricklaying or farming, or some other of the
manual professions. Don't measure tape if
you can help it. Its honorable and.honest, and
all that, but then you can do better. 01 all
things don't rob the women. Its their preroga
tive to handle silks and laces, tape and thread.
l'ut on your hat, then, like a man, don an ap
ron, and go out doors. Get a good glow on
your cheek, the jewelry of toil upon your brow,
and a good set of well - developed muscles. We
would go if we could but then we were young
longer ago than we like to think, and you
know when one's old he can't.
Besides, if you become a doctor, you'll have
to wait—'because you haven't the experience,'
says an old practitionef ; " because you are
too young,'' says all the women. If you are a
lawyer, likely to rise they'll ,put a weight on
your head, a la Swiss, to keep you under; or,
if ypu make a good argument, some old op-
ponent, as grey as a rat, will kick it all over,
by some taunt or other, because you were not
born in the year one. And so it will go, until
you grow tired and soured, and wish you had
been a tinker, perhaps "an immortal" one, or
anything but just what you are.
Be a farmer, and your troubles are over, or
rather, they don't begin. "You of the earth,"
as they used to ray, " up to the sky ;" you are
independent all day; and tired, not weary, at
night. The more neighbors you have and but
ter farmers they are, the more and better for
you.

Departure of Indians
The deputation of Omahas, ktissouriis, and
Ottoes, sent hither by their respective tribes to
negotiate treaties with the United States govern
ment, left the city yesterday afternoon, for their
homes in Nebraska, by way of Wheeling and
St. Louis.
Major Gatewood, who has them in charge, in.
I tended to pass through Baltimore, Philadelphia,
New York and other cities, but the elder chiefs
strenuously was opposed to so mach railroad
travelling. •
They have, at the expense of the government
been dressed in citizens' costume, and quite be;
come it. If they could only be as easily divested
of their wild habits, and placed in the boots of
civilization, there would be ample cause for re
joicing.
On Friday evenin g they had a celebration in
prospect of their return "home," (a place as
dear to the occupant of the humble wigwam as
to the tenant of a castle.) They sang in chorus,
and otherwise manifested their delight. They
said, through their interpreters, that they never
were before so happy in a white.face's wigwam
as they had been at their pale mother's, (mean.
ing Mrs. Maher's;) they had never before re
ceived so much kindness and so much good
food anywhere in their long journey, and that
it they had a heart big enough to put her in it
they would carry her to •their home and make
her their pah•ba•fo, (royal matron;) and that
they will tell all the tribes in the far.off west,
that there is no wa•ha•tcah•fo (woman so goOd as
she.
It is a custom among the Omahas, when a
squaw is noted for her kind acts, particularly in
her charities, to call her pah.ba•to and tattoo a
small round mark upon her lorehead that she
may be known and respected accordingly.
Seeing that their remarks were written down
they requested to have their names affixed, and
certified thereto by a cross.mark.

sourias, tho oldcsrchief, advanced to Mrs. Ma_
her, and delicately placed an amulet about her
neck, indicative of a (wish or spell) that she
should never grow old.
As to Jemmy Maher, one of these Indians in_
vited him to the . Indian country with him,
promising that he would build him a house as
large as the Capitol, and place him in a position
somewhat analogous to Brigham Young, re_
spccting household arrangements; but Jemmy
told him that he was not ambitious of such a
distinction.— Washington Sentinel.
Interesting to Postmasters.
The House Committee ory-Post Offices and
Post Roads, have unanimously agreed to report
a bill increasing the compensation of the Post
Masters in the United States. They are now al.
lowed commissions at the following rates, viz:
On the first $lOO per quarter, 50 per cent; on
the next $3OO per quarter, 40 per cent ; on the
next $2,000 per quarter, 35 per cent.; all over the
last sum, 15 per cent.
Under the bill, as agreed upon by the Com.
mittee, their commissions will be as follows, viz:
On the first $lOO per quarter, GO per cent.; on the
next $3OO per quarter, 60 per cent.; on the next
$2,000 per quarter, 40 per cent.; on all over the
last sum 16 percent.
The bill of the Committee proposes to allow
the Postmaster General the discretionary power
of increasing the compensation at distributing
and seperating offices.
For the proposition, postmasters throughout
the United States owe much to the labc•rs of Mr.
Olds of Ohio, the Chairman of the House Post
Oflioe Committee. The gentleman has devoted
much time to investigations bearing on the quest
ion of the adequacy of the coMpensation now alp
lowcd•by law to that class of the Government's
employees. Having been able to procure the
unanimous consent of the committee to this pro..
position, we take it for granted that he will also
be able to fortify it with reasons so cogent, as
probably to secure the enactment of this bill ere
the close of this session.—. Washington Star.
Banged While Drunk.—We read in the Ca.
zelle des Tribunaux: A young, man about twen
ty nine years of age arrived at Paris, about a
month ago, to seek a place, but as he was pro.
vided with a very , large sum of money, he resole.
ed to indulge in debauchery, until it should be
spent. On Thursday evening he went to dine
with some acquaintances, and remained drink.
ing until 4 o'clock in the morning. He then re.
turned to his hotel in the Rue St. Honore. but
was so drunk that he could hardly walk up
stairs. One morning a person tatted to see him
and was directed to his room, which was situ.
ated at the bottom of an isolated corridor. To
his astonishment he found him hanging by the
neck by the cravat, to the handle of the door.—
He, it appeared, in trying to open the door, bad
slipped and his cravat which he wore very loose,
caught by the handle. The efforts he Made to
release himself, in his state of intoxication, were
fruitless, and he remained hanging until he was
completely strangled.
A Curious Scene in a Court•Room.—The mem.
bees of the bar in Henry county, Indiana, have
presented a petition to the Circuit Court, asking
the President Judge, Attorney, to resign. Judge
Anthony received the petition, and each mem,
ber of the bar In succession addressed the court in
favor of the petition, stating that in case he would
not tesign, the petitioners had agreed among
themselves that they would not do any business
in the court so long as he presided. The Judge
with perfect nonchalence, told the lawyers he
would think about it, and in the meantime would
proceed to business. In the afternoon the jury
also asked him to resign, when the lawyers pro
posed to him that if he would agree in writing
never to come to that country again for the pur..
pose of holding court, and would send some one
in his place, they would be content to drop the
matter, as far•as they were concerned. The
Judge finally promised never to come to the
country again for the purpose of holding Court,
until he should be sent for. The *cause of the
feeling against him is not stated.

The Gold _Fields of the World.
Gold abounds, to a greater or less extent, in
almost every country. It has been found in
small quantities in , Spain, Portugal, Sweden, the
Germanic States, Turkey and even in England.
The produce of the Russian gold mines is from
fifteen to twenty millions of dollars annually
Besides Australia, gold is found in China, Ma,
lacca, Japan, Borneo, New Guinea, and New
Zealand. It has also been discovered in con
siderable quantities in about the Chaudiere river
in Lower Canada. The eastern gold region of
the United States is considered as beginning in
Virginia, extending through North Carolina,
along the northern part of South Carolina, and
thence northwesterly into Alabama, terminating
in Tennessee. The diggings are supposed to
be pretty well worked out, although productive
at times. In 1813, $1,200,000 was dug from the
gold mines of Virginia. The west coast of
America, both north and south of the equator, is
perhaps the region having the greatest number
of gold deposits. The precious metal is found
in considerable quantities in all the South Amer.
ican States. Gold is procured also from vari
ous parts of Africa, to the amount probably of
$2,500,000 yearly. It is estimated that the total
yield of gold during the year 1853 was $250,000,
000; and it is supposed that the whole stock of
gold and silver bullion now in circulation is
twenty,five hundred millions of dollars.
Romance in Real Life.
Man ied.—ln this village February 11, by J.
Q. Farmer, Esq., Mr. Elias Jones, to Miss Dan
Swap.
There is a little history connected with the
above which may not be uninteresting to the gent
eral reader. About the close of the last war with
Great Britain, the parties become acquainted
with each other, and in April 1822, were mar.
tied in the county of Genessee, New York,
against the consent and wishes of relatives on
both sides. A few weeks prior to the birth of
their second son, Bradford, now of this place,
Mr. J. left his home fur the purpose of purchasing
a piece of land, and during his absence, the wife
was persuaded by her relatives, to desert her
home and husband, and reside with them. Mr.
J. learning the fact, and being threatened with
violence if he attempted to claim his family, left
the country and went to sea. On his return
several years subsequent, he ascertained that
Mrs. J. had again married and removed to the
West. In palliation of this transaction, it should
be stated that the wife supposed her former hus
band dead, and did receive tidings of his Joss.—
Mr. Jones irhmediately returned to his vocation
on the sea; and from that period until slew
weeks since, lost all trace of his wife and his two
sons.
After a space of twenty five years, he chanced
by a mere circumstance, to learn the 'residence
of his sons, and wended his steps to this place,
where, to his gratification, he learned that their
mother was still living, and a widow having lost
her second- husband, after rearing ten children,
and then residing in Mercer, Pa. In company
with his son, Mr. Jones immediately started for
the residence of the partner of his youth, who at
once recognized and welcomed him to her home;
though she could not have been more surprised
had he risen from the grave to confront her.—
The trials of the past were recounted, the love
of youth renewed. and after a brief courtship, they
were again plighted, and the finale is recorded
at the head of this article.—Conneaut (0.,) Rep.
Extravagant Salaries.—Governor Bigler, in his
annual message to the Legislature of California
says. "✓Phe enormous sum or one hundred and
eighty-.two thousand four hundred and twent
seven dollars and forty-three cents has been paid

clerks alone, was one hundred and six thousand
and ninety-three dollars and seventy cents.
