The bUsiness of secret service was ' SO well

SMETHPORT, M'KEAN COUNTY, PA., THtItSDAY, APRIL 26, 1860.
Who are: they.?'..Theyare those who, when .
boys,,were,compelled' to work, either to 'help
themselves or, their parents ; and who, when a
little older, were under the stern necessity of
doing more thairtheir"legitirate share of labor;
who as young men had . their wits sharpened . by
having to devise ways and means' of, makink
their time more available, thin. it would have
been, under ordinary circumstancei: Hence,
in reading the lives.of men who have greatly
distinguished ttiemselves, we find tiieir , whole
youth passed in self denials, of food, and rest,
and.recreation. 'ihey tat up late, and rose,
early to the perforinanee of imperative 'duties . ;
doing by daylight the, work °rime Man,' and by
'night the work of another.
‘, Said a gentleman the other day; now a pri
vate:banker of high integrity, and whom we
,knew had started in life without: a. dollar :
“For years together; I`was in my place of bu
sinizi at sunrise, and. Often did not 'leave it fur
fifteen and eighteen hours.'i
. .
Let not, therofore,:any youth be discouraged
if he has to make, his own living .or even .to
support besides a Widowed Mother; or sick sis
'ter; or unfortunaterelition; for 'this . has' been .
the road of eminence of many .a proud. name..
'This'is the path which printers and teachers.
have often trod ; .thorny • enough et dimes," at
others so beset with obstacles Its to be . almost`
impassable; ''butthe way has cleared, sunshine,
came, success followed, then:glory and 'renown.
A - :young man writes us : ani an humble
school-teacher, with, the duties 'belonging, to .
-half e'Lundred pepils;l issue a monthly,
print
ed hine away, .and' do' all the folding;
stitching, binding, and mailing of threi thous
and copies, With a deep feeling •that good may
be done. I hope I will suceeed,'! • •
' 'Certainly he will succeed: For he •has the
two great elements of success'-:-a will to work,
and it•heart•in the 'right. place ;'a heart whose
object is not glory-but : good., •
.•
But• too. often has :it, happened that: there
comes in, between 'the manly effort and a glo
rious fruition, disease, crippling the. hody, de
pressing the mind, and westing aWaythe whole
man. Whe does'Oot•remember grand intellects
which hive gone down in, the night of , a prema
ture`grave ! Who has not seen young men with
magnificent minds, standing on; the bOrders,
looking wistfully, oh! how wistfully Ipver, but.
Unable te - go-in and possoss the Jand,only for
the:want of bOdily 'health.? A health by'. no
means wanting originally, but sacrificed ; piti
lessty, remorselessly :sacrificed .by inattention
and sheer ignorance ;`learned in -everything
else ;,critically• Informed' in everything else . ;
perfe . dt Masters of everything.elie; except the
knowledge of a feWgener4 principals. Which
could be pertectly mastered in any twenty-four
hours by a mind accustomed,to 'thinking. •
* Within a few months two young" men
,hav e
died in the very . pri:ne 'and ,vigOr of mental,
manhood, • oeing not far from fifty, one - the first
scholar of his time ; the - other, one; of, the-best .
and, most useful men of the age; both of them
the • victims of wrong habits of life; habits
formed in youth . , and utterly:repugnant to: the
coMmonest dictates of-ComMoni sense.' Some
Of. the most useful' rules for.* preoeryetion of
the health of the yoUng, Whileobtaibing ari ed . ;
ucation, are these
1. Keep the feet always dry and warm
. Eat tbriee at regular times.; not
an atom between meals ;4aking for supper only
a piece of 'cold bread and butter with a single
cup, of warm drink. . . • ,
3. GO to bed not later thanten o'clock, and
never remain there longer than eight hours at
fartherest, not sleeping a moment in the . day
'.4. 'Conl of with the utmost slowness after
all forms of exercise ; .'never , allowing an in
stants's exposure to the slightest ffritugnt of air
while id a. state of rest 'after all 'forms , of exer,
5. If the bowels fail of acting daily,• at, a
regular bear, eat not an atom untilihey do,
but drink all that is desired, and give more thin
usual to outdoor exercise, for several days.
Tbese kve rules can easily lie remembered,
and we appettl to the educated physicians of all

WREN. TO TURNOUT CONVB.-It is,best to turn
out Stock early for several reasons. One is,
that from the lath of May;to the 10th of June
is.the beat feed Month in the year. Another
reason' kir turning out as the grass gets. started
is, that the stock does better than if kept up
until the feed is rank. in the latter case they
. .
scour badly, while if, turned out early; they do
not scour at all,and'after a few days they:will
eat hay again. Many cows are injured, and
some'Spoiled, by turning them froln hay. to
rank clover. 15oreftly does,the stock do bet
ter, but the pasture yields more feed. BY
turning out early' the cattle go into the low
places, where the grass 'starts first, and eat
therrtdown,.instead of leaving.them to go to
.seict—as thq . 'vill if - plenty of bettergrass,is
to, be had. The poOr'grass if fed down early;
starts up fresh, and will again be eaten and
keptjed dowit through the Season.

C UIIIOiTS REMIT . Eon SrAtap.—Ther& is a CA

regarding a celebrated Scotch nobleman which,
I am asssured, is true, and, further thatit has
never yet appeared in print. • 7'he stAry is;
therefore, &Scottish reminiscence, and as such,
deserves 'a place here. The Earl of Lauderdale
was so siclYas to cause. alarm'. to his friends

sing sympton was •a . total Abseenee of sleep,
And the medical' men declared their opinion that
without sleep being ' induced . he eould.not re
cover. • His. son, a queer, eccentric-lOoking boy,
who was considered a . kind of daft, and. had lit
Ale attention paid to his edueatiOn; *as Sitting
under tic° table, and cried out,.diSend for* that
preaching man free Livingston, for fie aye sleep .
in' the kitic." One of the ddetors thought this ,
hint worth attending to. ;The experiment of
"getting a minister tell hiirei succeeded; And .
sleepcoming on he r recvered...The earl, Out.
of gratitude for this benefit; took more notice
of his ;Ion; paid attention to his ediferition, and

The Repuhlicans, or Opposition party, hie no

change- with each 'Presidential year: 'They
