while from home, earned about $6, returned
the other day to his family with the cash.
His wife told him that during his absence his
family had suffered for food. He replied I
will go to a store and buy what is wanted, and
then we shall have enough. He had refrained
from drink for some lime j buto'n arriving at the
grocery), it was found he had money, and he
was invited to drink a little beer then some
thing stronger till he got drunk, spent all his
money for rum, and returned to his half starved
family at 2 o'clock in the morning, penniless.
The poorwife was greatly distressed, and
on the next" evening ventured to go to the wife
of the rum seller, told the story of her suffering
family and the manner in which her husband
had been made .a pauper, &c. ; whereupon iho
good lady filled a large basket With pork, bread,'

Look Ahead.
' Young man, if you will carefully peruse the
following article, copied from the Portland TrU.
bune, you will perceive why so many business
men fail of success in the prosecution of their
undertakings.
'-'The reason why so many.ypung men fail in
b.u.siriess, arid burden themselves wiih debt in
the onset of life, is neglecting to look ahead.
How many enter into speculations, ;or make a
purchase of goods without thinking on, or car
ing for the consequences. We have frequent
ly marked the course pursued by many worthy
young men, now embarrassed and without cred
it, wlipj in hot reflecting on their course and
not looking lo the consequences, thaveembark
ed in a business with which-they were totally
unacquainted, and seemingly prosperous for a
time, but eventually failed, and lost the confi
dence ,of their creditors, without a possibility of
ever being free from debt.
UA man wilh a small capital will commence
business for himself; and without looking ahad
to the day when his notes become duej live ex
travagantly, and spend a large amount in horse
hire, and on parties of pleasure; and the first
intimation he has, that his credit is lost, is the
authoritative voice of the sheriff at his counter?
who has commenced taking an inventory 'of hi3
goods. Hundreds of like cases are yearly oc
curring, which should teach young men an im
portant lesson ; lo look ahead; to make small
purchases ; to slick closely to their business,
and to live within their means. By one; mis
calculation ; one error in judgment ; one breach
of confidence, a youth may be ruined, and nev
er again have the privilege of conducting bu
siness in his own name. .
"Look around you, and tell us who are our
most prosperous merchants and mechanics 1
They are those who are prudent and attentive
to business ; who have entered into no specu
lations without forethought and iavestigation
of those; who invariably look ahead, when any
project is presented for their countenance '-and
support. There, is no one case in fifty where
a young man fails in business, which cannot be
traced to his neglect to look ahead when urged
to make large purchases, or solicited to enter
into speculations. Young men Jearn wisdom.
Never nerer lift a finger lo act, without look
ing lo the consequences, without . asking your
self if you can consistently, with yoUr cred
it and your, obligations to others, dpi thus and
so. Thenour :wpfd for it, you will succeed;
it cannot be otherwise. Your creditors seeing
the judicious management of your affairs, and
your attention to business; "will be a thousand,
times more ready to lend you assistance, and
if not perfectly convenient, will often favor you
in the payment of their demands. Remember,
then, the secret of success; and in every un
dertaking have the consequence and the end
in view.
Tlie Way of Success.
True hope is on energy of character. A
strong mind always hopes, and has always cause
to hope, because it knows the mu'tability;of hu
man afiiairs, and how slight a circumstance
may change .the whole course of events Such
a spirit, iioo, rests upon itself. It is not confin
ed to partial views, or to the one particular ob
ject; and if at last it should be lost, it has saved
itself its own integrity and worth.
Hope awakens courage, while despondency
is the last of all evils; it is the abandonment of
good-the giving up of the battle of life with dead,
nothingness. .)He who can implant courage fh
the Jiumarf soul, is ils best physician.
To seek lo govern men by their fears and
their wants is an unworthy purpose. The' de;
sire to rule by means of cowardice is itself,
cowardice. Love inspires courage and hBpe,
and thus is doubly the giver and presenter of life.
Whatever teaehes .Us boldly to combat tfoa
manifold doubts and assaults of life, enables us
to win the crown of victoy- Special cajra,
ounht thoretore to be taken in education to teach
what true courage isas well in social .and dor
mestic, as in public afhairs and by wlat means
it may bo best sustained.

, Meteors
About two in the morning on Friday last,
innumerable meteors of surprising beauty were.
perceptible in the heaven. Vast myriads of
shooting stara were, seen darting through the
air in a S. S. W. directionle,aving along and
brilliant train, of light., The whole atmosphere
was illuminated,', and at one period the light
was so great, as to hare enabled a person to
read the smallest print wh the utmost facility.
This magnificent spectaclo was visible during
a period of ten or twelvo minutes; Calcutta

Distraining for RentV
. "Speaking of Turkey we h'e'arti'an. exlen-,
sive tale yesterday. It Vva told us by the'
Doctor. A man. up townoi) going to dinner a
day or two ?.g0f fou'rjcfa, magnificeJit turk'ey,
weighing fifteen or twenty pounds, .smoking
hot on t'ne table" , As he smacked his lips in
anticipation ?f; his pleasure,- Jb. happened to
recollect that he had himself pifr.chased a pjair,
of ducks in market that morning, and began to
wonder how they became transformed into the
dish before him. .t .
"Ben," said he to the boy waitingTupon hin,
'where the devil did this turkey come from!"
"Why, sa," replied Bca? Jdat ar turkey j
bin roostin' on our fence dis. tree nig1n4 an1 dis
mornin' I seize him for de rent of de fence!"
A great nigger that! We have a shrewd
suspicion that he understands the laws of Tur
key much better than his master.

eyes and plant them in our heart.
