lii. Neither is an advantageous location
essential to the . prosecution of ennobling
studies, or to an intellectual life; on this
point. misapprehension is very prevalent
and very pernicious. A youth born in
some rural or but thinly settled district,
Awe books are few and unfit and the
mean of intellectual culture apparently
scanty, feels within him the stirrings of ,a
spirit of inquiry, a craving to acquire and
to know aspirations for an intellectual con
dition Arnie the dela - level around him. At
once he jumps to the conclusion that a
change of place is necessary to the satis
faction of his desires--that he must resort,
if to not the university or the seminary, et
least to the City or the Village.. He fancies
he must alter his whole manner of life—
that a persistence in manual labor is un
suited -to, if - tot — absoletelf_inconsieient
with the aspirations ewakened witbin him
—that he must become, if •not an autbot,
a professor, a lawyer, at least a merchant
or follower of some veiling unlike that of
his fathers. -
Wrapped in this delusion, he betakes
Ithrtielf tnihn City's dusty ways, -Where
sooner or later the nature and extent of his
Mistake - breaks upon. him - : If he 'finds'
satisfactory employMent and is - prospered
in the way of life which he prefers, the
cares_ and .demands of business almost con
strain to relinquish those pursuits for
which he abandoned - his more quiet and
natural . life. If he,isiess fortunate, anxie
ties for the morrow, a constant and difficult
struggle for the means of creditable sub
sistence, and to avoid becoming a litirthen
or a detriment to others who have trusted
or - endeavored to sustain him;these crowd
out of being the thought or the hope of
mental culture and .advancement.. Nay,
more, and still worse—in the -tumultous
strife of business and money-getting, whe r
titer successful , or otherwise; the very de- -
sire of intellecttial elevation is ''too often
stifled or greatly enfeebled, and that death
of 'the soul ensues in Which satisfaction of
the physical appetite becomes the aim of
life—the : man is sunk in the capitalist- or
trader, and the gathering of shining dust
made the great end of his being. •
"But what shall, the youth do who finds
his means of intellectual culture inadequate
to his wants? I hesitate not to say that he
should CREATE more and better just where
he is. Not that L would have him reject
any real opportunity, or proffer of increas
ed facilities which may open before him.
I will not say that lie should - not accept a
university edtwation, the means of study
ing for a profession, if such should come
fairly in his way, and be seconded by his
own inclination. But Ido insist that nod),
ing of this sort is ESSENTIAL to the great
end he has or should have in view—name
ly, Self-Culture. TO ibis end it is only
needful that he should put forth fully "the
powers within:him and rightly mould the
circumstances by which he igiurronuded.
Are the books withiii reach few-andfaulty?

V. The great central truth which I would
impress on the minds of my, readers is
this--premisinte genuine energy and sin
gleness of purpose—the circumstances are
nothing, the Man is all. We may be the
slaves or toys of circumstance if we will;
most men perhaps are so; and to these all
circumstances are alike evil—that is ren
dered so if not by rugged Difficulty, then
by soft Terriptation. But that man who
truly ruleth his own spirit,— and such there
are, even among us-readily defies all ma
terial influences or bends them to his will.

An hour or two after, I met Tom-Steb
bins. "How did-.that-Ice-cream set?" said
Tom. "It set,'"'said I, "like the,sun—
glorixusly." 'And just as ho _ spoke, it
flashed upon me . thit my iiiissing half dol
lar had paid fur those ice-creams; however,
I held my peace, for Mrs. slack water some
times makes remarkerana . even when she
assured me at breakfast next morning that 1 .
there was no hole in my pocket, what could
I do but lift my brow and say, " Ah isn't!
there, really ?"
Before a Week had gone by, my wife,
'who like a dutiful helpmate as she is, Or
ways gave .me her . looie change to keep,
called 'for a twenty-five cent piece that had
been deposited , in
,my sub-treasury for safe
keeping.; "there was a poor , woman at the .
door,". she said, "that she had prombied
it fur certain." Well wait a moment," I
cried ; • . so Ivished inquiries' first in this
direction, then in that, and then in the oth
er—but vacancy returned a horrid groan.,
" On my soul," said I, thinking it best to
show a bold•froph . 11 yogi ,must keep •my
pockets. in•better repair, Mrs. Slack Water
this piece, with I know not hoW many
more, is lost, because some corner or seam
in my plaguy pocket is.left open."
"Are you sure?" said Mrs. Slackwater. ,
" Sure ! aye, that lam ; it's gone, to-
ally gone !"
My• wife dismissed her promise, and then
in her quiet way, asked me to change my
pantaloons before ! went out; and to bar
all argu ent, laid another pair on my
knees.

The Man of Leisure' calied on Monday
on Miss'Emma Roberps,4retty blooriting
gill of seventeen., Emma was clear-starch
ing. Talk about the trials of men ! what
have they to annoy them compared with
the miseries of clear-starching ? Alas, how
seldom! Einma was going on in the full
tide of success, indulging in the buoyant
thoughts of her age—there was a soft light
about 'her eyes, as she dreiv out the edge
of a . collar,'er, clapped it with her small ,
hands, as if she felt the imptilse of young
hopes.—
" I am snre. Harry Bertram looked-at
this collar last Sunday; I wonder if he
liked it" 7 —thought ,she, and a gentle sigh
rustled - the folds of the morning robe on
her bosom. , Just then the door bell sound
ed, and the Man of Leisure walked into
the sitting room, where Emma with a nice
establishment of smoothing irons had con
cerned herself for the morning.
" You won't mind a friend's looking in
upon you;" said Mr. Inklin; with an at
home air.
Emma blushed, loosened the 'strings of
her apron, gave a glance at her starched fin
gers, and saying "take a seat sir,"-sus•
pended her work with the grace of natural
politeness. In the meantime, the . starch
grew Mild, and the irons were overheated.
Emma was not loquacious and the dead
pauses.were neither few nor far bet Ween.
Emma, rendered desperate, 'renewed .her
operations, but diminished ardor; her
clapping was feeble as the applause of an
unpopular orator, she burnt her fingers;
her face become flushed, and by the time
the Man of Leisure had sat out his hour v a
gray hue and.an indelible smutch•disflgur

Mr. Inklin soon called in again, and met
Harry Bertram. It was not the influence
of coquetry, but Emma rallied her powers,
add talked more to Mr. Inklin than to Har
