The 'Degeneracy of Young Men The j, n irnal of Commr, re has an article under the head of "The Degeneracy of Young en," which strikes Ili an contain ing a great deal of truth. Ite says that the true cause for the degeneraey ,of The trinfabi of the youth of the present day is ioanitely broader than in the fact that laboring men wish 'to place their boys 'a peg than themielves. It is to he found in the gener al lows,ting of the moral standard of the com munity, which has been painfully pereepti bfe diving the last' few years. Whatever may be the facts ac to the good Which has been acr.mplislied by - the war, it is to he feared that it has been largely counterbid-dm ed by the blood of vice and immortality with which it has deluged our dind. Di•i tieetinos between r ht. and wrong seem, in the minds of many, to completcly oblitera ted. The moral miasma 'war, which, du ring the contest, was visible in the immediate vicinities of the camp, and in the IJealities espceial;y liable to be afFveted, has been carried by the roost na , ural causes into nearly every villiage in the hitch contaminatiug thousands who hare hitherto been pure. The poiitif al and financial condition of the country has 111.0 helped n'ti..,the ruin of hundvedet of young men. Money easily ob tained i. easily spent, and ten dollars now elianttt'c hands with leis deliberation than ore dollar t'e'tra since.

They are taught too much that good moral character is of no minor importance in American life. They see too many bad men occupying high social position The tone of society al ways deter mine more or less the course of young men." Midnight Reflections: It would appear that nothing but the heavy progreSs of time, nothing but the self ish torpor of raiddl6 age,enables us to calcu late the mighty ebb and flow of the spring tide of life or, analyze the clouds and sun shine of "the April climate of years." How little do the young appreciate the value of youth—that brief season of vivid impres sions, when mind an 3 heart - a - nd - h - oly are a like untouched by the corruptions of mortal nature; when the eye sees with its own sight; '1 the - bosom swells - with its own emotions; ' when the love of God and . of his creatures is warta_aaLbrightw" in us; when the scorn of the scorner not.reached our ears, nor the iron.of adversity entered into our soul.-- I 'Rumors of wrong and evil and suffering, as- I sail us, but we reject - a lesson - that - firTds--n-o -ectio in our experience. • Nay, so unreal is the pietnro of human affliction that we look forth on- those shadows imparted to the imaginary landscape of life by the homilies of the old and the still more frigid lessons of written wisdom as only in- I tended to set forth with brighter lustre the glittering points of joy and prosperity spark ling at intervals on its surface.

Buoyed np by the confidence of requited Toro, she bids a fond and grateful adieu to the life that is past, and turns with excited hopes and joyous anticipation to the happi ness to come.

The last sensation, not at all to be depend ed on, we find in the St. Louis Democrat, as subsequent to Mr. Lee's,arrival at Chicago.— We copy: .

Wherever he went be was pointed at by the curious as the "great-Mr. Lee—the man that drawed the Opera House." When he arose in the morn ing ho found cards of invitation to dine, and on hts pillow wore damp newspapers filled ish accounts of the drawing, envious. bio graphical sketches of himself, and eirojec tares as to "what he would., do with it."— On going to breakfast he was faced and fink ed by gaping snobs talking about the_ Opera House, and wondering now ninny marriages. ble daughters be had, and wha-t-sort---of a father-in-law he would make: IT ho walked into the street a multitude of ragged boys and sharp nosed men followed at his heels, shouting "This is Mr. Lee—this is tha Opera Ilouse man." Men of all sorts pressed up to get a look at him, and-not-a-few-introdu--1 ced themselves to him, and proposed going into business with him. Many were the offers he received to trade the Opera 11 ou.e for Chicago corner lots, pc. troleutu lauds, Montana mining shares, rail road stock, &c Some wanted him to put. the house up st raffle, and generously offered to act as - his business agents for a •'triflin'g compensation."
