"""Some Things the ''Young Men are -i* Thinking About." AETO ED.EXPRESS.—Commenting,with

some

severity, upon the recent holiday orgies, a city paper asks "What are the young men of the country thinking of, to thus debauch themselves, and take such rapid trides to an early grave?" This question involves too much to ba answered a? many other important questions are, in general terms, or in a set phrase, wfe'°c!) is satisfactory only because it is familiar. Its perfect solution is, fear, beyond the capacity of any head borne about upon the shoulders of any modern reformer.

But, so far as the space of a newspaper communication will allow, let us speak the young men alluded to, as they are usually classitied—those who must icork and those who need not, and see whethe a partial anxwer cannot be found in each case.

Beginning with the youth who can boast of abundant means for the present and great expectations for the future Why does he become addicted to thai species of debauchery which inevitably hurries him, first to tho jail and then ti the penitentiary, the hospital or poo house? Leaving out of the account those transmitted qualities and hereditary tenrl^ encies, which exercise a more powerfu' influence upon men's fortunes than the careless observer suspects, the greatest temptation to the folly and incipient vice of dissipation, is the impunity which wealth, or prosperity, secures.

Let the "curled darling," about whom there is nothing respectable but hia father's name, be guilty of any excess he chooses, the ever present, baleful Benseol safety sustains him, even after he has lost consciousness of all else. He knows that the guardians of the public peace, sworre to see that the laws providing for the public safety shall be faithfully enforced, can not see when they are violated by a rich young man or a rich old man's Bon He knows that his associates, higher, perhaps, than himself on the plane ol morality—through some combination of favoring circumstances—will laugh at his brutality, and speak of it as a natur al exhibition of youthfuls sprightlines, and that fair faces will smile on him approvingly after he has washed the blood of a midnight encounter or the mud of the gutter from his person as they did before he deliberately walked forth on his earrand of self-degradation.

Little as theyoungsot and libertine realizes the great mystery of human life, lie knows that the young ladies of his "set! Qlike all of their sex, are hopeful, trustful and easily and willingly blinded and, reckoning upon these traits, he very justly concludes that co long as his own or his father's money lasts, it will be impossible for him to lose standing in society controlled by feminine taste and judgment Whatever may be, at times, his premonitions of his own gloomy fate,when he enters the parlor or drawing room he sees no •hadowon the smiling countenances that •urround him of the coming time when the beaming beauties who now so graciously overlook his faults will be the deserted wivee or helpless widows of spendthrifts, and drunkards: end as his last resort, as his "something to fall back upon," when every thing else fails, he looks forward to the life of the fashionable swindler, or, in the slang of the period, the "dead beat.'

It is hard to imagine a state of circumstances in which a young man, born heir to wealth and its advantages would be safe from the devil, that lies in wait for him in the glass. Genius and ambition are but snares, his father's warning and his mother's prayers are but idle breath, the drunken fiend never releases his first grip, and there are few able to rescue victims out of his hand.

Turning from those whom the world envies, to the class who will always compose the bulk of humanity—those who must work in order that they may eat, or

of demagogues—heartless and soulless as men can be that money, by tens ef thou

sands in every town, and by hundreds of millions throughout the country, is expended ona system of religion, the beniBcent influences of which are not expected to reach their cases and they hear from the lips of an eminent pastor in this city "that the Churches must look to the Sab"bath Schools for the useful men of the "future—not one in a hundred of those "who have grown up in sin can ever be reclaimed." They see that the path or the priest and Levite, who "passed by on the other side" of the fallen one, is thronged by multitudes of self-consecrated philanthropists, who deem it a3 sacred a duty to their respectability to avoid contact with a man who has been drunken a? with a woman who has been abandoned and they find that where they need sympathy and confidence, friendly advice and words of encouragement and good cheer, nothing but rebake and denunciation is thrown at them, and thrown with reckless and awkward hands. "The young men," rich and poor, "are thinking" that as the social and religious interests of society are now directed, reform is impossible, to all but the strongest natures.

Look to it, ye who think yourselves wise, and would have others think you good.

INDEX.

EGOTISTICAL CONVERSATION.

The Unseemly Obtrusion of Our Own Affairs in Daily Conversation.

From tho Philadelphia Public Ledgoi.] The subject of one's self, that is, ol one's own virtues and faults, likes and dislikes, hopes and fears, successes and failures, doubts and uncertainties, is naturally

most engrossing theme, and oue occupying a large share of nearly every person's thoughts. But how far it is wise to intro duce it as a topic of general conversation, is a problem -which greatly affects social enjoyment, and one which all who desire to confer pleasure by their society will do well to examine. There are times when personal— affairs are the most fitting themes for discussion, when freely and naturally to communicate to another what lies nearest to one's own heart and interests, will awaken a sympathy and cement a friendship thatcould not well bespaied. the man who never unbosoms himself to any one, who shuts himself and all his intimate concerns away from the sympathy of mankind may be surrounded by acquaintances, but will never have a friend, and must be content to lose some of the most natural and pleasurable passages of life.

This mutual and sympathetic confidence between congenial and faithful friends is someihing wholly diflercnt from the habit, so common with many, of constantly introducing themselves or their families, their outside interests or their inner feelings in conversation with those who cun not be supposed to entertain any special interest in such matters. There are some whose whole object in their social intercourse seems to be self-display. Every topic started reminds them of some passage in their own lives, which they hasten to repeal they are ready to give to all who will listen the history of their daring exploits, their successful speculations, heir unlucky failures even to confess heir peculiar temptations and weaknesses, or to recount their special tasies and preferences. When from any reason they ire deprived of the power of thus exhibiting themselves, they are vacant, dull and uninterested. Society to them is only desirable as it affords an opportunity to imprint themselves upon it.

The extreme exhibition of this egotism iB so unwelcome that society herself puts a check upon it, and those who yield unreservedly to its indulgence are sometimes forced into self-restraint by rough, though wholesome, lessons yet there are few of us who can claim entire freedom from its enticements, and many who have learned in some degree to subdue the inclination to talk of them-elves, still fail to realize the vital interests in other subjects which can alone develop the true value of conversation. Every one who mingles in society has the double privilege of receiving and conferring pleasure. Both these objects are frustrated by love of dwellingtoomuch upon self. The subject is one which forbids the free in terchange of thought. Indeed, nothing can be done but to listen reluctantly one who persistently talks of hitusel Politeness enforces the concealment candid opinion, while he chains down both his own and his hearer's intelligence to the level of his own personality. All this dulls the brightness and deadens the .ivacity that should inspire social life as this self-assertion and annoyance creates is as displeasing as its intrinsic insipidity.

It may well be doubted whether it to the advantage of any one to

Bleep, or enjoy the commonest comforts of .reflection that after all they have not life, and who, with no expectation of made greater asses of themselves than the praise or acknowledgment keep the world's machinery in motion,—and you find a large majority of them "thinking" most of their time of the fascinations of (he deadly draught and the pleasures that follow it. They know, especially those who have helpless ones depending upon their exertions, that while there is no possible justification for their conduct, they can astign for it many causes that seem entirely competent to produce the terrible state of circumstances complained of.

They see that in political or public

thti3

pose himself to the gaze of others by un wittingly exhibiting faults. Few char acters can be laid bare without displaying many flaws, and the habitual self assert ers are ever unconsciously showing their own deficiencies. A better appreciation of the value of conversation should duce them to keep more in the shade when enjoying social inercourse. Everything which tends to destroy its freedom, or to fetter it to a single tedious topic, must impair its excellence, and this is sure to follow the obtrusion of self ish interest. A want of sympathy with others lies as much at the root of this evil as excessive egotism. Those who do as they would be done by, and who cord to others the same" kind attention nd respect that they crave for themselves, never offend society by their un seemly obtrusion of their "own affairs.

The Stupi 'ity of After-Dinner Speeches. Many of the failures in after-dinner speeches arise, says a writer in London Soeicty, probably from a want of prepara lion. People go to dinner anticipating to be called upon to make a speech, and yet go without a single sentence upon their lips, without a single thought in their heads. 'Ihey trust, like lelemachus at the Spartan court, to the inspiration of the moment, and. like that interesting youth, when the moment comes thev are as mute as mice. They rise in a fluster, acknowledge the cheers which greet them, with a ghastly smile, stammer out a few words, pause, hesitate, stop, quote poetry, or get on the stilts and talk by pet bole or nonsense, according to the turn of their minds, repeat themselves two or three times, and sit down in a cold sweat, possibly thanking Heaven that they are not under the table in a fit of apoplexy, or perhaps consoling themselves with the

rest of the guests, and that they can atone for their failure by adding five guineas extra to their subscription. We are thinking now only of the more favorable cases. Now and then you meet a man who is perverse and stupid, who does not sit down tien his head is gone, who treats a coupli with contempt and resents conversation as an impertimnce a man who simply stands still when his idea* have all van i*hed,a and who, although conscious that his mind is an utter blank, nevertheless persists in keeping on his legs and firing off odd little sentences thai mean nothing, like riflemen firing off blank cart ridge after their shot is all gone. Most

THREE ACES.

Jim Totld's Episode in Social Enrbre.

I don't go miich on little games of keerds played with a stranger, Sence—darned g.iloot!—I took a hand on board the N ateliez Rar ger, With smooth chaps 'hat said they'd like to pass the'time away fn a little social euchre, or some such harmless play.

I never hed such luck afore, in any spot or pl?ce Sly hand wa3 frequent lousy with both bowers and the ace. The chap next to me said, "If we was playing this fur lucre. You'd busius sure: We're lncky that it's only social euchre."

this was poker

And I could di&keered two keerds, I'd have a little joker I'd bacK my three remaining keerds fur all I could afford. Agin thn-e keerds in any hand there is around tho boardl"

1 looked mine over. Rich? You bet Igina chuckle merry. And know'd I had him! "Cap," sez I, "you air my huckleberry!" Then each of us diskeerded two, I had all aces back, And know'd them would lay over any three keerds in the pack!

Soft thing? I guess not! "Cap," sez I, "jest name it if yon please!" Sez he," Wal, sence you air so kind, I'll chip a on these "Jes -o," sez I, "Isee your and go two X' better!" ''That's jest my fix," sez he, "I'm bound that I won't be your debtor." To cut it short I went fur him fast as a little wagoa, I had a sure thing—just the hand to make a hot old "'brag on. My pond got dry. Ho "exiled" me. I spread them aces out "And reached fur that thar "pot," I guess without a lingerin' aoubt.

"Uold on sez he, "them air nOt good," Sez I, "theycan'tbe beat By no three keerds. Them aces mart be jest as good as wheat!" "Wal, here's three clubs—a flush," says he "a flush will still beat threes. And capiure -ur three aces and the 'pot' with perfect ease!"

Plucked? Now y-u're talkin'! Itcasplucked as bare as any gooso! I would hev fit, but 1 soon seed it wouldn't be n» use Them three smooth chaps was on it, and wasn't skeered at danger. Since then I don't go much on social euchro with a stronger!

Railroads.

A local railroad from the Qtiincy gran Ite quarries to the Nepon^et river, in Massachusetts, was opened in 1826, and the Mauch Chunk Railroad, in Pennsylvania, was opened in 1827.

The first railroads in the United States were operated by horse power and station ary engines. Upon the introduction of an LDglMi built locomotive, weighing six ton-:,

OUR NEW YEAR'S GREETING

glance buck over tho work accomplinhed in seven short months, we are sure our cuxtomertt will not wonder at our feeling a little elated at our unusual, but not to us, unexpected success. Oiir first visit to Terre Hruie convinced us thai here, of all the cities in this State, was most needed a reform in the vicious system upon which the Dry Goods business was being conducted. The motto of this sstem was, "Secure the very largesi profit possible on every dollar's worth of goods sold." VVe believed a change was needed and that the people would generously support any firm who, disregarding the machinations of the old high-priced stores, would dare to write over their doors this opposite motto, Sell every dollar's worth of goods at the smallest po-ssible profii consistent with safe business principles." In pursuance of this idea we marked out our course and have pursued it without fear or favor. We expected opposition, for we had been informed of the plans laid for ourdiscomfiture. We were not even sure that this opposition might not take the form of personal violence, so when the high-priced stores took this way to bolster up their failing fortunes, we were hardly disappointed, i, .'i ..1,iiuiw,! ~t-iij.iH.pjs .a tw 'ft N.yj
