A CERTAIN YOUNU MAN

Has attracted the attontion of T. T. He hasn't been long out of school. He was, not long since fair and fresh iu the countonanoe, but since he went to'Clerking ho has grown pale. It is a peculiar kind of palo*. This kiud don't come from confinement in the house, or from over attontion to business. Whisky and women will do it. That young man had better swear off. If there is more than one, all hands can swear.

A CBHTAIN BCSTNJM8 MAN,

Who is getting to be a regular "bloat," had better tako tho oath. Come to think of it, thero area number. They were rather fine looking young men a year or two since. But now, if you were to dress up a drove of hogs in hat, coat and pants, and put these young men among them, a stranger would find it difficult to toll which wero hogs and which were men. There isn't much difference any way, only hogs don't have nice Wives and children, whito these men do. If those bloat* could only see themselves as others see them, and despise themthev might bo induced to swear off. Soino men

don't

bloat, but only look rod

in tho face and get pimples. These can swear off with safety also.

f,

TUK LODOKS,

Should swear off holding so many meetings and continuing them so Into. It is a burning shame to tako young then away from their families three and four nights in a week, and keep them out till two and three o'clock in the morning. Thero must be an awful pressure of business upon thoso lodges. It is wearing out these young men, for they look palo and red eyed aftor their lod^e meetings. It iswronurto put all tho hard work upon tho younger members. The old pt'opU go to lodgo oulyonce a week, and get homo early, but the young men go ot ton and stay lato. T. T. would suggest to tho wives of these young men, in tho strictest confidence, that their husbands toll tho truth when they say they have boon to lodge, bat as there aro different kinds of lodges, it may help to get tho whole truth if they are ssked where they lodged? No doubt they go to lodge, but It would be better tor them to lodge at home. These lodgers that keep till tbo woo suia' hours ought to swear off.

DOCTORS

Should swear off visiting those patients which keep them op late and out nights. Sometimos it would lie nonprofessional to refuse to go but those patients who are able to sit up and be at tho table, and shufHothe cards, and take a fair amount of stimulants, are better off if they are uet visited during the witching hours. It is better to swear off from such "practice." It is perfectly professional to do so. Business men who are out on the same business can also swear off with safety. Health and business will bo benefited by a good deal of such swearing.

THE J.AWYE1W

Will find this a good time to swear off those rows into which they g«t every now and then, when inkstands, lawbooks and eVen chairs take to themselves wings aud fly »b#nt promiscuously. Aud while the legal fraternity la swearing, they might aa well swear ven|Maoa upon all members with large tempers and small brains who get into these fames. Thsrs are various other practices which lawyers might exercise their skill at swearing upoa, but T. T. will not waste time in giving advice which will not be taken.

But T. T. finds it too exhaustive to same elaborately all the classes who eugbtto swear ofl. A few "TS|§?«,ttlSCBUJkNBOVS Ones must suffice. Preachers should gwsar off long seriaons sad stupid ease, and it wouldn't hurt mueh te swear off a piece of sosae of their prayers. The Gazette should swear off trying to teach the Journal grammar. It can't be done, and thero is no use trying. Everybody "seen" that the Journal will say "U .OB"

ONE MORE OONfi.

We have already commenced to write 1875. Strange isntit, how the years go by now. For the last twenty they have been gradually quiokening their fcace each ever the other, until, from creeping lik^ snails they have come to run like swift racers. We can each remember a time when a year seemed an eternity, a period too great for our minds to take in without first cutting It into the four grand quarters of the seasons. It seemed thpn as if winter was without end, and suminor, beginning with the soft and but half-remembered gladness of spring intensifying into the solstitial heat of the long July and August and at last rounding out into tho golden autumn, when the pumpkins were yellow in the cornfields and tho late apples reddened into vigorous ripeness on the trees, and still one day of this misty, marvelous beauty following another until we actually were surfeited and panted for release—the years made up of" such seasons seemed almost a life-time each. But all that is changed now. We have no more such stolid, unyielding winters. The summer begins and ends ere we are aware. The seasons have lost all their old-time leisureliness. We have spoiled them with our railroads and telegraphs. They gallop by with unseemly haste, scarcely pausing for us to give them a welcome until they are gone. There are not any more such summers and winters as there used to be. I have known Sundays that were each as long as the whole week is now. Perchance it is different with that flaxen-haired littlo fellow and hi* still younger sister playing tnere in the corner. May be to their little souls tho winter is yet a cycle and the summer an eternity. I hope so. I hope children are a«» they used to l*» when you and I were little. The world has changed so to our eyes as lustrums and decades have gone toy—things are so different, so much smaller and meaner, yes, and so much grander and nobler too, than they seemed then, that we would Mn look back to one thing that has not changed and cannot changechildhood—with all it# old, mysterious, blissful ignorance.

But there is no time for dreaming now. These fast-occurring anniversaries, when we mark the birth-day of Christ one year further into the distance of the pest, remind us that if wo have anything to do it is tlmo wo were at it. This is peculiarly a time for looking back over the past and forward Into the ftiture. As tho Merchant balances his books and takes account of his stock so it te eminently proper that each one of us should tako an inventory of the roan IN of tho year. It hi not alone a question of hew many dollars we have made, or lost either, but ef what we have done for ourselves and others. Not mors should everyone of us seek to know what roa terial progress he has mads than what intellectual and moral progress. What have you done for your Mind? Ifave you improved It, mlMfpA, expanded and disciplined its faculties? Have you read and studied some Mid hare the subjects that engrossed your attention been of a worthy character Have you passed by aU books of solid and enduring value and buried yourself only with weak, watery novels—drinkiag the thin insipid whey of the soured milk rather than the delicious cream that floats abevs it? Are you aaf wisat and stranger than you ware Jptar age thia day, more capable of deifcg asd Alloying Or rather is. your mind weaker and poorer than It'was then It is for you to answer and for you to account. God knows you have had opportunities t* improve yourself if you have not used 111'-m, or tf *««l wn-r*

than that—proatitutod them to base abuse—your last 3'ear has not been a very enviable one.

than you

were this time a year ago? Have you gained any notable victories over your baser nature, subdued anger, pride and lust? Have you pulled any vile weeds out of the garden of your heart and planted fragrant and beautiful things in their stead? Are you conscious of possessing more patience, gentleness, charity, integrity, nobility than you did at any previous period of your life? Has the world more joy and beauty lbryou than ever before? Do you feel that you have lived a year of continual struggle with the evil that is in your nature and made effort to weed it out? Well, if you have to say no" to all these questions you have not spent a very enviable year. We are what we make ourselves, depend on that. By birth we may be better or worse than others, blessed with a buoyant, sunny nature that makes us half angel to begin with, or we may be brought into the world bearing the irritability, despondency and ihypochondria of many generations: in blood. No matter for,that. We,are not responsible for the sins pf our fath era. What concerns us and the world to know, is whether we have made our-4 selves better or worse then our birth made us whether we have nurtured and developed to its utmost all the good that was in us whether we have patiently and hopefully fsught against the impulses that were by nature bad. If we havo not done all that

oould to

we

correct and improve our natural disposition we shall fare the worse for it. I know there is a doctrine that we are what we are born and cannot be othervyifce but it is a wicked and foelish doctrine. JBecause a piece of land has & stubborn soil and is matted through with ugly roots we do sot pronounce it worthless. On the contrary we set patiently to work to dig the roots out, lighten and pulverize the soil and thpugh it is hard work, as the farmer will attest, yet everyone knows that such reclaimed ground has often the strongest and most enduring soil of any on the farm. The man who gives- his moral]" nature i' to the dogs because it is not a good nature or because it is a mean, wretched, miserable nature, docs a very foolish thing: for if he takes hold of it with a vigorous hand and a firm will and gains the mastery of it, the victory is all tho greater and such a man will be better and stronger by virtue of his very struggles thaii ho who had no suph battles to fight. If one has a poor ||iiysical conftitution he does not give it up in despair. He will make tbo most of it anyhow. He will study the laws of health, will be careful in his food and clothing, will chango his location, If necessary for the sake of abetter climate, will make any sacrifice to strengthen and build up his system. Well, the soul is worth more than the body. I caro not now what your religions views are, be you skeptic, infidel or atheist, still I say the soul Is worth moro than the body tor tho body Is oBly tbo medium through which we manifest ourselves, tho real entity, the KV», will surely take on some other form when this is cast asido.

I did not mean to turn preacher, yet it seems such a time for self-study, such a time for calling ourselves to account for the past and of making ourselves promise for tho future. As far as I am concerned, I never can see the old year fading away and a now one entering on its vacant place, without falling into a reverie of self-questioning and examination. The mood grows on me from tho beginning to tho end of December, like the disposition for a good, long, hearty cry comes creeping upon one for hours beforehand. And when onco the catechism is begun there Is hardly an end of it. It branches out into a hundred ways and roaches a thousand unexpected results. No ono can sit dawn with himself for an hour in this self-Inquisition without receiving a great benefit. If he can nice bring himself face to faco with his own soul, to see himself not "as others see hiin" (for they may see him in a vary false and unreal light) but aft he

and

as he alone out of all the beings in the universe perhaps, knows that he is, be has gone a good way towards making himself more of a man than be evw has been or ever would be withaut such self* examination. When I say tnsn of course I mean womankind as well. Try It, if you are not too proud, and If yau are to© proud try it the more, for yon have the greater need of it.
