••ft: {From last woek'ssecond edition.] V'.' 8WKARIMJ OFF DAY. Jf'V A good many "new leaves" are going 0 be "turned over" Monday. It is the beginning of anew year and high moral /resolves are as common as over-dne bills in a retail grocery store. Extravagance is freely denounced as tbe bane of a peaceful exist ence. Economy is regard «d .as a virtue worthy of tbe highest oommendatieh and to be cultivated. To, 'the average young man, tobacco and alcoholic stt mutants have suddenly become abhorrent, and with heroic firmness and much secret satisfaction he boldly announces his stern and unchangeable determination to, on the 1st day of January, forswear them utterly. He even figures up the estimated annual savings in cash by this reform for a term of years, and invests, in advance, apportion of the money in tbe purohase of a handHome watch chain or other ornamont of enduring yalue^ Keeping out of debt 1m another popular mode of .reform at the beginning of a new year, merchants will- inaugurate a system of celling good a only for cash, with all the confidence in tbe world that they will never let another dollar's worth go out of their stores on time. Every mau who bos a vice, or a bad habit, or •weakness of any kind, with the additional inbarrassiii uit conscience "Will help to signalize the day by-afc-tempti ga pure. A good m&ay persons """will make a start atTIW'Tor atfcin o! new habits, such as telling the truth, -going 0 church, reading things useful, spending a few evenings at home each week, etc. Quite a number will givo up going to Centennials till the times get easier.

T. T. doesn't pretend to have beard of all the "swearing eff" that is to take placo this New Years' day, and if he had beard, it might not be proper to mention it all publicly. Yet, for the encouragement of emigration, it aiight be mentioned that

C.('15. Ilosford isn't going to let tbe Opera House to any mere amateurs without the cash in advance. They (tbe ani's) area mighty clever set of fellows and nobody ean say they have ever fail ed to pay their bills so lar, but their private fortunes can scarcely be inexhaustible, and the drait upon them grows heavier with every entertainment.

Frank Danaldson has sworn a solemn, high tragedy oath Uf murder tbe first •on ot a sea biscuit that says "Lear" to him again.

Wcbl^Daato has registered avow (in the Revenue Office) to give up politics and henceforth devote bis entire time to philanthropic efforts fof tbe ameliora tion of distressed potato bugs, and philosophic investigation as to tbe nature and habits of cross-eyed Irish potatoes the result of his researches tM be given to the world in a beautiful plustrated three-volume almanao in time for the Christmas holidays of 1877.

Prof. Wiley will make increased exertions the coming year for the speedy introduction of "Hoyle on Games" as a text' bonk in tbe public schools and will waste no more time trying to induce the Board to adopt ."Egg'eston on the Commissioner*" for their official guidance in spelling "salary." As for himself, he piously trusts that geography will be its own* reward.

Auditor Royse, feeling the need of good, healthy exercise—something that can be practiced daily, indoors and in any-sort of weather*—hat purchased ha*d trotting briar root pipe an'* a two pound package of very robust "perique" tobacco, and will' begin the hygienic development of his embryo mwele Immediately after a he m^tjutlnal meal New Year*' morning. It isgiot only expected that he will be able to "raise" that meal, but that he will feel like be could "throw up" his immortal souL If the indomitable perseverance of the man makes hiui the strength of a Sampson, let no one wonder.

Judge Craina^ffho for six months {Mat has let "ooncem^^t like a worm i' the bud feed upon his damask cheek," until he has scarcely any "cheek" worth speaking about left, has solemnly resolved Tor the future that, come what may, he will henceforth sprak out bis sentiments regarding Tilden and the Democratic party and that, on all proper occasions, he will net heeitate to say that be has but little oonfidenoe left in •ither their patriotism or their proles* 1

sions, as a party of Reform. The Judge ,is mild but he's firm. Perry Tuttle has taken a complicated Chinese oath (in burnt brandy and loaf sugar) to give less strenuei|s and persevering attention, in future, to life insurance and newspapers, and more to the speedy completion of his great 'historical work on tbe "Rise and Fill of tbe Dutch Republicans." He will also finish, in time for tbe May fishing at Put-in-Bay, his monumental novel, the fascinating "Romance of a Young Old Man."

Pat. Shannon,' for some time, hasbeen gradually withdrawing himself from the allurements of note shaving and worldly influence of those wicked scoffers, Voorhees, Patterson, Lamb, et al, and is now quite fixed in tbe determination to henceforth devote himself wholly to the cultivation of religion and election beta. In this pious resolution »he is much strengthened and sustained by tbe edifying example and judicious council of that eminent, and spiritual-minded young-layman, Henry McCabe.

Tom Murray has prepared—or if he hasn't he ought to—an advertisement lor insertion in certain leading papers, which indicates with sufficient clearness what he is up to for i877. It is supposed to read something like this:

WANTED—CORRESPONDENCE (WITH A VIEW TO MATRIMONY.) Ayoungman of good habits, superior personal appearance ana tne most rumist domestic tastes (with all the latter phrase might imply) wishes to correspond with a single lady not more than twenty-one years|of age, who will love him for himself alone, Send for photograph.

Mart Hollinger, believing the pursuit of politics inconsistent with true goodness, will hereafter have nothing to do with conventions, primaries or the like —or even war meetings—but will de vote bis time and talents exclusively to tbe spread of Christianity and sale of pure milk. If he seems hereafter at any time to be electioneering, It'must be attributed to the force of habit and not as the evidence of a lapse from virtue.

Capt. Potter will endeavor to arrange his business so as to resume shortly his peppery letters to The Gazette, and ior the special delectation of the editor of that paper, will tfpad- on some Democrat's toes every time. Tt^e captain has bis plans are all laiQ for

00 ISO. 239. A CERTAIN PARADOX. £. It may seem to be a paradoxical statie ment and yet, like many other paradoxes, it is a tVue onet that we live both too much and too little in the present We live too much in the present when we live after tbe hand to mouth fashion that is so prevalent in this age and particularly in thi9 country. There area great many exceptions of course but the general rule is, among men of all ages, to do whatever will bring tbem most money just at tbe time Tbe pro*peot of an increase of salary or of profits seldom fails to make tbem jump from the business in which they are engaged into any oth er, no .matter how dissimilar it may be. This is especially true of the young men. They begin life at random and zig-zag from one pursu to another with such rapidity that their friends iu the next town are wholly unable to keep track of tbem. And they take this to be a sign of suocess and so, in a certain sense, it is but in another and better sense it is anything but success. The objections to this method of living are: !J

First, that it destroys the continuity of life. It tends to make a m*n "Everything by tarns and nothing lOrffri3" It is plain thst there can be no great excellence attained in any parsuit in this way. Eminence is reached only by long and patient labor in a single direction.1 Life is too ahoft td Warn liiSUy things and iearn th«m Well, no matter how bright one's Acuities may be. The men who have become illustrations in any branch of learning or in any pursuit in life have, almost without exception, begun it young and pursued it to old age. And this'is true aot only of the learned professions but just as veil of all the practical pursuits of lite. Certainly everyone wit a tbe proper amount of intelligence find ambition deeirea to attain spme emfbence in some direction. Surely no one would chouse to be a mere make shift all his life, doing whatever happens to offer and depeudent on circumstances for an uncertain livelihood toned about nil his days, frt!H place to place and fhm bu*lue«s to business,'*•* If he welre fortune's (or rather raisfor-

TERRE HAUTE, IND., SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY 6,1877:

living we have spoken of. And facta will, we belief^in a large measure explain the almost universal crudity and slovenliness which characterise the bualneas and work ot this country. Tbe young men do not, as they do in older countries, settle down to some trade or profession snd follow it through life. If they did there would be thoro lghness* and some degree of excellence instead of universal alight.

In the aeeond place life is mads mueh harder by this method of living. The longer a man works at a given thing the easier it becomes for him to do. He attains facility and proficiency- by experience. Every one who reads this can call to mind the difficulties which surrounded him on his entrance into some new position and bow speedily thejr vanished as bis experience increased. It is true of everything. The persons who do things well, and yet with "moderate exertion, are those who have become "old hands at tbe business.'* So that, usually, the longer one follows a given pursuit the lessonereus his duties grow and the more time he has for the relaxations and amenities of life whereas, on the other hand, he who is incessantly chsnging his employment is always "in hot water" and- "over bead and ears in work."'}

In the thira place the'changeable man in the end makes far less money than tbe other. Wealth waita on the beck of eminence and generous compensation rewards ability. The man who is willing to starve awhile in his chosen pursuit, if need be, is very often the man who has a princely income after awhile. It was Lord Erskine who lived without grumbling (biBtory is mute as to his wife) on "cow meat" in the first years of bis profession, forseeing the illustrious period that was to follow. And his case is by no means an exceptional one in this respect. We cannot all be Erskines and it is net necessary one should be but we can all imitate hia example to this extent, we can each attain superiority somewhere, either as a tinner, shoemaker, bookkeeper, builder, preacher, doctor or digger in the ground. Lord Erskine would have been as eminent in some humbler Sphere as he was at the Bar of England, if his inclinations bad

ter and more pftbfittfme alow calling than Insignificant in a high one. After all tbe same, degree of skill and attainments is about as weltrpiliftor in one pursuit .as in another, and the eminent negro minstrel has about the same income as the great lawyer or the popular divine. So ^feat the old adage ,of, "shoemaker, stick to your last,"-baa good deal of sound philosophy in it.

These are some of the reasons, shd 'idoubt not many others might be found, why young men should settle down to some particular pursuit and not leave it for any other aimply because the other promises them a Httle bettor immediate returns.

As to the othei branch of the parodox, namely, living too Iittl6 In, the present, my allotted space will compel a summary disposition of it. We live too little in the present by dot improvipg present, opportunities as well as we ought' by thinking it will, "be all right by aud by" whether we mfrice much effort or not by counting altogether too much on what the intervening* years will do for us aad altogether too little on what, we can and ought to do for ourselves by vainly believing that a great atructure can be built without laying each stone snd brick in its proper r^^ptnd ip the proper time and mannei dreaming of the future when we ought to be hard at work with pick and trowel in a word by putting off till some,other time the things that ought to be done new. In these and other ways we live too little in the present, ss we shall find out to our sorrow by and by.

In voice, facial expression, by-play, and dress be is a superbemhodiment of the popular idea of the speculator who, having not a cent with which to bless himself, sows in the clouds of financial prosperity, aud feasts his imagination on the millions to be derived from some new venture. Intensely funny, and in perfect harmony with the character, is tbe mysterious sir with which hs announces that the fortune lies in "mules" or something else which can be secured for almost nothing and sold at a profit of a thousand per cent.
