SJ" The Lecture before the Mechanic* HUtoriesl Society", on next Monday night, is to be fieSlverwl by Ret. JACOB CUAPMAM, of Marshall, Illinois. irwjjECT—" The Pleasures of Science."

Young Men and the Profession*. Notwithstanding the professions are every where crowded and thousand* who have embraced them lire starving for want of employment throughout the country, we still notice that young men, with no particular aptitude for professional life, and with no other qualifications than those which pride and aversion to manual occupation* give, are rushing into them a* eagerly as ever. It is thought \,y many of these, and the idea i* too often encuur'aged by parents, that professions give men a position in society which cannot be otherwise attained, and offer facilities for arriving at distinction not

lawyer in the landf Intelligence and refinement need not be confined to any particular species of employment, business, or profession. It is alike improving to individuals of every class, and should be regarded" as alike nccessary. When this ia properly understood, young men who have had advantages in the way of learning will not find it neccssary to resort to a profession »n order to find use for it, or lo se

cure its display, While the professions &re offering no inducements for young men to enter tl.em, every other business is handsomely remunerating those who closely follow it. We kntw of young men, educated as mechanics, who arc receiving salaries of fifty or sixty dollars per month, in their respective avocations. How much belter are their situations than those of young men who having studied law or medicine, are scarcely earning enough to psy their board.

Young men in selecting a business for life, should fix upon that, lor which, by nature, inclination, and education, they arc peculiarly qualified. Parents should not from nny falso notions of respectability, constrain their sons to enter upon a course for which they are naturally unfitted, while perhaps another lies open beforo them, in which they could easily suceed. Regarding every honest employment us respectable, let the developing inclinations of the boy point out that one, for which his faculties shall he especially trained, that when he bocomes a man ho can readily arid pleasantly aecura lor himself a comfortable living, anti, above all, an independent position in society.

The profession of the law may not-require more lalsnts, than the pursuits of mechanism, though it docs those of a very different order. Because a boy oan write, read and spell with facility, ho does not thereby indicate that he should bo set aside for nor even if ho has pnsssd through College. He may after all that make a better carpenter than a lawyer.

It will be seen by reference to a notice in our advertising columns lhat the Common Council havo ordered an election to bo held on next Monday for tho purpose of electing five Trustees for the town of Terre-Ilaute, to carry into cfiect the system of Graded Schools, Let good men bo oelected who will enter upon the discharge of their duties with teal and activity.

The damage in different parts of the country from the late freshets seems to have been considerable. The damage in the White Water alley is •animated as not being less than 81,500,000—that to citizens! of lispokville alone, says the American, being at least tMO^Oty^nridge* on railroads every where almost, havo been swept away, causing interruption of travel and detention of mails, besides great leas to companies. We havo been very fortunate in this section of tho country, and our railroad from here to Indianapolis has not sustained any injury.

We understand that Guy C. Welch, whose dwelling house was burned on the night of the 1st of January, had an insurance of $tK-0, or upwards upon tho building and 5300, upon the furniture.— This makes his misfrotune uot HO great as was at first supposed, though it ia bad enough to bo deprived of house and home at this season of the year, when there are no tenements of any sort to be rented.

Wealthy Men of Terro-Haute. 1 We present our readers with the following tabular statement of the wealthy men of Terre-Haute. It will be seen that our flourishing City contains tto small amount of capital. We give in the list below, only those who pay a tax of $5) and upwards, and we would state that there are hundreds who pay 925 and above. To publish

the fifty dollar Tax-payer, would extend the list much longer than our space would conveniently admit. ».*•«$

Q^r* Lewis Cans and Thomas II. Benton are two of tho most robust and healthy men to be seen' in Washington. Both havo been remarkably temperate from boyhood. Gen. Cass has ever been a a cold water man, and looks as if he would last a scorc of years yet. Benton appears fresh and energetic as ever, and an exchange relates the following of Old Bullion:

Ho said recently in conversation with a gentleman who spoke of his being the East of the group. 'Yes,'said he,'Clav, Webster and Calhoon are gone—years ago Dr. told me, when these men are dead, you will bo fresh and vigorous as ever.* My habits of living do it until I was thirty, I drank nothing but water aar! Since then I have drank only what circumstances made it fit I should drink. Temperance and moderation kept me in health and strength. Besides I adopt the Roman ime—bath with cold water and rub dry. Thai's ircise. None of your common flesh brushes, but stioh as they rub horses legs with!,

O^r A^vnter in tho Whig Review suggests that the name of the Whig patty be changed. It is what we expected—See what he says—

A citizen of New York gave us the title of'whig.' Tho party have religiously preserved and venerated it, up to the third of November. But the vision of Constantino was wanting to Mr. Philip ilone. No bright image appeared to him, ineribed with the legend, 'in hoc signo rinces.* The word was not suggested to htm by inspiration. ^Ve have supported it manfully but it ha* not supported *i*. The word in itself is*meaninglesa. Many of thci .great men with whose glory it was associated, aud in whose life it would have been a sore trial to abandon it have gone. They have left us their memory but they can'no longer give us their labors, and their stiength. Meantime new emergencies have arisen great duties press themselves upon us we need the co-operation of aU classes of citizens every vote is of value, and dearly to be prized.—

Why should we endure the slightest disability of which it is in our power to rid ourselves! Why shou!d we fear a change of tide* when a change can be made so much for the better!

Collections of Debts.

Tho Cincinnati "Nonpareil'' says that "the idea of abolishing all laws respecting the collection ol debts, is now quite prevalent and familiar to the people, and is gaining advocates every day." That paper is in favor of it. We believe that Wm. D. Griswold of this city, in the summer of 1850, when a candidate for tho Convention to revise our our Constitution, first presented this subject to our citizens, and uiged some pretty strong reasons for the abolishment of such laws. We havo no doubt but that this is a matter upon which some of our future Legislators will h|g 6 to act.

but were unable to be present, on the occasion, and therefore, in speaking of it, give the expressions of others. We can however speak from personal knowledge of the pleasures of the evening on board the boat, where many of our ladies and gentleman engaged until a late hour in the most deligfhtfol dance of the season. The Cabin afforded plenty of room in which to "trip the light fantastic toe," the music was fine, the refreshments nice, the servants attentive to the wants of the guests* and the officers of the boat kind and gentlemanly,

The Eliza is one of the best boats we have ever seen on the Wabash. She is-large. and her Cabins are fitted up in handsome style. She Has already established herself in the favor of our citizens. She is loading for New Orleans and will be up again as soon as she can make the trip down and back.

as to who they are. It is hot as a personal matter the inquiry need be regarded at all—by them, or by us

Mr. Greeley of the Tribune says: "To save sundry known and unknown friends the trouble of writing any more letters soliciting loans or gifts of $1,000 lo $10,000, the Editor of the Tribune begs leave to state that he has not made $100,000 by a speculation in City real Estate—as indeed, he could not have done, seeing that he never owned $10,QQ0 worth nor bought any on speclation in his life. Should he ever make any such haul as he seems to have credit of, he will give all his friends early public notice, so that each one may have a fair start. At present however the probability ofhis making any such sum is not visible, even to the eye of Faith.

Spiritual Existence.

A merchant of Boston writing to a lady, who is a firm believer in Spiril Rappings, informs her that be has recently been on an expedition to the spirit land. He brings the intelligence that Daniel Webster is in the third heaven, though he does not state anything in relation to the nature of his employment there. He also says that Prof. Webster, the murderer of Dr. Parkman, is in the first heaven, keeping tavern, and that Dr. Parkman is boarding out his bill with him!

Emanual Swedenborg, it is said, lived along time on a cup of water and a cracker a day, and enthusiastic believers in spiritual manifestations contend now that any person can see and converse with spirits if they reduce themselves to such spare diet. The desire of persons for good living 7oo| almost precludes the idea of expecting that such examples of self-denial will be numerous. But if persons can live on such a small allowance of food in this world, the subject consideiingthe high price of provisions, is ceitainly worthy of a careful investigation. If man, by spiritualizing his nature, can live so econonically here, how much more so |can he live in the 'world to comet* Even if it cold water and a cracker per day certainly a pleasing consideration.
