JAVJifcUa & CO. cff TT? 4 UK Why so few Succeed. t 3 Life is a continued battle ia which defeat is suffered more often than victory is won. Along its flinty path the foot prints of disas ter are every where seen, and by the way side are thickly strewed the graves of the fallen. Why is it that so few succeed? Why is the hope with which youth sets out so often desolated, and the goal of ambition so rarely reached ? The strife is too often commenced without preparation for the struggle. The young, impulsive and ardont, think they have but to reach forth their hand to pluck the fruit, that Hke the apples of the Hespe rides, is only to be gained alter the highest endurance and the most patient perseverance. Seldom doe, genius give, theyongue of flame tlal secures distinction almost without effort. - Toilsome study and presistent investiga tion and patient experiment are the only modes of realizing a power to create, or eveu to recombine so as to subdue new elements to human use. Moses alone smote the rock, so that the wateq flashed out upon the sands of the desert; but how, step by step, with progress so toilsome that the snail's was rap id in comparison, did the great thinkers and noble inventors proceed, who at last have given the waves of the sea a toncue ! Here- after, their voice utters a language that the rejoicing snores shall understand, but though the glorious cnsumatioQ was unexpected, the preparation had been the work of many minds during Vars of alternate triumph and disappointment. Physical as w?U as mental training is ne cessary for the accomplishment of life victo ries. But when the intellect is well cultivated, the bodily energies are often uncultivated. The mind, like tha refaction upon a machine not lubricated, wears out the mechanism , of the bodyrand its growing weakness and I disorder nullify tho power it envelopes. Ilow ! often a blanched cheek, emanclated lmbs and feeble muscles mark the successful stu dent, who drops into the grave when he is alout to reach the goal of his aspirations We of America have much to learn on this point! A system of intellectual forcingcul ture a babit-of putting boys to the lousi ness of men has produced a speeies of pre eoeity which, however much it may awakeu astouishmeut at the wonderful develojuuenU, will leave -nay, has left manifold euls. At the rate we are now progressing, the time is not far distant when such a t ling as boys will be entirely unknown. Now the Isds o ten have the manners of maturity, and the girls of a lesser age often worabn iu all but physical development. The one criticise plays and play-actors, and adopt the excesses of majority; the other talk of beaus and laces, and dress as tiippani.Iy a.s their mothers, and are scarcely less rotund iu their proportions. To the want of physical culture there ia also to be added a neglect of moral lessona. What school in America teaches "the hu- manities, as they should bo taught ? Where is principle laid down as the ba-ds of all great effects ? Honorable action, not in the received sense, which is promptitude in resenting any conceived insult or suspected affront but honorable action, meaning that squared" upon the golden rule, "do unto others as you would they should do unto you," inculcated as the highest guarauteo of noble results Success achieved, even if it be obtained by chicanery, double dealing, and all perversity is cheered by the multitude. And thousand fnil simply because they have a misconceived notion of manliness a weak appreciation of moral principle. Our teaching is wrong; our example is wrong; our praise and oiir censure are often wrong; and the result is that we see fewer ot those men self-made strong in rectitude a eternal truth; firm in principle as the living rock: ture in character as the mountain stream; and vigorous in mind and body the stuidy oak who shed houor ou early history. N. 0. Picayune. our Best Things Tor JBtirns It mav be put down as a settled fact that the very best application for all kinds of burns and scalds is au immediate aplication of dry wheal flour. It is without controver sy better lhau any and all of the 'healiug salves," turpentines, oils, "pain killers," fcc, that can be named. We sjjeak (positively on this point, because it is one decided by the best physicians, and we have had abun dant practical proofs of its eflicaey. Heat disorganizes the flesh, deadens tlie cuticle or outer skin, and admits air which is irritating. A good coaling of flour shuts out the air, soothes the irritation, and dries up the fluids thrown out. Do not imagine that something healing must he applied. Not all the salves in the world can mend broken flesh. You can stick together broken glass. ! or wood, with wax or glue. You can weld together severed iron, but no such treatment is applicable to flesh disorganized; cut or burned away. Nature, so to speak, has a way f her own, arul only one way lo repair a br each in the flesh. The healing material comes from wilhin. If the hand be cut bring the several parts together, hold them there steadily, cover up the part from the air and from external ii jury, and the healing will go on so long "as there is no disturbance. If from curiosity or anxiety, or other cause you disturb the half-formed uew" flesh, a sore will be the consequence. j i We repeat for all kinds of burns or scalds, however severe, put on only a thick coat of flour. If a hard crusty mnss be formed so as to produce irritation, after a day or twof wa-h off the surface carefully with blood warm water, diy pa-tially, aaid put on more flour, but never dictuib theaetual surface of the sore, until when entirely healed, the scab falls off its own accord. Our word for it, this treatment will best promote the cure of burn?. A Growing Fee. The late Rev. Dr. II., of New Jersey, was eccentric, but was genial and eood humored in his oddities. On a dark aod stormy niht, he was called away fiom home to many a couple. Ue went reluctantly, performed the ceremony, and was leaving the house, when the groomsman handed him a two dollar bill. The Doctor looked at it, handed it back, and told him to keep it till it grw bigger. It grew to au X in the course of a week. Habit i everything. It either makes or breaks a man. If they are good, he goe ft'tatrwarpe; if bad, mudwards. . " n - October 7. JUheTiihv June 3; 1853. ithAf . r v, .. r iocs mm v : i - I., j' , p4 .1 D It w 9 Ira ' 4 -
