Stick to youi Business.
There is nothing which should he more fre
quently impressed upon the minds of young
men, than the importance of steadily pursuing
one business. The frequent changing from one
employment to another, is one of the most com
mon errors committed, and to it may Ire tra
ced more than half the failures of men in busi
ness, and much of the discontent and disap
pointment that render life mi-comfortable. It
is a very common thing for a man to be dis
satisfied with his business, and to desire to
change it for some other, and what seems to
him will prove a more lucrative employment ;
but in nine cases out * ten it is a mistake.—
Look round you, and you will find among your
acquaintance abundant verification of our as
sertion Here is n young man who commenc
ed life as a mechanic, but from some cause,
imagined that he ought to have been a doctor
—and after a hasty and shallow preparation,
has taken up the saddle-bags only to find that
work is still work, and that his patients are no
more profitable than his work bench, and the
occupation not a whit more agreeable. Here
are two young men, clerks ; one of them is
content, when his first term of service is over,
to comihrae a clerk till he shall have saved
enough to commence business on his own ac
count ; the other cannot wait, but starts with
out capital, and with a limited experience, and
brings up after a few years, in a court of in
solvency, while his former comrade, by patient
perseverence, comes out at last with a fortune.
That young lawyer who became disheartened
because briefs and cases dul not crowd upon
him while he was yet redolant of calf-bound
volumes, and had small use for red tape, who
concluded that he had mistaken his calling,
and so plunged into politics, finally settled
down in the character of a meddling- pettifog
ger, scrambling for his daily bread
There is an honest farmer who lias toiled a
few years, got his farm paid for, but does not
grow rich very rapidly, as much for lack of
•contentment mingled with his-industry as any
thing, “though he is not aware of it—he hears
the wonderful stones of California, and how
fortunes may be had for the trouble of packing
them up—mortgages his farm to raise money,
•goes away to the land of gold, and, after ma
ny months of hard toil, comes home to com
mence again at the bottom of the hill for a
more weary and less successful climbing up
again.
Mark the men in every community who are
notorious for ability and equality, notorious for
never getting ahead, and you will usually find
them to be those who never stick to any one
business long, but are always forsaking their
occupation just when it begins to bo profita
ble.
. Young man, stick to your business. It may
be you have mistaken your calling. If so find
it out. as quick as possible and change it, but
•don’t let an uneasy desire to get along fast, or
a dislike of your honest calling lead you to
•abandon it. Have some honest calling, and
then stick to it—if yon arc sticking type then
stick away at them ; if you are selling oysters,
keep on selling ; if you are at law, hold fast to
that profession ; pursue the business you have
chosen, persistently, industriously and hope
fully, and if there is anything <f you, will ap
pear and turn to account iu that as well or
better than any other calling ; only if you arc
a loafer, forsake that line of life as quickly as
possible, for the longer you stick to it, the
worse it will ‘stick’ to you.— Hunt's Mershants
Magazine.
Sweeney in Horses.
In the July number of the Planter , page
204 I have rend your remarks on the sweeney,
and your quotations from Percival, showing
that the disease ‘is in the foot,’ and not in the
shoulder. I cannot undertake to say that I
know the disease is not in the foot but I cer
tainly believe that in a case of sweeney the
foot is not at all effected. [We know that in
a case of settled sweeney the foot is a good
deal affected, whether as cause or result we do
not now propose to discuss.-Ed.] In the last
ten years I have had three or four cases of
sweeney, and in every instance I could trace
the disease to a strain or bruise on the shoul
der—by having the collar too large and there
by pressing too far back on the shoulder, and
fallowing land very hard and dry, it is apt to
give a young horse the sweeney—or by plough
ing new ground that is full of roots and stum
py. .
The disease is easily cured in the following
manner: Take up the skin of the horse (be
tween the thumb and forefinger) at the top of
the part of the shoulder that is sunk, which
will be from one to two inches from top to the
■withers, and make an incision through the skin
with a sharp pen knife, there insert a goose
qnill and blow up the skin and with your hand
press the wind along the part that is sunk to
its lowest extremity, thus filling the part that
is sunk with air until it is at least even with
the surrounding parts, and stick a piece of
pitch over the incision, and a cure will be effec
ted. I have never had to repeat the above
operation but once, except in a case that I
bad this summer. I had to make a second in
cesion and blow it no as at first, and poured in
through the quill much spirits of turpentine
as the quill will hold, and the horse was well
in three weeks, although at work all the time
It is better to rest the horse, if you can, but
not absolutely necessary.— So. Planter.
Gentlemanly Conduct.— Self-respect is the
safest prevention against quarrelling. The
man who is sure of his position, is the slowest
to suspect another of any design to question
it, anil lienee the art of avoiding altercation*
has generally been deemed one of the peculiar
characteristics of a gentleman. Never to
seem afraid of being put upon, as the phrase
goes—never to argue a question merely lest
people should think you can argue it—never to
fight simply for fear the lookers-on'miglit think
you a coward—these are some of the maxiins
on which all men of superior minds act, habit
ually and unconsciously ; and it is this habit
which gives to such men ti.at air of repose and
self-possession before which fools stand abash
ed and dandies arc wild with envv.
Few men can have mingled, even in the
slightest degree, in society, without noti
cing that one prominent feature in the charac
ter of a parvenuc, is his proneness to take of
fence. His ancles are sharper, his corns ‘more
tender,’ than those of other people There is
really no knowing where to be safe with him.
The moment you put your finger on him, Ids
bristles stand out like a hedge hog’s. The best
plan, of course, is to leave such a character
alone. We should do our best to avoid in
fringing on their ramified irritability. It is
senseless to provoke a man, whoever he may
be, who has the power to be mischievous
The man who wants to fight you in the streets
because you push against him, may be a low
fellow, but that will be no consolation if you
go home with a black eye. Neither will it
much mend the matter if you give him two in
return. Ou the whole you will consider it a
very disagreeable business, and wish devoutly
you bad never got into it. —Exchange.

Prof. Wood : As you are about to prepare and vend your
recently discovered Hair Restorative, and as you request my
opinion of it, 1 will state that my liair was, a few months
ago, very grey, and alter using two bottles of your Hair
Restorative, it resumed its original color, and since its ap
plication, all dandruff has disappeared from my bead, and
j 1 have been troubled with no disagreeable itching of the
scalp. lam satisfied that those who use it, will not regret
it, as it gives the appearance of having been recently oiled,
i am prepared there fore, to recommend its use to all who
are desirous of having a beautiful head of'hair.

Cincinnati. ()., Feb. 10. 1854.
Prof. Wood —Dear Sir : My hair bad for several years,
beenbecoming prematurely grey, accompanied by a harsh
ness which rendered the constant application of oil neces
sary in dressing it. When I commenced using your Hair-
Restorative, about two moot s ago, it was in that condi
tion ; and having continued its use til! within the last three
weeks.it lias turned to its natural color, and assumed a
softness and lustre greatly to be preferred to those produced
by the application of oils or any other preparation I have
j ever used. I regard it as an indispensable article for every
I lady s toilet, whether to be used as a Hair Restorative, or
j for the simple purpose of dressing or beautifying the hair.
| You have permission to refer to mo all who entertain any
i doubt of its performing all that is claimed for it.

Prof. O J Wood : Allow me to attest the *irtucs and
magic powers of your Hair Restorative. Three months
since, being exceedingly grey, 1 purchased, and soon com
menced to use two bottles, ami it soon began to tell, in re
storing the silver locks to their native color, and the hair
which was before dry and harsh and falling off, now became
soft and glossy, audit feared falling ; the dandruff disap
peared, and the scalp lost all the disagreeable itching so
annoying before, and now I not only look, but feel young
again. “ Respectfully yours, etc..
