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.
