,,uR,srM,s Eye. We are fond Of rational
amusement and delight in seeing young people
enjoy themselves; but are utterly opposed 10
dissipation on holydays or other days 100
much of this was exhibited on Christmas eve,
Coy intoxicated individuals and parties appear
cd to be patrolling the streets throughout the
whole night In the Golden time" the young
of both sexes assembled on such occasions
around the freside, and with various innocent
sports passed the hours agreeably-but now,
unfortunately, these social parties are dispensed
with in great measure, and young men, IN
stead Of seeking recreation in the family circle,
and in The society of respectable females, resort
to less reputable places; indulge in the ntoxl-
eating draught, and then parade the streets to
"repulate the town" The result is loss of
health and of character. 1t is Il wise policy to
provide sources OF innocent recreation tor tho
voung--or as "old heads cannot be put upon
vounr shoulders" if innocent amusement can
moi be had, that which is more cXccptlonable
VIII be sought-and the gambling room aud
tntomperance will ruin hundreds who might
have been saved There is nothing which has
greater tendency to polish young mcn-to
make them have proper seli-rospect-and to
encourage their aspirations for honorable dis
tuuctlon-thau the society of ades-and hence
he who would obtain and preserve good
name" should mnglo with the fair sex-and
cschcw all drinking clubs and gambling associ-
atoms. Neither credit, nor wealth, nor happi-
ness, can be obtained by the use of cards or the
incorporate use OF liquor; but on the contrary,
such vices in the young are sure to lead to
bankruptcy, LOGS of health and irretrievable
degradation. The yell Of delight at night is
changed to that of despair in the morning
"Oh, that men will put an enemy in their
mouths to steal away their brains"-but it is
Gono, and will continue to be done, notwith-
standing the prayers of parents and the entrea-
ties OF fsicnds-and thus is society constantly
doomed to see the bon rirdnt of tho past year
become the maniac of the present
