Some short and brief descriptions of per
sons that quill never thrive, at leaf not
•while they continue such.
1. Time and opportunity are the chief things
to be tyrded in all business, for time and tide
flay fffifefman, and those that do not observe
it, catyfethrive.
% For a rtian to be always punctual to his
word, gives him a great reputation, and is of
such consequence in all our affairs, that they
who have no regard for it can never thrive.
3. Those can never thrive, whose minds are
always fluctuating and inconstant, and are ne
ver ftedfaft to their resolution.
4. Those who shrink under their misfortunes
who have not presence of mind enough to en
counter with disappointments, who are (hocked
^ at meeting with any thing that crosses their de
sign, can never thrive.
5. One that is too cafy and credulous, and
ready to be drawn to any thing by fair words,
without conGdering the importance of what
he's doing, may quickly do that which will ru
in his family—he can never thrive.
?. They will not thrive;who are net watch
over their pockets as to little expences—
take care of the pence, &'the poundswill take
care of themfelvos—he that has no regard to a
little, may soon lose a great deal—he will ne
ver thrive.
them,' As your town is not on the road I in
tend to march, I cannot accept the money you
offer me.' —o—
— Wherefore have you painted Lewis XL as
a tyrant W asked Lewis XIV. at MezeraL—
" Wherefore was he one F answered the intre
pid historian.
From a late English Magazine.
The following Stanzas recently written by ibat cele
brated genius & Traveller,Gear. Henry Ellison
feeing an infirm old man, treated by a young rab
ble with indecent mockery, in the ftreds of Pisa,
in Italy, a country where every inanimate veflige
of antiquity is viewed with so much veneration)
have been transited abroad into French and Ital
ian, and are well worthy of being preferred.
—O—
HE mouldering tower, the antique bust,
The ruin'd temple's sacred dull.
Arc view'd with rev'rence and delight;
'But man decay'd and funk with years,
And fad infirmity appears
An object of neglea and flight!
Ah, thoughtless race! in youthful prime
You mock the ravages of time.
As if you could elude its rage!
That piteous form which you defpiTe,
With wrinkled front and beamfefs eyes,
That form, alas! you'll take with age.
Some vital sparks, that every day
Time's rapid pinion fweens away,
Prepare you for that helpless (late,
When, left and flighted in your turn,
Your former levities you'll mourn.
And own the justice of your fate.

~ These can never thrive, who negle& their
shops, trades, work, and business, da, after day,
week after week, and lie all that while drink
ing and (pending their time and money at the
tavern.
8. Tbofe can never thrive who are given to
gaming; such men many times will hazard an
estate upon one throw.
: The inhabitants of a great town offered Mar
shal de Turenne 100,000 crowns, upon condi
tion he would take another road, and not
march his troops their way. He answered
Such is the force of female curiosity, that
Lady Wallace, who is never at a loss for an
answer, one day affe&ed to be wanting on that
point : " Pray, fir, (said her ladyship to a coun
try gentleman,) 1 am often asked what age I
am; what answer should I make ?" The gen
tleman immediately guessed her ladylhip's
meaning; said, "Madam, when you are asked
that question again, answer that you are not
yet come to years of discretion."
WILLIAM COWPER, Bifliop of Galo
way, when near the end of his days, thus
expressed his religious faith and hope, to his
weeping friends around him :—" Death is
somewhat drear, ; and the streams of that Jor
dan, between us and our Canaan, run with
great force ; but they stand still when the ark
comes."
When the concluding feene of life is approach
ing, under the trials and difreffes peculiar to
that affecting period, the most powerful, and
indeed the only true support and eonfolation,
will be fouud in the sense of divine favour, and
in a steady faith, that all our sorrows will ter
minate with time, and our spirits be admitted
into that kingdom, where we shall live and re
joice forever.
g. Those can never thrive, that have no re
gard to their promises : 'tis far better not to
promise, than promise and not perform; and
yet those are most ready to make promises, who
make least confciencc of performing them.
10. Those never can thrive, who undertake
too much business at once, for they have more
to do than they can manage.
It. And lastly, They can never thrive that
make a common practice of faming, and ta
king the holy name of God in vain; for such
God will not hold guiltlcfs: and how then can
they thrive ?
But let each be industrious and not follow
iny of these bad pradices, which have been
mentioned, or they will never thrive.
The native impetuosity and humour of an
Englishman never appeared more strongly than
in a celebrated Naval Character, who being in
the Spanish dominions, just before the com
mencement of hostilities, evinced much curiosity
to examine a (hip of the line then on the flocks,
and supposed to be the fineft model of naval ar
chiteaure then known. As the plan of her
condruaion, however, was not intended to be
made public, and particularly where it was
likely to benefit another country, permission was
peremptorily refufed him by the Government,
to watch the progress of her building. P ro .
voted and disappointed, the gallant Captain
turned upon his heel, and exclaimed loudly, in
the bearing of the Great Man whom he had
applied to—" No matter, Sir, no matter, I (hall
soon have the pleasure of feeing her at Portf
tnouth." [Lot,Q,.
