To set about acquiring the habit of
meditation and study late in life, is like
getting irito a go-cart with a grey beard,
and learning, to walk when we hafe loft
the use of our legs. In general, the foun

in youth ; and in particular, he who has
hot cultivated his reason young, will be
utterly unable to improve if old.•
Vanity is a frailty too incident to hu

ever encomiums are past upon us, we
are apt to think it is no more than a
just tribute of our merit and defefts :
But a discerning perlon may easily diftih
guifh between flattery arid diffimulatiori,
truth and sincerity.

devotion are widely different. The

No part of the world, it is said, has

Last Thursday the Superior Court of
this state, finifhed their session at Ply

through the whole circuit, not a single
bill of indidment was found by an,
grand jury,—This fad involves two al

grown more virtuous, and that there it
no need of laws penal, and grand juries

formerly—we father impute ,t to the

difficulties to be got over—viz. Acti
