LORD IVIORFETH.—Lord Moroctli, on Friday
last, paid a visit to Capt. Warburton, at -13elhoasioe.
during the great fair. An address was presented to .nis
Lordship, to which he returned the following answer;
—" Gentlemen—Allow me to offer iny ;warm
cerc thanks for the gratifying noticx! yq4 Love
taken of my first arrival.within the borders of Connalight.
Although you arc.probably.aware that my visit was not
undertaken with. any political objeqt, or with the view I
of courting public :attention, I cannot .be insensible to
the approbation wheel) you have been pleased to express
with reference to the duties which I have for some years
past endeayoured to discharge with. the co-operation of
my colleagues and the:supPort of the Triaepeople. But it .

this mark of friendship and good will, upon..en occasion
of which the attraction is not iimitcd to a caost pictu-

rise to a.farenore deeplyeseated pleasure tvhen viewed
as an earnest and an eVidence of the. improved cultiva-

THREE BAD HABATS.—There are throe - ;
nesses in our habits which are very common, and wle
have a very prejudicial influence on our Welfare.
first is giving wart() the ease or indulgence, of tire
ment, instead of doing at once what- ought to be dole,. 1,
This practice almost always. diminishes the bench
effects of bur actions, and-ofterildads us to abstain Ertel
action altogether ; as; for instance, if at this season i
the year there is a gleam of sunshine, of which we
we ought to take advantage, but have not-the resolee::
to leave at' the moment a conArtable scat dr an atti „o-
tive occupation, we miss the most favourable opportu-
nity, and perhaps justify ourselves in remaining indoors,
on the ground that the time for ezereise is past. Ono
evil attendant upon the habit of procrastination isotled
it produces a certain dissatisfaction of the -mind vvl gat
impedes and deranges the animal functions, and tetoat
to prevent the attainment of a high state of health. A
perception of what is right, followed by a liromptne4 of
execution; would render the er:ay of life-perfectly smooth
Children should be 'told to do nothinc, but what.is rea-
sonable, but they should he taught to do what they are
told at once. The habit will stand them in stead all
their lives. The second weakness is when we have Made
a good resolution, and have partially failed in executing;
it, we are very apt to abandon it altogether. For in-
stance if a person, who has 'been accustomed to rise at
ten, resolves to rise at six, and,oafter a few euCcessful
attempts, happens to sleep till seven, there is great
danger that he will relapse into his former habit, or pro,
bably go beyond it, and lie till coon. It is the same
with resolutions as to economy, cr tempeilancee or any.o
thing else ; if we cannot do all we intended, or make ono
slip, we are apt to give up entirely. New what We,
should aim at is, always to do the best we can, undfr:
existing circumstances; and then our progrees,"with
exception of slight interruptions, would be continual
The third and last weakness to which I allude, is, th,,
practice of eating and drinking tbings•beeause they are
on the table, and especially wen they are to be pa;d
for. How seldom it *pens that two triO:teletiVe'a
glasses of wine in aedecanter at a'coffetehtnisei though
they 1,„•,;;both had enough ! and• the censequenee
not doing.so is freqetently to order a fresh. supply ; but,
:.‘t any rate,. even the first small excels is pern;:cious.-
Excess, howeVer slight, either in solids or licit-,ids, de-
ranges the powers of digestion, and of course dimi-
nishes the. full 'benefit of any meal. It often
induce: an
indisposition to move, and so one excess leads to an-
other. What is called a second appetite
is generated ;
ind, the proper bounds being once passed, it is not easy
to fix another limit. The importance in a man's life of
stopping at enough is quite incalculable ; and to be guilty
of excess for the reason I have just mentioned, though
very common, is the height of folly. A very small
quantity will cause-tire difference between spending the
remainder of the day profitably or, agreeably and.in I
dolence and dissipatiort.-7We'Orig;nal.9 •
