FROM the obvious complexion of the

geographic line dividing The United States

vate characters--on one side Of which a
sorciid me0nHess peculiarly sianckess eff
Jronfery, are displayed in their produ6li-
ons, indicative OF base heart, surcharg-
ed with the gall Of The rankcst malevo-
lence and hypocrisy while on The other,
a degree Of dccorum appears in their most
malignant attacks. and their foulest ebul-
litions arc comparatively honorable. This
line, however painful or degrading II may
be 70 say u, Is laid precisely where .Ntr,-
FHgiaHd terminates, ard The par, Of the
Union 6'Iow n commences. Although

AND DETACHED THOUGHTS.
fContinued.l

THE proper nutfinent Of the under
standing IS truth, and the discovery Of it,
the great ohiec, Of all eminent characters.
70 a benevolent disposition every state
oflTe will afford some opportunity Of Cor
tributing to the wAare and benefit OF man
kind.
If those IN government have not public
minds as well as public salaries they will
asauredly serve private views at the pub
lies e1pence.
That plenty should augment covetous-
ness is q perversion Ut a bountltul Provi-
dence, yet many of the wealthy are remark
able for being the most penurious it IS
likewise a perversion of words to term a
man charitable who gives perhaps q cent
in a thousand, while nany a poor man does
not hesitate In bestowing the last In his
possession.
Miserable is the state Of these who are
forever purchasing that wisdom at the ex-
pence o. pain aud inconvenience, which
others get as it were BY intuition, the pru-
dent knowledge we NAV have acquired from
the experience Of one year, beng very ina
dequate to the exigencies of another, vet
happy shey WHO apply even this mite judi
c%iously.
1t is a severe rebuke on us when tie Al
mighty makes us so many allowances dali
ly, that we are 50 unwilling to make any to
our neighbour.
A sensible who respects her hus-
band, will pay every mark Of difference 20
those who are objects of his esteem, whe-
ther relations or not.
Keep your secrets, nor covet those
of others, yetif trusted, never. reveal what
ought to be considered as gold committee
TO your care, for the keeping Of which yoJ|
are accountable.
Seek notthe favor Of the multitude ole
testimony which will bear weighing in lie
balance is Of more value than the ~appr0ia-
ton Of a weak or ~ill-judging world.
To preserve friendship, care, confdhee
and comPlisance are necessary; withors the
aid of these il expires.
Interior conversation raises and supports
man in a love ofhimself, which is 1atural
to him; we become so many little Gnsres,
wherein We know we ought also b tend
and draw near 10 God the Universal Gen.
ire. And hence it may be said, that he
who loves to live within himself, finds him.

the Universe placed under his feet. This
situation is notwhat may Be Judged pride;
but a noble elevation worthy ofthe soul.
