somewhat to maintain them, justice must have

NJ onc. whose smile was life and love. The
song that cheered nv oSy-hood reverpeFates
nm men,ory's ear. But the form OF beauty Is
lost in darkness, and her voice is husieu ~
the tomb There too, beloved Aunt & tnou'
old Robert, must ere long lningie your ous'
with hers-and your hearts that sttll beat SO
cbeerly. become still and cold as the clods OF
the valley. Yc who have loved Dut
whittier do / wander.
From shop to shop my Aunt roved. a
new thimblc-bright as silver, cost but SIX
pence, aud she bought it. Fans-Rihoons-
trinkcts and gew gaws, which her judgement
did not approve, she still purchased because
thew como so very low. She was not aware
how fast her money wasted. When .ittie
tired Of running, and satiated with novelties
she returned to her lodgings, and sat down to
co,nt her cash, how great was her disappolnt-
mcnt, to find more than three fou'ths of it
souandcred on things Of no value Poor
girl she could not purchase bali the articles
she had deemed indispensable She would
sometimes tell the story herself, but DID not
like very well to be told of it. But being halt
in love, and having ofcourse an itch tor serb
bling poetry, she wrote IN essay on the sub
ject from which my motto is extracted.
When | sec men leaving their business &
croudinp to a vENDuE, when there is not
single article to be sold, they really want;
but wasting their time, drinking and bidding,
because things go cheap -
When sec a young woman changing her
tow cloth for paraso! instead of petticoat,
or siX-doi!ar bonnet instead OF bed TICK,
/ would give a pinch of my best rappee, 1t
some kind friend would whisper them
Though now 80 cheap, the things I fear,
Will in the end prove monstrous dear.
But Of all cEBAr things that in the end
prove DEAR, R.,sors and School masters are
the most abominsble. One will mangle your
facc-thc other will manglc the education and
morals of your children. In too many neigh
bcrhoods, tie PRICE and not the qUALIFIcA-
TIoNs, ola master, is looked at. For the diff
ference of three dollars a month, man of
sense and learning viii he displaced to make
way for BOBBY.
Listen to Old Robert. The future useful
ness and destiny OF your children, depend in a
great measure, on their eIuc@tlon and early
habits. Their education aid their morals de-
pend greatly OH their tutors, Il the school
master be iiiiterate and vicious, hon Can he
inpart knowledge a8d virtue to your children?
A man of learning vii! Dot--cannot devote his
time and talents tor fNtle or noting No man
deserves liberal support, better than good
school master When therefore man offers
to teach your children cheap, SUSPECT him.
A child will learn more in one quarter at a
god, than in 100 at hoor school. 1t is cheap
er therefore il the end to give good school
master IS dollars month, than a poor one Is
dollars, for you save half the time.

EMULATION.

Study to be eminent. Mediocrity is below
brave soul. Emincnce, in high employ
mcnt, will distinguish you from the vulgar,
and advance you into the catalogue of famous
men. To be eminent in low profession, is
to be great in little and something in nothing.
