Five Minutes Advice to Youns
Tradesmen.

Whatever your trade be, never be asham-
ed of it
Do not disdain to keep company with
people of your own class-but ratberEcourt
their acquaintance. The conversation of
men Of trade brings trade. Men FIRST talk
then deal together.
Without diligence and application no
trade can Ge successful or honorably carri-
cd on.
Never trade beyond your stock, or give
or take too large credit. Better let slip
bargain now and then, rather than buy
greater quantity Of goods than you can pay
for.
Should your affairs go wrong in spite of
all care and diligence, break in time. If
you can pay ten shiilings, do not affect to
remain whole until you cansoi pay ten
cents.
The cruelty of creditors is always in
proportion to the dishonesty Of debtors.
A we'll sorted and we'll chosen quantity Of
goods is preferable to shop entirely SLED
with an immense quantity.
The retail tradesmen, and tradesmen in
general, must lay in very great stock of
patience--;hey must conquer their passions
and endeayouC to weather the storm of i'm
pertinsnce.
Profusion of expense, living like your
neighbors &mimicking!the manners ofhigh
life, are paths which lead directly o.
Beware of being security for any sum
which you cannot pay without iniuring
your bushes or credit
ltyou marry, let it be one who is not a.
Oove being the wife of tradesman
In general avoid partnerships, at all times
avoid them,if you are not perfectly acquain-
ted with the temper, disposition, and char
acter of your partner
Be firm and determined in your prices
fix moderate price, but never depart from
it,
Talk to your customers like man of
sense and business, and not like monnte-
bank.
In aword be strictly honest, assiduously
diligent and frugal Never break your word
or shuttle but teach your brother tradesmen
and The whole world, that you are person
in every possible case TO be depended on.

Poetry.
From the +" National PlIss," Kentucky paper.
THE VOICE OF THE PACIFIC MUSE.

NEVER could delight to sing
OF hostile armies meeting,
But love to touch the finer string
OF fine companions greeting.
Tell me no more of soldiers brave,
Nor scorn my humble ditty,
The soldier is burden'd slave,
Which peaceful men must pity
Or he's a man with iron brow,
Commanding strict submission,
In either case, calmly vow,
prize not his condition.
4. Let me enjoy the friendly smile,
Frank, free and unaffected,
And Glory gain'd in rank or file,
By me, may re neglected.
Such Glory has no charms for me,
NJ mind has never sought her;
She's fondIy stain'd with blood, see,
She's Mars unhaIlow'd daughter.
I, of yogr martial stories tire.
Which talk OF clanking armour,
Than feats ofwar, value higher,
Tie labors of the farmer
81 But friends are false" the soldier cries,
And loves boyish notion
i like the band that death dehesi
There let me find promotion.
Your rural joys are but song,
A weakly woman's story
I'd rather hear the drum-heat strong,
That calls NE on 10 Glory"
Then soldier 60. if such your task,
The field Of cruel slaughter,
Where man, the life OF man can waste,
And blood is split like water;
Let me enjoy The milder glow
(You call boyish notion)
In vain your battle-trump may blow,
To break my sweet devotion.
Though epish ones so much pretend
OF love and friendships power;
They seem to stain the name Of friend,
And crush the lovers bower:
Yet vain 10 me, she martial sound,
Though 'twere the voice of Hector,
While real friendship may be found,
And love as pure as nectar.
Shall man make fellow man his psry
Exultingin the action?
Can such source afford ray,
Or gleam of satisfaction ?
When human havoc gives me JOY,
And friendly feeling ceases
Great God ! thy thunder-bolts employ,
And dash the wretch to pieces.
