christian religion, which from its excel
lence we call the golden rule" "Stop =
said Tedyuscung, don't praise il to me /;
but rather tell me what it is, and let me
think for myself. / do not wish you TO
tell me of its excellence tell me what IT

as he would the other should do to him.
i" That's impossiblei 1t cannot be done,
Tedyuscung Immediately replied. ST.
lenee again ensued. Tedyuscung lighted
his pipe and walked about the room. 10
about a quarter of an hour he came up to
his friend with a smiling countenance, and
taking his pipe from his mouth, said,
:. Brother, / have been thoughtful of what
you told me. If the Great Spirit that
made man, would give him new heart
he could do as you say but not else. "
Thus the Indian found the only means by
which the gospel declares man can fulfil
his social iuties.-Vifiage Record.
Aphorisms.-H who equivocates is
more despicabe than the positive liar,
because he betrays disposition for false
hood, without the courage to practice II.
Iu the breast of the equivocator principle
| is out of the question. and even that
scouRdreliSm, honor among thieves"
claims no observance.
Ignorance may excite our pity, but the
aifectation of learning is insuiierable for
it diyests ignorance of its only embellish-
ment, simplicity.
The friend who hides our faults from
us is more injurious than the enemy who
reproaches us for them.
The safe aud general antidote against
sorrow is employment. Sorrow is kind
of rust of The soul, which every new idea
contributes in its passage to scour away.
1t is the putresence of stagnant life. and
is remedied by exercise and motion.
He that pursues fame with a just claim
trusts his happiness to the winds; but he
that endeavors after it by false merit, has
to fear, not only the violence of the storm
but the leaks of his vessel.
Alteration is TO be always distinguish
ed from hyposricy, as being the art OF
counterGeitiug those qualities which We
might with innocence aud safety be known
to want. Hypocricy completes vii
lain, but affectation finishes fop.
Pride.-Nen of proud and passionate
tempers, like those who have pestilential
diseases, have only this advantage from
their defects, that though they be not gull
ty at all of valour, yet they cause all the
world to fly from them.
Rough mode of Courting When Hen
ry the With was dying, he had recon-
mended it to his executors 10 attempt, by
every means in their power, TO bring a.
bout a marriage with his son Edward,
and Mary, the young Queen of SCOTS,
and thus to unite the two Kingdoms. In
order to accomplish this purpose, the pro-
tector made mar on Scotland, and pub
lished long manifesto, stating the sdvan,
tages that this match would be to both
kingdoms. Lord Huntly, however, a
Scotch nobleman, smartly observed, that
" He disiked not the match-but hated
the manner q vooing I"
Typographical errors.-The Editor of
the Baltimore Federal Republican, in
tending to compliment the Speaker Of the
House of Assembly, made use of the word
easy, as applicable to his manner Of con-
Quoting the House; but his compositor
10 setting the types, altered the word to
lazy, for which error the paper has made
acknowledgment. This reminds US Of a
mistake which occurred in the United
States Gazette, when Congress sat 10 Phil
adelphia. Mr.. GALLATIN had made a
speech on some important occasion; and
finding his name printed in common let
ters at the beginning, the Editor marked,
10 the proof sheet, 10 have it altered TO
SMALL CAPITALS ;-erased the name, and
as usual with printers, wrote " small caP,'
10 the margin. The composition, unused
to his business, Instead of correcting the
proof agreeably to the mark, altered il
literally, and the speech ran thus" Mr.
SMALL CAP Observed" &c.
