ON GIVING ADVICE.

10 giving advice great care is requisite
not to injure the feelings oil those whom
we wish 10 reclaim. Unless a young
man was extremely proud aud conceited,
| would warn him of bis faults before he
committed them; but when once the mis-
chief was done, / would not reproach
him. A lesson that offends is rarely
beneficial. know moi any remark more
notifying than 81 told you so before
hand. The best way TO make him re-
member your advice is to appear to have
forgotten it yourself.

Sir David Lindsay, the celebrated
Scots Poet, was a man of both courage

with due reverence, and began to prefer
a humble petition that he would install him
in an office that was then vacant.

and now your master taylor, at The pleas

would desire Of your Grace, to bestew
this little benefite upon me-" The king
replied, that he was amazed at such re-
quest from man that could neither shape
nor sew" Sir" reioined the poet, " that
make no matter; for you have given
bishopricks aud benefices to many stand

BEGIN IN TIME .

Albert possessed, at the death Of his
father, wide domain-he planned vast
improvements, and he intended to anne
iiorate the condition of bis tenants. He
daily contemplated this object, and re-
solved to set about it quickly-he thought
of it in the morning and in the evening,
but the follies and the fashions of the times
eDgrossed him for the remainder of the
day still he would do it, he was deter
mined on it. Thus he continued till he
arrived at the age of forty, when he set
about it in good earnest but ere he &C.
complished his work he died. He did
not begin 10 time.
Helen was an enchanting girl--hand-
some but not accomplished. She wished
to be pious and goodIy, but she was yet
young, and had SO many admirers -
and it would do when she grew older.
She fell sick and death lowered about
her-then she wanted religion, it was then
she would begin-poor girl it was too
late; she died with pireuzied mind.
She did not begin 10 time.
Tom DaslIall had habit Of swearing /;
be would fain mend it, he resolved on
doing it, and would begin soon. He
kept on however, till the age OF fifty, and
was then disgusting object Of profanity.
He began to mend, but the next year he
departed this world. Lie did not begin in
time.
Sam Thirsty was very fond Of strong
drink. His friends told him il he per-
sisted it would kill him. Sam laughed,
thinking he could leave it off when he
pleased. He grew old and he grew
worthless. Then he stIove against it, bul
all in vain did not begin in time.
Timothy Giddy chose TO be lawyer
He would study bard, that he would. He
frolicked with the men, and coquetted
with the girls yet he would begin, he
said, to apply himself very soon. But he
went on in the old way, frolicking, CO
quoting, and resolving, till the time came
when he should appear at the bar. Ht
knew nothing Ct the law he had every
thing to learn : he was laughed at an(
scored he did not begin 10 time.
So it is with all things 10 life. What
soever you have to perform, therefore, d.

A MORAL LESSON IN RHYME.
Il fool is full Of words. Eccl. K. Ia
BIZ words without knowledge simpleton's known,
He pirates like parrot, he cannot tell what,
And then feels as proud of the wisdom he's shown,
AS if every word was gun-powder plot.
And some legislators win make you speech,
As empty as ether, but heavy as lead;
On the patience of Job, they would make great
breach
By long-winded talks, in which nothing is said.
Their aim seems to be just to let the world know
They have diPP'd into Grotius, and iook'd at
Vattel.
And maxims apply of those authors, I trow
To cases where Tom Thumb would answer as
well.
For hours they hsrrangue about this thing and that,
Erratic as comets in infinite space,
But the Lord only knows what their honors are at,
1t would puzzle Daniel their meaning to trace.
don't mean to say, that such speakers those,
Cur Jvati0H Grand Council have ever perpIext
But what have said, gentle reader, suppose
Is sincerely a comment which flows from my text.
But if there shouId eUer such speakers appear,
Who would sail round the world to encompass a
spsn,
would modestly whisper this truth in their ear,
"A uery great talher IS not a great man.

ODE TO IMPUDEN CE.


Integer vita, scelerisque purus.
Horace, Book 1, Ode %.
TIE man who wears brazen face,
Quite son aise, his glass may qusffi
And whether in or out OF place,
MAY twirl his stick, and laugh
Useless to him the broad donbloon,
Red note, or dollar of the mill;
Though all his gold be in the moon,
His brass is current money still
Thus-when my cash was at low water,
AT Niblo's sat down to dine;
And, after tremendous slaughter
Among the wild fowl and the wine,
The bill before mine eyes was PLACID
When, slightly turning round my head,
/" Charge it," cried 1.-The man, amaz'd!
Star'd-made his eongee and obey'd.
OH bear me to some forest thick,
Where wampum'd Choctaws prowl alone;
Where ne'er was heard the name of tick,
And bankrupt laws are quite unknown:
Or to some shop, by bucks sbhor'd,
Where to the longing pauper's sorrow,
The curst inscription decks the board,
Of Pay to-day, and trust tomorrow =
Or plunge me in the dungeon tower;
With bolts and turkeys blast mine eyes;
While, cal'd from death by MarshaiPs power
The ghosts of MURDERED debts arise!
The easy dupes Pu wheedle still
With looks of brass and words of honey;
And having scor'd decent bill,
Pay off my impudence for money.
