"1He hand Of the dil,gent maketh rich. I"

Nc Hus" " sNC WtttS e"s Wuneet ttCft.
This is as true now as it was in the
days Of Solomon, and those who want to
be rich must not depend on speculation or
artifice for this purpose, but upon honest
exertion, circumspection and care. Our
distinguished countfyman, DIR. Franklin.
in his 10th year, observed 10 substance,
that to industry aud frugality he owed the
early easiness of his circumstances, and
that 10 his temperance 10 great degree he
ascribed his continued health and sound
constitution. Those who initiate him 10
these virtues, will like him probably, un-
der the Divine blessing, be sure OF pros
perity and comfort. And If check to
idIeness and extravaganza is given by the
pressure Of the times, or what is the same
thing, if habits of temperance, frugaliiy
and industry, should thereby be univer-
sally promoted, our citizens will have 20
cause to regret a change which restored
them their senses, and caused them to seek
real happiness and substantial prosperity
in rational way, 10 preference to that
thoughtless extravaganza, which hazard.
ed pecuniary safety, without promoting
Individual comfort.

THE
Declaration of independence.

Declaration of independence.
XNTE have no authentic copy. of this most
wv important state paper, the very basis
that supports the proud column of American
liberty none, at least, onwhich the eye OF
taste can rest, for a moment, win SAUSAGE
ton. Why have we not
The English nation, still proud OF their
MAGMA CHAR.rA, though every provi-
sion it contains has been trampled upon by
the bold ambition Of their rulers, have pub
ished edition after edition Of this instrument,
each more splendid than its predecessor
Sir William Blackstone has collated and
commented on this fine copy OF Magma
Charta has been cxcelled by later specimens
of art. and the fac-similes of the seals and
signatures have made every reader OF taste
in Great Britain acquainted, in some de-
gree, not merely with the state acknowledge
and of art at the period in question, but with
the literary attainments, also, OF King John,
King Henry, and their Barons bold.
Surely the Declaration of American indie
pendence is, at least, as well entitled to the
decorations of art as the Magma Charta of
England and if the fac SMILES of the sig
natures of the patriots who signed it were
published in America, it would serve to gra-
tify curiosity, at least as laudable as that
which calls for limitations of the correspon-
dents of Junius or of the aristocracy that
wrested the English Charter from the reluc-
tant monarchs OF the day.
We are firmly persuaded that the more
the principles OF our Declaration of lndepen-
dence are spread out before the eyes o: the
world, the more they will be admired, by
foreign nations as well as our own and eve-
ry innocent and honest device that may serve
to attract attention toward them, will serve,
also, to promote the great cause of public II.
berry. Such an embellished edition as will
renderit an ornament to an apartment, will
have tendency to spread the knowledge OF
its contents, among those who would other
wise have turned their thoughts but lightly
towards the subject Such an edition will
serve TO place it continually under the eye
of man. woman, and child in tamily---it
will associate the pleasurable ideas OF ele-
gance and ornament with the history Of the
transaction itseIt--and familiarize those
principles which form, or ought to form, the
very bond aud cement of political society
Nor is it of small moment that such an edl-
ton, well executed, will serve as specimen
of the state of the Fine Arts amongst US at
the present day. Actuated by these views,
