The character given to man by an obituary
notice, being most generally portrayed by the
partial hand of friendship, cannot be considered
as a correct criterion of his real worth, in the es-
tmaton of strangers To those only, therefore,
who were of the circle of the acquaintance OF
the deceased, we appeal to for the truth of the
observation, that, while he was constantly adding
to the number of his friends, he created not a
single enemy to embtter his social intercourse
in his domestic relations, ITO impeach the in
tegrity of his conduct in his connections with gen
eral society. Correct and Jealous in the per
formancc Of the duties ofhis public vocation, his
suavity of manners, and equanimity of temper,
caused him to become, without effort, general
favorite and endeared him to all by ties OF no Or
dinary durability. Ills friends, therefore, mourn
a real loss, and void is made in society, which
it is anticipated, will scarce be filled, even by

though at this moment his energy is felt in the re-

security in his providence, as if we the OBJ
ects of his undivided care. 1t is not for us to bring
our minds up to this mysterious agency. But, such
is the incomprehensible fact, that the same Being
whose eye is abroad the whole universe, gives
vegetation to every blade of grass, and motion to
every particle ofbood which circulates through the
veins of the minutest animal that, though his mind
takes into its comprehensive grasp immensely and
all its wonders, | am as much known to him as if
were the single object of his attention; that he
marks all my thoughts that he gives birth to eve

EXTRACT.

From the cradle to the grave we trace the Wis
dom OF the Creator by those fine associations, by
that close knit web of affection and brotherly love
of dependence and protection, of sensbility and
sympathy, which connect the great family of man.
-'The tender tie commences with the innocent
babe pillowed on its mothers fond bosom and
nourished by her vital stream 1t plays around its
face in the infant state, where the arch counter
lance OF the child recognizes parents smile. 1t
walks hand IN hand with the tottering little one
trying its uncertain steps; and sporting with one
OF similar helpless age. This tie matured, grows
INTO human plants placed by the hand Of nature in
the same soil and in propinquity to each other; it
links the sexes in sacred and indissouble bonds it
throbs and gows in the field of fight where brother
ln-iaw, comrade and companion, townsman and
messmate, share the toll and the danger brayely
and firmly, whittier it descends even to the cold
grave where kindred lie united in the last embrace
of death, and where the survivor looks forward to
be placed near the beloved of his youth, or to be
gathered to his venerable and reverend forefathers.
No pride Of talents, haughtiness of spirit can
entirely eradicate that natural and feminine senti-
ment which lmpels woman to look up to man
superior being. Indeed distinctly does her heart
demand this distinction for the object of its choice,
that even i'll the most illassorted attachments,
wherein passion has completely usurped the place
ct reason, it is curious to observe how this feeling
still asserts its power and how tenacious becomes
IN magnlfying the slightest merits in the most worth
less character, and creating for it imaginary claims
TO regard and to submission. 'She God in him.,
Milton has truly and beautifully said.

The King, much pleased with the princes
smart answer, said, "But what will you
say to me when we meet in heaven ?''-
" Great King, (replied the prince,) pro-

Madame Regnier, lady of the Procu-
reur Civil Of Versailles, was speaking one
day at her own house in the midst of
numerous company. Having made some
misplaced remark, though of no i'm
portance, her husband, addressing her be-
fore the company, ridiculed her for her
absurdity, and said, Madame, you are a
fool" She lived for twenty or thirty
years after this occurrence, during the
whole OF which time she did not utter
single word, even to her children. An at
tempt was made to surprise her, by feign-
ing robbery of her house, but in vain:
not word escaped her.
When required to give her consent to
the marriage of her children, she merely
made sign with her head, and signed
the contract of marriage. She never once
opened her mouth: she could never par
don the insult offered her self-love.
