THE CONDUCT OF LIFE.

Shakespeare combined, perhaps, more than any
man that lived, thorough knowledge Of the
world, with great poetlcal genius. Many passages
from his works may be cited to verify this opinion
but the extract which follows is sufficient proof of
the assertion. This quotation from Hamlet, might
be written in the pocketbook Of every young man
Just entering the world and be occasionally referred
to, with advantage. There is no condition of life
TO which the counsel will not apply, and almost eve
~ person may be confidently appealed to, in some
one instance or another, for its business and truth
1t is the advice OF father to son setting out on
his travels:
"Give thy thoughts no tongue,
Nor any unproportoned thought his act.
BE thou familiar, but by no means vulgar.
The friends thou hast, and their adoption tried,
Grapple them to thy soul with hooks of steel,
But do not duh thy palm with entertainment
Of each new-hatch'd, unfedged comrade
Beware of entrance TO a quarrel: being in,
Bear it, that the opposer may beware Of thee.
Give every man thine ear, but few thy voice -
Take each mans censure, but reserve thy iudgmcn;
Neither borrower nor lender be,
For loan oft loses both itself and friend,
And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry
This, above ALTO thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any other nam

ON DEATH.

Some have styled this certain, but at most times
unwecome, vlsiter, the king of terrors, when he
might, with less Improperly, have been termed the
terror of kings. The poet has lent bis fiction, the
painter his coors, the orator his tropes, to portray
death the grand destroyer, the enemy the prince
of phantoms and of shades But can he be called
destroyer, who for pershable state gives US that
which is eternal Can he be STYLED the enemy, who
is the best friend only of the best who never de-
serts them at their utmost need and whose friend
ship proves the most valuable to those who live the
longest Can he be termed the prince Of phantoms
and of shades who destroys that which is transient
and temporary to establish that which alone is real
and fixed And what are the mournful escutcheons,
the sable trophies, and the melancholy insignia,
with which we surround him---the sepuchral gloom,
the Wondering carcsse, and the Shiny worm -
These, indeed the idle fears and empty terrors,
not Of the dead, but of the living. The dark do
main Of death we dread, indeed, to enter but we
ought rather to dread the ruggedness of some of
the roads that lead to it. But if they are rugged,
they short and it is only those that smooth
that are Wearsome and long. But perhaps he
mons too soon from the feast of life. Be it so
i the change be not for the better not his fault,
but our own: or if he summons US too late----the
call is rather reprieye than a sentence; for who
would wish to sit at the board when he can no lon
ger partake Of the banquet, or to live IN pain,

feel even ordinary degree of composure.
Three years of varied good and evil had passed
over my head, as, towards the close Of cloudless
summer day, again entered the river, and again
hailed that place, which though containing but few
beings endeared to me, either by love friendship,
vet had contained charm within it, too potent to
allow it to be totally Indifferent to me.
"And what is she to me, or to her - thought
!, as my steps, as it mechanically directed me
towards the spot, where had last seen her ''She
was happy--why am not SO She was beloved----
Why am sad Love has not bound me to her So
why then am thus interested in being, whom
have seen but once, and who, even if she me,
gave but hasty glance, and thought no more Of
me 'Pshaw, this is foolish chimera mere boyish-
ness, which ought to be shaken off," continued |, as
stepping more firmly and holding my head more
erect, again entered the hall, where then she
stood unryalled, the queen of beauty----and which
WAS now open, unchanged, presenting the same
scene of cold magnhcence which then it did 1t

around me on the joyous assembly. There were
some, whom had seen when was last there, and
there were several faces to fill the void left by
those who had graced it then, but were then alb
sent. But my glance towards these was hurried
one. Where was the angelic form whom it then
rested---and on whom It now wished to rest1 Where
she, who had given the charm that had rivetted
my fancy and my alike in its letters 1t was

sad forboding thought that had hung over me then,

and agitsted voice. inquired Of female, with whom

serious tone, if trying to recocct whom meant:

name OF Eugena Morntop, though once forming its
brightest ornament, seemed almost forgotten.

MATRIMONY.

The whole secret in choosing well in
matrimony may be taught in three words:
eahfore the character. violent love
fit is always the result of ignorance-for
there is not daughter Of Eve that has
merit enough to justify romantic love,
though thousands may inspire thatJgeu
tie esteem which is infinitely better A
woman-worshipper and a woman-h4ter
both derive their mistakes from an igno-
rance Of the female world--for if the cha
racterS Of women were fairly understood,
they would be found too good 10 be hated,
and yet not good enough to be idolized.

PENN's TREATY-ELM.
JUDGE PETERS.
Let each take relic from that hal'owed tree,
Which, like Penn, whom it shaded, immortal should be-
As the pride of our forests, let Films be renown'd,
For the justly prizd virtues with which they abound
All hail to thee, highly favolrel tree,
Adjoining our land,-the home Of the free
Most worthy was he
Who first honour d thee,
And thou, like him, immortal shall be.
Whilst the natives our forests in freedom shall roam,
Thy remembrance they'll cherish, thro' ages to come,
The sorrows their bosoms should Off overwhelm,
With delight they'll reflect on good Onas's Elm.
All hail, &c.
For that Patron of Justice and Peace there displayd
His most elcome good tidngs, beneath its fair shae
And FURNISHED examples to all future times,
That Justice and Peace may inlabt all Chimes.
All hail, &c.
The Oak may be fam'd for its uses in war,
Or waiting weahh's idols to regions afar:
But the Elm bears part in such objects theses
Its employment is solely in fabrics of peace.
All hail, &c.
When Daphne. tits tabled, eluded .4poRo,
And he found it in vain her footsteps to follow
lie x'd the coy nymph--to avenge love quarrel
In tn evergreen form of the bright shining Laurel.
All hail, &c.
But her chaplets bedeck the grim warriors helm,
Who'd more worhily shine in the shade of the Elm:
And there all wars and their horrors to cease,
All hail. &c.
Of .qvon the Bard, and his Mulberry tree,
In song have long iv'd with the voaries Of glee
His fame of his tree has prolonged the renown
Our tree with PENIS fame, will to ages 60 down
All hail. &c.
Let the Bard be cncirced with laurcls eer green,
AS the chief in the chair whereof Fancy's the Queen.
We truth and just laws all Actions oerwhelm;
And these Penn secur'd in the shade Of the Elm.
All hail, &c
Let Poets still sigh for Bay wreaths, without scars
And the Laurel hide wounds of the champions in vars
But the branch of the Oiue its Office should Cease
And the branches Of Elm be the emblems of Peace.
All hail, &c.
The Ofue abounds where stern despois bear rule.
And their slaves pluck its products in Povery school,
But the Elm delights most in the mountains and dells,
Where Man is ne'er shacked, and Liberty daells.
All hail, &C.
Tho time has devoted our tree to decay,
The sage lessons it witnessed survive to our day.
May trus worthy statesmen, when cad to the helm,
Meier forget the wise Prealy held under our Elm.

How oft the shades of Joys departed pass
Across the scene while Memory holds the glass;
Till spell bound Fancy thinks the whole is real,
And spreads her arms to clasp form ideal.
There is scarcely any thing, from "the chaste
cold MOON" ithat wins its woy, i'll undistutbed Sc.
renity, through Interninable space,) to the mos,
common article OF our good world, but that, when
attentvely observed by the mind Of man, awakens
remembrance in it of past times. When we look into
the evening sky, when the moon is still smiling up
on the beautiful world below, we can recollect the
time when we used to sport with our young COM
panons upon the green meadow. or wander with
some pretty girl youthful innocent, and as hap
py as ourselves.-Now conversing on the past, now
anticipating the future dwelling upon the Joys and
sorrows of this varied world, and often pausing to
look upon and admire some bright cloud that was
floating silently on through the mellow hight. like
fairy island that guided by angel hands, was just
crossing our sphere few moments in the
golden beams and then passing away. AS Tor me,
when gaze upon the moon, it always reminds me
of past times. Rosy cheeks and laughing lips come
across my fancy; and can almost hear the silver
voice OF many loved one who has long since moul
dcred in the tomb. l remember the stories of the
the tabled sports of those happy spirits who
dance in the moonlight, and wanlon on every breeze.
Such are the associations that mingle with the pen
sive beauties Of the silver moon.
A lew weeks ago, visited the scene where had
been educated-the spot where the first Gee'ing
years of my boyhood had fed like dream.-lt was

the breeze. and rejecting on its bosom The fairy

And gardens and palaces margin the

But meier shall their mem'ry be lost in the lard
That their tolls to their offspring bequeathd,
And oft shall each of the patriot band,
