".i friend should bsar a friends IN rmtftes
There is no virtue, in which men are more
deficient, than in the exercise of that spirit OF
charity, (Which beareth all things, and hopeth
all things Though we never should counte.
nance error, yet ough, we 10 view and reProve
with tenderness the faults OF others. The pride
of our hearts, which is ever leading US aslray,
impcls US to detect and expose the errors OF
our neighbors and thus triumph in our fancied
superiority We place our character as mo-
del, and every difference and deficiency receives
our condemnation. Unmindful Of the endless
diversity Of characters the peculiar cons'itu-
lives which govern ts'Ss" asons st Ne m aH
out one path Of though, and action for the
whole, an attempt as absurd and impracticable,
as to prescribe one orbit for all the planets
which glitter in the armament.
Charity does not require US 10 excuse the
vices, or overlook the errors of friend. One
OF the best proofs Of friendship is that affec-
tonate censorship which watches over the &C.
tons Of another, marks his errors, and sedu.
lousy lahors for their correction. But it in
structs US TO bear with affectionate sympathy
those eccentricities of character, those fuctua-
tons of temper, and those little excuses, either
oil gaiety or depression, TO which all are sub
ject. We should advise friend with caution
and humanity, and reprove him with that neck
ness which would result from conviction that
we ourselves are fallible, and that we frequent
ly require to-day the admonitions which we so
freely impaired yesterday. Another important
duty is 10 guard and defend The world are
prying and captious, and the shafts of caumny

vocal remark. AS the depository Of his senli
ments, and the confident Of his 9ecrets, we
ought ever 10 guard the character Of friend;
and without excusing or pallaing his errors,
we may often throw the mantle Of our protec-
ton over his foibles

Let us suppose that we still maintain our naval
superiority, and that navy of steam ships occupy
the place of men Of war; that our ships Of the line
are converted into transports, IA service they have
lately performed with much eclat and that merchant
ships are employed in trading as usual. The COM
merce of the nation will be far better protected than
ever; steam priyateer may attack aud capture
merchant vessel belonging to convoy, but it is inn
possible that she tosO the prize away SO fast az
the protecting steam vessel can sail after both there
fore recapture must always be the consequence.
Besides the steam vessels can keep merchant ships
much more effectuay within the limits Of the con-
voy, and with comparatively less trouble than any
other class of vessels. Assistance would be render
ed often much better, and more speedily, to mer :
chant ships in Distress under various crcumstan-
ces of danger and difficulty and although it might
be necessary to have one two vessels laden with
fuel for the of steam vessels, that kind of
voy, on the whole, would not exceed the usual plan
in expense and merchant ships making convoy
might, by act Of Parliament, be obliged to carry
certain quantity Offue for the Of the protecting
steam ship.
