ed SO as 10 CoHVlHCc every uhPioJuulSOu Pc
son around him, that he has neither common
sense nor common honesty, we may not ex-
press our contempt and Indignation at his
conduct. Most certainly, those expressions
which serve to show our dislike at such a
character, when they arise from an honest
Indignation, provided they are clothed in de-
cent terms, are to be commemorative
they drop from the lips of those who are
wise and good and in whose censure, i'll
nature and design have no part. A man
may reprove another without being repre-
hensible but his reproof must not fall like
hail in violent storm: they must descend
as the dew upon the tender heritage, or like
flakes of snow upon the banks of the stream,
and which melt as they fall
To reproach man for the meanness of
mis- condition, for his misfortunes, or for
any involuntary defects, is reproaching
mankind, to whom such things are incident;
and Providence, who permits them. We
should take care in censuring, that it do
not originate in envy, malice, or ill-will,
or spring from wanton wit, or careless levity.
There is a most cruel temper in some, who
cannot forbear reproaching those whom they
ought to reyerence-those who excel them
in good qualities. They cannot think of
serving as SO many satellites to brighter and
higher bodies-but this is mean and base,
as well as wicked. To rise by the ruin, and
shine by the eclipse of others, is incompati
BILE with honesty and honour. If man
cannot push forward and distinguish himself
from the crowd by his own ingenuity and
industry, it is his duty to be contented /; and
| it is extremely ill-natured to throw stumbling
blocks in the way of those that are travel
ling the road with him, merely because he
cannot keep pace with, or get before them.
But there are some persons, who, though
they have no fixed displeasure, resentment
or disafection, and no i'll design, have such an
unpleasant disposition, that they are always
disposed, like the viper, to bite any man who
comes in their way. And there are others al
ways ready with their censures, from desire
of entertainment and showing their wit and
in some such way as this, men of good in
tentions sometimes offend-but we ought to
remember that the reputation of our neigh
bour is too precious to make sport with-and
a man who cannot entertain himself and his
company with some other subjects, can have
no just pretensions to wit or humanity
There are some, too, who censure merely for
want of thought-they utter their reproach-
es without once regarding VINO stands in
the way: and if they happen to reflect af-
forwards and apologize for their negligence,
their excuses are like those patches which
make the rent worse. In short, we ought
always to speak of our neighbours in the
temper, and under the influence ofcharity-
christian charity, which is moral kind of
sunshine, that brightens what it falls upon.

RON THE BELLOWS FALLS INTELLIGENcER.
BEAUTIFUL EXTRACT.
My mothers voice! how often creep
Its cadence on my lonely hours
Like healing scent on wings Of sleep,
Or dew to the unconscious flowers.
I might forget her melting prayer,
While pleasures pulses madly fly;
But in the still, unbroken air,
Her gentle tones come stealing BY,
And years Of sin and manhood flee,
And leave me at my mothers knee.
The book of nature, and the print
OF beauty on the whispering sea,
Give still to nae some lineament
Of what have been taught to be.
My heart is harder and perhaps
MY manliness has drunk up tears,
And there's mildew in the lapse
Ola few miserable years
But natures book is even yet,
With all my mothers lessons writ.
have been out at eventide,
Beneath moonlight sky of spring,
When earth was garnished like bride,
And night had on her silver wing;
When bursting buds and diamond grass
And waters leaping to the light,
And all that make the pulses pass,
With wilder feetness, thronged the night;
When all was beauty, then haveI,
With friends on whom my love is flung,
Like myrrh, on winds of Araby,
GARD up where evening lamp is hung.
And when the beauteous spirit there
Flung over me its golden chain,
My mothers voice came on the air
Like the light dropping of the rain;
And resting on some silver star,
The spirit of Bonded knee,
I've pour'd her deep and fervent prayer,
That our eternity might be
To rise in Heaven like stars at night,
And tread living path of light.

NEw-YoRK, Dec. 10. A serious ac-
cident happened to the Owego Mail Stage
last evening, the particulars of which are
thus related to us by one of the passen-
gers AS the stage was descending Ber-
gen Hill, about half past six o'clock last
evening, when near the bridge, the driver
turned out to avoid some wagons, and just
as the horses had reached the bridge, the
stage went off the bank and capsized into
the Creek. The horses disengaged them
selves and continued their course to Jer-
sey City. There were nine inside pas
sengers and one of the proprietors of the
line on the box with the driver, all of
whom were more or less injured, and, it
is feared one of the passengers was
drowned, as as there was one person mis-
sing when our informant left the scene of
disaster. The driver was seriously injur
ed in one of his knees, and the proprietor
of the stage, who was sitting on the box
with him, had his head badly wounded.
The baggage and mail bag had not been
taken from the stage, but it was presumed
they would be saved Gazette.
