HINTS TO PEOPLE OF MODERATE
FORTUNE.

There is no subject SO much connected
with individual happiness and prosperity, as
the education of daughters. 1t is trne, and
therefore an old remark, that the situation
and prospects Of country may be Justly
estimated bythe characterot its women and
we all know how hard it is to engraft into
woman's character habits and principles
to which she was unaccustomed IN her girl
ish days. 1t is always extremely difficult,
and sometimes utterly impossible. Is the
present education Of young ladies likely to
contribute to their own Ultimate happiness,
or to the welfare of the country ? There are
many honorable exceptions; hut we do
think the general tone Of female education
is bad. The greatest and most universal is
teaching girls to eXaggerate the Importance
of getting married; and of course to place
an undue Importance upon the polite atten-
tons of gentlemen.
That a mother should wish to see hei
daughters happily married is natural ant
proper; that young lady should be pleas
ed with polite attentions is likewise natura
and innocent; but this undue anxiety, thi
foolish excitement about showing off the at
! tentions of somebody, no matter whom, i
attended with consequences seriously inju
! rious. 1t promotes envy and rivalship;

standing is not known, they may pass for the
nobility; but the sequel must be told. Credit
ors vii! not be long satisfied with a false dis
play OF wealth, while the liquidation of their
Just demands is suspended to support it. The
attorney and bailiff are employed and these
are men not the most agreeable TO debtors, nor
the most inclined to work gratuitously. The
boosted finery is soon advertised by the sheriff,
ard sold under the hammer at half the original
COST to satisfy the demands of an execution.
And then what cnsues but " hard times to
both debtor and CREDITOR The one is reduced
to beggary, the other receives, perhaps, twenty
five per cent. for his debt. Who among us is
not III this error of extravaganza. to a greater
or less extent? The rich who are able TO sup
port 1t, may think themselves less entitled to
censure but they would do well to remember,
that, by their example, they are bringing pow
erty and wretchedness upon thousands In
short, all classes would do well to examine the
sL>Ject, and see if their expenses in living
might not be curtailed, without lessenng the
real comforts of life. ! hope the fair ones Of
our villages and towns will not think the sub
Ject too trivial for their investigation Should
they dispense with all their needless ornaments.
1t would save their fathers and husbands much
expense, and perhaps prevent them from seeing
HdIu tlteS nat MISS or Mistress who eX-
ponds some thirty or forty dollars for dress to
ornament her head, it would seem, expects 10
have her character measured by her external
appearance. Perhaps it will be but in the
opinion of the sober and rejecting, the balance
will be found against her. Such ought to re-
collect that "virtue and beauty need not the
aid Of foreign ornanont." People must learn
to live within their incomes. be they great or
small, or they must unavoidably see = hard
times"
What will be the most effectual method of
curing this evil of extravaganza | apprehend
that 1t requires the same management that has
been the most effectual in the suppression of
lntemperancc; and that is example. But, if
the rich indulge in the practice, who shall set
the example Let the more respectable of the
less opulent in the community be the ones to
go forward in the work of reformation,-let
them lay aside all the needless ornaments of
their persons, all their fine furniture that is not
lndispensably requisite for their convenience
let them indulge less freely in the luxuriei of
hving,-save the surplus arising from such
economy, and the example will he followed, and
all will have less occasion to complain of hard
times ~ CIVIS.

ARABIC SAYINGS. Reside where you
will, acquire knowledge and virtue, and
they will stand thee in the place of ances-
tors; that man is best who can say, " See
what ans" not he who says, "sec what
my father was" When God would DIS
play in broad day a hidden virtue in the
shade, he excites against it the tongue of
the envious. If the flame did not catch
every thing surrounding it the exquisite
perfume of the aloes would he unknown.
This life is but fragile fragment senseless
is he who attaches himself to it; what is
past is dead what is to come, is hidden
thou hast only the moment in which thou
brcathest. Thy life is divided into two
portions; consider well what they are
that which is gone, is dream that which
remains wish.

THE MOTHER TO HER ONLY DAUGH
TER.
Ny own, my child with strange delight
look upon thy face,
And fold thee to my throbbing breast
In mothers fond embrace
Each breath that stirs thy little frame
Can thrills of joy impart
And thy tiny hands soft clasp is like
A pulse within my heart.
Thy little life lies but within
The compass of dream,
And yet how changed does every scene
Ofmy existence seem;
For over cen its dreariest paths,
In freshcning gushes, roll
Feelings that long, like hidden springs,
Slept darklY in my soul.
My own, my child what magic power
Is in that simple word,
The very depths of tenderness
BY its sweet sounds are stirred:
And like Bethesdas heaven blessed pool,
Give out healing power,
For how can sorrow dwell near thee,
Fair creature OF an hour
Though from my breast had died away
Each spark of hopes pure flame,
Though pain and sorrow wrung my heart,
AS erst they racked my frame
Yet gladly would suffer all
To feel the rapturous glow
That thrilled each nerve when first | gazcd
Upon thy baby brow.
My own, my child fain would draw
The shadowy veil that shrouds
The future from my view with all
Its sunshine and its clouds,
To learn what storms must gather yet
Around thy sinless head,
And look upon the varied path
Which thou through life must tread
1t may not be-no human skill
Those myst'ries may divine
The God who led my erriDg steps
Will surely watch DER thine.
Enough, if to thy mothers hand
The blessed power be given
To shield thy heart from passions strife,
And fix its hope on heaven. lANTHE.

VEGETABLE Diet. The Indians of
South America are very strong limbed,
and capable of enduring great fatigue.
Their everyday pedestrian fcats are truly
astonishing. Guides perform a long jour
ney at the rate of 20 or 25 leagues a day.
Their usual pace is a jog trot. They take
short steps, and carry their feet close to
the ground. They go up and down r~oun-
tain sides quicker than mule and horse
men, whom they accompany as guides,
have frequently occasion to call after them, to
request them to slacken theirpace. A battal-
ion, eight hundred strong, has been known to
march ID or IA leagues in one day, without
leaving more than ten or a dozen stragglers
on the road. The Indian subsists on a very
small quantity of the simplest food. A
leathern pouch containing cocoa, suspended
| from his neck, is worn next to the breast.
A handful or two of roasted maize is tied
up in one corner of his pouch, and in gener4
al, these are the only provisions for q very
long days journey.

In general, mankind, since the improve

No two things differ more than hurry and
despatch. Hurry is the mark of weak mind,
despatch of a strong one. A weak man in
office, like squirrel in a cage, is laboring eter
nally, but to no purpose, and in constant mo-
ton, without getting on iot; like turnstile,
he is in every body's way, but stops nobody {;
he talks great deal, but says very little; looks
into every thing, but sees into nothing and
has hundred irons in the fire, bu. very few Of
them are hot, and with those few that are, lie
openly burns his fingers.
