A GREAT MANS MEANNEss. | know Of
nothing more melancholy than the discove-
ny of a meanness in great man. There is
so little to redeem the dry mass of follies
and errors from which the materials of this
life are composed that any thing to love OIL
to reverence becomes, as it were, the sab
bath for the mind. 1t is bitter to feel, a:
we grow older, that the respite is abridged
and how the few objects left to our admira
ton are abused. What foe not only Il
life, but to all that dignifes and ennobles it
is Time! Our affections and our pleasures
resemble those fabulous trees described by
st. Oderick-the fruits which they bring
forth are no sooner ripened into maturity
than they are transformed into birds and fly

The TRUE GENTLEMAN. By gentle
man we mean not to draw line that would
be invidious between high and low rank and
subordination, riches, and poverty. The
distinction is in the mind. Whoever is open
loyal, and true whoever is Of humane and
affable demeanour whoever is honorable
to himself and in judgment to others, and
requires no law but his word to make him
fulfil an engagement-such man is gen.
tleman; and such man may be found
among the tillers of the earth. But high
birth and distinction, for the most part, in
sure the high sentiment which is denied to
poverty and the lower professions. It is
hence only that the great claim their supe-
riority, and hence what has been SO beauti-
fully said of honour, the law of kings, is no
more than true -

Any intimates her actions where she is not

And glorious name was thine,
When the Greek in his might was on thy throne
Imperial Constantine
And nobly there he stood,
Breasting the battle shock;
And his banner-shroud was dyed in blood
As he sank from the shattered rock!
Thou naughty Infdel
Be brave in the coming hour,
And history's page Of thy port shall tell
As thou met'st the avengers power.

That lives on thy crumbling walls;
From the battered towers of Istambol

perfect cripple. On applying this Plaster, he was
perfectly cured of his Corn and freed from his
ameness.
A Gentleman of Greenfield was years afflicted
with very painful Corn, and was cured by one
box, after every other plaster had been tried to no
purpose.
Mr.. Cutler, of Boston, was cured of troublesome
Corn by one box.

their feet, do certify, that have used the Albion
Corn Plaster with complete success Before had
