Thia consideration of the subject gives rise to many reflections, of which copy eny the iblloW'ing Gs most iWIimalely connected with Ihs paragraph just quoted.
 "And here the thought oft the responsi- bility of living in such an age and country, presses itself on the mind with force too great tO be resisted. Every man has an influence 10 exercise upon his fellow men; aud according to the amount and energy of the influence which he might exercise, is luis responsibility. Every man is to serve God in l,iS generation; and according to the oppor,ani,irs for serving God which he cniUyS,will be the Sirictness .of his final ac- count. Influence cxcrtcd at this critical period ofthc world, must be exerted with extraordinary tendencies, and unless coun- teracted, must be followed with cxtraor- dinaryarcsults. In this age and country every man is capable ofgreat good or evil. And this is the responsibility of living in such circumstances. Who is the man that best discharges this responsibility ?''

Breaking I'romise.-The door open- ed, and female of somewhat emaciated form and appearance, was admitted. SheI wore hat ofrather fashionable shape.--| It was ample in its dimensions. and paral- lel with the horizon. From its edges a couple Of large streamers Aews originally of blue and yellow, but now some what tar nished and antique in their appearancc.- She did not approach the sacred portal of justice with the eum rapiss in Jus, 3'c. men- tiuned by the heathen poet. Her looks were acquainted with grief--and sorrow, perhaps age, had turned the rose of her cheek into a pale lily. The justice melted when he saw her, for the heat ofthe office from large fire, and thirty-nine negroes who were present, was tremendous. "What do you want, my young womanl'' said the justice, as he wiped the wrinkles with Staten Islander.
 "I have been much abused creature" said the fair girl, pulling out small white handkerchief, with two black letters in one of it's corners.
 "Well," said the Justice. as if waiting for the rest ofthe story. "l have been a much abused creature," repeated the girl, pleating tho handkerchief, and Occasionally placing 1t at her eyes. 1 Several of the blacks who were saunter- ing about tho office, opened their mouths half ansinch wider than usual, to hear the poor girl. A Frenchman, with cue, pro. noHnced a mon diew and took pinch of snuff. 'ga 'e"'

 nv THE REV. GEORGE W. DoANE. """' !" '""'' ' The lark. my childl The morn has but jus, looked out, and smiled, When he starts from his humble grassy nest, And is up and away, with the dew on his breast And a hymn in his heart, to yOn bright sphere, To warble it out to his Makers car. Ever, my chlld, be thy mora's irstlays Tund, like the larks, tothy Makers praise. What is that, Mother2
 The dove, my son! And that low, sweet voice, like widows moan, Is flowing out from her gentle breast, Constant and pure by that lonely nest, As the wave is poured from some crystal urn, For her distant dear one's quick return. Ever, my son, be thou like the dove, In friendship as faithful, as cons,an,in love. Wha, is that, MOther9
 . The eagle boy! Proudly careering his course OCjoy. Firm, in his own mountain vigor relying, Breastng the dark storm, the red bolt defying, His wing on the wind, and his eye in the sun, He swerVes not hair, but bears onward, right on. Boy, may the eagles flight ever be thine, Onward and upward, and true to the line. What is that, Mother?
 The swan, my love! He is floating down from his native grove, No loved one now, no nesting nigh, He is floating down by himselfto die: Death darkens his eye, unplumes his wings Yet his sweetest song is the last he sings. Live 90, my love, that when death shall come, Swan.like and sweet, it may wait thee home!

GOOd adUiCe Go yOsng Men.-Young men, permit an old man to ask you, how do you spend your long winter evenings? Many of you, to be sure, are mechanics and ap- Iprentices, sOnfned to your shops of course; but many, very many of you labor abroad, and end your labors with the day-light.-i How do ySu pass your evenings? These evenings afford you much time to improve your minds. In them you can acquire much useful knowledge from your books. Lose not :his opportunity. You are grow ing old. You arc considered as having a good common education. What then 2-- How little after all do you know? Do you ever intend to have d better knowledge of Geography! of History? Have you no wish to be better acquainted with tho his- tory of your own country? What do you know of its discovery ? its settlement! its early history its revolutionary struggle :? and its subsequent history? its government It is melancholy and mortifying to reflect how extremely ignorant most of our young men are om these points. Besides, what is your acquaintance with moral and religious books Does not your bible deserve more frequent perusal? We would not confine you to it, but we would have you familiarly acquainted with it both as we regard your interest, your comfort, and your respecta. bility here, and your welfare hereafter.- One word more, young friends.i you want amusement for your evenings in way that will be far worse than useless, you can have it by reading novels.
 A lady of feeble habits, who has been subject to he0vy colds, for long course of years, has, agreeably to the recommends ton of d physician, for the Iass tsso years, adopted custom ofunif formly bathing face. neck and arms prot tuss!y in cold water every morning and it is Jact which may be relied on, that since the adoption of this an- tidote, she has not experienced any cold whatever! The benefit of this process has, in her instance, been so salutary and grate- full to her feelings, that she cannot withhold an admonition to her fair sisters, to do Gke- soise and will venture to predict from her own experience, that they will uniformly be conscious ofa heal,hful glow, by stimu- lated circulatiON and inUigoratsd spirits.-I But to produce substantial effects, the ap- plication must be thorough, and repeated every nsorning-indisposition not except- ed.-Ver.

 There is something in ,he genius ofpoe- try too libertine to be confined to many rules; and whoever goes about to subject it to much constraints, loses both it's spirit aud grace, which are ever native. and nevE CT learned even of the best masters; 1t is as if to make excellent honey. you should cut off the wings of your bees. .conine them to their hive, or their stands, lay flowers before them, such as you think the sweet est, and like to yield the sweetest extrac- tion you had as good pull out their stings and make arrant drones of them.

Riding Nth hadies.-" Gentlemen riding on horse.
back with ladies, ought TO ride the left of the ady
and not to the right, as is the practice here. The
genemans duty, in riding with lady, is to protect
her, and he cannot do it if he rides to the right for
these reasons. viz he governs his own horse with his
left hand, and should the ladys horse become uDman
ageabe. he cannot his right hand to assist her and
is obliged to change his bride to the right hand to
have the use Of the left this cannot be done with
ease safety Should he be on the left side of the
lady, his right hand is always ready to protect her
from danger eddy. When passing carriages and
horses the road, turn to the rght-n that case.
if the gentleman is the left of the lady, he protects
her from accidents which might otherwise occur a.
gainst the wheels of carriages when passing. 3dy.
The lady when sitting on her borse has her person
and yisage naturally inclined to the left and can con-
verse with the gentleman with ease when on the left
whereas the opposite is attended with much nconve
nience to her. Lastly it is highly improper for 9th
er reasons, which gentleman should consider Of some
Importance. | hope this hint will be sufficient and
for one should be pleased to see gentlemen, in future,
ride to the left Of ladies', and not the right"

The White Mulberry Iree.-It is estimated by
gentleman in the county of Windham, that an acre Of
land that has full grown Mulberry orchard on it,
Yields to the proprietor rising 80 dollars annually, Ia
king favorable and unfavorable seasons together.
This tree is easily raised.-Sow your seed in a
rich soil, we'll prepared in drills three feet apart rah
er thicker than you would SOW beet seed, keep them
clear Of weeds, loosen the soil around them the next
spring, and when two years old they fit to trans.
plant.
They groao.-Put few shovels full of rotten
manure mixed with earth into the hole of each tree
when set out, if the soil Is poor-put little chip ma
nure or scrapng of the barn yard around the in
the fall for three four years, and keep the ground
mellow around the trees.
They wW make .fence-If You SOW the seed thick
and let them grow without pruning they become
thick hedge, and if taken care of and cattle kept
rom them, will, in five or six years, make fence
that will turn sheep or small cattle.
This tree enriches The Land.--Before it is full
grown 1t begins TO bear the mulberry which contains
quantity of saccharine matter These berries, when
the tree produces them in large quantities, will al
most OF themselves reclaim old WORKOUT fields The
land under the trees would be distinguished by green
sward, while the other parts of the field would be
covered with worm-wood, lifeeverlasng, and penny
royal.
