Messrs Editors, is no exception to the
general lie. You, too, are no doubt
hardly thought of, because others do not
enough enter into your situation.k Cor
respondents are apt to fret, because their
communications are not published at once
because even when they deserve pub
lication, you are surrounded by other
communications and matters which arc
more entitled to notice. Were these
correspondence who are so jealous oftheir
own compositions and so anxious for the
birth of their bantling, to see how many
other productions are in your Office, with
an equal and sometimes superior claim
upon you; were they to enter into the lit
tie story Of your own embarrassing en-
gagements, instead of thinking entirely
oithenselves, it is very possible that they
would fret less at the delay OF their pub
locations.
The fact is, that this thing lies much
nearer the foundation of morality itself,
than we would at first imagine. We
must put ourselves into our neighbours
situation before we can see perfectly
what are our relative dutles-what ha
ought to do for us, and what we for him
how we ought to feel for him, and he
for US.
"Do unto others as you would they
should do unto you," is almost the same
maxim expressed in another form. 1t is
almost the same as the impartial spectator
of Adam Smith, in his beautiful theory Of
the Moral Sense. We must learn to en-
ter into our neighbor's feelings before wo
can do Justice to him. recommend it to
all who wish to be good men or good

The following from late Norwich Comm pa
per, may also be worthy of notice.
While making excavations on the sites
for new mills OH the banks of the She
tucket, an Indian grave was opened, con-
tanning besides few bones, pot, spoon
and small box, all Of copper, glass bot
ties and some other articles. II was near
this spot that the famous battle was fought
between Uncas, Sachem of the Mohc.
gans and Mantinomi, chiefofthe Narra-
gansetts, in which the latter was slam.--
Judging from the thigh bones, which are
nearly entire, the person inferred must
have possessed a gigantic stature and
powerful frame. Possibly this grave was
the burial place Of that renowned warrior.

From the Richmond Compiler.


THE GREAT SEcREr.--Wer | to
name the principal cause Of the bad feel
ing, evil speaking, and all uncharltable-
ness, which we show toward other per-
sons, | should say it was the not placing
ourselves in their situation, and thus al
lowing for the circumstances in which
they are placed. We must learn to eX-
change, in imagination at least, our stu
ations with them, in order to Judge of the
motives by which they are operated, the
reasons by Which they are guided, and
the temptations by which they are besct.
Where our own interests conflict with
theirs, we think too much of ourselves,
too little of them. We look to our own
wants, and if our neighbors do not suili-
cienty comply with our inclmations, we
wonder at their inattention. We are in
dienant at the selishness which they
seem to display-while all the time, per-
haps, we are the more selfish of the two
we are thinking almost altogether of
ourselves, and very little of them.
The old are surprised by the frivolity
of the young, The young are Disguised
with the prudence of the old.
The rich man wonders at the coarse
ness of the poor. The poor are indig-
nant at the excessive refinement and vo-
uptuous habits of the rich.
The countryman laughs at the fashions,
the visiting cards, the particular hours
set apart for pleasure in the towns. The
townsman laughs at the manners and re-
gularity of a country life.
A man who is not in business in town
bores without mercy the man who is en-
gagged in active business: while the lat
ter is enraged by the tedious visits This
more idle neighbor.
What is remarkable, is that the same
person sometimes exchanges situations
in life, and yet forgetting the circumstan-
ces by which he was formerly surround
ed, takes an entirely different view Of
the interests and duties of his former sit
uation. Thus, while he lived tenant,
he thinks it very hard that his landlord
does not make all the repairs which his
caprice suggests. But as soon as he be-
comes landlord, he forgets the interest
Of the tenant, and thinks it hard that the
tenant asks for any repairs at all. A la
borer expects thousand sacrifices on
the part of his employer-and when he
becomes an employer, he expects every
sacrifice on the part of the laborer.
II is too much the case with every vo-
cation in life-with every exchange of
situution-with every variety OF interest
and duty which the many colored drama
Of life presents to us. We know very
well our own situation. We know the
remedies which would relieve us. But
we know not sufficiently the situation of
others. Or, at least we do not give our
selves time to enter into their situation
to adopt their feelings, and to UNDER
