InduStry.

There are few qualifications of more
utility, or that come to us more recon-
mended by high authority, than this one
of industry. 4 he famous Duke de Sui
ley, the minister, told the court he had
no leisure for amusements; he rose at
four daily. Michael Angelo, labored
during the night, sometimes going to bed
with his clothes on, merely for short
time, and rising again to resume his la
bors. The minute account which DR..
johnson gives us Of the course Of life Of
the great Milton, shows how previously
that ilustrious poet valued the use Of
time. The industry of some writer's has
been shown in the magnitude of their
works; Wicklffe could afford TO have
two hundred of his works destroyed, and
still he may be regarded as voluminous
writer; Prynne, who fourished at the
period OF the Commonwealth, wrote more
than forty folio and quarto volumes /;
Anthony Arnauld composed more than
one hundred works; and Lope de Vegas
assures us that he himself wrote, on the
average, five sheets per day during his
life. In nothing in fact, are there great
er distinctions Of merit occasioned be-
tween men, than in industry and idle
ness. Some one reminded Montesqueu,
that idleness was placed among the plea
sures of heaven; it should rather, said
the great philosopher, be accounted as
one Of the torments Of hell; and this is
the judgment which every experienced
man will be inclined to concur in. LOU
is XIV, warned his son that there was
nothing, even in the duties of the kingly
office, more laborious than idleness; and
duke of the same nation, De Rohan,
was known to have said that a greater
curse could not belal man than having
nothing to do. DR.. Chcyne, late PEN
etrating and acute physician used to say
that the headaches, cholcs, nervous
pains and disorders, so much complained
Of by certain classes in this country,
were universally the produce Of idleness,
and fnlness Of bread.

Memory and Hope.
BY J. X. PAULDING.

Hope is the leading string of youth
memory the staff Of age. Yet for long
time they were at variance and scarcely
ever associated together. Memory was
almost always grave, nay, sad and mel
ancholy. She delighted in silence and
repose, amid rocks and waterfalls and
whenever she raised her eyes from the
ground, il was only to look over her
shoulder. Hope was smiling, dancing,
rosy boy, with sparkling eyes, and it W as
impossible to look upon him without be-
ing inspired by his gay and sprightly
Herald of the times. [volume] (Newport, R.I.) 1830-1846, 1834-06-05


it up to look at them.
"Good morrow, old lady, and all happi-
ness to YOU" cried Hope, gaiIy, and the
old woman thought it was a long time
since she had heard such cheerful sa-
lutation.
"Happiness!" said she, in voice
that quivered with weakness and nfirmi-
y, "Happiness! | have not known it
since / was IA little girl, without care or
sorrow. o, ] remember those delightful
days, when ! thought Of nothing but the
present moment, nor cared for the future
or the past When | laughed and sung
from morning till night, and enved no
one, or wished to be any other than /
was. But those happy times are past
never TO return. o, if | could only once
more return to the days Of my child
hoodn"
The old woman sunk back upon her
seat, and the tears flowed from her hol-
low eyes.
Memory again reproached her COM
panion, but he only asked her if she re-
collected the little girl they had met a
long time ago, who was so miserable be-
cause she was so young? Memory knew
it well enough, and said not another
word
They now approached their home, and
Memory was on tiptoe with the thought
Of once more enjoying the unequalIed
beauties Of those scenes from which she
had been so long separated. But, some
how or other, it seemed they were sadly
changed. Neither the grass was so
green, the flowers SO sweet and lovely +,
nor did the brooks murmur, the echoes
answer, or the birds sing half so enchant-
ingly, as she remembered them in long
time past.
"Alas" she exclaimed, Chow chang
ed is every thing! alone am the same"
| "Every thing is the same, and thou
alone art changed" answered Hope
"Thou hast deceived thyself in the past,
just as much as l deceive others in the
| iuturen'
"What is it you are disputing about"'
asked an old man, whom they had not
observed before, though he was stand
ing close by them. 81 have lived al
most four-score and ten years, and my
experience may perhaps enable me to
decide between you"
They told him the occasion Of their
disagreement, and re ated the history OF
their journey round the earth. The old
man smiled, and for few moments sat
buried in thought. He then said to
them:
}, 81, too, have lived to see all the hopes
ofm youth turn into shadows, clouds
and darkness, and vanish into nothing
! too, have survived my fortune my
friends-my children--thc hilarity OF
youth, and the blessing Of health"
"And dost thou not despair 2" said
Memory.
"No, have still one Hope left me-"
"And what is thatW
