A RICH WARD.

The truth of the Proverb that "there
is nothing lost by doing a charitable ac-
tion," is forcibly exemplifed by cor
respondent Of the Christian Advocate s.
Journal, who furnishes sketch Of the
life Of l. c., respectable member fthe
Society Of Friends. This individual, it
appears, at the age of l8, walked forty
miles to put himself Apprentice to GER
tain trade; q ferry intervened, and he had
no money to pay the fare, but kind
hearted woman lent him four pence. lie
learned his trade, and experienced vari-
Gus vicissitudes Of fortune, until he final
ly settled in New-Y York, where he amas-
sed large fortune, and retired from
business. In gratitude to the woman
who had lent HIM four pence, he school
ed all her children, and gave her PEN
sion Of one hundred dollars per annuin,
which, by provision in his will, she is
TO receive during her life. This is more
than compound interest on the sum orig
inslly lent.

Tread softly stranger! this is ground
Which no rude footsteep should impress;
With tender pity gaze around,
Let sadness all thy soul possess.
Tread softly lest thou crush the flowers
That o'er this turf are taught TO wave,
TranspIaned from their native bowers,
Te shed their sweets o'er "Beaaiy's Grave" "
And stranger, let your melting heart
Mark we'll this fresh and verdant sod;
And ere you from the scene depart,
o! let your soul commune with God.
Thus fade the fragile buds Of earth,
Thus fade the lovely and the brave!
Come here! ye though.less sons Of mirth!
And pause awhile DER "Beauty's Gravs.'
Sweet withsr'd rose! may thy pale doom
Call tears into the Virgins eye!
Oh! may the prospect Of this tomb
Remind her, IAN that live must die!"
And warn her in the days Of youth,
To think Of Him who being gave,
And bid her seek the ways of truth,
Like her who sleeps in ''Beauty's Grave"

Answer.

The dews of night may fall from Heaven,
Upon,lhe wither'd rose Is bed,
And tears Of fond regret be given,
To mourn the virtues Of the dead,
Yet mornings sun the dews will dry,
And tears will fade from sorrows eye,
Affections pangs be lulled TO sleep,
And cen love forget to weep.
The tree may mourn its fallen leaf,
And autumn winds bewail its bloom,
And friends may heave the sigh Of grief,
Der those who sleep within the tomb;
Yet soon will spring renew ths flowers,
And time will bring more smiling hours;
In friendships heart all grief will die,
And e'en love forget to sigh.
Tie sea may on the desert shore,
Lament each trace il tears away,
The lonely heart its grief may pour,
Ger cherish'd friendships fas, decay;
Yet when all trace is lost and gone,
The waves dance bright and gaily on,
Thus soon affections bonds are torn,
And cen love forgets to mourn.

MISCELLANY.
[From Chambers Edinburgh Journal.
"A Turn for Business.

Next to thorough grounding in good
principles, perhaps the thing most essen
tial TO success in life, is habit of COM
municating easily with the world. By
entering readily into conversation with
others, we not only acquire information
by being admitted to the stores, which
men Of various modes of thinking have
amassed, and thereby gain an insight in
to the peculiarities Of human character,
but those persons into whose society we
may be accidentally thrown, are glati-
fed to think that they have been able to
afford instruction. Seeing that we ap-
pre- ciate their favorite subject, they con-
ceive a high opinion Of our penetration,
and not unirequently exert themselves
wonderfully to promote our interests
Men in business, particularly, who have
this happy turn Of being able to slide DIS
it were into discourse, and to throw into
that train which is best suited to the ca
Pacltles and humors Of others, are Won
deriully indebted to it for the run of Gus
toners 1t entices to their shops. A state
ly, grave, or solemn manner, is very in
appropriate in measuring stuhs by the
yard; and though a man be penetrated
by the deepest sense Of gratitude, if his
bow be stiff, and his countenance not of
relaxing cast, he makes not half so ia
vorable an impression as another who
may not perhaps be a more deserving
person in the main, but has a more
graceful method Of acknowledging his
obligations. II is astonishing, too, at
how cheap a rate good will is to be pur-
chased. An insinuating way of testify
ing satisfaction with the pleasantness OF
the weather, is often very eflectual
way Of extending popularity; it is regar-
ded as an act of condescension when ad-
dressed to some, while with others il is
received as the indication of a happy
temperament, which is at all times attrac.
tive. A person who "has little to say, -
or, in other words, who does not design
to open his mouth, except when it is in
dispensably necessary, never proves
generally acceptable. You will hear
such a one described as ga very good
sort ofman IN his ,cay;" but people rath.
er avoid him. He has neither the talen
OF conversing in an amusing vein him.

in the concerns of his profession, and in
society when there is no object to serve,
but that of passing time agreeably. His
engaging address is productive Of COM
mercial advantages, but it is not thing
acquired and brought into exercise, sole
ly for that end. Some people, no doubt,
finding themselves to have u proposes
sing manner, do employ it sy ematical-
ly to promote their views of business;
but by far the greater number employ it
because they have it, and without refer
ence to the pecuniary profit that may
accrue. The pecuDiary profit, howev-
er, follows not the less as It's conse-
quence; and we have the satisfaction Of.
seeing urbanity Of manners, almost uni
formIy rewarded by attaining to easy cir
cumstanccs, while the man of gruif,
unsocial humor, has usually to maintain
a hard struggle with fortune. The mere
packing of knowledge, into the heads of
children, is not the only thing required
to insure their future responsibility and
happiness-the qualities of the heart, al
so demand the fostering care of the in
structer; and since so much depends on
their temper s. behavior to those around
them, parents cannot be too assiduous in
the cultivation of ailability, the posses
sion of which virtue is the grand secret
that conlers GA fine turn for business. "

GRATITUDE.

GRATITUDE.
No trait in the character Of man is,
more lovely and desirable, than that Of
Gratitude. And we may add zone are
80 deserving Of the severest reprehen-
sion, as those who are to great extent,
destitute Of grateful heart. Living as
we do, under the kind inspection Of a
bountiiul Creator-enjoying daily the
innumerable blessings which are scatter
cd in our pathway, does it not become
us as rational and accountable beings, to-
give place and culture to the spirit Of
Gratitude? Should we not with over
flowing hearts and willing minds, pour
out our grateful oblations to that God,
from whom "cometh every good and per-
feet gift" Most certainly.
But alas! how prone we are to live on,
enjoying the blessings of life, with scarce
ly sensation Of Gratitude. How often
do we set down to eat and drink, and
rise up to play, unmindful of the giver:
Yes, and often do we, by our murmurs
& complaints, give rise to the detestable
principle Of distrust and ingratitude.-
Here is a prolific source Of misery; here
is the step-stone to unbelief and rebel
lion against the God who shields and
protects us. How studiously should we
watch our hearts-how careful to sup.
press every evil suggestion Of distrust,
every sigh of ingratitude. Let US learn
wisdom in regard to this matter, and dai,
ly-yea hourly exercise feelings Of Grat-
itudo to our father in Heaven.

There is no man but that hath soul; ;
and, if he will look carefully to it, he
need not complain for want of business.
Where there are so many corruPtions to
mortiiy, SO many inclinations to watch
over, so many temptations to resist, the
graces of God to improve, and former
neglects of all these to lament; surely
he can never want employment; for all
these require time; and SO men at their

Such was the ingenious simplicity of
the primitive Christians, that they looked
upon it as a disparagement to be put un-
der oath, thinking it sufficient for good
man to give this assurance of his truth,
