est stations. lie can compete and snccoss-
fully compete with any opponent. lie can
strive for, and win too, the wreath with
which science and literature and learning a.
dorm the names Of their votaries. Why, then,
should not the young mechanic, pursuing
the noiseIess tenor of his way, learn in his
workshop to place proper value upon his
character, and all those principles which, com
bincd, constitute that character? why should
he yield to others in early forming his mind
after the brightest models? He has illustri-
Gus examples of what can be accomplished
by talents and virtue. He knows that Roc
Err SHERMAN was shoemaker's apprentice;
that NATHANIEL GREENE was blacksmith 5
apprentice; that ARKwRIGHr was BARRIERS
apprentice; that RITTENHoUsE was watch
makers apprentice; that FRANKLIN was a
Iprinter's pprentice.--And with these men
in his recollection, and the remembrance of
what they did for themselves and their coun-
try. he need not suffer his honorable amoi-
ton to excel in those traits which distinguish
ed them, to be depressed or extinguished.

one she loved, restored her to comparative
health and strength, and they put up at pri-
yate boarding house in Pearl street. Thus
Mary travelled double the distance Of Beck
cts mother, without knowing even the chris
tisn or sirname Of her beloved. In the mean
time the mate arrived at New York, was
transferred to the command of merchant
man in the southern trade, was cast away,
fell i'll, wrote to Europe, his letter miscanied,
he sailed himself for England, went to the
surgeons house, was told all about Mary,
that she had then sailed about seven days for
Boston. He took passage in the first vessel,
came on to New York, and without knowing
that they were in the house, actually put up
at the same place, and slept beneath the
same roof with Mary and her brother on Sun
day night. In the morning, when he de-
scended to the breakfast table, where he
found the family already assembled, the first
object that met his view on entering the
room was the form Of the fair traveller
She saw his face uttered no exclamation, but
sprang from her seat towards him, and
would have fallen had he not rushed forwards
and caught her in his arms, cxclaming,
"Good God! Mary, is it you?" as she tainted
away. When she recovered, mutual expla-
nations and greetings took place, and we are
happy to say, that they were married yester-
day afternoon, and set off the same evening
to spend the honey moon at Albany, and by
this time doubtless know one another as wei
as though they had been acquainted foI
years. IN Y. Transcript

APPRENTICES.

In the present age, emphatically called the
sage of Improvement" there is no lack of all
that boy need want, in the way Of books,
to enable him readily to acquire great deal
of knowledge in short time, and with per-
feet ease and even pleasure to himself We
must not here, also, omit to mention the ne
cessity OF instilling into the mind, along with
the desire of gaining information, the wish
of being distinguished for virtuous and cor
rect department. A reverence for religion
propriety OF language and dbehaviour-gentle-
ness and obedience;-all these mark the boy
destined to be an honorable and useful men,
Der of society, just as surely as profanity, late
hours, bad company, and perverseness, indi-
cate the young man following rapidly the
road to ruin, and soon to arrive at its termi-
nation in misery and wretchedness. When
we see young mechanic lettering about the
corners. or arriving at home at hours far ad-
vanced in the night-drinking, carousing, or
gaming-associating with loose, dissipated or
abandoned characters, whatever good quail
ties he may possess, we know that he is at
once placed under the ban Of the displeasure
Of all correct men in the community. The
inclination to encourage or think well of him
is lost in the detestation Of such conduct. and
If he remains where he is raised, although
his subsequent course may give evidence Of
an alteration in his mode Of lifo, it will take
years and years 10 remove the prejudces
thus excited, and the unfavorable impressions
thus created. In the estimate that is made
Of a mans character by those amongst whom
he was raised, it invariably happens that an
account is taken Of his habits while boy,
and deduction or addition accordingly.
In this country, the industrious mechanic
is as honored and as worthy Of honor as the
professional man. Upon him, depends, as
one Of the largest class in business communi-
ties, the task, mainly, Of protecting, and pre-
serving the institutions Of his country
There is no barrier to his access to the high

The following beautiful extract, from Poe
entitled "ScENEs OF THE REVOLUTION"
p. Hamilton Myers. we copy from the Jul
number Of the New York Mirror.
Where now are they, the fearless few,
Who when the storm the darkest grew,
In compact close together drew,
With unblanch'd cheek and dauntless brow;
Who, all they had, or hoped for, gagged,
And fortune, life and honor pledged
Those patriot ones, where are they now
Like autumn leaves, fall'n one by one,
Down TO the silent gave they've gone.
Yesi one by one stern death has ta'en
The hsllow'd links OF that bright chuiu,
That bound US to the past
And yet unsunken is the sod,
Ger him who sought his home with God,
Of that loved band the last
And where are they WHO rallied then
Around their country's star-lit flag,
From hill and valley, dale and glen,
From forest deep and mountain crag;
Those Spartan souls who looked on death,
Nor knew in dangers path to pause,
Who would not yield, save with their breath,
Their country's colors, or her cause
A few reniain-and 'm0ngst Us now,
Some tetter o 'er their faithful stall,
With Times snow-wreath upon their brow,
A by-gone cent'ry's cenotaph-
Those palsied arms, and trembling hands
Have welded once the battle brands,
And slemln'd the tide Of death
Those eyes that age has darkcn'd now.
Were wont with feelings fire 10 glow;
And that now shorten'd breath
Has jon'd, with loud huzzas, the cry
Ger the won field, Of Victory"
Pass'd, like the visions Of tho night,
Are all those scenes Of terror now;
Battle and blood. the fearful sight,
The brave upon the field lay low,
And slav'ry's night has given way
10 The full dawn Of freedoms day.

NEW DRESSING ROOM,
Second door north Of Townsend's Coffee House,
where gentlemen aud ladies' may have their

HNllERE is nothing connected with gentle
- mans dress which makes him appear more
ridiculous, than a long beard and bushy head;
therefore he that would look well should have
his hair cut often, yet his looks are not much
improved by having it cut if it is not cut as Il
should be. Some cut hair in such manner as
would lead one to coaclede that It had been
gnawed by some animal, or pounded of with a
stone. Hair should be cut often and cut we'll
by this means it is improved in color and texture,
makes II take deeper root, and thereby becomes
more trnsly fixed in the head. and this Is the on
,ly sure way TO prevent it from falling out. The
subscriber has paid particular attention 10 the cut
ting and culture Of the hair for great length Of
time, which enable him to cut in any form or
fashion which may be required, and in this
branch Of his business he acknow ledges no supe-
rior. Amy person that can use pair Of shears,
can use them to cut hair, and may cut il in "a
fashionable manner too, that is, they may cut 1t
off Of one side Of the head and leave it on tie
other, as the fashion may be, which is all that
many, very many know about cutting hair who
pretend to cut; but for person 10 understand
this par of the business as he ought, he must be
mechanic-and have the eye Of mechanic =
he must know how the head will look (when il
is 6nisied) before he begins TO cut-ths the sub
scriber understands.

And each IN his glory laves.
