that glitters appears 10 be gold to the in- experienced mind, the idea of pay day never comes into their view, when they sign their names 10 promissory notes, their ability to meet which depends entirely upon contin- genoies which they cannot control Unfor- tunately in the American temperament there is universal proneness for overtrading. Every body wants to make money too fast, ana all seem to forget the old adage, 'sthe more haste, the less speed" Young men want to begin where their fathers left of, and from commencing at the wrong end they find in their old age perhaps, that the tables are turned upon them, and that they end where their fathers began. Ifthis pro- pensity should be checked, it would be of incalculabe advantage to the community. Insolvencies would be far less frequent, and a large portion of the enduring misery which results therefrom, both to creditors and debtors, would be Preyentad.--I phiadei- phia Gazette.

eunuch who accompanied her, but the noise around prevented my hearing word she ut tered.
 However. as she drew near the place of punishment the spectators became pro- foundiy silent; and when sine arrived at ths mortar not breath was heard. She took advantage of this silence to raise her voice and address the multitude with precision and clearness which excited universal as- tonishment. But the officers preceiving the impression she produced on the stand- CTS by, soon interrupted her.---She made no effort to continue, and suffered herself to be taken close to the mortar; her step was firm, she did not pray, she did not speak but appeared more resigned than many men would be in the same condition. She did not even shed tear.
 She was told 10 knee down and lean her breast against the mouth of the mortar. She obeyed. Her wrists were bound with a cord, and they were firmly tied to some pickets that had been placed there. In the mean time she did not discover the least emotion. She leaned her head on the mor- tar, and awaited her fate with calmness that the bravest soldier might envy.
 At length the signal was given. A man armed with a 6rebrand, bent 1t slowly to the match, and just as it was about to take fire. a universal shudder took place among the crowd. The match was lighted one mo- n.eHt only had passed; deep groan had is- sued from every bosom; the smoke disap- peared; there was no explosion and the un- happy creature raised her head to sec what had happened. A rapid beam of hope then shot across my breast; l thought it was meant she should be saved.
 Scarcely had this idea entered my mind, when another brand was lighted. The yic- tim raised her head second time, and gave deep sight, as if her soul had taken its flight; this long, this dreadful sigh had scarcely finished when the explosion took place, aid sssie smoke of the powder hid every object from my sight.
 The fatal cloud, however, was soon dis persed; the explosion was finished, all was annihilated except few shreds of her gar- ments, and the bones of her arms. Two women rushed forward at the fatal moment towards the scene of punishment, seized these remnants, and hiding them with their yeils, hastily returned 10 their haram, car rying these dreadful testimonies Of san- guinary judgment.

Commercial Creda.--Hsop was once sent to market by his master, who had in- vited some company to dinner, with orders to buy the best filings he could find III 1t. He returned home with basket of tongues, and upon being reproyed for hls bad taste
 in selecting such dinner for company. insisted upon it that he had literally obeyed his instructions, for that tongues were the best things in the world. By them 1t was that truths were promulgated and false- hoods denounced. He might even have gone so far as to have said, that some of the wisest lessons in his book of fables, had 1t then been written, were pronounced by the tongues of goats, sheep, and other anl- mals. His master, in rage, told him to go back, and purchase the acorst Hsings he could find in the market, and to his aston iahment on Esop's return, he found his basket was again loaded with tongues, which he insisted were tho worst things m the world, especially when employed in hypoc- risy, fiattery and deceit.
