And gather gear by every vile
That's justified hy honor

E And gather gear by every vile
That's justified hy honor @
Nor for TO hide il in n hedge,
Nor for a train attendant, !
But for the glorious privilege
Of being independent"
And this glorions privilege, which is with,
in the reach of oil who are blessed with q
common degree OF health aud ability, how
many fail to obtain! How very many, who
might have passed pleasant, happy life, and
died good men, and respected citizens. go
through this mortal existence, toilng like
poor muck worms, and squandering the pro-
ceeds of their hard labor, with the most con-
summatc folly, and depart poor and destitute,
cursing their hard lot, aud almost blaming
their maker for their want Of worldly COM
forts. This is sad picture, but alas, it is
true. The remedy is simple. Let young
men, and young women too, resolve to break
away from the silly customs of society, which
compel them to live life Of poverty and sor-
row, in order that they may for II time, ap-
pear little better than they can honestly at.
ford to. Let them resolve to obtain posses
sion Of the "glorious privilege" which Burns
speaks OF, before they begin to indulge in
extravaganza and luxurious living; and our
word for it, ifthey adopt this course, they will
never know what want is. 1t is said that
when the first deposit is made in n savings
institution, the depositor's fortune is n'ade.-
This is, in one sense, true. 1t is as true that
he who is the maker of his own fortune, will
never become a spcndtlrift, unless perchance
he should fall under the blighting influence
Of intemperancc. Then, indeed, we cannot
undertake to say what may not be his
fate.
In short, il is moral obligation, n rclig-
ious duty, and of the highest personal impor-
tance, to attend To the dictates Of reason and
common sense, with regard to prudent use
of this worlds goods. 1t is a singular fact.
that whatever is Of the greatest importance,
in the moral constitution Of things, that mon
are the most apt to neglect. Witness, in
proof, the extreme apathy with which 80
large portion of mankind treat the subject
Of religion; subject, that they are told, in
wolves their destiny; for ages, thousands, in
the giddy whirl Of pleasure. and the cngrOss-
ing cares of business, never stop to examine
with half the interest that they would look
over new dress, or some simple article of
trade. And so il il with the subject OF liv.
ing, and personal economy. Mary young
people come into life more like thoughllcss
butterflies, than thinking, reasoning beings.
No wonder then, that when the storms of
life come on, they find themselves poor and
destitute. Would that they could condescend
to take lessons OF the humble mt! We
should then hear less complaint about hard
times, and there would be a great many
more happy fables in the world--and, lit is
not too much to addD more happy souls in
the world to come. .|

'Soeraies and the ,ci.o,oer.--A husband lost
dutiful and beloved wife. The loss filled
his mind with grief; and, in his despair, he
would have slain eifwllh hls dag ger, had
not his friends prevented him. Disappointed,
but still furious, he dashed his head against
the wall determined to seek death in some
way, so as to rcjoin the beloved one. 1t was
with great difficulty that he was appeascd,
and persuaded to consult the sage Socrates,
and seek advice and consolation at his hands.
lie did so, and the philosophers only answer
was, "come again in eight months" At the
end Of that time he did not come: for he had
married again!

tFrom the Dedham Patriot.
YOUNG AMERICANS.

Young men in this country come into cx.
istencc like the Kentucky hunter in battle,
on their o,c,i hooks, and must stand or fall ac-
cording to their own measure of shrew dness
and natural ability. This is certainly an
excellent pro, ision in our social system. 1t
is calculated to bring forth clear, vigorous
minds, hardy constitutions, high minded men,
and, in many eases, this has evidently been
the effect of this state Of things.
There is pretty fashionable folly, howev-
or. which is doing much to counteract the
good effect Of this arrangement, and creating
a great deal of mischief IN our Republic; we
allude to the rage for show, and display in
dress and household ornaments, and the cx-
travagance Of the people generally. Newly
married mechanics, with an income of less
than five hundred dollars per annum, some
times support matrimonial establishne nj
good enough for a wealthy broker; journey
men, too, who receive the highest wages that
workmen ut their business ever command,
become the victims Of foolish extravaganza,
and disspate the rich rewards of industry,
like dust in the breeze; and even apprenli-
ces, with just enough to keep themselves
we'll clothed, initiate their seniors, and finish
the period of their apprenticeship, (if indeed
they finish it at ally poorer III purse, than
they commenced.
Well, and what Of it, Mr.. Preacher?-have
not people right to do os they please with
their property? Oh certainly-and they have
a right to reap the reward Of their folly, too,
ifthey choose;-and remain poor, and dis
tressed with want, as hong as they live, if
they pre- fer sach course. We hear people
complaining of hard times, and wondering
what can be the cause OF such an extreme
and continued pressure. Look at the history
of these same grumblers, and see how much
valuable time, and how much hard money
they threw away--squandere tooiIshly-
while young nen and Yomen,trying to "keep
up ppeayances'-when every body around
them was laughing ut their folly, or envying
their conditioa, instead ot respecting them
for the fine cloth they wore, and the costly
ornaments they were able to purchase.
Depend npea 1t, young men labor under a
serious deluson ln regard to wealth and
worldly appearance. We are surprised thai
amongst slf the homilies that have been
written tor the ediHcatioD aud moral instruc-
ton of Young men, 50 few have touched up
on the subject Of worldly discipline, and per-
sonal economy. The neglect Of this subject
is a sad defect in the systems Of your moral
philosophers. Poverty,and the causes which
lead to il, in our opinion, have more effect
upon the spiritual interests Of mankind, than
any single cause in Me moral constitution OF
the world. Nextto wisdom, in the scsk of
important subjects, we should place econo-
my. We eau never think Of this topic, and
the miseres which result from q neglect OF
il, without feco.lecting a golden maxim in
the writings OF the immortal Burns, winch
should be stamped indelibly upoa the hear,
Of every American child, lie says
.,sIo win dame fortune 's,golden smiles,
Assiduous wait upon her.

EXAMPLE AND PRECEPT.-A fine fashion
able mother one beautiful spring morning,
walked forth in to the city, leading by the
hand little child of five or SIX years DID,
The former was dressed in all the fantastic
inery of the times; she had pink bonnet,
ornamented with a bird Of paradise, shaded
with huge bows Of wide ribbon; sleeves
which caused her taper waist to appear like
lean famine, supported on either side by
overgrown plenty; her gown was Of such re-
dundancy of plaits and folds, that the whole
family might have been clothed from its SUI
periintes; and while with one hand she led
the little girl along, in the other she held n
cambric handkerchief worked with various
devices, aud bordered with rich lace report
ed to have cost fifty dollars. The little
child was dressed as fine as its mother, for
she unfortunately had light curly hair and
was reckoned a beauty.
They passed toy shop, and the child in
sisted on going in, where she laid out all
the money she had in various purchases that
were ofno use whatever, in spite of the ad-
vice of her mother, who alternately scoldcd
and laughed at her for thus wasting her al
lowance on things so useless. The child
seemed to reflect few moments, and thus
addressed her mother:
"Mother, what is the use Of the great
sleeves you wear?"
The mother was. SILENT for the question
puzzled her.
"Mother, what is the use of that fine bird
on your hat?'
The mother was still moro at loss for
reply.
"Mother, what is the use of having work
ed handkerchicfy bordered with lace, to wipe
your nose?"
"Come along" cried the mother, somewhat
roughly, as she dragged the little girl out of
the toy shop; 'come along and don't ask so
many foolish questions ~. Il. Paulding.

Sacred truihs.-1he fairest productions Of
human wit, after few perusals, like gathered
flowers, wither in our hands, and lose their
fragrancy; but scripture precepts, like unfad-
ing plants Of paradise, become, as we are ac-
customed to them, still more and more beau
tifnl; their bloom appears to be daily height
ened; fresh odours to be emitted, and new
sweets extracted from them. He who hath
once tasted their excellcncics. will desire to
taste them again; and he who tastes them
oftenest, will relish them best.

WINTER.-IIas it ever been considered,
what man in his intellectual and moral char
acter owes to winter? How many of the acts
which exercise the ingenuity Of mankind, are
subservient to grow out Of a preparation for
the inclemences Of this season. The neces-
sity of adopting due precautions against its
approach Is the great universal incentive to
industry, to economy, and to foresight. No
countries are so poor as those blessed by
heaven with perpetual verdure. None so
abound with idle pensioners on public bounty
as those where winter is unknown. The
desire OF providing the warm dwelling, com
fovtable clothing, and fuel, is constant spur
to exertion. Whe re the only absolute want
is the want Of food, the majority will surely
be idle. In no country do beggars so abound
as in Italy; and fruit constitutes nearly all
that Is necessary to subsistence.
To winter we owe our finest experience Of
domestic eDjoyment; the words home, and
comfort, convey their full meaning only to
him who has made one at domestic firesidc
while the storm was raging without. Winter
improves the social affections. Hospitality
expands under its influence into rieb and
noble sentiment, in which he that bestows
and he that receives are alike blessed. Char
ity gains froIn wiater her sweetest opportu-
mites Of doing good, and calling forth over
flowing gratitude. Public and private benc-
hcence are at work, devising measures to
protect from cold and hunger, those whom
misfortune or improvidence has left without
means to procure shelter and necessaries.-
In hne, winter makes men serious and,
thoughtful. checks tho exuberance OF fancy,
and exhibits in their aspect, the stern realities
Of he: -
Whittier now are Aed
those dreams Of greatness; those lonei ings afier
fame,
Those bu-iling days; those gay spen, festive nights,
Lot between good and ill., that shared our iael
Such are the reflections winter whispers

In the vale where the sparkling waters flow:
Where the faircst, earliest violeis grow;
Where the sky md ths earth are softly fair,
Bury her there-bury her there!
Where shall tire dead, and the beautiful sleep!
Where wild flowers bloom in the valley deep;
Where the sweet robes Of spring may softly rest
In purity Ger the seeper's breast:
Where NJ heard The voice Of The snless dove,
Breathing notes Of deep and undying love;
Where no column proud in the sun may glow,
To mock The heart shas is resting below;
Where pure hearts are sleeping, forever blest,
Where wandering Peril love to rest;
Where the sky and the earth are softly fair,
