of her prudence and her courage. En-
lightened by the past, le, US profit by ex-
perience so dearly acquired: let US ap-
ply ourselves to calm the passions, to

From the Journal de Paris.
The King had scarcely ceased to speak,
when the liyeliest acclamations burst
from all parts Of the Chamber.
A correspondent of the London Times
says: "Thc discussion upon the address
will most probably be very interesting
in reference to external affairs. The
Opposition will not fail TO make great
noise about America, but the majority
of the Chamber is less warlike, and the
answer will contain nothing to embar-
rass the Governments of France and
England. fit is true that she has chargS
ed herself with the mediation on this
question. On the contrary. ] think the
moderation of the French Chambers will
give facility to the negotiations, and O.
pen fresh channels Of Cancellation"

ADVICE TO YOUTH.

How important are the periods Of
childhood and youth In these peri
DDS, education Is chiefly acquired, the
character is then formed, the person
generally becomes what he is 10 be for
sver and ever. What is sown 10
spring, viii be feaped in autumn. The
impressions and passions .; childhood
and youth. will be experienced in old
age. Every ihing, my young friends
is important to you. As the atmos-
phere, in some places, conveys health,
in others, death, so the place where yon
live may cause moral health, or spir-
itual dealh.-Ths books which you
read, the sermons which you hear, may
convey saving truth, or fatal error.
One wicked companion may be as Ia
tai 10 you, as ths serpenl Of paradise.
One evil example may disturb your
judgment, may influence your passions.
One alluring word, one enliciog look,
may, like enchan.mens, relax the yigor
OF your resolution, aud plunge you
down the gulf of ruiz. Take heed,
thea, TO all your ways, your labors,
your amusements, your. stpdies, your
Words your thoughts: the objects
which you see, the sounds which yon
hear. "Hs that waIketh with the wise
shall be wise. but coppanion Of TOOLS
SHALL be deslroyea.o
