EDUCATE YOUR cH1LDREN.-T The A.
merican parent does an injustice to his
child, which he can never repair, for
which no inheritance can compensate,
by refusing to give him a full education
because he is not intended for learn-
led profession whatever he may in
tend, he cannot know what his son may
come to, and if there should be no
change in this respect, will liberaled-
ucation be lost upon him, because he is
not a lawyer, doctor, or divine? Notf-
ing can be more untrue or pernicious
than this opinion. It is impossible to
imagine citizen of this commonwealth
to be in situation in which the discip-
line and requirements of acolligate ed
ucation, however various and extend
ed, will not have their value. They
will give him consideration and useful
ness, which will be seen or felt in his
daily intercourse of business or pleas
ure; they will give him weight and
worth as member Of society, and be
anevcr-failing source ofhonorable, vir-
tuous, and lasting enjoyment, ufl.lerH
all circumstances and in every statsonv
of life. They will preserve him froriss
the decisions Of dangerous errors, and
the seductive vices. The gambling ta-s
BILE will not be resorted to, to hasten
the slow and istless step oftime, when
the library offers surer and more at
tractive resource. The bottle will not
be applied to, to stir the languid spirit
to action and delight, when the magic
of the poet is at hand to rouse the ina
gination, and pour its fascinating won-
ders on the SOUL Such gifts, such ac-
quirements, will make their possessor
a true friend, a more cherished COM
Panfon, irlurU interesting, .beloved,
and loving husband, a more valuable
and respected parent. The Essayesf.
HAPPINESS. 1t would form perhaps
one OF the most amusing, ifnot the most
instructive chapters in poetic history,
to compare the various opinions ex-
pressed by the inspired, respecting hap-
piness. Hewhodwells in a lonely val
ley, believes happiness resides in the
crowded city among company s. books;
while he who sighs amid the rattle Of
other mems chariot wheels, and the
smoke of ten thousand chimneys, fixes
the abode Of happiness by the side Of
some purling brook, beside a green
hill, where the wind is ever fragrant
and the voice of nature alone is heard.
The high-born bard, sick Of the hollow
courtesies Of polished society, signs for
pastoral solitudes, where flowers never
fade, and fiocks never stray, and beau-
ty is never out Of blossom; the shep-
herd bard on the other hand, who has
to wander over moor and mountains,
half choked III winter with drifting
snow, and half scorched in summer
with burning suns, who has to smear
and clip his focks, as well as keep them
from the fox, and save them too from
smothering in the snow wreaths, en-
vies the oppulcnt, and longsto be 4 lord.
Thereswas some sense in the remark
OF Scotchman, who, in reading the
