Of lis origin, and stamped with the
bright seal Of truth that his mission

Acquaintanees, have you ever quar-

fered: II He who was pure and per-
feet forgave his bitierest enemies, do
you well to cherish your anger' Bro
theirs. to you the precept is imperative |:
you SHALL forgive-not seven times,
but seven times seven.
Husband and wives, you have no

To err Is the lot of humanity. Illness

disappointment ruffies the smoothest
temper. Guard, / beseech you. with
unremi.ting vigilance, your passions !;
controlled, they are the genial heat
that warns us along the way Of life
ungoverned, they are consuming fires.
Let your strife be one Of respectful at

Cultivate with care, the kind and gen.

but eradicate the thorn that grows in
your partners path above all, let
no feeling OF revenge find haTbor in

an obliging aciion-if it be . tTiAing

factor, who contributes in the lesst do
gree TO the improvement Of 8 plough.
or TO the structure Of useful imple-
ment in mechanics. he who neither
adds TO the stock Of public virtue, nor

'quence that every young person should
set out with some point OF Importance
in his view, and 10 which he 10 to d.
rect his intellectual energies. And
here IL should be remembered, that in
q very great degree, men become what
they determine to be. do not mean
to say that they can counteract and
prevent the course Of Providence. OF
that all the mad schemes Of ambition
and fraud will be successful; but OBJ
servation will justify the remark. that
as 4 general rnle, men accomplish what
they pursue with q steady, honest, pre-
serving aim.
Calamities and dissppointments will
indeed overtake them. because those
are the allotments Of Wise Ruler, 10

here. IL will usually be seen, that Blu,
for these calamities the results would
have justified the previous calculations

whatever laudable undertaking you
select. and excellence will be yours.
Aim at an honorable and useful posi-.
ton in your country. and that position
you will reach. An ancieht king
Of Sicily was trained potter, and
when he reached his high distinction,
he used TO place vessels OF earthen
ware and others Of gold and silver be-
fore bis courtiers-"Tbese," SAID he,
pointing to the former, II used to make
with industry and care. till by my
strength and valor ! was enabled to
take bold Of the others" pointing to
the richer implements.
Without going 10 antiquity. we
might find, in our own times and in
our own country, no small number Of
cases which an early aim at excellence
has led from the retirement of country
life and humble birth, to the most bon
orable station in the gin of our repub-
lie. TWAS this principle. that was work
ing in the mind Of Franklin, when as
stranger boy. he ate his rolls IN the
streets Of Philadelphia, while he was
without a shelter for his head. II was
no ordinary boyish capnee. the imps-
thence Of control that drove him from
his home, but his mind would not bear
the pressure thrown upon it. His was
lofty mark. and he kept his eye upon
Il with ell the steadiness Of the most
Flooding artisan, and with the GOODNESS
and self-denisl Of q philosopher. He
reached that mark, and q most noble
one il was. His aim was usefulness;
and while virtue. and literature and
science, have friends, the world will
not forget, that il can never pay the
debt that il owes him.

DUEL BETWEEN HAMILTON AND
BURR.

The scene Of the unfortunate meet
ing is often visited by strangers in New
York. IL 10 . small level spot on the
Jersey shore Of the Hudson. which
makes an easy landing place as ysu ap-
proach IL by water. but is surrounded
and rendered almost inaccessible by
high, steep banks. covered by trees and
underbrush. II had been before, and
has since been used for the same ira
gical purpose. and only two years pre-
vious TO this tune. Hamilton's eldest son
had fallen on this very spot. As the
barge which carried General Hamilton
over the river neared the shore, Col.
Burr was seen already on the ground,
ss IL had been before agreed he should
be. He had bis coat of, and was clear
ing away the pathway between che
two points which they would probably
occupy. II was the carly dawn Of u
ine summers morning. Gen. Hsmil-
ton was landed, and the barge ordered
away from the spot. to prevent the men
who worked in Il from seeing what was
TO pass. The gentlemen exchanged
salutations. and their seconds proceeded
10 draw lots for the choice Of ground
aud first FIRE; both of which fell to Gen.
Hamilton. Alter having been inform.
ed that they must give notice when
they were ready, and then wait for the
words one, two. three, they took their
posts atten PAGES distant Soon rs they
intimated thai they were prepared. one
Of the seconds began 10 count. Almost
Immediately al the first word. or before
the full three were counted, Hamilton
pistol went of high in the air. Burr,
waiting for the last word, with steady
aim fired at three. General Hamilton.
slightly raising himself on his toes. fell
forward into the arms Of his second,
who ran TO receive him. There ives a
moment Of confusion. Burr went TO
his fallen rival and looked upon him,
rs was admitted on both sides, with an
expression Of deep sorrow and regret a,
such termination OF what he consi-
dered unavoidable. The barges were
then called up. and he was hurried of
the ground by his second. and convey.
ed back 10 New York. Gen. Hamilton
was carried TO Greenwich. TO the house
OF Mr.. Bayard. He lived till two o.
clock the next day. aud saw two cler.
gymen. the Rev. NJ. Mason aud Bishop
Morse, from the latter Of whom he re-
ceiyed the communion. lie expressed
himself as always opposed 10 duelIing,
and that if God would spare his life, lac
would ever exert his influence against
il. He said that he bore no III will 10
Col. Burr, and that he readily forgsve
him. He died in full possession OF his
senses. and professcd entire faith in The
gospel.
