LINES WRITTEN IN A LADY's ALBUM


 BY JOHN QUINCY ADAMS. To fill thy page, beloved maid,
 Before me Fancy's visions fit, Three damsels offer me their aid,
 AffectiOn-Vanity-and Wit. Peplexed, like Paris, lo-I stand;
 Which to prefer, and which refuse Now dread the task from mortal hand, Between three goddesses to choose! First Wit-a damsel pert and sly,
 On both her rivals casts leer, And beckoning with coquettish eye, Proffers her pen for gibe or geer. Seduced by her enchanting smile,
 I took her pen in spOrtive play. The gipsey laughs at me the while,
 And, tittering, snatches 1t away. Next, Vanity assails my ears
 With simpering whisper soft and slow "Take but my pen-the verse shall flow," She seems to say--so sweet, 30 clear, That all who read shall straight exclaim, How great bard IS lost to hope; And buried beneath vulgar fame,
 At least an Ovid or Pope" Deceivers !-Vanitv and Wit
 No more your painted faces show! Fame, Folly, Falsehood you may fit; The verse on this page must be true. If words, dear Ellen, could express, The wishes in this heart that glow, How they would burn your life to bless, AtecfiOn's pen alone can show!

IS the lot OT humanity. Illness will some- times make you petuient, and disappuint- ment ruffles ile smooiIeSt temper. Guard, l beseech you. with unremitting vigilance, your passions; controlled, they are the genial heat tha; warns Us along the way oI they arc consuming fires. Let your strife be one of respectful attcn- tions, and consolidating conduct. CUliivate, with care, the Kind and gentle affections oi tue heart. Piam, nni, but q. adicate tue thorn that grows im your l,artncr's path. Above all, let no feeling of revenge find harbor in your breast; let the sun never go down nn- der your anger. A kind wnr4-an obli- ging aclion-ifi, i, be in triAing concern, has |, power superior to the harp of David, in calming tue pillows of the soul.
 Revenge is as incompatible with happi- ness as hostile to religion. Let him whose heart is black with malice, and studious of revenge, walk through the fields when clad with verdure or adorned with flowers; to his eyes there is no beauty; the flowers to him cxhale no fragrance. Dark as his soul, nature is robbed in deepest sable. The smile of beauty lights not up his bosom with joy; but tho furies ot hell rage in his breast aud render him as miserable as he would wish the object of his hate.
 But let him lay his hand upon his breast and say" Revenge, cast thee from me 1; Father, forgive me as ] forgive my ene- Mies"-and nature assumes new aud de- lightful garni,ure. Then, indeed, are the mcads verdan, and the flowers fragrant then is the music of groves delightful to his ear, and the smiles of virtuo"s beauty love- ly to his soul.-Charles Msncr.

THE BRIGHT SIDE OF HUMANITY.

There arc good men every where. There are men who are good for goodness sake.
 In obscurity, in retirement, beneath the
 shadow of ten thousand dwellings, scarcely
 known to the world, and never asking to
 be known, there are good men in advcr- sity, in poverty, amid temptations. amid all
 the severity of earthly trials, there are good
 men, whose lives shed brightness upon the
 dark clouds that surround them. Be it true, if we must admit the sad truth, that many
 are wrong, and persist in being wrong; that many are false to every holy trust, and
 Caithless toward every holy affection; that may be estranged from infinite goodness i; InRI WSuny SOaas, s~sGss., ...'j s.oa"ay scnsual-yes, cold aud dead to every thing that is not wrapped up in their own little earthly interest, or more darkly wrapped up in the veil of fleshly capacities. Be it so but I thank God, that it is not all that we are obliged to believe. No there are true hearts, amid the ,hrong of the false and the faishless. There are warm and generous hearts, which the cold atmosphere of surrounding selfishness never chills; and eyes unused to weep for personal sorrow. which often overflow with sympathy for the sorrows of others. Yes, there are good men, and true men; thank them; l bless them for what they are. God, from on high, doth bless them, and he give,h his angels charge to keep them; aud now here in the holy record are these words more precious or strong than those in which it is written God love;h the righteous ones. Such men are there. Le. not their pre- cious virtues be distrusted. As surely and as evidently as some men have obeyed the calls ofambition and pleasure, so surely and so evidently have other men opened the voice of conciencc, and "chosen rather to suffer with the people of God than 10 enjoy the pleasure of sin for a season." Why. every meek man suffers in conflict kecncr far than the contest for honor and applause. And there are such men, who, amid injury and insult, and misconstruction, and the pointed finger. and the scornful lip of pride stand firm in their integrity and allegiance to loliicr principle, and still their .hrob- bing hearts in prayer, and hush them to the gentle motions of kindness aud pity. Such witnesses there are in this bad world: signs that rcdeeming work is going forward a. mid its derelictiOns; proofs that tt is not world forsakcn of heaven pledges that !
 will not be forsaken; that cheer and toucl every good and tl'oug hlfnl miDd, beyond al other power Of earth to penetrate and cn. kindlc it.-PRoTEssOR DEWEY.

on dividing the last of the commandments, they should call the first half, l-2, and the second half, 0lh. That is what they ought to do. That would be acting hou- estly, for they know they have left out one of the Lords ten. They know that the Lord gave ten commandments, and they acknowledge only nine of them. It is a mean device to divide one of the nine and then say they acknowledge ten. The Cath olics know that the commandments, as they are in many of their catechisms, are not as they were written with the finger of God ",. the tables of stone. They know tlla, one is wanting, and why it is they know. They had better take care how they do such things, for the Lord is jealous God.
 Indeed the Catholics are sorry for what they have done in this mat,er. It has turned out a bad speculation. This rcd"c- ton of the law of God one-ten'h, has led to the opening of many eyes. They would never do the like again. And as proof of their repentance, they have restored the second commandment in many cases: they can shew you great many catechisms and books in which it is found. had supposed that the omission existed now only in the casechisms published and used in Ireland until I heard of tho Philadelphia Manual. They had better repent thoroughly, and restore the commandment in all its pubsi- cations. And think it would not be amiss for them to confess that for once they had been fallible that in the matter of mu,ila' ting the Decalogue, they could and did err If they will afford US that evidence of re. pentance, we will forgive them, and we will say no more about it. We know it is a sore subject with them they don't know how to ge, along with il. When one asks them, !" How came you Co leave out the second commandment 2" if they say, Why, we have not left it out of all our books." The other replies, [" But why do you leave i, out of any 2" and there the conversation ends. Echo is the only respondent, and she but repeats the question, " Why !"

DUTIES OF MASTERS TO APPRENTICES.


 The following capital remarks on this subject are from late charge to the Grand Jury of :.is Court, by the Recorder of Philadelphia. The neglect of the man ners and morals of apprentices is undoubt- edly among the leading causes of the in- crease of vice aud crime in our day, aud the subject is here we'll presented:
 Apprenticeship is term of probation; and should be made the scene of vigorous exer,ion and moral study. When therefore we see the corner of our streets beset after the night fall of each evening by crowds of idlers, we cannot but regret the care- lessness of the master, and the danger oi the apprentice. When every moment that is exempt from labor is devoted to studied idleness, among ignorant and depraved companions, we cannot wonder that worth. less habits should ensue. The gathered bands remove, in process of time, to tue door of the tavern. Their jests are soon pointed with ribald obscenity, and their language swelled with boas.Iul profanity, until citizens shrink and shudder as they pass. TIIe bvrr houeo "r tho hr"ih"' nex' becomes the scene of their misspcnt hours. Their Sabbaths and evenings are passed a- mid debauchery and vice; and they return each morning cniecbled & disgusted to their labor. Thus they wear out their term ot service. Their minds arc left to ignorance, and their manners to debasement. They become men with minds and bodies dis eased; without industry, ambition. or char ac,or; and gradually sink into shar class from which the dockets of our courts, and the cells of our prisons are filled. The causes of these evils are no doubt msni- fold. There are, and necessarily must be- in a crowded city, many resources ot de- moraliza,ion. But as the law gives the master the poVer to protect the morals ol his apprentice, it makes it also bis d"tw-a dutv from which nothing can excuse l'in,. The man who takes an apprentice, vol uu,srily assumes towards him the relation of a father. Such is the light in which the law regards the master and apprentice.- Humanity also dictates that im removing a c!ild from his parental roof, the master should supply the place of a parent, instruct and guide his inexperience, and watch and protect him as a child. Sucha course wouIt not only render the apprentice an orna'nen to society, but would 6ll his bosoo, will gratitude to his master, and naturally ln spire him with desire to repay the kind ness of his beneiactor. No master shoul' take an apprentice unless prepared to dis charge these duties. .... ..-..
