ACQUAINTANCE.
One Of the most important concerns
of young people is, the management Of
themselves in respect to what are called
acquaintance" To have many friends
is desirable, in world where men are
generally thrown SO much upon their
own resources. But there is a distinct
ion between the friendship of a cartain
number of respectable persons, who
are only ready to exert themselves for
US when called upon, and the acquain-
lance of circle of contemporaries,
who are perpetually forcing themselves
upon our company for the mere pur-
pose of mutual amusement. Taking
the words in their usual Specification,
a young man ought to wish for many
friends, but few acquaintance. There
is something in the counteance Of a
companion that cheers and supports the
frailty Of human nature. One can
speak & act more boldly with friend
by his side, than alone. But it is the
good fortune of men of strong charac-
ter, and it ought to be the object of
every one, to act well and boldly by
himself. One thing young people may
be assured Of: almost all the great SER
vices which enlightened men have done
for their race, were performed alone.
There was but one man, not two, at
the discovery of the compass, of the
Copernican system, of the logarithms,
and of the principle Of vaccination.
To descend to lesser things, ask any
man who has risen in worldly fortune,
from small beginnings to great wealth
and honor, how he contrjved to do so
and you will find that he carved it all
out for himself with his own hand.
He viii, in all probability, inform you,
that he has reached the honorable sta.
ton in society which he now main
tains, chiefly by narrowing the circle
