we turn our eyes TO the history Of past ages,
we find the scene no less appalling. The

DYED IN TIE WOOL,

The following amusing hit at Mr. Charles J.

minstration, is from speech Of Mr. Dunlop Of

a leading position in the Convenion.-Boston

THE WAY1O MAKE MONEY PLEN
TY IN EVERY MANS POCKET,

AT this time, when the general complaint
is that "money is scarce" il will be an act
of kindness 10 inform the moneyless how
they may reinforce their pockets. I will
acquai int them with the true secret ofmon-
ey catching; the certain way 10 find empty
purses and how to keep them always full
Two simple rules well observed, will do the
business. FIRST, let honesty and industry
be thy constant companions; and, secondly
spend one penny less than thy clear gains.
Then thy empty pocket soon begins to
thrive: and never will again cry with the
empty belly-ache neither will creditors in
suit thee. nor want Cypress, nor hunger
bite, nor freeze thee. The whole hemisphere
will shine brighter, and a pleasure spring
up in every corner OF thy heart.
Now, therefore, embrace these rules and
| be happy. Danish the black winds OF sor-
row from thy mind, and live independent.
Then shall thou be man, and not hide thy
lace at the approach OF the rich; nor suffer
the pain of feeling little when the sons OF
fortune walk at thy right hand for indie
pendence, whether with little or much, is
good fortune, and placeh thee on the even
ground with the proudest of the golden
fleece. o then, be wise and lei industry
walk with thee in the morning. and attend
thee until thou reachest the evening hour
of esi.-Let honesty he as the branch OF
thy soul, and never forget TO have penny,
when all thy expenses are paid then shall
thou reach the point OF happiness, and in
dependence shall be thy shield and bucker,
thy helmet and crown: then shall thy soul
walk upright, nor stoop TO the silken wretch
because he has riches, nor pocket an abuse
because the hand which offers it wears
ring set with diamonds.

The sons of Jacob, sinful men,
Stood before Egypts lord;
And guilt and fear were working there,
Keen as a two edged sword,
Within their bosoms, whilst they thought
of what their bloody hands had wrought.
They thought of Joseph. Conscience til
A horrid, dreadful tale;
And thoughts of hun in slavery sold
Made hardened wretchcs pale.
All, little thought those wretches how
Joseph was Egypt's ruler now.
That ruler seemed a myst'rv he
Seemed cruel harsh, unkind;
Their deep distresses seemed to be
Most pleasing TO his mind.
All, how they plead IN tones Of giel
For favor--for a kind relief.
They tell him Of their father, and
OF oil his grief and tears
How God, with oveiruliug hand
Had stricken him in years,
And took his fav rite child away,
A victim to the beasts Of prey.
All, Nature, thu can'st ne'er deceive
And mon may strive, in vain.
To make themselves indeed be ieve
That falsehood's ways are PLAN.
Strike but the chord that Nature owns,
The vicat wretch will heed its tones.
Joseph refrans no longer;
No more could act his part;
Nor can he longer seem TO be
Unkind IN word or heart.
"Yes, am Joseph! cease to grieve;
But tell me, does my Jlther I've ?"
How could those wrc,chos then but feel
The pangs Of guilt and shame?
Nature then made her last appeal,
Whilst conscience did the same

"War," says Mr. johnson, " has means Of de-
sruction more formidable than the cannon or
the sword. BY incommodious encampmcnts
and unwholosome stations, where courage is
useless and enterprise impracticable, fleets are
silently dispeoplcd, and armies sluggishly mel

sdcred at all hazard of which the nexpe-
rienced youth is little aware, when, at the peri
cd of his enrolment, he calculated the proba-
bililies of his safe return. 1t would be service
able, therefore, 10 dwell little on this point.
In our late war with Great Britain, our loss
is said TO have amounted 10 10000, Of which
the returns OF the killed ia battle formed but
small item. In an estimate of the celebrated
Ncckar, contained in his Reflections on the

The invasion OF Russia by Napoleon furnishes
another, and more striking illustration. "Ten

equippage remained abandoned on the sands,
and great numbers of men subsequently gave

but hundred leagues from the Niemen, and

From these suflcrngs, physical and moral,
from these privalons, from these continual BIZ
