THE AMERICAN BOY.
"Father, look up and see that flag,
How gracefully it flies!
Those pretty stripes they seem to be
As rainbuWs in the skies"
at is your country's flag my son,
And proudly drinks the light
Ger oceans waves in foreign chimes,
A symbol of our might"
'Father, what fearful noise is that,
Like laundering ofIhe clouds:
Why do the people wave their hats,
And rush along in crowds!"
"lt is the noise of cannon,
The glad shouts Of thefree;
This is a day to memory dear,
IT'S freedoms jubilee"
ii wishthat was now man,
I'D fire my cannon too,
And cheer as loudly as the rest
But father. why don't yOu!"
aim getting old and weak, but still
My heart is big with joy;
I've witnessed many day like this
Shout you aloud, my boy"
"Hurrah for freedoms jubilee!
God bless our. native land;
And may live to hold the sword
Offreedom in my hand"
"Well done my boy-grow up and love
The land that gave you birth;
A home where freedom loves to dwell
Is paradise on earth"

PURSUIT. OF WEALTH. Y

This insane and Unsuitable passion fol
accommodation, ever ready when circun.
stances favor, to sieze upon the public
mind, is that love of money which is. the
root of all evil-that covetousness which
is idolatry. 1t springs from an idoiatrous
estimate Of the value of property. Many
are feeling that nothing will do for them or
their children but wealth; not a good cha
racter, not well trained or well exerted
faculties, nor virtue, nor the hope of hea-
ven-nothing but wealth. tits their god,
and the god of their families Their soas
are growing up TO the same worship efil
and to an equally baneful reliance upon
it for the future; they are rushing into
expenses which the divided properly of
their fathers house will not enable them.io
sustain; and they are preparing to be, in
turn and from necessity, slaves to the
Same idol. How truly lis It written, s;they
that will be rich, fall into temptation and
a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful
lusts, which drown men in destruction
and perdilion. There is no need that
they should be rich; but they will be rich.
All the noblest functions of life may be
discharged without veal h, all its highest
honors obtained, an its purest pleasures
enjoyed; yet repeat it-nothing-noth-
ing will do but wealth. Disappoint a man
ofthis, and he mourns as If the highest end
Of life were defeated. Strip him of this
and this gone, all IS gone. Strip him of
this, and shall point to no unheard Of
experience, when we say-he had rather
die than live.

PROVERBS.

A white glove often conceals dirty
hand. The remedy for injuries is not to
remember them. Be friend to yourself
and others will. Go into the country to
hearthe news OF the town. Be not a ba-
ker if your head is made Of butter. Call
me cousin but cozen me not. Faint
praise is disparagement. Ask thy purse
what thou sbouldst buy. Zeal without
knowledge is like fire without light.
Youth and white paper soon take on i'm
preston. Vows made IN storms are for
gotten in Gains. The church is out Of
temper when charity is cold and zeal IS
ho.. The sting of reproacb is the truth
oft. Envy shoots at others and wounds
herself. A goosequill is more dangerous
than u lions claw. Beware Of a silent
dog and a wet rat. rrfa ~ -

And al that sinners can impart.

For when affections fame is dim,

Our blessed Saviour bless'd the cup.
With accents and with lips divine,
On the last night he deigned to sup
And quaf the juice Of Judea's vine.
And promised each believer then
To drink neaO loine with him anon,
In his own Fathers kingdom, when
His work was done and he was gone.
Lord, accept the invitation,
Given so sOlemnly to an

And humbly at thy fOotstool fall.

For Scripture language is divine;
And Canals marriage guests could view,
That wine is love, and love is wine!

THE LAWS OF MISSISSIPPI.
Es AV, being the rule of action pre-
Ed scribcd by the supreme power ofthe
State, commanding what's right, and prohi-
biting what is wrong, an acquaintance with
its provisions is desirable to the scholar,
tue legislator, the planter and mechanic,
as well as the lawyer by profession. All
classes of society, in a republican govern
ment, Ike our own, dependent, for the per-
petuity of its institutions, alone on an ca
lightehed public sentiment, require some
knowledge of.their legal cnactments, upon
which their lives, liberties, ard their for
tunes depend.
Tue Laws Of Mississippi, of a general
nature as enacted BY her successive Iegis-
latuFes, lie scattered in numerous volumes,
buried under mass OF private acts, OF inn
portance to those alone who are directly
interested in their provisions, and offering
by their bulk, and want of arrangement,
an almost insuperable barrier to that gene
raj dissemination oftheircontents, amongst
the great mass of the people, which their
Importance would seem to require.
