FRIEND HUNTING.
BY KIRKE WHITE.

OF all the notifications and anXeties to
which mankind Voluntarily subject them
selves from the expectation of future bene-
fit, none more CALLING, none more insnpport-
nble than those attendant on Matchmaking.
Show a man that you court his society, ana
it is a signal for him TO treat you with neg
lect and contumely; hulnonr his passions,
aud he di>pises you as a syc"phant; pay
implicit Difference to his opinions, and lie
laughs at you for your folly; i'll all he views
you with contempt, as the creature of his
will, and the slave Of his caprice.
To this resolution, believe | shall al
ways adhere-if am destined to make
any progress in the world, it will be by my
own individual exertions. As elbow my
way through the crowded vale Of life, /
will never, in any emergency, call on my
selfish neighbors for assistance. If my
strength give way beneath the pressure of
calamity, shall sink without lis whine
of hypocritical coincidence; and if | do
sink, IL, him kick me into ditch and go
about his business | asked not his assis.
lance while living, it will be Of no service
70 me when dead. Believe me, reader,
whoever thou mayest be, there are few
among mor,als, whose friendship, when
acquired, will repay thee for the meanness
OF solicitation. If man voluntarily holds
out his hand to thee, take il with caution.
II thou fluid him honest, be not backward
70 receive his proffeted assistance, and be
anxious, when occasion shall require, to
yield to him thine own. A real friend is
the most valuable blessing a man can pos
sess, and mark me, it is by far the most
rare. 1t is black swan. But whatever
thou mayest do, solicit not friendship. II
thou art young, and wouldst make thy way
in the world, bind myself seven years
apprentice to a city tallow-chandler, and
thou mayes, in time come to be lord may
or. Many people have made their fer
tunes al a tailor's board. Periwig makers
have been known to buy their country seats,
and beiows.menders have started their cur
ricles; but seldom, very seldom has the man
who placed his dependence on the friend
shin of his fellow men, arrived at even tine
shadow of the honors to which, through
that medium. he a>pired. Nay. even il
thou shoudest find friend ready to lend
thee helping hand, the moment, by his
assistance, thou hast gained some little EN-
ipence, he will he the first 10 hutl thee
down TO thy primitive, and now perhaps
itrcsnediable obscusity.

Bed-Bugs. The following fact in Natu-
raj History fiom the New York Sun, is
worthy the attention Of all who wish to
study cleanliness and comfort. That dis
gushing aad very annoying insect, the bid
bug. Is one of the most prolific in cxistpnce.
The female lays about 50 eggs at atm. !;
these eggs are whi:e, aud are at first W.
cred wnh viscous matter, which aer-
wards hardens, aud fixes them wherever
they are laid. The young bugs c"rne forth
in about three weeks. The usual tine
TINT the female lays the eggs are March,
May. July and September. Two hundred
young our, are produced from every female
in every year. Thus II may b. seen what
numerous increase there is of these dis
gushing vrrmin, if proper care is not taken
tn destroy them.
