INDUSTRY VS.. HARD TIMES!

The complaints of hard times have become so fi-
miar to our ears, that we began to marvel a few
days ,ince whether there ever was a period when
the times were not hard, and We came 70 the con-
clusion that at every period Of the world people
have always looked forward for letter times We
are well aware tha, there periods Of what is
termed pressure and commercial distress, when mo-
ney is temporarily scarce. But SD long as a people,
we enjoy health-ihe blessings of a free govern.
ment-and an abundance of the necessaries of life
we should not complain ofIhe lim,s. In this coun.
try every man may he considered the architect OF his
own fortune, aud We may safely affirm, that in
nineteen out of twenty cases, where persons un.
successful in their plans, the fault is wholly a,tbu-
table TO want Of industry. economy or pru-
dence.
The great desire Of mixing fortune in a .hort
time, instead Of pursuing the old.fish onedIand al-
most certain way Of acquiring wealth, has been the
ruin Of thousands whose prospects were all that
could have been desired. BY grasping at too much.
like the dog With his shadow we frequently lose all
tha. we have. We have seldom seen a sober, in.
nusrious and prudent young man, possessing ordi
nary intelligence, who has failed to establish him
self well in life. Industry is the main spring of all
our actions. Without, no individual nor commu.
nifty can prosper. Every man is bound to pursue
some business, some lawful calling to which he
should devote his time and attention. The great
Author Of our being has emPhalicslly declared
that by The sweat OF the brow thou shlel earn thy
bread" and the man who spends his time in idle
pursuits, Whatever his circumstances in life may be,
cannot consistently Re good citizen or q christian
As citizen he sets a most persicous example, aud
therefore inheis an injury upon society. Ass ehri.-

Century. .N
A hundred years sgo or more.
Of,arsnge psrversion blind,
Men but,cned up their coats before,
And wore long tsils behind.
These wholly useless parts Of dress,
In this our visor day,
We never use a sIl, unless
To keep the flies away.
by wondrous art we now con;rive
Things on better plan,
Our very clothes become alive,
And form part Of the man.
A dancing dress becomes the beau.
Each turn and motion showing;
The only art he needs to know,
Is just to get dgoing.

Essential aid to draw;
He FIRST must gain suit Of clothes,
Who'd gain suit at law.

Should any sick man need him.
Would first console his minds distress,
And then proceed to bleed him.

In still more numerous cases;
Il does not rtop to improve their dress,
But also mends their faces.
A new cosmetic--wondrous strange!
New beauties brings to view,
And as the various feelings change,
It's colour changes too.
When she would blush, it reddens quite
This sympathetic paint;
And quickly turns to pslest white,
Whene'er the fair would faint.
So blended every softer shade,
Such freshness all alive,
How brightly blooms the lovely maid.

Art finds relief for all your ills,
Ye sick both great and small.
A man that pays the doctors bills,
Needs hardly die at oil.
Your neck is broke-',is surely bad,

But here's tincture to be had,

Drink this will be no worse;
The malady will leave your breast,
And settle on your purse.

And though the brains be wholly gone.
