Opposed to the most able and powerful men that

qucrors, by the brilliant qualities of her mind and
the seductive influence of her charms. She sue
cessiyey subdued julius, enslavcd Antony, and
outwted Augustus. When proclaimed the part

used her power over the hearts of "thc worlds

unnatural kindred she made herself an Independent

nations brought their tributes.
Never was Egypt so rich IN wealth, power, and

BRIEF DISCOURSE,

TEXT" There is way That seemeM rigM 10
a man, out the end hereof" &c.
We hope twill not be deemed sacrgious to
quote here this sublime precauton from the oracles
of divine truth, as a text to discourse from in the
manner which follows, although in aid of subjects
of somewhat a secular nature, apperaning, how
ever, to morality.
1t may seem right to a man-to neglect paying
his debts for the sake offending or specializing up
on his money, but the end thereof is-u bad pay
master.
1t may seem right to n man-to live beyond his
income, but the end thereof Indebtedness and
poverty.
1t may seem right to man-to attempt to live
upon the fashion of the times, but the end thereof
is-dsgusling to all sensible folks, and ruinous to
health, reputation and property.
1t may seem right to man-to attempt to oh
tain a livelihood without industry and economy,
but the end thereof is-hunger aud rags,
1t may seem right to man-to keep constantly
borrowing of his ncighbors, and never willing to
lend, but the end thereof is-very cross neighbors,
1t may seem right TO man--to be always trum-
pc,ing his own fame, but the end thereof s-his
fame don't extend very far.
1t may seem right to man-to trouble himself
very much about his neighbours business, but the
end thereof is nobody believes any thing he says
1t may seem right to a man-to indulge his chill
drcn in every thing, but the end thereof s-his
children will indulge themselves in dishonorng
him.
1t may seem right to a man-to put Off every
Thing that ought to be done to-day until o-norrow,
but the end thereof is-such things are not done at
all.
1t may seem right TO a man-to attempt pleasing
every body, blu, the end thereof is-hc pIcascs no.

1t may seem right to mnn.--to obtain his news
by borrowing and stealing of his neghbors, but the
end thereof is-annoyance to his neghbors, and
fraud upon the printer.
II may seem right to man-to pay every body
before he pays the PRINTER but the end thereof
s-hc pays the most needy last, if he pays him at
all.

EDUCATION OF CHILDREN.

The trumoil ola warm political contest being
nearly al an end, we shall have an opportunity to
devote our leisure moments to our iavorite topic
-.-EpucArloN. Although we have lahorcd in this
field amos, alone for ycars,yet we are by no means
Discouraged; the people will have their eyes open
ed to its vast Importance in due time they will one
day or other perceive that if we would persrve our
republican institutions from the communicating lnilu-
cncc of avarice and political ambition, education
must be universal. They will learn another impor-
tant lesson that present system oil learning at

CHILDHOOD.
How often is the pleasant season oichlldhood turn

ambitious parents who forget the happiness oil their
children in their vain desire 10 them forward in
acquiring knowledge, that they may hear them ad-

wrong but many of the natural guardians OF chill
drcn seem to require line upon line and preccpt
upon prccept before they will be brought to right
reflection. A correspondent of the New York
Mirror among other good remarks on This subject,

The farmer sat in his easy chair,
Smoking his pipe fclay,
While his hale old wife, with busy care, E.'.
Was clearing the dinner away.
A sweet little girl, with tine blue eyes,
On her grand pas knee catching flies.
The old man placed his hand on her head,
With a tear on his wrinkcd face,
lie thought how often her mother dead
Had sat in The same, same place.
As the tear stole down from his halfshu eye,
"Don't smoke" said the child, s. how it makes you
cry"
The housclog lay stretched ont on the floor,
Where the sun, after noon used to steal,
The busy old wife, by the open door,
Was turning the spinning wheel
And the old brass clock on the mnntcltrcc,
Had ploIded along 10 almost ihrccj-
still the farmer sat in his easy chair,
While close to his hcaying breast
The mostcncd brow and the head so fair,
Of his sweet grnnd-child were prest
Ills head, bent down, on her son hair lay
Fast asleep, were they both on tina, summer day!
