RETROSPECT AND REALITY.

In rejecting on Mr.. Tyler's political course
and present position, the mind Involuntary
compares the high and honorable place which
he enjoyed few months since in the conf
dence and affections of the whig party, with
that which he now occupies. Then he was
respected, trusted and esteemed; nOO he is
feared, doubted and distrusted. How humi-
liating the contrast! how painful his position!
How dark and dubious his prospects And
TO whom must this change be ascribed, save
only TO himself? His bank vetOes, coupled
with circumstances which the documents
now before the public prove to be indications
of backsliding, fckleness and instability ,have
thrown the party that supported him into
confusion, and have called forth the exeCra-
tons Of nearly all his former friends. Ii
matters not with what Interior intentions
these interdicts upon the popular will were
| f:amed-whether their object was TO enable
him to attach to himself q third party, and
strive for reelection, or whether they origi-
mated from the weak and wanton caprice OF
a soul agitated by sentiments Of personal hos
ltilitv, the act was fatal, and its effects equally
disastrous.
What has he gained by his vetoes! He ha;
not won favor of locofocoisnr; for while ap
plauding the act, they disclaim lis author
They have deliberately declared their deter
mination never 10 coalesce with the Execu
tive who signed the bills repeating the Sub
Treasury, and providing for the distribution
of the public lands. Forty vetOes would no

party which elected him. As wings, the.

EXCELLENT ADYICE.

Set Value on the smallest ROrseI Of
nOtCledge.-These fragments are the dust
of diamonds. OF these fragments the mass
of learning is composed. ''It is true,' as
poor Richard says, +" there Is much to be
done, and perhaps you are weak-handed,
but stick to it steadily, and you will see
great effects, for constant dropping wears
away stones; and by diligence and patience,
the mouse ate into the cable; and little
strokes fell great oaks" A man may learR
that in two minutes which may be valuable
to him all his life. Even if you see no use
in the thing learned, do not despise it,
Learn all you can, and you will live to see
its value. Never let slip an opportunity Of
gaining new idea. And remember that
the beginnings Of the most sublime sciences
are often SO simple as TO seem worthless,
Redeem Tine for StUdy.-The busiest
workman can spare some moments lfyOu

value of moments. Great altainments have

Their you work or play, do 1t in earnest, but

and indOlent people lose much Of life in
thinking what they shall do next. Always
have book within reach, which you may
catch up at your odd minutes. II is incre-
dible, until trial is made, how much real
knowledge may be acquired in these broken
scraps of time. Resolve to edge in little
reading every day, if il is but sentence.
The man who pursues this method will in.
fallibly become learned. Take little time
from each end Of your nights rest If you
