Power OF VIRTUE.-If a young man would
win TO himself the hearts of the wise and brave,
and is ambitious of being the guide and leader OF
them, let him be assured that his virtue will give
power, and power will consolidate and maintain
virtue. Let him never then squander away tue
inestnable powers of youth in tangled or trifiing
disquisitions, with such as perhaps have an inter-
est in perverting or unsettlng his opinions, and
who speculate into his sleeping thoughts and dan
die his nascent passions; but let him start from
them with alacrity, and walk forth with frmness
let him early take an interest in the business and
concerns of men, and let him, ne goes along,
look steadfastly the statues of those who have
benefited his country, and make with himself u
solemn compact stand hereafter among them.

The bill proposes an important change in thisrespect

strued to blind assent, and upon this supposition
change might be made destructive Of the best inter-

stances beneath them, are compartments
filed with hieroglyphics. figures and
sculptures work in basrelier, over a dia-
mond lattice OF groundwork, intersperced
with chaste and unique borders of the
most skilldl and elaborate workmanship.
The door-ways are nearly q square of
about seven feet. somewhat resembling the
Egyptian style in their proportions. The
sides consist of large pieces of hewn stone.
In some instances the lintels are compo-
sed of the same, with hierogliphics. and
lines carved upon them. Stone rings and
holes at the side of the door.ways render
it evident that doors once swung upon
them. Zuporliwood was used for lintels
and thwart beams, some Of which are still
in good preservation, with lines of carving
upon their surfaces. The walls show no
marks of plaster; the inner surface how
ever has coat of stuco, upon which CO.
lors are laid in iresco, of which sky-blue
and light green are the most prominent.
Figures of Indian character can also be
family traced upon the walls. Columns,
capitals and plinlhs, with many other evil
dences of large and splendid ediiices, are
found scattered over the immense plain.
Portions OF two pillars now remain at the
eastern end Of an edifce which occupies
a space of ground nearly as large as that
of Trinity Church-yard in the city of New
York. Speculation upon the origin OF
these ruins | leave TO others. The sub
Jet is one that should excite the deepest
interest in the minds of Americans. 1t is
as yet wrapped in profound MYSTERY,
which it will doubtless require many
years of laborious research to unfold.
