The abrup'ness and impetuosi,y with
which he spoke, seemed the effect Of feel.
ngs which he could not repress. Lucy
was so surprised, SO confused, that she was
obliged to lean on his arm for support; so
there was no opportunity for her to show
much anger at his presumption. Roger
soon forgot that he had ever been poor and
shoemaker. The first consciousness Of
being beloved, seems to Il young man as
the GROWING point Of his ambition. He
feels elevated for he las secured the en,-

Roger walked into the parIor Of Squire

asked consent that very evening.

SIR WALTER SCoTr's ADVICE TO MS
SON." cannot too much impress upon
your mind, that labor is tho conditions
Which God has imposed on us in every ,
station 10 life. There is nothing worth
haying that can be had without il. from tho
bread which tive peasant wins with the
swca. OF his brow, to the spsr.s BY which
tho rich man must got rid Of his ef,nuii.
Tue only difference between them is, that
the poor man labors to get dinner 10 his
appcIite,-the rich man, TO get an appe,ito
to his dinner. As for knowledpc. il can no
more be planted in the human mind with.
out labor, than the field Of wheat can DO
produced without the previous use Of the
plough. There is indeed, this difference,
that chance or circumstances may so cause
it, that another shall reap wha. the farmer
sows! but no nan can be deprived. wheth-
er BY accident or by misfortune, of ,hs
fruits Of his own studies; and the liberal
and extended acquisitions Of knowledge
which he makes, are all for his own use.
Labor, my dear boy, therefore, and i'm
prove the time. In youth our steps are
ligh. and duc,le, and knowledge is easily
laid up. But il VIC neglect our spring, our
summer will he useless and coniempiibIc,
our harvest will DO chafr, aud the winter
