Danger OF being too Good.

elbow or by what accident they escaped
from the Mint, was never known, but GER
tain il is, that one hundred gniheas of pure
gold, without the least alloy, were once upon
a time issued to the world. Old Gregory
Muckly, by chance, obtained half-a-dozen
pieces of this coin, which, together with a
few other pieces, were carefully boarded in
a worsted stocking; and when Gregory was
safely deposited in churchyard clay, they
became the rightful property of his son
Hodge.
Hodge vas a simple, honest creature;
caring nothing for the pOmps of the world;
"The sum OF ell his vanity, to deck
With one bright bell some fay'rte heifer's neck''
Business, however, brought him TO- London.
Well, before he returned to Cannon Farm,
be would purchase London present-a bran
new scarlet shawl for sister Suke. Two
guineas did Hodge, with fraternal self com.
placency, set apart for this gift. Caught by
the truthful assurance exhibited in a mer-
GERS window that the stock was selling of
under prime cost Hodge thought he was
sure of at least three guinea shawl for two
Hercupon. he entered the shop; rolled his
eyes from side 10 side, seeking the radiant
present for sister Suke.
"Have you nice, bran new scarlet shawl
for two guineas2" asked Hodge.
"Sir," replied the shopkeeper, 'you come
at lucky moment; we have the most deli
! cious article-thc most wonderful scarlet.
TO any body else, sir, it would be three gui-
meas aud half; but as you have frequently
been a customer to us"-

Il beg your pardon, sir; humbly beg your
pardon-another gentleman like you,n said
the tFadesman.

"Nay, nay, not SO, cried Hodge; s'an

POLITICAL.
Mr.. Clay.

The Alexandria ID. CD Gazette, says
'sAmid all the turmoil and contention Of
political parties and factions, it gives US great
pleasure to observe that the friends Of Henry
Clay continue firm and united, and grow
more determined and jealous every day
The - look uaon their candidate as superior
in his abilities for government to any UIuvi
man whose name has been mentioned; and
they are confident that his measures and
policy would bring relief & prosperity to the
country, as far as they could possibly have
an influence upon the concerns of the peo-
pie. Henry Clay is their man for President
before every body else. The statesman, the
orator. the patriot, is their pride and their
boast. They can do justice 70 hercitizens,
and wish to detract from the merits of none;
but they regard Henry ClaY's claims as para
mount for next President.

FedllOn Of their own fate. Youth Is the
prdper season likewise, for cultivafing the
humane and benevolent affections, and Of
sEigagating and training the passions; for
whatever impressions are made on the mind
in youth will generally be more permanent
in subsequent life. Whatever may be the
situation in life, nothing can be more neces-
sary 10 peace and happiness than the ac-
quirement ofyirtuous dispositions and habits
These in part may be acquired by reading
biography, for By observation and reflection
upon others, we begin an early acquaintance
with human nature, extend our moral world,
and are enabled 10 acquire such habit of
disceTnment and correctness of judgment
as others only can obtain by experience.
A frequent association with good compa-
ny is essential 10 give an elegance Of man
ners, and thereby add 10 mental excellence.
But company, without mental improvement,
cannot give the value and intetest to indi-
viduals, which is 50 desirable; il alone can
render them good companions, good parents
and good citizens. The one IS useful to us
only in the higher walks of life; the otheI
will be treasure to US, even il our loi
should place Us ID the earih-built cottage Of
the forest.
"But oh! where both their charms unite,
How perfect is The view,
With every image of delight,
And graces ever new"
| When females have it in their power the.
10 adorn themselves, and increase their owl
worth and happiness, how careful shoulC
they be TO improve each opportunity to th'
best advantage, and how justly in after life
may they censure themselves, if they sufe
the golden hours of youth to pass unimpro
we'd. No remark can be more true, thai
that the only way TO charm long, is TO secur
mental improvement. Mere personal beaut
Imay, fascinste the inconsiderate for day
but like the ephemeral flower it fades, an
leaves none of its former delights; Will
beauty Of mind increases with age, and wi
be bright in the evening of life, when q
TRANSIENT beauties have passed away.
