The WAY TO GET ON IN THE WORLD
To get on in this world you must be con-
tent to be Away stopping where you are; to
advance, you must bs stationary; to get IN,
you must keep down; following riches is like
following wild geese, and you must crawl az
ter both on your belly, the minute you pop up
your head off they go, whistlng down the
wind, and you see no more of them; il YOU
have not the art sticking by nature, you must
acquire Il by art, put couple Of pounds OF
bird lime upon your Office stool, and sit upon
II; get chain round your leg and tie yourself
TO your counter like a pair of shop scissors;
nail yourself up against the wall of your place
of business. like weasel on barn door, or the
sign of The spread eagle; or what viii do best
OF all, marry an honest, poor girl, without a
penny, and my life for yours if you don't do
business! Never mind what your relations say
about genius, talent, learning, pushing, enter
prise, and such stuff, when they come advising
you of your good, stick up to them for the
loan of sovereign, and if ever you see them
on your side of the street again, skiver me
and welcome; but to do any good i tell you over
and over again, you must be sticker. You
may get fat upon a rock if you never quit
your hold of it.-Blackpood.

THE GENTLEMAN.

What makes the gentleman! The shape
OF the hat, the cut of the coat, and the quality
Of cloth he wears? Oh, how easy then TO
make a gentleman Yes-we can take the
veriest blackguard that walks the street; the
knave, the loafer, the gambler, the debauchee,
and even the robber can be made into a gen.
tleman, by the combined skill and effort of a
batter and tailor. And it does not require
half the time TO do this, that is necessary for
The honest laborer 10 earn his palm Sunday
suit. But suppose those who would become
gentlemen have no money; how can they
obtain the materials and pay for the work p
oh! you may rest easy about that. The ways
and means are the least difficult things 10 get
at, in these days Of unparalleled invention
The men who till the ground, who erect our
buildings, who sail our ships, who make our
clothes, and saw our wood, can never be gen
tlemen, till they forsake these low employ
ments. If they should become gentlemen,
which their means seldom will allow, how
long could they remain soe Not long, for the
very nature of their pursuits would ruin them
IN an hour. What! gentleman with his new
beaver and ten dollar broadcloth, go to work;
u would sink the best fortune in the country
There is, therefore, no such thing as a wor-
king gentlemen.
But is there not capital error in all this 7
Is il not the mock, rather than the real gentle
man, which we have described 1t is not so
easy thing to make gentleman; neither is
il very easy to find one. The real gentleman
is he who pursues some honest employment,
keeps his expenditures within his income, new
er Injuries the feelings OF any one unnecessarily,
uses no deception, always tells the truth, and
minds his own business.

for her immoderate sorrow, coniers upon then
a poetic and moral cast.
THE LITTLE STROUD.
She put on him snow-white shroud,
.r A chaplet on his head
And gathered early primroses
To scatter DER the dead.
She laid him in his little grave,
is ('Twas hard to lay him there,)
While spring was putting forth its flowers
at.g And every thing was fair.
She had lost many children-now
The last of them was gone;
And day and night she sat and wept
Beside the funeral stone.
One midnight while her constant tears
Were falling with the dew,
She heard voice, and 10 her child
Stood by her weeping too.
Ills shroud was damp, his face was white;
rs He said--"I cannot sleep,
Your tears have made my shroud so wet;
Oh, mother, do not weepr'
Oh, love is strong THE mothers heart
Was filled with tender fears;
Oh, love is strong-and for her child
Her grief restrained its tears.
One eve light shone round her bed,
And there she saw him stand
Her infant, in his little shroud,
A taper in his hand.
"Lo! mother see, my shroud is dry,
f, And can sleep once more!'
And beautiful the parting smile
The little infant wore.
And down within the silent grave
He laid his weary head,
And soon the early violets
Grew DER his grassy bed.
The mother went her household ways
Again she knelt in prayer;
H And only asked of heaven its aid
Her heavy lot to bear.

lie who denies it, ifno blinded by anaticism, must
be hypocrite
trust your pamphlet will have wide circulation.
