necessity OF A STEADFAs1
CHARACTER.--The man who is Der.
pertually hesitating which Of two
things he will do first, will do neither.
The man who resolves, but suffers his
resolutions to be changed by the frs
counter-suggestion Of friend, who
fluctuates from op MON TO opinion from
plan to plan, and veers like weather
cock. to every point of the compass,
with every breath Of caprice that blows,
can never accomplish any thing great
or useful. Instead of being progress
sive in any thing, he will be at best sta
tionary, and more probable retrograde
i'll all. 1t is only the man who first
consults wisely, then resolves firmly,
and then executes his purpose with in-
flexible perseverance, undismayed by
those petty difficulties which daunt a
weaker spirit, can advance to eminence
in any line. Let US take. by way OF
Illustration, the case of student. He
com mences the study OF the ID an-
guages; but presently friend comes,
and tells him he is wasting his time,
and that of obsolete words, he had
much better employ himself in acqnir.
ing new ideas. He changes his plan
and sets to work at the mathematics.
Then comes another friend, who asks
N Vim With he g Esys and q sapleRt face ace
lessor in college: because, if he does
not, he is misemplo ying his time, and
that fol the business of life. common
mathematics is quite enough of mathe-
NAUTICAL science. He throws up his
Euclid, and addresses himself to some
other study, which in its turn, is again
relinquished on some equally wise sug-
gestion; and thus is life spent in chang
ing his plans. You cannot but per-
ceive the folly Of this course;and the
worst effect of it is fixing on your mind
a habit of ;ndecision sufficient Of itself
to blast the fairest prospects. No;
take your course wisely, but firmly;
and having taken it, hold on with hero
ic resolution, and the Alps and Pyre-
nees will sink before you; the whole
empire OF learning will lie at your feet,
while those who set out with you, but
stopped TO change Their plan, are yet
employed in the very profitable bust
ness Of changing their plans. Let your
motto be perseverance. Practice up
on it, and you be convinced of its val
ne by the distinguished eminence to
which it will conduct you.

SOLITUDE
Sweet afe the still sequester'd groves.
Where missing melancholy roves,
AT eve unseen
Where musing melaneh6ly rdves,
And pensive contemplation loves
To haunt the green.
The still retreat, The silent glade,
Tho black-bird's song, the wild wood shade
Are dear to me;
Sweet is the mUrmur Of the brook,
And dear the shade of von old oak,
My fav'rite tree.
There. when the village trains at rest,
Refined upon thy peaceful breast,
In musing mood;
Not all the worlds delusive charms,
Shall lure me from thy peaceful arms.
Dear solitude.
Thy walks fair meditation roves,
And ever charming science loves
Thy silent dell.
The muses. court thy sacred shades,
And genius seeks thy silent glsdes.
With thee to dwell.
Divine religions angel form.
Inspiring faith with bosom warm,
And hope serene.
Soft charity and mercy bland,
With feeling heart, and liberal hand,
With thee are seen.
Alone with thee love 10 stray,
Wters rowing fancy leads the way
To worlds unknown;
Where radiant spilit unconined.
Leaving the cumbrous clay behind,
To bliss have Gown
o. letthy halcyOn shades impart
Soft consolation to heart,
BY woe Opprssl'I.
o. dry the fond maternal tear,
And bid me hold communion dear
With spirits blofG
To thee, with each departing day,
The muse shall pour her laureate lay.
In pensive song
while not breath Of passion rude,
Or blighting envy dare Intrude.
Tdy shades amonc,
The moss rose seeks the lowly glade,
Spreads all its beauty to the shade,
And blooms unknown
So On thy bosom ( would rest,
C.ntent If Heaven but make me Blfsf,
Though all alone,
April, 1914.
