chants should cross such seas to add TO
their stores, and youths not trverse the
earth for what will improve their
minds"
The eagerness for knowledge and
the zeal in its diffusion which distin-
gnishes our age by no means robs the
above sentiment of its present applica-
ton. How much Of the ruling thirst
for information is feverish thirst for
novelty? How little does il partake
Of the calm, deliberate appetite,-,he
reasonable, solemn determination, the
steady onward course, which char
aeterise the Legitimate aspirants for
wisdom! How sensible must the phi
losophic observer Of the times ieel the
want Of a just rnd manly literary and
scientific spirit among the mass of
devotees at the temple of Mineral
When such spirit is rife, the path Of
acquisition, however rugged in itself,
is environed with attractive and en-
couraging influences.
Exercise supremacy over those
things oy which is base for the soul
to be governed-gain, anger, pleasure
and grief. You will thus be in the
case of gain, ifyou think that TO be
gain by which you acquire glory, and
not that by which you augment your
possessions; and as to anger, ifyou con-
duct towards those offending, as you
would deem il worthy for others 10
conduct towards you, having offended;
and in relation TO enjoyments, il you,
ruling your slave. will think it dis
graceful TO be enslaved by pleasure;
as regards grief, if you will observe
the trials of others, also, and consider
yourself. remembering that you are

Something like Shakespeare advice
relating to quarrel. "Bewarc," says
Polonius to Laertse, "of Entrance to
quarrel, being in, bear It that the OPP
pressor may be aware of thee" And
yet equally just are the precepts.-
How easy to form an intimacy! How
difficult to break it off without crea-
ting an enemy! How morally imperi-
ous the duty of loyalty TO friend!
"Judge of friends in the suffering'
Of life and their behavior in danger;

FROM GEORGIA.

The Democratic journals in Georgia are
breaking ground in favor Of President Tyler.
We cal attention to the following from the
Georgia Constitutionalist:
1--WE have been asked, Of late, verbally and nv
letters, whether we would support President TYLER
for the Presidency, should he be nominated by the
Democratic Conycntionl We unhesitatngly replv
that we would. We censured the course pur. ned b,
that distinguished gentleman before and during ne
campaign Of 1910, he had connected himself viii
the Wings, though his principles were Numerically
opposite to those Of his new associates he was nopn
mated and elected by the Wings ali this was snc
hccnt for us to oppose him, and when by the death
Of Gen. Harrison, he became President. we natural
ly concluded that Wing principles would nre6oui

him, nor to any other person, for nc or a point of
the articles referred TO. Whatever their merit. or
dement's, whether Of fact reasoning, they belong
alone to the Editors Of this paper"
IL IL true that the editors are not "indeJf,oy,
to Mr. Webster, for "a line or point of the ar

not indebted for them, for The editors conferred
the favor. The bubble about a single " line y
