one who entered largely into their specula-

''he's dead Fl" The intelligence is received
with an exclamation Of surprise-a sgnif-

FRIEND SHIP.

Ina young minds there is commonly a
strong propensity to particular intiInacies
and friendships. Youth, indeed, is the sea
son when friendships are sometimes formed,
which not onl y continue through succeed
ing life, but which glow TO the last, with a
tenderness unknown to the connexions be.
gun in cooler years. The propensity, there
fore, is not TO be discouraged, though, at
the same time, it must be regulated with
much circumspection and care.
Too many of the pretended friendships
of youth are mere combinations in pleasure
They are often founded on caprcious likings,
suddenly contracted, and as suddenly dis
solved. Sometimes they are the effect of
interested complaisance and fattery on the
one side, and Of credulous fondness on the
other. Such rash and dangerous connex,
ions should be avoided, lest they afterwards
load lis with dishonor.
We should ever have it fixed in our
memories, that by the character of those
whom We choose for our friends, our own
is likely to be formed, and will certainly
be Judged of by the world. We ought,
therefore, to be slow and cautious in con
tracing intimacy but when virtuous
friendship is once established, we must ever
consider it as sacred engagement.

GOOD SENSE

WHAT We call good sense in the con-
duct Of life, consists chiefly in that temper
of mind which enables its possessor to view
at all times, with perfect GOODNESS and ac-
curacy, all the various circumstances of his
situation; so that each of them NAV produce
its due impression on him, without any ex-
aggeration arising from his own peculiar
habits But to a man of an ill-regulated
imagination, external circumstances only
serve as hints to excite his own thoughts,
and the conduct he pursues has in general
far less reference to his real situation, than
to some imaginary one, in which he con
ceives himself to be placed; in consequence
Of which, while he appears to himself to be
acting with the most perfect wisdom and
consistency, he may frequently exhibit to
others all the appearances of folly.

Economy is one of the chief duties of a
state, as well as of an individual. 1t is
not only great virtue in itself. but it is
the parent of many others. 1t preserves
men and nations from the commission of
crime and the endurance of misery. The
man that lives within his income can be
Just, humane, charitable, and independent.
He who lives beyond it becomes, almost
necessarily, rapacious, mean, faithless, con-
temptible. The economist is easy and
comfortable; the prodigal harassed with
debts, and unable to obtain the necessary
means Of life. So it is with nations. Ma
tional character, as well as national happi-
ness, has, from the beginning Of the world
to the present. day, been sacrificed on the
laltar Of profiHion.-Spectator's Key.

Though the goodness of mans heart
did not incline him to acts of charity, one
would think the desire of honour should.

clothes, pictures, and other such like arti-

an ambition TO be respected above other
people, would not one great act of charity,
one instance of redeeming a poor family
