THE FOLLY OFPRlDE.

The following thoughts will receive spe.
cial attention when the reader is aware
that they are from that now mnch written
about and talked of man, Rev. Sydney
Smith:
After all; take some quiet, sober moment
OF life and add together the two ideas Of
pride and ofman, behold him the creature
of span high stalking through the infinite
space, in all the grandeur Of lttleness.--
Perched on speck of the universe, every
wind of heaven strike into his blood the
chill Of death; his soul floats from his bod Y
like melody from the string; day and night
as dust on the wheel, he is rolled along
the heavens, through a labarinth of wo rlds
and all he creations or Godtare flaming
above and beneath. Js this creature to
make to himself crown Of glory; to deny
his own flesh, and TO mock at his fellow
sprung from that dust to which both will
soon return! Does the proud man not
err! Does he not die. When he reasons,
is he never stopped by difficulties! When
he acts lie is never tempted by pleasure?
When he lives is he free from pain! p ride
is not the heritage of man: humanity
should dwell with frailty, and atone for
ignorance, error and imperfection.

ANTIQUITIES.

We saw yesterday,a a Philadelphia di.
rectory, published by Francis White Just
sixty years ago, Thought but day in
the age of nations, the period which has
since elapsed, has marked many changes
in our fair city. Not only its size and
wealth, but its progress in the useful arts,
have made rapid strides towards the goal
Gifts destiny. We can imagine tie sur
prise with which the publisher of this re
lie would have heard a prediction even
limiting at the manner in Which his own
art is new applied. Thinking of these
things, we turned to the F's Of course, and
found the first line running thus:--
'Franklin, his excellency, president oi
Pennsy lvania, Market Street
However varied and striking the i'm.
provements in printing, and the achieve
ments Of science, the order of nature and
the works of God have known no change

sleeps with few parallels 10 the grave
and few above it.
A little further on, and among the
names which are now only known in con.
nection with the streets, lanes, and by
places which they denote, we found The
following'--
Fulton, Robert, Miniature painter,
corner Of Second and Walnut Streets
We learn, on inquiry, for we were real
ly at default in the matter, that this was
the veritable Robert, whose early and
novel freaks of genius, have not only sur-
vived him, but will ou,live ua all. The
locomotive palaces upon the Delaware,
the Hudson, and Mississippi, and evenup.
the ocean, are so many monuments TO his
worth and types ofhis fame.
We like the penchant which some good
people have for boarding up these old re-
lies. In moments which might be less
probably spent, they call TO mind our
infancy as a people, and gladden. US at our
progress. .--PennsyluaniaH.

o. A correspondent Of tho Boston po

ITT A correspondent Of tho Boston Po
in note to the editor, thus speaks Of tho
lecture delivered in that city by Gen. Cass.
"The Lecture of Gen. Cass before the Mer-
camille Library Association, the outlines Of
which were so well sketchod in your notice
of it. was distinguished BY one Characteristic
which was not less commendable than It'd
high literary merit mean the sentiment
that ran through the whole; of regarding the
PROCESS of society with reference to the peo.
pie, and not to the elevated few. The con.
trast between ancient and modern society, in
this respect, was drawn with the yigor Of
mind that had taken tho survey of human
progress as whole, and not in detached por.
tions of splendid wealth and magnificent art
erected upon the surrounding ruin of an i'm
poverished and overtaskod people.
"Without the slightest allusion 10 political
or party tendencies, the great merit of the
lecture was, that it was thoroughly American
and purely republican In every sentiment and
illustration. One Of these illustrations aptly
conveyed the meaning which the author at
sributed to true progress in society. Speak
ing of the splendor Of the mobiles and the
destitutlon of the people of Rome in the reign
of Augustus, he SAID that it was the boast of
that emperor that he had found Rome of brick
and would leave her of marble; but he would
rather be the author of the sentiment of Hem
ry 4th of France, who wished that he could
so rule that every peasant nigh have fowl
in his pot Of a Sunday
