rEYT For YOUNG MEN.

A better subject for young men 10 dis
course about and to mediate upon was
never written than the follow ing by Swift,
mo man ever made an i'll figure who I'M
derstood his talents, nor a good one who
mistook them"
Young men do not fail in the pursuits
of life because they lack ability and cour-
age TO succeed, half az often as from a
inisdirection of talents. A right Use of
moderate capacity will accomplish much
more than a wrong application Of the most
brilliant qualification. Study therefore
yourself. Aim TO find out the actual tall
ents you possess, and then endeavor 10
make tie besl possible use Of them, and
you can hardly come short of making a
good figure in the world; and what is
more, being one among those who live not
in vain. tsf

HUMBLE VIRTUE.

There is h spot of earth,
A rough, secluded dell,
Where once a fow'r of modest worth,
Did spring to lie and dwell;
And as | CHANGED TO wander by.
! marked it with admiring eye.
No parnrerer's caress
That flower ever Knew,
There, in that low and hidden place,
Ii had its birth and grew;
|Ye, Fashions most luxuriani bow'r
Gould never boast a o,elier flow r.
Few saw its beauteous aye,
Few knew lis fragrance rare,
Tho still perchance some pas,er-hy
A kindly glance might spare!
While many passed in silence ty
Unheedinely and cold-yet why?
Why was ilsrlch perfume
There wasted all unknown?
Say, wherefore did it bud aud Lloom
Uhcared for and alone?
An, praised had been its scent and hue,
But for The iow place wherc ii grew!
Full many a good doth rise
That meets but cold neglect
The false world smiles III p~ampered vice,
With gold and pow bedeck'd
Alas and courts its glitering place,
But scowls in humble virtues face.
