A TEXT FOR YoUNG Men "A better
subject for young men to discourse about,
and to mediate upon, was never written
than the following, by Swift mo man
ever made an i'll figure who understood
his own talents, nor good one who mis-
took them"
Young men do not fail in the pursuits
Of life because they lack ability to sue
coed, half IS often as from a misdirection
of talents A right use of moderate ca
pacity will accomplish much more than a
wrong application of the most brilliant
qualifications. Study therefore yourselves.
Aim to find out the actual talents You pos
scss, and then endeavor to make the best
possible use of them, and you can hardly
come short of making good figure in the
world, and, what is more, being one a.
mong those who have lived not in vain.

LOVE AND PRIDE.-"M Many a man has
seen his choice for partner in life, in the
humble girl, far beneath him in the opinion of
the world, and although love and pride might
have struggled with him for while
yet pride triumphed, and he sought one
from higher walks Of life. In all the VI
cissitudes of social existence, nothing can be
capable of inhictng more certain misery than
is sure to follow such course. 1t dlstracts
the general harmony of our days, misshapes
our end, shortens the length Of life, lessons the
stature of manhood, and is contrary to the
plain instruction of reason, for it declares that
where love is, there is peace, plenty and thrift
mess. Every thing good is sure to follow a
happy union. Let not pride Interfere IN this
matter"

CIIILDHOOD.

How artless is childhood even in lis art !!
How transparent, how easily seen through
When wisely dealt with, children shed the
puresi tears of penitence that are ever shed
on earth. And how full ollrustis early child
hood! The child lives and moves and has
its being in eternity. Itknows nothing Of the
be ginning Of life, or Of its ending.
GA simple child
That lightly draws It's breath,
And feels It's life in every limb,
What can il know Of death z?
Over it Immortality broods like the day
But above all, how absolute and uncomProm-
ising and sodike is chiId's sense of right !
He recognizes no limitation 10 the law OF du-
ty. He knows not policy until he learns II
from the evil practices the world. Repeat
10 child the immortal lessons of peace and
love which Christ uttered, and he instantly
recognizes the very commandments of God.
and asks, "why do men i'll treat one anoih-
er?' With a terrible fidelity of application
he turns your instructions directly upon you,
and demands since such is Gods law why
YOU do thus and sol Children cannot I'M
derstand, until the world teaches them, how
any necessity should interfere 10 render en-
tire obedience impossible.

The Western Continent relates the follow

1t 10 doubtless known to our readers that
shortly before his departure from Washington.
Mr. Clay attended a dinner party with many
other distinguished gentlemen Of both polite
cal parties at the Presidents House. The
party is said to have been a very pleasant at
fair. The viands were choice-good feeling
abouaded. and wit and lively repar,ee gave
zest to the occasion, while Mrs Polk, the will
ming and accomplished hostess. added the 6n-
ishing grace of her excellent housewifery in
the superior management Of the feast, Mr.
Clay was of course honorsd with a seat near
the Presidents lady, where il became him to
put in requisition those insinuating talents
which he possesses in 50 eminent degree,
and which are irresistible even to his enemies.
Mrs Polk, with her usual frank and affabls
manner. was extremely courteous t" her dis>
tinguished guest, on whose good opinion, as
Of all who share the inequalities Of the White
House, she did not faiIto win.
Madam said Mr. Clay, in that bland man
ner peculiar to himself, Il must say, that in my
travels, wherever have been, in all compa-
MES and among i'll parties, have heard but
one opinion ofyou. All agree in commencing
in the highest terms your excellent admins
lration OF the domestic affairs of the White
House. But continued he. directing her at
tention to her husband, as for that young gem
tlemsn lhele cannot say as much There is
said he, some little difference Of opinion in
regard to the policy Of his course
'Indeed.' said Mrs Polk, Il am glad to hear
that my administration is popular. And in
return for your compliment, will say that IL
the country should elect Wing next Fall. I
know Of no one whose elevation would please
me more than that of Henry Clay.'
