The Conscientious Counsellor.-A.
lex. Hamilton was once applied 10 a a
counsel by man having The guardianship
. of several orphans. These infants would,
on their coming Of age, succeed 10 large
and valuable estate, of which there WIS
some material defect in the title deeds.
This fact, and The manner in which il hap.
pcned, was known only 10 the guardian,
who wished 10 employ Hamilton as COM
sci, to vest himself of the title of the cs-
tate. Tie related the affair circumstaniial.
ly, and was requested to call again before
he would venture TO give his advice in a
matter Of so much importance. On his
second visit, Hamilton read over TO him
the minutes Of their previous conversation
that he had reduced to writing, and asked
him If the statement was correct. On re-
ceiyiug an answer in the affirmative, Ha.
milton replied: &" Yon are now complete
" in my rover, and look upon myself
as the future guardian OF the unhappy in
fants. Take my advice settle with them
honorahly to the last cent, or will hunt
YOU from your skin like bare" II is
: proper to add that his advice was punctu
ally followed.
Human Life.-rhetc is happiness in

who owns but few acres OF land and
raises an abundance 10 supply the neces.
sary wants of his family, can ask no more.
If he is satisfied with his condition-and
there are thousands who are--no man is
more happy. No political movement dis
turbs his reposc, no speculative mania cha
ses the calm serenity from his mind; nc
, schisms in the church throw shadows be
