Character of Hsampdeu.

Mr.. Hampden was a man Of much great
81 cunning, and, ii may be, OF the most dis
corning spirit, and of the greatest address
and insinuation to bring anything to pass
which he desired, of any man Of that time,
and who laid the design deepest. He was
a gentleman Of a good extraction, and a
fair fortune; who, from life of great pleas
ure and license, had, on a sudden, retired
10 extraordinary sobriety and strictneSs, and
yet retained his usual cheeIfulneSs and affa-
bility; which. together with the opinion Of
has wisdom and Justice, and the courage he
had showed in opposing the ship money,
raised his reputation to very great height,
not only in Buckinghamshire, where he
lived, but generally throughout the king.
dom. He was not a man of many words,
and rarely begun the discourse, or made the
first entrance upon any business that was
assumed; but very weighty speaker, and
after he had heard a full debate, and OBJ
served how the house waslke to be inclin-
ed, took up the Argument, and shortly, and
clearly, and craftilyso stated it, that he
commonly cOnduebedi it TO the conclusion he
desired; and if he found he could not do
that, he was never without the dexterity to
divert the debate to another time, and to pre-
vent the determining anything in the mega
tive, which might prove announcement in the
future. He made so great a show of civil
ty. and modesty, and humility, and always
OF mistrusting his own jud gment, and es-
teeming has with whom he conferred for the
present, that he seemed to haze no opinions
or resolutions but such as he Contracted
from the information and instruction he re-
ceiyed upon the discourSes Of Others, whom
he had wonderful art of governing, and
leading into his principles and inclinations,
while they believed that he wholly depend
ed upon their counsel and advice. No
man had ever greater power over himself,
or was less the man that he seemed to be;
which shortly after appeared to all, when
he cared less to keep on the mask.-Clar-

Cause Of Waves.

The friction OF the wind combines with
the tide in agitating the surface Of the ocean
and, according to the theory Of undulations,
each produces its effect independently Of
the other. Wind, however, not only raises
waves, but causes a transfer Of superficial
water also. Attraction between the parti-
cles Of air and water. as well as the pres
sure Of the atmosphere, brings its lower
stratum into adhesive contact with the sur
face Of the sea. If the motion Of the wind
be parallel to the surface. there will still be
friction, but the water will be smooth as a
mirror; but if il be inclined, in however
small degree, ripple will appear. The
friction raises minute wave, whose eleva-
ton protects the water beyond it from the
wind, which consequently impinges on the
surface at small angle: thus, each impulse
combining with the other produces an IN
dulation which continually advances

The DeWdrops

A child, one too wise and good for this
world, saw on a summers morning that the
dewdroPs did not lie and glitter upon the
flowers, for the angry sun came in its might
and dried them up. and they were seen no
more. Soon a rainbow was seen in the
clouds. and his father told him, There are
the dewdroPs over which thou didst grieve,
and they now shine in splendor in heaven,
and no foot can crush them; and remember,
my child, if thou vanishest soon from earth,
it will be to shine in heaven. ''-Rjchter.

Fortune.

Use worthily all that is called Fortune.
Most men gamble with her, and gain all
and lose all, as her wheel rolls. But do
thou leave, as unlawful, these winnings, and
deal with Cause and Effect, the chancellors
OF God. In the Will work and acquire.
and thou hast chained the wheel of Chance
and shalt always drag her after thee. A
political victory, a rise of rents, the recoy.
cry oil your sick. or the return of your alb.
sent friend, or some other quite external
event, raises your spirits, and you think that
good days are preparing for you, Do not
