that as the County Board met only at consid-
cradle intervals, and then only for an hour or
two, while their every day pursuits were in
general far removed from those of literary
character, it would seem hardly likely that
their decision in this case would win the as
sent of the community.
These remarks were received with little IA
vor and after some short debate the Board fin
ished by voting itselfcompetent, and proceed
edforthwith to choose a standard. Here new diff
ficulties arose, since the Board by no means a.
greed among themselves as to the matter.
Some of the elder members, who did not think
the new-fangled ways any improvement, wish
ed to see the books of their youth in the hands
of their children, while younger members were
for change at any rate, whether for better or
worse. But matters were at length harmon
lied by means of fortunate suggestion. 1t
was this: that as TO the best standard, that
might be matter of opinion an American
standard was the one thing needful. We
were an Independent people, and ought of
right to have an independent language. Any
references to English standards was decidedly
unpatriotic. Webster's mode of spelling, be-
ing American, was of course the true one for
Americans. This was carried by reclamation,
and even our professional friend, over-borne
by the spirit of the hour, contented himself
with silent vote against this novel mode of
settling pathological questions Let.us not fiat

that the schoolmaster is wanted only at the

HAzLIrT's ADVICE TO his SoN.-Fron
HazIitt's advice to his son on going home
from school, we select the following item,
hich contains more sound sense, and a
deeper perception of human nature than
is dr. can't Of in every ones philosophy.
THE WORLD. Do not begin to quarrel
with the world too soon: for bad as 1t may
be, it is the best we have to live in-here.
If railing would have made it better, ii
would have been reformed long ago-bui
as this is not TO be hoped for at present,
the best way is to slide through 1t as con-
tentedly and innocently as we may. The
worst fault it has, is rant Of charity, and
calling knave or fool at every turn will
not cure this failing. Consider as mat
ter of vanity that if there were not so
many knaves and fools as we find, the
wise and honest would not be those rare
and shining characters that they are allow
ed to be and las matter philosophy
that if the world be really incorrlglble IN
this respect, it is a reflection to make one
sad and not angry. We may laugh or
weep at the madness Of mankind. we have
no right to vilify them, for our own sake
or theirs. Misanthropy is not the disgust
of the mind at human nature ; but with
itself; for it is laying its own exaggerated
vices and foul blots at the door Of others !!
Do not, however mistake what have here
said. l would not have you when you
grow up, adopt the low sordid fashion OF
palliating existing abuses, of putting the
best face upon the worst things. l only
mean that indiscliminate unqualified sa-
tire can do little good, and those VINO III
dulge in'the most revolving speculations
on human nature, do not themselves al
pays set fairest examples, or strive to pre-
vent its lower degradation.

Observation-Disclosures Hamilton was
once applied to as counsel, by man hav-
ing the guardianship OF several orphans.
These infants would, On their coming 10 age,
succeed 10 large and valuable estate, OF
which there was some material defect in the
title deeds. This fact and the manner in
which il happened was known only TO the
guardian. who wished TO employ Hamilton
as counsel, 10 vest in himself The title OF the
estate. He related The whole affair circum
stantially, and was requested by his lawyer
10 call again. before he would venture TO give
his advice in matter of so much importance.
On his second visit, Hamilton read over To
him the minutes Of their previous conversa-
ton, that he had reduced to writing, and
asked him if the statement was correct. On
receiving an answer in The affirmative,
Hamilton replied: lyon are now completely
in my power, and look upon my sell as the
future guardian of the unhappy infants.
Take my ddvice-seItie with ihvm honora

your skin like hare" 1t is proper 10 add
that this advice was punctually followed
