FORMATION OF CHARACTER.-The mind of
man receives It's first bias when the seeds of all our
future actions are sown incur hearts, and when
es, in themselves so trfnG as almost to he imner
ceplbIc, chain us TO good or bad TO fortune or mis-
fortune forever. The character of man is like a
piece oYpotters clay, which when fresh and new is
easily fashioned according to the will of those in
to whose hands 1T falls but its form once given and
hardened, either 10y the slow drying Of time, or by
It's passage through the ardent furnace OF the world
any one may break 1t into atoms, but never bend it
again TO another mould. Our parents. our teachers,
our companions, all serve 10 modify our disposition.
The very proximity of their faults their fallinos
OF their virtues, leave it were an impress on The
flexible mind Of infancy, which the steades reason
can hardly modify, and years themselves never can
erase.

IDLENEss.-Niue .tenths the miseries and vices
of manhood proceed from idleness with men Of
quick minds, to whom it is especially pernicious,
the habit is commonly the fruit of many disappont-
ments and shames, and men fail in their schemes
not so much for want Of strength as from the id-
TectiOn Of ii. The weakest living creature, by con
centrating his powers on single object, can ac-
compsh something's the strongest, by dispensing
his over many, may fail to accomplish any thing
The drop by continued falling. bores its passage

why ;! thou art like the tickle things that were
My friends, when wealth and luxury were mine;
When high the feast was pi'd and Joyous wine
Flowed in cups and banshed thought and care
How blithely in these rcvcls thou did'st share
But now thou stihg'st me in my prides decline,
And wilt not to my humble state incline
Thyself brook TO toll and drudge DER homcly fare
Since thou like those who shard my hours Of mirth,
But left me lonely in afHchons day,
Hast proved myself, with them, of little worth,
And fallen like their friendships to decay,
Ill seek stoot LAhHAM's hand to drag thee forth,
