There is a sort of people in the world
of whom the young and inexperienced
stand much ii need to be warned These
are the sanguine promisers They may
be divided into two sorts. The first are
those who, from a foolish custom Of
fawning upon all those they come in
company with, have learned habit Of
promising TO do great kindness, which
they have no thought of performing
he other are sort of warm people who
while they are Iavishing away their
promises; have really some thought of
doing what they engage for; but after
wards when the time of performance
comes, the sanguine fit being gone off,
the trouble OIL expense appears in anoth-
er light; the promiser coos, and the ex-
pectant is bubbled or perhaps greatly in
iured by the disappointment.

SUCCESS.

The most important elem ent of sue
cess is conomv-economy OF money
and economy of time. BY economy we
do not mean penuriousness, but merely
such wholesome thrift as will dIslncline
us to spend our time or money without
an adequate return either in gain or en-
ioyment. An economical application Of
time Brings leisure and method, and enables
us to drive our business, instead OF our
business driving us. There is nothing al
tenopd with results so disastrous as such
scaIculation of our time and means
as will inv Owe us in perpetual hurry
and difficulty. The brightest talents
must be ineffective under such a pres
sure, and a life of eXpedients has no end
but penu.y. Worldly success however,
though universally coveted, can be only
desirable in so lar as It contribu,esto hap
piness, and il will contribute TO happi-
ness very little, unless there be tuIliva-
ted lively benevolence 10 every AM
mated being "fIappiness," it has been
finely observed ''s IN the proportion Of
the number of things we love, and the
number of things that love US" To this
sentiment we most cordially subscribe,
and we should wish 10 see it written on
the tablet Of every heart, and producing
its fruits Of charity. The man, whatev-
er be his fame, or fortune, or intelligence
who can treat lightly another's wo--
who is not bound to his fellow men by
the magic tie o. sympathy, deserves, ay,
and will obtain, .te contempt Of human
kind. Upon him all the gifts Of future
are thrown away. Happiness he has
none. His life is a dream. mere lethar
CIV, without throb of human emotion;
and he will descend to the grave cum
wept. un.,onoured, and unsuag.' Such
fate is not to be envied; and let those
who are intent upon sue cess, remember
that success is nothing without happi-
!
