',Small, Sweet COnrteSieS Of Life

''SmalI, Sweet COurteSieS Of Life"
Extract of letter Of the late William
Writ to his Daughter:
II want to tell YOU secret. The way
to make yourself pleasing to others, is TO
show that YOU care for them. The whole
world is like the miller at Mansfield, who
cared for nobody-no, not he-bccause
nobody cared for him And the whole
world Will serve You so, if you give them
thc same cause. Let every one, therefore,
sec that YOU do care for them by showing
them, what Stcrnc, so happily calls, the
small sweet cuutcsies oflile'-those cour-
tcsies in which there is no parade, whose
voice is too still TO tease, and which man
iiest themselves ty tender and aflectionatc
looks, and little kind acts Of attention.
giving others the preference inevery little
enjoyment at the table, in the Field, walk
inc, sitting or standing. This is the spirit
that gives to your time of life, and to your
sex its sweetest charms. 1t constitutes
the sum total of all the witchcrait Of wo-
man Let the world see that your first
care is for yourself, and you will spread
the solitude of the Upas tree around you,
in the same way, by the emanation of a
poison which kills all the juices Of afec-
lion in lis ncighborhood. Such girl may
he admired for her understanding and ac-
accomplishments, but she will never be be-
loved.
The seeds of love can never grow bat
under the warm and genial influence OF
kind feelings and aflcctlonate manners.
Vivacity gees great way in young per
sons. II calls attention 10 her who dis
plavs it; and if ii then be found assocla-
ted with 4 generous scGslblllty, lis eXecu-
ton is irresistible.
On the contrary, if it be found in ALI
ancc with a cold, naughty, selfish heart,
il produces ne further effect, except an adj
verse one. Attend TO this my daughter.
Il flows from heart that feels for you all
the anxiety parent can feel, and not with
out this hope which constitutes the pa
rents highest happiness. May God pro,
tcct and bless you.
Your aloctionatc father,

Monument in Washington, on the 4th OF

of the Grafton is as follows:

,ional jealousy, lanatical rage, the accurSed
ambition for notoriety and power, the low
annette for place and It's cmolumcnts, and
the spirit of political rivalry, be banshed
forever from the council halls of The nation!

courtesy, restrain the turhd current OF an

Or shalt VIC miss the cock;
Wilt never sigh, any gentle girl,
To fetch our humble Goals?
Put, when were very short of cash,
Wilt I've on cottage rolls
Oh, can you sup on tuTnip tops,
Nor sigh for higher state,
When that within our cottage walls
May chance to bc our fate?
Wntnovcr dream, thou tender orc,
OF balls and diapers shops
Wilt thou a cheerful smile put on,
And sup on turnip tops
Ics, Will live on cottage rolls,
With love, and JOY, and thee;
Ny heart will seek no other bliss,
Than Thy own bride 70 be;
For well We know, tina: all We breathe,
For joy must pay some tolls,

Oh, yes, I'll sup on turnip tops,
And crosses from the spring,

My heart will ne'cr take wing.
Nor balls, nor routs, will tempt NE t!cn,
Nor Cancy-drapcrs' shops,
But ali on love and signs wc'll live,
And smile on turnip tops.
