ADVICE OF PRESIDENT MADIsoS.-The following
sentences, said to have been written by President
Madison just before his death, are peculiarly ac-
ceptable at this time:
'Aduice to my Country.-As this advice, lift ever
see the light, will not do 30 till am no more, it
may be considered as issuing from the tomb, where
truth alone can be respected, and the happiness of
TO whatever weight can be derived from good in
tentions, and from the experience of one who has
served his country in various stations through
period of forty years; who espoused in his youth,
and adhered through his life, to the cause of iber
ty; and who has borne part in most of the great
transactions which will constitute epochs of its des
tiny
"The advice nearest to my heart and deepest in
my convictions is, that the UNION OF THE STATES
be cherished and perpetuated. Let the open enemy
to it be regarded as Pandora with her box opened
and the disguised one the serpent creeping with
his deadly wiles into Paradise"

1.-THE Presidont's message, at the opening Of the
present session of Congress, expresses fully and
plainly his own and the unanimous opinion of all
those associated with him in the Executive admin
. istration Of the Government, in regard to what
are called the Adjustment or Compromise mea-
of last session. That opinion is, that those
measures should be regarded in principle as
final settlement Of the dangerous and exciting
subjects which they embrace; that though they
9 were not free from imperfections, yet, in their
mutual dependence and connection, they formed,
a system of compromise the most conciliatory
and best for the entire country that could be OBJ
tanned from conflicting sectional interest and
opinions, and that therefore they should be ad-
hered to, until time and experience should de-
monstrate the necessity of further legislation to
guard against evasion or abuse That opinion, 80
{ far as i know, remains entirely unchanged, and
. will be acted upon steadily and decisively. The
peace of the country requires this the security Of
the Constitution requires this; and every considc
6 ration of the public good demands this. If the
6 Administration cannot stand upon the principles
of the message, it does not expect to stand at ALL

A Young gentleman who was sit

per inquired,
"How much did you say?"
"Nine hundred and upwards" an
swered the other.
"That is about half as large as
some my father makes in this coun-

1000 pounds,' replied the young
man.

"What is his character for truth
and veracity?" inquired the stran-

the stranger, "is, that he has been
telling us that his father manufac-

We have been friends together,
In sunshine and in shade,
Since first beneath the chestnut tree,
In infancy we played.
But GOODNESS dwells within thy heart
A cloud is on thy brow;
We have been friends together
Shall light word part us noN'
We have been gay together;
We have laughed at little jestsj
For the fount of hope was gushing
Warm and joyous in our breasts.
But laughter now hath fled thy lip,
And sorrow glooms thy brow;
We have been gay together
Shall light word part us nowP
We have been sad together;
We have wept with bitter tears,
Der the gass-grown-graves where slumbei
The hopes of early years.
The vices that are silent there,
Should bid thee clear thy brow;
We have been sad together
Shall light word part us now?

PLEASANT VARIETIES.

Wanted by a Dutch gardener, a

said, he could ride four times as

A Dutchman was relating his mar

lost by the upsetting Of a boat, and
he alone was saved. "And how did
you escape their fate" said one of
the hearers. II It'd not 60 in tie

answer.
In vain do we look for true and .
lasting satisfaction in any other

The vain abhor the vain; but the

the former.
The Glutton is the lowest souled

There are two classes of people
who can afford to be modest: those
who possess a vast amount Of knowl-
