&c LUCK. "


Rev. II. w. Beechcr, in one Of his lec-
lures to young men, uses the following lan-
guagc, which should be read and remem-
brrcd.
al may here as we'll as elsewhere, i'm.
part the secret of good and bad luck. There
arc men, who, supposing Providence to
have an implacable spite against them,
bcmoan in poverty of wretched old age
the miscortunes Of their lives. Luck forever
ran against them. One. with good pro.
lrssioh, lost his luck in the river, where he
idled his TINE a fishing, when he should
have been in his office. Another, with a
good trade, perfectly burnt up his luck by
his hot temper, which provoked his employ
ers to leave him. Another with Il lucrative
business lost his luck by amazing diligence
at everything but his business Another
who steadily followed his trade, as steadily
followed his bottle. Another, who was
honest and constant at his work, erred by
perpetual misjudgmcnts; he lacked discre.
ton. Hundreds lose their lucks by cndors-
ing; bv sanguinc specula,ions; by trusting
fraudulent men; aud by DISHONEST gains.
4 man never has good luck that has bad
wife. never knew an early rising, hard
working, prudent man, careful Of his earn.
ings, and strictly honest, who complained Of
bad luck. A good character, good habits,
and iron industry arc impregnabIe to the
assaults of all the iil.luck that fools ever
dreamed of. But when see Il talter de.
malion, creeping out Of 4 grocery late i'll
the afternoon with his hands in his pockets
the rim of his hat turned up, and the crown
knocked ia, | know he has bad lucked--
Tor the worst of all luck is to be Il sluggard
a knavc, or a tiper."

And thus saying, the half spoiled Clara
Thurson, drew the arm of the gentle cousin
Elsie Whitney-within her own, and
then they hastily songht, through the shady
avenue, the romantic spot for the pursuance
Of their tastes.
As the evening advanced, the maidcns-

VOL. XVIT.---NO. "a.
GREAT MEN NEVER DIE.

In the olaton delivered by Webster i'll
Faneuil Hall, In 1926, on the death of Ad-
ans and Jefferson, he thus tells US, and his
words have now full application to himself,
that great and good men never die:
Adams and Jefferson have said, are no
more. As human beings indeed they are no
more. They are no more as in l776, bold
and fearless advocates Of independence; no
more, as on subsequent periods, the heads
of the government; no more, as we have al
ready seen them, aged and venerable OBJ
jects of admiration and regard. They are
no more. They are dead. But how little
is there Of the great and good, which can
die +! To their country they yet live, and
live, and live forever. They live in all that
perpeluatcs tho remembrance Of men on
earth; aud in the recorded proofs of their
own great actions; in the offspring of their
intellect; in the deep engraved lines of pub
lie gratitude, and in the respect and homage
of mankind. They live in their example,
and they live, emphatically, and will live, in
in the influence which their lives and ef.
forts, their principles and opinions, now ex-
ercise on the affairs of men, not only in their
own country, but throughout the civilized
world. a superior and commanding human
intellect, truly great man, when heaven
vouchsafes so rare gift, is not temporary
flame, burning bright for while and then
expiring, giving place to returning darkness.
1t is rather spark of fervant heat, as well
as radicnt light, with power to enkiudle the
common mass of human mind; so that
when it glimmers in its own decay, and
finally goes out in death, no night follows,
but it leaves the world all light, all on fire,
from the potent contract of its own spirit.
Bacon died but the human understanding,
reused by the touch of his miraculous wand,
to perception of the true philosophy, and
the just mode of inqniring after truth, has
kept OIL its course, successful y and glorious.
ly Newton died; yet the courses Of the
spheres arc still known, and they yet move
on. in the orbits which he saw, and describ-
ed for them, in the infnity Of space. .
