you are not one whit better than any
body else. A few of your more in
innate friends think well of you, arc
proud of your success, and have high
hopes Of your future career. The
opinion of these you already know, or
may know ; and if you heard the half
of what others say, or were aware of
the perfect Indifference with which
you arc regarded by those whose su-
lperior in many respects you are, you
would hardly have the confidence you
now possess. 1t is well we do not know
what others think of us, and it is better
five are independent enough Of ropu-
lar opinion to act, as we believe, right.
ly, without considering what others
will think or say.
Our friend acknowledged that if
such remarks were made, he should
rather not listen to them and that he
should be very careful to avoid the
society of those who had shown their
lack Of good sense and their want of
appreciation of high motives and earn
est effort. by speaking disparagingly
| of him. We assured him that it was
no personal i'll will towards him that
prompted these doubtful compliments,
but thatlt was simply because others
could not sec him as he appeared to
himself, and advised him to 60 Oh and
act as if he believed every one to be
his friend, and never trouble himself
with regard to the estimate people set
upon him, always taking care to OBJ
serve the golden motto Of Davy Crock
cit.
Our friend, willing to change the
subject for another, said that after all
he didn't care much what others
thought, but that he did wish he
" could look into futurity few years
1t would. be so pleasant 10 know how
much one will accomplish and what
will be his situation in ten years. |
really wish | could anticipate that pc
riod." We were as much surprised
at the folly of this wish as at his first,
and We went on to show him how great
an injury this knowledge would be,
were it possible. 1t would take away
the greatest spring of effort, and blot
hope out Of existence. You feel now
that everything depends upon your
individual cXertions, a score Of pleasant
anticipations keep your constant com
pany, and the halo of the good time
coming already hovers around your
path. Would you cast these from you,
know what are to be your disappoint.
mcnts, and have no future for ten
years ? 1t was wise decree of the
Great Supreme that the future should
always be sealed book to us. Day
BY day an unseen hand turns over a
leaf, and We may read the record Of
our yesterdays, but never those of our
to-morrows. The position which we
may gain by ten years labor would be
giddy place for US to-day-thc re-
verses We may meet with ere that
would ernbitter every intervening
pleasure.
Truly this life is best as it is, if we
only knew how to tuin it to the best
advantage, and our most common wish
es, were they complied with, would
often prove our greatest calami;ics.

A Thirty SIX MILLION IEfREss.
The Southern papers mentioned
some time since, rumor that the wife
Of the Rev. Samuel Clawson, of Nir-
ginia, had fallen heir to an immense
fortune in England. The western
(Va.) Herald says the facts of the
case are as follows-There was rigi.
nally the sum Of tllirty-six millions of
dollars in the estate of the Earl of
Lancaster, in England and upon the
death Of the Earl and his brothers a
dispute arose between the house of
York and the house Lancaster, (insti-
tuted by the former, because Of an III.
termarriagc between the two houses }
the house Of 1orksuing for the heirship.
The suit was protractcd from lower to
higher courts, from fifty to a hundred
years, and was finally decided at the
EXchequcr, (the Queens Bench,) in
avor Of the house of Lancaster. After
this decision advertisements were scat
tered abroad over the world for the
heirs Of the Lancaster estate; and the
mother of Mrs. Clawson, wife of
Rev. Samuel Clawson, is one of the
heirs. Attorneys are employed by
the heirs to secure their interests, and
it is supposed that the whole affair will
be settled up during this winter, when
the heirs will receive their portions.
The above sum of thirty-six millious
has been at interest for more than
sixty years, which interest will pay
the cost of law, and leave the original
clear.

To this subject the Washington Sentinel devo,es
nearly the whole Of its issue last Friday. We have
only room for &c choice extracts-premising that
after such picture drawn by leading Democratic
journal Democratic friends will duly appreciate
the appointment of this VIM. j. Brown, by Pre-
