Contempt.

Contempt is q natural passion, inspired wi
in sensible mind at the sight Of pretensid
In the FIRST place, a sensible persons feels cd
tempt for one who is making great show
wealth--a contempt which is often allied
pity and regret for one who chooses to be
nconsiderate. There are continually peoI
making great appearances of wealth to attra
the attention of envious and ignorant morta
but in the mind of sensible individual tho
butterfly equipage, or their gaudy dwellings
tracts but his pity, (and pity in this case,
all know, is allied to contempt,) that the
should be an individual on the civilized portid
Of the earth, who places all his happiness
being admired by the ignorant and changeal]
multitude for brief space Of time. On t
other hand, he who pretends to a show
wealth without the means, is not only rendd
ing himselfridiculous by his vanity, but is ad
ing very sinful part, by depriving the labd
er Of his hire, and rendering himself and
family poverty-stricken and down.faIen, aft
his short career Of egrcgious pride; besid
ever afte terwards subject to the ridicule of hi
more wise companions, who, though they
shared in the pleasure of his short-lived folly
were wise enough not 10 mingle their fortunes
with his own. There are some who affec
poverty, either to hoard wealth, or to be con
sidered as misanthropes, &C., in either cas-,
there is much despicable selfshness. He wht
makes himself singular by dressing gaudily, il
equally entitled to our contempt. There ar'
also those who make great boast acknowledge
this is the effusion of a little soul, and Otter
meets with its reward by the exposure of it
ignorance. but is nevertheless to be avoided
and despised. A person using violent argu
ment is as much entitled TO contempt as one
who does not argue at all the first because il
is the effect Of coarse breeding or uncontrolled
passion the latter, because he claims no par
ticipation in argument, and is therefore igno
rant. There are some who make great show
Of morality, and some of immortality, both o.
which are despicable- first, because he is
ahypocrte latter no amiablc person vii
associate with. There are also both bullies
and towards in the world, both of whom are
TO be avoided and despised-the first is not fl
for sociable society-the latter Is contemplate
for sufficient reason-he lacks the stamina
of man. There are those who endeavor to
lord it over their fellow mortals because they
have little wealth, and think that that vii
make up for want Of the common rules o.
etiquette; such persons are heartily to be de.
spsed. Their staggering may pass among
Doors like themselves. but in the heart of d
sensible individual their money is looked upon
as dirt, in comparison to the well stored mind
of an amiable person, though he be as poor as
the others are veal.

as lambs fleece; but when ruder breath
had forced open its virgin modesty, and dis
manlled its too youthful and unrpe retirement,
it began to put on darkness and decline to soft

it bowed its withered head aud broke its sick

CONCLUSION To- MORROW. |

An ANECDOTE.- question relating
10 the proper costome of American Am
bassadors at foreign courts, has revived
the following anecdote of DR.. Franklin s
reception in Paris:
when he was appointed minister, he
made his appearance at court in the rich
est dress he could procure on short notice
al that time, A powdered wig was an
indispensable part of the court dress.
There was no time to make one for DIR.
Franklin, and his head was so large that
no wig then in Paris would fithim. He,
however, procured one, and went to court
IN full dress, wig and all.
The Lord Chamberlain met him in
the ante-room, to introduce him to
the Hing, who occupied an inner apart
Inent. Upon seeing DIR. Franklin, the
Lord Cham berlsin became convulsed
with laughter, and returning to the King.
said, Il cannot introduce DIR. Franklin,
as it rs impossible to see him without
laughing, He is in full court costume,
but his powdered wig is much too small
FOR his head, and as be pulls it down be-
hind, it cocks up before
Let the Doctor come in without his
wig, then,' said the King, laughing.
Franklin, stuffing his wig into his cooked
hat, strobe into the apartment, amidst
the merrlment Of the company"

DON'T BELONG TO Your SOcIEFY.-In
a certain country town in which religious
differences We're notably fostered, the
orthodox minister was once presented
with tame raven, which, by its former
owner, had been taught to :: talk" or at
any rate pronounced certain words with
much distinctness. For some time after
its reception, the worthy clergyman was
ignorant of the extent Of the birds ac-
complishments, and especially so of the
fact hat some words pronounced by it
were decidedly unclerical and profane.-
At length an old lady, a notorious dis
putant, belonging to another society,
CHANGED to pay visit to the clergyman S
wife. The raven perching himself upon
the back Of chair, eyed her steadily for
a lJng time, and at length cooking his
head aside very gravely, and peering
close in her face, shouted aloud-to the
horror Of both ladies and others assem-
Lied-" D-n We d-n
The old lady rose in high dudgeon, and
facing her denouncer, as she turned to
depart--retorted in loud voice, and
with very red face" don't you d-n

HANGED WHILE DRUNK.-We read in
the Gazette des Tribunaux A young
man about twenty-nine years of age, ar
rived at Paris, month ago. to seek
a place, but, as he was provided with
rather large sum Of money, he resolved
to Indulge in debauchery until it should
be spent. On Thursday evening he went
TO due with some acquaintance, and
remained drinking with them until 4
O'ci0cs IN the morning. He then returned
10 i.is hotel. in the Rue St. Honore, but
ives so drunk that he could hardly walk
IN stairs Yesterday morning a person
called TO see him, and was directedto his
room, which was situated at the bottom
of an isolated corridor. To his astonish-
ment ne fourd him hanging by the neck,
By the cravat to the handle of the door.
Tie, it appeared, in trying to open the
door, had slipped, and his cravat, which
he wore very loose, caught by the handle
The efforts he made to release himself,
in bis state of intoxication. were fruitIess,
and he remained hanging until he was
completely strangled. -
