nTHE WoRsT WHEEL MAKES THE MOS.


Noise" Never was maxim truer than this
Look at that woman, who is always using
hard words-who looks upon the gayeties
of society with an distracted air, and won
ders that any body, who has any mind, can
fix their attention upon triAing games and
frivolous conversation. Depend upon it, she
would not need to act this farce, if she had
real intelligence and information. She is
'the worst wheel in the carriage and she
makes the most noise
Look at that benevolent bustler, with bis
eternal schemes, all excellence for the poor.
Thousands, of whom you never will hear, d.
more good than he. 'He is the noisiest
wheel -..
Look at the politician, whose days and
nights are consumed in anxious cares for the
good of "he people, 'thc dear people, the
'injured people, whose tongue is worn
thin with abuse of the aristocracy, and war
nings against their monstrous thirst of pow.
er. Have an eye to that mamie will play
the tyrant where he can-his democracy is
all put on. He is thc worst wheel in the
carriage
Look at the lover, kneeling, and signing,
and fattering-his eternal constancy will
last but few months. He too is noisy
wheel -y
See the religionist, for whom even the Old
Testament is not sufficiently holy reading
whois always telling the wonderful states of
his own mind, for the good of others
whose sleep is disturbed by the idea that
ships sail on Sunday. What do you think
that man is, when the eye of the world is not
on him? The worst wheel in the carriage
makes the most noise
BE not too eager to help those who come
to you with highly colored pictures Of dis
tress, and loud complaints of discouraged
industry. The most virtuous among the
poor stay at home, and silently struggle with
their poverty so long as it can be struggled
with. The worst wheels are ever the noisi-
est
Look suspiciously upon those publications,
that are continually boasting of 'unparallel-
ed success,-immense number of subscri-
bers,' Of being 'eargerly sought for by all
classes ofpeopleP ? Really good publications
do not need such practices. If the regiment
were already collected, they would not sound
the trumpet so loudly. The worst wheel is
the noisiest, simply because it is the worst.
Observe that lady, who is so eager in pur-
suit of the fashions, that her servant must
run with his band-box, lest fashion should
out-speed him. She cannot endure the
sight of vulgarity, and tells you she thinks
it extremely unlady-like to know what one
is to have for dinner. She uses cologne at
the mention of a mechanic and apologises
to you again and again for having any un-
fashionably dressed person of merit in her
rooms. Why does she taM so much about
gentiity and rank? Her father was brick
layer and her husband was once mason
She is fool herself; and therefore she sup
poses others are fools. The worst wheel is
always the noisiest.'
Lastly, do not judge of carriage by its
noisiest wheel. All the intelligent should
not be judged of by the pedant: all repub!i-
cans ought not to be classed with the dema-
gogue; every religionist is not hypocrite;
and few proud and silly women must not
condemn the whole world of fashion. When
you hear very noisy wheel, remember it is
the pora wheel
