him or his whereabouts until last Saturday,
when a.triend of his in this city received tel
grapic dispatch from him, stating that he was
among the fifty persons saved from the Central

that the writer had lost $3.50 900 in gold which

BROUGHAM AND BURR.

Lord Brougham, in his address the other day
before the Mechanics Institute at Manchester
used the following language
" The first duty of q man il to provide for his
own independence by his own work and not
either to aInuse himself or indulge in any
grauncatiOn--nOt even in that more than inno-
cent, most sacred qualification, Of assuagng his
tarst for knOwledge-until be has done his
day work, and done that which it is his boun-
den duty as well as his highest interest to do,
work with his own hands for the provision 1f
himself and his family. And when / talk Of
working men, am myself, and have been all
my life, working msn--and RS long as I am
blessed with health enough TO continue even
at my advanced time of lifa | shall continue
10 labor, and / shall never henceforth any
more than have hitherto done partake e of any
relaxation, not even IN gratifying Inv thirst for
knowledge, until i have earned the right 10 do
II by having done my day work. There are
other rules as 10 which I would allow no COM
promise, no middle course whatever, and they
are the maxims which ought 10 preside over a
man whole employment of his time. The one
Is, 10 do one thing al a time only the next ig
never TO put OF tfif tomorrow what you1c1n- do
to-day and the third, laiways 10 finish one
ming before you begin another, A very great
and most celebrated man In HolIand-De Witt
was once asked how it happsned that be got
through 20 much business and Of such varied
kind, Tor he Was not only a great states
man and minister, but also a most eminent
mathematician and a literary man; and his an
sSer Eas that it was by two rules which he
always Obseryed-tO do one thing only at a
time and never 70 put of till Tomorrow what
hs could do to-day. These were his golden
rules knew great statesman, no1s no more.

other hand, his principle was. Never to do to-
day what you could put off till tomorrow
And when l cried out against this as a most
heretodox political doctrine, ne gave me half-a-
dozen instances in which much advantage had
occurred from his continual procrastination of
measures that were pressed upon him. These
were certainly the exceptions 10 the rule.

by way 0f pleasantly than anything else and

could produce 10 few instances in its favor
We were at first disposed to think that the
statesman Of another country was Aaron Burr.

one quoted by Brougham reminds US. Burr
