A GooD MANS WIsn.-I freely confess
to you, says D.. Sharp. that would rath.
er, when am laid 10 the grave. some one
in his manhood would stand over me aud
say, "There lies one who was real friend
to me, and privately warned OF the danger
Of the young, no one knew it, but he aided
me in lhe tjpe ofneed owe wha. am
to him" Or would rather some widow
with choking tlterance, telling her chill.
drsn ''there is your friend and mine. He
vsiled me in nv affliction, and found you,
my son. as employer. and you, my daugh-
ter, y happy home iu a virtuqus, family" "
i would rather such persons 'shohld stand
at my grave than have erected over il the
most besutiful sculptured monument OF Pa-
rian or Italian marble. The hearts bro
ken utterance Of reflections OF past kindness
and The tears OF greatefu memhry shed ups
on the grave are more valuable, in my esl.
maion, than the most costly cenotaph ever
reared.

INDUsTARY AND GENIUS There are many
teachers who profess to show the nearest
way to excellence; and many expedients,
have been invited by which the tolls OF
study might be saved. Rut let NO man bo
seduced to idleness by specious promises.
Excellence is never granted TO man but as
a reward Of labor. Il argues, indeed, no
small strength of mind TO perserve in habits
Of industry without the pleasures of per-
ceiving those advances which, like the
hand ofa clock. whilst they make hourly
approaches 10 the point, yet proceed so
slowly as to escape observation. Thare is
one precept. however, in which shall
only be opposed BY the vain the ignoraht,
and the idle. 1 am not afraid that l shall
repeat It foo often. You must have no
dependence on your own genius. II you
have great talents, industry will improve
them: II you have but moderate abilities,
industry will supply their deficiency
Nothing is denied TO well directed labor;
nothing is to be obtained without it.
