ADVICE TO YoUNG MEN.-Socrat,

ADVICE TO YoUNG MEN-Socrates did
not urge friends to enter early upon public
employments, but first to take pains for at
tainment Of the knowledge necessary for
their success in them.
Are you stepping on the threshold Of
life ? Secure a good moral character. With.
out virtue you cannot be respected; with
out integrity you can never rise to distinc.
ton and honor.
Be careful lest too warm desire Of dis.
tinction should deceive you into pursuits
that may cover you with shame by setting
your incapacities and slender abilities in
full light.
People who have the rashness to 90 into
stations without proper authority and the
requisite preparation for the service, not on
ly involve others in loss, but subject them
selves to ridicule.
The tricky, deceitful, and dishonest are
rarely prosperous for when confidence is
Withdrawn, poverty is likely to follow.
The shortest and surest way to live with
honor in the world, is to be in reality what
we appear 10 be.
When once a concealment or deceit has
| been practiced in matters where all should
be fair and open as the day, confidence can
| never be restored, any more than you can
restore the white bloom to the grape or
plum that you have once pressed in your
hand.
Error is the cause of many miseries, the
corrupt principle that has produced evil in
the world his this which begets and cher.
ishes in our souls all the evils that aff1icts u.s.
and we can never expect to gain true and
solid happiness but by serious endeavor
to avoid IL! Falsehood is not only one ol
tha most humiliating vices, but sooner or
later it is most certain to lead to most seri.
ous Grimes.
Industry, we'll directed, will give man
competency in few years. The greatest
industry nisapplied is useless.

His official career being terminated,
Washington set off for Mount Vernon ac-
companied b!v Mrs Washington, her grand
daughter Miss Nelly Curtis, and George
Washington Lafayette, with his preceptors.
Ofthe enthusiastic devotion manifested
toward him wherever he passed, he takes,
the following brief and characteristic no.
tice "The attentions we met with on our
journey were very aattering, and to some
whose minds are differently formed from
mine, would have been highly rclished !;
but avoid in evrey instance where I had
any previous notice of the intention, and
could, by earnest entreaties, prevail, all
parade and escorts"
He is at last at Mount Vernon, that ha-
ven Of repose to which he had so often
turned a wishfu eye, throughout his agita-
ted and anxious life, and where he trusted
to pass quietly and serenely the remainder
of his days. He finds himself, however,

every thing about him required comfortable
repairs, and house is Immediately to be

eIs, and such is my anxiety to be out OF
Sheir bands, that have scarcely room To
put friend into, or to sit in myself, without
che music of hammers and the odoriferous
scent Of paint"
Still he is at Mount Vernon, and as the
spring opens the rural beauties oftbe country
exert their sweetenipg influence. In let
ter to bis friend Oliver Wolcott, who, as
Secretary of the Treasury, was still acting
on "the great theatre" he adverts but brief
ly to public affairs. "For myself adds
he, exultingly, "bavipg turned aside from

advanced up to the General with firm
step. "Sir," said she, "you brought me up
TO speak the truth, and when told grand
mama l was alone, l hope you believed /
a0us alonc."
The General made one Of his most mag
unanimous bows. "My Child" replied he, Il
beg your pardon"
We will anticipate, dates, and observe
that the romantic episode of Miss Nelly
Curtis terminated to the generals satisfac-
ton; she became the happy wife of Law
renee Lewis, as will be recorded in a future
page.
Early in the autumn, Washington had
been relieved from his constant solicitude
about the fortunes OF La Fayc,te. Letters
received by George w. La Fayette from
friends in Hamburg informed the youth that
his father and family had been liberated
from Olmutz and were on their way to Paris
with the intention Of cmbarking for Amer
ica. George was disposed to sail for Franco
Immediately, eager to embrace his parents
and sisters in the first moments of their re-
lease. Washington urged him to defer his
departure until he should receive letters
from the prisoners themselves, lest they
should cross the ocean in different directions
at the same time, and pass each other,
which would be a great shock to both par
ties. George, however, was not to be per-
suaded, and 81 could not withhold my as
sent" writes Washington, ito the gratifica-
tion of his wishes, to fly to the arms of
those whom he holds most DEAR"
George and bis tutor, Mr.. Frestel, sailed
! from New York on the 2Gth October.
| Washington writes from Mount Vernon to
La Fayettc. "Ihis letter, hope and ex-
pcct, will be presented to you by your son,
who is highly deserving Of such parents as
you and your amiape lady.
"IIe can relate much better than I can
describe, my participation in your sufferings,
my solitude for your relief, the measures
adopted, though Intellectual, to facilitate
your liberation from an unjust and cruel
imprisonment, and the JOY I expected at the
news of its accomplishment. shall hasten
therefore, to congratulate yon, aud be AS
sured that no one can do it with more cor
diai,y, with more sincerity, or with greater
affection on the restoration of that liberty
which every act Of your life entities you tc
the enjoyment Of; and hope l may add
to the uninterrupted possession Of your es
tates, and the confidence of your country
The account of which George w. La
Fayette had received Of the prisoners Of o.
mutz was premature. 1t did not take place
until the 10Th Of September nor was it un
til in the following month Of February tina
the happy meeting took place between
George and his family, whom he found re
siding in the chateau of relative in Hol

DOES THE Moon AFFECT THE WEATHER.
1t has always been a favori,e prejudice
that the weather is Influenced in some man
ner by the moon. The moon can te sup
posed 10 act on the earth only in one Of
three ways, namely: by the light which it
reflects, by its attrad,ion, or by an emana-
tion Of some unknown kind. Now, the light
Of the moon does not amonnt to tho ono
hundred thonsandth part Of that of the sun,
and the heat it exeites is so small as to be
altogether inappreciaLle by the most deli
cate instruments, or the best devised exper-
imcnt. No effect can be attributed, there
fore to the moons light. With regard to
the attraction to the moon, we see lis inf1u-
ence on the atmosphere but there is taken
into account. the small specific gravity of
atmospheric air in comparison with water.
and the consequent slnaluess of tho mass
OF matter TO be accumulated upon, it is
readily perceived that this influence must
also be extremely feeble. As to the re.
naming suppositons, that the moon NAV
act on the atmosphere by some obscure em-
anation, it is sufficient proof to the contrary,
that no meteorological observations that
have yet been made afford the slightest
traces Of any such connection between the
earth and its satellite.

WHEN OTHER FRIENDS.

When other friends are round thee,
And other hearts are thine;
When other bays have crowned thee,
More fresh and green than mine
Then think how sad and lonely,
This doating heart will be:
Which, while it throbs, throbs only,
Beloved one, for thee.
Yet do not think doubt thee,
know thy truth remains;
I Iwould not live without thee
For all the world contains.
Thou art the star that guides me
Along life's troubled sea;
And whatever fate betidcs me,
This heart still turns to thee.
WASHINGTON AT MOUNT VERNON.
