Thanh you, Mr. Birthstone; we stand
corrected. IL was an error of the head
not of the heart. Notwithstanding Ar.

yet that Marmont is ahead, in point OF

Mr. Onelh, citizen of what is known

county, expired very suddenly, yesterday

Fame should neither be despised nor
idolized. An honest fame, based on
worth and merit, deservedly perpetuatcs
the names OF the great and good. There
is a species of spurious fame, some call il
glory, that either dies with the incumbent
or Is uDgratefui to the memory. Genuine
fama is a better undertaken than physi.
Clan. and deals more in epitaphs than
prescriptions. Transient lame, or glory,
requires as much, and difficult, labor To
acquire ii; because the offspring OF am

Those who seek fame must ALWAYS be
ready to take and make opportunities for
advancement, and make paths in which to
travel. Nelson snatched the laurels iIom
the hesilaiing hand of victory, and placed
them on his brow. Cromwell did not
wait to strike, until the iron WAS hot, but
made it hot by striking No fame is
Doth consolatory and enduring, unless
based on virtue, wisdom and justice.
That acquired by wild ambition is tarn-
Ished by assassination. We read The bi-
ography of Washington with calmress
and delight; that ct Napoleon Bunaparte
with mingled feelings of admiration and
abhorrence. We admire the gigantic
powers of his intellect; the vastness of
his designs; the holiness of their exccu
lion; but turn with horror from the
bloody field OF his ambition, and his
dreadful end. His mighty hight of pow
er served only Ia plunge him deeper in
misery: his lofty ambition increased the
burning fortunes of his exile, on the lone.
ly Isle of st. Helena; his towering H.
tellect added duplicate force To- the con-
suming stings of his disappointment,
SO his fatal end would cool the lever of all
who have desire tor fame and glory.
So beware. Mr.. Norwood, and reflect be-
fore you further go.
