Moral Character.

There is nothing which adds SO much
to the beauty and power of man, as q
good mpral character. 1t is his wealth
his infuence-his life. 1t ,digni6cs
him in every station. eaalts him in every
condition, and glorifes him at every pc,
riod of life. Such character is more
to be desired than everything ,lse On
earth. 1t makes man free and inde-
pendent. No servile tool-croaking
sycopant-no treaeherous honor seeker
ever bore such character The pure
joys of truth and righteousness never
spring in such apersou- II young men
but knew how much good character,
would dignity and exslt them, low Clio.
rious it would make tdeir prospects,
even in this life; never should we find
them yielding TO the grovelliug and

es, "reminiscences OF Travel And Adventure.
Tales, Stories, And Poems. The field Of selec-
ton is very large and it is believed that the
Eclectic presents A Greater Variety And
Higher Standard Of Literature than any peri
odical can hope to do that depends exclusively
upon home talent.
A knowledge Of the current literature of
other countries is Indispensable to all who

equally eminent. Besides the regular articles
| in the body of the magazine, there are four
original Editorial Departments; Literary Mott
| ces, Foreign Literary Notes, Science And Art,
and Varieties.
With regard to the character of the selec-
tions, the aim of the Eclectic is to be instruc
| tive without being dull, and entertaining with
out being trivial. While each number con
tains something to interest every member OF
the family circle, it addresses itself particular
ly to that great body of ufintelligent readers who
seek profit as well as amusement i'll solid and
| heathtul literature.
