And sings some tasty songs, too:
But my veracity impeach,

Without one spark of wit refined,
\Vithout one beauty in her mind——
Genius or education.
Or family, or fame to boast.
To see such gentry rule the roast.
Turns patience to vexation.
To clear such rubbish from the earth,
Though real genius, mental worth,
And science too attend you ;
You might as well the sly refine.
Or cast your pearls before the swine,

THE TWO ROADS TO WEALTH.
‘ \Vhat a fine thing it is to be rich 3' ex-
claimed Charlcs Ashton,as he passed ‘Squire
Wilkins’ great house.
‘A fine thing, indeed,’ replied his friend.
Frank May, ‘ provided —‘ V .
‘ Provided what '1’ .
‘ Provided we can have a few other good
things with it.’ ’ ‘
' Other good things! why man,‘ money
will buy all the good things in the world.
‘ Not quite, replied Frank, to be sure it
will buy some small matters which are con-
venient, but there are other things essential
that it will not buy.’
‘ Such as what?’ interrupted the friend.
‘ Such as health, happiness and a clear
conscience.’
‘ Well, Frank, I suppose it would not be
extictlythe rightcoin for these cotninodities,
but I’ll tell you of one nice article which it
will buy." "-
‘ And what is that .7’
‘ A VVife l’
‘ Ah! replied Frank. tbal.’s the only arti-
cle in the world which I should rather beg
than buy !’
‘ VVt-ll Frank. you are a man of indepen-
dent’ feelings, but I’m afraid you'll never
be a man ofindependent property.’
‘ IiVh_v Charles, what makes you tliiuk
so? I like ‘money, ar_idI mean to get my
share, provided I can do it hounstl-y.’
‘Ah, you willbetoo much hindered with
scruples to make any headway in the world.
My motto is~.O‘-o ahead, hit or miss.’
‘ Andi,’ said Frank, ‘should as lief have
nothing to eat but sugar, as to have nothing
to enjoy but wealth.’
Here the frientls parted; one to his \\?Ol’I(-
shop, the other to his counting room. These
yoting men lived in a villa, on the banks of
the Connecticut. Charles Ashton was a
merchant, and Frank May was a mechanic.
They were both what the world calls ‘very
fine young men.’ Its eyes never look down
intothe heart. It is the prerogative of one
eye alone to look on the secret springs of
action—to that eye, the difference between
the two characters was very great.
Both applied themselves with all diligence
rich.
Frank May resolvtd that every dollar
should be gained not only honorably but
honestly. As for Cliarles Ashton, he had
but one purpose; and that was to acquire
\vcaltli—untramcllcd by scruples about
ways and means.
‘ l’ll. hen rich .man iwfore I diel’ spid
he to himself, one night as he was studying
his lcdger——the only book in the world that
bcthougbt to be really entertaining. He
was tintirirtg in his application to business ;
and if he did not absolutely cheat, he made
what are called ‘pretty tight b:trg:iins,’——
‘ IIard*nnd hottest,’ was his maxlin, which
some think means ‘hardly honest.’
He soon acquired the reputation of :1 keen
money rnakiiig man. But making money
is not always making friends. At the end
often years, Mr. Ashton was a richer man
than his fri--ntl May; btit he was surprised
to find himself not so nitich respected or so
happy. He began to think there were some
things that money would not btiy.
‘ But I’ll see if it won't btiy me a wift-,’
said he. ‘I believe it’s living a bachelor
thit makes me so blue.’
worth having.
So he
as well try for a rich one. went
peeping around among the heir
ing doubting that a young lady who was an
other fine quality. It was n__ot long before
he fixed, his afiections (?)—-no. his thoughts,
on Miss Jemima
daughter of ’Sqiiire Wilkins. -It was no
the color of Jemima’s hair,’or the sparkle of
her eye, or the dimple of her checks that at-
tracted otir hero’s attention. Oh, no-—llIr.
matter of choosing a companion for life.—~
It was well that he forgot to look for graces
of mind or person ; forthat young lady was
scantly entlowed. But then she had ‘ten
thousand charms’ in the shape of good hard 3
dollars, and that was enough for Ashton.-—
He was the richest young man in the vil-
loge ; and that was enough for Jemima. So
the bargain was struck up in a trice. and no
time lost in moonlight sernades, and no mo-
ney wasted in rides and presents; ’ ,
This interesting couple was tried, and
took possession of a nice new h use, full of
nice new,-furniture; and settled themselves
down to getas much comfort as empty heads
and empty hearts, with a full purse, could
give. _,
Here we will leave them in the full glory
of the honey moon, to look after our friend
Frank May. Let us see what the lapse of
ten years did for him. He was not a whit
behind Ashton in industry and activity, and
he reaped the final rewards of present com-
forts and prospective plenty. Though, as
he told his friend, he meant to acquire
wealth, it was not for his own sake but for
the banefit of others. It was good proof of
his sincerity that he did not defer doing good
till the time should arrive when he could
call hitnselfrich. He knew that if he did
not form the habit now. he would not have
the heart to do it hereafter. He knew, and
what is better he felt, that no one should live
to himst-lf——not even a young man, just set-
-ting out in the world, who has his fortune
to build up with his own hands. Heearly
came to the conclusion that he had four
things to attend to in this life. viz. his own
spiritual and temporal welfare, and the tern-
lle inanners.
Now it never occurred to our friend, that were at rest yeti w
a wife who could be bougltt might not be some; yet

fr'id, ‘ you are welcome to your brooks &

‘hough Charles spoke so gaily as he

One evening Frank and Mary had been
ng“wal’k, (it was a bright nicoti-
of course.) and they reached
liomejust as the village clock struck nine;
They stopped before ‘the little gate, A which
was fastened with a string. ' '
‘Mary,’ said Frank, as
to undo the string.
‘ ‘Well.’
‘I have been thinking, Mary,--hem-—’
here stopped, and worked aivaysonie sec-

knot, I suppose. * _
‘I have been thinking,’ he began again ;
and then he waited so long, that Mary won-

‘I have been thinking. ‘Mary. that.’--85
he had new advanced one word farther, he
would‘ probably have got out the whole

who had been sitting at the wiitdovv, and
seeing Frank working so long over the gate.
the kind officious old lady must come out to
‘see what was the matter with that are string.’
So Mary was left to finish the sentence ac-
cording to the dictates ofher own‘ feelings or
imagination. But Frank tookthe more sat-
isfactory method-oi finishing it -on paper.
How the sentence really ended. may be
infered from the fact, that the next week
Frank was bustling about with an extra gleam
of satisfaction on his countenance, mak-
ing preparations for building a house.
A light heart makes light work. In an in-
credible short time he had finished one of
the prettiest cottages you ever saw. It was
painted white, with green blinds, and a per.
ticb all around. It stood far from the road to
allow of a large garden, which was enclosed
by a white fence, with a little gate fastened
by astring. Behind the house, Lat seine

even l"t’tltl rcqticsted the Christians to pray
that it might be given himjtvill be illustrated
by it sittglt! anecdote. When President of
Princeton College he visited England for
the purpose of obtaining donations for the
institution. The King (George II.) had it
curiosity to bear a preacher from “the wilds
of America.” He accordingly attended, and
was so -- struck with his commanding elo-
quence, that he expressed his astonishment
loud enough to be heard half way over the
house, in such terms as these: “ He is a
wonderful man l” “Why he beats my Bish-
ops! &.c.” Davies, observed that the King
was attracting more attention than himself,
paused, and looking his majesty full in the
face, gave him, in an emphatic tone, the fol-
lowing bcauti'ul rebuke: “When tke Lion
roareth, let the beasts ofthe forest tremble:
and when the Lord speaketh, let the Kings
of the Earth keep silence.” The King in-
stantly shrunk back in his seat, likeaschool
boy that had been wra_pped over the head by
his master: and reinained quiet during the
remainder of the sermon. The next day
the Monarch sent for him, and gave liitn
fitfty guineas; for the institution over which
he presided, observing at the same time to
his courtiers: “He is an honest man——»an
honest man.” .Not one of his silken Bish-
ops would have dared to have given him such
a reproof;-—Protest;(t.nt I1e7°ald.

I don’t know how it is,” soliloquized a
drunken’ loafer, at the corner of Anthony
street. “I know it is, but it seems to -me
there is the thunderingest hopping round of
things to night that I ever did see; even the
meeting houses is dancing jigs; and the
moment I lets go of this post, up jumps the
side walk, and hits me an almighty dig in
the forehead. It won’: do—I wants to go
home to Susan, but Iain afraid to; stir-it’s
as much as my life's worth. And then if I
did get home to her, sh'e’d hit me me a dig

and it's all over my clothes—-and ‘I knows

Mr Giddings offered a series of resolu-
tions declaring that slavery being an in-
fringement of the natural rights of man can
only exist by force or positive municipal
law ; that the States reserved to themselves
the power over slavery when they formed
the Constitution; that when a ship leaves
the territory of a State, the laws of that State
cease to operate on it, and it is under the ju-
risdiction of the United States ; this was the
case with the brig Creole ; that the persons
on board thereof in obtaining their natural
rights violated no law of the United States
and incurred no legal penalty; that all at-
tempts to outlaw said persons are unwarran-
ted by the Constitution and laws ofthe Uni-
ted States, and incompatible with our nation-
al honor ; and that all attempts to exercise
national influence in favor of the coast slave
trade are unauthorized by the Constitution,
Sec. [These resolutions lead to a rather
warm discussion, and retaliatory movements,
and Mr Giddings was induced to move a
postponement of the whole matter, but the
House adjourned without action on the nio-
tion.] , ' .
