To young men the study of such a life as that i of Amos Lawrence ma of signal, advantage. Whether we consider `n Mthe light of a man of business, ascitiaen, aitighbor", as one of the great beneNtoters of his age; or, as a matt of high moralciple and strict piety, his life is calculated toad, any young man to admire and copy. Nor should good influence be confined to young men, forweothall see that he labored as anxiously for the welfare of his sisters, as for his brothers; for young women, as for ybung men. Amos Lawrence was of English descent. His ancestor, John Lawrence, was an inhabi tant of Watertown, near Boston, as early a -1635, and he, probably, came over in the eom ploy with Governor 'Winthrop, in 1630, th. same year that the town of Boston was settled. He soon after%moved to Groton, where Arno: Lawrence *as lion, April 22d, 1786. In early life, like many other great and good men, he was much indebted to a mother a in struction. In reference to this instruction, Mr, L. says in , his. Diary, "The correct lessons given by the mother in the nursery, are as necessary to give the right inclination to the tender mind, as are those ;the tutor in the highest semi nary to prepare it for the business of life and intellectual greatness. In my own case, all the duties, incumbent on a mother to teach her off spring to be good, and, consequently, great, were discharged with fidelityand soedees,' Both parentslired to see inthe subject of their care, all that they could reasonably hoPe or desire." ne'fiimes in whieb Mr. L. lived. were tifyitig times. In a letter to a friend, written in 1849, he says, "My father belonged to a company, of minitte-tnen, In Groton, at the commencement of the• Revolution. On the morning of the 19th of April, 1715, when the news reached: town that the British troops were On the road from Boston, General Prescott, who was a neighbor; cattle towards the Muse, on horse-haek,.at pid•epeed, and cried, out, "Samuel, notify your men.._ The British are coming.” -My_ father mounted the General's horse, rode a dietanee of tfeten miles, notified the men of his circuit, and was back again at his lather's in forty mi nutes. He was in the battle of Bunker Hill, received a bullet through his cap, which cut his hair from front to rear; received a spent grape shot upon his arm, without breaking the bone, and lost a.large number of men." A word more should be said here about his mother; because a mother's heart is now yearn ing over many a young man in this assembly. Mr. L. always spoke in the strongest terms of veneration of his mother; and, in many of his let-' ters are found messages of affection, such as could , have emanated only from a heart overflowing with filial gratitude. He says, "Her form bend log over our bed, in silent prayer, at the hour of twilight, when she was about leaving us far the night, is still among the earliest recollec tions of her children: She was a woman well. fitted to train a family for the troubled times in which she lived. To the kindest affections and sympathies, she united energy and decision; and, in her household, enforced thatstrict and' unhesitating unhesitating discipline, which she considered as' the foundation of all godless in the education of children. She was never idle.' *Many hears each day she passed at the hand-loom, and the: htim of the almost obsolete spinning -wheel comes over the memory like the remembrance of a pleasant, but half forgotten melody." The first public instruction Mr, Lawrence re oeived was at the district school kept in Gro- , ton. It may here be stated that public schools were established in Massachusetts earlier than in any other State. Mr. Lawrence, from child hood, possessed a very feeble'constitution, and on this account, he was often detained from school. In these detentions he never allowed himself to be idle. From his earliest years he exhibited that same spirit of industry which crowned his after life with success. Ho came nearer to . Benjamin Franklin, in industry, than any other man now in my recollection. You know bow it was with Franklin in this respect. In whatever station he was placed, from that of a tallow chandler, or an apprentice to an elder brother, or a stranger,penniless and friendless in -the streets of Philadelphia, or a workman among the beer topers of London, up to the Postmaster General of the U. S., Minister Ple nipotentiary to'Fore)gn Powers, and a member of the Royal Academy of Arts and Sciences in the most polished nation on earth; or in play ing with the electric fluid of heaven, and ren dering it harmless; in 'all of these, the most rigid temperance, and the strictest economy characterized Franklin. This made him what be was, the man of his age. The same may be said In regard to temperance, economy, and in &ary of Amos Lawrence. In a letter to his son, at Groton, written in 1839, referring to his own childhood, he says: "The beautiful images of early life come up in these bright moonlight nights, the like of which I used to enjoy in the fields below our old mansion, when I was sent to watch the cattle. There I studied astronomy to more account than ever afterward, for the heavens were impressive teachers of the good ness of that Father who is ever near to each one of. His. children. May you never lose sight of this truth, and so conduct yourself that at any moment you may be ready to answer when he calls." From the district school he entered Groton Academy. But he passed only a few months here, and then he was placed in a small store in the town of Dunstable. Soon be was transferred to the store of Mr. Brasier, in Gro ton, his native'town. 'Mr. Brasier kept several clerks but so active was young Lawrence, and so reliable, that in less than two.'years the whole responsibility of the establishment rested upon him. The quantity of rum and brandy sold at this country , store would. surprise the tomPe ranee men of modern times. Grog was dis pensed everyday at eleven and four o'clock. For a short time, young Lawrence drank with the . others, but finding the desire for it increasing upon him, he made up his Mind to stop drink ing altogether. He welt knew the ridicule be should meet with, and which he did meet *ith, fora time, yet he was still firm in the resolution of total abstinence. • Manly years afterwards he wrote to a student in college, as follows, respecting this resolution : "Di the first place, take this for your motto, at the commencement of your journey, that the difference of going just right, or a little wrong, will be the difference of finding yourself in good quarters, or in a miserable bog or slough at the 'end of it. Of the whole number - educated in the Groton stores for 'some years before and after- myself, no one else, to my knowledge, escaped' the bog or slough; and my escape I trace to the simple fact of my having . put a re straint upon my appetite. We five hoys were in the habit, every forenoon, of making a dthik compounded of rum, raisins, anger, nutmeg, &c.,_ with biscuit—all palatable to eat ' and drink. After being in the store four week's, I found myself admonished by my appetite of the approach of the hour of indulgepee. I then declined partaking with„them.„, I resolved ; to abstain for the rest of my,apprenticeship,,Whjoh was five years. During that period I never drank a spoonful, though I mixed gallons for my master' and his customers. I decided not to be a slave to tobacco in any forth, though I loved-the odor of it even then; and even now have in my drawer a superior Havana eigatgiven me not o .long since by a friend, butiiitly it smell of. I have never *in my life smorkar, PeYfinbewed but °tie quid, and theoWaTbcfore ' was fifteen, and never took an ounce,oquuff, though the scented rappee of forty yeattngo , had great charms for me. Now I say t this 1 simple factlif sittrting just right am I WIWI!, 1 with God's4ble -; 0 - on my labors, for my pre sea position,i as that of the nitmerous r/ '7 - connections s "'g n around me. ...I have li t many 4,0 , thit ~ o'appear aaplall tame as suni ' lik t ;by whietili:Voittc ate connected to et, a' , wlich have eof to re sults that cal Von me to bress the Lord for all His bertets, and to user the opportunities, thus permittpno me, in cheering on the generation of young men who have claims upon my sympa thies as relations, fellow-townsmen, or brothers; on a more enlarged scale." Probably, no man ever did more for his relations, his townsmen, or his brethren in the coinulunity. I mean no private citizen. .His relatives were mostly poor. He was the means of making them rich, and of elevating thern to high posts of influ ence and honot. For young, men,.as you. see in the above extract, he ever cherished the kindest feeling*, and..pttforth the most bene . - r ' volent efforts for` - their goed. About the Aim period he wrote to another yonng man t "When I look back I can - trace the mai) n s which happened at your age, as havin:- influence upon all the • after things." , t, How little young' men consider w ertnomen-' tons consequences follow what they, call little il affairs of early life. They often seem' igno rant of the little cause of momentous : as as the unconscious infant, Moses, was o ar upon his cheek, when the princess o ypt opened the bulrush ark, in which he had been set afloat. That tear excited the compassion of the princess, and the result was, the learned, mighty prophet, liberator, and lawgiver Mr. L. •war very particular in. setting before the young the finger ,of God in the smallest events ;"and, perhaps, theieis no one thing that should more deeply excite their attention. As above said, with him, all depended upon start ing just_ right. - , If every young man that comes into this city were to realize this; as be did, bow , many more such "merchant prince,s," as he was, would Philadelphia soon have ? How many more than she now has, or, probably, ever will haver He says in another place, "Many of the far mers, mechanics, and apprentices of that, day, (referring to the time when 'he was an appren tice,) have filled drunkards' graves, and left destitute familtes and friends." What A, con trast betwaeh them and him, and all owing to • his having started just . right, they ; a little wrong. AOnee - the 22d of 4pril, 18M', W. • bpdme A lUD -IX • • •• • . • • ;• • day. Seven days site; he tocik his father'e horse and dbaise, and' engaged a neiglillor ti drive him to Boston, with, as ho said man years afterwards, "only twenty dollars in hie. pocket." What, a contrast to the millions tha he afterwards possessed ! Bat a few day= elapsed after his arrival in Boston before he received the-offer of a clerkship in a respectabl house, which he accepted. So well satisfied were , his employers, that in a few months they offered to receive their new clerk into the firm. This proposition, to their great surprise, he de= dined. The reason of this declination was, the business, in his judgment, was, not conducte' upon correct principles. The insolvency of the firm, in a few months, showed his Sagacity, an demonstrated the correctness of his principles. But so much confidence had the creditors in his integrity and business tact, that they appointee him to settle their affairs, which he did to thei entire satisfaction. In 1849, Mt. L. wrote to Mr. Whitney, then Brigadier General of the U. S. Army, "I have just looked into my - first'sales' book, and therw, seen the entries -made by yon more than forty. years ago. Ever since, you have been going up, from the cornet of, dragoons to your pre sent station. Abbot, who took your place, is now the Representative of his country, at the court of St. James." Abbot was, his younger brother, who came into his employ — when only fifteen years of age. Many of the old merchants of Philadelphia knew him well. He posse - ssed a firmer constiz tntion, and mingled more with the, political world than Amos, 'and . hence, was, probably, more widely known; but the foundation of his greatness was laid by the subject of this me moir. Of the manner in which Mr. L. occupied hina. self, when not in business, he wrote to his son; in 1832: "When 1 first came to this city I took lodgings in the family of a widow who had commenced keeping boarders for a living.. I was one of her first; sand she wits iitclinedV, adopt any 'rules for the - boarders that pre scribed. 'The only one I ever made was, thlit after supper, all the boarders that remitifiedle the public room should be quiet, at least, for one hour, to give those who chose to study, or read, the opportnatty of doing M witlioqf tarbones. The consequence was that we had the most quiet and improving set of yoang men in the town. The few who did not wish to comply with the regulation, went abroad after tea,-.sometimes to the theatre, sometimes to other places but, to a man, became bankrupt in after life, not in fortune only, but in reputa tion, also.; while a majority of the other class sustained good characters; and some are now living who are ornaments to society, and fill im portant stations. The influence of this small measure will, perhaps, be felt through genera tions. It was not less favorable on myself than on others." Another item, of the utmost importance to a business man, was very prominent in the con duct of Mr. LaWrence. He was remarkable, through life, for the most, punctilious, exactness in all matters relating to business. He wrote to a friend: "And, now, having the power to do it, at the present moment, and not having the assurance that I shall be able to do it the next hour, I will , state that, I practised upon the maxim, 'business before friends,' from the commence ment 'of ilicy,.course, During the . first seven, years of rey,busineas , in. this city, I never, al lowed a bill against me to stand unsettled over the Sabbath. If the purchase of goods was made, at auction, on Saturday, and delivered to• me, I always examined and settled the bill by note or crediting it, and having it clearso that in case I was not on duty, on IViouday, there would be no trouble for my boys—thus keeping the business before me, instead of allowing it to drive me." HOW .many merchants in tbiscity„-how many in alt ,great commercial. cities, bad they pursued.this plan, would have been in very dif ferent circumstances from what they now are. Reresence lawaiready been bad to - the interest Mr. Tawrenoe-manifested for his sistirli wet: fare. Let us pursue this thought. a little far ther. During the same month in which he commenced business for himself, he opened a correspondence with one of his sisters, then a mere child, in the following manner: "DEMI E.:—Although the youngest, you are no less dear to me than the other sisters. To you, therefore, I ought to be as liberal in affording pleasurej as to S. and M., and if there is any be nefit resulting froth my letters, you have a claim to it as well as`they. From these consideratidns, and with the hope.that you will write tonie when ever you can do so with convenience, I have he -gun a correspondence which I hope will end only with life. 'f be able to write a handsome letter is certainly a very great accomplishment, and can be best attained by practice; and, if you now be gin, I have no hesitation in saying, that, by the time you are sixteen, you will be mistress of a haittdsonae style, and thrice the quantity of ideas you would otherwise possess by omitting "this part of education." Here we find not only his frater nal affection for this young sister, but an, effort Made to remove that great "bug-bear" Which, every young girl sees, when she attempts to write, or cbwpose. Every young lady who. will try, will find the remarks of Mr: L. true-=" that in a short time she will be possessed of 'a good style, and thrice the amount of ideas she would otherwise possess." ' A young'lady who attended my school several, years "since, made many excuses against writing. She could not do it. She had no ideas . . She was induced to try. She did so. She suc ceeded; and now, for several years, she has been one of the most sensible , and polished female wr 4 iters of the 'age. I say, heh, from a x long, ex usilikAcfer.f ypt n g w 9934 4 - 1 .7 begin by i is v'ort yoni while.; awl you, will suceeedi To another sister,- who; had kindly admonished him upon the subject of religion about this periedi he wrote,,(tind I wish every brother,'; every young man in this city whir has a pions sister at home, imuld'hear `and heed his'reply to that sister's ad- Monitien 04-" From You, my dear sister, the in junctien not to forget the duties of religion comes with, peculiar;grace.

Not having `committed an offence, I can grant yeti no paitlan; but my thankal can give, which you will accept, with injtinCtion never to withhold any caution or ad- Vice which you may think necessary orbeneficial." How many brothers have received' the tender, af r feetionate cautions and admonitions of sisters, at home in a very different spirit from that of Areal Lawrencel How many sons, even, have received the kind advice of:mothers, and cast it :behind them, with scorn ! Mr. Lawrence early formed certain principled in_ the management of his business afraira, to which:lf& i'igidly adhered as long 'as he lived He writen.=--."

I made about fifteen:hundred dollara the first year, and more than four thousand the se, cond. Probably had I made four-thousand,.the first year, I should have failed the second,or third." After the Madisonian war closed in 1815, imme-' diately upon this peace, the junior partner, Ab bot L., left for England. On the' eve of his de-; .parture he received from his *brother and scramr a letter containing many good counsels for ,his fn ture moral guidance. In this letter he says, "Asps first and leading•principle, let every transaction be of that pare and hottest character that you would not be ashamed to have appear before the whole world as clearly as to yourself. You are yoUng, and the course of life 'seems open and pleasant pl'ospeets greet your ardent= hopes: but you must , remember that the race is not always to the swift; and that, however flattering may lx your pros pects, and *ever zealously youmayseek-pleasure; rin OA-1411QVG- fiactit except . • principles and - p7rabrialig right conduet. My heart is full on this subject, my dear brother e and it is the only one on which I feel the least anxiety." Happy and fortunate is that younger brother who has such an elder one. Amos wrote many letters to his brother Abbot while he was absent; but the love of them all was similar to iliat you have just heard. Mr. L. was peculiarly happy in his social relations. A few days after the birth of a daugh ter, he wrote to a friend as follows: "I. alit the richest man, I suppose, on this side of the'water, and the richest because. lam the happiest. On time 23d ultimo I was blest by the birth of a fore little daughter. This, as. you may well „suppose, has filled our hearts with joy._ I wish you were a married man. I have lately thought more than ever of your settling soon. It is very dangerous deferring making a connexion till a late period— for, a man is in more and more of not, form ing one, the longer be puts it. Off; and any man who does not form this connexion grossly tuiscal culates in the use of the means which "God. has given him to supply •himself with. pleasures in . the down-bill journey of life. Every man's best plea sures should be at home; for there, is the sphere for, the exerpise of his-best virtues, and. he - should be particularly careful in the selection of a.partner to get one who . will jeopardize neither.". Thus the young men of this association may see that Mr. L , like Benjamin Franklin, again, ad vocated early marriages, and re-echoed the senti ments of Dr. Young, in his "Night Thoughts:" "The first sure symptom of a mind in health, Is rest at heart arid pleasure felt at home." , His Christian resignation is expres.sed in a let ter to a friend, written during the last hours of his,' wife's life—q The Lord reigns; let us re joice." He had the greatest of, all consolations in - her death—,-.her entire resignation to the will of Cod: Among her last words were: 4 t.1 am in eestacies of love. How can I praise Him enough?"' To a friend-,- a few days after her death, Mr. L. wrote—" It was my r privilege to..witness the closing scene, to behold faith triumphing over sense, and raising the soul above this world of ,shadows.. It was a speetacia:toconvince . the skeptic anT tO mate 'and confirm p the Christian." (Conel,ucfe,cl next week.) , EB,ENOR, We-tranSfer: to our columns the following letter of the "World's Paris correspondent, that our readers maybe acquainted with the staid`of public opinion in France' upon .the questions now agita ting our countrs. Paris, Jan. 17th, 1861. I simply ,do my duty as a correspondent. in keeping you informed of ,the state .of-European opinion on the present state of American politics. Its unanimity is remarkable. I give you the,fol lowing extracts from iecent French journals; as specimens of the entire press of France; so far as I know, with the exception of the Pays, edited,by Granier de Cassagnac, who wrote a book in favor of slavery in 1848. The most important imperialist journal in France, nest to the :I_lloniieur,"is the Come' tution nel. t closes an article on the American question as follows : After following fora long time au mere-aching policy, the South, declares itself threatened before it is attacked, and secedes from the Union, which has committed no other wrong towards it than that orconstitutionally electing a Prealdent,repre senting the,opinions of an immense majority. For We must once more remark that the, election, of 'Mr. Lincoln did not signify the abolition of. `slavery, but, simply a firni resolie to prevent its unliinited extension. All the northern states, with one solitary'exception, were unanimous in saying to the Smith : You have carried your conquests far enough; you shall not go farther," without the least intention of assailing any acquired rights. This legitimate expression . of the determination 'af the North, which had so far been muchtteo pa tient, nevertheless sufficed to irritate the-South to 'such a degree as to make it throw _all moderation to the winds, and rush headlong into the most revolutionary courses. It would appear that slavery is tiot.the.only motive for,the projects-at separation: The 'South likeWiae considers its-in terests sacrificed, in-idle . customs, tariffs, to those of the northern manuacturersi it has long pro tested against-the protiotionist policy imposed on the states of the confedlratiOn. It hopes to enjoy the advantage of less f i Stricted and more direct commercial intercourse .. .Lb the nations of Europe. These ideas must hay exercised an important influence "'on the prole* which South Carolina has begun to carryl , ,,lato effect. The slavery question has, -howevinvalways held the foremost place in the preient •exi:sis.
