TUB GRJkVB OF THOSE WB LOVE* Tho grave is the ordeal of true affection. It Is there tho divine passion of lbs soul manifests its su periority to the instinctive impulses of mere animal attachment. The latter must be continually refresh, cd and kept alive by the presence of Its object; but the love that is seated in the soul can live on long re membrance. The mere inclinations of eense lan gulsh j *nd_decl|no,wiib tho charm* which excited them, and turn with shuddering and disgust,from tho dismal precincts of tho tomb; but If is thence that truly spiritual affection rises purified frbm every . sensual desire, and returns, like a;h6ly flame, to illumine and sanctify the heart of the sur vivor. • ' ’• The sorrow for tho dead is the only sorrow from which we refuse to bo divorced. Every other wound we seek to lic«(—every other affection to forget; but this wound wo consider it a duly to keep open—this affection we brood over in solitude. Where is the mother who would willingly forget the infant that perished like a blossom from her arms, thoogh every recollection is n pang 7 Where is the child who would willingly forget the most tender of .parents, though but to remember bo but to lament 7 Who, even in'tha hour of agony, would -forget tho friend over whom ho mourns 7 Who, even when the tomb is closing upon, the remains of her he most loved, when he feels his heart as it were, crushed in the closing-of Us portal, would accept of consolation that must be bought by forgetfulness 7 No—tha love which survives tho tomb Is ono of (he noblest attributes of tho sdul. If it has wees, It hus likewise its delights j and when the overwhelm mlng burst of grief is calmed Into', the gentle tear of recollection—when the audJen anguish and'tho convulsive agony over, (he prosonj rufnS, of all lliai yei mod lovesf, is softened away Into pensive modi* taUoiWin ail {hat ll Was in the days of Us loveliness/ vjho would root out such a sorrow from the heart? Though ){ may sometimes throw a passing cloud over (no bright- hobr 6f gklcly/of a deepcf sadness ever tho hour of gloom, yet vvhtf wobfd ex* change it oven for the song of pleasure, or the burst of revelry 7 No, there Is a toido from the tomb sweeter thin song. There id a remembrance of tho dead ip which we turn even from tho fchtrmi of the living. ' Oh, the grave I It burice every error—covcre ev* tory defect, extinguishes every resentment I From Us pcsosfui bosom spring none but fund regrets and tender recollections. . Who can look down upon the grave even of an enemy, and not feel a compunctious throb, that he should over have warred with (ho poor handful of earth that lice beneath him. But the grave of those wo love—what a place of meditation I There it Is that we call up in long ro* view (ho whole history of virtue and gentleness, and the thousand endearments lavished upon us almost unheeded in the daily intercourse ofintimaey ; there it it that the tenderness, the solemn, awful tonder< ness of the parting scene, (be bed of death J with oil Us stifled grief! its noiseless attendance I its mute, watohfhl assidutica! the last testimonial of expiring love! the feeble, fluttering, thrilling—oh! how thrilling—pressure of the hand! the last fond leek ef the gazing eye, turning upon ua even from the tbrcohhold of existence I the faint, faltering ac cents, struggling In death to give one more aieu ranee of afleollon. ' 4 Ay, go to llie grave of burled love, and meditate 1 There leltle the account with thy condolence for ev* try past omlearmenl unregarded, of that departed eoing, who onanever, never return to be soothed by the contrition. If thou art a olilld, and hast ever added a aerrow to the aoul, or a furrow toltbe ailvered brow of on af. reottonate parent—if thou art a huaband and hail ever paused the fond bosom Inal ventured ila whole ‘.•PP 1 . 0 ” 1 * n efroe, to doubt for one moment of tby kindnaia or thy truth { Jfthou art a friend (hat " , I , { wronged, in thought, or word, or deed, the spirit that goneroualy confided In thee—if thou art * lover, and boat over given one unmerited pang to that true heart which now Ilea cold and atm be. neath thy feel, then be aure that every unkind look, every uogracioua word, every ungentle aollon will coma thronging back upon thy memory, knocking dolefully at thy aoul—then be aura that thou wilt lie down, aorrowing and repentant,on the grave, and utter the unheard groan, and pour out the unheard and unavailing. Then weave the chaplet of flowara, and alraw tho beautioi of nature about the grave; ooniolo thy bro* ken apirlt, if thou eanat, and take warning by the bitterneae of lltit, thy contrite affliction over the dead, and henoaforlh bo moro faithful and affectionate in the discharge of thy dutloa to ihoUvjug.

I was then in mjr twenty second year. When the ship cast off from the wharf, in Scotland, and swung round with the breeze, my father stood upon the. shore. He wateil a last adieu, and declaimed, 11 Remember the Sabbath day.**.

In 1794, we had no water but from pumps; no hacks nor livery stables; only three hundred cart men ; tho wheels of their carts were made of heavy timber. Iron tires wero by a law of (he Corpora tion, prohibited, fearing they would injure tho pave ments, or arouse the sleeping Dutch burooinsstofs in their afternoon siesta; The cuibstones were made of Wood, as (Pul would say.) The only theatre stood in John street, whore now stands Thorburn's seed ■tore. ]n those days no man road an American book. Irving, Paulding, and Cooper, wore not up'that mor ning. No man looked on an American coin; Span, iah dollars, halves, quarters, and eights, constituted our circulating medium, with New York Corpora tion bills, from one penny to twelve.

After a good din ner, at bis hotel, he ignited a cigar, and started for a stroll. After a few steps, a policeman tapped him on the shoulder, and informed him that the penally was two dollars for.the offence of smoking. Ho promptly palled out a five dollar bill, and received a three in change. Proceeding on his walk, inafew minutes, ho next met a beggar girl, who asked for something lo eat. Recollecting that he had the remainder of a hunk of gingerbread, the particular diet of Hoosiorland, in his pocket, he generously proffered it to the mendicant.

Hints to Youno Men.—One of tho most dis agreeable characters on oarlh is that of the grasp ing, avaricious, penurious man. Generosity is perfectly compatible with economy; and the most noble-hearted, generous men, who do so much to benefit mankind, obtain means, net by close fisted penuriousness but by economy. Tho distance is not greater beneath thu zenith and the nadir, than the covetous and economical man—the first ban ishes, oyery just.and honorable feeling from hia heart, vihilo the latter fosters and ministers te them all. 1 The Affections.—' There Ib a famous passage In tho writings of Rousseau, that groat delineator of (ho human heart, which is os true to human nature •s it is beautiful in expression t “Were I in a deserl, I would find out wherewith in it (o onll forlh my of. feolioae. If 1 could do no better, 1 would fasten them on aomo sweet myrtle, or some melancholy cy press to connect myself to, i would court them fyj their shade, and greet them kindly fat their protec tion. I would write my name upun (hem, and ds olare that they were the sweetest trees throughout all tho desert. If (heir loaves withered, 1 would teach myself to mourn snd when they rejoiced I would rejoloo along with them.” Such ia (he abso lute necessity which'exists in the human heart of having something (a love.
