EARLY SEEK AND EARLY FIND.
BY WILLIS GAYLORD CLARK.
“I love them that love me; and those that seek
me early shall find me.”— Proverbs 8: 17.
Come, while the blossoms of thy years are brightest,
Thou youthful wanderer in a flowery maze —.
Come, while the restless heart is bounding lightest,
And joy’s poor sunbeams tremble in thy ways;
Come, while'.sweet thought, like summer buds un-
folding,
- Waken rich feelingsfin the careless breast,
While yet thy hand the ephemeral wreath is hold
ing*
Come, and secure interminable rest.
Soon will the freshness 6*f thy days be oyer,
And thy free buoyancy of soul be flowni-
Pleasure will fold her wings—and friend and lover
* Will to the embraces of the worm have gone! •
Those who now love .thee, will have passed forever,
Their looks of kindness will be lost to thee —
Thou wilt need a balm to heal thy spirit’s fever,
As thy sick heart broods over years to be!
Come, while the morning of thy life is glowing —
Ere the dim phantoms thou art chasing^die —
Ere the gay spell, which earth is round thee throw
ing*
Fades like the crimson from a sunset sky.
Life is but shadows, save but a promise given,
That lights the future with a fadeless ray —
Come —touch the win a hope in heaven;
Come, turn thy spirit from this world away.
Then will the shadow of this brief existence
Seem airy nothings to thine ardent soul—
And shining brightly in the forward distance,
Will, of thy patient race, appear the goal,
Home of the weary —where, in peace reposing,
The spirit lingers in unclouded bliss
Though o’er the dust the curtained grave is closing.
Who would not, early, choose a lot like this.
BENEVOLENCE,
A benevolent man was Absalom Bess—
At each and every tale of distress
He blazed right up like a rocket;
He felt for all beneath poverty's smart,
Who were fated to bear life’s roughest part, —
He felt for them in his inmost heart,
* But never felt in his pocket,
He didn’t knew rightly what was meant
By the bible’s promised four hundred per cent.,
For charity’s' each donation;
But he acted as if he thought railroad stocks,
And bonds secure beneath earthly locks,
Were better, with pockets brim full of rocks,
Than heavenly speculation.
Yet all said he was an excellent man;
For the poor he’d preach, for the poor he’d plan
To better them he was willing;
But the oldest man who had heard him pray,
And preach for the poor in a pitiful way,
Could hardly remember him rightly to say
Mr. Bess had e’er given a shilling.
Oh, an excellent man was Absalom Bess,
And the world threw up its hands to bless
"Whenever hiß name was mentioned ;
But "he died one day, he did, and oh !
He went right down to the shades below,
Where all are bound, I’m afraid, to go,
Who are only good intentioned.

The Discovery
HI THOMAS HOOD.
“It's a nasty evening.” said Mr. Dornton, the
retired stock-broker, as he settled himself in the
last inside place of .the last Fulham coach, driven
by our friend Mat—an especial friend in need, be
it remembered, to the fair sex.
“I wouldn't be outside. 1 ' said Mr. Jones, another
stockbroker, “ for a trifle.' 1
“Nor as a speculator in options," said Mr. Par
sons, another frequenter of the alley.
“I wonder what Mat is waiting for." said Mr.
Tidwell, “for we are full inside and out."
Mr. Tidwell's doubt was soon solved—the coach
door opened, and Mat somewhat ostentatiously
inquired, what indeed he very well knew—“ I be
lieve every place is took up inside?”
“We are all here," answered Mr. Jones, on be-
half of the usual complement of old stagers.
“I told you so, Ma'am,” said Mat to a female
who stood beside him, but still leaving the door
open to an invitation from within. However,
nobody spoke—on the contrary, 1 felt Mr. Hind
mars, my next neighbor, dilating himself like the
frog in the fable.
“I don't know what I shall do," exclaimed the
woman, “Tv* nowhere to go to, and it's raining
cats and dogs.
“You'd better not hang about anyhow," said
Mat—“for you may ketch your death—and I am
the last coach—aint I Mr.'Jones?”
“To be sure you are,”;said Mr. Jones, rather
impatiently, “shut the door.”
“I told the lady the gentlemen couldn't make
room for her,” answered Mat, in a tone of apology.
“I'm very sorry, my dear," turning towards the
female, “you should have my seat, if you could
hold the ribbons—but such a pretty one as you
ought to have a coach of her own.”
He began slowly closing the door.
“Stop.;'Mat,'stop!” cried IvTr. Dornton, and the
door quickly unclosed again; “I can't give up my
place, for I am expected home to dinner; but if the
lady wouldn’t object to sit on my knees—”
“Not the least in the world,” answered Mat,
eagerly, “you won’t object, will you maam, for
once in a way, with a married gentleman, and a
wet night, and the last coach on the road?”
“If I thought I shouldn’t uncommode,” said the
lady, precipitately furling her umbrella, which she
handed in to one gentleman, whilst she favored
another with her muddy pattens. She then fol
lowed herself, Mat shutting the door behind her in
such a manner as to help her in. “I’m sure I’m
much obliged for the favor,” she said, looking
round, “but which gentleman was so kind?”
“It was I who had the pleasure of proposing,
' Madam,” said Mr. Dornton, and before he had
pronounced the last words, she was in his lap,
with an assurance that she would sit as lightsome
as she could. Both parties seemed'very well
pleased with the arrangement; but Jo judge ac
cording to the rules of Lavater, the rest of the
company were but ill at ease. For my own part,
I candidly confess I was equally out of humor
with myself and the person who had set-me such
an example of gallantry. 1, who had read the
lays of Troubadours —the awards of the “Court of
Love”—the lives of the “preux Chevaliers”—the
history of Sir Charles Grandison—to be outdone
in courtesy, to the sex by a married stockbroker!
How 1 grudged him the honor she conferred upon
him—how I envied his feelings!
I did not stand alone, I suspect, in this unjustifi-
able jealousy; Messrs. Jones, .Hindmars, Tidwell
and Parsons, seemed equally disinclined to forgive
the chivalrous act which 'had, as true knights,
lowered all our crests, and blotted our escutcheons,
and cut off our spurs. Many an unfair jibe was
launched at thfe champion of the fair, and when he
attempted to enter into conversation with the lady,
he was interrupted by incessant questions of.
t: What is stirring in the Alleys? ’ -What is doing
in Dutch ?” -How are the Rents?*’
To all these questions Mr. Dornton incontinently
returned business-like answers, accordirg to the
last Stock Exchange quotations; and he was in
the middle of an enumeration, that so and so was
very low, and this rather brisk; and that getting
up. and operations, and fluctuations, and so forth,
when somebody enquired about Spanish Bonds.
‘•They are looking up, my dear” answered Mr.
Dornton, seomewhat abstractedly, and before the
other stockbrokers were done tittering, the stage
! stopped. A bell was rung, and Mat stood beside
I the open coach door; a staid female in a
and clogs, with a lantern in her hand, came clat
tering pompously down a front garden.
! -Is Susan Pegge come?” inquired a shrill voice.
‘ Yes I be," replied the lady who ha'd been dry
nursed from town—•• are you ma am, number ten,
Grove Place?"
-This is Mr. Dornton's,” said the dignified wo
man "in the hood, advancing her lantern —“and—
mercy on us! you*re in master's lap!" -
A shout of laughter from five of the inside pas-
sengers corroborated the assertion, and like a literal
cat* out of the bag, the ci-devant lady, forgetting
her umbrella and her pattens, bolted out of the
coach, and with feline celerity rushed up the gar
den, and down the area of number ten.
“Renounce the woman!” said Mr. Dornton, as
he scuttled out of the stage—“ Why the devil didn t
she tell me she was the new cook ?"
The Bible.
The Bible is the treasure of the poor, the solace |
of the sick, and the support of the dying—and
while other books may amuse and instruct in a
leisure hour, it is the peculiar triumph of that
book to create light in the midst of darkness, to
alleviate the sorrow which admits of no other alle
viation, to direct a beam of hope to the heart, which
no other topic of consolation can reach—while
guilt, despair and death, vanish at the touch of this
holy inspiration. There is something in the spirit
and diction of the Bible which is found peculiarly
adapted to arrest the attention of the plainest and
most uncultivated minds. The simple structure of
its sentences, combined'iwith a lofty spirit ot poe
try—-its familiar allusions in the scenes of nature’
and the transactions of common life—intermixture
of narration with the doctrinal perceptive parts,
and the profusion of miraculous facts, which con
vert it into a sort ot enchanted ground, its constant
advertence to the Deity, whose perfections it ren
ders almost visible and pal; able, unite in bestowing I
upon it an interest which attaches to no other |
performance, and which, after assiduous and re
peated perusal, invests it with much of the charm
of novelty—like the great orb of day, at which we
are wont to gaze with unabated astouishmeiu from
infancy to old age. What other book beside the
Bible could be read in public assemblies from year
to year, with an attention that never tires, and an
interest that never cloys? With a few exceptions
let a portion of the sacred volume be recited in a
mixed multitude, and though it had been heard a
thousand times, a universal stillness ensues, every
ear awake and attentive. Select, if you can, any
other composition, and let it he rendered equally
familiar to the mind, and see whether it would
? produce this effect.
Don’t toe above your Business.
We do. not know that the tallowing anecdote,
told of John Jacob Astor, is true, but, truth or fic
tion. the moral it embodies is not the less apparent,
and we give it for the wholesome lesson it conveys :
u Do you ever credit, Mr. Astor T inquired Mr. K
<•1 do not credit strangers, sir," was the jepl
« unless they furnish satisfactory city references.”
•• Then,” quoth Mr. K., “ the skins I have selected
must suffice this time," and paying for the same he
Tii the afternoon of the same day, just before the
sailing of the New Bedford packet, the young tra
der returned for his lot of furs. Throwing the
whole pack on his back, he left the store, but had
not proceeded a dozen yards from the store when
Mr. A. called his name, bidding him comeback.
“Sir," said Mr. A. “you can have credit for any
amount of goods you require, provided they are to
be found in my store.”
“ But—" stammered Mr. K.,’ “but—my dear sir,
I-can give you no city references —I'm a stranger
! here.”
“I ask ncr other recommendation,” responded the
rich merchant, “ than that already furnished by
yourself. The man who is not above his business
need never hesitate to apply to John Jacob Astor. 1 ’
Thus commenced a trade between two merchants,
which was continued to the satisfaction and advan
tage of both of the ,r most eminent capitalists in
New Bedford.
Logic of Debt and Credit.
The Morning Chronicle has a long article on the
law of debtor and creditor. The essay is finely
conceived and logically conducted; imparting to
the trading world in general one unexpected com
fort. For instance, “at this moment,” credit is in
a most wholesome condition. Hear the Chronicle —
“At this moment, not less than nineteen shillings
in the pound of everybody's money is fructifying or
evaporating, as the casje may be, in the pockets of
somebody else.”
Now, as nineteen shillings in everybody's pound is
one in the pockets of somebody else, it follows that
everybody E must owe everybody nineteen shillings 5
and as everybody owes nineteen shillings, and
everybody has nineteen shillings to receive, why,
everybody, in fact, owes everybody nothing. —London
Punch.
Goon Hujaon.—Let us cherish good humor and
Christian cheerfulness. Let us endeavor to shake
off that sullenneßS which makes us so uneasy to
ourselves, and to all who are near to us. Pytha
goras quelled the perturbations of his mind by the
use of his harp. David's music calmed the dis-'
traction of Saul, and banished the evil spirit from
him. Anger, fretfulness, and peevishness prey
upon the tender fibres of our frame, and injure our
health.
The Grave.— -It buries every error-covers
every defect—extinguishes every resentment.—
From its peaceful bosom spiing none but fond
regrets and tender recollections. Who can look
down upon the grave of an enemy and not feel a
compunctious tlfrob that he should have warred
with the poor handful of earth that lies moulder*
\ ing before him.— lrving.

THE astonishing success of JOS. GORMELY,
in the CLOTHING BUSINESS, excites the
surprise of some and the envy and jealousy of
others His unparalleled success some attribute
to one cause, and some to another* And some,
more envious than the rest, attribute it to any cause
that best suits their purposes, no matter how unjust,
or how foul the misrepresentations. Again, there
Is another class more easily satisfied, and content
themselves bv saying—“ Well, it is all luck*—better
to be born'lucky' than rich. Born under a lucky
planet,” &c, “ Pshaw says Dr. Franklin, of luck,
all the luck I know of is iu proper management.”
Precisely so, Dr., and just the operating cause in
the extensive business done at the great LANCAS
TER HALL OF FASHIONS. The only secret in
this large business, and Uie only reason that it of
large, is because he is careful in the selection is
good materials, and has all his goods well made —
and then the fit ot his garments cannot be surpassed;
and are sold at prices that defy competition. This
is the cause of his astonishing success at the great

The Art-Union is established for the purpose of
extending a love for the fine arts throughout the
United States, and to give encouragement to Ar
tists beyond that afforded by the patronage of indi
viduals' Its promoters believe that these arts pan
never attain their dfle rank in this country (already
so far advanced in many of the other elements of
civilization) until adequate encouragement be given
to the highest efforts of the Painter and Sculptor.
For the accomplishment of this object, the Soci
! ety has adopted the following
PLAN :
1. Each subscriber of Five Dollars becomes a
member ot the Art-Union for one year.
W. 0. HICKOK.

The im.ney thus obtained is applied, first, to the
procuring of a large and costly Engraving, from an
original American Picture, of which every member
receives a copy ; and next, to the purchase of Pic
tures, Drawings, or other .works of Art, with the
funds distributed by lot among the members for
that purpose.
Thus, for the sum of Five Dollars, every member
is sure of receiving a fine Engraving (worth alone
the amount of his subscription) and the chance of
obtaining a fine original Painting, to be SELECTED
BY HIMSELF from any public exhibition in the
United States.
For further particulars call at the Painting Room
of the undersigned, where can be seen a specimen
of the engraving, and where subscriptions are re
ceived for-the same.,. A. ARMSTRONG.
