The Frass is just as green, Torn ; barre4(mted boys . at play. Were sporting, just as we did then, with spiritspi."-t ua guy, But the "Master" sleeps upon the hill, which, coa ted o'er with .now, Afforded us a sliding place, Just twenty• years ago. The old school-house is altered some; the benches are replaced, By new ones, very like the same our pen-knives had detheed. But the same old bricks - are in the wall ; the bell :.swia7,l; to end tro, Its music just the same, dear Tom, 'twas tweniy years ar.,o. EMI The boys were playing t.onie old game, beneath that ' Fame old tree; I do corget the name just now—you've played the same for me, On that same spot; 'twas played with knives, by throwim , ; ' so and so; The leader had a task to do—there, twenty ye'ars ago. The river's running just as still ; the willows on its side, Are larger than they were. Tom; the stream ap pears less wide-- But the grape-vine swing is ruined uow,where once / we played the beau. And swung our sweethearts—" pretty girls "—just twenty years ago. The, spring that bubbled 'neath Ihe hill, close by the spreading beech, Is very low--'twas once so high. that we could hardly reach; And, kneeling down to get a drink, dear Tom, I started so, To s ee how inuali that I had changed, since twenty -years ago 4. Near by the spring, upon au elm, you know 1 eta your name, your sweetheart's just beneath it, Toni, and von did mine the same; Some heartless wretch had peeled the bark, 'twos dying sure but slow, Just as that one, Wllo.e name yon eat, died -twenty years ago. My lids have long been dry, Toni., but tear- come in my eyes; I thought of her I loved so well—tho , e early bro ken hes; 1 ve.ited the old church-card, and took some flow ersjo strew rpori the rave- of those we love some twenty years ago. Some are in the church-ford laid—some sleep be neath the wt . .; But few are left of our old class, excepting you and me; And when ora time shall come, Tom, and we are called to go, I hope they'll lay its where we played, just twenty years ago. Young men in making choice of a pro fession or business, must be governed in a considerable degree by their particular tastes and talents, and in estimating thOtt there is no little danger of mistake. Twiiften have a strong inclination for some pursuit for which they have no qualifications. And fol lowing the inclination in such cases is a grand blunder. Thus there are many in the pulpit who were evidently intended for the plough or blacksmith's shops; while there are men in the field and the shop who would have made splendid preachers, had their choice and education been wisely directed iu youth. Generally speaking there is among young persons an aversion to mechanical or agri culfural pursuits, and an eager disposition to engage in mercantile and professional life.— There is a silly and ignorant pride which testes to look down upon the mechanic arts as vulgar and ungenteel, and those engaged in them as unfit to be introduced into the up per classes of , society. This ridiculous pre judice of course has its effect in increasing the throng of lawyers, ministers and physi cians, and swelling the multitude of young merchants without capital, and clerks in mer cantile houses. This, too, leads to that con stant rush of young axon from the country to the city in search of 'clerimhips, which we have often reasoned against. We have a few plain and obvious remarks to offer on this'subject of choosing a business fur life. The first is, that young men, un less they have great application, audustry,de cidell talent, and see the way clear to acquire a thorough education, had better avoid the so-called liberal professions. A lazy, igno rant, or thickheaded doctor, minister, or law yer, stands little chance in these days, unless he happens to have wealth or influential friends to start him. -We have hundreds of stupid lawyers and doctors already in our country, who are living from hand to mouth, trying to keep up appearances, who might have been respectable and succes.sful, if they had learned a good trade and stuck to it. For pity's sake, let no man expose himself to a like fate. EMI Let young men be cautioned against pre erring clerkships to mechanical trades. I has been estimated that not one in ten at tempting business in large cities, and not one in a hundred commencing as elerks,have succeeded. Their failure has been variously disreputable or ignominious, and often fol lowed by a broken spirit, an indolent, reck less, dissipated or criminal life, pursued in vagrancy and ended in the poor house or the prison. :This may seem a sarong picture, but the reality is worse. And where young men of ordinary minds and means can choose in favor of some good trade, or engage in agri culture, it is their wisdom to do so. There is this to be said in favor of any useful, honest calling, that if a young , man will act Correctly and apply himself diligent ly; he will make people respect him. The silly devotees of fashiotririay shun him, but the substantial and truly high-minded will see his worth and honor it- The grand rea son why mechanics are' rrat more 'highly es teemed is their' own negket to make them selves intelligent and res.pectable. Having made choice of your pursuit, resolve to fol law it in such a spirit and with such appli cation, as to excel in it, and as will place you in circumstanCes of manly independence; for, to a high-minded young man, the idea of being dependent upon relatives or friends niust be excessively painful. Strive to at. lain worldly competence, not as the means of making a show, or of living idly, but to de good-and help the deserving needy. The bone and stnewof a nation are its pru dent, temperate, upright, working men.— The farmer, the blacksmith, the builder, and all the other useful :oilers, are indirectly giv ing stability, wealth and strength to their country, titan any other classes. It is honor enough to belong to those of whom it may be truly said, "These are men that make the State.'

When Kosciusko came to England, after being emancipated from the dungeon into wine!' he had been flung by the Empress Cath erine, he sent a note to \Volcot, apologizing for requesting a call from him, and pleading - his Suffering from his wounds for not calling, upon the Doctor. " I was surprised," said Wolcot, " at such a request, hut I went and saw the great man extended on a sofa.

Perhaps our aristocracy would not fly in the face of the Russian Messalina; " heroism is not to their taste." The Doctor's visitors were of all ranks and degrees of persons, both . in. station and acquirement. Some of them he held -very cheap ; none more so than the r wefl known Colonel Thornton. of sporting,' celebrity in those aays, resident at Thorn.ville Royal, Yorkshire, and Lincoln's-inn-fields. "At one time," says the Doctor, " he kept an excel lent table and much company.

Now it is different,,,be must he.summoned to pay a milk-score'. I cannot affront a man whose guest I have been so many times."--, One day \Volcot said-, " lid has sent me some ganre, and he will come and partake of it with me. He, no doubt, made Mary pay towards the carriage of it." The bell was rung, Mary appeared, was questioned, and stated that she had paid half-ascrown, and she did not think the game was worth more. " Now that is the man," said Wolcot "of his' game from Devonshire - he has presented a portion to some of his other friends, ma king. them' all contribute to the carriage ; thus, what he keeps fur himself he has free ! He comes here to-day to escape receiving a party at home, that he had invited when half tipsy, repented of having invited, and has put off, owing ", to pressing business' that calls hint from home. ' He will never in cite them again. He is die most extrava gant of liars, too. He told me to-day he had bought Chambord in France, and that the King is going to make him a Peer of France; then, correcting himself, he said he was to he a prince—" a Prince I am, by_,•• He persuaded a friend of mine one day that he possessed at his house in Lincoln's-inn fields nearly all the game pieces Ruhens ever painied. He had none at all. He is the greatest coward alive, and lies as all cow ards do. He said 'that lie was once flung . from his horse, and fell with his head upon the edge of a scythe, which cut it in two ; that it hung half over each shoulder, like a pair of epaulettes."And what next, Colo nel ?" " Why, the huntsman came up, and in the twinkling of an eye, (a thousandth part of a second would have been too late.) he clapped, the halves together , before the blood got chill. I was well in a moment.— It was a critical affair." " That," Wolcot added, " was a clincher—a true Thornville Royal," referring to the residence of this Mendez Pinto. Wolcot made love to a Cornish widow while Opie was in his house. Ile introduced the painter to the lady. A fancy came into the head of 'the latter, raw as he was, that he must be more welcome to her fur a lover than one who was twenty years his senior ; for " Jan," as Wolcotcalled him, bad a boy ish vanity, even before he was acquainted with the great world. "\Vhat do you think he did," said \Volcot to-me, ; " in order that he might not meet me there, lius:etl o bor row my horse for his visits, thus curt[ off the means of my surprising him. I ,-ive hiM credit for his adroitness." Opie was no match for Wolcut in a spe Gies of hilmoraus banter which used to take place between them. The former, in way of retaliation, placed the Doctor's head upon one of the fallen angels in a scene from Mil ton. Butsiew knew the Doctor personally, and the joke did not take. There had been a meeting of the " Friends of the People," as the}' styled themselves, at Copenhagen House. Wolcot, more of an aristocrat than a Jocobite,, as all were called in those days who did not suffer their " better's" to think for them, attended out of mere curiosity.— 'Pia was &king, out for the suppression of political opinions as much as possible. Ma ny arrests had taken place in consequence. Opie thought of a scheme of retaliation up on his old friend, and drew Ozias Humph -4.0y, his brother academician into the plot.— The Doctor, knowing how obnoxious he was by his writings to the Minister, when he re flected on his visit to that meeting, got • into an alarm, on being told' that he heard the Government kept its eyes upon him. Hum phrey, in d great coat and slouched hat, sta tioned himself, early in the evening, during that English reign of terror, just opposite the Doctor's house. Opie, in the meanwhile, called,in an apparent hurry, and told him that a warrant was to be issued against him : " As -I came in, I saw a fellow I did not like. on the -opposite side of the way ,; just look out at the window." " \Vhat had I best do," alarmed. . "I;et into the country., my dear Sir ; lose no time." "But how shall Igo out unperceived'?" • ; " See, the felloW is crossing the way, get out - at the back window. I will take care of things here."... . Out o. , the - :window dropped the Doctor, and disappeared to ensconce himself in an obsi scure lodging near Windsor, observing, in allusiorrio the palace there, that the point of greatest danger was that of most safety.—, Here he remained a fortnight, Opie and. Humphrey spreading abroad the story, to the great delight-of mane of their brethern of the brush, whom WOlcot had sharply han dled. Thus, as was rarely the case, he had the worst of the game. Opie did - not treat the Doctor well. A difference between diem took place some years before the death of the artist, and he died without their long pre vious intercourse having been resumed. One day Wolcot, when eighty years of age; asked me if I knew Betsy Cranch. I could not conceive whoui he meant, for he had hone back to many long years before I was born. On demanding an explanation, lie replied, " An old sweetheart of mine whO dismissed me with the mose b comfortable as• surance_that a man in love ever received." Expressing my ignorance of who the lady was, the poet said, " Ah, you were not born then. I forgot she Married John Vivian.—, She was a sweet creature.
