I've wandered to the village. Tom beneath
the tree,

ett you and me;
But none were left to greet me, Tom, and few were
left to know,
That:played with us upon the ureen, some twenty
years ago.
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.'
WIIO WILL MAKE A GOOD WIFE
When you see a young woman who rises

When you see a young woman just out of

will not make a good wile. She must be la

VIIOOSING A PROFESSION.
Biographical.
ANECDOTES OF PETER PINDAR.
(DR. iVoLcoT.)
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. Al-.
ter the first civilities between two perftet
strangers were past, I asked - _hint how it
happened that he had sent for me ?'
":When I was thrown into that miserable
Russian prison, where I had nothing to re-
Pere the enluz that haunted me, I asked the
hailer if he %mid lend rne a book, and he
brought me, without knowing what it was,
a volume of.',our works, taken from some
unhappf prisoner that had preceded me. I
was so fleased with the freedom with which
you lashed great people and their
that though knowing England to he a land
of freedom, I determined the first person.
saw there should be yourself: I have / with
me two bottles of Italian wine, said to be
the real Falemian. You must taktione away
with you, that we may pledge each other in
the mine of Horace."
" I took my leave of Kosciusko, touch
pleased with him. Will you believe it, scarce
ly a single person of any moment in this
country-called upon the sufferer except Char
les Fox, so little did the villanous partition
.of Poland excite our sympathy. 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. To play the
host was always unnatural to him, but a
love of ostentation - overcame his love of mo
ney, and it was necessary lie should sup
port the character of a first-rate lox-hunter.
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. Betsy," said,,l;
" will you take me' for better or worse." •
"Impossible,Doctor—unless you will wait.
I am in for it six deep; already." /

OF THE WEEK.
. It might be supposed, perhao. before re
tleettng upon the subject, that the determina
non of the number seven as the number of
days; of the week was incidental andrhat any
other number, a little greater or 4 little smal
ler, iwoufd have answered the: purpose as
well E• On reflection, however, we find that"
there - is a very propound and j permanent,
though still a very simple reason for, prefer-.
ring the number seven. The reason is, the
number six, which is the real length of the
working week, leaving a day of rest out of
the amount, is a number divisible both by''
three and by two. A thousand Conveniences
restilt from this, which we daily experience
and; enjoy, though we seldom speculate upon
them. A newspaper for examtile, may be
pubhslied, or a packet boat may sail,- either '
every day or every two days, or every three
day , and in either case comes out right. at
the;end of the week. This now would not
have been possible with any I other small
nurhher of days in a week, hadLbeen - 4 5 6 S
or -110. Vie should have been !subjected to
great intionvenience in many of; the arrange
ments of business, which now flow very
smoothli?. If the weeks had consisted of six
days, for example, having five for the nutil
her of business days, eyerythtng which was
required to be done one in two days, would
fall' on different days' in every succeeding
week, thus creating much contusion, all of
whichis avoided by the simple contrivance
of having a week composed of such a nUm
bei of days that it can be divided evenly by
both two or three.—Hunt's Mekchants MGT - -
