September 11-6 W Alexander Hamilton was under middle size, thin in person, but remarkably erect and dignified in his deportment. He wore his hair turned back front his forehead, pow dered and collected in a club behind. His complexion was fair, and varying from this only by the utmost ft.minine rosiness of his cheeks. His might be considered as to fig ure and color, an uncommonly handsome face. When at rest, it had rather a severe and thoughtful expression, but when engag ed in conversation, it easily assumed an at tractive smile. C. I. DEPEW. The eloquence of Hamilton was said to be persuasive and commanding; the more likely to be so, as he had no guide but the impulse of a great and rich mind ; he hav ing had little opportunity to he trained at the bar, or in popular assemblies. Those who could speak of his manner from the best opportunities to observe him in public and private, concurred in pronouncing him to be a frank, amiable and high-minded gen tleman. He was capable of inspiring the most affectionate attachment; but, he could • make those whom he opposed fear and hate cordially. Ile was capable of intense and effectual application as is abundantly prov eed by his public labors. But he had a ra pidity arid clearness of perception, in which he may not have been equalled. One, who knew his habits of study, said of hiin, that When he. had a serious object to accomplish, his practice was to reflect on it previously . ; and when he had gone through this labor, he retired to sleep without regard to the hour of the night, and having slept six or• seven homes, he rose. and having taken strmig entree, seated himself at his table,, where he remained six. seven or eight hours ; and the product of his rapid pen repuired little correction for flee press. He was among the few, alike excellent, whether in sr caking or writing, in private and friendly intercourse, he is said to have been afiec tionately beloved. T--2tn If you have set up in business, but do not succeed as well us you anticipated, he not anxinus to change. Stick to your business, and in the long run, you will hav6 no rea son to regret it. Call to mind the rich and successful men of your acquareance, and you will find they all commenced business and stuck to it—year in and year 'out—in dull times ns well as in E t rosperoto times. The changing—the uneasy-I—never seem to get ahead, but, are forever. in the suds. It is difficult to find a mall who has pursued a regular business fur a dozen years, who has not prospered and made money. Ile may have lust tt nottin, by had debt,3, or endorse ments; or speculations, but in business lw was prosperous. To you, young man, we would say, stick to your business. Be not easily persuaded to make a change, no matter how golden the prospect held out to you. You are sure and safe where you ore. In another situation, you may be ruined. Thousands may have fulled by a change, when a score have made their fortune. ¶-31n There is no dancer, if you stick to your business, are economical, and do not credit too much. Credit is the ruin of buddreds. At least ten per cent. ofull you sell on cred it you may put down as lost, Before you thus venture trust for. your goods, it will be well to count the cost. By prudence and industry—by n careful look out—by being constant at your business, we see no reason why you may not calculate upon success. We are sureyou will not fail, while you at tend to your own ailitirs, and let specula tions and wild schemes alone. • rir The Albany Dutchman says : "Who says this is not an age of progress ?

Alexander Ilaniiiton. Stick to your Business NUMBER 51. Proud and Poor. The family of Mrs. Brown, a poor and good widow, cbrisisting of six danghtersi had the misfortune to be poor and proud. Above• the gross vulgarity of manual labor, though • not above its necessity, they lived “stueltAtr . in idleness, and depended on the hard bern ings of the mother for support. Finally,Ma ria, who was the youngest, and rather prit ty, managed to win the heart and hand of the village physician, and got married. The alliance being considered as a decided step "up in the world" by all the family, the sin gle sisters grew lazier and prouder than ev er, while the doctor's wife took a new and improved set of airs to match her advance ment in the scale of "good society." Being comfortably bestowed in her new house, she began to feel the need of somebody to mind' her pots and kettles; and seeing a neigh bor, (a thrifty mechanic, who used to be • "boss" to her father in the same shop) go ing past the door, she called out to him in , an aiTheted manner, to know where she could find a servant—expecting to get an of fer of one of his daughters. "Well, 1 dont know," said the carpenter ; help is a little hard to be got just now ; but there is the widow 13roWn's girls who I should think you might get, as they are dreadful poor and seem to lie always out of work..-- Some neighbors who overheard the solloquy say that madam retreated Into her house with a precipitancy that was quite alarming to be hold, and never spoke of the carpenter af terwards, but as a vulgar person, who knew nothing of the proper - distinctions of society. Brownlow's Eccentricities. .11aowsLow, the eccentric preacher and editor, has left Jonesboro, Tennessee, and started his paper in Knoxville. We copy from it the following :•Review of the Knox ville Market for the week ending August seal; 011 ice , Seekers—Nlore than can be accom nodated, with an increase of seekers ; which hreatens to overrun the market. Loafers—More than equal to the demand. and should the weather become warmer, they will increase until the city, is destroyed. Ildles—A line stock on hand ; and a new importation would be thankfully receiv ed, if they were such as "have the quills ;" old ones of many years standing, somewhat below par. Honest men—There are a good many in this city ; but not being adapted to this mar ket, no inquiries are made after them. Topers—A cowardly stock on hand, who drink after night, to avoid the censure of the churches. No more of the same sort wanted. Capitalists—A poor supply with limited means at their disposals ; but when the new bank gets under way, they will increase in number and resources. Hypocrites—As line 'a stock as can be 'produced in any city in the Union, of the same population, with every variety usual ly found in any market. Liars—More than wanted, but all em ployed, and driving a heavy bitsiness. Street Cleaners—None in market, but a large stock badly wanted. Good husbands—Scattering, and , not a few buyers have recently discovered that they have been sorely bitten. Good wives—A good supply, but more badly wanted. Pretty women—Many in their own esti mation ; and several in the judgement of the public, unless some one comes close to the object of his admiration, then he realizes that "distance lends enchantment to the view." Night Prowlers—An unusual supply—. snore than the city authorities can attend to. Chri;itianB—Almostas scarce as they were in Sodom, in the days of Lot ; considered an, infallible cure for sore eyes. A Mother's Love Fullness is not the attraction ofa motheeit , love. 1-lere is an outgushing of affection that knows no bounds ; that admits of no. confidence. Stronger beyond all other love, it admits of no illustration by comparison. It exists through all time, and all changes,. and resist.S:the attacks even of the ingrati tude of its object, and is the only love that survives disgrace. I attempt not its descrip tion : "None but a mother knows a mother,s fondness. None else can guess it." • Death does not dis Solve the tie nor ditnin ish the love. Love of our departed offspring grows with the constant remembrance of the deprivation, or the lost Pleiad, the "star we have missed from heaven," shines with a constant and purer light in the song of the ancient bard, tubule periodical revolutions or • intervening clouds hide the splendid. con stellations from our sight, so the love.of the dead one of our domestic flock more con stant and stronger with time, while . altitcgon , for the survivor suffers lapses, froth oc'era sional frailty. When the mother smiles upon her child in the cradle, she may imagine her affection constant and perfect; but,there is too much of hope to make it certain ; too much pC sel fish feeling to have • it pure. It is not un like when ""she goeth to the grave to weep there" that the cessation of hope has been the purification of love.
