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.

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.
