The Flight of Time. Why flies the time, so fast - Days, months, and rears aline hy, And each looks shorter than the last, And swifter seems to fly; On viewless wing still rushing on, To join the flight of ages gone. Their silent course they ply. It seemed, when we were young, Time lingered on the way, Fair hope, like any syren, sung The livelong summer day— 'Ph sweetly sung of promised bliSs, Too bright for such a world as this-. Too beautiful to stay. And then the winter night, - go lively and so long, When round the fireside, blazing bright, Went merriment and song: Lung were the hours—for we were then Impatient tq be happy men, And join the busy throng: Hope's radiance in the llea'rt, In youth supremely blest, Can transitory joys impart, Th'eVrilthtest titid the best. The ills of life . coae an too :soon . ; And why should clouds Ascure the nOO'n . , That warms the youthful breast. I:4hen life's young dieatn is o'er, Antl * faitcy's fires decay, And hope's illusions charm no More, Nor chit i te efte lingering Then Time sweeps on with winged speed, Or, like a thief, with noiseless tread. Steals all our years away. Fled like a dream's the past, The joyous banquet o'er. Our longing looks we backward cast, Arid think on days ofyor'C'. 'Brood o'er each scene in joy or woe, Till we grow old before we know That we are vonno no more. A Heart to Let. To be let at a very desirable rate, A snug little house in a healthy estate.

The emotions of the mind are displayed in the •Itiovements of the body, the expres sion of the P-mtures and the tones of the voic'e. it is wore difficult to disguise the tuned di the voice, than tiny other, external manirestiti. n oleterital feelrng. , The CI tin= ging accents of the voice of those with whom we have long lived in iiiterEeturSe; the Coilitndril'eation of sentiment, are lea equivocal and more irepressive than eveti langua'e itself. The . iloval sounds of speech, expressive of thought and fueling, are too tnuch neg lected by us in our individual and personal education. Could we analyze the opinion which we form of people on a first acquain: tauc 'tio• should certainly find that it is greatly inililoiiFed ib'e tones of the voice. Study. then, agreeable iiiiinds of speech, but seek not rules to guide you from etiquette —from artificial politeness ; descend into the heart, there cherish thekind and moral sympathies. and speech will be modified by the sincere and enduring tone of benevol ence. • .With your commisSeration for distress, join firmiles n i Of mind. Interest yourself jp general happiness, feel for all that is hittilaii: but stiffer not your ilettce . to, tie distdrhed bj, what is beyond the sphere of your influence, and beyond your power to rqmedy. A medical man heti all the humane feel ingef hut the are merged into the art of healing. Wiell sees Welt aliffering, be feels no perturbation; he feels only the desire, by means of his art, to relieve the sufferer; thtis slloiild all our humane and (social sympathies be regulated, divested of their morbid sensibility : end reduced to at; tive and practidtd princitil63. NUMBER 18. Some, when they move from the common routine of•life, and especially on an . emer gency, are embarrassed, perplexed, and know not hoiv to_resolve_livith_decision,_and act with decision, and act with promptitude. Presence-of-mind is a valnahle - qualityand essential to active life ; it is the effect of ha. bit, and the formation of habit is facilitated b'y rule. . Command your feelings, ler strong feel. ings, disconcert the mind, and produce con fusion of ideas. On every occasion that re quires attention, learn to concentrate your thoughts with quickness and comprehension. These two rules reduced into habits, if stea dily practiced, will induce decision and re solve promptitude af action. Precipitation spoils the best concerted plan ; perseverance brings the most difficult, when it is practicable, to a successful result. The flutter of haste - is characteristic of a weak mind that has not the command of its thought's a strong mind. - master of itself, possesses the clearness and prescience of te l flection. In learning, concentrate the energy of the mind principally on one study. The atten tion divided among many studies, is Weak 'AA by the division ; besides, it is not gran ted to an indMdual to excel in Many things. But, while one study claims your main at tention, make occasional excursions into the field of literature and science, ind collect materials for the improvement of your mind and the advancement of your favorite pur suit. Excellence in a profession, and success in business, can be attained only by perse vering industry. None who things himself above his vocation can succeed in it, for we can not give our attention to what our self importance despises. None can be eminent in his vocation who devotes his niental.en. ergy to a pursuit foreign to it, for, in such a case, success in what we kive is (*ants in what we neglect. Among men, you must either speak What is agreeable to their humor, or what is con idstent with truth and good morals. Make it a general relo of conduct neither to flat ter virtue voti cannot confirm it ; by ekes peiating folly, you can not reform it. Sub mit; however, to no compromise with truth. but, when it allows, accommodate yourielf with honest courteq to the prepdssessions Of others. In your whole behavior to mnyhind, con duct yourself with fairness and integrity. If an action is well received, you will have the credit it deserves; it it is not well re ceived, you will have the approval of your own mind. The approval of a flood science is pieferkible to the applause of the world. Powder Magazine in /Mon.
