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.
'Tis a Bachelor's tear!, an the agent is Chance.
Affection the rent, to he paid in advance.
The owner, as yet, has lived in it alone,
So the liktures are not of KAI\ value; but soots
"I'w be furnished by Cupid himself, if a wife
Takes a lease for the term of her natural life.
Then Indies, dear ladies, pray do not To‘rget
eicellent Bachelor's heart to be let.
The tenant Will have a few take 3 Eo paY,
hove, honor, and (the heavier item) obey.
As for good will, the subscriber's inclined
'l'o have that, if agreeable, settled in kind;
Indeed, if he could such a matter aridnet;
He'd be highly delighted to take in eitlidtie;
(Provided true title, by prudence, be shown.)
Any ifeArt, unlllcumbcs.ed anik free as my own
kio ladies, dear ladies, pray do not
An excellent Bachelor's heart to be let.

Advice oil General Cdildnet.
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.
