I AM WITHOUT A FRIEND.
All around the world is guy,
And all appear content—

While I alone lament.
No Nem] have I to share my eares—
My heart to snoth;
To tell my hopes to still my fears—
My path through life to smooth.
Alono, alone! on this wide earth,
I troad my tiresome way;
No friend have I to share my mirth,

We shall never forget the excitement

Captain Maryritt's 'Diary' was one of the

the piano up with a long pole, in the same

A few minutes' walk brought the parties
on the broad galleries of the house that

Such answers we have frequently received,
and an answer containing more double re

aside from the meanness of reeding n bor

could well afford to take one for himself,
it is plainly dislionesyflat burglary.' You
deprive your neighbor of his rights, which
he hns paid for with his own money, and
prevent his family from obtaining the in

public press. Will you say that your.
neighbor has already read it and give it
cheerfully. . That may be true, and yet
the case is not altered. A newspaper is
useful for reference as well as for present
reading; end then your noighbor has too
much ipolitenes to refuse your request,
knowing that one who is mean enough to
make the request—to borrow, would
be just mean enough to resent a refusal.—
Besides, the printer has his rights, which
ale grossly violated by this system of bor.
rowing—he is in fact robbed, spoiled. He
expends his time, labor, talents, and mon
ey on his paper, for the gratification of his
subscribers, and the support of himself and
family, and yet the reward comes not, be
cause, forsooth, many of his readers are
borrowers. Now we ask all such, is it
fair? is it honest? Do you give the printer
any value for what you receive? And after
you have road a borrowed newspaper, does
your conscience approve the deed?
If it does not, and if you aro •now satisfied
that you have injured your neighbor, and
cheated the printer by being, a bbrrower,
go and subscribe at once for a newspaper;
and when a friend calls to borrow yours,
tell him to 'go and do likewise.'—illiltonian.

INDUSTRY AND PERSEVERANCE.-W e
give below an abstract from Burnaps'• lec
tures, to which we invite the attention of
young men:
"When you have sufficient intelligence
to perceive what you ought to be, and judg.
ment enough to discern what, you, may be,
and decision enough to determine what you
will be, the next indispensable qualities to
success are industry and perseverance.—
Labor is the universal law, a law in which
all who have • their fortunes to make, that
is, all the young arid enterprising, ought
especially to rejoice. Labor is the grand
magician, which is secretly conveying the
good things of this world from band_ to
band, while mankind lo(.1: on and wonder
how it is done. Who now possess the
wealth and the high places of the land?—
Mainly those who labored for them hard
and long. Front whose hands are they
imperceptibly gliding? From those who
are too indolent to keep them: It is in
credible what mere industry will accom
plish. In this world of toil, I had almost
said that it is the prime requisite.
It is, wonderful what deception lurks
under a few common words and phrases in
our language. , What a fortunate man!'
we hear the world exclaim, when they
see a man flourishing in his business. In
nine cases out of ten, the very . term is a
flattering unction, which the indolent or
unenterprising man is laying to his • soul,
that the only dlfference between him and
his successful neighbor, is that oflurk..—
In a majority of instances be may at vun.
tune substitute in the place. of fortunate, in
dustrious. He may venture to say before
ho examines the case, that the eels° ofSite•
case is the same as was observed of Julius
Cresar: He always succeeded, because
ho left nothing undone which could secure
success.'
Let not the young man repine at the
law of labor, and tc inevitable and inexo
rable necessity ofilorsonal exertion,, which
it imposes upon him. It is the most favor
able thing those. who have their way to
mnke in the world, and is among the rave.
rable circumstances by which they are
surrounded. It is the great agrarifin law,
which in a number levels all distinctions,
and gives the , pcior - man an inheritance in
this, world more certain, though not so ex
tensive as the' rich, in his ,own talents,
faculties, and,capactties. By making all
welfare and acquisition depend on labor, all
mankind are provided for, and all monopo
lies are 10 effect den° sway." ' •
ErFnere TOBACCO ON Mais.--In
small doses, tobacco causes a 'sensation -of
heat in the throat and often a feeling of
warmth at the, etomach; these effects, how
ever, are less obvious when the remedy is
taken in the liquid form. and largely dilut
ed., By -repetition it usually. , operates
as a diuretic, and, less frequent as a laxative.
In larger doses it provokes nausea, vomit
ing, purging. Though it seldom gives rise
to abdominal pain, it introduces a most
distressing sensation, of sinking at the pit
of the•stomach. •It occasionally acts as at,
anodyne, or more rarely promotes sleep—
but , its most remarkable effects are lan
guor, feebleness, relaxation of muscles,
trembling of linribs, great anxiety, and ten
dency to limit.' Vision is frequently en
febled—the ideas confused—the pulse small
and weak —the respiration 19 somewhat
laborious—the surface cold and clammy,
or bathed in• a cold sweat—and in extreme
cases convulsive rnevemeuis are observed.
In excessive doses the effect is of the same
kind, but more violent in degree.
The smoking of tobacco, by those on
accustomed to it, gives - rise to rill the be.
fore described effects of large and excessive
doses. A very interesting case, which bad
almost terminated fatally, is related by
Dr. Marshall Hall. It was that of a young
man who for his first essay smoked two
pipes. Ginellin mentions two cases of
death from smoking, is the one of seven
teen, in the other of eighteen pipes at a
sitting. I habitual smokers, the practice
when employed moderately, provokes
thirst, increases the secretion of saliva and
buccal mucas, and produces a remarkably
soothing and tranquilizing effect on the
mind, which has made it so much admired
and adopted by all classes of society, and
by all nations, civilized and barbarous.—
The practice of chewing tobacco is princi
pally confined to sailors, and is less fre
quently submitted to our observation, so
we are not competent to speak of its effects,
which probably are similar to those caused
by smoking.* The application of tobacco
to abraded surfaces is a very dangerous
practice, and has, in some instances, been
attended with violent or even fatal results.
Mr. Weston has related a case in which
the expressed juice of tobacco was applied
to the bead of a boy aged eight years, for
the cure of linen capitis. Death took place
in three hours and a half after the applica
tion.—Pereira Medica.
*lt would he well if this could be said, with
truth of the United States.
Luos..—One hears a prodigious deal of
the luck of this man, and the luck of that;
this good, another bad. Now, in my opin
ion there is very little if any thing at nil
in Luck. Certain causes produce certain
effects; and fate has nothing to do with the
one or the other. If one minds his own
bueiness, attends to it promptly,—makes,
no bad bargains—treats every one with the
politeness due to his station—he cannot but
have success, or Luck. 'Tis as certain us
that the sun will shine tomorrow. True,
he may not always have good health; but
let him judge impartially of his conduct;
and he will find, in Dine cases out of ten,
that his ill health is directly chargable to
lila own conduct; and in the remaining ca•
see indirectly.
But if one lounges about two•thirds of
his time, spending more than he can
earn in the other third, ruining his morals,
contracting base habits, lessening hiluseif
in the confidence of all, with how much
propriety can he complain of bad Lurk?
Will his time spent in a tavern or grocery
help along his work? Is tho money thus
spent well or ill vested? Is the health thus
thrown away to be recalled when he so
wills. Can he command men to repose
confidence in him? 'Tie upreasonable!—
We cannot expect to reap unless we sow.
1f we squander our youth, "the spring time
of life, 'and put offsowing till autumn, the
"winter of age" will come before the har.
vest, and others will reap the benefit
of our labors. Every man whose patron
age is worth having will look at the char

BRINGING ur DAIIMITER9.—The dispo
sition of some people in moderate temporal
circumstances, to bring up their daughters
as fine ladies, neglecting useful knowledge
for showy accomplishments, is highly to he
reprobated. For the notions they acquire
by such a course, is an inverse ratio to

fashionable refinement to disqualify them

render them ridiculous in a higher sphere,

as we said before, we would not give a cent
for n person who is not slandered—it shows
that he is ether a milksop or a fog). No
no; corn a bad name by a bad fellow, (and,
you can easily do bo by correct conduct.)
it is the only way to prove that yon ate en
titled to a good one.— Tattler.
