"Not to myself alone,'•' The circling star with honest pride doth boast— " Not to myralf alone I rise and set ; I write upon night's emonel of jet His power and skill who formed our myriad host ; A friendly beacon at Heaven's open gate, I gem the sky, That man might ne'er forget, in every fate, His home on high.", "Not to myself alone," The heavy -laden bee 'loth murmuring lt um— " Not to myself alone from flower to flower I rove the wood, the ganlen, and the bower, And to the hive at evening weary come; For man, for man the luscious food I pile With busy. care, Content if this repay my cc:tack:4A toil— A scanty share."

TILE Urninur Max OF BUSINESS.- There is no being'in thi4 wnll,l feel higher moral respect and admira tion, than for the honest business man.— No, not for the philanthropliist, the mis sionary, or the martyr. I feel that I could more easily be a martyr, than a man of that moral uprightness. And let me say, vet more distinctly, that it is not for gener ous men that I feel this kind respect.— Generosity seems of low quality, a mere impulse, compared with the lofty virtue I speak of. It is not for the man who dis tributes extensive charities—or who be stows magnificent donations. That may all be very well. I speak not to disparage it. I xvish.jhere were more of it: and it may all consist with a want or the true, lofty, unbending uprightness. That is not the man, then, of whom I speak; but it is he who stands amidst all the interests and perilous exigencies of trade, firm, upright. fair, and scrupulous. It is the man who sees another's wants as well as his own.— It is that elan whose mind is not for an in stant Winded or clouded by his °Wit advan tages, but who could sit as a judge in a case betwetn himselland and a neighbor. It is he who would never take an advantage of the poor, the ignorant, the despised, the mis informed, or the misjudging. Alt! how much richer than ermine—how far nobler than the chair of executive authority—how much more awful than the guarded pomp of majesty—is that simple, magnanimous, • majestic truth ? Yes, it is the man who is true—true to himself, his neighbor, and his God—to right, true to his conscience, and wilt) feels that the slightest suggestion of his conscience is more to him than a chance of acquiring a hundred estates. ONE FAULT.—IIe who will turn away a friend for one fault, is ti stranger to the best feelings of the human heart. Who has not erred at least once in his life ? If that fault were not overlooked, 4o what depth of infamy would not thousands have descended ? We know not the peculiar and piessing emptation to which another may be expos I. lie may have fought manfully ror m min; against this sin, and still kept the secret locked . in his bosom. At last he was overcome. In a moment lie yielded. Ile would have given worlds to recall the act. He has mourned over . 1 in secret, and repeOted in dust and ash es. Shall we forsake him ? Earth and Heaven, justice, humanity, philanthropy and religion, cry out—"forgive hint !" Ile who will not forgive must possess the heart of a demon. Surely the love o?God is not in him. . VIRTUE.--7-The everlasting hills will crumble into (Just, but the influence of a good act will never die. The earth will grow old and perish, but virtue in the heart will be ever green and flourish throughout eternity. The moon and stars will grow dim. and the aim - roll from the Heavens, but true religion and undefiled will grow brichter and brighter and not cease to exist while God himself shall live. ANCESTRY.—An•ing,enious French wri ter observes, that those who (111)64 00 the metits of their aneestors,, may be said to search in 'the root of the tree, for those .ruit:t that the bruncluv ought to bear.. Human Eights. AN ELOQUENT PASSAG!• The following passage occurs: in an oration re cent's' deliveted below the Literary Societies of the Link end ty of Vei mon! by .1. T. HEA The subject of his Oration is the One Progressive Principle," and is throughout a thrillingly eldquent !undue lion : I have thus endeavored to make history illustrate my-proposition, by watching the appearance of this principle at different pe riods, and studying its character and gaug ing its strength. But the present, no less than the past, throws in its testimony ; and even now this strange, unconquerable principle is 'moving on, dragging the life and energy of the world after it. 0)1, it is lea rtul to behold its strength, and the up heavinas it has occasioned! Ever since the time of Christ, man has striven More or less resolutely to get an acknowledg ment of his rights, either in religious or political matters, or in both. Despots have made use of old reverimeesupersti tious fears—trickery, falsehood—the dun g-con—the bayonet and seaflold—to silence his claims mid overcome his arguments. Force has done much, for though iluth crii,bed to earth will rke again," it often requires "the eternal years of God," a n d men have succeeded in burying it fath oms deep. But the one of Which I have been speaking, has had two wild resurrec tions ; one in England, when Cromwell shouted over its grave, and one in France when the infuriated populace called it in shrieks forth from its burial of ages. Oh! how man has struggled to he free—free to eat the bread his own hand has sown—free to breathe his thoughts over the lyre, or tit ter them through the pages of his country's literaturefree to lay the taxes he'himself pays—free to worship God according to the dietates_of his own conscience. See England convulsed, her (louse of Com mons in tears, and the torch of civil w•ar blazing over the hind, and all for a princi ple—the principle of personal freedom.— Belrfild this country, pouring out its blood like water—see it clothed in mourning— her children marching barefoot over the frozen ground, leaving their bloody testi monials on every foot of it they traversed; nay, marching by hundreds naked into bat tle.- and all for this one principle. See France rent asunder, her streets flowing blood, and the loud beat of the a larm (Crum and the steady peal of the toe sin, and tue nua%) , ion ate tumbrmus, go ing to and from the scaffold--the only mu sic of Paris for years—and millions of men sacrificed; and vet this principle, in some form or other, 'lying at-the bottom of it all. Deceived as dre fierce actors in this tragedy may have been, and diverted, though the thought. for• a while, might have been to personal safety or personal aggrandizement, yet the spell-words by Which the, storm was directed were "free dom, equal rights." Look at Europe, while the great Napoleonic drama was perfonning—there is something more than die unrolling of banners and the pomp and maj est Vof arms. G reat deeds are wrought, and glory is the guiding star to thousands, yet that long and fearful struggle, notwith standing the various pretences set forth, was with all its bloody accompanimen t, and waste of treasure, and loss of life; and suffering, simply an effort to stop the pro gress of this one principle. Here all the diplomacy and hypocrisy of Europe are reduced to a sins. element—the world in arms against c 1 rights. France "threw down the head of a king as the gunge of battle," and the conflict was set. Crom well's army shouting through the fight, and , French patriots storming over entrench ments with republican songs in their mouths, may he fanatical or deluded men, and cheated at last by ambitious ?,hieftains, but the thing they sought was no delusion. What a terror it is able to inspire when such a vast expenditure of life and money is made to check its advancement. Be hold; the Czar of Russia, the Emperor of Germany, the King of Prussia, and even the Pitt of England, combined together, calling upon the wisdoin of the statesman and summoning to their aid a million .of men to crush a single principle. "If ever I reach Heaven," said Dr. Watts, "I expect to find three wonders there :-Ist. The presence of some that I had not thought to see there. 2d. The absence of sonic whom I expected to meet there. 3d. The greatest wonder of all will be to find myself there.'? If a fool knows a secret, he tells it be cause he is a fool; when a knave knows one, he tells it whenever it is his interest to do so ; but women and young men are very apt to tell what secrets they know, from the vanity of having been, trusted.— Trust none of these. MAXIMS.—Never be cast down by tri fles. If a spider breaks his thread twenty times, twenty times will he mend it again. Make up your mind to do a thing, and von will be sure to do it. Fear not if troubles come upon you; keep up your spirits, though the day be a dark one. A little wrong done to another is a great injury done to ourselves. The severest punishment of an injury is the conscious ness of having done it ; and no man suffers mote than he who is / turned ver to the pain of repentance. a sac! thing when men have net- titer hearts enough to speak well,. ner judgement enough- to• hold their tongues v: thiS is the foundation of all impertinence. .GETTYSBURG,.

Mo zart accepted the wager, and dashed oil' a piece of music which he saithlaydn could not play, and he could. Ilaydn smiled at the presumption of his pupil, and placing the notes before him on an instrument, ran along with the greatest ease until he reached the middle of the piece, when he suddenly halted : "How's this Mozart ? Here my hands are stretch ed to the ends of the piano, and vet there's a middle key to he touched! N obody can play such music—not even the composer himself." Mozart smiled as he took the vacated seat, with a self-assured air. Running a long through the simple passage, he came to that part-which his master had pronoun ced impossible to be played. Now it should be known that Mozart was at least endowed, if not favored, with a very long— yea, a prodigious NOSE. Well, reaching the difficult note, his hand stretched to,the extremities of the piano, he leaned forward and bobbed his nose against the aforesaid middle key which •'nobody could play." Haydn burst into an immoderate la of laughter, acknowledged the "corn," and avowed that Nature had endowed his pu pil with a remarkable and hitherto unap preciated capacity for music.

He worked with so' much fury and impetuosi ty that I really thought he would hafe bro ken the block of marble to pieces; knock ing off at one stroke great pieces of three or four fingers thick, so near the points that he had fixed, that had he passed ever so little over them, he would have been in danger of ruining his work, because that cannot be replaced in stone as in stucco and in clay.'
