IVELSC3OI.4I.2.4LWV. • Human life is as the journey of a day; we rise in the morning of youth full of vigor and lull of expectation ; we set forward with spirit and hope, with gaiety, and with dili gence, and travel on awhile in the direct road, piety, toward the mansion, of rest. In a short time we remit our fervor and en deavor to find some mitigation of our duty and some more easy means of obtaining the same end. We then relax our vigor and re solve no longgr to be terrified with crimes at a distance, but rely on our own constancy, and venture to approach what we resolved never to touch; we thus enter the bowers of ease, and repose in the shades of security. Here the heart softens and vigilance sub sides; we are then willing to enquire wheth er another advance cannot be made, and whether we may not at least turn our eyes upon the gardens of pleasure. We approach them with scruple and hesitation; we enter them, but enter timorous and trembling; and always hope to pass through them without losing the road of virtue, which for a while we keep in sight, and to which we purpose to return. But temptation succeeds tempts. tiou, and one compliance prepares us for an other; we in time lose the happiness of in nocence, and solace our disquiet with sensual gratification. By degrees we let fall the re menatiraoce of our original intention; and quit the only adequate object of rational desire. We entangle ourselves in business, immerge ourselves in luxury, and rove through laby rinths of inconstancy, till the darkness of old age-bogies to evade us, and disease and anxie ty obstruct our way;, we then look back upon oar lives with horror, with sorrow, with re pentanes, and wish, nt too often vainly wish that we bad not forsaken the ways of virtue. Happy aro they who shall learn from thy example pot to despair, that reformation is never hopeless, nor sincere . endeavors ever unassisted ;. that the wanderer may at length return, after all his errors, and that he who implores strength and courage from above, ball find danger and dif f iculty give way be fore him. It is estimated that the transfer of Nab odist ministers each year costs in the aggre gate one million of dollars. Might it not• be wise to make no exchanges for a year or two, and devote this money to. charitable and re ligious purposes? A short time since . whilst riding in the ears between Philadoiphia and ilarrisburg, the brakethen opened the oar door as the train',arrived at a well-known station, and as usual sang out, .Christianna,', when a in. bust Teuton sprang to his feet with 'Vat* dg it ditt VISU was; AiNhiltr , v.v,AixElioßos, FRANKLIN c(,!uiTt,,i!EsNsyLVANIA;',TiIItRSPAY:MPRNING,IVIAiiCiI'IOOO.,:,„: zacbimxa.e..x.a.

Mrs. Ellot's new book, entitled 'The Court-Cir cles of tbe Republio! afforde_a floe opportu nity lot •this sort of study. Of the first Con gress assembled • is New York, the writer :Ives as a detail of ~ , • , • .04w: which ~ p revailed at that time. There were then but one huhdred and twenty-two names of attorneys In the City, and 'of clergymen only fourteen. The legal learning embraced such men as Duane, Hamilton, Jay, Kent, the Livingstoos, Morris, and Hoffman.. Washington bad selected Mr. Jefferson to preside over the Department of State. Alex. ander Hamilton was appointed Secretary rot the Treasury ; Geo. Knox, Secretary of War; Edmund Randolph was made Attorney Gen dral, and 'Samuel osgood, PostmasterGen eTal. The residence of the President was in Broadway, near Bowling Green. The Vice President, M r;-Adainsi - had - a - rural - residetice at Richmond Hill. Mrs. Washington Bet out from Mount Vernon in her carriage, and was two weeks in reaching the city. She was received with honors at every stopping place, being entertained 'at Elizabethtown by the venerable Gov. Livingston and his dangli. ters.' The President met her, it seems, in a barge at that place. andlogether they were token in it to New York. _ _ -- Tife - firstritabli - dtaner which lifii7Wash ington gave, after her arrival, is thus de scribed 'On" the day after her arrival, a dinner was given' at the President'e to Vice Pr• c_tesidettt_i -awns, Governor Clinton, Mr. Jay, General St. Clair, five Senators and the Speak_er_ef., the House Washington said grace and they dined on a boiled leg of mutton. After thf-i -dessert, a single glass of wine was offered to each guest, and when it was drank, General Washington robe and they retired to the drawing room.' Oar readers will agree with us in saying that the contrast between ancient and mod ern tinsea in this respect, is most striking.— A lea_of_mutton_and-a-single-glass-of—winei would hardly suffice in these days. Of Gen eral Hamilton, she says : - of cow-- of the most prom. .31e — tvne, o course, one went men of the period 7— le ived on . the corner of Wall and Broad streets—then a sparsely settled neighborhood' The custom of making calls on New Year's day came from the Dutch • The President was anxious for the New Yorkers to keep up what ha ealled_the_good_eueiom_2rhe_Pres 'idea held a levee on that evening, which is thus described : 'Contrary to usual custom, the visitors were seated, and partook of tea and coffee, and .lain_Jum_cake: When the President opened the second session, 'he was dressed in a suit of cloth manufactured in Hartford.' When Mr Jefferson came to New York he took . a house in Maiden Lane ; be was two weeks in making the journey from Rich mond. After the eapitol was removed to Phila delphia, Mrs. Washington mites : ' • 'lt was the determination of the Presidenj to live in a style of the utmost simplicity and modesty consistent with the dignity of his official position.' • lle.also coincided with Lady Washington for he says on one occasion 'Mts, Washington's ideas coincide with my own as to simplicity of dress and every thing which can tend to support propriety of character without partaking of thelollies of luxury and ostentation.' Mrs. Ellet's book, whilst it shams a wide departure in our day from the simplicity of former times, shows also a vast increase in the wealth and prosperity of the nation.— Luxury has kept pace with the latter. Life and Deaths Life is bat Death's vestibule, and our pil. grimage on earth is but ,a journey to the grave; the pulse that preserves our being beats our death marsh, and the blood which circulates our life is floating it onward to the depths of death. To-day we see our friends in health ; to morrow we hear of their dis ease W e clasped the hand of the strong man but yesterilay, and to day we closed his eyes. We rode in a chariot of comfort but an hour ago, and in a few more hours the last black chariot must convey us to the. home of all the living. • Oh, how closely al lied is death tolife The lamb that spott ed' in the field must soon feel the knife.— The ox that is in the pasture is fattening for the slaughter. Trees do but grow that they may be felled. Yes, and greater thins than these flourish; they flourish but do decay; they rise but to fall. Haw often do we take up a volume of history and read of the rise and fall of em. pires ? We bear of the coronation afid death of kings.' Death is the black servant' that rides behind the chariot of life. See life, and, death is close behind it. Death reaches far throughout this world and has stamped terrestial thing@ with the broad ar rows of the grave Stars die 'mayhaps ,it is said that couflagrations have been afar off in the other, andastronomers have marked the funerals of other walds—the decay of those mighty orbs that tee have imagined set for ever in sockets of silver to glisten as the lamps of- eternity. Blessed be God, there is one place where death is not life's brother, where life reigns alone, and to live' is.not the first syllable which is to be follow ed by the Pest, fro die.' There is a land where the death knells are never tolled, where winding sheers are never woven, where graves are never dug. Blest land be. yond the skies. To reach it we most die. Write your name by 'kindness, love and mercy on the hearts of people you some :in contact with, and You will never be for gotten. • Fifty Years ,Efelioe. The New York Mirror contains an essay on the manners and (Materna fifty years lance t which is full of admonition to the present generition. Fifty years make a great change,. not onlyin the condition of an but is the habits and principles of society. We mike an extract for the benefit of - e :d 7rl7—. Jets, male and female : 'When Washington was President, his• wife knit •attains in Philadelphia, and the mother made doughnuts and cakes between Christmas and New Year; now the Married ladies are too proud to make doughnuts, be sides they don't know how, so , they even send to Madam Pompadour, or some other French oake baker, and buy sponge cake for three dollars a pound. In those days, New York was th I of substantial comforts; and now it is fall lendid misery; then there were no gray headed spinsters, (unless they were ugly indeed,) for a man could get mar ried for a dollar, and begin housekeeping for twenty, and in waehinghicolathes_andoooh— log his victuals, the wife saved more money than it took to support her. 'Now, I have known a minister to get five hundred dollars for buckling a couple, then wine, cake and et mem, five hundred more —wedding clothes and jewelry, a thousand • and--aia or seven' hundred in driving to the springs or some deserted mountain, then a house must be got for eight hundred dollars -per-annum f and-furnished - anur - expense of two or three thousand—and when it is all done, hie pretty - wife can neither make a cake or put ad apple in a dumpling. Then a cook must be got at ten dollars per month—chath. -bermaidi - alandr.ss, an. seamstress at seven dollars each, and as.the fashionable follies of the-dayhave - btaish - eirtlfdimstr ass f rom-th e kitchen, those blessed helps aforesaid reign supreme, and while master and mistress are playing cards in the parlor, the servants are playing the devil •in the kitchen—thus light• ing the candle at both ends, it soon burns out. Poverty comes is at the door and drives love out. at the window. It is - this stupid and expensive nonsense which deters so many unhappy old bachelors from_entering—the state of blessedness; hence yon find more deaths than marriages.' Is RELIGION BEAUTIFUL.—AIways ! In the child, the maiden, the wife, the mother, religion shines with a holy, benignant beau ty of its own which . nothing of earth can mar. Never yet was the female character perfect Without the eteady faith of piety.— Beauty, intellect, wealth ! they are like pft falledark-in—tlie brightest day, unless the di. vine light, unless religion throws her soft beam around them, to purify and exalt, mak ing twice glorious that which seemed all loveliness before. Religion is very heautiful in sickness or in health, in poverty or in wealth. We can never enter the sick chamber of the good but soft music seems to float on the air, and the burden of the song is, 4 Lo I peace is here.' Could we look into thousands of families to day, when discontent fights sullenly with life, we should find the chief cause . of tin. happiness want of religion in woman. And in felon's cells—in places of crime, misery, destitution, ignorance; we should behold in all its terrible deformity the fruit of irreligion in woman. Oh, Religion ! benignant majesty, high on thy throne thou Fattest glorious and exalted, Not above the clouds, for above these is heaven, opening through .a broad vista of exceeding beauty. ADVICE TO GIRLS —Do not choose a lazy men; do not fall in love with a moustache, neither fashinnably•out trowsers, or blacken ed boots, or pomaded and artificially-curled heir, neither look upon graceful dancing or bombed'. riding. No, indeed, for, with all the above-mentioned qualities of now-s-days fast young men, you would not be able, with the best culinary skill, to cook a 'meal of victuals with it. But if a man comes to ask you for your heart and hand, inquire if be is a skillful artisan, or thrifty, industrious fir mer, wbo is' up early and late, - and does his own work, and loves to do it rather than,to complain of hard times, or it he has a trade, or has the ability lo acquire one; ask him if he thinks there are six days in the week to work, and if he improves them, and then on Sunday to rest to praise the Lord, and to go to meeting—if so, you' Can love him, and take him , he is aural() provide for you.- -But if be is one of those who loaf about half, or more than half of the time, .dressed in fashionably-out garments, afraid to work, for fear of soiling his clothes, always thirs ty, and bas abolished the sixth command ment seven times, let him stand in the cold, and give him the mitten, for with such .a lounging, good-for-nothing dandy you would be unhappy as long as you live.

When you see a boy throwing stones on the street and speaking impudently to old people, it is a. sign that his parents don't care much for him.
