CRAWFORDSVILLE RECORD !

HINTS FOR THE SEASON. The foundation of virtue and knowledge are laid in our youth ; if at any other time, the structure must he insecure and imperfect. He that will not hear the admo

nition of a friend deserves to feel the correction of an enemy. A warm heart requires a cool head. Fancy without judgment is all sail and no ballast. Try to love labor, if you do not want it for food you may for physic. lie who spends most of his time in mere sports and recreations is like him whose garments aie made together of fringe, and whose diet is nothing but sauce. Liberty unseasonably obtained is apt to he intemperately used. Industrious wisdom often pretents what .zy folly thinks inevitable. No trees hear fruit in autumn unless they blossom in the spring. We may be k-pt from doing ill as well bv dread of our enemies as deference for our friends. Temperance in youth is the as- - suranceofa vigorous old age. Ex cess not otd y brings gray hairs, but ereen vears. with sorrow to the grave. Let us not judge of a book by the author, but of the author by the Look. Religion is the best armor but the. worst cloak. He who speaks against re ligion may b suspected of being fretted hy it in his conscience. Speakers and writers. The prevailing fault in American writers is verbosity ; most of our orators fall into the sao.e error. In spenkn hew vcr, it is oiore excusable ihao iu fi; g, as lisometimes impresses any thing on the memory ol the auditors. But, in general, few words are more emphatic than many. kAnd thou firutmj conveyed a keener reproach than any multiplication of laugunge could have done. Sheridan coupled epithets exactly synonymous iu his speaking, but he seldom falls into the same inadvertence in his writings; Junius is one of the most correct writers in the English language. It is remarked that they who think clearly always express themselves in few words. Caesar's 4 Veni, vidi, vicV is more eloquent than many of the flowery paraphrases of Cicero. During the rewl'iiionary war, a young speaker occupied the attention of an assembly for a long time, with what he considered a classical harangue, but in which the matter bore no proportion to the words. When he had couchuit d, an old member arose and said, ' This gentlemen's speech puts me iu mind of the fire fly it just gives light enough to show its insignificance.' This sententious reply was sufficient to overturn all that the. other had said, and the questions as carried against l.im; to nseb'ss is a labored speech without argument. The year 181 1 in the west. Many things combined to make the year 181 1 annus miribilis of the west. During the earlier months, the. waters of many of the great rivers overflowed their banks to a vast extent, and the whole country was. in many pans, covered from blufFi to buiti. Unprecedented sickness followed. A ptit of changf, o restlessness seemed to pervade the Very inhabitants of the forest. A Countless multitude of squim l, obeying some great and universal impulse, which none can know but that Spirit which gave them being, left their reckless and gamboling life, and their ancient places of retreat , in the north, and were seen pressing Ibr wards by tens of thousands in a deep and sober phalanx to the south. No obstacles seemed lo check this extraordinary and concerted movement ; the word had been given them to go forth, and they obeyed it, though multitudes f)crished in the broad Ohio, which ay m their path. The splendid comet of that year long conJinueil to shed its twilight over the forests, and as the autumn drew to a close,

the whole valley of the Mississippi, from Missouri to the gull, was shaken to its centre, by continued earthquake?. It was at this very epoch, in which so many natural phenomena were combining to spread wonder and awe, that man. too, in the exercise of that power with which the creator has endow

ed him, was making his first essay in that region, of an art, the natural course and perfection of which were destined to bring about yet greater changes than those effected by the flood and the earthquake; and at the same time that the latter were agitating the surface, the very first steamboat was seen descend fog the great rivers, and the awe struck Indian, on the banks, beheld the Pinelor, (the Choctaw name for the steamboat, literallv the "fire canoe') fliug through the turbid waters.
