Infore S ii7.erl.vtul wa delivered from tho dominion of Aushia, the. governor of lii, named Cei?lcr, rest-led iu the city of AHorf; who, by abusing the pow er entrusted to him, inhpiitously exercised the m-x-t cr.nl tyranny. Interest or caprice alone directed hi x!ecisions; j(ilhe and rca n were hani-!i-ed; judgment was s.ihl; the innocent were punished aroitrariiy; ana the ministers of the txrant committed the most enormous crimes with impunity. lie at last added extravagance to cruelty: and having caused a polo to ho erected in a public, square, and placed a hat upon it, he ordered, under pain of death, that all vV passed th tl way, should how down hofon; it and reverence it as they did his own person. In the f im; canton, there livoxl a man of rough hut frank manners, named William Tell, who having come o a business to Allorf, passed through the public s.ju vre, an.l beholding the pole with the hat upon it, hesitated a moment hetwoen wonder and laughter; hut not knowing its object, and but little curious to riiipiire, he negligently passed this emblem ef power. The irreverence paid to the pole, and the infraction of tho severe edict, were speedily report cd to the governor, xho being filled with rage, ordered the. criminal to be instan'.lv arrested, and brought before Mm. lie received the ollender with the savage look of cruelty peculiar to a base mind, jealous of hi authority, and ferocious when it was made the object of cleiision. Villain, said he, is thi vour respect for tnv power and decree? lhit you shall feel their full weight, and afford a wretched proof that my dignity is not to be insulted with imnunity. Astonished, but not intimidated at this invec live, Tell freely enquired of what he was accused, as he wa unconscious ot anv crime. Contempt and derision o my power, said the ttrant. I had no notice, icplied Tell, of your edict; am Avithout being instructed, I should never have dreamed of saluting a pole, or that irreverance to a hat was high treason against the state.

"I CAN MIT Till. I. A MM." In the war of the Revolution, while (en. Iaftyette commanded in the army, a part of the troops were encamp ed at a certain place near the water'? edge. One summer's evening a soldier who was an excellent swimmer as well as a lifer, took h's :ifo. with him to ihe water and engaged in filing and swimming at the same time. The music reached the ear of Lafayette. Ivir ly the next morning he sent an officer in pursuit of the man who had disobeyed the orders of the camp. The soldier w as a native of Connecticut, and a man of truth. When arrested hy the officer he considered that he might es cape a severe punishment by denying tlie deed. On a moments retlection. however, lie said to himself. ''I have always spoken the truth I cannot tell n lie."' With this principle in his mind, Mci came to the presence of the general, who suited him if he was the individua' who played upon the water the cveiling previous; to which he replied JU".

Homer sins and Cirsar triumphs in all 'sjes. Through them we are instructed by (he wisdom of Plato, and charmed by the eloquence of Clooro; through t!nm we admire the justice of Aristides and the heroism of Leonid, ts. And much of this is owing to two single arts, that of priming "and the manufacture of paper. Ry the former, learning has been rescued from the dark tuos; hut without the latter, the benefit of printing would he circumscribed to very narrow bounds. It is by means of the press, chielly, that so much of Christendom owes its escape from the thraldom of superstition. Rut speaking of the dignity of the mechanic arts, we could "not confine them to the men; h and that executes, without the head that plans; for without the latter, hut little more credit would he titio to the person who exercises those arts than to the automaton Turk, who mechanically a.-tonishes the world at a name of chess. To produce the great effects we mentioned, to do so much to enlighten, to beautify and im prove the world, to labor for the glory and happiness of others, and yet be ignorant of tho springs by which the important movements arc carried on, would ill comport with the dignity of the mechanic. He would (if we may compare small things with great) like the sun in the heavens, which renders liiit and warmth and comfort to mankind, without itself being conscious thereof. There is a philanthropy in the mechanic arts. The mechanic who brings to his occupation an inventive, enlightened and inquiring mind, who is master of his cr.ifl,in theory as well as in practice, has more of the real philosophy in him than twenty of those minute philosophers, who spend their lives in puzzling the world with empty metaphysical speculation, and of whom Ciceio speaks with so much deserved contempt. The mechanic who perfectly under stands I.ms trade, as well in the princi les as the practice ot it. gets himself a cgrcc of no inconsiderable honor, and that without tho intervention of a colego, or the formal vote of a learned corporation. To become an ingenious nd enlightened mechanic, it is neces sary that the youth who is destined for 1 trade, should bring to his employment a mind inquisitive, studious, busy and nrlmed to mechanical pursuits. Such a mind, with ordinary attention to its cultivation, can scarcely fail of becom ing, in a very considerable degree, enightencd. Rut to the common source of information, a good many mechanics tdd a very laudable attention to books, o the periodical publications of the lav, and to the associations for their mutual improvement. Mechanics' nnd Apprentices libraries are established, tnd mechanics societies are formed, which, hy inducing studious habits, in terchange of ideas, and collision of sen timents, must tend to improve the minds of the members in a high degree. There is at the present, time a very large share of information and solid practical knowedge among the mechanics of this country'. The life of the mechanic, it is true, s a life of labor, and while he wipes the sweat from his brow, he may perhaps murmur at his fate and envy what he ie considers the easy lot of other pro fessions. Rut where is the business that exempts a man from a life of labor? The life ol a judge, and of the first olhcer under government, is a life ot labor. Rut can these "honorable men build a ship, or raise a spire to heaven, or ex crcise all or any of the arts which add so much to the comfort and grandeur of the world? These the mechanic can lo, and if he duly reflects on the impor tance of his labors, he can scarcely re pine at his lot. llerhshtrc lmcruan. INTEMPERANCE. Among the various evils which stalk amid the haunts of man, there is one demon of destruction, whose march sure as time, impetuous as the cataract, and merciless as the grave, desolates the fairest valley of the universe and lays prostrate the noblest structure of creation. At his approach the towering wings of genius is paralysed; the torch of reason becomes extinct, the lire 01 ambition expires, the smile of philan throny is lost in the cloud of conscious degradation, the rose of health is blanched, the lnsture of the eyes i

His followers arc shame and remorse, poverty, disease, inianiy, and death. And does not man retreat with dismay from Ibis dark, malignant and unpitA ing enemy? Who would not avoid the exhalations of the Upas, or fly from the dreadful Samile of the Arabian desert? none, none in the universe! and yet, oh inconcei.abic madness! how many wilh launlless confidence embrace this rlrmou of intemperance: this destroyer of all that it fair and lovely in the soul, this pestilence thatwallath in darkness and wasteth ,t noon day! Awake, oh m.iii.irom my tlaiurerous lethargy thv senses are locked in a fearful charm, and thou smilest iu the slumber on the monster whose breath is consuming thee! b Hast thou friends? Wilt thou doom tnem to mourn over your faded form; thy blighted mind, thy decayed energies? Hast thou children? Canst thou Miiolhcr the noble aspirations of their youth with disgrace and infamy? A SOIIEIl CALCULATION. The young man who earns from six to eight or ten dollars per week, and - spends but two or three of it in board ing, and what besides it is necessary for comfort and convenience, may lay up from one to two hundred dollars yearly towards setting up for himself at a proper time. If the capital required be not large, in three or four years he may calculate upon being a master instead ef a journeyman. This is one view obvious to be sure, but not the less important. Another view is, and one which too often presents itself. If a young man, -instead of thus laying up the chief part of his wages, spends it all, or nearly so, in idle Sunday excursions and frivolous evening balls gambling, or any other vicious or imprudent pursuit, he may calculate upon remaining a journeyman for life; and if not brought through evil communication to the state prison, or the gallows, will in all probability, terminate nis mortal career in some loor house, unpitied and despised. rhis is another view of the ease equally obvious ns the last; and yet how often ire both of them lost sight of to the ruin of youth. ADVENTURE WITH AN ELEPHANT." When I was in England in the year 1 77 1, 1 went to see the elephants which were kept at the Queen's stable, Ruckingham house. Whilst I was gratifying myself with observing these huge crea tures and their various actions and pe culiarities, I took occasion lo withdraw from one of them a part of the hay, which he was collecting on the floor with his proboscis. I did this with my cane; and watched the animal narrowly to prevent a stroke from him, which I had reason to expect. I lie keeper said that I had greatly displeased the elephant, and that he never would for get the injury. I thought but little of (his admonition at the time. Rut about six weeks afterwards, when I ac companied some other person on a visit to the elephants, I found . that though probably several hundred people had been there since my preceding visit, the animal soon recognised me I did not attempt to molest or tease him at til; and 1 had no conception of any con cealed resentment. On a sudden, however, when I was supposed to be within the reach of his proboscis, he threw it towards me with such violence, that had it struck me 1 should probably have been killed, or received some material injury'. Happily for me, I perceived his intention, and being very active, I sprung out of his reach. To every other nerson present he was gentle and good tempered and his enmity to me arose, as the keeper declared, solely from the circumstance of the afiVont which 1 had merely put upon him. Memoirs of Lindley Murray. Autumn. The earth is still clothed in loveliness; meadows and groves put on the gay and variegated livery of Autumn; while the ripened fruits of the field and orchard remind us both of the debt of unbounded gratitude which wc owe to the Giver of all good, and of the business appropriate to the season. He who does not now lay up his store for Winter, will, when that pinching season shall arrive, in vain deplore the folly of his improvidence. So he who does not lay up a store of comfortable recollections for old age, will find that last period of life dark and cheerless indeed.
