MISCELLANEOUS.

on.vniAii. " Vou arc a good-for-nothing lazy rascal,' said an exasperated father to his son Obadiah Davis. "Von aint worth the salt of your meat to me. Von have neither watered the hordes, nor feJ the ri. There's Sal scolding dow n stairs because there s no wood tail ior me oven; and yon have left the hars of the lane down, and the cow has gone into neighbor Humphreys field, (let out you idle, lazy, good-for-nothing loon out of my si glit. Mr. Davis was six feet high. Obatliah was not more than live feet three. The last adjectives, with their terminating noun, were rendered much more emphatic by the hearty culFs with which each one was accompanied, and the last explanatory push which came, from the palm of a hand, brawny with fifty years labor, formed a hint not to he mistaken, that the negligent youth's company was no longer wanted. Obadiah was a lubberly looking fellow, about twenty. He bore the heat ing with good grace, the necessity of which frequent experience had incul cated ; and without sating a word to his irritated parent, he went down the lane a tu elect cf the haisof which had formed one of the counts in the de clarnlion against him and sal down on a stone, in a little grove of trees, and by the side of a brook, whose waters ia r-idly swept over their sandv bed, and liUed the air w ith freshness and music. Jle ruminated awhile with his under lip out in a pouting way, which with Ir.m as well as others, was a sign cl in ternal agitation. uVes,'' he exclaifncd for why should not farmers' bovs address the groves and rural spirits, as well as Tell or Brutus? uVes,"' says Obadiah, drawing the sleeves of his coat across his month, with more of a view of comfort than grace "yes, 111 be darn'd if I stand that "ere any more. I aint to he beat like a dog all my life, and I think I may as well give dad the slip now as well as any other time. I'll tell him on't. If he's a mind to give me a lritlc,so much the 'better if he haint, w hy he may let it alone.' It was about two days after the preceding events, that Mr Davis was surprised by the appeal auce of his son, apparently equipped for a journey, lie stared at him for a moment, partly silent from displeasure, ami partly from sui prise. s.t'n, r.. oimui.ui, some hesitation, "I'm come to bid you t;ood b)e.'' "To bid me good bye, you fool! why, where arc ou going?" I am going to seek my fortune in the w 01 Id, father. I know I am no u-e to you. 1 think I cars do almost as well any w here else. 1 can't do much worse at all events. So I am goin down to Vork, or somew here thereabouts, to get along by myself.'' IV arm and deep feeling?, thank heaven, are not confined to the wealthy nor the wise; and nature fashions her humblest hearts as rich in strong delicious affections, as those w hich beat beneath flashing stars. Mr Davis loved Ids son, for many reasons. He was the only pledge of one who had stirred up the romance vi earlier feeling-, an.l whom now the green sod covered ; and Obadiah, ordinary as he was in his general appearance, sometimes turned upon him with an expression of e e, or replied in mirth with a smile, w hich recalled her to his memory, and fivmd no where else in the wide world. Besides, he was always honest and affectionate; and though he never discovered that kind of activity which might have rendered him useful ia the station which he had occupied, yet he w as his son. and as such, he felt more linn he was in the habit of putting in w ords. His eyes appeared moist, therefore, as he remon-tratvd with the young ad venturer, and found him firm in the purpose which he had, it seemed, hem a considerable time adopting; and alter much useless persuasion, with a oice softened by the thought of approaching separation, he asked him what course he intended to pursue. M I am going to shut) lw." "And how are jou to he. supported while you are pursuing jour Mmlies?" "I guess I'll teach school," answered Obadiah, with thegrait of a saint. The old man. in spite 1" his sorrow, could not refrain limn laughing at (ho thought of his joung mwiccesMal agriculturist, retailing" his wi-dom ai,l knowledge to rising gcmiatio:is,or pursuing the subtle shadows c, ju-iic through the mazy lahrinth ,.( ,uv. He looked at l.im with in rea-mg wonder. There he was, with his brown oat and liney-w oolsey trower, hi hair combed stiaight over his forctVad, nd his badifulncss flinging him into' the most awkward attitudes, even in tins attempt to explain his new pros

pects. Rut Obadiah, it appears, had made up his mind, and was not inclined to return to his old employment on any term. He therefore bade his father good bye, and shook hands w ith his sister Sally and the rook. A short walk over the farm enabled him to perform the same tender duly towards the hor

ses, the pig5, and the old cow. All tilings being at length settled to his satisfaction, he started on his way. The poultry were gathering upon the roost, and the old dog Ca?sarcame after mm wagging his tail Heclionately, but in vaitCto accompany him on his novel ex pedition. Many sensitive folks would have yielded a few soft regrets to the quiet and really beautiful spot he was leaving perhaps forever, but Ouadian never dreamed of regretting what he w as doing of his ow n accord. He cast then fore only a slight retrospectne Pianco unon the scone of his boyish

pains and pleasures; and, having sur- j changes. Charles Chatterton, the lovevcyed in a moment, w ith one eye shut, J ly, the elegant, the mould of fashion,

commenced his journey, whistling Yan kee Doodle. The disadvantages under which he labored w ere immense. Without education, and totally destitute of experience in the fashionable or literary world friendless, and almost penniless, he was to make his own way among those who had enjoyed proper education and high friends from their birth who had been ushered into public, life with the honors of college, and who would scarcely regard the quiet, plain, and retiring country boy, except with smiles and derision. His advantages, however, were not by himself disregarded. He knew the strength of a mind which had grown up in the solitude and quiet of nature's abodes, unweakened by the dissipations of fashion, and untrammelled by the fetters of a bad svstem of education. He knew that he had great difficulties to struggle against, and that he must depend upon himself, duly to supply all deficiencies of nature or art, by his ow n unwearied application. In a splendid drawing room of a well known city, a young gentleman was entertaining some young ladies. They were all in rich and highly fashioned apparel. The girls were lovely; and they, as well as the graceful youth, whose handsomely turned periods excited so much pleasure, and whose attic wit produced such frequent bursts of merriment, seemed whiling away the i j r.ni..riij , :.. ..n vimi'ming and elegant familiarity of high life. A ringing was heard at the door, rnd the servant announced Mr Obadiah Davis, who accordingly walked in with his hat on, and without the slightest embarrassment proceeded to business. The polite-Mess ever attendant upon real gentility, prompted all the company to restrain their disposition towards mirth, w hile Mr Davis presented his letter of introduction, and the gentleman was perusing the same. Hut when, after having finished and folded up the letter, MrCiialterton introduced Mr Davis to the ladies, as a gentleman from the country, whose intention was to pursue the profession of trie law, the lurking smiles curled their rosy lips in spite of themselves; and Mr Chatterton himself. while he performed all t he necessary duties whit lithe etiquette of the day required, added to the goo. I humor of his fair and merry rtmpanien?, by a wink which did liot pass altogether unobserved. Mr Chatterton complied with his request, which, upon the leeommendation of a friend, he had made, lo be allow ed to file his certificate in the office w here the onng gentleman, under the instructions of his father, was studying law. Time passed on. CharlesChailerton, in the c possession or an ample lorlnne, I . I I II. I hi - I -I'. - .- and surrounded by all the blandishments of life. found a thousand thing to charm him 1'iom his office. He was young, gay and w itty. His society was courted by all his acquaintances of his own sex, and among the fair and fascinating of i lu; other, a heart like his was sure to find jays too delicious to be yielded for (he drudgery cf a lawyer's office, or the remote hopes of a future fame. He loved music, and its notes welcomed ami detained him wherever he went. D.tnchg was his delight; and there were snowy l ands which he knew he might haw for the asking, and bright e)e t, flatd, open him when he dfd ask; and how could. he tain from witcheries hke lluse, for (ho rluMy volumes of antiquated luv? Ho .,, nn ,Mhusiastic admiit r of natuie, and she wooed him in a thousand ways from his tedious task. Her breath was flagrant upon the air. and her voice came (o him in w inning (ones upon Ihc breeze. It was impossible for him to turn n deaf car to her enchantments; therefore, he walked, sailed, rode sometimes he wandered forth In (he morning to witness (he rising of the sun; and again, in

the summer night, the moon would lure him out from the unhealthy lamp, to roam with loved ones beneath her rays. Now, during all this time little Obadiah was busv as a bee. He had taken a school, which occupied part of his time, and the income enabled him to defray all his expenses. Nothing called him from his duty. The moon shed her silver radiance in vain; and he had seen the sun rise so often, that he had lost all its novelty. His feelings

were not awakened by wandering af fections, nor was his clear and calcula ting brain disturbed by the intrusive visions of fancv. Nature, art, beauty, and fashion, all went with their various revolutions and adventures without affecting him his time was devoted to his duty, and he knew no other pleas ure. Ten years passed away and brought with it, as usual, many unexperienced vnd the glass ol form, had been leit in poverty by the failure ot nis lamer. Bred up in all the luxuries of life, he was inadequate to support himsell. His fine but effeminate spirit broke down, and he lives in poverty, neglect ed by his former friends, and awaiting a miserable death ! Obadiah, on the contrary,has succee ded bevond all expectation. His skil and knowledge have acquired for him a high reputation; and he is rapidly a massing a fortune which he will doubt less know how to keep as well as to ob tain. His manners, too, have become polished during his commerce with the world: and the rough and awkward country lad, is now one of the most eel ebrated lawyers of one of the firs states of the Union. His influence i visible upon a large portion of society and there are rumors of an intention to send him to Congress. What a pity it is that the fine and delicate enjoyments of our nature are so often inconsistent with worldly success, and that wealth and fame must be sought by so many sacrifices of feeling and affection! JVeir-Iort Mirror. What makes a Gentleman? Thi question is often answered in a variety of ways. The stud, the wardrobe, the bijouterie, the table, or the bank ac count of an individual, are in their (urn considered by the many, as the indica tioii of a gentleman. The following definition, we find straying anonymous y ihrmieb hr naners: "In the true definition of a gentleman it is not meant to draw a line that would be invidiou between high and low, rank and subor jdination, tithes and poverty. The distimtion is in the tnma. Whoever rs o pen, generous and true; whoever is o hnmar.e and affable demeanor: whoso ever is honorable in himself, and can did in his judgement of others, and re qures no law but his word to make and fulfil an engagement: and such a man may be found among the tillers of the earth." Silence, docs not always make wis dotn. 1 was at dinner, some time ago in company with a man, who listened to me and said nothing for a long time j but he nodded his head, and I thought him intelligent. At length, toward the end of the dinner, some apple dumpling were placed on the table, and my man had no sooner seen fhem than he burst forth with "Them's the jockeys for me! 7 1 w ih bpurzheim could have examined the fellows head. Coleridge. A gentleman who married a lacka daisical young lady, was visited soon after by an old friend. The lady, after enlarging in an animated strain upon the pleasures of London, had retired for thenighl, when his old friend exclaim ed, "Whv. Jack, vour wife is not fo pensive as she used to be." To which ' y - . . the other replied with a shrug, "No, she has left that off; she is now ex-pensive." 'Who writ Miakespear f asked a very literary gentleman, of an equally intelligent lady, a few days since. 'Why!' cried the astonished blue stocking, elevating both her hands, don"l you know!
