1-HK SILVEIt SIXPENCE. Do von sec here," said a ragged little boy to a group of gaily dressed urchin, as he came up from market Ftreet wharf, in Philadelphia, do you see here, Tve got a silver sixpence.' 'Why,' said Jeremiah Budd, whose father was a wealthy ship master, ! have fix dollars lo spend on Christmas, and thai fellow is proud of a sixpence.' Theodore heard and looking thoughtfully upon the ground lor a moment; then recollecting himself, 'six dollars to spend? muttered he, 'but sixpence to krrp is better than that.' Theodote kept his sixpence in his pocket carefully wrapped up, for several week; when one day his uncle, who keeps a fruit shop at the comer of the alley where he lived said to him, 'Theodore your sixpence don't grow in your pocket, you should plant it.' The little hov understood him better

when he told him he might buy some fruit in the market with it, and stand in .hUfihon and sell it outnirain. He em

braced the oiler, doubled his money the first day, and went on until he had

ns much fruit to sell as he had room

for in hi? little corner.

I lis undo observing the thrifty, ami

withal honest turn of the boy, tinady

took him into his stoic as an assistant,

and allowed him to trade sundry spe

cified articles on his own account.

The closest attention to business, the

most careful management of his small

fund., and that run of good luck as it

is called, which, generally runs with those who arc saving, industrious, and

prudent, in the course of three or four years, enabled him to go into full part

nership with his uncle, and to extend

his business, and double his former a-

' mount.

Having trimmed his sails right at first it became a second nature with

Theodore to keep what sailors ca

close to the wind; and he made head way astonishingly now. Soon after he was twenty one, he was able to buy

out the whole stock of a dry gooods

merchant, and to go into business on his

own account entirely. Still he pros

percd, became an importer, changed finally, his business for a wholesale con

cern; embarked m the India trade

nnd at last married a fine girl, whose

'fortune was little inferior to his own

and it was said after that occurrence

he was worth not less than half a mil

lion.

Theodore now lived in an elegant

minsion in Arch-street, kept his car

riage, and had every thing in pretty style, and yet attended as usual to his business. That he might never lose sight of his good fortune, the silver sixpence was blended w ith the arms on the carriage ; it formed the seal with which he stamped his letters, and he had one of the coins he used to say the very identical one he first owned fastened upon his desk in his counting room. Remembering thus constantly that bj' t mall means lie had risen, he ttill, amid much well bestowed charity. nd in the constant practice of true bencvolence,looked well to small things, and never forgot how to reckon pence as well as pounds. Thus smoothly were Theodore's affairs going forwaid, when one sultry sumflier's day, just as he entered his count-

itijr roonua thin squalid figure presented

himself at the counter, and asked for employment, lie wore a thiead bare

suit of black, an old hat, and his shoes

were almost ready to drop oil" his feet.

'In what capacity,' asked Theodore 'do

you wish for employment J

'In any capacity,' was the reply:

-'but sir,' continued the stranger, w iping

a tear from the eye w i lit his coat sleee,

'My father was a merchant, and he

brought mo up in his profession; I should

therefore be glad of employment as a

clerk.'

Theodore looked at him closely, lie thought he saw some lineament he

remembered. 'What is your name ; he asked.

The stranger hesitated a moment,

hung down his head, and replied in a

' low voice "Jcrcintuh Uitdd.

"Ah," said Theodore, recollecting

him instantly, "and you have got clear

of jour pix dollars, long ago, I fancy,

Jeremiah. "Yes," said Jeremiah, with a sigh

"hut I hae not lorgotlfii the raggec

little boy, with (ho silver sixpence.

Had I been hall as careful of my thou

sands as he was of his pence, I shouh

not have been here friendless and pen

mlcss tlits day.

There was a half triumphant smile

onThe.odoie s face as he took the bant

f his visiter, which seemed to spriug

from self -complacent feeling, which

was excusable, because it rose partly

from the consciousness of his ability to

aid one whose imprudence had caused

his misfortune, but who seemed now to

confess his error. He took the nppli- and eccentric genius, named Martin,

cant into his employ, and in process ol raised his head from its comfortable

time restoied him to the business do

ing, active, prudent, and valuable man.

J lie lesson taught in the story is too lain to need a word of addition. 1

will simply ask w here is the needy

man, who has not spent more money

foolishly in his life, than would be ne

cessary to make him comfortable now.

3IAXMIS OP HEALTH. The more luxurious you live, the

more exercise you require.

Lxcercise, to have its full effect, must

gree of perspiration (w hich is the panacea for the prevention of corpulence)

to the borders of fatigue, but never

lass them, or we shall be weakened

After exercise, take care to cool

gradually; when your head perspires,

rub it and your face, ecc. with a dry cloth.

L5e content with one dish; as many

men dig their grave with their teeth

is the tankard. Drunkenness is des-

structive, but gluttony destroys a hun

dred to one.

The food which we fancy most, gen

erally sits easiest on the stomach.

To affirm that any thing is whole

some without considering the subject

in all the circumstances to which it bears relation, and the unaccountable

peculiarities of different constitutions,

with submission, talking nonsense.

live as they can; certainly the less

The stately dames of Edward the

fourth s court rose with the lark, des

patched their dinner at 1 1 o'clock in

the forenoon, and, shortly after 3 were

wrapped in slumber. How would

these people be astonished, could they

but be witnesses to the present distri

bulion of time among the children of

fashion! In England. Would they

not call the perverse conduct of those

who rise at one or two, dine at eight,

and retire to bed when the morning is

unfolding all its glories, and nature put

The next day, Martin was arraigned

before Squire Cares, on a charge of

having disturbed divine service. Martin made his own plea, and was excused on the ground that as the Parson

had left oil preaching that it was no

longer divine service, but "guessing

SMALT, 1-OX IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.

Dr. Luzenburg, a respectable physi

cian of New Orleans, says he has dis

covered the cause and the remedy for

the disfiguration of the face by the

small pox. It is well known that the

face is usually the only part of the body

which is pitted and deformed by this

disease; and Dr. Luzenburg says it is

because this is the only part that is ex

posed to the action of light. He has ascertained by experiment that when

the face, however covered with the

pustules of this disease, is completely

sheltered from the light, it will not be

more marked than any other part winch

is protected.

NELSON EASTMAN,

Respectfully informs his friends and the public generally, that he has opened a shop in the house formerly occupi-

d by Decoursev and Kichardson, next

door to his father's shop where he will

manufacture and keep on hand, or make to order. Saddles, Bridles, Martin

gales, Harness, Whips, Trunks, and all other articles in his line of busi

ness, lie has purchased the patent

right for making Spring Saddles, a late

invention, and a very great improvement both for horse and rider.

Orders for any articles in his line will

be thankfully received, and executed in

a manner which he flatters himself will give entire satisfaction.

He returns his thanks for past favors,

and hopes by close attention to business

and a determination to do good work, to receive a continuance of the same.
