say, 'I hnd so much to be done within and around me in the way of moral and religious advancement, that I have no time for intellectual pursits.' The individual who thinks so, must he mistaken. It is unquestionably a christian duty to cultivate the mind. Why were minds given us? To use them in fulfilling the great purposes of existence. The more they are strengthened and enlarged, the better they are fitted for the accomplishment of these purposes. A person will increase in the capacity for happiness and usefulness in propor

And when 1 looked on him. I said, "what a piece of work is man! haw noble in reason how infinite in fatuities! in form and moving how express and amiable! in action how like an angel! in apprehension how like a god!" I returned his look was no more lofty, nor his step proud; his brt!i n frame was like some ruined tower; his hairs were white and scattered; and his eye gazed vacantly upon what v;is
passing arounu mm. me vigor ot his intellect was wasted, and all that he had gained by stuJy, nothing remained. He feared when there was no danger; and when there was no sorrow he wept. His memory was decayed, and treacherous, and showed him only broken images of the glory that was departed. His house was to him as a strange land, and his Iriends were counted as his enemies; and he thought himself strong and healthful while his foot tottered on the verge of the grave. He said of his son hois my brother; of his daughter I knew her not; and he inqired what was her name. And one who supported his last steps, and ministered to his many wants, said to me as I look on the scene, '"let thine heart receive instruction, for thou hast seen an end of all earthly perfection.''

of hours in twenty-four must be allotted
to repose a repose not merely of body,
and all the avenues of the mind, hut of j "signs of the times," it is very probable
that the canvass lor the next rresiden cy will soon commence with the accustomed vigor. It appears from the Alexandria Gazette, that handbills are in circulation in Virginia, nominating Col. Richard M. Johnson, as a candidate. Mr. Van Burcn we look upon as a candidate, and Judg MeEean may he considered as in the field; other eHndidates will, no doubt, be presented. We had hoped, that a year or two at least would have elapsed, before the canvass would have commenced, but the restless spirit of the edi
torial corp, and the ambition of aspi
rants to olhce, will hurry the nation
into this most distracting of all subjects in which it is concerned. Wc trust,
the mind itself; for sin h is the mysterious action of the mind on matter, that
bodily powers will not be refresh'd unless the mind reposes also. To the application of this law is affixed the same direction as to the other; the repose must he neither longer nor shorter than the state of the sytem requires. Besidfs the la.vs which govern all material beings, th re is a cope of Py tans for each individual, growing out of his peculiar constitution and circumstance which it i equally his
duty and interest to obey. To each of
these laws serve penalties are attached, as every transgressor knows full well. Our intellectual nature, too, has its
Next President. A correspondent of the Boston Daily Atlas, speaking of the next Presidency says: "Avoid it and disguise it as we may, Mr. Webster must be a candidate for the ncit Presidency. The two great public institutions, now in the greatest danger, are, the Constitution as now interpreted by a great majority of the country, then the protective system, even when viewed in its incidental aspect. Mr. Webster, in his intellectual character, is beyond all dispute at the head of the American people, and in his moral character he is much beyond any one that can he compared at all with him ir point of intellect. But this is not all, nor does it even include the highest consideration that may be brought to hear on the people of this republic. Mr. Webster is the only man iu the first rank who is sura to maintain the Constitution and the incidental protective policy with all his ability. Phis consideration alone is decisive."
ERUPTION OF MOUNT ETNA. We have, for several weeks past, had vague rumors of an awful eruption of Mount Etna, in Sicily, but have had nothing authentic on the subject. Tne following extract, iVom a letter from Messina, received by a respectable Commercial House in this city, may be relied on as far as it goes: we wish that the writer had entered more into tin:
details ot this phenomenon. It would be almost worth the trouble of a voyage acioss the Atlantic, to see such a volcauoe as Etna in lull bl ist: Coa tincl''1 have to advise you, that one of the most awful eruptions of Mount Etna, witnessed for may years, is at this moment taking place; three new craturs have been formed, one of which voinils lava, the '2nd slone and sand, the 3d only smoke; the stream of lava is at
this moment over one mile in breadth, and about IS miles iu extent: the l.iss of property is immense, as many tine vallies have been tilled a. id thou.-aruh of fruit trees destroyed, together with the almost incessant earthquakes which attend it, have destroyed many villages. As the progress of the lava is very slow, (one and a half miles in twenty four hour?,) it has enabled all the inhabitants to escape, and the country is filled around for miles, with the inhabitants, and about ten thousand strangers who have come lo visit the mountain, living under tents, which at this inclement season, rendered more so by this ruption, which always causes very bad weather, creates a great deal of sufferings, added to which, the naturally poor condition of (he inhabitants, and scarcity of food is really distressing. Should it not soon cease, the fine village of Bronte, (celebrated for its good white wine, and as being the estate,
with a title, conferred on Eord Nelson
ofter one of his great naval victories, by the King of Naples,) must fall a pray to it, the lava being now only a fewmiles from it. It was seventy milea from this place to the mountain, but all who have witnessed the eruption, represents it to be a most magificient, yet awful spectacle. The stream had collected about sixty feet high at the last dates, and it was mometarily expected to launch for wards. It is in this way, that it decends, not as a stream of writer, but it continues to forme an irmens precipice, till the to p overbalances the bottom, when it slides forward for a mile or perhaps more, and then does not again move forward till anolhs er precipice is formed.''1
