In fair and foul weather, come what will, Be honest, industrious, by day and by night, And ktrfi your nose out of the bottle. You are poor you may stay so and, what if you do ? It's not hard if your neighbors all share it, Besides, there's a maxim 41 the larger the shoe. The greater the plague is to wear it.

Advice to a Young Lady

young lady, at eighteen, often

needs a warning voice to point out the quicksands over which she is

speeding her thoughtless career

I hear you are beautiful and have

many admirers. I am sorry for

it. A voung woman, whose con duct is marked with strict honor

and principle, cannot have many

admires There is nothing that

more certainly marks a bad heart

and depraved moral principle, or

worse, a thorough destitution ol it.

than this cruel and guilty en eouragement of honorable love.

A young man is never long

attached to a young lady without, her being aware of it. commonly indeed before he is himself aware

of the nature and extent of his feel

ings. The knowledge is almost

intuitive. From that moment, if

she be persuaded that she cannot

reciprocate his sentiments, her course is plain before her it is

cool, undeviating, unhesitating repulse on every occasion, place, and manner. Love xvill die. without hope. To crush love in the bud 19 easy : but trifle and tamper with it till it has taken root in the heart, and its destruction is attended with the extinction of the heart's best and noblest feelings. Never forget this prime maxim in these matters, not to discourage is ahvats to encourage. Your choice, I will not. I would not bias. But I had rather hear that you are engaged to a man of good character and industrious habits, than to the wealthiest man without them - for in this country, these are always a sure pledge of final success. A mean andculpaple species of coquetry, is the practice of not giving decided encouragement, or repulse, with a view of keeping your slave till you have learned. . to use the cant phrase, you cannot do better I know not an express ion that betrays more despicable meanness. She who uses it, shows a wilingness to- sell her hand, to trafic her person for value received, that is revolting in the ' highest degree. No one, not even a parent, can tell what character will render any lady happy, but herself on herself, on herself alone then, must and ought to rest the responsibility of her choice. I have seen so many marriages commenced with all the glitter of wealth and pomp, terminate in misery and broken

, hearts and so many that Were I age, size, and condition, and give ty are only so many ramifications

The name appears, to be badly applied, as the horn alone is not the seat ot the disease ; it pervades the whole system ; and cattle without horns are quite as subject to it. as those with them ; having often seen those without horns have it. The hollo wness of the horn, proceeds from the violence of the fever throughout the s ttcm. I have known cattle feeding in stalls to be attacked with it, as well as those in poor eondiiion ; and no doubt, those in poor plight are more liable to its aitae!:, their system not being in a state to resist any diseases ; it occur,. ;u all seasons of the year, bui o;.to nartietihir! v in fhf m ..

Many persons rely upon the feel of the horn, as the best indicative ol the disease, but this. 1 think very uncertain ; in some cases it is at the root, cold to tinted, while in others very hot. A very small gimhlet will" however, remove all doubts, and the mark on the horn not visible alter a few days. If the disease exists the horn will be found without pith, and little or no blood will follow the boring; whereas if the disease docs not exist, you will find blood immediately upon entering the horn. The gimhlet used for boaring, should be well washed & greased after using, for if it is not, and should be used to try the horn of an animal not actually affected with the disease, it will most generally give it to them It is a disease that is highly inflammatory and infectious ; and the animal having it ought to be removed from the herd until well The following mode ol treatment. 1 have found very successful, and the beast soon restored to a thriving state.

Laconics. Telling lessen our

griefs and doubles our joys. Our thoughts are expressed by speech, our passions and emotions without them. Solitude dampsthought and wit; too much company dissipates and hinders it from fixing. Men are less jealous of power than tenacious of property, and less tenacious of property, itself, than of

their ancient usages and customs.

Marriages. The learned Agrippa tells us. that all the inconveniences of married life happen, not so much through the fault of the women, as the negligence of the men; for it seldom "happens that the women are bad, unless their husbands arc worse.
