THE COLUMBIA PHON1X\| l'Original.] Ah! Taming O'er tho Classic Pag*. i. Ab I turning o'er tbe classic page, Th? unbidden tear will start, Sinee, musing o'er the heroic age, We loee the h er o? o heart! That heart which ever beat with glory's tide, go fisarlees, fond sed fr??; That knew no prouder hope, no dearer pride, Than when, triumphing as it died, It proved its generous truth and matchless loyalty. nc The.Boul at glory's ?all which sprung, The lova whose generous youth, On beauty's slightest accents bung, And yielded truth for truth. Ohl for such soul in these degenerate days, Fer valor such pnre flame; * While battling to the last, in beauty's gase, Implored no blessing belter than her praise, And deem'd her smile the very light of fama rix. And it ia fame! Hearts cherish iong. Wherever feeling weeps the brave: And valor lives in beauty's song, And constant faith survivss^? grave. Still' o'er the page that tells of hero deeds, The fond heart lingers yat; Glows with its triumph, in its anguish bleeds, And, though it weeps the while, weeps on, and reade, And never, weeping ever, oas. forget! Egeria, the Muse of Counsel XI. DI6TIKCTION. Oar distinctions do not lie'in the placet ? aa ? which we occupy, but in tho grace and dignity with which we fill them. It ? to the few alone that place accords d?stine tien. Position, in tbe world's eye, is a pillory, rather than a throne, to Che thou? sands who scramble for its attainment; and there is a native baseness in the ambition which seeks beyond its desert, that never allows moro conspicuously than when, no matter how, it temporarily ^jains its object. The snake may reach the eminence as cer? tainly aa the eagle, but he reaches it by crawling, and bc still remains a snake. XXI. OBLIGATION. To feel oppressed by obligation, is ouly to provo that we are incapable of a proper sentiment of gratitude. To receive favors from tbe unworthy, is simply to admii that our selfishness is superior to our pride, i Most men remember obligations, but not ?often to be grateful for them. The proud ?re made sour by the remembrance, and the vain silent. XXI TACT. . 1 Tact, ia one of the first of mental virtues, the absence of which is frequently fatal to the best of talents. Without denying that it is a talent of itself, it will aofiice if wc admit that it supplies the plaee of many talents. It is chiefly discoverable in society, bj the facility with which it at certained ?o which of your toes the gout Bas taken lodgment and in the felicity with which it avoids trespassing upon*?e suffer in" member. We cannot withhold our affection from one who not only forbears our failing, but never suffers us to suppose "that he suspects their existences. XXIII. SOKG. It is a bird flight of the roul; when the heart declares itself in song. The affections that clothe themselves with wings, are pas? sions, that have been subdued to virtues. XXIIII. BENEFACTION. The .highest glory of manhood is when I it stands in the attitude of the benefactor, j It is in this attitude that it most resembles the Deity, in whose image, we are told, that man was orignally made. It i- in tbi* attitude that it most strikingly exhibits its own sense of gratitude to God for his benefactions. . xxv. AIMS or Lira. He is most secures of live who lives for his fellow. One lives through all periods', who bas in all periods lived for his race. We must see humanity through onr ambi tion always, if we would make and per? petuate that life Which consists in an undying reputation. xrvi. CHANCE. There is, no doubt, such a thing nf char.ce, but I see no reason why Provi neuce should not make ?ec of it. xxvii. PURPOSELESS THOUGHT. TO think without a purpose, is to baffle ftie will, which is equally thc soul of purpose anti performance. The intellect is imbecile in execution, whose, efforts are objectless. That if tho ablest, mi ?id, which bas acquir? ed the habit of thinking during action. XXVill. JUE A MI ABL 12. Thc amiable is a duty most certainly, but must not bc exercised at "the expense aj? any of the virtues. He who seeks to do tha amiable always, can only be success? ful at the frequent expense of his manhood. The most tolerant nature in the world should always discriminate in its indulgence, if it would not countenance insolence, or affoid a sanction to the offender. Virtue requires that we should chasten, quite as often as humanity entreats us to forbear; and authority must frequently use tho scourge, j where affection would be only too happy ito embrace. XXIX. GOOD SERVANTS. If reu would avoid being angry with your servant, wait as much ae possible upon yourself. xxx. VIRTUES. Cur virtues aro but too frequently exer cijcd st the expensa of our charities. They should never be allowed to lift us so far above our neigh bora, as to c ake uu lese eight of their sorrows and necessities. !
