J. HI. IIEPIJURN. 'BOW TO GET RICH. Almost every man of businees has. been rich, or at le'ast prosperotu, at some period of his life, ad if he is poor now, he can see very pell bow he might have avoid ed the disaster which averthraw Ihis hopes -He wI~probably see that his mislar tnes arose frotm neglecting some of the followitgles: Be industrious; every body knows that industry is a fundament al v'irtue in the man of business. But it is not ever sort of indtusiry that tends ta wealth: ~any -men work~btrd to do a great deal of buisiniess, and after all make les money than they would if they di less. Industry should in expended in see in to alt the details obbusiness; to care fg6ishing tip ofoach separate underta king, andio the maintainance of such a system auwill keep every thing under cog trol. Be ecenotmical. This rule also is famil iar to eveh~ol. Economy is a virtu' o be padevery hour in a great city It is to bepiretiedtn pence as in ponds A sbillingaday saved amounts to an es ta.t. nubertnrse of a life. Economy especially important in the outset of life until the foundation of un estate are laid. Many men are pour all aheir days. because when their necessary expenses were small they did not seize the opportunity to save a small capital, %% bich would change their fortunes fur the whole of their lives. 'Stick to the business in which you are regularly employed. Let speculators make their thousands in a year or a day : mind your own regular trade, never turn ing from the right hand or the left. II you are a merchant, a profre.aonal man or a mechanic, never buy los or stocks unless you have surplua money you wish t-) in vest. Your own business you understand as well as other peoples you do not under stand- Lea your butsitess Ie some one which is useful to couinoiry. Ali such occupatrons pousscb ilc elment of' peioti in themselves. Never take great hizaris. Suc. haz ards are seldom well balanced by the pro, rects of profit; and if they were, the halb it of mind n hich is indanecd i, uniavura-de and generally tae result is tbad. To keep what yo have, should be the first rule ; to get what you fairly canl, the secoand. Do not be in a hurr% so get rich. Gra dual gains arc the only nutural gains, and th--y who are in a lansac ito le re-t break o ver sound rules, fall into temaafaation and distress of various sorts, and generally fail of their object. There i, na use in getting rich suddenly. The man who keeps tst business under his control, and saves 1om1e thing from year to year, is always rich. At any rate he potesses the highest eu joytent which rictacs are able to atfurd. Never do businrss for the sake of doing it and being counted a great merchant. There is often maore money to bo mado by a smller hnsineas than at large oe, and that busines nill in the end be fet-o, res pectalle which is most succesftul. Do noat get deeply in dce!.; but so taannge as al wrays if possible, to have your financial position easy, so that you call turn any way yon please. Do not love money exitava;:nntly. We speak here, merely in refereace to getting rich. Inu morals, the inordanate love of money is one of the most degrading vices. But he extravagant desire of accumula tion. induces an eagernes. many times, Jour. of Commerce. Religious Melancholy.-Many persons of a rellgious turn of mind, behave as if they thought it a crime to be cheerful. They imagine the whole of religion con ssits in certain mortifications, or denying themselves the smallest indlgence, even of the must innocent amusements. A per petual gloom hangs over their counten ances, while lie deepest melancholy preys upon th-ir initds. At lenagth tle fairest prospects vanish. every thing uitais on a dalm-al appearaance, and those very ob jects wh.ich otght to gi'e delight. alTord nothing ut di-gust. Life itself becoecs a burden. and the unhappy wretch. per saaded that no evil carn equtal n hat lie fe-l s, ofiena puts ai end in his miserable eistence. It is a great pity that evcr religion should he so far pe verted as to become the caus- of those very evils which it was designed to eure. Naiehtig can be better calcul:atl than tre Ieligion. ta raise and sulport the minid of is vOtaries under every afflictior that can befall thern.

Imaportanf Derisian in a~ JRei;ious Con iroterst.-The I-'nt;!ish house of Lordls have receently madle a fatnni anti somewhat singubiar dlecision, itn the long conttested ease, known to many of our readters a Ladhy liewley's charity. This cotasiste-d of certain manors in New Yoark. heft lay Ladty Hewley, in the time of Charlesc the Secontd, in trust to suppotra --odly preach era of Christ's [loly (Tospel."~ a phrase used at the time of her wili, to devignato Protest ant disceoer... In prce~ss of time the trust fell etnirely into the htandls of the Tunitarians. Attention was drawtt to ther subject by the Report of the Charity Com missioners, aread a bill was filed in Chan cet-y to dlispossess the Utnitariats. The Vice Chancellor atnd thte Lori Chiancellur decidedl against the latter Ont an appeal to the Lorda. the opainiona of :he Judges was taken, andl they, decided that Untitar-ians do not come within the terms of the truset decel,: Mr. Ja--tice Erekir-e observing ihant those whot dleniedl the Trinity wet-e blas phemerst; aand therefore they could taot lhe intended by the ter "egodlyp preachters." This decision is an important one, and. heing final, will tr-1e from this dlenomina tion a fund important to its existence. The Cincinnsti papers mention the loss of the fine steamboat Vicksbrurg, on the - Mississippi. near the mouth otRed River. AShe cost $60,000 in 183g. A Nero England Story.-We have often been diverted at a tale of old times in New Englaun-short, to be sure, but to he point. It so fell out two young people became very much amitten with each other, as young people sometimes do. The woman's father was rich-the Vouting man poor, but respectable. The father could stand an such union, and ubsulutely opmosed it. and the daughter dared not 4tsobev-tbat is to say, she dare not disobey openly. She "met him by nrnlight." while sahe pretended never to see him-sie pined wasted in spite or herself. -She was really in love-a state of "sighas and rears. which woman oftener reach in imagination than in reality. Still the tCtlier remtainied inexorable. Time pas,ed on. atndl the rose on Mtary'. damask check passed off. She let no cnucealhnent, like- a -'worm in the bud." prey on that damaiw-k cheek. however; but when her f.ither avsked her why she pined. she alway.s ul.l him. The old gentleman was a widower. sod loved his girl dearly. 1li it been a wilawed. mother who had Maryin charge. n woman's pride would never have given wnoy befiore the impor. rinities of a daughretr. Men are not. however, so -tubburn in such mnatter, and the frother aqw his daltghter's henrt was really set upo.:n thie mitch, he surpised her one day spaking out--'Mary, rather than mope 1o death, thee had better ma rv. assnas 8 cI-c ciouses, and who thee p;leases." And then whanti did .iTarv!-wait till the birts of the air hod toldi hir swain of tho change. or until lier father h:ad limte to nl ter his mind again? Not a bit of it. She clipped her neat plhin hnnet on her head. walked directly into the street. anti then directly to he hiuse tif tier intended as the ,irret would c.irry tier. She walhed into 'lie house with'.o knooking-for knocking wa4 n1o4 then fasihtonihie. ani she found the family jisat %itting down to diiner.

The following is another letter of Mr. Clay. It would scem that thisgentleman as time advances, is gradually losing more and more his temper. and becoming more and more reckless in the expression of bia opinions In 18-1 his desperaiign will find no bounds.

A bankrupt or insolvent law, dlischarges a m-i from the payment of his debi's le;:ally but not morally. It relieves him fromt the vexation of eheriffs aind suits in court, but it does not relieve him of the duty to pay his debts if ever he is able. It is designed to relieve those who are irretrievabily involved in debt; who-e hantds are tied so that they cannot help themtselves; who, the moment they accumulate a little property to enable them to trlansact biusiness, are liable to have' it anatchted from him byv some creditors. To relieve such persons bankrupt laws are in tended, hut they are not tdesig ned to ro wnove, or wipe out the just claim which every creditor has to his honest dues.
