We often hear individuals complain of bad luck-they can't got along; every thing.goes wrong; nothing prospers. Says one : Every business t hat I undertake falls through, and all my plans prove of no a- i vail-and he comes to the conclusion that he was born to misfortuue,and gives up of t tentines to despair. In my opinion, the true secret of most I men's misfortunes, are attributable. in nine t cases out of ten, bad comILpany. bad habits. or bad management ; and that their had s luck is more the result of their cwn con- tl duct, than of surrounding circumstances ; f and it is generally the case that, " those a who grumble most at t he favors of dame c Fortune," are those very individuals who n do the least to merit her smiles. n Now can it be asserted that those per. s sons who neglect their business. and loiter fI their time in idleness, spending their stii lings at a grogshop, and their dollars at a cock pit. gambling table. or brothels, can \ ever hope to be prosperous, or succeed in any business, or uudertakina? So far from getting ahead in the world, and nak ing money. they would squander the for- l tune of a Girard ! Says a practical writer of much expe- S rience in the world, - 1 never knew a hard n working early rising, pruder.t nan, careful k of his earnin;s, and strictly honest, who it complained of bad luck. A goo-l charac- c ter, temperate habits, and iton industry, t are impregnable to the assaults of -11 the bad luck that fools ever dreamed of." g But. says one, would you htave me delyve from day to day. like a swine, without re g laxation or pleasure of any kind ? Would it you have me a niggard. and never expend u a cent, save fur the necessaries of life? rr By no means! fl Relaxation, and seasons of leisure, de- III voted to pleasurable pursuits, are not in compatible with systematic and untiring t industry ; but let them be a rational char acter, -not calculated to airect injuriously S health, character or forLune; nor is a rea- n' sonable or even liberal expenditure of tao- .g uey inconsistent with thritt. u But how much better to spend one's Sj money in charity, in the amelioration of the condition of our fellow -men, the ad ancement of the cause of religion, science, and the noble enterprises of the (lay, than in ministering to the worst passions of the h human heartefteriog.t grossland sensual. g struenvetotiothers.- FERGUSON. ti7 Curefor Hydrophobia.-We have been it requested to publish the following, said to a be a preventive of hydrophobia. as discov ered by a French physician, M. Cossar: '-Take t wo tablespoonfuls of fresh chlo ride of lime. in powder-mix it with half a ti pint of water, and with this wash keep c the wound constantly bathed, and frequent- a ly renewed. The chlorine of gas pos- si sesses the power of decomposing this tre mendous poison, and r enders mild and harmless that venom against whose resistr less attacks the artillery of medical science has been so long directed in vain. It is 0 necessary to add that this wash should be a applied as soon as possible after the inflic- fE ion of the bite. The following are the re- c subtsofthistreatment: From 1810to1821, il the number of persons admitted into lires- c lah Ilopital was 181; of whom only two died, From 1793 to 1824. the number ad mited into the Hospital of Zurich was 223 persons who were bitten by diFferent animals, (by dogs.) of whom only four died." Marriages.-An eastern paper gives a out the following notice to "all whom it v may concern:" "All notices of marriages, whero no\ ride cake is sent, will be set up in small type. and placed into some outlandish cor- I ner of thte page.

As the culti atorsof the soil, it is but rtght that they hould reap the benefit, when from the umerous causes of fluctuation in mar ets, the price of produce is raised above s ordinary value. But is this often the se? D+ those who, by the swet of iwir biow, have sowed and reaped and atheted in the golden harvest, profit y the increased price of flour or other rains?
