To yield the Morrow to despair as now.

But wait a day, and ihe black curtain* ope; '

The fever goes; alie pulse subsides; wo dream,
And fanciesagather to our aid! Wo eoe,
Ever through Ute vast of vacancy, a gleam,
That cheers us, thoogh it may not sot us free.

VIII, TRUTH AND J?DOMSMT.
- Shakespeare says, (see the motto of th?
'Let.cur Just censar*, attend the tra? ?rent.'
Obey this direction, and you hare, per-'
haps, the very beat principies oipoa which
a food model newspaper should be con?
ducted. It is to embody the fros event.
It is not to indulge ia picking vp random
3 reporta, for which there is nb good , an?
thority, or if so, it is to warn readers
against a too ready credence 'gWen to
rumor; and it is to weigh the rumor so
cording to a just judgment upon its in?
herent probabilities. It is lo sift events,
so ss to settle certainly what is true and
proper is th**n, sad upon these it is to de?
liver a just judgment. Censure, by the
way, ia the old English, is only another
word for judgment. Then, again, Shake
pears, in another place, speaking of s man
of highest reputation, describes him as
KS-rsat, in mouths of wisest censure*
IX. WHERE OUR WXALTH?
Accumulations are not wealth.. They
are moro apt to be impedimenta, as bur
.* depsome to the mind as to the shouters,
sud producing unnatural fears, imbecility
in action, and a too frequent shrinking
from the first great duty of society-pa
triottam. Our best possessions li? in ou:
performances; and he may be said to o A I
nothing, to whom the world owe* nothing
Better bo a creditor of all mankind, thai
. a bankrupt in:their esteem.
r. aoQuigmoK.
Our true acquisitions ha,only in Qu
chanties. We gain -oijly aa we gi vt
There ie ao boggav so destitute aa bs wi:
* vm* afford nothing to his neighbor.
xi. vjtxi?? AN? BEL? Mtiasr!
We are quite too apt^^brfoucd fv?\it
with Self E??.eera the ?croser ie aivrays
weaknessy -though aomolie.es^sb? aiulsbl
ooo. lise Isttop is froqueutly sig*a?lci,st
strength, though ita exhibition, w quite too
often at tho ?pens? of ?te neighbors.
Vanity may be likened to the smooth
skinned and velvet-footed moose, nibbling
abont for ever ia expectation of a fcrumb;
while Self-Esteera is too apt to take the
likeness of the bog? hatcher's dog, who
carrie? oil your steak?, and growls at you
as he goes,
UL SECRETS.
It is said that he or she who admits the
possession of a secret, has already half re?
vealed it. Certainly, it is a great desi
gained towards the acquisition of a trea?
sure, to know exactly where it lies. Cu?
riosity needs a clue only to begin the
search. The misfortune ie, that the key
which cannot open the look, may yet suffice
to spoil it. It is seldom, inaeed, that a
secret .is stolen without impairing its in?
tegrity.
