BY G. S. WEAVER. y, Every vouth should be educated, whatever p is to be his t rade or profession. There is 110 t! honorable calling in life that may not engage si unH uttaniiiui fif ;i whole mind. and 0 IUO lllici cat any .. , . t be adorned and made attractive by the produc- tl tions ofa cultivated intellect. tl If a young man is to follow agricultural pur- g suits, he should be educated for it. His edu- ri cation should be shaped to it. His mind should tl be fully trained, and its powers developed in ii the direction of their life pursuit:- He shoiild cl be made familiar with all the natural sciences, d such as Chemistry, Geology, Mineralogy, Bot b anyr and the-natural' history, character, and v physiology of animals; f?>r their breathing ti forms are all about him, and through his life d he must have to do with them. His food, his drink, Jiis dress, his all are within them, and b he*must draw them out. The touchstone of si his knowledge must he applied to their dead 1 and living forms, that, he, his wife.and children, tc may be surrounded with the comforts-and lux n - With Astronomy, Physiology, mental and h moral Philosophy, and the rudiments at least a ,of a thorough mathematical education, he a should be made acquainted, for these he needs tl every day. iji the care of his family, ami in his p business transactions with the world. His d course of studies, his mental' training, should f< be directed with a wise reference to Ids avoea- ti tiun. Not only his success.- but the happiness and usefulness of both himself and family depend u upon it n Again, noiqnly his mind, but his hand, should a be educated for his life's avocation. His pliy- 1; sical powers should he made not only strong n and vigorous, but should be strictly and prac- ti tically educated for his profession', so that mind s and body will act together for the accomplish- t; ment of his end in lite. A quack farmer i< like i< a quack at any thing eisc. And an agrietil g tural theorist unsupported by practice, is like a a theorist anywhere, a mere putf'ol" wind. Similar remarks may be applied to youth ,| who have designed to till any of the honorable , . . !l callings in wli ch inenlul Oil their earthly destinies. . first of all, a choice of business should be (| made,and made early, with a wise reference to ^ 'rti?.ii thf. vouth should i H SsU^ra\.ii,j anu iucwvi .... ^ , be'educated for it, uiul as mucii as possible in n it, and when this is done, it should ue pursi^J jj with an industry, energy,,and enthusiasm which |( \xili.warraut success. l A man or woman with no business, nothing ^ to do, is an absolute pot to society. They w are'thieves, stealing that which is not theirs;!

Frown upon them,"O youth. Learn in your heart to despise their course of sl life. ; . - ,r Many of our most interesting youth waste a j"1 great portion of .their eaily life in fruitless en- ' _ deavprs at nothing. Tlicy have no trade, no profession, no object before them, nothing to f' do; and yet have a great desire to do some- h thing, and -something worthy of themselves. t( They try this and that, and the other; offer p themselves to do any thing and every tiling, l" and yet know how to do uotliing. Educate n . themselves they can not, for they know not wlntl I' thev should do it for. They waste their time, j :1 ~V energies, and little earnings in endless changes : j1 and wanderings. Tlicy have nut the stimulus 11 of a fixed object to fasten their attention ami J t, awaken their energies; not a known prize to i win. They wish fur good things, hut liave no fl way to attain litem j desire to be useful, but j c little means for being s(?. They lay plans, in- | 1 vent schemes, form theories, build castles, but i 1 never stop to execute and realize them. v Poor creatures! . All that nils them is the j " want of an object?a ainyle olject. They look ; 1 at a hundred, and see nothing. If they should , j: look steadily atone, they wouldsee it distinct-; ' Jy. 'l'hey grasp at random at a hundred things " and catch nothing. It is like shooting among I a scattered flock of pigeons. The chances are | t doubtful. This will never do?no, ifcver.? ' o Success, respectability, and happiness aru found a in a permanent business. An early choice of i < some business, devotion to it, and preparation , b ^ for it, should be made by every youth. j n When the two objects, business and charac 1 y ter, as the great end of life, are fairly before a | o youth, what then { Why, lie must attain those | rthioets. Will wishes and nravers bring them | S into his Hands ? 15y no means. He network tl as well as wish, labor as well as .pray. His a hand must be as stout as his heart, his arm as f< strong as his head. Purpose mu>t be follow- si ed by action, words by blows. And these it must be repeated ' from morn till night, from > youth tili hoary age." "Continual dropping s wears a stone." So persevering labor gains a our objects. Perseverance is the virtue want- n ed, a lion hearted purpose of victory. It :s this li thttj builds, constructs, accomplishes whatever d 13 great, good, and valuable. Perseverance built the pyramids on Egypt's d Plains, erected the gorgeous temple at Jcru^a- h lem, reared the seven hilled city, inclosed in \ ndamant the Chinese empi.e, scaled the stormy, h cloud-capped Alps, opened a highway through c Hie watery wilderness of the Atlantic, leveled b Hie forests of a new world, and reared in its r ptead a community of states and nations, ft si ins wrought from the marble block the oxquiite creations of genius, painted on the. canvas lie.gorgeous mimicry of nature, and engraved n metallic surface the viewless substance of lie shadow. It has put in motion millions of spindles, ringed as many dying shuttles, harnessed a housand iron steeds to as many freighted cars, nd set them filing from town to town and fiaion to nation, tunnelled mountains of granite nd annihilated space with the lightning's speed, t has whitened the waters of the world with lie sails of a hundred nations, navigated every ea and explored every land. It has reduced lature in her thousand forms to as many scinces, taught her laws, prophesied her future lovenicnts, measured her untrodden spaces, ounted her myriad hosts of worlds, and comuted their distances, dimensions, and velociics. But greater still arc the woiks of pcrseCTiincc in the world of mind. What are the roduetioiis of science and art compared with le splendid achievements won in the human ml ? What is a monument of constructive onliid onmivirml ti'ifli flin livlnrr flnmr>Q nf louglit, the sparkling temples of virtue, and re rich, glory-wreathed sanctuaries of reliion, which perseverance has wrought out and cared in the souls of the good? What are te toil-sweated productions of wealth piled i vast profusion around a Girard, or a liothsliild, when weighed against the stores of wis oni, treasures of knowledge, and the strength eautv, and glory with which this victorious irtuc has enriched and adorned a great innltude of minds during the march of a hunred generations ? How little can we tell, how little know, the rain.sweat, the heart-labor, the conscience truggles which it cost to make a Newton, a [oward, or a Channing! how many days of j?l, how many nights of weariness, how many maths and years of vigilant, powerful effort, ere spent to perfect in them what the world as bowed to in reverence ! Their words have power, their names a charm, and their deeds glory. How came this wealth of soul to he lieirs J Why are their, names watch-words of owcr set high on the temple of fame? Why oes childhood lisp them in reverence, and age el a thrill of pleasure when they arc menioned ? 'l'hey were the sons of Perseverance?of uremittiug industry and toil. They were once 3 destitute of wisdom, virtue, and power as ny infant. Once the very alphabet of that mguage which they have wielded . with such' logic effect, was unknown to them. They niled l'Mig to learn it, to got its sounds, undertand its dependencies, and longer still to ob :iin the secret of its highest charm and might. st p"\v'r, and yet even longer for those living, lotinus thoughts which they haile it bc.tr to 11 astonished and a<lmiriug world. Their characters, which are now given t<? ie world, and will he to millions vet unborn, s patterns of greatness and goodness, were lade by that unliringperseverance which markd their whole iives. From childhood to age hpy know no such word as fail. Defeat only ave tlnm power; difficulty only taught them io necessity of redonliled exertions; dangers ave t hern courage ; the sight of great labors ispired in thorn corresponding exertions So has been with all men and all women who ave been eminentlv successful in any profesion or calling in life. Their success has bceti relight out by persevering industry. Successful men owe more to their porsoernnec than to their natural powers, their ipnds, or the favorable circumstances around rem. Genius will falter by the side of labor; rent powers will yield to great industry. Taint is desirable, but perseverance is more so. t will make mental powers, or, at least, it will trengthen those already made. Yes, it will lake mental power. The most available and rc'-essful kind of mental power is that made y the hand of cultivation. It will also make friends.

The Turks have a proverb which they oftc repeat?it is this : The devil tempts all otlu men, but the idle man tempts the devil. I hof none of my little readers will be idle; it is ii deed now getting to be a common tiling forelii drcn to do nothing. In old times children use to help their parents in the afternoons and o Saturdays; but now many children spend a their time in the woods fishing and liuuting.llow much better would it be for them if the would help their parents, and work in the garde or in the field, or spend their time reading som good books. You never hear of a lazy man b< coining a great man. I know some little boi who do not like to get themselves a drink < water. They would think it a disgrace tobrin a pitcher of water, or to cut a stick ot 'woo<i,.< make a fire. Tliev consider work of any kin too low for them. Some of those little bo\ when tlicy are grown will find it very hard t have to work for a living. And, instead of go ling into some business they will rry an oasii plan, and go to the billiard table and win cnoug in that way ?if not successful in that they wi I steal. How much better would it bo for children I learn to work and to love it. The Lord requiri it of you, dear children, and you must give a account, of every idle hour you spend. Wlit you lie down at night ask yourself how you ha\ spent the day. What have you done for you self or for those around you i Do nol lot id boys tempt you to go astray. Remember tim i< living.

We were introduced to tli !n school and heard some of the classes recite wit 'e. great credit to scholars and teachers, who, thoug r" themselves might have occasionally to spell oi 'e a long word, yet, had done their best, therefoi had done nobly. They had taught many t K spell out their charters to Ile.iven from uoa own book. M.-mv of the learned and noble, o re retrospection lily's work, mii^lit desire to sa; I'" they had done as much.

The si 11 perintendent informed us that bating the seai >e tineas of the library (and might, not this soon I -c' remedied for them?) the school was in a vcr K* prosperous condition. We judged as mud '.V from the numbers, order, and attention. , \\ )' judged as much from his untiring devotion toil interests.

Cojipagnon du. Voyage. Camden, S. C., July 5th, 1803. Liberty of Speech. The editor of the Now Yovk>Frccjna>is Jourmi, the organ of Bishop Ilughes, speaking of y Gavazzi, says: ?r ? * "YY'a snv further that nnv man who should " unwillingly or accidentally, hear the Italian booJ by make use of such language, and Jiot forthwith ^ break his mouth, must be possessed-of very little of that pardonable exuberance of irascible mettle \ that distinguishes the man of honor from the } sneak." ir ^ It is very strange indeed, that these priestly [. foreigners who have been cherished by our instiy tutions, and who for the first time have become "e acquainted with the sweets of liberty by setting n foot on our soil, should be tbe first to cry down e the liberty of speech and the press. t Gavazzi has just as much right to speak and t write as liishop Hughes or any of his sattolitcs, , but because lliey with all their priestly hypocrisy, happen to be the object of attack, forsooth, ,j they must talk about "breaking his mouth."? II Upon the same principle, Bishop Hughes and h all his ghostly advisers should have their mouths } broke for railing out against our institutions.? r. Let us illustrate the position of these men. a Suppose a company uf men erect, at much exe pense and trouble, a magnificent and extensive palace, furnishing it in splendid style, with every r_ thing the heart could wish or the eye desire, and ? not being able, to fill all the apartments, they ]. should say to poor and oppressed neighbors who I, surround them, come, occupy these well-furriished rooms, t hey arc at your service. Wc so frame |e the instrument of compact that you with us may e enjoy the like freedom and privileges. They and I, their little ones flock in and thus live in the best I, style, having great great freedom and enjoyment unknown in their former history. In the course of lime these benevohnt philanthropists pass 0 round to inquire after the health and prosperity of these new occupants, who have been so mun nificeutly cared for. But, instead of being received with demonstrations of joy and kindly j] feelings, they are frowned upon, despised and delt tiounced as heritics. "'I 1-4 it.-I- ?*,r.n\?io ir,. ^ x liyy ivium; let men tuuuitu ii.wi.mn iv gcthcr; tlu*y rail out in bitter words against the ie very compact itself, which lias afforded them an _ asylum, and even go so far as to make the in,r sane effort to wrest away all right and title to the premises from this benevolent company. Now, we ask in all candor, what sort of con)e demnation should be visited upon the heads of ... such cold-hearted and unfeeling wretches I And , yet, strange as it may appear, Bishop Hughes J and his priestly advisers stand in just this posiLs tion to these United States. t. We have erected a magnificent temple of li0 bcrty, at the price of patriotic blood and treas.. lire, and in our constitution, we invite the op0 pressed of every nation, to come over and share 's the priceless l>ooii of liberty. n In trooping thousands, they sit down under ^ the tree of liberty; thevoccu >y our well-furnished and richly stored apartments, and in return for all our munificence, we are denounced as j| hcritics; the Bible upon which we planted and p based our liberties, is reviled and burned ; our 0' free institutions are sought to be destroyed, and when one of their own number throws yff the clandestine vows that bind thorn together and s exposes the baseness of their purposes, and tears oft' the mask that covers their dark plots, they forsooth must talk about "breaking the Italian ir booby's mouth."
