to view the subjects that surround us is
i friends, to csll to recollection their dis;
tinrtirc lineaments of character, to ar?ay
them with something of intelligence or
utility, and to enjoy an intimate companionship
with nature. The female aborigines
of our country were distinguished
by an extensive acquaintance with the
medicinal properties of plants and roots,
which enabled them, both in peace and
war, to be the healers of their tribes. 1

though in the morning of youth a charm
is thrown over the landscape, evrry inequality

be expected to do, and ought therefore

still there U no need that domes'

They may'be united by diligence

Hand tenting.-?Of the number ol'
young men who are yearly aent from col-.
lege into ihc world, how few are there |
who write f.ifii a tolerable hand. The
aillv notion that it is a mark of genioa to'
w rite badly, is tbeeaua** of many a young
man's spending hU days in idleness, who
might otherwise make an indsatrivoa and
uaeful citizen. There is no pursuit in life'
in whirh to write a good hand will not be
found uf use. There are many i? which '
to write weil is indisnensable to aucceaa.1
Even amongst those who route to the bar,
we have no rloubi test the notion to which
we hare adverted Is often the eitde of a
failure to get business. In the e?nt
menrement u a young lawyer's career, {
any kind >{ business which will givs M*t?
an opponunity of showing an acquaintance
triih his profession is desirable,?
To prepare documents with legal skill is
important; and to prepare them in l neat, }
accurate, and perspicuous manner, is |
likewise c?-ry desirable, lie whp can ?lo.
both will have an advantage over bimj
wb? can do only the former, and %tlt, la!
congruence, be more likely to get quick-!
iy into* some kind of business. After obtaining
one kind of business, others arc
apt to follow. We make these remarks
in r? gard to the legal profession. I?eeausc
a catrlrsa hand-writing is more often
foetid t ere than any where else. The
other employments of life would admit ,
of simular illustrations.
