[With the exception of Cervantes,,Qacvedo, Father Keyjou, and a few others, whom we ore compelled to praise, 1 know not whether even in England, and still less in America, the literature of Spain excites the just attention of the learned.—My alsn tier .trquaintance with the language enables roe to alHrin, that it abounda with writings which in dign’uy, spirit and grace, exceed works translated from languages much more fashgmablc. The apothegms of the iipatiish'nution are at pregnant with j wisdom as those of the Greeks. 'I'he fol. | (owing, III ver^. quaint terms, convey Ics* sons of prudence, which deserve, to he ptHthad and obeyed.} cud Spmieh Praetrit, lie ia a rich man who hath God for Vis Ivieod. He is the best scholar who hath (earoad.te lire welt. A handful of mother wit is worth a bushel of leurning. When all men say yon are an ass, it ntime tobruy. Change of weather finds discourse for luols. A pound of care will not pay an ounce of doht. The sorrow nien have forotlicrs hangs upon one hair. A wis^man changes his mind ; a fool nevrr will, ^'hat day on which you marry, you cither mar orinako youraelf; Cod comes t* see or look upon us without a hell. You had better leave your enemy some thing when you die, than live to beg of your friends. That's wise delay which makes the rJHd safe. Cure your sore eyes only with your eluuw. Let ns thank God, am! be mii- tent with what we have. The foat of the owner is the best manure for his land. lie is iny friend whogiiinls at my mill. Enjoy that little you have, while the foul is hunt ing for more. Saying and doing do not dine together. Money cures all diseases.' A life ill spent makes a sad old age. 'i'is money that nnakes men lords. We lalii, but God docs what he pleases. Ma^ you have good luck, my son, and a little wit WvH serve your turn. Gifts break through stone walls. Go not to your doctor for every 111, nor to your lawyer fur ct ery quarrel, nor to your pitcher fur every thirst. There is no better looking- glam tliat an old true friend. A wall be tween both best preserves friendship. The sum of all is, to srtwe God srcll, and to do no ill thing. '1 he creditor always hath a better memory than tiie debtor. Setting down in writing is a lasting memory. Ku- pentnneu aiways costs very dear. Good breeding and money make our suns gentle man. .\s you use your father, so tour chril- dren will use you. There is no evil but some good use may be made of it. No price is great enough for good counsel. Examine not the pedigree nor patrimony of a good man. I'here is no HI thing in Spain hut lliat which can speak. I’raisc the man. whose bread you eat. Keep out of an hasty man's way Fir a while; out at a siitleii man's ail the'days of your life. If yon love tn« John, your deeds will tell me so. I defy all feders, though they were made of gold. Few die of hunger; an hundred thousand of surfeits. Govern yourself by reason; though some like it, others do not. If you would know the worth ol a ducut, ge and borrow-one.— 'No companion like nmney. A good wife is the woikmanship of a good husband. The fuol fell in love with the lady's laced apron— Thu friar who asks for Cod’s sake, asks for himself too. Oort keeps him who takes what Cure he can of himself, Nulliing is Valuable in this won i exc.'pt as it te.ids to the next. 'Smoke, raining Into the house, and a lulkliig ' wife, make a man rsin out of doors. Theie is no lo-moiTow fur an asking iriend. God ke*l) me from still water ; from that which is ruuvth i will keep myself. Take your wife's first advice, not her second. Tell not what you know, judge not what you tee, and you will live ill (|Uier. Hear reason, or she will make herself be heard. Gifts enter evc- rv whore without a wimble. A groat fortune with a wife is a bed full of bramhies. One pill for your purse, and two for your mouth. There was never but one man who never did a fault, lie who promises runy in debt. He who holds hit peace gathers stones— J.eave your son a good reputation, and an employment, lleceive ymir money before Tou give a receipt tor it, and take a rccci|>t before you pay it. God doth the cure, and tli« pliysitian takes the money for it. Think ing is .very far from knowing the truth.— Fouls make great feasts, and wise men cat them. June, July, August, and Carlliagena, are the four best ports of .Spain. A’gentle calf sucks its own mother and four cows more (belwern the two own brothers, two witnesses, and a notary). The devil brings » modest man to the couru He. who will htve a m tie without any fault*, must keep itoae. The wolvet eat the poor ass that hath many owners. Visit your aunt, but not eve ry day ill the year. In an hundred years time princes arc pcasiims, and in an hmulred and ten peasants grow princes. The poor cat IS whipped because our dame will not spin. Leave your jest whilst you arc most pleased with it. Whither guest thou, grief? Where t am used to ;;o. Leave a dog and a great talker in the niiildle of the itrccu l^Iisccllany. THE LAY FREACIIER. * “ Remne torrow far from thee i fir ternn hath killed main, and there is no profit there- in,” DllY up your eyes, then, yt mourners; for'grief will Hut restore the iriends you have lost, nor abate the edge of misfortune; but as oil and the whetstone to tlie rstoy, it will sharpen that, which is already ton acute, and tile bleeding heart will open s still deeper wound. Why will you stfiv* to add oii« drop to this vale of tears, which, trust me, is already too full? why court the acciusiii- tanre of Grief, that sorry c jmpsnion, who, sobhiiVg and silent, aq, he jouriiics with you throiigli the wiJJerneK of this world, multi- p'irs every brake, and adds ten fold horrur to the gloom ? You have various and real evils tociicouiilcr ill your sore travails; the climate is Vuporoiia, and you must he sick; men art treaclierouj, and you will be deceived. Po verty will iionietiuies.start up, like an armed man bet. rc you, oiid your careful days be those of an hireling But he ul good cheer; and repeat not. with erring Solomon, in the day ot adversity, that laughter is mad, nor impel tineiit'.y inquire of Mirth, what doth she ; but believe willi luy predecessor, SteriK, that comforluhic sssenion is worth a million of cold honiilits ; that every time wc laugh, it adds something to the fragment of life— Xo pt fit therein t No, verily; the man of sorrow, who, wltli sullen Aliab, refuses to cat bread, uud charges his lime for tears,, is engaged in one of the mosthst ren U. least lii-- crative employments you can conceive. SiglisI have already considered as the very canker of the heart, and sobs the grand epitomixers of existence. Child of melancholy I if su-- Tow hath ktHed many, and there ia no profit therein, banish it from thy shades; for why, to the pathetic langoage of Kcleaiaites, ahooldit thou die before tiiv time? Uyl who arc tliote fair forms, the one with folded arms, and the other with bounding step, iiiimsteriTig like duteous haiidmsidi, at tile heciside of tiie Pbllosapher? 1 sec bis psUd cheek nliesdy flush; I hear bis voice Utter a bolder tone: wrinkles are no mure seen on his brow, and iiot a solitary tear traces its lonely way down l.is cheek; for PwTiBNce and Mian are before him. At tbcr aulutary ajqwwarh, the treops of caret, the family of pain, fly disronaolaie, and'free the vacant heart from Ibeir torturing sway. Gentle and beni^ant spiriit, meek Patience, pnd chirping .Mirthl whether roy cottage be unroofed by the stwnn, or my couch thomed by disease; whether friends grow lukewarm, or lovers it put for away; Irt your forms ^pcar, and the load of life will bj: no mom irfc.omc 1 for well i know your pleating arts, and Well I remember your numerous tu|nca of cMrolattnn—your music, your song, care, lesaiiess—Mirth and Patience, your philoso phy and resignation. Sorrow as the wise ton of Sirach, icHs ut may kill many, but ye can make alive, t^ome then to the unfortu nate, anil let the adverse hour be your favorite boMr of vitiation. Methodist hymns and spiritual songs Hippons hymns, The Scapular Tcsiainenis Psalters The Naked Truth, concerning sprinkling of Infants. •* Two men hclon;^ing to the Vireinih rifle regiment, a large ditision of vi'hic)^iiarter. ed in the town of Fnnraxter, Peinmivania, during the war, had such a dependence on enrii other’s dexterity, that the one would hold a piece of liavard, not more than 9 inches square, luitwecn his knees, whilst the other shut at it with a ball at the distance of one hundred paces. This they used to do alter- iiaitly, for the amusement of the town's peo ple, us ofirn as called upon.
