Ejhm. FOB. THE WSST-JEasKT OA2ETTE. Shall Ign'rance bind tlie youth in chains, Shall wisdom yield her wide domains ? Shall Science stoop, low bending down, And thus despoil her Laurel crown ) Shall unimproved our moments pass, Shall not our Father's glory last ? Whose virtues shine with' azure bright, liefulgent bbzirg in our sight. FOR THE STAR. Mt.Zlitotl donvt know that I covlJ iWTW" rederi in & mere accctUlle nan. berf 'tli bo try rqoUnr you t rive a la to the follow id extract irom Fenelon'tt Di. j logu od Eloquence. lt chicr aiMi ol trri. work is to shew, that the real object of elo quence is to fricite in tlie auditor virtuout ao noble seutitn.eats, and to impel them to gene rous and virtuous deeds, and that wheu elo quence falls hort of that, it fails of ita em'. On popular eloquence he observes, that the first thing to be required of a public speaker, is, that he should be a virtuous man : this he pro nounces to be indispenttibie to the success of orators. He asks how is a mercenary and ambi-' tious orator to cure his country ot corruption L and ambition i If riches are his aim, how is i he to correct the venality of his countrymen ? 1 k now, says Fenelon, that a virtuous and dis interested orator, should not be permitted fo want tlie necessaries of life ; but let him put himself ia the way of not wanting them : let his manners be simple, unpretending, frugal and ' laborious ; il necessary, let rum work with his own bauds, for his' KubsisteBce. The public mily confer honors on him, may invest him with authority: but if he is master of his passions, if he is really disinterested, he will never make any use of his authority for his private advan tage ; he will always be ready to resign it when ; lie canuot preserve it without dissimulation or flattery. To persuade the people, an orator should be incorruptible j his oloquence and tal ents will otherwise ruin tbe state. When a man has his fortune in view, he must please every one, ana manage every one : how is such a man to obtain an ascendantj over his coun trymen ? Does he seek riches ? Let him em brace some of the professions by which riches am acquired ; but let him not make hit speech en io the public cause the means cf tcquinng theto. r Feneftfh observes of Cicero, that th speech, es which, he made while he was young, rather a muse the mind than move the heart j that he seem.3 rather occupied by a wish of exciting ad miration, than by his client's cause; yet that even in the most flowery of these harangues he shews great talents of persuasion, and of mo ving the pastions. But it is in the harangues which he made in the cause of the ropublie, when he was advanced in life, that he appears to advantage. The experience in affairs of magnitude, the love of liberty, and the view of tbe dangers which surrounded him. raised him to efforts worthy of a great orator. When he is to support the cause of dying liberty, to ani mate the republic against Anthony, you have no longer a play of words, no longer an antithe sis ; then he is negligent j he finds in nature all that is wanting to seize, to animate, to carry off his hearers." In the same work, F. observes, that " to a perfect intelligence of the sacred writings, some previous acquaintance with the works of Ho mer, Plato, Xenophon and other celebrated writers of antiquity is absolutely necessary." After this, he says, the soriptures will "no lon get surprize." The same customs, the same mode of narrative, the same splendid imagery, the same pathetic touches are found in. each. Where they tliflert the advantage is wholly on the side of the scripture ; it infinitely surpasses all the writers cf antiquity in simplicity and grandeur. Homer himself never approaches the sublimity of the canticles of Moses ; of that canticle in particular, which all the children of Israel were obliged to learn by heart No Greek or Latin poetry is comparable to the psalms. That which begins The God of Gods, the Lord hath spoken, and hath called up the earth," exceeds whatever human imagination has pro duced. Neither Homer, nor any other poet. equals Isaiah, in describing the majesty of God, ; in whose presence empires are as a grain of sand, the whole universe as a tent, which to day is ; set up and removed to-morrow. Sometimes, as when he paints the charms of peace, Isaiah has . the softness and sweetness of an eclogue ; at ; others he soars sbove mortal conception. But what is there in profane antiquity, comparable i to the waitings of Jeremiah when he mourns over the calamities of his people ? or to Nahum, when he forsees, in the spirit, tae dowpfal of Ni neveh, under the assault of an innumerable ene my ? We almost behold the formidable hosts, and hear the arms and the chariots. Read Da niel, denouncing to Balthazar the vengeance of God, ready to fall upon him ; compare it with the most sublime passages of pagan antiquity ; you. find nothing comparable to it. It must be added that, in the scripture every thing sus tains itself whether we consider the historical, the legal, or the poetical part of it, the proper character appears in all." From the Richmond Compiler. Short hints fur wen of business. -In the course of m y life, certain rule have occurred to me as' useful to" all men erjaged in business. X beg permission to lay them before your tadera, a the results of an experience, which it 14 take them toot time and troaWe U acqvirv. 1st. Furiua the bniioeit yo are eogfitod ia with real and avidity. H ithoit amuchioasstrji and evta energy , your tine U1 melt away with little or no profit. It Tvllowt fron thif obvious rale, that yoa ought to concentrat jour attention upon" one particaUr lint of ban nets, rather than distract it among stvaral. If yoq have mas j different iron ia toe brt sotni of tbem will roost probably horn. Salt Mind Tsu.fveooctrns for i tart trait itaplicitfss U t-tua or Oerkt If t.ii wis pjtW we& sae, yvm cfifter U It yoorieir, or sec it Jooe bj othtra. Krti your agetrt will fttxiti learn to (hapis j0o, aa wn at neglect joor concerns, anlcss joa'stow-tir in terest in them yourself. Attend to jour busi ness, and he will attend to it. Ntgtact it your self, your Agent will neglect it If he does not take that man to your heart ; he is one man oat often thousand. 3d. It naturally flows from the last rule, that you must rise early, to see to the course of your business. The man, who wastes the first moments of the da? in bed. it'sur t. nnwW the same habit among all those who Kv$ within U .f L' n vic mute ui uis inuuence. 4th. In all cases, prefer your business to your pleasures. The former not only suffer from your neglect, but your reputation as a roan of punctuality and industry suffers with it. Thj world soon despises the slvggard, the debauch? or even the idle bon vivont. 'ine only time yo can devote to your pleasures, is jour leisure moments, that is, those moments which yoa snatch without injury from jour usual avoca tions. 3th. Let your credit always keep pace with your capital. Never stretch it, but on some great emergency ; lest you inap it Let th world see, that you are rather a man of regular business, than of bold speculations that you would rather make slow and sure gains, than venturesome risks that you labour rather than gamble in your vocation. Besides, in these dashin? enterprises, a man not nnlw mlr K,a a - j y . -J mm m9 own credit, but tasks the good humour of hi friends. 6th. Whenever you are under the necessity of appealing to your friends, to incur for yoa a tx'j serious responsibility, you ought never to ask it, unless you in your turn incur an equal responsibility for them, or make them tecur by a pledge of property .-These transactions, t know, are generally ordered in quite a different manner. Men hurry their friends into banks, or more perilous places, without caution or se curity. If they fail, away go their friends with them. This is a risk which very few men ought to incur, or to impose opon Others. If yoti ought to give security, of course joa hare rignt to ask it. 7th. Make no important agreement, unles you reduce it to writing. Men may prove scoundrels; or their memories at least prove treacherous. The ink will remain as it is f tut words, volatile words, will fly away and be fon gotten. Nearly a fourth of the causes, that lumber our docket, proceed from the neglect ot this obvious rule. Besides, death may sweep off one of the parties, and the other may be at the utmost loss to prove the existence or terms of the bargain. 8th. Observe tlie utmost order in the prosecu tion of your business : Enter every debt or credit as it occurs. Be ware of the foul fiend Ennui ; and mind the good maxim, to do every thing while you think of it. Have a place for every thing, and let every thing be in its place more especially your papers ; for more time is lost, and vexation incurred by a hunt after some straggling document, than is generally conceived. Have a place for all papers to be attended to ) and particularly for all Setters to be an swered for your correspondents will think themselves neglected, and sometimes feel themselves affronted, by a want of punctu ality. 9th. Take a receipt for all monies you pay or any debts 'in whatever way you discharge them. These receipts must not be taken on ' loose bits of paper, which may be mislaid from their place, or lost from their file. For what injury may notarise from their loss ! To re medy this inconvenience, I earnestly advise you to have a large blank book set apart for the purpose of registering your receipts. Should not your book be at hand, when you settle an account, still you must paste the receipt oh the blank leaf of your receipt book. I was particu larly struck during the trial of Aaron Burr, by seeing a blank book of his on which he had been so careful as to paste on the blank leaves every scrap of a newspaper which had been published relative to his concerns. Your receipt book " might be paged and indexed, and thus enable you in a moment to find any receipt which you had occasion to coasiiit. 1 Oth. Balance your day book at the end of eve ry week and your ledger at least Once in eve ry year. r 1 1th. Settle your accounts, aa far as possible, at least once in every year. Those who are unable to discharge their debts in cash, may bo induced to give you their notes for the same. Keep a note book for the purpose commtlng of blank notes V be fifled op. f our Mote affiTUe- r. 2 1 i h II tl VI r. vs..
