questioned him beyond his mastery of the

acquaintance with the sciences T While
attenticn has been laudably devoted to de
veloping, expanding and storing the mind
with knowledge, no systematic culture has
been bestowed on the conscience and the
moral feelings : nay, scarcely an antidote
provided against the impure but fascina

generally has the birch-rod betrl the index
of moral discipline? Happy the youth who
could find the requisite culture at home, in
the instruction and example of a Christian
father, or in the teachings, the example, and
prayers of a Christian mother. For such
culture his tutor didnot hold himself res

ENCOURAGEMENT TO YQUNU MEN.
BY S. G. ARNOLD. 'r
the celebrated uannah More tells a
beautiful story of an oh) clock, which sud-
denlyicame to the resolution to - sioptiek-
nig, in consequence oi Having inougnt over
the vast number of ticks which jt would be
obliged to make in a given time ; but which
was induced to resume its accustomed la
bor, on learninc. that although it was re
jjuircd w iMakc si'ch tin incTwlihlo jiumbXT
of strokes, yet a certain amount or"Time
00ld-1wyb3iy
though a tliQusand strokes rmgfit be thought
of in a moment it would not bo required to
accomplish them in many hours.
Now it has often appeared to mc that
'ourig' men are discouraged from making!
those exertions which are necessary to suc
cess in playing the great drama of life, by
precirely the same reasons which governed
the farmers old clock. When they look
forward to the toil, privations, and sclf.de.
nialwhich arejequircdto ;.obtaia kwiwl
edge and distinction, they are startled at
the sight, and, . although jfhany of them set
out with the best intentions and the most
praiseworthy ambition, yet as soon as they
find that knowledge is not obtained by in
tuition, but is the result of hard and inces
sant toil, they weary in'the way of well do
ing, and, like the old clock, soon become
tired of tickitig.
Thercrts another class of young persons
who seem to be impressed with an idea that
the mantle of greatness, like the dew
of heaven, falls upon the gifted sons ofgeni

much tliCyrcsult of effort as of fortunar-nnd,

lutely requisite tef success, and without
which they can never attain to any high de.
gree-of excellence however:JibeTOlry-they
may have been endowed by nature. This
is a delusion which cannot be too soon dis
pelled; An honorable distinction is pur
chased only by" toil and self-denial by
painful vigils, and persevering efforts. It
requres tho 'same steady and unceasing ap.
plication which was exhibited inthependu
lum of the farmer's clock, and, like . that
clock,, it will be well for all our young friends
to-ieflect that although many ticks must be
made before they arrive at the consumma
tion cf their hopes, yet a moment will al
ways be allowed for the accomplishment of
each tick.
I know many complain tlitfTthcy have
not time that they arc obliged to labor for
their hrcadt -that Providence has denied to
them the means of -Storing their minds with
knowledge. But is this really true ? Is it
not-Tatlier trtie that mostyoung fnen Twasfe
the time which has been abundantly provi
ded for the cultivation of their minds, in the
polluting haunts of dissipation in scenes
of idleness and - self-indulgeneein ; the
vanities nnd follies of fashionable life ? Is
it not true th.at they squander their time
in a most wanton and wasteful manner with
out any just appreciation of its value or any
apparent know ledge of the mighty results
which wouTdToliow its careful improve
ment? Look at the example of that persevering
young man, William Cobbett ! Born of
poor and obscure parents, he was brought
up without education, and at the age of
twenty was scarcely able to read intelligi
bly. " At this time, or soon after, he ran
away from honie, and found himself in Lon
don with only half a crown in his pocket
He however fortunately found employment,
and devoted his spare moments' to the im
provement of his mind, and at the end of a
frear had read all the books of a circulating
ibrary, to which be found means to sub
scribe, and had made himself a very fair
writer. After this he enlisted as a soldier
and came to America, where he underwent
nately persevered in the cultivation of his
mind ; and in the tumult and bustle of a
camp, commenced and completed the study
of the English Grammar.
' By such means it was thai Mr. Coblctt
became one of the most powerful and volu
minous writers of the age ; and finally, rais
ed himself to a scat in the - British Parlia-
ment. . By such means the poor unlettered
boy, without relations and friends, whiles
private soldier, and on a pay of. sixpence
per day, laid the fouhdatioiiof a name
which is not soon to be forgotten. His bed
was his study, bis knapsack was his book
case, a board laid across his lap was his wri
ting desk , his time the hours redeemed from
the duties and bustle", of a camp. Even
to buy a pen or a sheet of paper, he was
obliged to forego some, portion of his dally
food, already narrowed down to a scanty
pittance, and to obtain light for tlte evening
was utterly., impossible ; yet, amid all
these difficulties,-Mr. Cobbett found means
to progress in his pursuit- after knowledge
and toJay the foundation of his subsequent
fame:
Tlie example of Dr. Franklin is but lit
tle less instructive. Bred to the trade of a
printer," and, from a boy, obliged to labor
With his hands for his subsistence, he con
trived so to redeem his time, by applying
to some useful purpose the hours which
others throw away in idleness-: that lie be-
came one of tho most distinguished men of
his own or any dlhcr age. And the cir
cumstances of Franklin are the circumstan
ces of thousands. He was apprcticed to a
regular business, with no other means of
support jihan his daily employment He
felt the same disposition which other young
men fee,l to'spend his time and. money "in
the pursuit of what is commonly called
pleasure ;"but the example of men who had ,
under every , disadvantage, , raised them,
selves to respectability, stimulated him to
exertion : he denied himself these pleasures
I lie boi'ght books with his scanty earn-
nigs jmu spent ins nours in reauing. ins
industry, punctuality, faithfulness and
knowledce, brought him into notice, and .al
though for many years he continued to la
bor with no better prospect of distinction

The case of the celebrated Dr.. Adam
Clarke affords another instructive example
"for the encouragement of young men under
difficulties, tins evtraordinary man was
of poor but respectable parentage, .and
started in life without, friends or education,
and the early part of his course was a con
stant contention with the difficulties of his
position : but the poor and unfriended boy,
by diligence and a choice economy of time,
skm became" the" Tornrraniorrof -thewise
and great, and besides being one of the
most learned men of his age, was also
one of the most extensive and usefal au
thors. .'...'
Now if men under such very discourag
ing circumstances have pressed forward to
tbe attainment of an honorable- distinction,
why should not dthcrs do the same ? It is
true that, like all the farmer's old clock, it
requires a constant ticking a constant vigi
lance lest the half hours and the minntcs
run to waste ; but let no one complain that
he has not the time ; and especially let him
be careful that he docs not throw away half

By a proper improvement of time, there
is not a young man in ourbroad and beauti-
fut country, who might not oblain an ex
cellent education, without neglecting his
daily business or any important duty ; be
sides laying up for himself a sure and cer
tain store of happiness on which he could
draw at any moment of his life and proVi
ding for himself and family an ).onorablc
name and a comfortable liveliliood.
Let the application, the unwearied pcr-severance-and
noble example -of thors-,-sti.
mulate them to excrtionrThcjr facilities
of acquiring knowledge arc tenfold greater
than those of ClarkcoxFjnklin, or Cob

It is almost impossible to 3Wate the

even in flic course of so short a time as is
allotted to human life. Witness the vol

Let me say once more, then, to my
young friends, that the path of honor and
distinction is before them, and that the con

in u few words : i"
Iun au old man, nearly .eighty-five yeac
of age. In the early part of tny life, it was
tlie fashion to use spirits occasionally ; like
others I followed the fashion , furnished my
self with good s?pres of spirits, brandy, gin
&zc., and sometimes wine. I made use of
ing of any ill consequences from the use
of them, as l meant to use them moderate
bj. This course I pursued between 60 and
70 years, certainly long enough to give it a
fair-trial; Aboufr44year-ago4y aeei.
dent, without forming any resolution to
abstain or signing any temperance pledge,
I omitted using any spirits for ten or twelve
days, and on reflecting a moment., I thought
I felt as well or better without than w ith'
them. From that time to this, f have not
used any kind- of ardent spirits. Occa
sionally I took a glass of wine, though not
often, and used cider with my dinner. For
twoTcars past, ! ha c"dnm1mo wiric,-snd
no cider since September, last, (eleven
months.) During, this period of nine years,
though far advanced in life, I have enjoyed
l)etter health than at any .'former period of
my life, irom the experience 1 have had
.ofrflflarly . seventy years, I am convinced
that no jierson in health receives any ben
cfit from the use efany intoxicating liquor ;
as for myself, I am confident I should have
liad mpre real enjoyment if I had never
used a drop of spirits, and shoutd have
saved a good deal of money, which I con
sider now worse .than thrown away. It
has been said, and believed, that people in
the decline-of life need some stimulants.
At eighty years of age, I find myself not
old chough to need them, and am deter
mined not to use any kind, unless prc$crib
cdly a physician.
Were I to live my long life over again,
I would make no use of intoxicating liquocs
of any kind; and my sober advice to young
people is, if they wish to enjoy' the good
things of this world, to preserve their health
their reputation, and their money, to ab.
stain from intoxicating drink of every kind.

POLITICS OF THi: DAY.
Jbia Tyler of Virginia.
It is not a little remarkable that in the ex
cited political contest which has for several
months past been sleeping over our whole
oministration papers
so far as we have been able to learn, ' has
ventured to assail the Character of the Whig
candidate for Vice President.
Why tl lis has been the case, we are not
prepared to say. True his cliaractcr is al
together out of the reach of just censure,
nut so is Gen. Harrison's, yet he has been
the subject of tlie most foul and constant
abuse from the present party in power.
We give tlie following sketch of Gov.
Tyler which is taken from the New York
" Log Cabin," and from which our readers
will see that the People's candUhtoJor the
ice Presidency, is quite a dmercut man
from the candidate of the Van Burcn party,
it indeed thoy have a candidate.
. " We .wish every freeman in the Union
were acquainted even so slightly as we arc,
with John Tyler, the Reform Candidate for
Vice President of the Unitj-d Stales. A
nobler representative of a nobler raej, the
frank warm-hearted; hospitable-Planters of
Virginia, we never hid the good fortune to
meet. Simple and unpretending in lux man
ners, all his habits and tastes lor ined from
bis life-lonir intercourse with his brother
tillers of tlie soil, though often at the call
of his country mingling ih"1ier Councils
with the loftiest, Gov. Tyler is just such a

for a neighbor or companion,- and witl
whom anv plain citizen would enjoy a so.

'" Mr. Tyler has been honored with the
highest stations in tlie gift of his native State'
among others those of Governor and
United States Senator. To the latter, he
was eleeted over John Randolph, ousting
that eccentric genius" in tlio fullness of his
fame, by a vote of 115 to 110. Since that
time (1828) he has been prominently4efore
the eyes of the Union. Yet who can recall
one act or vote throughout his Senatorial
career w hich justly subjects him to a cen-
sure? None.11" 1 -
" Gov. Tyler was educated in the strict
est scliool of Jelfersonian Democracy, and
has ever been an ardent disciple .of that
scliool. He came into the Senate a decided
supKrtcrof tlie election of Geo. Jackson,
and of course of his Administration. He
did not hesitate, hdwever, to oppose and
defeat such measures of tlie- Executive as
his judgment pronounced pernicious and
his, vote and influence w ere cast-against
several of tlie President's most cherished
yer
but exceptionable nominations to office. It
was doubtless unpleasant ithuV to provoke
the wrath of the potent chi-ttaiu wlo ruled
-j-tlie-Natiottend -was thedolof theyominutrtr
party, but duty left no alternative. After
Gen. Jackson committed his great error of
permitting himself to be oflered a second
liTfieTist cimdidntrturHlte 1'residencyf Mr:
Tvler perceived tiiat the tendencies of the
Government. to deviate frrhn the Republic
an track became day ly dav stronger and
more controling; and when the Dcpos'itrs
of the public money were removed from
the National into fifty State Banks by the
simple edict of tlie President, in defiance
ufa direct yyte.id" Congress, o tlit formal
opinion of his own Cabinet, and of the
strenuinis' resistance of tlie officer chrriisf."
ed by law withthc keeping of the Public
Moneys, Mr. Tyler pronounced the act
most desjtotic in its character and dangerous
its cunupiencwf and oppoiwd it wrtn all
his powers. The attitude -he then a.ssumed
he has since firmly maintained."
" This resistance to the first of an invin
cible chieftain, was by no means the first
fcvidei ice fiorded- of the steTnindrpcndence
of his cliaracter. In the preceding year,
the measures of Gin. Jackson against the
attempted nullification of South Carolina'
were under discussion in Congress, warm
ly supjKrted by the great mass of the peo.
pic of oil parties. Mr. Tyler was.opposed
to nullification, and had done all in his pow
er to avert the impending crisis, but he de
precated the passage of the Force Bill as
TataT to" The independence of the States.
His .single, solitary vote stands recorded on
the journals of the Senate in oiHsition to.
the passage of that bill. It may have been
a mistaken one, but the prineipjes which
governed, and the feelings which dictated
it, will commend ifrcinsclvcs to every manly
breast."
"InlS36, Mr. Tyler's indi k .-ndencc
and.integrity were subjected to a still stern
er trial. The senate had deliberately voted
that the president, in causing tlie removal
oftlie deposites, had assumed powers not
confided in tjieni by the Constitution -and
Law. Anew Legislature of Virginia, di
rected the senators from that State to vote
for the expunging of this nsolution from the
journals of the Senate. Mr. Tyler deemed
compliance with this mandate an abject
prostration of the dignity and independence
of tne Senate at the lootstool of executive
power. He was a republican, ahd could
not vote as he was directed; but he was
also a firm believer in the doctrine that a
representative is bound by the wishes of
his constituents, and' lie could not vote
against what appeared to be the commands
of his- wtnnia. uui rn? course rimin-i
consistent with his principles and honor; he
resigned the station to which he had been
recenllyjbr a term of six years and retired
to the "shades of private life. I Ie has since
represented his county in tlie legislature,
having bcen.electcd by a unanimous vote ;
and he has received the votes of tbe whig
members for L. S. Senator, but he has not
sought office ; and he was the only member
of the National Convention at Harrisburgh
Isst winter, to whom his nomination to the
second office in tlie Union was a source of
embarrassment and indifference. Bv all
besides, his acceptance under tlie delicate
circumstances in which he was placed, was
received with a burst of enthusiastic joy and
thankfulness as the bond of nuion, aud the
assurances of a glorious triumph.'"
