The rej are two wo rd s i h ou r 1 angu age which serve as finger posts to point out unerring the road to fortune. Guided by them no one can ever fail ; with magic power they baffle the storms of fortune, and turn back the Hood ot - il I upon its sources: their results are sure, though every thing else in the world is measurably- uncertain 5 their reward may be calculated on, - while all other calculations depend upon vague and variable circumstance. Shall I name them r they should be taught to lisping children. Shall I comment on them ? They should be practised from youth to age. ; Hear it Industry and Perse verance combined in the far famed Phi losopher's Stone which turns whatever it touches into gold. It is the basis of fortune rthc pillar of usefulness and the key stone of wisdom round which all the virtues move. , The family land relatives of an an cient inhabitant of II. : had assembled at his late residence &Weekafter his decease, to hear in what manner he willed the disposal of his property. He had a large and lucrative farm, and three children, jrown up to be young men. The eldest was decreed the es tate,, and as was much the custom in those days, the two youngest brothers were left a small legacy each f sum sufficient, with industry and perse ve rancei to found a fortune om". "Our father," said ' Charles, unmoved when he heard the sum of his fortune our father leaves us a valuable portion-; it consists not only in the best advice but in the strongest motive to put tliat ad vice in practice." - : i . 'i'he brothers had been brought up to the occupation of cultivators of the soil, and held it unwise to leave business iri which they were well versed tor any other ; they therefore set about prepar ing to make their entrance in the world aa agriculturalists. ; Their plans were soon laid. To procure comfortable farms in that country, for it was not far from Philadelphia, was impossible without involving themselves in debt they resolved to emigrate to the Sus- Suehanna, and chose a situation, where leir industry might avail them more, abd where their means would be suffi cient to enable theni to make a begin ning; with perfect safety They,chose a spot of ground, after considerable re search, and settled down in: the bosom of th e vast an d u ntnxl d en fores t.

The Scene, indeed ' was far removed from the influence of fashion, and the haun ts of pride; but the earth yielded her lux urious treasures in as rich abundance, as it did beneath the sunshine of wealth's proud splendour 5 it was as ready to make rich its vigilant husbandmen there as it; was within the orbit of the sun of civilization. .'ne hold and enterprising brothers laid here the; foundation of a rich' and extensive sehlement, and peopled it in process of time with a virtuous and in- dUstrious progeny. Their children brought bp to labour, inured to fatigue and taught to be osconomical and care ful, followed closely in the patli of rich-, es beaten by their parents. The el dest of the brothers died at last ; his survivor lived to a more venerable age. And it was when the snows! of more than ninety winters pressed upon his head,; that he sat one evening rn, the d oor of his neat, cottage , looki ng at a little company of his great grand chil dren sporting on tlie " green before "his shaded door. The sun was retiring behind the western mountains, and faintly threw his last beams upon the blu e waters of th e si 1 en t ri ver. The bleatinjr of numerous flocks Of sheep and the lowing of numerous herds fell like the music of autumn "on his ear. His thoughts wandered back to those days, when in the confidence of vouthful viffour, and the blessina: of providence he first struck an axe into the ancient oak Of the thick forest. It was on the Very spot ' He recalled to memory, the house of his father, which he hadfnot now seen for seventy years; the recollections of an elder and a be loved brother who had once inhabited it. r That goodly heritage had long since passed to strangers. His brother was in i the rest appointed for all living and his family scattered to the four winds of heaven. As he gave way to these tender and sad associations his brother's ( original circumstances and subsequently life ranged! themseves in view with Ws oyzi -and he called his little family around him and thus addressed them : Listen my children to the voice of age, for; agejgiveth experience, and expert ene'e, maketh wise. You are most of you the sons of comparatively j wealthy parents, as I was. But fortune frown ed on me al most as soon as I had be come familiar with her. name ; she may frown on you.
