The whole character; may be saidlo be
comprehended in the term habits; si hat

grjpan ie jmpre deeply, as you reflect that
there ilu shaking it oto-iBut even this
would be noinore intolerable to bear than
many of the; habits of men ; nor would it
bej mote difficult to be shaken, off. r
Habits j afe easily fprmed-sjcially
such as are jbad ; and ivbat to-day seems
to be a small affair, will i soon become fixed,
arid hold you with t he s rength of a cable.
That- saine jcable, you will recollect, is
formed by j spinning and twisting j one
thread a a jtime ; but, jwhen once com
pleted, proudest ship turns her head
jtowardti and acknowledges her subjec
tion to its power. i
! Habitsj of j some kind tvill be formed by
every student. He willlhave a particu
lar course in which his time, his employ
ments, his thoughts and feelines. will run.
Good or bad; these habits soon become a
part of himself, and a kind of second na
ture. Vhiojdoes not kndw, that the old
man, who has occupied a particular cor
ner of the bill fire-place m the old house
for sixty years, may be rendered wreteh

Bastile, .who entreated that he micht a-
gain return j to his gloomy dungeon, be
cause t nis I habits there formed were so
strong, that his nature threatened to sink
under the attempt to break them up?
You will probably find n man of forty,
who has! noi habits which he laments.
which niar his usefulness,! but Which are
so interwoven with his very being, that
ue cannot DreaK inrougn tnem. At least
he; has not the courage to try. I am ex
pecting you (will form habits. Irfdeed, I
wkJi you to do so. He must be a poor
character, indeed, who liHs so .extempore
asinot to have habits of his own. Bui
what I wish is, that you form those hab-
itSjWhich are correct, and such as will ev
ery day and hour add tb your happiness
and! usefulness. If a manhvere to be toldl
that he must! use the axe, wjnch be 'now

1 . Have dplari laid beforehand for ev
eryday. I ", .,.iU--
These plans ought to be maturely for
med the evening previous, arid, on rising
in the morning, again looked at, and im
mediately entered upon. ... It; is astonish
ing how much moreiwe accompUsh in a
single day, (and what of else is life made
up?) by having the plan previously!; mark
ed out. It is so in every thing, j This
morning a man '.was ;diggirig a path
through a deep snow-bank, j It was al
most insupportably cold, and Ke seemed
to make but little headwra, though he
worked as if upon a wager. I. i At length,
getting out of breath, he paused, and mark
ed out the width of the path with his sho
vel, then marked out the width of each
shovel-full, and consequently; the amount
of snow at each throw of the shoyeL In
fifteen minutes, he had done more, and it
was done neater and easier, than in thir
ty minutes previous, when working; with
out apian. It is of little consequence by
what we illustrate, if we mkke t a.thing
clear, and impress it upon the mind. I
have found, in mv own experience as
puch difference in Ihe labors of two days,
Vhen working with, or without a plan,
at, at least, one half, without having, the
satisfaction, in the latter case, of know
ing what I have done. j
Experience will tell any man, that he is
most successful in his own pursuits, when
he is most carelul as to method. A man
of my acquaintance has a , small slate,
which hangs at his study-table. On that
he generally finds, in the morning, his
work for the day written down ; land in
the evening hereviews it, sees if he has
omitted any thing, and, if so chides him
self that all is not done. To make this
clear, I copy here what was found; on his
slate for one day, as I saw it this morn
ing: j ;'
a. Horse, errands, and dig paths.
b. Carry my child to school, and pay
postage bill. . j'
c. Write from 9 till dinneVat 1 o'clock
d. Write to C, inviting him-alsb to 1.
at N. H. : M
f. Visit Mr. M. sick, also the twb fam
ilies in Maple Street. .1' L
g. Get some straw foihorse wherever
it can be purchased. j
A. Prepare and preach this evening.
t. Examine the sixth vol. of B. to see
if any thing is there which I want
j. Last, riot least, to fix the pump sb
that it will not freeze Up.
1 at the close of the day, he finds these
items all accomplished, and that in such
ayay as to satisfy conscience, he feels
that the day has not been lost, i Some
times he finds he has misjudged, and has
marked out more than he caii do ; some
times he is hindered by unexpected; inter
ruptions, and therefore cannot do all, or
even half, he calculated to-do., hese
must be all weighed every night at -the
review. Be sure and review every night,
and when you have balanced the account
with conscience, lay out whkt you will
dp for the next dav. I

Such a system will not make a noisy,

is no state; so bad for the student as idle
ness, and no habit scj pernicious. iAnd
yet norie is so easily acquired, or, so difii
cult.to be thrown off. jThe idle man soon
grows torpid, and becomes the Indian in
his feelings, insensibly adopting their
maxim It is better to walk than to run,
and better to sit than tb stand, and better
to lie than to sitn Probably the man who
deserves the rriost b'f pity, is he who is
most idle ;! for as " there are said to bie

I am aware that, many; are exceedingly
busy, who are notmdustrious. Fpr itvq
ry frequently happens that he who is
most hurried -and,, bustling, is very far
from being industrious. A shrewd man
can easily discover the difference. " He
that neglects his knofnMduty, and redl
employment, naturally endeavors to crowd
his mind "with ' something that may bar
out the remembrance of his own follV,
arid does any thing but vhat he ought to
do, with eager diligehcei that he may
keep himself in his own favor. j
It is perfectly clear that he who is in
dustrious has really the most of leisure ;
for his timeT is marked Out into distinct
portions, to eaoU of .which something is
assigned; and hert the j thing is done,
the man is at leisure ; but a dead calm
settles oVer him vho lives an idle life.-H-Better
that the waters be straitened, and

So universal has the opinion of men been
on the point, that, in order to excel, you
must be industrious, 4hat idlers have re
ceived the just appellation of " fools I at

But the difficulty is,' they are found ;no

cannot at once reach: therii, you sit down
and give up an untiring industry. It was

AN ANTiDQTE TO RUM.
A serious obstacle in the way of the inebri
ate who is half persuaded to abandon his cups,
is found m the tormenting thirst his intempe
rate habits have induced and cultivated. The
description of his thirst, given by many from
Diner experience, jprpves va 10 iw an cueci pe
culiar to intoxicating liqyors Nothing else
will produce it ; Hit alcohol, even in a com
paratively small quantity, does riot fail to excite
it. It is sure, to follow a iiight's debauch f and
as the intemperate habits become strengthened,
so does thirst rage with increasing power.
Now what is the wretched victim to do, when
he feels this inward fire consuming his vitals ?
We tell him to; quit the practice of using intoxi.
caung arrnxs ai once. Ana ine auvice is gooq.
No other course is safe He is lost if he does
not quit at once. Tampering with the enemy
is only courting destruction. But the obstacle
is yet lying in his waythe unfortunate man
tells you of his fiery thirst, j And can nothing
be done for him ? , How can he cure his thirst I
Water may allay it for the, moment : but the
relief is not only momntajry. Indeed, where
habits have been long confirmed, watje only
increases the horrid burnings , -
Here, if we mistake riot, is the hidden secret
of the power with, which alcohol holds fast its
slave. Water cannot quench his thirst;, and
maddened with its raging he' seizes again , the
poisoned cup to gain relief ;a fearful method of
relief, which, though it drowns his thirst forJhe
time, is adding constant fuel to the flame that
is consuming him. Til
Is there, then, no antidote ? It isbeKeyed
there is. It is believed that by substituting a
simple draught of milk, this alcoholic thirst may
not only be relieved, but cured. ; Let the ine
briate who would escape from this degradation,
when his thirst returns-jfoij return it will be
when the hour returns we he has been ac
customed to gratify his appetite ?let him make
free use of milk, and in a fe w days he will find
his thirst entirely removed. . , ,
This opinion is not without the support of

MIL VAN BUREN ANI) THE SALT :
TARIFF OF 1827. '
Our readers have not forgotten the indigna
tion expressed a few weeks sincc,"by the editor
of the Enquirer, at the tax laid upon Salt by'tho
Tariff of 1842.- It was made the thcme.ofone
of those appeals to the prejudices of its aritl-de
luvians, with which that paper is wont to abound,
whenever the editor supposes he has discovered
a point upon which they are peculiarly sensi
tive J We are told that this tax, like the frogs
r
of Egypt, had insinuated itself into every house . '';
hold, and even found its way.into the dinneV pot
of the poor roan. . That this was all assertion,
unsustained by the least shadow of . proof, and t
that; the editor very well' knew it to be soy we
were certain; at the time ; and the statements of
respectable merchants, dealers in the article, .
who subscribe to the fact, that salt is cheaper "
at -this moment than it has been for years,
served only to confirm a foregone conviction; j
But we will admit for an instant, and for the . .
sake of argument, that a tax on salt has the' nb- T
cessary erlect of raising its price, and thus im
posing an additional burden on the poor niari. ;
We presume it had the same enectin l827
that it has . now; Let us see who voted agaiust
reducing the, tax on Salt at that time. - The fol- -lowing
statement is transcribed from the jour-'
nal of the Senate of the United States: -r
January 4, 1827. Mr. Smith of 3(aryliarid,
from the committee of Finance, reported a bill '
repealing, in part, the duty on imported Salt,
which was read and ordered to a second read-
ing.
1'
January 5. Read the second time, and con
sidered as in csromitteeof the whole, and, on, 4
motion of Mr. Holmes, ordered that it be riost-
poned and made the order of the day for Mon
day next. ' ' ; "7;. i, v::j.: ;f . -
February 2. -It was again the order of the ;
day, and resumed in committee of the Whole, ; ,
when, on motion of Mr. Van Buren, the Senate,
adjourned. , 7. - , 'r v
February 5. The Senate resumed as m ,
committee of the Whole, the bill repealing, in
part, the duty on our imported -Salt, and noi ; ;
amendment having been made hitherto, it was
reported to the Senate : and on the question shall t
this bill be engrossed and read, a third time, it'-'
was determined in the affirmative, Yeas 22,
Nays 26.' Tazewell absent Randolph voting
Yea. VAN BUREN, Nay !!1
jFeftrttar3rl5. The bill having been report-1
ed by the committee correctly engrossed, was f
read the third time, and on the question,' shall !
this bill pass, it was decided in the affirmative, ;
Yeas 24, Nays. 21. And the yeas and' nays '
being demanded, VAN BUREN votep JUT tfl j ;
Tazewell not present, and Randolph voting yea. i -'
So the bill passed. s 7 fi-.
Thus it will be seen that Martin Van Buren j !
voted; rk all its stages, AGAINST THE T
BILL REDUCING THE DUTY ON SALT. ! j
We do not pretend to impugn his motives. He 1
may have Lnown that the same eflect would bis
produced, which the tariff of 842 -has caused; !
viz : that a reduction of price would take place;41 -but
let him bear the full burden of his sins, flf.p
