SEQUENCES. The pathway of life along which man is destined to travel, is 'ever beset with the most dangerous temptations. From the period'when the light of reason dawns w4u.iBtllt,MBtil he sinks into the grave, he is ever bound tu guard with" the" utmost" vigilance and precaution, the citadel of his alTections against the encroachments or vice; for the music of her syrens fal s softly" on his ear, and her emissaries of death are ever dressed in the most fascinating garb. In no way perhaps has she a chieved more conquest,. than by in stilling into the bosom of the young man in early life, a thirst (or show and extravagance. So long as he remains under the pareh rat 'rooff Subjected to the scrutinizing eye of his father, this disposition may be curbed and restrain ed. But the hour eventually comes, when he is to take his departure for the walls of an academy or college, and then comes on the change. Now he is tu heir no m ire th kind expostula tions of his father, admonishing him to beware of the numerous temptations with which his pathwayhrough life is beset. The council's of that mother who watched over (him in the cradle with untiring vigilance, and who has led him along the slippery paths of youth, are tvr be heard no more. He qms iwome-w-iecAanAijnq.. scenes of his childhood, with mingled emotions of El.idnes ahd sorrow. On e enlerln tlie walM ot an academy cr college, a scen presents itself to his view, quite different from any he has ever witnessed before. Hi! sees him self surrounded by young men, whose characters and dispositions he find, io'manv respects, to be quite dissimi lar If he poss-sses a generous and affable disposition, there are never f nting those who are ready tn take advantage of his youth and inexperi ence; and while they greet him with cordiality, and wear the smile of friend ship and affection on their cheek, they are -devising j.iiheirnwo dark and fiendish bosom, Btratazemsby which t'tev may lure him from the walks of virtue and destroy him in the laby rinth of vice in which they themselves are entangle.!. Professing to be his warmest friendsT IhefTfiueceed in im- posins on his credulity, and he is quite surprised to meet with such kindness and aflVctiou in the land of strangers. As the v have succeeded in winning his affections, by fawning lycliophancy. they commence to miuse into nia oo som that noisno wliich is to wither and blight every noblf and generous emo- tion of the soul, iney nrsi express their-surprise that a you Dg JDinwliose personal attractions arc so prepossess ing, and whose parents are so extreme ly wealthy, should dress himself in or- lirtary apparel. ,WM such honied phrases and soft speech, they fan tile flame onus Tim- ' ty. until he acquires, like mem, an in nl "X . r i JTrirrr-r' travagance. Soon he finds the fund l money which he received previous to his leaving home entirely exhausted; and lured on by the tide of his vanity, he contracts debt after debt, until he finds his accounts are multiplied to an alarm ing extent. He now remembers, (but alas! too late!; how his falh r bade him beware of the associations and connections which he formed on enter- ng his academic or collegiate career; he remembert, moreover, one ol his most frequent admonitions was, never to permit his nnroe to be registered on an account book, but to pay roreveryT srticlewhu hhe purchased on the spot. These reflections drive "sleep from his eyes, anil slumber from his eye lids; ami ...thoughts of care and anxie ty begin to trace their furrows nn his once calm and placid brow. And now. for the first time, his companions pre ent the fatal pack, and tell him of the fascinating nature ;f the game, and in sist that there is no more impropriety in playing cards for amusement, than there is in playing graces or battle- iloor with the ladies. loured by sucn language, he becomes their scholar, snd. perhaps in ne solitary ."night, is initiated into all the mysteries of this fiendish employment. But watch him when he retires to his solitary celtr Mark the silent tear as it courses its way along his pale cheek, and hear the deep-toned sih of anguish, as it is heav ed from a bosom, torn with remorse as by a vulture's beak. Hear now his promises and resolutions; but alas! his passions have gained the aacendancy over his judgment, atid when the charm is ajain spread, his vows are unheeded and forgotten. The fascinating game, repeated time after time, hits Tost its novelty and its interest, and he is a- 'gain left to hit own dreary and jlootny reflections. He has already communicated to his comrades the sad intelligence of hit being deeply involved in debt, and : Aonaiiiiiai am.-i f I tnam consults with tnem to Know, u mere tllllBU 1 19 vim .1.,.. - . , 4 .

The young man in forms his lather that such is his ex treme indisposition, that he has been advised by .the'5 faculty th withdraw from the institution. His father sup posing the indisposition of his son to have originated from his intense ap plication tn study, regrets extremely that he is under the necessity of leav ing tlie institution so soon. But what language can express his astonishment and mortification, when he meets his son for the first time, bearing on his countenance the index of a debauchee. And with what remorse does the son meet the keen glance of that parent, whose a Ivire he has neglected, and whirse kindnaM Wha-ipftyml--Uh the basest ingratitude.

He now sees himself disgraced and sunk in the estimation of the woild; and, having lost all respect for himself, he chooses the bottle for his constant com panion, and, visiting from tipling-shop to tipling-sliop, he pours down one li quid draught after anothor, until the current of his life is dried up, and he sinks into. a"premature grave, covered wiih obloquy and disgrace.
