It is all well that there should be the strongest desire of rising in the world. But what is ris ing in the world? Here is all the difficulty. Is it for the prosperous man to move in a big ger house, and patronise the tailors, and mil- lencrs, mid the upholsterers, and give splen did entertainments ? This may be perfectly allowable and proper, as the reward and nat ural consequence of industry and frugality, hut it is not rising itf the world. It amounts •o nothing but simply patronising tailors, mil liners, upholsterers, and cooks. The only way to rise in the world, even for the prosperous man, is to cultivate his mind and manners, and educate his family. It is not to set up his carriage, though this may be perfectly allowa ble, if he can afford it. it ; s not to resort to this or that watering place, though there is no objection to bis doing that, if he pleases. It is to raise himself and family ill the scale 'of moral and intellectual beings. It is not to bring tip his sons in idleness, under the prepos terous notion of making them gentlemen, and third, I in so doing make them fops and dandies, in- ninte- List of Letters, Remaining in the Post-Office at Athens, Ga. on the lr/ of February, 1812.

The hair of a young girl cannot change its colour without some very extraordinary cause. She must have been subject to some terrible calamity, some shock. Perhaps her husband was murdered in her arms; or she dropped her ehild as she was dancing it at a window and dashed its brains out on the pavement.” “ Excuse me, gentlemen, your conjectures all fall to the ground,” said the doctor, in an authoritative tone; “can’t you at once per ceive that this charming creature is not a mother; perhaps unmarried.” “How old may the poor tiling be?” inquired one. “Sixteen,” replied another. “Eighteen !’ exclaimed I, scarce knowing what I was saying. “What! yon arc acquainted with her, then?”exclaimed all in a breath. I made no reply. “ He surely most be able to tel!, ns some thing about her,”doggedly remarked one of parlv. “I slirewdly guess that this young maiden owes her white hair to some cross in love, some ” In a paroxysm of despair 1 seized the*hand of the last speaker. “Hold, sir; spare me; I am a wretch—a perjured villain.” _ What effect this. outburst of my anguish, this involuntary confession of my wrongs to Henrietta—wrung from me by a guilty con science—produced on by auditors, may well be imagined ; hut luckily for me, at this mo ment, the orchestra let loose its thunder; all that noise and fury signifying, nothing, that characterises modern music ; and the curtain rose again. But what fictitious sorrows; what love, treachery,.despair, could vie with mine ? My remorseless memory pictured, in colours too true and faithful, how she had vowed to me her innocent, weak heart, and its dawning affections ; how 1 had sworn to fie eternally hers; to adore her whom 1 had so shamefully forgotten and forsaken, Alas! now, too late, perceived that I had poisoned all the springs of life and happiness: that the Henrietta whom 1 had left so blooming, so confiding and happy, was now, with white hair and a broken heart, sinking fast into the grave. “ Miserable wretch !” 1 ejaculated “is it too late to redeem the past?” A thought flashed across the darkness of my mind—too late—no, perhaps your repentance may make all well again. The mighty power of lovc—I will throw myself at her feet—will—i— My resolve was made—ihe performance was nearly at an end—i rushed out of the pit. stead of men, and thus prepare for squander ing lus estate much faster than he amassed it. It is not to educate his daughters wilh merely showy accomplishments and with the expecta tion that this world is to be ns n show, and life a holiday. The best symptom of rising in the world that he can give, is to despise the follies of American society, to set at naught the des- whnt was acted i polism of fashion, to perceive and resist the ab- -- - > Miiuiiy ill a LuvHuvvo tutiiiiKiiiity aniuwill^ III the footsteps of the idle and worthless aristoc racy of Europe. It would show hopeful signs of rising above the vulgar, both great and small, if he should refuse to countenance the nonsense of turning night intodav, and day into night: and as the end of.society is enjoyment, he would perceive the ridiculousness of going to a party of pleasure at his usual hour of retir ing to rest. It would show that he was rising if he should bring up lus sons to some use till, hon orable, and profitable employment, and save them, from the degradation of living to show off their persons and their clothes in the streets —if lie should in fuse into themindsofhis daugh ters a slrong tincture of common sense, of eleva ted duty and responsibility, instead of an oppor tunity for the indulgence of ambition, vanity and selfishness. The present condition of our country would seem todeinonst rate, tliat it is impossible for man kind to be permanently prosperous and hap py, even under the most favorable circumstan ces.; that they may as well be afflicted and struck down by war, famine and pestilence, for if left to themselves and provided with ev ery thing to make them happy, it is only to pi tinge themselves into a misery deeper in pro portion to the exuberance of their blessings. But it may be asked, if these evils 1 have been enumerating are hopeless and without cure? If they are, why draw such a humilia ting picture of our national character? 1 an swer that the case, is not hopeless. The rem- dv is at hand, and of the easiest application. All that is wanting is the revival of common sense, and the assertion of. personal indepen dence. No nation has more of both these qualities than the Americans, but circumstan ces for the time have put them both in abey ance. Fashionable habits do not sit well on the American people, 'l’lie very people who conform to them, have a secret contempt for them, even while submitting to this bondage They are scarcely ever hereditary, for they are not suffered to he so by the rapid changes which the commercial revulsions bring about. Common sense is perpetually uttering her voice against them, and that voice will be clear er and louder as the. community learn to trace to them those public distresses which in such rapid succession sweep over the country. There is, too, a sense of personal indepen dence among us, unknown tinder any other form of government, which is mighty in strength, but has hitherto been working like the gigantic Cyclops in the dark, and wasting ing its lorcein an aimless radicalism. It is n good tiling corrupted, and es matters now stands'works little but, mischief. But the time. I hope is coming, when this gitnt will have the use of eyes as well as hands, when intelli gence will be diffused among what are now Termed the middle and lower classes, and rouse them to sec what a miserable use they make of their names, when it constitutes the highest object of their ambition, to wear the same, sort of a hat or bonnet as is worn by those whose only ground ofdistinction is, that they are the first to adopt the latent fashionable absurdity. YVith the spread of intelligence, it is to he hop ed, that the conviction will gain ground that the sacred pleasures of home do not arise from establishment, elegant furniture, a luxurious table, hut from virtuous affections, true hearts, and enlightened minds; .that the delights of society do not spring from cumbersome and costly entertainments, which enslave the en tertainer; not from expensive attire, which is Tho managemeut of Children—Power of the Voice—Kiudueu will be the most effectual. It is usual to attempt the management of children either by corporal punishment, or by rewards addressed to the senses, or by words alone. There is one other menus of govern ment, the power and importance of which are seldom regarded, liefer to the human voice. A blow may be inflicted on a child, accompa nied by words so uttered, ns to counteract en tltely its intended effect. Or, the parent may use language in the correction of her child, not objectionable in itself, yet spoken in atone which more than defeats its influence. We ur« by no means aware ol the power or the voice in swaying the feelings of the soul. The anecdote of the good lady in regard to her minister’s sermon is to the point. She had heard a discourse from him which pleas ed her exceedingly. She expressed to a friend the hope that he would preach it again.— “ Perhaps,” said her friend, in reply, “ lie may print it.” “ Ah,” said.she, “ he could not print the holy lone." There is a tone in the pulpit, which, false as is the taste, from which it pro ceeds, does indeed work wonders. So is there a lone in our intercourse with children, which may be among the most efficient uids in their right education. Let anyone endeavor to recall the image of a fond mother, long sin:e at rest in heaven.— Her sweet smile and ever clear countenance are brought vividly to recollection. So also is her voice, and blessed is that parent who is endowed with a pleasing, utterance. What is it which lulls the infant to repose? It is no array of mere words. There is no charm to the untaught one. in letters, syllables and sen tences. It is the sound which strikes its little ear, that soothes and composes it to sleep. A few notes, however unskilfully arranged, if uttered in a soft tone, are found to possess a magic influence. Think we that this influ ence is confined to the cradle ? No — it is dif fused over every age, and ceases not while the child dwells beneath the parental roof. Is the hoy growing rude in manner and boisterous in speech. ? I know of no instrument so sure to control these tendencies, r.s the gentle tone of a mother. She who speaks to her son harshly, does but give to his conduct the sanc tion of her oyvn example. She pours oil on the already raging flame. In the pressure of duty, we are liable to ut ter ourselves hastily to our children. Per haps a threat is expressed in a loud and irri tating tone. Instead ot allaying the passions of the child, it serves directly to increase them. Every fretful expression awakens in him the same spirit which produced it. Whatever disposition, therefore, we would encourage, in a child, the same we stionio nintmesl m tne tone with which we address him. There is nothing more desirable in adaugh- ter than intelligence joined to a gentle spirit. The mind is fashioned and furnished, in the main, at school. But the character of the af fections is derived chiefly from home. How inestimable is the confidence of that mother in producing kind feelings in the bosoms of her children, who never permits herself to speak to them with a loud voice, and ip harsh, un kind tones. 1 have heard of a father, who, when his children became engaged in a dispute, would at once require them to unite .in a song. The Absurdities. To attempt to borrow money on the plea of extreme poverty. To make yourself general ly disagreeable, and wonder no one will visit you unless they gain some palpable advantage by it. To sit shivering in the cold because you won’t have i fire till November. To suppose the reviewers generally, read more than the title-page of the work they praise or condemn. Tc keep your clerks on miserable salaries, and wonder at their robbing you.—> Not to go to bed when you are ti> - ed and sleepy because it is not bed-time. To make your servants tell lies for you, and afterwards bo angry because they tell lies for themselves.— T° tell your own secrets, mid believe other people will keep then). To render a man a service voluntarily, and expect him to be grateful for it. To expect to make people hon est tiy hardening them in jail, and afterwards sending them adrift without the means of get ting work. To fancy a tiling is cheap be causeia low price is asked for it. To say a man is charitable because he snlrscribes to an hospital. To arrive at the ago of fifty, and bo surprised at any vice, folly, or absurdity your fellow creatures may he guilty of. To vote tor a candidate at an election because he shakes hands with your wife and child, and admires the baby. * ' , Keep yourself always decent in dress and decent in appearance. A thousand little mat ters, which, at the time, seem of little impor tance, but help to make up a man’s respecta bility. Comb your hair; never appear with long beard; brush your teeth. It is said that “white teeth in a man’s head look like tomb stones over the grave of gone victuals.” If they do, they are an honorable monument. If you wish to avoid domestic troubles, don’t marry. It you wish to ovoid a whippingdon’lfight. If you wish to avoid being dunned) never run in debt.
