TllE Dll.lf OP WATER THE BROt k, THE RIVER, AND THE OCEAN.—A dlOp of WUlfr that sparkled like a jewel in tho sun, once (fill from the clouds’*imo a little mountaiu stream, und ere it* lost ideutity exclaimed in all the auguisli of desolation, “Alas what a exstrophe—I am swallowed up in immensity."—The little stream laughed as it leaped down the mountain side, at the lamentation of such an in.ienific.nl thing as a diop of water, and, rain of its conse quence, continued braling its crystal way in all tho pi icle of conscious supeiiority, until at length, with a sudden plaug, it fell head* long into a mighty river and like the drop of water, who los! in moment, crying out, its last agonies, “O, Fate !who would have thought a brook of my sizo could be swal lowed so easily?” The river murmured its contempt for the little fuoliish stream, and continued its course, gathering its strength and pride, broaking through mmiii* tains, tearing rocks from their seats, and bursting in a thousand graceful meanders through flowery meadows, until it found its way to the vast and melancholy ocean, in whoso boundless waste it lost its wa) like the drop of water, and the little moon lain stream. “Is it possible, exclaimed the mighty river, that I have been thus collect ing tribute from half a world only to become nothing at last?” 'Tis thus with thee, O nt m!—Thou begincst in insignificance, like the drop of water; thou becomes! a laughing, lerping brawling thing, liko the brook; thou 'vast proud and great, I'l;o the mighty rivet: and ere thou canst say, in the vanity of thy heart, “Wla' an illustrious mortal ant I,” thou art lost in eternity.—Fables by jjuul- ding. Tout! DionItv—Tine dignity consists not in the loolsih strut of the proud devo tee of fashion: nor in tho mind ol a prison who has a swift discernment of the slight est insult; nor iu tho hjiiigltliiiess, which will not design to look down on a fellow creature. Its tabernacle is in oftener in the pure hen nr i's abiding place is in the quiet, contemplative soul. True dignity may not ho positively known hy any outward appearance- Is owner, lie in whom i; dwells only knows its detractor It ns tea dily seeks an abode in the heart of tlio heg. gar or peasant, as in the hi vast of a courtier or a king. It is the mind that posesscs true dignity. It has no feature therefore to he suited ik though on tho countenance ma) lie it-flee* led, as it were some of its biightuess. At firs , its enjoyments would he pru- neiii'cod selLsh; hut,finally, they am found not to be so; for a man can have none nt the enjoyments, unless lie scatters arnuiiri liini “tlie charities that soot lie, and haul and bless.” A human being with true dignity, then is the happiest of Gad’s creatures. No- that the princmlo makes him so; but that the acts lie performs for the good of his fid low men send buck upon him th< ir hallow ed ir-flumccs and awake tlio mind to an examination of its pure and holy nature. The mind thence being cateliilly studied, is found to be 'lie source ol all true pleasure: the paridice of earth is restored nnd the heart is always kept holy, tenders the life of matt bountifully blest. And lightning.flush, and hurried wheel Of sulphury clouds, and black— Like armies in their wrathful might, Impetuous rushing for the fight, Charging, aud hilling hack— Were veiling fast from mortal eye The face of the ou-looking sky. Men hurried quickly to and Iro, And whis’pered as they uassnd along. Haggard and pale were some with woe— And flume were gmy with rune; For there bn men, with impious breath, Will scofl in the very face of Death; Laugh ut all human hopes nnd fears, And scorn t/io Christian's prayers and tears. 0'ic incident in lift* of iff.

His coui t nance, though without ele gance of feature, is peculiarly pleas ing, from the benevolence of its ex pression, unusual at his years which lights up his eye wheu he discourses on any intercs ing sub ject. H is manners are those of a llnished gentleman; yet rather, 1 should imagine, the spontaneous result of an innate and natural del icacy of thought and fueling, than of imercourse with polished socie ty.
