ought to think”—nay, “ in honor pre-

have your energies bold, vigorous, free,
—your nature roused to the develop
ment of all that is enterprising and
practicable,—if you would stand in the
world’s crowd respected, useful, honor
ed, you must cherish the belief that God
made you for high and noble purposes ;
that you are not expletive members of
society—mere parentheses in the geneal
ogical paragraph of your generation, but,
men with souls and brains , to think,
hearts to feel, hands to execute; and
that while all may not be princes
among the worthies of the land, yet that
your light may shine, your influence

him, and occasionally he was found with

. chanalian ..revelry. His_~ true friends
expostulated within to convince him of
the injury he was doing : himself. But
he still resisted^ His practice began to
■ fall offhand many looked on him as on
the sure road to ruin. He was advised
to get married, with a view of correct-
s * n S l 1 * 3 This he consented to
-do, if tlje right person offered. He ac
cordingly paid his addresses to'Miss
Gamble. After some months* atten
tion, he asked her hand in marriage.
' |she replied—“Mr. Wirt, I have been
well aware of your intentions lor some
time back, and should have given you to
understand that vour visits and at
tentions were not acceptable, had l not
reciprocated the affection which you
evinced for me. But I cannot yield
"my assent until you make me a pledge
never to taste, touch or handle any in
toxicating drinks.” This reply to Mr.
sided with his grandfather Macdonald,
a native of Scotland. In the spring of
1840, our hero left his home on Red Iliv-
lor Canada, under instructions from
his father, lor the purpose of receiving
a mercantile education, and reached
Mackinaw in the summer of that year.
Our informant met Ronald at Mackinaw,
and embarked with him oii the steamer
Buffalo, tor Detroit. Ronald crossed the
river to Sandwich, and proceeded on his
journey to Toronto, where he remained
several years.
r He was, at the period alluded to, a
lad of eighteen, intelligent, manly and
frank. In person muscular, well form
ed, and above the ordinary height. He
stated that he had never seen a while

accepted the conditions offered by
the government, namely—to allow the
guests to go separately to the banquet,
instead ol forming a procession calculat
ed to cause a disturbance of the peace ;
and as soon as the guests were seated, a
Cotnmissaire de Police would protest
against the meeting, and his proces-ver
bal be made the ground of a proceeding
at law, for the sake of testing the legal
ity of reform ‘banquets. To a man
whose mind was imbued with constitu
tional love, himself a lawyer, such a
proposition ought to have been tempt
ing. Pleading in a court of justice,
there was afforded to him the opportu
nity of achieving a moral victory, and,
perhaps, laying the foundation of a
plan for working thro’ the institutions,
for the correction of institutions, instead
of by appeals to brute force, By re
fusing the offer made to him, M. Barrot
did the great harm of allowing the
mass of the people to fall into the error
that the banquet bail been forbidden,
and that the government had drawn the
sword. His last act, wise a9 its was in

attempted execution, only served'to

comrades, of residing among that pecu

granted, and poor Macdonald, in a small

idious self-couceit, too wise to be taught
—and yet too contemptible to be pitied,
—and a just estimate of ourselves, a
becoming sclf-respcct, that chastened
pride of character, that subordinate love
of praise, without which no man was
good or great. It is overweening
vanity, an undue complacency in our
merit, or conscious forfeiture by vice
and depravity of all right to the world’s
respect, which engenders disdain of
public opinion. It is the peacock in
self admiration spreading his beauties
to the sunshine, or the fox retreating
discomfilled from the grape arbour,
that affects indifference or independence.
A well regulated desire for the esteem
and approbation of others, so far from
proving vanity or pride, indicates the
contrary, because to seek by laudible
efforts for the good opinion of others,
demonstrates that we do nol overvalue
or sit down contented with our own.—
You will prove recreant to your duly
and your country if in the plenlilude
of self satisfaction you retire to luxuri
ate in the dreamy delusive belief of un
exampled powers, traitorisusly leaving
the world to its darkness and poverty,
to chafe and tret because injudicious
of self and sin—first starved in this
world, then damned in that to come \
or a sensualist with Epicurean creed,
who is dead while he . lives. I
would have all the -motive powers of
your nature consecrated and sanctified
by the pious recognition of your per
sonal responsibility and your relations
lo God and man. There cannot be a
well balanced character, if either of
these elements is omitted in the calcu
lation of duty. There must be private
principle in order to public virtue; and
to claim.Rie-credit or honor, and moral
ity, and patriotism, because policy re
quires assitnulation of these things,
while yet erronous views ami defective
conscience leave the heart rankling in
all its ungodliness, is a hypocrisy as hos
tile to truth and a genuine public spirit,
as it is fatal lo character, and offensive
to heaven. You have no exclusive in
terests; you cannot detach yourselves;
you are bound up with your country.
Conform yourselves to that standard
which harmonizes the claims of heaven
with the interests of earth ; repudiates
that serpentine maxim which teaches
that the, “ end sanctities the means.”
A wise and righteous policy in govern
ment, if established by unlawfhl means
will be impelled or neutralised, because
its action is modified by the influences
that introduced it; and your success
in an}’ projected enterprise, if compass
ed by the invasion of another’s right, or
by the sacrifice of honorable principle,
will prove a curse rather limn a bless
ing. On the other hand, the prosperity
of the country resulting from industry,
economy, and public spirit, is an advan
tage to you ; and good order, harmony,
and well-being of your particular com
munity, are blessings in which you
share. By injuring another you wound
yourself. Vices and curses may wan
der like a blighting wind, trailing deso
lution upon their track, but they will
fetch a compass, and as the clouds re
turn after the rain, drench their authors
with the heaviest showers. Itv doing
good to others, you accumulate trea
sure which never xvaxelh old—a trea
sure which enriches earth and survives
its destruction. You must stand on the
narrow basis of a selfish policy, or on
the broad platform of an enlarged and
liberal philanthropy. You must act
for yourselves exclusively and alone,
or “ look also on the things of others.”
In the one case you will be the dog in
the manger, or the horseleech, which
cries give—give, and never saying it is
enough. In the oilier, as the clew upon
the grass—a gift from God—a blessing
to man ; or as pillars, strong, polished
after the similitude of a palace, up
bearing the burdens of State, and giv
ing confidence to an anxious people.
As members of the body politic, you
ought to do your part as earnestly and
