Her death lead-him to. leave 'the country where* ho resided, and he moved to Richmond, where he' soon rose to dis tinctipn.. But bis habits- hung about him, and occasionally he was found with jolly and frol lick some spirits, in: bac- . 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 lady until his arrival at Mackinaw." It sidcrod to . have been deficient—fa tally deficient in tact. He ought to 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 conception, and noble as it was in its attempted execution, only served'to compromise M.

On his second voyage to the China seas, he induced the captain of the Ply mouth whaler, to release: hhn, and let him land alone, on one of the Japan isl ands; for the purpose, as he stated to bis comrades, of residing among that pecu liar people, in order to obtain a knowl edge of their language. His desire was granted, and poor Macdonald, in a small boat, bid his officers and" fellows fare well, and pushed for the shore. He was arrested and imprisoned shortly after he landed, but succeeded in a short time in conciliating the natives, and opened a school for the instruction of the Japan- the English language He' i: finale of the monarchy, a beaten, pudiated, humiliated man, whose name, inscribed for a moment on jbe list, of the Provisional government, was disdain fully erased; and one of the most un popular of men on the night, of the 24th, was the powerful orator and patriot— the leader of the reform party for eigh teen years.

Jonathan could never think'of dying of dignity,” and consequently we are not surprised lo see that many of our young men, after obtaining a col legiate education, now devote themsel- to mechanical pursuits and to man* ual labor onjhe farm. We fully antici pate that this will become a general thing, and that the period is not far dis tant when it will be considered just as spectable to be an honest and indus trious mechanic, as a member of those ‘professions” known, by compliment, the “learned.” To bring about this result, and command their due share of influence and respect, every means epths of space, and placed ■om! our ken, or the light of s since the period of their A Country Wedding. The Preacher was prevented from taking his part in the ceremony, and newly created Justice of the Peace, who chanced to be present, was called upon to officiate in his place. The good man’s knees began to tremble, for he hail never lied ihe knot, and did nol i herit—the ridicule know where to begin. He had no “Geor gia Justice,” or any other book from ] ij 0l h\ vvhicb to read the marriage service.

He lo think they were made to eat and i 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 II as though the welfare of nil depend- gle conduct ; for as in fate has consigned you to this little, temporal muudane atom, a theatre too I ed upon your ignoble for your exhibition, a duration j machinery, the absence of a pin may loo brief for your greatness; for then j derange the whole system, and on its will deserve what you will in-j presence depend the motion of every f earth—the con-j wheel, the action of every spring, so tempt of heaven,—the damnation of I your delinquency may corrupt .mid dis- ‘ ganize, and your fidelity , wisdom, and .each ^ thought over everything he had ever learned, but all in vaiu; lie could recol lect nothing that suited the occasion.
