~4; ¥our parents hafre watched over
sour helpless in fancy. and conducted
you with many a pang, to an age
*t which your mind is capable of
iwanty improvement. Their solici
tude still continues, and no trouble
or expense is spared in giving you
*ll th* instruction and accomplish
ments which may enable you to act
your part in life a * a man of polished
dfcnte and confirmed virtue,
have then, already contracted a great
iiebt of gratitude to them. You can
pay it by no other method*but by
thsing the advantages: which their
goodness afforded you.
If your endeavors are deficient, it
is in vain that yon have tutors* books
*nd all the external apparatus of
! literary pursuits. You Tjust love
learning if you intend to possess it.
In order to love it you must feel its
delights ; in order to feel its de
lights you must apply to it, and lor
* considerable time. If you have
resolution enough to do this, you
cannot but love learningi for the
sitnd always loves that to which
it has been long steadily and volun
tarily attached. Habits arc formed,
eyhich render what was at first disa
gree sble, net only pleasant but ne
cessary.
You must be an enemy to your own
enjoyments, if you enter cm the dis
cipline which leads to the attainment
°f # classical and liberal education
•mhjffucnnce. Value duly the
opponShiitfas you enjoy, a.id which
4ire denied to thousands of your fel
low creatures* p ;
Without exemplary diligence
you w;fl make but a contemptible
proficiency. You may indeed pass
through the * forms of school* and
iiniversities, but you will bring no
thing away from them of real
The proper sort and degree of dill-’
gjsnce you can not, possess, bu t by ef
forts of your own resolution. Your
instructors may, indeed confine yon
* -within the wall of a school for a cer
tain number of hours. He may
pi act books before you and compel
you to fix your eyes upbn them ;
tu. >o authority can Cham your mind.
Your thoughts.will escape every ex
n! r eslranit, and, amidst the most
iccrures. may be ranging m
wild pursuit of trifles or vice.’
,B Uts, restraints* commands and
tjuv&hnivmv may indeed assist in
sti< igthenuig your resolution; but,
without > f >ur own voluntary choice,
your diligence will not often con
duce to yotir pleasure or advunugc.
Though this truth is obvious, yet it
sfceips to be a secret to those parent*
wh expect to find their sons’ im
provement increase in proportion
to t|e nuidber of their tutors and ex
ten ai assistances, which .heir opu*
teiu e has enabled them to provide.
1 ut the principal obstacle to im
provement at your school, especially
ifyduare too plentifully supplied
will, money > is a perverse ambition or
being distinguished as u boy of spi
rit r mischievous pranks, in n#glec
tjng the tasks and lessons far every
Vice, and irregularity whicn she pue
rile age can admit. You will have
*sbse enough, i hope to discover,
beheath the run# of gaie y and na
tuiO, that malignant spirit of detract
kivh rjfa i
boy Who applies to books ana to air
• the duties and’ prope ss the
school, ridiculous. You will see that
the ridicule is missapphud. You
Will discover that the boys who have
re GO use to ridicule, are for the most
navi, stupid, uhfeehug, ignorant and
vicious. Their noisy tally, their
bold confidence, their contempt oi
lyarning, amAheir defiance of authoi
i Hy, are far the most pair tne genu
ine of hardened inschhmuty.
Let not their insults and ill treat
ment dispirit you. If you yield to
tnem with” a| tame and abject
aubnussfan, they will not fail to tri
umph over you with additional inso
lence. Display a fait nude m your
pursuits, equal in degree to the ob
stinacy in which they persist in
theirs- Your fortitude whi soon o~
vtreomo theirs ; which is seldom
any thing more U>»n the
a buliy. Indeed you cannot go in.o

prohibiting British vessels of war
from oar —in contempt of ;
this prohibition, she paraded off this
borough, several days. Retribution
has at length overtaken this vessel,
and lik* the Guerriere, she has paid
with her carcase an expiatory atone

The private armed schr* SYREN,
captain Daniels, of this port return
ing from a cruise, was chased off
New York and lost on makmg the
Delaware.
On Thursday evening, Not. 16,
the Syren received two pilots trom
Cape May, who engaged to take her
in—after taking charge they run her
on a shoal off the Cape—her ruddci
was knocked off, her stern stove in,
with other damage—thev then swept
her m for the shore a;#d anchored.
The next morning was attacked by
three barges from a rated and fri
gate at anchor a shprt distance dff, .
which they easily beateff; v/as then
I attacked by a schooner of 14 guns,
a cbebacco boat, and the three bar
ges, which sU4 resisted for 2hours;
finding it impossible to stand so>su
perior a force, in her cnpoled state',
set the schooner on fire and took

captain Daniels waiiv knocked
down by a spent ball that sti pek

went to pieces. The crew, 2C? m

shore in safety. The people on shore,
saw one of the enemy’s barges sink

THE LUCKY OMEN.
The little superstitious notions of
sailors are well known It Will also
4>e recollected that Julius Caesar nev
er despised a favorable augury.—
Though true courage and fortitude
while profiting by fortunate signs,
never is moved or concerned by the
bad. the crowing of the cock on
board commodore M’Donough’s ship
in the battle of Lake Champlain is,
a well established tact. And we are
likewise told, by , an officer of the
Eagle, of a similar circumstance on
board that vessel. In the midst of
fbe hurly burly,*’ three jolly
cheers were heard from the brave’
chanticleer ; and one of the seamen’s
petty officer, observed, “ now,
boys you may fight away yvith good
hearts, for the day is our own j I
‘Was With Nelson in the battle of
Trafalgar, and we had a cock crow
