On ebuc. atio*s»* ~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 o i»j«r; Khwb W coufage. 1- do hot meat, courage which fa&is to, In and contentions, but cu ■ahksyau to have a will of your own xwi to pursue what is right, amidst tic persecutions ot surrounding ; : , , . dunce. <**««<»». ijf^- t,oM* «*. »•“>« worlu, wncu lig f >-tresses ot virtue urv to be as saßev. ; Vou. «:H eScct.iaiy .1 >4#** by “ oaumlesi perseverance. p i 5 H *;-,UibdW you, r^b;: . wh. vnavi. id reciitude on W tWr *# fa a g**»> W*l rtii u. \ *6 an army.' s Assays*- \ W e ai«spv wSr, lately *unk by the Wasp, fr the same rev the Vear l«lo, m defiance of the law 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 ment for British insolence. The A von was a sloop of the heaviest class, mounting 1« thirty-two pound car on ad es, besides bow and stern guns, about #OO tons burthen, and com manded wheh «JT her© by captain Fisher— Del, Wauhvxan* Baltimore , ffc*. 21. 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 to the boar;, the enemy still fir ing after .they reacheo the beach ; captain Daniels waiiv knocked down by a spent ball that sti pek hia shoulder. The Syren struck file, •bore after she was abandoned, and went to pieces. The crew, 2C? m number, and 6 prisoners reached thq shore in safety. The people on shore, saw one of the enemy’s barges sink aiter the got to the ship. 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 ing m the action c j and 1 ana ‘iis sure we shall get the victory to day as if I saw the colors struck.* The fowl that was on board the Saratoga vus errried to Sacketfs Harbor by iic sailprsn who swore that sooner taun part with it they would lose half their wages. , How would we rejoice could we hear ofhis exulting strains on Lake Ontario. ■ BONAPAR TE.
