Painful, and even melancholly as it often may he, how frequently does the mind love to turn hack up on the scenes that arc gone by. How often are the thoughts drawn insensibly as it were, from the dark ness of the future to the twilight of the past —to scenes that hut faintly glimmer through the cold and sombrous lapse of days and months, and years! A pleasing melancholly coir.cs over the full soil, as the green spots on the desert of life, come up before the eye of the imagination, and tics as strong as those of‘first love’ bind us unconsciously to scenes where once centered nil our joys. Such are the reminisicences of childhood and youth, such arc the forms pictured—upon the sunny surface of the past, when the heart beats joyously—when every path was strewed with flowers—when all above was cloudless sky—and when all around was sunshine!

Be ware of him who is an office seeker; men do not usually want office when they have any thing to • do. A man's affairs are rather low when he seeks for support. Trust no stranger; your goods are better than doubtful charges. What is character worth,if you make it cheap by crediting all alike? Agree before and with every man about to do a job, and, if large, put it in writing; if any decline this, quit or be cheated. Though you want a job ever so much, make all sure at the outset; and in a case at all doubtful make all sure of a guarantee.

It ise.be in fact responsible he will like you the better, for he thus knows that he is dealing with a man who looks at the end of things, and only expects to be well served.

If you can find nothing else to do, rend an 1 im prove your mind, and fit yourself for better doing what you may have to do. Instruct your children; see that they" - have good schools, visit them ocea sionlly, and take a glnnceat the method in- which it is conducted. Do you think they will ever respect you, or be worthy-of having, if you neglect them in their vouth, when the mind first takes its bent and inclination?

It is an odious phrase, and worthy of all reprobation, that “lobe continued.” I hate it as 1 do.the gentle man I have just named. I eschew it as I do—not Satan, but the author of Satan—and all his works. How many magazine readers has it prepare 1 for St. Luke’s; how many magazine proprietors has it committed to the Fleet; how many innocent maga zines themselves has it earn ed to be gathered prem aturely to the Spectators and Tatlers, and the other fathers of periodical literature! Oh! vou “never ending, still beginning” writers, who, dike the evil genius that haunted Brutus, cannot leave us at Sar dis without promising to be with us gain at Phili pi; were there any wholesome discipline in the com monwealth of letters, a winter in Siberia, and a speech of Sir Charles VVetherell, daily would be th» sure recompense of } misdeeds! I wish I were an autocrat for your* sakes. Willingly would I see the British constitution overturned to reach you. To your accomplices—l mean those who print and those who read you—l bear no malice. To the former I wish a cell and a keeper; to the latter the guardianship of my Lord liign Chancellor, the pro per protector of unhappy individuals whose tore heads ere inclined to the horizon of the angle of hopeless idiotcy. Are you wise, Mr. Editor! Let not the wisdom of Solomon, edged with the wit of Swift, prevail upon you to send that paper to the press which, like a scorpion with a sting in its tail, concludes with a *‘to be continued.” To the liaincs with it in continently, or the tenure of your chairs is not worth a week’s purchase. Let any devil take it, but the printer’s devil. Were it an essay of my Lord Yorulam, your magazine would not survive it. For myself, at least, I hate it as did Horace galic,— Voltaire, Piron, —Mirabeau, a bishop; l abhor it as churchmen do Cobbett, and the boroughmongers the memory of Jeremy Bcntham. “To be continu ed,” is at the botom of half our calamities. The Irish tithe system was tolerable, until Mr, Stanley informed us that it was “to be continued;” the ag gravated feature of the Marquis of Londonderry’s fooleries in the House of Lords is, that from session to session, and from night to night, they are "to be continued;” we shudder at the thoughts of an Faster pantomime, because vve know, by sad experience, that lor nearly half the session they are sure “to be continued;” the knock of our tailor with las bill pier ccs us through and through like a drawn sword, for no other reason but our conviction that day after day until the rascal is paid, it is “to bo continued; ’ we could endure one day or even two, of that fellow with the .monkey and hurdy-gurdy, but what ineea ters and unmans, us is our consciousness that, unless vve assassinate him or procure his assassination, his performance is far more certain “to be continued;” than our practice of breakfasting or dining. I couid go on through half the woes that afflict, humanity, but of all our grievances of the “to be continued;” class, tiierc is none so hard to bear as an article in a magazine; for which reason it is, Mr. Editor, that this paper, like the’rotton borough system, and (I think I may add) the bench of bishops, is “ not to be continued;”.—Moxthiv Magazine.* FROM THE DEMOCRAT. cohvjanvss ©eohcia. Few towns in the interior of any stats have ad vanced in a more regular and uninterrupted course of improvemont than Columbus. Though it be but two or three years since the present scite of Colum bus presented flic aspect of a savage wilderness, yet the eye is now delighted with the multiplying evi dences of the highest refinements of civilized fill-. The forests have given way to lengthened streets, beautiful gardens, and spacious mansions, arid the crowded marts of commerce. All is enlivrticd with the hum of business, the amusements of fashion, the song of industry, and the multitudinous avoca tions, labours and sports of crowded life. The commanding position of Columbus gives her great advantages, and nothing can prevent" her becoming! a great town. But although much of prosperity is the certain alotmentof our infant city , and more is within her' each, yet the highest point of prosperity’ of which ! site is capable, can only be reached Lv the most strenuous exertions of her citizens. Ti e rich mJ tations in h'*r neighbourhood, the untiring >ndu*trv ! o. uk, .tardy sctia of the interior, o|<cn to her view nnfailimr sources of wealth. But she can only; avail herself of them through the medium ot lair ex ,.i ■ mid liberal traW. The 1-«.*:»! P> *itk» which she occupies will always enable her to command the trade -of nearly the whole ( Iwttnhodchee circuit, upon equitable principles. But it cannot be expec ted that Columbus should enjoy the profitanlc trade of the interior, unless her merchants tncmselyes should exhibit a spirit of enterprise_ am \ liberality vvorthvol it. They must bid op a fair price .or cot ton ; the up-country planters cannot be made to un derstand w hy the dealers iu Columbus, enjoying an the advantages of steam navigation, should not af ford to give as much for cotton as they' do in Ma con. where the faeili’ies of steam navigation are not enjoved. This is a paradox which puzzles our country friends extremely’. They are equally per plexed" iu regard to the articles of salt and sugar. Salt, they say’, frequently sells from 15 to 20 per ct. lower in Macon than in Columbus; and while the merchants of the latter place are selling N. O. su gars at 10 a 12 cents, those of Augusta, they sup pose, after paying the difiorence in the expense oi transportation of nearly double the distance, (by water.) are enabled to sell the same article at 8 a o cents. These operations excite their especial won der and not a little prejudice against Columbus. — It is true that many of these evils—it they be such will, in time, work their own cure. 11 our pre sent merchants demand extravagant profits bn their business, this fact itself will attract additional capital to the place, until "the profits thereof lie n o need to un equitable standard. Merchants must be content with something less than 200 per cent, profit on the amount, cf sales. Stcanffccats must demand less freight, and planters must be furnished with goods at Columbus cheaper than can be afforded at any other inland tow nin the state, 'i hen may it be ex pected that the rapid improvement of Columbus will meet the anticipations of her warmest friends. Columbus, in the early period of her existence, had much to struggle with to combat the prejudice which existed in regard to the unhealthincss oi her position. And indeed the experience ot 1.531 did ujuch to strengthen this prejudice. But the extend ed and judicious, policy of the board of commission ers for the past year, seconded and aided by the judgment and abilities of a highly experienced and skilful marshal, has given anew aspect to the state of things. The prejudice against the health of the nlace has been completely removed, 'i heir labours and exertions have been skilful and unremitted, and they are entitled to the warmest acknowledgments of every one interest and in the permanent prosperity of the place. And more especially'at this period, when, having arrived at t’ e do?’’ of their official duties, the approbation of their fellow-citizens is the only reward of their arduous services. larinoK. • 3l;rth that wrinkled enre derides, And-langhter holding bath her side3." An old woman who sold ale, being in Church, fell asleep during div ine service, and unluckily let her old fashioned clasp Bible fall, which making a great noise, she exclaimed, halt awake, “so you jade, there's another jug broke.” A young gentleman in Kilkenny, Ireland, mcetiir’ a handsome milkmaid near thg parade, said “ What will you tn'-e for yourself and your milk my dear!” The girl instantly replied, “ Yourself and a gold ring, sir.” Irish Humor is proverbial.—“ Where did ye get that uglycowld, Mr.'Delany,” enquired a neigh bor. “ Why’ honey’, 1 slept in the field last night and forgot to put the bars up.” A drunken Scotchman returning from a’fair, fell asleep by’ the road side, when a pig found him and began licking his mouth.

F. o-r. the London Co.iricr, IXieeml-cr I I, 1332.] In the present posture ol ailairs in Europe, it may’ be worth while to take a glance, (it must, of neces sity’, be a brief one) at the comparative strength of the five influential powers of Europe; Russia, Aus tria, Prussia, France and England.—We may’ dis miss the population in a word: but vve will put down the figures, as vve may afterwards have occasion to refer them.—The population of Russsia is about - • - - CO millions Austria, ------- 33 Prussia, -13 France, - - 33 Great Britain, 21 With respect to Great Britain, if we add to her account the population of her Indian and Colonial possessions, vve should swell the total of the inhabitants of the British dominions to at least JlO millions; a uum! ; r. quul to the population of the other four great powers of Europe. But it is not alone from the number of tke population under its rule that a State derives itp aggressive power, but from the revenue which it can raise to -<>t that ; ' n in motion.

Let us see how lar these revenues are applicable to external purposes; iorine apparent large revenue of a Kingdom is as decep tive as the delusive long rent roll of a land owner whose income is reduced by the interest on his mort ira< es; so national revenues, for the disposable pur poses of their Governments, are minus the interest of their debts. * . , The National Debt of Russia may be calculated Interest, including charges Millions of collection 0 5 3 millions.

We shall endeavor to show, however, that the real revenue power of Great Brit ain is vastly superior to that of France; but first, let us have before us such figures as are necessary in our cozioUicrauon. Bearing these facts in mind—and if they arc not the exact figures, they are quite near enough for the present purpose of comparing the relative pow ers of the five States in question—we will next eon. sicler the number of soldiers and ot vessels of war of each of these States; which, although they cannot be considered as indicative in themselves of the power of a State —and oftentimes, from the exhaust ing expense of maintaining them, for a series ot years in readiness against contingencies, are a eauge of weakness rather than ot strength;—yet a brief sur vey of the actual state of the fleets and armies of the five Great Powers of Europe will be useful in con sidering the means of aggression of each at the pre sent time. We will first take tiie fleets; and here the pre-em inence of England is so great, that the naval forces of the other States urgi cr consideration sink into com- VaruUVe insignficance. In stating the number of the vessels of war of each State, we must classify them in a general way, or we should fall into erro neous deductions.

Britain, - - -IG2 - - -113 - - 321 It is difficult to ascertain the actual number of the armies, of each State in a condition of warlike efficiency; wc may form an estimate however, suf ficiently accurate for our purpose; but it must be borne in mind that the numerical strength of the ar my of a State is a very delusive indication of its military power, it is the financial means'of a State to supply that army with all the material which forms its efficiency for action, that is the grand considera tion; in these times it is seldom that a State need be in want of soldiers it it is in possession of the money to pay and maintain them. In ancient times war was carried on with men; in modern times it is carried on with money. It is obvious, however, that on some occasions a large number of men trained to military habits, and ready for the field, may place a state of minor resources in a superior and temporarily commanding position in respect to another state really far superior in pow er. . But before we pursue this tnought further, let us look at the armies of the Five States under con sideration. Russvi ' s suposed to have, of soldiers ®f all sorts, hrou'diout her vr— thread dominions (500,000 Austria, 350,004 Prussia, France 400,000 Great Britain, 110,000 1 he number of soldiers of Russia is commonly stated at a much larger amount; as high as a mill ion; but although.this may be strictly true, if we in clude the militia, and the barbarous troops of its dis tant and Asiatic dominions, it may be doubted whe ther Russia could bring into the field a larger num !er of efficient troops than we have stated. And if Russia lias its minions of mililtia so! irrs, France *'■ is hardly less. But these troops, powerful us they may be, in resistng invasion (in Napoleon’s inva sion of Russia they availed nothing) arc certainly a >t to be counted on as an aggressive military force. BAGGING.
