■QISCKLL.VNKUL'B. NEW YEAR’S DAY. THE commencement of a New-Year is a period for serious reflection, it is indeed generally ushered in with the or dinary indications of festivity and rejoic ing; but it becomes us to be thoughtful, as the lapse of time suggests topics of intel lectual and mural improvement. COME melancholy Moralizer—come! Gather with me the dark and wintry wreath; With me engarland now The Sepulchre of Time! Come Moralizer to the funeral song! I pour the dirge of the Departed Days; For well the funeral song Befits this solemn hour. But hark! even now the merry bells ring round With clamorous joy to welcome in this day, This consecrated day, To mirth and Indolence. Mortal! whilst Fortune, with benignant baud, Fids fn the brim thy cup of happiness, Whilst her unclouded sun Illumes thy summer day, Canst thou rejoice—rejoice thattime flies fa si? That Night shall shadow soon thy summer sun? That swift the stream of Years Bolls to Eternity? If thou hast wealth to gratify each wish, If pow’r he thine, remember what thou art— Remember thou art Man, And Death thirie heritage! Hast thou known Love! does beauty‘s better sun Cheer thy fond heart with no capricious smile, Her eye all eloquence, Her voice all harmony? Oh tate of happiness! hark how the gale Moans deep and hollow o‘er the leafless grove! Winter is dark and cold— Where now the charms of Spring! Sayst thou that Fancy paints the future scene In hues ton sombrous? that the dark-stol’d Maid, With stern and frowning front, Appals the shuddering soul? And wouldst thou bid me court her fairy form When, as she sports her in some happier inood, Her many-colour’d robes Dance varying to the sun? Ah vainly does the Pilgrim, whose long road Leads o‘er the barren mountain** storm vexhl height, With anxious gaze survey The fruitful far-off vale, Ah! there are these who love the pensive song, To whom all sounds of Mirth are disso nant There are, who, at this hour, Will love to contemplate! For hopeless* sorrow hail the lapse of Time, Rejoicing when the fading orb of day Is sunk again in night, That one day more is gone! And he who bears affliction's heavy load W ith patient piety, well pleasM he knows The World a pilgrimage, The Grave the inn of rest! , • HINTS TO MEN OF BUSINESS. Superintend in person ns much of your business as pra to able, and ob serve with a watchful eye, the man a/gcment of what is ne< rssanly com mitted to the agency of others. Never lose sight of the powerful influence of example, and be careful, in the management of your concerns to recommend by your own personal practice uniform habits of active, in terested and persevering diligence to those into your employ. 4 I* e prompt and explicit in your in structions to your agents, and let it be understood by them that you ex pert they will execute the same in TOnfurmity, thereunto. Let no common amusements inter-! sere or mingle with business, make them entirely distinct employments. Despatch ator.ee, if possible, what ever you make take in hand; if inter rupted by some unavoidable inter*. 1 ferenee, resume and finish it as soon as the obstruction is removed. Beware of self indulgence, no busi ness can possibly thrive under the shade of its influence. Do not assume to yourself more credit for what you do, than you are entitled to rather he content with a little less, the public will always dis cover where merit is due. Familiarize yourself with your books; keep them accurately, and frequently investigate A adjust Their contents. This is an important item. Cultivate Domestic habits; tor this youi family, if you have one, has a strong and undeniable claim; besides, your customers will always be best pleased when they find you at home, <>r at the place of y our business. Never let hurry or confusion dis tract your mind or discompose your self command. Under the influence of stu b habits as these, with a suitable dependence on Providence for a blessing on the labor of your hands, you w ill have a good foundation to rest your hope for success in whatever business you may be employed. HIM’ TO MOTHERS. When we contemplate what great thing depend on what, to a superficial observer, ap pears of small moment, we wish to speak a word of caution. Our subject is that of the com mon every day conversation of mothers to their children. When giving to your chil dren commands, be careful that you speak with a becom ing dignity, as if, not only the right, but the wisdom also, to command was with you. Be careful not to discover a jeal ousy that your injunctions may hot be attended to. for if the child sees that you have your doubts, they wdl lead the child to doubt too! Be cautious ne ver to give your commands in a loud voice, nor in haste. If you must speak loudly in order to be obeyed, when it is not convenient to raise your voice you must expect to he disobey ed; and if it be convenient for you to speak loudly, you must remember that it is inconve nient for others to hear it. But with regard to manner, he careful to speak in a soft, tender, kind and loving wav.— Even when you have occasion to rebuke, he careful ‘to do it with manifest kindness. The! effects w ill be incalculably bet • are obliged to! deny the request that your c ild may make, do not allow yourself to do this with severi ty. It is enough for our little ones to be denied of what they may want, without being! nearly knocked down with a | sharp voice ringing in their ten der ears. II you practice severity,! speak harshly, frequently pun ish in anger, you will find your children will imbibe your spirit and manners. First you wil j find that they will treat each m other as you treat them, and after they arrive to a little age, they will treat you with unkind and unbecoming replies. But if you are wise, and treat your, little ones with tenderness, you X• 7 * I will fix the image of love in their minds, and they will love you and each other, and in their conversation will imitate the conversation which thev j have heard from the tender* st friend which children have on earth. A ‘SALT RIVER ROARER.’ One of these two fisted hack woodsmen, ‘halt horse, half alli gator and a little touched with the snapping turtle, went late ly to see a caravan of wild beasts. After giving them a careful examination,’ ‘he offer ed to bet the owner,’ says the Western Mercury, ‘that Ik could whip his lion in an open ring; and lie might throw in ah his monkies, and let the zebr kick him occasionally during the fight!’ CURIOUS COINCIDENCE. Two ladies Fidgeon and Lark, were charged with steal ing three fowls, from a man named Aviary. The prisoners were detected in the act, and given into the custody of a con stable named Parrott, who bro’i them to the office, from which they were consigned to the Uage.’ PR* >POSALSi For publishing , at Darien, Geo. a News paper, to be entitled\ihe Darien Phoenix. By a.c. Mclntyre. IN issuing proposals for this public dio U the Editor deems apology to be unne cessary. He is only exercising the pro fession of his youth, and can conduce nei ther to good nor evil, apart from the pub lie will. If success attend the tinder taking, it must arise from the natural ad vantages ol Darien, the aid of art now em ployed in behalf of that City, and its Con nexion, as an entrepot, with two-tuirds of the State. The PiiCENIX will, there fore, he chiefly valuable as a commercial vi hide; and, as the Editor must depend for subsistence on the circulation ot his paper, the public haVe a strong bond for ins exertions.

To these who ! wish to cherish a paper basid on other! principles, he in frankness must observe, that he desires not their patronage. TERMS.
