; leaf of Autumn that falls in many a
circling eddy, all are harmoniously
joined ui teaching man vi hat Time hath

we calmly note them down, or idly pass
them by and thus neglected what Time :
iiuth spared.
“1 am like that leaf.” How many i
times 1 have thought to use the expres

tune of year has passed, the Summer is
gone, the harvest done, and now Au
tumn is here shedding hei tears on the
breast of earth, liven the grasshop
pers which have so long been a burden,
are now gone; we bear no longer the
hum ot insects, they are ephemeral,
aud with hours of Summer are gone;
and the falling leaves betoken Winter
is coming in the course of Time. So
the spring time of life soon passes;
aye, is already gone, Summer, with its
flowers, is seen nor heard again; the

harvest of wot Idly gain mid many up

one by one fail the falling teats, as so
many leaves remind us all is passing
never to return.
“I am like that leaf.” My hold to j

Fule3 for Young Men-
Tlie following rules for young men
commencing buisincss, were wiitten by
John Grigg, psq, ol IT.il oielphia.
This gentleman is alAing example
of the successful application of these
rules, which lie recometids, in such an
admirable mariner, to tha business com-1
rnunity. The writer of this article lias
known Mr. Grigg for thirty years; and
can hear the most unqualified testimony
to the unwavering fidelity, with which
this most prosperous gentleman has ad
hered to his own aphorisms. To unti
ring industry, and close .application, he
added a mild and gentlemanly deport
ment, an unselfish devotion to the wants
of his customers, and an independence
,of thought,and an energy ofpurpose, be
yond all praise. I’liese qualities were
crowned by an active benevolence,
w hich has carried joy and gladness to a
i thousand grateful hearts, and given to
himself, in his retirement, the cosolatory
re flection, that his life has lv. n useful to
others, as well as pleasant and profitable
to himself. \J. i
PEN El hi LI). GA. JANUARY 8, 1853-
“1. Be industrious and economical.
Waste'neither time nor money in small
and useless pleaseies and indulgences.
If the young can be induced to begin to
save, the moment they enter on the paths
ol life, the way will ever become easier
before them and they w ill not fail to at
tain a competency, and I hut without de
nying themselves any of the real neces
saries and comforts of life. Our people
are certainly among the most improvi
dent and extravagant on the face of the
earth. It is enough to make the mer
chant of the old school who looks back
and thinks what economy, prudence
and discretion he had to bring to bear on
■ his own business, (ami which are in
fact the bases of all successful enter
ipiiz' j .) start back in astonishment to
j look at the ruthless waste & extravag
ance of the age and people. Well di
rected industry makes men happy.
I’lie really noble class, the class that
was noble when ‘Adam delv’d and Eve
spun,’ and have preserved their patent
to this day untarnished, is the laborious
arid industrious. Until men have learn
ed industry, economy, and self control,
they cannot be safely entrusted with
wealth.
2. To industry and economy, aud
self, reliance.—Do not take too much
advice. The business man must keep
ut the helm, and steer his own ship. in
early life, every one should he taughjjf
to think for himself. A man’s taltfjfl

Remember that punctuaißß9BHH
ni i.iier of confidence. It is uonHHH
: ihut tlie merchant fulfils his
incuts: he must do what lie
; precisely at the time, as well as ia ih?
\ way he agreed to. The mutual depen
| deuce ot merchants is so great, that
i their engagements, like a chain, which,
! according to the law of physics, is never
j stronger than its weakest link, are of
tener broken through the weukness of
others than their own. But a prompt
fulfilment of eiigagments is not only of
the utmost importance, because it ena
bles others to meet their own engage
ments promptly. It is also the best ev
! idenco that the merchant has his affairs
well ordered—his means ai commaM,
tiis forces marshalld, und ‘everything
ready for aciton’—in short, that he
knows his own stjength This it is which
inspires confidence, as much perhaps as
the meeting of the engagement.
4. Attend to the minutios of the bus
iness, small things as well as great.
| See that the store is opened early, goods
! brushed up, twine and nails picked up,
and all ready’ for action. A young man
should consider capitul, if iie have it, or
as lie may acquire it, merely as tools
with which he is to work, nut as a sub
stitute for the necessity of labor. It is
often the case that diligence in employ
ments of less consequence is the most
successful introduction to great enterpri.

itave served in the ranks. We maw

it is its own sweetest reward.—lt is thJ
