There are many that he reached only through the pheuome i na of nature ; and, therefore, He, “who | doth all things well,” iiatii bidden them to speak, though voiceless. From the j dew that gently distills, to the gorgeous ; leaf of Autumn that falls in many a circling eddy, all are harmoniously joined ui teaching man vi hat Time hath j labored to destroy. \ et, all unmoved, 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 sion, it is so life-like! The Spring j 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 * C ’ harvest of wot Idly gain mid many up plause is ended; und now as the senses 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 life is by us feeble a thread as that which binds that leal to iu parent stem; ] at wind a ■/. -ph> r may snap it, and for- j gotten 1 shall moulder on the giound. ’• Ur, if it is spared even for threescore-: and ten days, yet ‘hey are all speedily passed, and tin n must come the fallj tie decay.

Leaves have their time to fall, and, though Death knows no sea. son, yet we have our lime to die, the very houi audits agonies were known in heaven before time begun. The common lot of mortals is to sleep in Lethe’s waves, and it is sad to see the light of b.-auty ware aw ay to behold the limbs loosing their loundniss and | shrivelling up; sadder to know that the | lines where beauty has lingered, the I eve win re love has dwell, the mind where hope has lias thrived, are, all to ho j swept by “decay’s effecting fingers.” “1 tint like that leaf."’ My hold up jonlifeisus feeble and frail; it will 7-oon be broken; and when I urn gone | even my inemoiv will not remain be hind me long.

JUVE NI LE J> K FAR TAJ EN T. 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.

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. ses. Those make the best officers wh J itave served in the ranks. We maw say of labor, as L'olridge said of poetry! it is its own sweetest reward.—lt is thJ best of physic. U 5.

Never forget a saver, for ingrati :tude is l .he basest trait of men's heart. Always honor your country, and re member that out country is the very I best poor man’s country in the world.’ Were rules like the above carefully ob-1 served by every man who commences 1 j business, there would be fewer failures, while perfcoical commercial disasters, I j sweeping over the country lik* an cpi-1 ! demio would cease to be a iKrcantile; experience.
