If » person manifests de light in low sordid, ohj ct, the vulgar song and debusing language, in the misfortunes of his fellow or animals, we may at once determine the complexion of his character. Ou the contrnry, i' ho loves purity, modesty, truth—if vituous pursuits engage his heart and draw out his affections—we are tmtis fied that he is an upright man. When we see a young man food of fine clothes and making a fop of himself, it is a sure sign that he thinks the world con sists of outside show and ostentation and he is certain to make an unstable man wi hout true ass etton or frieud sh’p fond of change and excitement aud soon wearying of those objects and pursuits,- which for a time give him pleasure.
