“Take Care of Yourself,” Is the kind expression often sent after us when we have given a friend the parting hand. It was never one which we admired. It has less mournful ly pleasing sadness than “that word which makes us linger, farewell;” less filled with deep heart mov ing pathos than “that good old word, good-bye.” It is ofienest spoken gaily, with a smile or a laugh, and comrs not from the heart; or if it does, it is a-heart where joy, not sadness But carelessly as it ma 3 r be spoken, meaninglessly as it may bo intended, that expression contains some sound advice, which vve should all carefully consider. Every man must take care of himself. For though he must depend ultimately upon a Being higher and more powerful than himself, yet it is a fact which can not be too often, or too strcnously enforced, that Providence assists only those who assist themselves. There are many classes of persons who do not take care of themselves. We have known persons who lived and died, and who lived to an old age without any care M thcnis.-t es. Their bark was set adrift on life’s ocean, ar .ioated on without pilot, helm, or rudder, to direct its course. I here is a young woman, whose pale checks and brilliant eyes proclaim her the victim of disease. Sickness has stolen the sweet smile from her lips and the. dark veil of melancholy resignation hangs over her brow. Once sht was beautiful, lovely and happy. The warm blood of life bounded healthfully through her veins, and the light of hope ami joy im parted to her countenance a perpetual beauty. But Gas! she became a votary of fashion, and all thoughts of prudence or comfort were cast away. ‘Her deli cate frame was oppressed with stays, the. chill win try wind sent its breath through her gauzy drapery, while through rain, ice, and snow, she ploded her way with benumbed slippered feet. Death marks her for his own, and no human hand can arre t his progress. Soon the young flowers of Spring will Woom over her grave; and she whoso beauty might have charmed, whose virtue might have benefited mankind, will he lost forever to earth, because she did not take care of herself. Many a young man has a kind, noble father, a patient, doting mother, who center upon him their fondest hopes. All the power which precept and ex ample can exert, they employ, to win him to obey wisdom’s voice, and follow in the footsteps of virtue. With a good heart, a tractable disposition, he bids fair to become all that his fond parents could desire. Eit the evil day of temptation comes. lie forms a companionship with the idle, dissolute and worthless. They set before him the illusive glass of pleasure, in whichhe beholds her arrayed in ten thousand beauti ful but deceptive forms. They tempt him to indulge in vices, the names of which he never before heard, and the bare mention of which makes him shudder to his inmost soul. But soon he listens with pa tience, then wavers, then—fells. His course then t ads rapidly downward, to drunkness, ruin, and death. His heart-broken parents lament the blight of their fond hopes; all good men sigh over the wreck of so goodly a vessel, which seemed destined for some better port; the angels themselves might shed a tear over such a fall; but at his own door lies the charge; he did not taka care of himself. We pass late at night along the lonely deserted street of a city. A low, deep, holiowmoan of suffer ing strikes upon our ear. Searching by the dim gas light, we find a human form lying in the mire and tilth of pollution, in whose bloodshot eyes and bloat ed cheeks we are unable to trace a single lineament of the Creator’s image. Was he always thus? Ah, no. He once possessed health, innocence and hap piness. Talents were his, and wealth, and he might have arisen to positions of power and eminence. But in an hour of innocent hilarity, he took “just one glass of wine,” and this is the end to which it has brought him. lie has fallen from his high estate, and now wallows in the street a degraded sot, far r worse than the miserable mendicant who begs his morsel of bread from door to door; and all this is be cause he did not take care of himself. Y oung man “take care of yourself.” It is no idle or foolish advice. Close your ears to the syren voice of pleasure, as she would lull you into inactivity, or draw you to the precipice of ruin. Take not the Cir ccan cup, though offered by the fair band of the idol of your hearts affections. Mark out your course, and swerve not from it to indulge in the unhallowed joys of dissipation. Determine to rlo what is right, noble, and good. This is the way to “take care of yourself.” “To thine ownself be true; And it mus-t follow, as the night the day Thou canst then be false to any man."’ * Flattery. •‘Who flatters is, of all mankind the lowest, Sav lie who courts the flatterer.” Fiatt may become one of the most degrading -ices ii which man can indulge. It is never a vir* tue: yet it may present itself in forms ol far less <• iminality than in others. Were we to examine our every-day conversation, and the common civilities of social life, vre would be surprised to find how large a portion of them flattery forms. Almost every hour, we hear greetings and compliments exchanged which could not bear the test of truth. Men, who behind each other’s backs arc malignant foes, meet with a smile, and exchange, with an appearance of friend ship, the common courtesies of politeness. True, tWsse are mere meaningless expressions, made with out sincerity, and not intended to be believed. But it creates in those who use them, more or less, a spir it of hypocritical sycophancy, and thus they them selves become the recipients of all the injury which it produces. The principle which gives rise to flat tery, is one which naturally tends to degrade man, to blunt his moral sensibilities and destroy the finer feelings of the soul. Were flattery confined to this, the evil it produces ’ would be small indeed. But it often has a more pos itive character, and exerts a more deleterious influ ence. Unprincipled and designing men have not infrequently made it an instrument by which to obtain the objects of ambition, and in this manner it has been productive of the most serious calamities to the world. By it men have been induced to pur sue courses of conduct fatal to themselves and to al[ with whom they were connected. If has been the .rise unfos innately that men in exalted positions arc much more subject to the effects of flattery than oth er persons. By its influence, men have been over oorim, and plungad into irretrievable ruin, whom the most horrid forms of danger, the most dreadful shocks of misfortune ;ould not move. Thus has the fate of empires been controlled by the whining syco phant, who can “bend the pregnant hinges of the knee, that thrift may follow fawning.” All persons like flattery, whatever protestations thcjfctndy make to the contrary. There are the few est number of persons who do not entertain a high er_ppinion of themselves than an impartial criticism of their parts would warrant, ami it is ever a source of pleasure to have this opinion confirmed by others. People laugh at the folly of a vain King, whom flat tery induced to trust himself to the surging waves; yet we almost doily see instances of folly equally blind, produced by the same cause. This fondness for flattery arises undoubtedly from a misconception of its nature. Persons are too apt to take it as a mark of kindness and good will in those from whom it comes, without considering that it may proceed from motives entirely the reverse. Flattery is in compatible with sincere friendship. It raises up a barrier and prevents that free communion of soul which should ever exist between true friends. Flat ter a man, and you pass a reflection upon his under standing and judg .ent; such a reflection as would be an insuit to any man who properly considers its bearing. Every sensible man should have a due es timate of his own merits, and an attempt to propi tiate his favor by imputing to him excellencies which he does not possess should be visited with his unre served condemnation. Flattery has caused this to be called a cold, hollow world; and were it universal ly adopted among men, troth, sincerity, nay, virtue itself would be driven from the face of the earth. * Our Book Table.

Crusader. % In Sandersville, Ga., on 17th inst., by the Rev. Josiah Lewis, Frederick T. Tebeau, Esq., and Miss AriminJa E. Hodges, daughter of Maj. Wm. Hodges, all of Sandersville. A Tribute of Respect to. the Memory of Mrs. E. W. Gibson. “Brag Lit}., v-.rs, pale flower.-, o’er the bier to shed, A v-n for the brow of the early dead! For i _ through its leaves has the white rose burst. For t in tue woods was the violet nurs’d; Though lucy smile in vein for what once was burs, They a*e few's ’last gift— bring flowers, pale flow ers.” No longer ago than the 23d of October last, she whoso name now a sits a place in an obituary column, stood amidst a happy wedding group, in all the love liness of maidenly beauty, arrayed in bright bridal robes, to make her solemn nuptial vows. Alas 1 for mortal life; in seven short months, there, I "in that same room, she lay pale in death, shrouded, and cof fined for the grave. Hearts then that beat with joy, now bleed with grief. Faces then that smiled on each other with beams of delight, now reflected sorrow for sorrow. From husband and parents, waiting started wailing, and sigh sadly responded to sigh.— The powers ol association suggested the presence of death on every object she had possessed—even the flowers her hands had cultivated seemed to droop like willows. But 1 must more briefly mention the usual particulars of an obituary notice. Mrs. Eliza beth W. Gibson, consort of Thomas Gib-on, (son of Hon. 0. C. Gibson, of Pike county,) and daughter of John and Elizabeth Veazcy, in her 19th year, died of measles, on the 2d instant, at her father’s res idence, in Warren county, Ga. It is the testimony of her sorely bereaved parent®, that fur mildness of temper and kindness of disposition, from her infancy to her death, she was an uncommon child. They nave no recollection, that at home, or abroad at school, or else where, she ever gave thern.a moment’s trouble on account of any rude or unbecoming con duct. At an early age she was religiously inclined, which increased, until in her 1 Gth year, she united with the Baptist church at Long Creek, of which she rrmained an orderly and a pious member during life —never enjoying herself better, than when in the house of God, singing the songs of Zion. On the night previous to htr death, her youthful and sorrow stricken husband told her she was dying, and asked if she was reconciled to meet death. Her answer was, she regretted to leave him and her parents; but when made sensible of her speedy dissolution, she embraced him in her arms, saying, “meet me in hea ven.” At another time, she told him not to weep for her, but to meet her in heaven. To the family, ser vants and all, in a truly Christian manner, she gave her dying exhortation ; and at the same time, con vincing her physicians that they hud never before witnessed a death so triumphant. Glorious Chris tianity! what a solace in life: what a support in death. “Youth and the opening rose May look like things too glorious for decay, And smile at thee—but tnou art not of those That wait the ripened bloom to so ze their prey. Leaves have their time (o fail, And flowers to wither at the north winds’ blast, And stars to set—but all, Thou hast all seasons for thine own ph, Death.” W.’ I. COTTER.
