 Dccision of ChGrGcter. You may rec ollect the mention, in one ofour converse tions, of a young man who wasted in two or three years large patriMony, in profli- grte revels with number of worthless as- sociales calling themselves his friends, till his meaMs were. exhausted, when they of course treated him with neglect or con- tempt. Reduced to absolute want, he one day went out of the house with the inten- ton to put an end to his life and wander ing awhile almost unconsciously, he came to tue brow of an enlinence whicI. over locked what were lately his esta,es. Here he sat down, and reMained fixed in thought a nomber of hours, at the end of which he sprang from tue ground with vehement exulling emotion. He had formed his res olution, which was, !hat all these estates should be his again, he had formed his plan too, which he instantly began to exscute.--- He hastily walked forward, ydetesmined to seize the first opportunity, of however humble kind, to gain any money, though it were ever so despicable trife, and re- solved absolutely not to spend, if he could helpit farthing ofwhateyer he might ob- tain.

 The first thing that drew his attention was heap of coals shot out ofcarts on the pavement before house. He offered hiln> self to shovel or wheel them into the place where they were to be laid, and was enl- ployed. He received few pence for his labor; and then. in pursuance of the saw ing part of his plan, requested some small gratuity of meat and drink, which was giv- en him. He then looked out for the next thing which might chance to offer; and when with indefatigable industry througha succession of servile employments, of lon- ger or shorter duration, still scrupulously avoiding, as far as possible, the expense of penny. He promptly seized every op- portunity which could advance his design, withoat regarding the meanness of occupa- ton or appearance. By this method, he had gained, after considerable time, mu- ney enough to purchase, in order to sell again, Il few cattle, of which he had taken pains to understand the value. He speed- fly but cautiously turned his first gains into second advantages ;, retained, without a single deviation, his extreme parsimpRy; and thus advanced by degrees, into larger transactions and incipient wealth. I did not hear, or have forgotten, tha continued course of his life but the final result was, that he more than recovered his lost pos- sessions, and died an inveterate miser, worth 6O,Oo0L. have always recollected this us signal instance, though in an un- fortunate and ignoble direction, of decisive character, and of the extraordinary effect, which. according to general laws, belongs to the strongest form of such character.

 Sorrow.-There is a sorrow ofthe world that deserves little or no pity. And there is sorrow too deep to be soothed, but in the rest of the grave. That is the sorrow felt by her who sees the husband of her af- tections. going fast to the drunkard's grave. and to the abodes of blackness and dark ness forever We can see our friends suf- fer: we may stand by and witness the am- putation of a limb and we may pity; but when we see that the suffering of the body Is Out pfSiuu0 tO us paiu ltut AHWSt tOt" low; when we see the being whom we have loved, deliberately sacrificing both body and soul 10 demon that can show no pi- ty, to a demon that has slain his tens of thousands, and delights in carnage and blood; it is this which will cause sorrow that snocks all consolation. It is the worm that never dies. To lean on the arm of the tot,ering inebriate-to sleep on the couch with the startling, troubled, madden ed, wo-begone, hopeless dr1nkard--are living, are abiding sorrows that can die on- ly with life itself! And suck sorroU poor woman feels and endures. because she can- not die-because sue is constituted to suffer, till the attenuated thread Of, life has throb- bed its last. When the grave shal tell It's story; when the last trump of the archan- gel reanimates the sleeping dead--theg, O! then the murdered slain---the ihou- sands, yes, tens of thousands ofimmolated wives will be swift witness against the cruel assassins, who, drop by drop, has drained the last particle of blood from the palpitatipg heart of her whom he had sworn to love and cherish through life, who has wept and hoped--entreaied aud pFayed-- till despair has fastened its talons, aad the angel of mercy has fed forever!
