 OlI L'0. U how are You to accomplish your pur- -,on"o ,n reach the objects of your hope and ap,,h;tont Do you expect them to come to vm, without any eXertion on your part! It So. YOU will come far short ot your eXpecta- t;ons. nothing is to be gained in this life without labor and assiduity.

 In the first place, then, you must endeavor, whatever be the business or profession you have chosen, to acquire thorough knoWl- edge of it in all its branches and details. Be not satisfied with merely doing, because you think you must do what is expected of you, but do all you can, not only to please your employer, but to acquire a practical knOWl- edge of the business; remember you arc an apprentice, and are acquiring the information which is to enable you to carry on the same business for yourself-this is the object of your labor-you should feel that you are at work for your benefit, and not for the bene- fit of others. Suppose you arc to become a merchant, or mechanic you have leisure hours morning and evening, let them be de- voted to reading, and let your books be selec- ted in reference to your business: obtain those which give you information as we'll as amusement. Ifyou are designed for mer- chant, you should acquire knowledge of several modern languages, of the history and fundamental principles of commerce, of nav igation, ofpolitical economy and geography. Endeavor also to inform yourself about the growth and production of the various arti- cles and commodities in which you are like lv to deal-where they are or may be produ- ced, what their actual cost ofproduction, &c. So much of an individuals success in life de- bends upon his manners and address, that we would by all means advise the acquisition of graceful manners, and a courteous, gentle nan-like address. But these cannot be at- tained without mixing in refined society, and avoiding low vulgar company; he who choo- ses to associate with low bred and ill-nan- nered companions, can never hope to gain admittance into refined and polished circles, for his every action and expression will be- tray the company he has been accustomed to keep and every attempt to assume manners which are not his every day wear, will show his company his own consciousness of his in- feriority. He who would acquire easy and graceful manners, and refinement of mind, should by all means seek the society of virtu- ous intelligent, and refined females: it is they, and they alone, that can smooth down the nat ural brusquerie of man, and give a high pol ish to his mind and manners. But while we advise young men to seek female society, we would also caution them against becoming that very contemptible thing a lady's man, or dandy-an animal despised by every man and woman of sense, though sometimes tol- erated by the latter, as they answer all the purposes ofa pet poodle.-Ph'Ia. Com. Her.

 Ada Byron and Lord King.-The "sole daughter of the house and heart" of Byron, is a lady apparently about twenty-of middle height, stout, of an air rather more independ- ent and marked than is common to English ladies so delicately nurtured. Her forehead and nose resemble, almost exactly, ,Bartoline's bust of her father, but the lower part of her face is heavier than his, and less Napoleon esque in its formation. Her teeth are reg ular and white, and her mouth, though vigor- ous and expressive, is less feminine than is u- sually thought attractive. She is very retir- ing in society-being generally seen in the most quiet part ofthe room, attended by the daughters of the celebrated Mrs. Somer- vile, who are her inseparable friends. With great plainness in dress, and uncommon sm- plicity of manner, she has the easy self pos session and the nameless style which be- longs, (as if from the difficulty of ofimitation) exclusively to the higher ranks of English so- ciety, and it would be quite impossible that she could, by even the most casual observer, be mistaken for common person, even in her own rank.

 It is generally understood that she has a fixed aversion to poetry, and is fond of matll. ennatics-that she dislikes talking of her fath. CT, and professes to know nothing of his pro- auctions. A gentleman who had been in the habit ot residing with her for some time, a visitor to the same country house, was taking leave of her." Good bye," she said, "I am sorry you are going, for you are the only stranger who has been introduced to me for a long time who has not alluded to the one disagreeable subject"

 Ada Byron has married Lord King-one of the most cultivated and superior young mo- blemen of England. He was long abroad, owing to some dislike taken to him by the old lord, his father; and in the difficult cir cumStanceS consequent on paternal diSpleas- ure. he acquired a knowledge of science and human nature, usually denied to men of his elevated rank. He is the intimate friend of Davidson, the traveller, and other scientific and accomplished men, and is in every way most estimable character In the society of one so much man of the world, it is to be hoped that Ada Byron will unlearn the pre- judices of her mothers "house and heart" and read and appreciate her own immortal
