If we cwt wo ; need niift cnteruin any feor of that pernot willingly discharging every duty : that tusy be imposed upon him or Tier, : : as tlte case may be. Ilutt alas! for us; we too often re. i pose our confidence too freely in persons , with whom we are totally unacquainted. Although we may think we know them, yet, whvn the truth is known, we arc en- : tirely wrong wi» know not ihe Jen^t : particle concerning their disposition. I have frequently placed my confidence in j ! persons with whom I thought I was ac- ■ qnalnted, but in reality I knew nothing , about them; j Wt should bo more particular In choosing our friends, for "a friend in need is a friend iudecd." We khould j clioote only those with whom wo ura i j reaily acquainted, and in whom we can : i place all confidence.

A few soil looks, a walk, a j ! a dance, a squeeze of the band, ' a popping of the question, n purchasing of n certain number of yards of white j satin, a ring, a minister, a ride or two i a hire! carriage, a night hi a country inn, and the whole inattsr is over. For , | five or six weeks two sheepish looking ! persons are seen dangling on eneh other's arms, looking at waterfalls, or guzzling wiue and cakes; then everything i I fills into the most monotonous routine ; ' ; the wife sits on one side of tho hearth, the husband on the other, and iitlic j I quarrel*, little pleasures, little cares and • little children gather gradually around j ; them. This is what ninety nine out of j | one hundred find to be the delighu of : {patrimony.

I lis words are Gtly spoken pnd have the j ring of genuine metai : — " "The question has been asked why not compromise ? What! compromise ! with treason and rebellion ? God for ' ' hid I When a man compromises *Hh I ■ wrong he becomes u wrong doer. — ' i When yon r«mj>romi.«c with trc0|on you | become traitors. Wc will nc*ef com - I promise, but we will fight for a cfiotury, l if need he. We will ilesnlnte tlpi fields j ' of the South and lay their cities in u«h- ! cs, rather than compromise.
