Now, however. the tone of toy •pith was I•,wcr•

A little shop was to be let in my neighborhood—
s kind of compound shop, is which the goods
*old came under the claw of huckster and greyn-
grocer. I knew nothing about buying and roll-
ing: bit better late than never, thought 1, and I
resolved to ranks the experiment. Ths pries of
fixtures and good -will wan only thirty pounds.
but where was I to get thirty pounds? My
worthy blacksmith brother came to my aid. 11e
lent me a few pouoJe he had saved. and he bor-
rowed • few more; my old friend the barrister
whit had learned that 1 was not as habitue

which mankind, as yet, have hardly begun
to explore. We bele, ss it were, only
,krrivd along its coasts for a few leagues,
without penetrating the racemes, or gather-
ing the riches of tt• vol interior. Hostile

wayward and devious orbs, yet to be
btuoght talo • system of brotherboud by
tho sometime of leve. Justice, honor,
love and truth, are the corner -moose of the

utood up•ro earth.
For all true -'.hated adventurers into
them row re.lae of enterprise, there •re
moral Edon, to be planted, such as Milton
with hie celestial verse could never de-
scribe, and there are heights of moral stash -
10117 to be attained, such as Rosso with has
tele.coAe could never descry.
Glowing with a vivid conception of these
truths, so wonderful and so indisputable,
let me tisk, whether, among all the spe.ta-
ole• which earth presents. and which an.
gels might look down upon with en ecetaey
too deep for utterance, is there one hirer
and more enrapturtog to the sight than that
of • young man, just fresh from the Crea-
tor's hands, and with the unspent energies
of the coming eternity wrapped up in his
bosom, eurveytog and recounting, in the
solitude al= closet or in the darkness of
midnight, the mighty gilts with wbich be
has been endowed, and the magnificeot ca.
rear of usefulness and of blessedness which
ha been opened befoie him; and resolviog,
with one all -concentrating sod IMO -hallow-
ing vow, that he will lifts true to the noblest
capacities of his bring, and in obedience to
the highest law of kis nature.
If aught can bo nobler or sublimer than
*hie, it is the life that fulfils the vow.—
Such • young man reverences the divine
skill and wisdom by which his physie•I
frame has been so fearfully and wonderfully
made; and be keeps it pure and clean, es a
fit temple for the living God. For every
indulgence of appetite that would enervate
the body, or dull the keen sense, or cloud
the brain, he has a "Get thea behind me !"
so stern and deep, that the balked satins of
temptation sink from before blm in shame
and despair.
Hypocrisy and pharisaical pride are loath-
some to the young man of • true heart, yet
he rejoices to be known at all times and
every where as • religious man; for, not
less in the mare of business and the hilari-
ties of social intercourse, than in the sanc-
tuary or on the death bed, he feels how in-
finitely unmanly it is to be ashamed of the
noblest and divioeet attribute io all bis na-
ture.
And when in the fulness of' patriarchal
years, crowned with clustering honor., and
covered with l he beatitudes, as with a gar-
ment, he brings his heroic life to • trium-
phant close, the celestial light that bursts
from the opened and welcoming gate of
heaven, breaking upon his upturned counte-
nance, is reflected into tbo paths of e11 sur-
viving men; and the wings of his spirit, as
it emceed', fan the earth with odors from
the UPPfia PAN•DISI.
THE NOBLENESS OF TRUE LiFE.
in HOP. HOR•CO MAPF.
Whoever yields to temptation debase*
himself with a debasement from which he
can never aria. Thi., indeed, is the calam-
ities, tho bitterest drug in the cup of bitter -
neer. Every unrighteous act (ells with a
thousand fold more force upon the actor
than upon the sufferer. The false man is
more false to himself than to any one else.
Ile may despoil others, but himself is the
chief loser. The world's scorn he might
sometimes forget, but the knowledge of
his own Perfidy is undying. The fire of
guilty passions may torment whatever hes
within the circle of its radiations; but the
fire is always hottest at the centre, and
that centre is the profligate's own heart.
A man may be wronged and live; but the
unresisted, unchecked impulse to do wrong
i■ the first and eecond death. The moment
any one of the glorious faculties with
which God has endowed us is abused or
misused, that faculty loose, for ever, a por-
tion of its delicacy and its energy. Every
injury which wen inflict upon our moral na-
ture in this life, mush dull, for ever and
ever, our keen capacities of enjoyment,
though in the nutlet of infinite bliss, and
weaken our power of ascension, where To -
tunes .pints aro ever ascending.
It must send us forward into the next
Mage of existence maimed and crippled, so
that, however high we may soar, our flight
will always be less lofty than it would
otherwise have been; and however exquietta-
ly blissful than it was capable of biting.
Every instance of violated con0Llence,
like every broken string in a harp, will limit
rho compass of its music, and mar its har-
monies for over. Tremble, then. and for-
bear, oh man ! when thou wnuldst forget
tho dignity of thy nature and the immoral
glories of thy destiny, for if thou dost cast
down thine .yes to look with complacency
upon the tempter, or lend thine ear to listen
to his seductions, then dost doom thyself
to move for ever and .,or through inferior
spheres of being; thou dost wound sod dim
the very organ wtth which alone thou meet
behold the spendors of eternity.
The world is anterior upon a new moral
cycle. The great heart of humanity t.
heaving with hopes of a brighter day. All
the higher instincts of our nature prophecy
its approach; end the boat intellects of the
race ere.,ruggling to turn that prophecy
to fulfillment. Thooghts of freedom, de. y.
benevolence, egnabty and human brother-
hood agitate the moons; and no power on
earth can repress them.
Wen these thnngtte imprisoned in the
centre of the earth, they would burst its
granite folds, spud onward iii their caroor,

The Annual Report of the iospector of

much pleasure to be able to mention that

Is 6J. per day for each man. Another
agreement has been made with the M
Stevenson for fifty men at the same doily

HINTS TO THE ELECTORS.
108 CLUAa ORM' •YD •!Prx•TiOOr.ne.
le our last, we warned the Electors ageism
the attempt that will assuredly be made to
destroy the distinction between Toryism
and Radicalism, We endeavored to show
by familiar illustrations, that the dietisetion
is of vital imporiance to the cause of pro
grass and freedom—that it is as palpable ea
the difference between light and darkness,
and that It is just as great and as visible to-
day as it has been at any former period ;—
and hence, there ie surely hide danger of
any considerable proportion of the electors
being led astray on this subject. There is,
however, soother point to the Tory tactics
of mist general election, from which a much
greater amount of evil may be apprehended.
"Beware of the Clear -Grits and Annexe.
nonis's," will be the great bug -bear cry
of the election of 1851. This is •u ins
siduous wove. It is like a mysterious shake
of the heady ---a new version of Lord George
Gordon's " Popery and wooden sboea."—
it is not tangible—it cannot be taken up in
the hand and turned over with the finger
and examined. 1t is like the ominous pre-
dictions of the Oracles, nod, therefore, it is
formidable. The Annexation hubbub was
a mere Tory dodge—a sort of appropriate
counter -part to the ruffianism of the Mon-
treal Goths, and was intended to *over the
infamy of burning the Provincial Libraries.
And although two or three liberals were
innoceaf enough to join in the, Quixotic
Crusade, yet after a scion of the good old
Family Compact had, like Guy Fawkes,
consented to victim*" himself for the good
of the party, the people of Upper Canada
unanimously declared that they had no sym-
pathy with an Annexation newspaper, and
the " Indepeidant" was "strangled ie life's
porch." In short, it was a fact then, and it
is a foot now, that Antiunion has few sym-
pathisers in Upper Canada. And although
the ettiquette of Constitutional Gonro-
meot might require a formal expressioa of
dieePprobation oto the part of the Executive,
yet w* cannot help tbjoking that the Minis.
try might ay to the Annexation movement,
as the Irishman said to the Asa, after he had
kicked it till its braying had attracted the
sympathy of the passere-by—" Bad luck to
ye, ye thankless spalpeeo, I have bronght
ye into better notice them yere merits de-
served !" It may be, that a few mercantile
men in the larger towns of the provtoee,
whose political creed is wholly founded oo

oue to the United States than it is in Cana-
da, and are, therefore, cherishing a lingering
desire for Annexation. And it may be that
tbiedesire has bee° emboldened by the late
Tory agitation of the subjate. But the agris
cultural peasantry are, properly spooking,
the people of Canada, They are the Elee-
ton—they hold the power of Government
in their own - heeds, and if they can
only obtain fair play, there is little dan-
ger of either Toryism or Annexation mak-
ing much headway in Canada. If a man
offers himself to a constituency in Upper
Canada as a candidate for Parliamentary
honors, and if be commences to pollute the
bustingg with long speeches in favor of
Annexation, then, it is the duty of the el.. -
tors to inform him, that as this seems to be
his hobby, and as this is not tho subject on
which they wish to be represented in the
House of Assembly, they do net, at present,
require his services; and here will bean end
of the matter. But if a man who is res-
pected of being an Annexationist, or who is
charged with having expressed himself in
favor of Annexation prtociples, comes for-
ward as a candidate; and if he commences
like a wise man to expound his views, sot
in reference fo Annexation, but in reference
to the chief subjects which legitist.•fely be-
long to the Canadian Legislature—should
he talk rationally about popular education—
about agriculture—public improvements—
the absurdity of expensive Government In
poor, tbinly-peopled colonise—the Injustice
of the pensioning system the iniquity of
patronizing Sectarianism from the public
funds—the laughable anomaly of protecting
the trade of the Lawyer and the Doctor,
while the trade of the tailor and the tinker,
yea, even of the Clergyman, is left unpro-
tested aol open to the competition of every-
body. In short, if be will express himself
rationally en the numerous pointe of that
policy wbich Canada requires to develops
her vast resources, and to maks bur the full
equal of the United States in the eheapoea
of her Goversmest, and in the prosperity
and ietelhgeoce of her people. if he will
promise to advoe.te and support such a
policy, then it the duty e1 the Electors to
support him, widest asking a single goes -
tion about his private opinion is reference

misrule, and as aeattoee about his "surd

There is something oo beautiful to every
feature of troth cid justice, that all extra-
neous
xtraneous recommendation can only be regarded
as calumny. If a cause is really good it
will reeommeod itself, and if it 1. bed, all
attempts to reeonia ged it by clip -trap and
hams peers soetrotw, will, in the sed, only
reader it more ceneorable. We have ever
beep opposed to the cry of " mad dog !" as
• meas of protectiog something that wan
really good in itself. And for thee reason,
we have all along objected to the policy of
spreading alum about the terrible and miss
chieveous tendency of the Clear -Grits. -
This rough cogsotes°, we believe is one of
the "ongloala" of SOW Slick, wbo, in enu-
merating the good qualities of Alden Gob-
ble speaks of him sbowisg "clear-grit."—
The term bas heel, for some months past,
applied to a few individuals who have pro-
posed certain changes to 1ho method of
managing our public "Mars, and which are,
perhaps, rather in advance of our present
circutne aocee, and, it maybe, in advance of
public opintoo. But although thane mea
may have put forth two or three proposi-
tions which are a little extravagant, they
have also proposed many changes which
are not only practicable bet desirable.—
Cheagea on the adoption of whteb there
may be a difference of opinion merely is re-
gard to time, but which must eventually be
adopted. Some of these Char -Grits are •
genuine Reformers, and although they may
feel inclined to go a little farther or a little
faster than,iheir fellows, it is neither just
n or wise to endeavor to jostle them off the
patb. loeeph Hume has been • good spe-
cimen of a Cleargrit is the British Ileum,
of Commons, for perhaps thirty years, and
yet Joseph Hume bas been arts of the most
bonen and most useful mem that ever eat to
the imperial Legislature. We once heard
the late illustrious Lord Durham ay, that
Joseph Hume had made more good motions
and lost them, tban ay one sun who had
ever occupied a *eat is the British Parlia-
ment—and these were just Cleargrit mo
tion*—mottos■ in ulnae' of the policy or -
the Government,ad although lost, they
were helve productive of much good.
We do not feel alarmed at the go -ahead -
aliveness of thew Clear -grits. The cause
of good and cheap Government seldom pro-
gresses too rapidly. History abound* with
cases of revolution* resulting from too little
program, but tber• are certainly few in-
stances where revolution has boon produced
by the Government going too fast. There
are senate states of society whore popular
power might be attended with bad cower
-
queues, but, even lathe menet ignorant
community, human nature will perpetrate
greater atrocities if governed by the prin-
ciples of despotism, than It will when in the
enjoyment of freedom.
All the good masores that have become
law—every Act that is valuable to the pro-
gress and prosperity of society, have been
Clear -grit measures. They have been
thought over, and proposed, and advocated
by some individual who was a Clear-grit—
that is, who thought and reasoned is ad-
vance of his fellow Legislators. His views
and motions have been discussed and nega-
tived, and, with himself, have beim ridiculed
SO visionary or revolutionary, till other a.
and other times reeder.d the adoption of
these measure" expedient, or perhaps imper-
ative. The Clear -grits aro the pioneers of
progress, and beoce, we always feel inclined
to bid them "God Speed." Our Canadian
Clear -grits, however, have been guilty of a
very carious error, for wbich we feel truly
sorry, both on their own account and far
the make of the cause of progress. They
have in some instances, displayed a bitter
hostility towards the present Government,
and, with all its faults, it is a Reform Gov-
ernment, and is composed of team who have
dome much for the cause of liberty in this
country. And although the Clear -grits felt
inclined to go faster, and to advocate more
liberal legislation, it did not necessarily fol-
low, that they should oppome men who are
rally Reformers, although on • *lower
B eale. This, we think, is the sin of oar
Canadian Clear -grits. They must be a-
ware that the queeuon is simply " Progress
or no progress r and that, in the prevent
state of political parties, to oppose even
• low progrees, is to advasa Toryism.—
Still, we have full faith in their geed ides-
tions—we bats hope in their future coo -
duct, and should, lkere(ere, fool much re-
gret should they be jutted off the Cures at
the coming eleetios.
