SELF-EDUCATION.
Te Education, morat and intelectual, of every
individual, must be chly his oacn work.
There is a prevailing and latal mistake on this
subject.. It seems to be supposed that if a
..young man be sent to a grammar school, and
then to college. he must of course be a scholar,
and the pupil himself is apt .to imagine that lie
is to be the me're passive recipient of instric.
tion, as lie is of the light and atmosphere
,which surround him. But this dream of indo
Jnoe must be dissipated, and you must be
come active and vigorous co-operators with
yeoarleachers.and w-,nnun-aa-*
ion with an ardor that cannot be quenched, a
perseverance that considers nothing done
while any thing remains to be done. Rely
upon it that the ancients were right-Qusque
auerfortunrefaber; both in morals and intellect,
we give their final shape to our own characters,
and thus become, emphatically, the architects
of our own fortunes. How else shotld it hap.
pen, gentlemen, that young men, who have htad
Jnst the same opportunities, shotild be coatimut
ally presenting us with such differetnt resttlts,
and rushing to such opposite destinies? Differ
ence of talent will not solve it, because that dif
ference is very often in tawor of the disappoint
ed candidate. You shall see issuing from the
walls of the same school-nay, someuienes fromt
the bosom of thesameifamnily-two yotung ment,
of whom the one shall headmtitted to be a genitus
of high order, the other scarcely nhlove the
point of mediocrity;. yet, you shall see the ge
nius sinking and perishing in poverty, obscuni
ty, and wretchedness; while on the other hand,
youshall observe the mediocre plodding his slow
but sure way up the hill of life. gaitning stead
fast footing at every step, and mounting, at
length, to emtmence and distinetiom, an orna
snent to his family, a blessing to his counltry.
Ne~w whose work is this! Manifestly their own.
2Iey are the architects of their respective for

The best seminary of learning that can open
its portals to you, can do no more thatn to, al
-tord yeu an opportunity of instruction; bmt it
must depend at last, on yourselves, #vhether
-you will be instructed or not, or to what point
yniil psh your instruction. And of this
beassured-I speak from observation a certain
truth: There is no excellente withiout grcat labor.
It is thefiat of Fate from which the power of
genius ccnnot absoclve you. Genius, texerted
is like the poor mtoth that flutters around the
uandle till it scorches itself iC death. If genius
be Jesirable at nil, it is only of tbat great and
snaguanimous kind, which like the Condt'r of
South Aueses perches from the summt of
Chinmborazo -above the clouds, and su~stains it
self, at pleaaure, in that empyreal region, with
:aa~aergy eather invigorated than wenkened by
the effort. It is this "cap-acity for high anad long
Lontinued exertions-dais vigorous power of
profound and searching investigation-this ca
reering-and wide-sweeptng comnprehensioni of
snind-these long reaches of thought that
-Pluek bright honor Ctem.the pale-faced moon,

And drag up drowned honor by the locks."
This is 16e prowes and these the har dy achieve.

the great toen of the earth.
But how are you to gain the nerve and the
courage for enterprises ofthis pith and mometnt!
I will tell yotu: as Milo gained that &oe ssgag

had an abundam-e of rain, which has raised
our river ionsiderably. Boats of all sizes can

Previous to the revulsion of 1837, says
an eminent writer, "people borrowed too
muci money and did too much business."
We have very little doubt but what simi
lar scenes o'r extravagance. speculating,
river trading, will be exacted within the
next ihree years. to be followed by an un
precedented revulsion, again covering the
land with wreck and ruin. That the banks
re preparing to expand their promises to
pay to ani enormous amount, we have no
manner of (lots nt; we shall then for a short
period have more prosperous times than
perhaps, we have ever witnessed; owing,
s it will be said, to the policy of Gen. Har
rison's administration; then will come the
irash and desolation; which will be charged
to the sub-treasury and the want of a Na
ional Bank.
A n Old Villain.-The reader has unquestion.
bly heard that Mr Catlin, in London. finding
property stolen fron his premises, placed a po
ice man on the watch, and the result was the
rrest of'a dashing young American. who calls
Iirself Marcus Cicero Stanley. Much symn.
athy which was at first felt for him, has been
esseined by the revelation of the miany tricks
e has played in London, of the same kind.
The correspondent of the Herald effectually
ettles Mr. Mareus Cicern'.a- A&wars
ince Stattley atid two other young men slept
n the same room in a town in Texas. One of
hem lost $8100 from his pocket. lie charged
he other with the theft; the calumniated mana
halletged his accuser, and chose Stanley ast his
econd. Stanley stood by and saw his princi
tal shot, for a gnarrel whieh grew out of his
knavery; and when he was nfterwards detected
led to England. whence we hope. he will go to
Botany Bay. The other of the three young
men died. iit Texas, a miserable death, caused
b)y the dissipation in which lie sought refuge
from remorse.
'elcome to a Distinguished Strangcr.-Quite
a procession moved through the streetsof lous
ion on the 17th ultimo, tinder the command of
Bob Wilson. for the purpose of saluting Mr.
McQueen. late Postmaster at New Orleans.
Trh ny called at the jail, delivered an address,
and received the following in reply:-" Geitlc
men, you see befaro, you a pristoner who bra
never offended against the laws of Texas. I
came to your country in good faith to support
your coustitution and laws, to plough your fer
tile fields, and if necessary, to go to thiefrontier ;
but I have been cooped up by false swearing.
My friends I thank you for your sympathies."
Tfiis speech was replied to with three cheers
aind the band struck up a lively air and the pro.
ession moved ont its way. There are some
othets in this country of whom we should be
happy to record a similar hos itable reception
in Texais.
The Marscilles Hymn.-Thtis incl admired
aid popuibtr song was the production of Rougeh
le Lille, in 1791. at Strasbourgh. His coin

soul-itspiring song to aninilte his troops,

Arsenic in Paper.-We see it stated in one
of the daily palers as the result of uimerous
experients by a Frenchchemist, that cotimon
writing paper freqnently contains large quanti.
ties of arsenic. This is accountted for by the
fact that paper is often made from colored rags,
adI arsenic is employed in the comapositionu of
he colors. Hence the pernicious effects often
obsrable from chewitig paper.
A Sign.-An exchange paper says that the
biest sign a dry goods merchant can raise in the
West ins order to make a ready sale for his
goods is "NOT M ARRIED-"
The suggestion is pretty good; but it does not
go far etnough. The following, written utpon a
sign in a New England village, was better:
"Dry Goods. By JIohna Bigelow; who scishes
to get married." Tis signs drew all kinds of
cstot. Tihe single ladies went. ofeourse; and
the married mcen always told their wives to go,

happened to be passing in lrout of the Uni

ordinary modles or whipping, 'oaxing, &c.,
but all in vain, when our townsman, Joht
C. Montgomery, Esq., suggested the plan
of lying a string .tightly round the horse's

hearitily'for the very liberal aid:-ntid onpport thej
have rendered its, both by their connuunication
and their subscriptins.
The Cultivator was established to improvi
and elevatethe Agriculture of the country; t<
give a proper tone to the morals and uind a
the fanner; to show hin the digniy and impor
tance of iisprofession; to store his mind wit]
usefil knowledge, and convince hin that whili
all cla.ses are and must be more or less depen
dent on each other, he alone of the whole cat
make any near approach to inlependence. I
there is one thing more than another, which it
this country gives a uln stiperiority over hi!
fellow men, it is knowledge ; and this knowl
edge,-knowledge which is as essential to tih
success of the fatriner as of other men, it is th
design ofthe Cultivator to aid in imparting.
In taking charge of the Cultivator, the Edi
tors were aware (of the ardnous nature of th
undertaking. Under its former condnctor, thi
journal had already attained a very high cha
rmter, and we might have shcrunk fron the taal
ofstustaining the reputation it had gained, o,
from tie efforts necessary to still iartherelevati

PROSPEUTUS OF THE
Political Reforner.
Believing, as we do most sincerely, that ti
various coalitions and combinations of bank
era, speculators, and stockjobbers, which exisi
in our country, are of deadly louility to 01t
free institutioni--tbat the' frightful encroach
ments of incorporated weaLth are underfiniun
die pillars of our national glory-thit there ex
ists, among a certain class,, a determination to
doom to utter extinction that Liberty whici
t was purchased by our father's blood-we nre
induced to appeal-to our fellow-citizens of thi
yet free Republic, to aid its in the circulation of
a paper which shall unremittingly oppose thes
unholy designs.
That tbiere exists at this crisiq of our nationa
affairs an absolute necessity for a work of this
kind-a paper which shall ioolly; faithfully
fearlessly, and perseveringly oppose and ex
pose the dangerons schemes of the federal banl
party-will not be doubted by any who an
- blessed with season. Such shall be the enc
and aim of the present publication. . It.will ad
r vocate a thorough, radical, and completerefor
in our present paper promuise-to-pay4Unoe3
system, which enables a privileged rEw topr=
dollirs, while the hard-working MAN I Ue COM
. pelted to earn them; enabling rich drones 14
. exchange strips of brown paper with a picturi
engraved upon it, for houses, lands, labor, &c
Believing that paper-money corporations ar
the most dangetons forms of tyranny upon the
face of the earth, we shall devote our eniergreg
to open the eyes of the public to a sense ofthleil
I baneful influence. The Tariff, too-anothei
invention of the idle to hre in laxtrf at he es
pense of industry-will be undeviatingly op
posed. Internal Improvements by the Gener
al Government, a National Batik in any possi
ble form, will he handled withoutgloves. Tho
fanatical crew of Abolition deiagogues wh<
would desolate our sunny fields and crimeon
on hearth-sides with hntoait gore, will be deal
with according to strict juslice. Indeed, nc
r possible exertii shall be spared to. make the
r Reformer, in all respects, richly deserving the
- generous support of every friend of politics
t liberty. The iterest and active exertimis a
the friends of freedom in promoting the cirlula
R tion of this paper in their respective neighbor
hinds, is very respectfully and earnestly solici
? ted. We look tw them with undoubting confi
dence for their zealtns suppcrt, and dare 14
f hope that it will nut be withheld.
