I love the ivy mantled tower, Kock'd by the storm of thousand years: The grave whose melancholy flower Was nourished by a martyr's tears; The sacred yow, so fear'd in" war, Which like the sword to David given, Inflicted not a human scar, Hut lent to man the arms of Heaven. I lovo the organ's joyous swell, Sweet echo of the joyous ode; I love the cheerful village bell, Faint emblem of the call of God: Waked by the sound, I bend my feetj I bid my swelling sorrows cease; I do but touch the mercy seat, And hear the still small voice of peace. And, as the ray of evening fades, I love amidst the dead to stand; Where, in the charnel's deepening shades, I soem to meet the ghostly band. One comesOh! mark his sparkling eye; I know his faith, his strong endeavor; Another Ah! I hoar him sigh, Alas! and he is gone forever! Another treads the shadowy aisle; I know him 'lis my sainted sire; Iknow his patient arigol smile, His shepherd's voi;e, his eye of fire! His ashes rest in yonder urn; I saw his death, I clos'd his eye; Bright sparks amidst those ashes burn; That death has tought me how to die. Long be our Father's temple our!; Woe to the hand by which it fails; A thousand spirits watch its towers, A cloud of angels guard its walls: And be their shield by UBpossess'd; Lord, rear around thy blest abode, The buttress of a holy breast, The rampart of a present God. .Hooker. MISCELLANEOUS. From the Boulliern Literary Messenger. THE LATE WILLIAM WIRT. The origin of the following letter is thus described by the Editor of the Messenger. "A young gentleman who was about to leave the wall of a University, and looks to the law as his profession, who i riot related to, or concerned with Mr Wirt, nor even acquainted with him, and knows him only as an ornnmont to his pro-fession and his country, is induced by the high estimato ho has formed of his character, and tho great confidence that might to reposed in any advice that ho would give, to aek at his hands some instruction as to tho course of study best to be pursued.'' We give the letter ontirc. Baltimore, Dec. 20, 1833. My Dear Sin: Your letter, dated "University of , December 12," was received on yesterday morning and although it finds mo extromely busy in preparing for the Supreme Court of tho United States, I am so much pleased with its spirit, that I cannot reenncila it to myself to let it pas unanswered. If I were ever so well qualified to advise you, to which I do not protend, but little good could be dnno by a single lettor, and I have not limo fur mure. Knowing nothing of tho peculiarities of your mental character, I can give no advice adapted to your peculiar case. I am persuaded that education may bo so directed by a sagacious and skillful teacher, as to prune and repress thoso faculties of the pupil which are too prono to luxuriance, and to train and invigorate ihoFo which are dis- propnrtionably weak or slow; so as to create a just balance among the powers, and enable the mind to act with tho Inchest ef fect of which it is capable. Hut it requires a previous acquaintance with the sludcnt, to ascertain tho natural condition of In various powers, in order to know which requires tho spur and which tho rein. In some minds, imagination overpowers and smothers all the faculties: in others, reason, like the sturdy oak, throws ell tho rest into a sickly shade. Some men havo a morbid passion for the study of poetry others of mathematics, Ace. ice. All of this mny be corrected by discipline, so far as it mny be judicious to correct it. Hut the-physician must understand the disrao, and be-como acquainted with all tho idwfyncrocies of tho patient, before ho can prct-cribe. havo no advantage of this kind with regard to you; and to prescribe by conjecture,, would require mo to conjecture every possible case that may be yours, and to prescribe for each, which would call for a ponderous volume instead of a letter. I be lieve that in all sound minds, the germ of all the taculties exists, and may, by skilllul management, be wooed into expansion: but they exist naturally, in different degrees of health and strength, and as ihis matter is generally left to the impulses of nature in each individual, the healthiest and strongest germs get the start give impulso and direction to the efforts of each mind stamp its charactor and shapo ila destiny. As education, therefore, now stands among us, each man must be his own preceptor in this respect, and by turning his eyes upon himself, and descrying the comparative action of his own powers, discover which of them requires more tone- which, if any, loss. We must take care, howevor, not to msko an orronoous estimato of tho relative value of the faculties, and thus commit the sad mistake of cultivating the showy, at the expense of the tnl.d. W itn theso prelim inary remarks, by way of explaining why I cannot be more particular in regard to your caso, permit me, instead of chalking out a con r bo ot study by lurnishing you with lists of books and the order in which they should be read, ( ind no list of bonks and course of study would be equally prop- er fur all minds,) to close this lotter n ilh a four general remarks. If your spirit be as stout and puro as your letter indicates, you require little advice beyond that which you will rind within the walls ol your Umvorsity. A brave and pure spirit is more than "half the battle," not only in preparing tur lite, but in all its conflicts. Take itor granted, that thtrt is no excellence without great labor. No mere aspirations for eminenco, however ardent, will do the business. Wishing, and say inc. and imaaininir. and droamineof croat- n.lctf Utill nn... maliA Unll (tri-lll. ft' Villi would get to the mountain's top on which tno temple or fame stands, it will not do to stand stai, looking, admiring, and wish ing you were there. You must gird up your loins, and go to work with all tho indomitable energy of Hannibal scaling the Alps. Laborious study, and diligent ob servation ot mo world, are both indispensable to tho attainment of eminence. Hv the former, 'you must make yourself master or an that is known ot scienco and letters; by the latter you must know man at large, and particularly tho character and genius of your own countrymen. You must cultivate assiduously the habits of reading, thinking, and observing. Understanding your own language grammatically, critically, thoroughly: learn its origin, or rather its various origins, which you mny learn from Johnson's and Webstor'i prolaoce to their large dictionaries. Learn all that is delicate and beautiful, as well as strong, in l he language, and master all its stores of opulence. You will find a rich mine of instruction in the splendid languogo of Burke. Ilia diction is frequently magnificent; sometimes too gorgeous, I think, for a chaste and correct ladle; but he will show you all the wealth of your language. You must, by ardent study nnd practice, acquire for yourself a mastery of the language, and be ablo both tnsponk and to write it, promptly, easily, elegantly, and with that variety ot stylo which different subjects, different hearers, and different reoders are continually requiring. You must havo such a command of it as to bo able to adapt yourself, with intuitive quickness and ense, to every situation in which you mny chance to be plnoed and you will find no great dilliculty in this, if you have the copia vtrbarum nnd correct taste. With this study of the language you must take care to uuiio thn habits already mentioned tho diligent observation, of all that it is papains nroum! you, and active, close, and useful thinking. It you have access to Franklin's work, read them corefully, particularly tho third volume, and ynu will know what I mean by the habits of observing and thinkn g. We cannot nil be Franklins, it is true; but, by imitating his mentnl hibitn and unwearied industry we may reach an eminenco we should never otherwise attain. Nor would behave been the Franklin he was, if he had po-mitted himself to bo discouraged by the reflection that we cannnut all ba JVrio tons. It is our business to mike the most of our own talents and opportunities; and instead of discournging ourselves by comparisons and impossibilities, to believe all things imaginary possible, as indeed almost all things are, to a spirit bravely and firmly resolved. Franklin was a fine model af a practical man, as contradistinguished from auiiioiiary theorist, as men of genius, are vory apt to bo. Ho was great in that greatest of all good qualities, sound, strong, common sense. A mere book-worm is a miserable drivellor: and a mere genius, a thing of gossnmer fit only for the mind to sport with. Direct your intellectual efforts, principally, to the cultivation of the strong masculino qualities of the mind. Learn, (I repeat it,) Jo think think deeply, comprehensively, povserfully and learn the simplo nervous language which is appropriate to that kind of thinking. Head the legal and political arguments of Chief Justice Marshall, and thoso of Alexander Hamilton, which aro coming out. Read them, study them; and observe with what an om nipotent sweep of thought they range over the whole Held ot every subject they take into hand and that with a seythe so ample, and so keen, thai not a straw is letl stand ing behind thorn. Ilrace yourself up to theso great effort. Strike for this giant character of mind, and leave prettincss and frivolity for tri-tiers. There is nothing in your lettor that suggests tho necessity of this admonition; I mako it merely with reference to thot tendency to efflorescence which I have occasionally heard charged to southern genius. It is p-rfectly consistent with those herculean habits of thinking, to bo a laborious student, and to know all that books can teach. This extensive acquisition is necessary, not only to teach you how far science has advanced in every direction. and where the terra incognita begins, into which genius ii to direct its future discoveries, but to loach you also the strength and tho weakness ot the human intellect how far it is permitted us to go, and were tho penetration of man is forced, by its own impolanco and tho nature of the subject, to givo up tho pursuit and when you havo mastered all tho past conquests of science, ycu understand what Socrates meant by saying, that ho knew only enough to ho suro tint he knew milking; nothing, compared with the illimitable tract that lies beyond the reach of our faculties. You must never bo satisfied with the surface of things- probe them to the bottom, and let nothing go till you understand it a thoroughly as your powers will ennblo you. Soizo the moment of excited curiosity on any subject to solve your doubts; fur it you lot it pass, tho desire may never return, and you may remain in ignorance. 1 ho habits which 1 have boen recommending aro not merely for collego, but lor life. Franklin's habits'of constant and deep excogitation clung to him to his latest hour. f orm thoso habits now learn all that may be learned at your Univoraity, and bring all yuur acquisitions and your habits to the study of thn law, which you say is '3 be your professions and when you come .0 this study, come resolved to master it not to play in its shallows, but to sound all it depths. There is no knowing what a mind, greatly and firmly resolved, may achieve in this department of scioncc, as well as every other. Hesolve to be tho first lawyer ol our ago, in tho depth, extent, variety and accuracy ot your legal learning. .'Ins- tor tho scienco of pleading master Coko upon Liiitietnn, and Cuke's and rlowuen s Itepnrts manter Fearnoon Contingent He- maindors ami Kxecutory Devises, till you can sport and play familiarly with its subtile distinctions. Lay your loiindation deep, and broad, and strong, and ynu will find tho superstructure comparatively light work. It la not ey snnnkinir from the di Itncti It parts of the scienco, but by courting thoin, grappling with thorn, and overcoming them, i hat a man rises in professional greatness. There is a great deal of law learning that is dry, dark, cold, revolting but it is an old feudal castle in perfect preservation, which tho legal architect, who aspires to the first honors of his profession, will delight to ex plore, and learn all tho uses to which its various parts usod to he put: and ho will the better understand, enjoy and relish tli0 progressive improvement of the science in modern times. You must be a master in in every branch of the scienco that belongs 10 your proiession the law ot nature and of nations the civil low the law merchant the maritime law, &c. the chart nnd outline of all which you will see in Blak-stone's Commentaries. Thus covered with the panoply of professional learning a master of the pleadinors. practice and cases. at the same time a great constitutional and pmtosoptucnl lawyer, you must keep away also, with tho march of general science. Do you think this requiring too much! Look at Brotiglnm, and see what man can do if well armed and woll resolved. With a load of professional duties that would themselves, have been appalling to most of nnr countrymen, he Btood, nevertheless, at tho head of his party in the House of Commons, nnd at tho same time, Bet in motion and superintended various primary schools, ond vnrious periodical work", the most instructive and useful that ever issued from the British proas, to which he furnished with his own pen, some of the most masterly contributions, and yet found time not only to keep paco with tho progress of the arts and scioncos, but to keep at the head of those whose peculiar and exclusive occupations those arts nnd sciences wore. There is a model of industry and usefulness worthy of all your emulation. You must, indeed, be a ureal lawyer, but it will not do to be a mere lawyer more especially, as yon are very properly turning your mind, also, to the political service of your country, and to the study and practice of eloquence. You must, therefore, bo a political lawyer and historian; thoroughly versed in the constitution and laws of your country, and fully acquainted with all its statistics; and the history of all the leading measures which have distinguished tho se-veral administrations. You must study the (lobules in congress, and observe what have been the actual effects upon the country of uie various measures that havo been the most strenuously contested in their origin. You must be a master of the scienco of political economy, and especially offinanciering, of which so few of our young countrymen know any thing. Tho habit of observing all that is passing, and thinking closely and deeply upon them, demands preeminently an attention to the political course of our country. Hut it is lime to closo this letter. You ask for instructions adapted to improvement in eloquence. This is a sub ject for a treatise, nut for a letter. Cicero, however, has summed up the whole art in a few words; it is "apte distincte ornate dicere" to soeak to the purpose -to speak ctearlu and dittinctlu to spenk grace fully. To be able to speak to the purpose. you must understand your subject and all that belongs to it: and then your thoughts and method must bo clear in themselves, and clearly and distinctly enunciated: and lastly, your voice, style, delivery and gesture, must be graceful and delightfully impressive. In relation to this subject, I would strenuously advise you to two things: Compose much, and often, and carefully, with reference to this tame rule of apte, distincte, ornate, and let your conversition havo relerence to tho same objects. I do not mean that you should be elaborate and formal in your ordinary conversation. Let it bo perfectly simple and natural, but always in good time, (to spesk as the musician,) and well enunciated. With regard to tho style of eloquence that you shall adopt, that must depend very much on your own taste and genius. Ynu are not dispnsnl, I presume, to bo an humble imitator of any man! If you are, you may bid farewell to tho hope ol'eminciice in this walk. None are imitators, to whom nature has given original powors. The. ape alone is content with mere imitations. It' nature has bestowed such a portion of the spirit or oratory ss can advance you to a high rank in this walk, your manner will be your own. In what stylo of el quoncc you aro best fitted to excel, you, yourself, il destined to excellence, aro the best ju Ige. 1 can only tell ynu that the Jlorid and Asiatic style is not the taste ot the ago. The strong and even the rugged and abrupt, are iar mora successnii. Uoiii proportion, boldly and briefly expressed pithy sen tences nervous common sense strong phrases the jelicite andnx, both in language and conception well compacted periods sudden and strong masses of light; an apt adago in English or Latin; a koen sarcasm; a merciless personality; a mortal thrust; these are the beauties and deformities that now make a speakor tho most interesting. A gcntloiuan and christian will conform to the reigning taste, so far only as his principles and habits of decorum will permit, tho finrid and Asiatic was never a good stvlo, eithor for a European or A mo rican taste, we require that a man should speak to the purposo, and coir.o to tho point that ho should instruct and convince. To do this, his mind must move with great strength and power: reason should bo inatii- leatly his master tuculty; argument should predominate throughout i but those great points secured, witandluncy may cast their lights around his path, providod tho wit be courteous as well as brilliant, and the fancy chaste anil modest. But thov must be kept well in the back ground, for they are dan gerous allies; a man had better be without thoin, than to show them in front, or to show them too often. But 1 am wearying you. my dear sir, as well as myself. It these lew imperfect hints, on subjects so extended and diver i-licd, can bo of any service to yuu, 1 shall bo gratified. They may, at least, convince yuu that your letter has interested ine in your belnlf, and, that 1 shall bo happy to hoar ot your tutura lamo and pruspurity. 1 oiler you my respects, and tender tho com pliments ol the season.

I love the ivy mantled tower, Kock'd by the storm of thousand years: The grave whose melancholy flower Was nourished by a martyr's tears; The sacred yow, so fear'd in" war, Which like the sword to David given, Inflicted not a human scar, Hut lent to man the arms of Heaven. I lovo the organ's joyous swell, Sweet echo of the joyous ode; I love the cheerful village bell, Faint emblem of the call of God: Waked by the sound, I bend my feetj I bid my swelling sorrows cease; I do but touch the mercy seat, And hear the still small voice of peace. And, as the ray of evening fades, I love amidst the dead to stand; Where, in the charnel's deepening shades, I soem to meet the ghostly band. One comesOh! mark his sparkling eye; I know his faith, his strong endeavor; Another Ah! I hoar him sigh, Alas! and he is gone forever! Another treads the shadowy aisle; I know him 'lis my sainted sire; Iknow his patient arigol smile, His shepherd's voi;e, his eye of fire! His ashes rest in yonder urn; I saw his death, I clos'd his eye; Bright sparks amidst those ashes burn; That death has tought me how to die. Long be our Father's temple our!; Woe to the hand by which it fails; A thousand spirits watch its towers, A cloud of angels guard its walls: And be their shield by UBpossess'd; Lord, rear around thy blest abode, The buttress of a holy breast, The rampart of a present God. .Hooker. MISCELLANEOUS. From the Boulliern Literary Messenger. THE LATE WILLIAM WIRT. The origin of the following letter is thus described by the Editor of the Messenger. "A young gentleman who was about to leave the wall of a University, and looks to the law as his profession, who i riot related to, or concerned with Mr Wirt, nor even acquainted with him, and knows him only as an ornnmont to his pro-fession and his country, is induced by the high estimato ho has formed of his character, and tho great confidence that might to reposed in any advice that ho would give, to aek at his hands some instruction as to tho course of study best to be pursued.'' We give the letter ontirc. Baltimore, Dec. 20, 1833. My Dear Sin: Your letter, dated "University of , December 12," was received on yesterday morning and although it finds mo extromely busy in preparing for the Supreme Court of tho United States, I am so much pleased with its spirit, that I cannot reenncila it to myself to let it pas unanswered. If I were ever so well qualified to advise you, to which I do not protend, but little good could be dnno by a single lettor, and I have not limo fur mure. Knowing nothing of tho peculiarities of your mental character, I can give no advice adapted to your peculiar case. I am persuaded that education may bo so directed by a sagacious and skillful teacher, as to prune and repress thoso faculties of the pupil which are too prono to luxuriance, and to train and invigorate ihoFo which are dis- propnrtionably weak or slow; so as to create a just balance among the powers, and enable the mind to act with tho Inchest ef fect of which it is capable. Hut it requires a previous acquaintance with the sludcnt, to ascertain tho natural condition of In various powers, in order to know which requires tho spur and which tho rein. In some minds, imagination overpowers and smothers all the faculties: in others, reason, like the sturdy oak, throws ell tho rest into a sickly shade. Some men havo a morbid passion for the study of poetry others of mathematics, Ace. ice. All of this mny be corrected by discipline, so far as it mny be judicious to correct it. Hut the-physician must understand the disrao, and be-como acquainted with all tho idwfyncrocies of tho patient, before ho can prct-cribe. havo no advantage of this kind with regard to you; and to prescribe by conjecture,, would require mo to conjecture every possible case that may be yours, and to prescribe for each, which would call for a ponderous volume instead of a letter. I be lieve that in all sound minds, the germ of all the taculties exists, and may, by skilllul management, be wooed into expansion: but they exist naturally, in different degrees of health and strength, and as ihis matter is generally left to the impulses of nature in each individual, the healthiest and strongest germs get the start give impulso and direction to the efforts of each mind stamp its charactor and shapo ila destiny. As education, therefore, now stands among us, each man must be his own preceptor in this respect, and by turning his eyes upon himself, and descrying the comparative action of his own powers, discover which of them requires more tone- which, if any, loss. We must take care, howevor, not to msko an orronoous estimato of tho relative value of the faculties, and thus commit the sad mistake of cultivating the showy, at the expense of the tnl.d. W itn theso prelim inary remarks, by way of explaining why I cannot be more particular in regard to your caso, permit me, instead of chalking out a con r bo ot study by lurnishing you with lists of books and the order in which they should be read, ( ind no list of bonks and course of study would be equally prop- er fur all minds,) to close this lotter n ilh a four general remarks. If your spirit be as stout and puro as your letter indicates, you require little advice beyond that which you will rind within the walls ol your Umvorsity. A brave and pure spirit is more than "half the battle," not only in preparing tur lite, but in all its conflicts. Take itor granted, that thtrt is no excellence without great labor. No mere aspirations for eminenco, however ardent, will do the business. Wishing, and say inc. and imaaininir. and droamineof croat- n.lctf Utill nn... maliA Unll (tri-lll. ft' Villi would get to the mountain's top on which tno temple or fame stands, it will not do to stand stai, looking, admiring, and wish ing you were there. You must gird up your loins, and go to work with all tho indomitable energy of Hannibal scaling the Alps. Laborious study, and diligent ob servation ot mo world, are both indispensable to tho attainment of eminence. Hv the former, 'you must make yourself master or an that is known ot scienco and letters; by the latter you must know man at large, and particularly tho character and genius of your own countrymen. You must cultivate assiduously the habits of reading, thinking, and observing. Understanding your own language grammatically, critically, thoroughly: learn its origin, or rather its various origins, which you mny learn from Johnson's and Webstor'i prolaoce to their large dictionaries. Learn all that is delicate and beautiful, as well as strong, in l he language, and master all its stores of opulence. You will find a rich mine of instruction in the splendid languogo of Burke. Ilia diction is frequently magnificent; sometimes too gorgeous, I think, for a chaste and correct ladle; but he will show you all the wealth of your language. You must, by ardent study nnd practice, acquire for yourself a mastery of the language, and be ablo both tnsponk and to write it, promptly, easily, elegantly, and with that variety ot stylo which different subjects, different hearers, and different reoders are continually requiring. You must havo such a command of it as to bo able to adapt yourself, with intuitive quickness and ense, to every situation in which you mny chance to be plnoed and you will find no great dilliculty in this, if you have the copia vtrbarum nnd correct taste. With this study of the language you must take care to uuiio thn habits already mentioned tho diligent observation, of all that it is papains nroum! you, and active, close, and useful thinking. It you have access to Franklin's work, read them corefully, particularly tho third volume, and ynu will know what I mean by the habits of observing and thinkn g. We cannot nil be Franklins, it is true; but, by imitating his mentnl hibitn and unwearied industry we may reach an eminenco we should never otherwise attain. Nor would behave been the Franklin he was, if he had po-mitted himself to bo discouraged by the reflection that we cannnut all ba JVrio tons. It is our business to mike the most of our own talents and opportunities; and instead of discournging ourselves by comparisons and impossibilities, to believe all things imaginary possible, as indeed almost all things are, to a spirit bravely and firmly resolved. Franklin was a fine model af a practical man, as contradistinguished from auiiioiiary theorist, as men of genius, are vory apt to bo. Ho was great in that greatest of all good qualities, sound, strong, common sense. A mere book-worm is a miserable drivellor: and a mere genius, a thing of gossnmer fit only for the mind to sport with. Direct your intellectual efforts, principally, to the cultivation of the strong masculino qualities of the mind. Learn, (I repeat it,) Jo think think deeply, comprehensively, povserfully and learn the simplo nervous language which is appropriate to that kind of thinking. Head the legal and political arguments of Chief Justice Marshall, and thoso of Alexander Hamilton, which aro coming out. Read them, study them; and observe with what an om nipotent sweep of thought they range over the whole Held ot every subject they take into hand and that with a seythe so ample, and so keen, thai not a straw is letl stand ing behind thorn. Ilrace yourself up to theso great effort. Strike for this giant character of mind, and leave prettincss and frivolity for tri-tiers. There is nothing in your lettor that suggests tho necessity of this admonition; I mako it merely with reference to thot tendency to efflorescence which I have occasionally heard charged to southern genius. It is p-rfectly consistent with those herculean habits of thinking, to bo a laborious student, and to know all that books can teach. This extensive acquisition is necessary, not only to teach you how far science has advanced in every direction. and where the terra incognita begins, into which genius ii to direct its future discoveries, but to loach you also the strength and tho weakness ot the human intellect how far it is permitted us to go, and were tho penetration of man is forced, by its own impolanco and tho nature of the subject, to givo up tho pursuit and when you havo mastered all tho past conquests of science, ycu understand what Socrates meant by saying, that ho knew only enough to ho suro tint he knew milking; nothing, compared with the illimitable tract that lies beyond the reach of our faculties. You must never bo satisfied with the surface of things- probe them to the bottom, and let nothing go till you understand it a thoroughly as your powers will ennblo you. Soizo the moment of excited curiosity on any subject to solve your doubts; fur it you lot it pass, tho desire may never return, and you may remain in ignorance. 1 ho habits which 1 have boen recommending aro not merely for collego, but lor life. Franklin's habits'of constant and deep excogitation clung to him to his latest hour. f orm thoso habits now learn all that may be learned at your Univoraity, and bring all yuur acquisitions and your habits to the study of thn law, which you say is '3 be your professions and when you come .0 this study, come resolved to master it not to play in its shallows, but to sound all it depths. There is no knowing what a mind, greatly and firmly resolved, may achieve in this department of scioncc, as well as every other. Hesolve to be tho first lawyer ol our ago, in tho depth, extent, variety and accuracy ot your legal learning. .'Ins- tor tho scienco of pleading master Coko upon Liiitietnn, and Cuke's and rlowuen s Itepnrts manter Fearnoon Contingent He- maindors ami Kxecutory Devises, till you can sport and play familiarly with its subtile distinctions. Lay your loiindation deep, and broad, and strong, and ynu will find tho superstructure comparatively light work. It la not ey snnnkinir from the di Itncti It parts of the scienco, but by courting thoin, grappling with thorn, and overcoming them, i hat a man rises in professional greatness. There is a great deal of law learning that is dry, dark, cold, revolting but it is an old feudal castle in perfect preservation, which tho legal architect, who aspires to the first honors of his profession, will delight to ex plore, and learn all tho uses to which its various parts usod to he put: and ho will the better understand, enjoy and relish tli0 progressive improvement of the science in modern times. You must be a master in in every branch of the scienco that belongs 10 your proiession the law ot nature and of nations the civil low the law merchant the maritime law, &c. the chart nnd outline of all which you will see in Blak-stone's Commentaries. Thus covered with the panoply of professional learning a master of the pleadinors. practice and cases. at the same time a great constitutional and pmtosoptucnl lawyer, you must keep away also, with tho march of general science. Do you think this requiring too much! Look at Brotiglnm, and see what man can do if well armed and woll resolved. With a load of professional duties that would themselves, have been appalling to most of nnr countrymen, he Btood, nevertheless, at tho head of his party in the House of Commons, nnd at tho same time, Bet in motion and superintended various primary schools, ond vnrious periodical work", the most instructive and useful that ever issued from the British proas, to which he furnished with his own pen, some of the most masterly contributions, and yet found time not only to keep paco with tho progress of the arts and scioncos, but to keep at the head of those whose peculiar and exclusive occupations those arts nnd sciences wore. There is a model of industry and usefulness worthy of all your emulation. You must, indeed, be a ureal lawyer, but it will not do to be a mere lawyer more especially, as yon are very properly turning your mind, also, to the political service of your country, and to the study and practice of eloquence. You must, therefore, bo a political lawyer and historian; thoroughly versed in the constitution and laws of your country, and fully acquainted with all its statistics; and the history of all the leading measures which have distinguished tho se-veral administrations. You must study the (lobules in congress, and observe what have been the actual effects upon the country of uie various measures that havo been the most strenuously contested in their origin. You must be a master of the scienco of political economy, and especially offinanciering, of which so few of our young countrymen know any thing. Tho habit of observing all that is passing, and thinking closely and deeply upon them, demands preeminently an attention to the political course of our country. Hut it is lime to closo this letter. You ask for instructions adapted to improvement in eloquence. This is a sub ject for a treatise, nut for a letter. Cicero, however, has summed up the whole art in a few words; it is "apte distincte ornate dicere" to soeak to the purpose -to speak ctearlu and dittinctlu to spenk grace fully. To be able to speak to the purpose. you must understand your subject and all that belongs to it: and then your thoughts and method must bo clear in themselves, and clearly and distinctly enunciated: and lastly, your voice, style, delivery and gesture, must be graceful and delightfully impressive. In relation to this subject, I would strenuously advise you to two things: Compose much, and often, and carefully, with reference to this tame rule of apte, distincte, ornate, and let your conversition havo relerence to tho same objects. I do not mean that you should be elaborate and formal in your ordinary conversation. Let it bo perfectly simple and natural, but always in good time, (to spesk as the musician,) and well enunciated. With regard to tho style of eloquence that you shall adopt, that must depend very much on your own taste and genius. Ynu are not dispnsnl, I presume, to bo an humble imitator of any man! If you are, you may bid farewell to tho hope ol'eminciice in this walk. None are imitators, to whom nature has given original powors. The. ape alone is content with mere imitations. It' nature has bestowed such a portion of the spirit or oratory ss can advance you to a high rank in this walk, your manner will be your own. In what stylo of el quoncc you aro best fitted to excel, you, yourself, il destined to excellence, aro the best ju Ige. 1 can only tell ynu that the Jlorid and Asiatic style is not the taste ot the ago. The strong and even the rugged and abrupt, are iar mora successnii. Uoiii proportion, boldly and briefly expressed pithy sen tences nervous common sense strong phrases the jelicite andnx, both in language and conception well compacted periods sudden and strong masses of light; an apt adago in English or Latin; a koen sarcasm; a merciless personality; a mortal thrust; these are the beauties and deformities that now make a speakor tho most interesting. A gcntloiuan and christian will conform to the reigning taste, so far only as his principles and habits of decorum will permit, tho finrid and Asiatic was never a good stvlo, eithor for a European or A mo rican taste, we require that a man should speak to the purposo, and coir.o to tho point that ho should instruct and convince. To do this, his mind must move with great strength and power: reason should bo inatii- leatly his master tuculty; argument should predominate throughout i but those great points secured, witandluncy may cast their lights around his path, providod tho wit be courteous as well as brilliant, and the fancy chaste anil modest. But thov must be kept well in the back ground, for they are dan gerous allies; a man had better be without thoin, than to show them in front, or to show them too often. But 1 am wearying you. my dear sir, as well as myself. It these lew imperfect hints, on subjects so extended and diver i-licd, can bo of any service to yuu, 1 shall bo gratified. They may, at least, convince yuu that your letter has interested ine in your belnlf, and, that 1 shall bo happy to hoar ot your tutura lamo and pruspurity. 1 oiler you my respects, and tender tho com pliments ol the season.
