England activity. In just a year from the date of the dinner party where the monument to Harvard was first talked of, a subscription of one dollar from each person had been collected, which amounted to enough for the purpose ; and a monument, of a chaste and suit- able design, had been prepared. It was completed, and set in its place, with appropriate ceremonies, on the 26th September, 1828, when the Hon. Edward Everett delivered an address marked by those just thoughts, and that eloquent language, which have so often characterized his speeches, and delighted his audiences. The

following sentences extracted from it describe the monument, and repeat the inscriptions :
" It is constructed of our native granite, in a solid shaft of fifteen feet elevation, and in the simplest style of ancient art. On the east- ern face of the shaft, and looking towards the land ofhis birth and education, we have directed his name to be inscribed upon the solid granite ; and we propose to attach to it, in a marble tablet, this short inscription, in his mother tongue :
"On the twenty-sixth day of September, A. D. 1828, this stone was erected by the Graduates of the University at Cambridge, in honor of its Founder, who died at Charlestown, on the twenty- sixth day of September, A. D. 1638. [He died on the 14th Sept. O. S.]

" On the opposite face of the shaft, and looking westward, to- ward the walls of the University which bears his name, we have provided another inscription, which, in consideration of his charac- ter as the founder of a seat of learning, is expressed in the Latin tongue :
" In piam et perpetuam memoriam JOHANNIS HARVARDII, annis fere ducentis post obitum ejus peractis, Academiæ quæ est Canta- brigiæ Nov-Anglorum alumni, ne diutius vir de litteris nostris optime meritus sine monumento quamvis humili jaceret, hunc lapidem ponendum curaverunt."
The foregoing is extracted from the appendix to Eliot's History of Harvard College.

LACON'S TEN RULES TO BE OBSERVED IN PRACTICAL LIFE .- 1. Never put off' till to-morrow what you can do to-day.
2. Never trouble others for what you can do yourself; this will promote your independence.
3. Never spend your money before you get it; this will save you from many difficulties and some temptations.
4. Never buy what you do not want, because it is cheap; many have been ruined by this.
5. Pride costs more than hunger, thirst, or cold. Banish it from your heart.
