FROM SCOTT'S odes. 



RECRUITING. 



I hate that drum's discordant sound, 

 Parading round and round and round. 

 To thoughtless youth it pleasure yields, 

 And lures from cities and from fields : 

 To me it talks of ravaged plains ! 

 And burning towns, and ruined swains, 

 And mangled limbs, and dying groans, 

 And widows' tears, and orphans' moans I 



PRIVATEERING. 



How custom steels the human br( ast 

 To deeds that Nature's thoughts detest ! 

 How custom consecrates to fame 

 What reason else would give to shame ;

Alnxivif. — Try (o spend your lime uscfiiliv 

 both lo yourself and others. 



Never make an enemy, or lose a friend, un- 

 necessarily. 



C'ullivale such an habitual cheerfulness of 

 mind and evenness of temper, as not to be mi- 

 lled by trivial inconvenience and crosses. 



Be ready to heal breaches in friend-hip, and 

 to make up differences and shun litigation your- 

 self as much as possible — for he is an ill calcula- 

 tor >vho does not perceive that one amicable sel- 

 llement is better than livo lawsuits.
