The following beautiful sentiments are from the. • pen of the charming Frederika Bremer, whose ob servations might well become the rules of life, so appropriate are they to many of its phases: Deceiie not one another in small things nor in great things. One little single-lie has before now, disturbed. a whole married life . A small cause has often great consequences. Fold not your arms together andoet idle. "Laziness is the Devil's cushion." Do not run much from your home.— One's own health is of more worth than gold. Many a marriage, my friend, begins lika a snow wreath.. And why? Because the married pait neglect to be. us well pleased with each other after marriage as before. Endeavor always my chil dren, to please one another, but at the same time keep God in your thoughts. Lavish not all your love onto-day. for remember that marriage has its to-morroW, and its day after to-morrow, too. "Spare" as we may say "fuel for the winter."— Consider, my daughter, what the word wife ex presses. The married woman is the husband's domestic faith; in her hand he must =be able to confide house and family, be able to trust Iv r with the key of:his heart, as well as the key of his eat ing room. His honor and his home are under her keeping—his well being is in her hand. Think of this? And ye SODS, be faithful husbands and good fathers of families. Act so that your wives shall esteem and loie you. The Indiairs Nether. How helpless the.

The squaw loves her child with instinctive passion; and if she' does not manifest it by lively'caresses, her tender-' ness is real, wakeful, and constant. No savage mother ever trusted her babe to a hireling nurse, no savage mother ever pufaway her own.child to suckle that of another. To jhe cradle, consisting of thin pieces of lihtwciod, and gaily ornamented with'quills of the porcupine, and beads,and rattles the nurseling is firmly attached, and carefully wrapped in furs; and the infant, thus swathed, its back to the mother'S back, is borne as the top most burden, its eye now cheerfully flashing light, now accompanying with tears the wailings which the plaintive melodies of the carrier cannot hush. Or, while the squaw - toils itrthe field, she hangs her child, as spring does its blossoms, on the boughs of a tree, 'that it may be rocked by the breezes from the land of souls, soothed to sleep by the lullaby of the birds.

The Cincinnati Commercial, after speaking in thO most favorable manner of the proposed Western Railroad from Pittsburgh to Cincinnati, via Steuben ville and Mt. Vernon, alludes to the selfishopposi . tion manifested; ay a certain class or men, with con tracted minds, in that city, to the St. Louis Railroad, and their subsequentadvocacy of that project, after it became popular, and adds— " Although this line of road will be as beneficial to Cincinnati as to Pittsburgh, we fear there are prominent;individuals in this city who will give it a cold shoulder until it becomes popular, then they will jump a somerset and become its leading sup porters as they have done in the now popular line of the proposed railroad between Cincinnati and Si. Louis: We have witnessed these somersets with great pleasure, major the encouragement of our friend ofthe.Pitisbnteh Post, we will say, do:not be discouraged by theapathy Of the papers in this city "which have ever been but the mere followers, not creators of public opinion. When the route in gees. lion becomes popular, they will fall in with the cur rent, and give up another of their crooked opinions." These remarks will apply in a peculiar manner to certain persons and presses in this city. "Solitary and alone," we began the advocacy of the Watern Railroad, to Cincinnati, in the columns of the Post. We have written article after article on the subject, have published ably written communications, and have . aided in getting up meetings at various places, to enlist the people in favor of the project, An this time, many of the leading men of Pittsburgh vio lently opposed the route, simply because it could not be used as an'engine to serve their private ends, and enhance dte value of their immense estates.— Meetings have been held not only in Pittsburgh, but in many of the neighboring towns, in relation to the Western Railroad, and no:allusion has been made to their proceedings, editorially or otherwise, in the columns of certain papers in this city, while others proposed Riilroads, calculated to carry the'prodace and trade of the great State of Ohio to the Lake, and from thence into the State of New York, have been landed to the skies in these very impartial sheets! But the Steubenville, Mt. Vernon and Cin cinnati rents is becoming more popular eery day. Prejudices, created by selfish men, are rapidly die appearinr' The real active, ableand intelligent men, who push forward every enterprise, are now enlisted in favor of this Railroad, because they con eider .that it :combines more advantages than any other spoken of. We learn that in Philadelphia the capitalists and business men generally give this route the decided preference. The North American and other resiectable and influential journals of that ci ty,:have presented the advantages of the route in question; and the people of Washington and Brooke counties are now holding meetings; and moving with much earnestness oa this subject. All that is want ing is a'General Convention' where a free consults . . 9.1i,..W.1 be had in reference to this important ques tion. - The ball has been set in inotien—the.stelm is getting up; and those who are opposing the Wert ern Railroad, froni selfisli'ruotives, bad better clear the track whoa they. hear the whistle. Homestead Exemption We are rejoiced to learn that the spirit ofprogress has, at length began to show itself in our staid old Commonwealth. Mr. SMALL, the intelligent and in dustrious Senator from Philadelphia county, has in troduced a bill to. exempt the homestead of a family from forced sale. We print the bill for the benefit of all who take as. interest in thissubject : art Act to exempt the litmiestead cifJosoleent Debtors from levy and sale. Whereas, it is the duty of a free and enlightened Commonwealth to proiride by law for the relief of insolvent debtors ; to prevent or mitigate extreme social inequalities arising from an uneven distribu tion of property,' and to secure its citizens alike from the exactions of avarice and humiliation of 1 pauperism, therefore, Sec.. 1. Be it emacted, itc., That from and after the 4th day of July, fa the year one thousand eight hun dred and forty-nkie, the real estate of every citizen, in ! vie sole trader, nr widow, residing within this Com wionwealth, whiCh shall be owned and occupied by tuna, her or themy , as a family residence or homestead, shall lie exempt from levy and sale, lien and segues ;tration; for any +debt contracted by him, her or them, suhisequent to the Eiurchase or erection thereof.— Previded, That such real estate shall. not exceed in clear yearly value, the sum of s3oo—and provided farther, that this: act shall not be so construed as to divest or impair any existing lien or mortgage. This bill is plain, simple and easily understood.— We cannot for a moment think that the subject will meet with serious opposition in onnegialature. We are aware that there are many—very many—in this State, who are opposed to every thing that is intend ed to work a reform for the better. They believe it is wrong to build fences in any other style than that adopted by their forefathers. But these old prejudi ces are gradually disappearing; and in a year or two Pennsylvania will not be behind a single State in the Union, in works of reform and progress. Statesmen and politicians who interpose their paltry opposition to the wants and demands of the people, will have to' stand aside, and , permit men of more liberal minds to take, their place.

Larkin, EsT., late Consul, and now Navy Agent of the United States, to the Secretary of State, dated at Mon terey, November 16th, 184 S, and received in this city on Friday evening last. 1. The digging and washing for gold continues to increase on the Sacremento placer, so far as regards the number of persons engaged in the business, and the size and quantity of the metal daily obtained.— I have had in my hand several pieces of gold, about twenty-three carats flue, weighing from one to two pounds, and have it from good authority that pieces have been found weighing sixteen pounds. Indeed, I have heard of one specimen that weighed twenty five pounds. There are many men at the placer, who in June last had not one hundred dollars, now in possession of from live to twenty thousand dol lars, which they made by digging gold and trading with the Indians. Several, I believe, have made more. A common calico shirt,or even a silver dol. tar, has been taken by an Indian for gold, without regard to size • and a half to, one ounce of gold— say $8 to s l6 —is now considered the price of a shirt, while from three to r ten .ounces is the price of a blanket. One hundred dollars a day, for several days in auccesslon, was and is considered a common remuneration for the labor of n gold digger, though few work over a month at a time, as the fatigue is very great. From July to October one-half of the gold-hunters have been aißicied either with the ague and fever or the intermittent fever, and twenty days absence from the placer during those months is nec essary to escape these diseases. There have not, however, been many fatal cases. The gold is now sold from the smallest imaginary pieces in size to pieces of one pound in weight, at $l6 per troy ounce for all the purpoies of commerce ; but those who are under the'necessity of raising coin to pay' duties to the government are obliged to accept. from $lO to 611 per ounce.. All the coin in -California likely to be locked , up in the pwstom.housia, at the fast tariff of our Congreis is in force here in regard to the receipt o f Could you know-the vane of the California pla cer as I know it, you would think you had been in strumental in obtaining a most splendid purchase for our country, to put no other construction on the late treaty. • rr The placer is known to be. two or three hun dred miles long; and as discoveries are constantly being made, it may prove I,oo6milea in length—in fact, it is, not counting tue intermediate miles ye unexplored. From five to ten millions of gold must be our export this and next year. How many more years this state of things will continue, I cannot say. You may wonder why I continue my correspon dence!

To this state of dependence, laboring miners are now subjected, and.utust be, until coin is More abundant. Disease, congestive and intermit tent fever, is making great havoc among the diggers, and they are almost destitute of food and raiment, and for the most part, without house of any kind to protect them from the inclement season, now at hand. ' The commerce of this coast may be said to be en tirely cut off by desertion. No sooner does a mer chant ship arrive in any of the ports of California, than all hands leave her; in some instances, captain, cook and all !

The only thing the ships could do in case of an outbreak would be to fire upon the town. The volunteers at Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, &c., behave very well: no murmuring or difficulties of any kind with them; they complained that they were not allowed travel ing allowance. The funds from Mazatlan have at last reached hero; the amount is $130,000. It arriveilvery opeortune ly, as we have expended nearly all we 'ba d. The amount is a great deal more than will be required, as there are at present but, two companies in Cali fornia—one of Ist dragoons, the other of 3d artill ery, the latter reduced to a mere skeleton by deser tion, and the former in a fair way to share the same fate. I should suppose $20,000 would be sufficient to pay the present force (provided the 'companies are filled up) for a year. Treasury notes are good for nothing now; bills on the United States could not, be negotiated on any terms.

On the same day, there were three other cases, two of whom died; ono was floor Cincinnati; the other`was AR intemperate colored wothan; who resided here.

Deaths this year fifty-two, some of which were doubted u being the Asiatic Cholera. In 1834, it was worse than the two previous years, having cOminenced in the latter part of May; it did not ceasp - until the last of August, having swept away, sizty-one of our inhabitants. During the three years that it was here, but about one. hundred and twenty deaths occurred from it; so our citizens need not be alarmed, should it come hero again, for there is no healthier city in the Union, so long as our streets and, alleys arc kept clean. But, Mr:Editor, no living man ever saw so dirty, fittfiyirynaty and wretched streets and alleys as Per own natv'tre. Is there no law, to , prevent the Militias from throwing filth, Bre., out in tho streets and alleys, mid letting it remain there. Enough, but let our . , citizens keep clean, moderate in eating and drinki ng; the Cholera will 'not touch thetn. Yours, M. For tho Afortiin g , Post. Major Francis L.

Lowell agent of the most celebrated piano forte manufactories in Boston, states that he has sold not less than eight pianos, during the last six months, to girls now ac wally employed in !hotlines of that city. The pri- . ens rangedfrom 250 dollars to 350 dollars each.

DROWN - ED.—About 11 o'clock, yesterday, while IMMO black boys were playing on the hurricane roofs of the steamers Ivanhoe and Zack Taylor, one of them, named Johnson, a lad about 12 years of age, (son of Fiddler Johnson,) fell between the boats; and was not recovered till after 1 o'clock. Every vital spark had departed, and he was borne home by tome friends. A man was drowned, a little below the Six Mile Ferry, on Monday evening, by the sinking of a skiff, in which he was crossing the river. When near the middle, a leak sprung suddenly, and he, not being aswimmer, was permitted to go down ; for aid could not reach him in time to save. He was a stranger, and unmarried.
