There is a love in parly life Which shuns puradennd wsrdly strife. And seeks, contemned the princely dome, In humble cot. u happy himio. More ynrgeotis limn the pomp f kings, Thft coral and the pearl it brings, And all th glory of the skies, In living diamond beaming eyes. The rose's lilooni it yields to view. And lends its fragrance with its hue ; The plsdilenin-. smile, the balmy kiss, VTilh looks of fondness, thought, of bliss, Feeling that scarce know worldly leaven, And dreams nfecstacy and heaven. Life's dull anxieties above: Such, such is woman's early love? There is a love of elder prowth. Less dazzling than the love of youth, Where gentle looks anil anxious care Aspire, the husband's toil to share; Which seeks its solace and employ, Providing for her children joy; Which owns no happiness complete Till they are healthy, clean, and neat ; Which strives to spate the humble stori Aud make that liltle something more ; Love, which, the fiuiral table spread, A blessing breathes on daily bread; Which, sr.iruii!? finery and pride, V.Mitts in comforts self-d-nied. And teaches man 't's vain to roam For pleasure to compare with home : 'J'hU calms, as that the heart could move; And this is woman's noon-day love. There is love in a latT stage, When pain aud sickness grow on age, When he. so active once, and mi y, Perceives approach his closing day ; When failing strength and tottering limb, And sunken cheek and eye grows dim, And faltering voice aud visage wan, Have to a spectre changed the man ; Then, love, by the fond wife jmssessed, Too vast, too grand, to be ev pressed, )elights assiduously to ply, And soothes with tender sympathy; Consoles the mourner lor the past. And loudly soothes him to the lust. This love, in hours the tuoi-t forlorn, Sui parses that of youth's bright mom ; Jlitl'crent from that which marked lilt's prim.- Though not so brilliant, more sublime ; This love, from heaven derived its birth, Confesses no alloy of earth ; It lilts the sufferer from his woe, Above the care of things b 'low, And points tobiighter scenes above : And this is woman's final love!

In order that ymi may ho able to Veep your nmlnal vows, t con jure yon to look and pray to your Heavenly Fa thcr to give you strength and support.

Much, very much, depends upon your person al deportment towards each other ; a mutual confidence and habitual kindness are all impor tant to domestic happiness. A respect for each others' opinions should ever lie cherished. The husband who duos not consult his wife in all of his important concerns, no matter to what to lations of life thry pertain, acts foolishly. Her opinion should be respected and referred to in all matters, and particularly those which con nect themselves with household allinrs. If the wife differs in judgment with her bus- hand, and maintains her opinion in preference to any mutter in which her happiness is npially ' . : concerned with his, no matter hw continent lie l may lie, ho should not act contrary to her wish es.

If I had followed this course, it would have saved me thousands. In the course of time, incidents will occur in your family, about which you will naturally en tertain a difference of opinion. Tiiat differ ence should at all times lie expressed with kind ness of maimer and feeling, and marked re spect for each other's judgment. Never buy what you do not need, and avoid indebtedness as much as pssibl You will think it strange for me to tell you that you should cukivatu a fondness for the so ciety of each other, anil never, under any cir- ruuiritnnf oft. ftive. or seem to irive. n nrelereneo . ., - ., to the company of another. Regular hours are all-important to domestic comfort, to health aud happiness. Early rising when in health, Contributes to continue and con firm that health, and is important to those who depend upon tlieir exertions for a living. The constitution of man is best satisfied with eight hours1 repose; and the remaiuder of the day should be devoted to useful employment, and the services of our Maker. "Remember the Nahhnth day and keep it holy," is a divino commandinert. I pray yon ;ny children, learn early its importance, it was a remark of ny Venerable moth' r, oiten made to me, thai "no pood evcrc'.me. of Sunday work." aud I have usually 'ov.id it to he so. ftven ir persona do not Vlong to any 'church, a regular attenilaiwe ,ijvjno service chastens he fecl'nsjs an.l bolter fits and prepares them for i co'.npa nions. Avoid, tny son, d ssipalidri 'of al kinds-, and eschew the company of the wild end evil ciis- posed, a rdt would the pestilence. You have noV ho fondness for drini, ami it would be a great point gained, if you were at this early pe- riml of life never to taste urdent spirits cr in- I toxicatihg driiius. i tn your deportment towards your fellow meir, be fririk, Cftndid, Cpeti-hearled, honest aud just j lii all your dualities; and ncVer permit yeutsell to do an act which your conscience Condemns, or wi'.rcn you wvnM not leel willing sliouul bo exposed to the public view, in all your dealing', whether public, private or otlieial. Take no advantage ot yottr follow-mi'li in any tntitract, and never to teiiited by the hope oT gain to withhold from your neighbor that which of right and justice belongs lo him. Never insult a man intentionally ; and if you injure him by word or deed, in due season and apt manner make to him tho umendb honorable. If yotl respect the right of other, yoil will soon learn how to respect and maintain your own. Never permit yourself to get out of temper ; but leafn to command that and regu late it. A petulant man is neither agreeable nor useful, lio put ie tit in difficulties, and sub missive under the chastisements of an overrul ing Providence. The profession yod have se lected, is one ofgreat responsibility, and of high honor and distinction. In its pursuits fame may lie obtained, il honor be consulted. I cannot iu this letter tcnluie upon alt the adtit and rults necessary loinsrjTe respect for the lawyer; honesty, industry, punctuality, and fidelity, thou HI alwayi be conspicuous traits of hia cha racter. A prompfattcntion tohuainess, lnmlness and 1 eJ idignity of manner, are not incompatible with a freo and frank intercourse with tho world. If you meet with your fellow man in poverty, and nnabhj to pay you for professional labor, do not refuse cm '.hat account to engage for him. The reflection is ennobling that one has aided professionally, an honest poor man. Never ne- irlert the esiian nf the Toiitnw snrl tViO fatherless 1 haw, (without meaning to boast,) done nvich for those thus bereaved, in my profession, without fee or pecuniary reward, and 1 am none the poorer for it. One other admonition I will give, and enjoin its strict observance; never use your client's money, but pay it, as soon aayou collect it, to th.1 uttermost farthing. That the God of all grace may smile upon you both and crown you his, in this and the next world, ia the prayer of your fond father. C. A. WICKLIFFE. Roiieut and Anna Wickliffk. A Horrible Instance op Fanaticism, cau- t sing the death of an individual, is recorded in the London papers, of some of the Mormonites nr "Ijitler Dnv Rnints " At lhf wnrtia nt thn Grand Junction Railway Comoanv at Crewe. there are four or five hundred workmen of all religions denominations, among the rest some Mormons. The priest of the order is a black- smith, of the name of Cartwright and among the devotees is a fanatic, named Pugmirc, also a smith or engineer. The latter waa married .... to a respectaiiie woman ot aooui thirty years oi age, who had borne him three children, and was within three months of next confinement. She had steadily refused to adopt the fanatical opinions of her husband, an J much altercation 1 ... ... . , had ensued in consequence.

The night selected proved to be cold and dark ; the poor woman was plunged into the stream. Tho priest having hold of her naked arm, un fortunately let go his grasp, and the current, running like a mill race, immediately carried her away, and it being pitch dark she was in stantly overwhelmed by the boiling flood and drowned ! The husband walked home with IliA ...nil ntti 1m rmn I inr .ml nrtn r li nl n nn . tn- cla ring his conviction "that it was the will of God that she should be drowned," adding "that it w as the weakncssof her faith that caused it.'

It is somewhat leniarkable that a preacher of this sect, while baptising a disciple, was carried away by the Hood and drowned a few days before, irt the river a Handsworth, Woodhouse, near Shef field. A 1-oVfc Affair. Quite a romantic affair occurred recently at New Orleans, arising out of tender passion. A Dr. Mackay courted the daughter of Judge Story, of that city.

ThO next obstacle With which they came hi collision was not so t-asily ;ot over, bein; s, heavy dray and they were pitched into the mud.
