Every land has its own "beau ideal" of worn'

whose root asks neither garden-bed nor gardner'N ear" , but
will takelor itself strong hold where there is a handlullol
earth in the deft of a rock, whose polished leaf shakes
green and cheerful ol:cr,te snows of the keenest winter.
In her you shall find the/ union of ivonumly delicacy and
refinement with manly enoza and decision, womanly in
gennityand versatility in contrivance, with manly prumtu- ,
;114.4 and efficiency in executicm.
Vanle some Indies found their-chtinis to interest on a
delicate ignorance and inability as to all the practical parts
-of life, the only fear of the New Ettglaoul girl is that there
should be northing that waptau ever &r!, which she can
mit do, and has: not done a little boltt.-=r than ever it was
odone before. Born of frugal parents. who, with any other
habits would be poor, she learns earls to make en ergy
and ingenuity to supply the place of wealth. Born in
a lotto where all are equal,- no princess eould surpass
her in the feeling of self-respect. Born where tho nniver
. sal impulse of all is to rise, there is nothing indite way of
knowledge and accomplishment, which sift- does not hope
some day to acquire; and even witheut any advantages of
'culture, womanly tact, quickness of mind, and lady-like
.self-possession, - add.the charm of grace to her beauty.—
'
Noll if you wish to find this lady of our fancy you must not
loafer her in our cities, where all the young ladles speak
French, play on the piano, and are taught to be as much
like one another as their bonnets. wish to investi
• gate the flowers of a country, t on do not look for them un
oder the shade of a damask curtains, itt indows of
alrawing rooms, but seek them, as they giow free and in-.
dividual at the roots of old mossy trees, and in the chofts of
overhanging ledges of rocks, or forming : eye-lashes to the,
thousand bright eyes of merry brooks. So if you would
see this Yankee girl as she is, take a flight with us, up—
.tip---not to the skies, but to the north of New llampshire.
Alight with us now in this cosy little Wook, whbre doe retir
ing mountains have left space for cultivation, and hard
hands have been found to improve it. There; on the
•rerit breasted turf,-have been dropped some dozenor so
of dwellings, a meeting horse, and a school house, all in
arm- nondescript and unutterable styles of architectuo e.—
There in that village which never was aroused by the rat
dlo and tramp of the mail coach, whose only road has a
green ribbond of turf in the middle, with a little turfy line
on each side, you will ioerhaps find what I speak of. How
mill and said:oath-like seems the place to day—does any
live hero? There is nobodY to be seen in the streets
—nothing Miring but the leaves of the dense heavy suga.l
'maples, that shade the old brown houses, and the blue flies
r..„ \ 4 . md humble bees which are buzzing about, with great pro
tension to business, in the clover fields. But stay! there ,
•are signs of life; else why the rows of shinning milk pans,
—and hark: by the loud drawl front the open windows of
yonder achooldiouse, you preceivo there is a rising gener
•ntion in t h e land. Coino with us, where a large, mother
ly, old-falibioned house. seems to have set down to cool
itself on that velvet slope of turf, while the broad masses
of the maples and the superb arches of the elms, form an
array of foliage about it, truly regal That house is the
palace royal of one of the sovereign-people of Islewpainl,-
shire, to wit, Jonathan Parsons. Jonathan is a great man,

ileigh•bell. He turns his hand tot ore kinds of business
than any ono iie flue Nillagc, and, what is uncommon, •
thrives in all. He keeps the post office, and therewith al
so a small assortment of groceries, thread tape, darning
needles, tin pans, and axe-heads, and the wanel miscella
neous stock of a country store. Hellas a thriving farm,
—possesses legal knowledge enough to draw aids and
contracts, and conduct all the simple law businesS of his
neighborhood, and besides this, ho attends, in a general
way, not only to the government of the United States, but
of all the countries in the World; for Jonathan takes a
weekly newspaper from Boston, and makes up his mind
once a week as to all the matters and things- of the world
around, and his convictions, doubts and:opinions on thesi
points, are.auly expotaided to his townsmen, while - ho is
weighing out sugar or tea, or delivering letters in the
course of the week. It is a pity that the President of the
United States or the crowned heads of Europe never sent
to Jonathan fur his opinion,—for they would always find
it snugly made up and ready for instant delivery. We
have only to say in addition, that besides the patriarchal
wealth of flocks and herds, Jonathan had a patriarchal
complement of sons-and daughters, among whonuvo shall
only mention the eldest, whom we introduce by the over
verdant name of Mary. The Village had called her moth
er a beauty before her, and Mary has borne that name ov
er since she shook the golden curls of careless childhood.
Yet it is not the, impression of mere physical beauty that
she produces upon you: there is both intelligence and en
ergy in the deep violet of her eye, and decision as well as
sweetness in the outline of her beatniful mouth. Her
form, naturally slender, is developed bye onstant and
healthful exercise, and displays in every motion the elas
tic grace of her own mountain sweetbrier. And, more
than all this, there' is a certain cool, easy, air, a freedom
and nobility of mrunrr, a good taste in speaking and act
ing, that give to ller,lhogli untaught in the wars of the
world, that charm beyond beauty, which is woman's . most
graceful gift. For this imtitective sense of what Yeally is
due to one's self and others—this perception of dines,
places and proprieties, which forms the highest attraction
of the lady, though it may be wrought out by labarions
drilling, and the tutelage of etiquette, is often the free gift
of nature, poured on the fair head of some one who has
m ver trod a carpet, steit ft piano, or takeii one step in the
I - •
labyrinth of arnticial life.
Mary's amount of accomplishments, sp "called, was
small—including not a word of French, and no more mu
sic than was comprised in the sween.st of natural voices,
taught in the common evening ringing school of the vil
lage. But as a daughter and sister and -houseWitc, her
accomplishments were innumerable. Enter the cool, quiet
lqiase, not a room of which boasts a carptit, but whose
snowy floors need no such concealment. The chief of all
that is done in the house, in providing, making, mending,
cleaning'and k keeping in order, is by the single hands df
Mary and her mother. We know this may lead the mindS
of some of our readers to very prosaic particulars. \Vo
have heard a deal of heroines playing on the harp and so
forth, but tele% ever heard of a luroine walhing onironing?
The mont that has ever been nceolnplished in these re
sp% cts, was by the lovely Charlotte of Goethe, whom he in
troduces to us cutting bread and butter for her little broth
els and sinters. We can assure all our fair renders who
are inclined to he fastidims on the point, however, that
had they lived , tinder the roof of Jonathan Parsons, they
could sea% cely have been scandalized by any disagreeable
particulars. E . 'vern at the wash-bench, our heroine, in her
neat. dome fitting calico. never looked so little like a lady
as some r.at ones we have seen in curl papers and merit
ing gowns, before they were made up for company; and
moreover, inuelt that seems so laborious would he over
with and out of sight, long before the'y are in the habit of
having- their eyeS kpen in the morning,. Many, days they
would tind our herniae in possession of leisure to draw,
read, write, sew or work muslin, quite equal to their own.
They would ace that by ingenuity and that quick observa
tion in which pretty women are seldom, lacking, she could

good usage; and hat, though her knowledge from books
Was limited, her %%hid was active and full of thought, 'and
and us ready Al at the entrance of knots ledge, as a
diamond itt t r entrance of light.
You are not to suppose that a lady of such acomplish
inhnt;, natural and acqu'red, a lady of rank and station,
moreover, passed to her seventeenth year unwooed. So
far fromit,there was scarcely a personable article in the
way of a beau, who had not first or last turned a hand in
Chit, matter. There were two'dilapidated old bachelors,
one disconsolate Uidower„ - little a dozemichoOlmasters, ono
doctor and one lawyer, already numbered among the kill
ed and wounded, and still Miss Mary carried her head
with that civil, modest "what-do-I-care-for-you" air,
that indicated that her heart remained entirely untonched
—and'aii the n ouder was, whom should she marry.
It came to pass, one bright summer afternoon, that as
two young gentlemen, strangers in the village, wore riding
by the house of Jonathan Parsons, "the sudden -explo
sion of a gun caused the horse of one .of their to start,
and throw his rider, who falling against a post in in the
front of the door, was very seriously injured. Tho con
sequence of all this was, that the two very good looking
gent amen wore detained at the house for some two or
thrc • weeks. They were from Canada, and had come
down into Hew Hampshire on a shooting and exploring
expedition. The younger of them was the young Earl
of Ileresford, and the gentleman with him, a Mr. Vin
cent, his - 'traveling companion, to n hem happened the
unlucky accident. Ile was so seriously hurt as to be con
fined entirely to his bed, and my young lord being thus
suddenly thrown out of linsine,t, and into a dismally calm,
roomy, clean, uninteresting old house, with no amuse
ment but to tend a sick friend, and no reading but Scott's
Family Paper and Ike Almanac, thought himself in very
deplorable circumstanetss, until he caughta glimpse of the
elegant form and face of Mary, which suddenly roused
him from his apathy. Now when one :s treading, carpeted ,
floors, lounging on damask sofas, and smelling cologne
water, a pretty girl is very much a matter of course, un
less her beauty be of a peculiarly ram and striking char
acter. But where there ate no curtains, no pictures, no
carpets, antk nothing more luxurious than a very high
hacked, perfiendiettlar rocking ehitir, a - pretty girl becomes
an angel forthwith, and such was the case at present.—
The young earl really thought, all things considered, that'
he would do our fair young Yankee the honor to institute
aflirtation with her—so at 1e0.:4 said his Manner; When
he made his first advanct,s. Ile was repulsed, however,
with a cool and determined indiarence, which seemed
to him- quite unaccountable. We- could have told the
young gentleman the reason. It was not that Mary had
not a womtm's love of admiration, when honestly and
sincerely offered, but there was something in the gallan
try of Bercsford altogether too taking-for-granted and
condescending. She could perceive from his traveling
eqnipments, his generol air and hianner, that he had
alighted among them front quite another.orb of society
than any of which she had over conceived;and there was
a something indefinite even in his polltenesS, - that told hor
he looked down both on her and her Varela:4'as beings of a
vastly inferior order—and the thought ron: ; ed all Om wo
man's pride within her. No princess of the blood could
have been more stately, self-possessed and politely deter
mined to keep one at a distance, titan our village beauty.
The Eartof Beresford was a mere man of fa ion, with
no mon; than a barely'comfortable degree of reflection and,
feelitig. Entirely incapable of estimating.the real worth
of Mary's character, and valuing her merely by the rules
of conventional life, he was still struck by the quiet deter
mination of her manner, into something like -respect.—

Obitorial, Ncuio Jtcmp,
A WORD TO THE PUBLIC.
From our Tri-Ircekty of illondcli,
We have the pleatiure i t to-day. of laying,' before the
public the fistnambararthe "Erie Tri-ltreckly Obser
ver," and the occasion seems appropriate to offer a few
words to those upon whose patronage we shall 'rely to sus
tain us in our enterprise. , _
Erie is no longer the "sleepy borough," of fortner
years, the bye-word and reproach of the lakes, She is
rapidly taking her positiou among the most enterprising
and growing cities in the country. Her Commerce and
IManufactures are keeping• pace with the growth and
wants of the emintry = while now avenues of trade and
Sources of wealth aro daily developing themselves. - No
place along the whole chain of Lakes has Maintained so
steady and solid a growth, for the - past feW years, as
this. Her increase of population: and busine;s has not
been produced by speculation or fictitions'eaoseS. Build
ings by hundreds, chiefly dwellings. have beat erected,
but unlike those of '36 and 37, they have found occu
pants; and now we doubt whether there is one without a
tenant.-- And while our city is' thus prosperous, our
county and those adjacent, can boast of as large an in
crease of population and wealth many in the State.
Under these circumstances, and with the facilities of
fered by the ;Magnetic Telegraph fur the early reception
of news, we have deemed, that the business community
demanded and would sustain a tri-weekly, if not a daily,
paper devoted to their interest and that of the place and
adjoining country. The first - number of a paper of this
character is now before the public. Will it be st4ined?
This problem we arc determined to solve. We MVO: em
barked in the enterprise after duo reflection, and we very
much mistake the business men of this c:ty, if we ar cal
lowed to fail. •
In these days of Telegraph and Steam, it is of the ut
most importance to business men to receive the earliest
advices in regard to markets, especially those of our East
ern cities. All such information has it direct bearing
upon their own operations—in fact no man can do Inbusi
ness unless ho is put hi posses ion of such atliices. It
will be the aim of the Tri- Weekly Obscrrcr to famish
such information, so far as it can be obtained by Tele
graph and otherwise. Self-interest, therefore, would
seem to dictate to our business, uteri to sustain us in our
enterprise, not only with their subscriptions, but that moi.t
important of all newspaper slipport—ADvnArtsisg: 7 —
Towns are judged, in a measure by their newspapers.=
If May exhibit a large advertising patronage, it is taken
'abroad as good evidence that the town is in a ProsperouS
condition, and others are induced to seek in it for a location
—thus enhancing the price of real estate and croating
Market for all kinds of goods, manufactures and produce.
With tliese brief remarks we launch our bank upon the
waters of public favor, determined to hitched, and with
the full belief that there is it such word as FAIL:
Penick toff of Tilt: Crakcard Democrat,
in remarking upim the many conflicting statements in
regaid to jhe passage of the law abolishing Militiatrain
ings, sayti: "We know not whether the bill has become
a law. Aboht the fourth of July next the pamphlet Lave
will arrive here, t/ben we expect to know all about the
matter. If n laSv existed requiring the publication of all
laws of general interest in "each county of the State, iat
tnediatcly after their passage, the people, would be
made an/initiated at an early day with their provisiond
and govern themselves accordingly. Leftbe people take
this subject in hand, and let the press eeltOltiir feelings,
until n law of th;v kind is seevred.• ' Such an ono now ex
ists in the State of New York and iv deservedly popular
with the people." We reload to the suggestion,
heartily.

THE NEUTRAL PRESS AND PARTIES.
It has become very fashionable of late, among a certain
class of Editors, NV lien they can find nothing else whereon
to employ their pens. to launch their anathemas %Tait@
the politicalparticsof the country, accusing them of blind
adherence to the behests br their leadO'N, and a slavish
bowing of the knee to every measure broached. These
Editors profess a groat deal of indopendenco--patriotism
—wisdom—and, in short, claim for 11mm : selves, all the
cEidinel virtnes said to be' possessed and practiced alone,
by saints. In private life, however, every one of them
will be :aunties bittern partizan as any political Editor in
the country. Their nee t spapor profession on this sub.;
ject,• then, is all gammon—sheer hypocraey—intended

to subserve the cause of atm° of these parties they so zeal:

A paper before us—the Buffalo Morning lierahl=of the

Senses will pretend contains as 'much truth as a grain of
mustard seed, the writer gravely goes on to say that '!our
