TUB FALSE ASD TUB TRUE. ** Jn Pride. In reasoning pride, our error lies; Alt tjitUlliuir spherv and first) into fhu shies. What is pride 1 A wliUr.ing tucket That would emulate a star.” We are daily ahd hourly impressed wiih vhe fad, that false pride is one of the most fearful er- Me 6f our social system. Its victims may be counted by hundreds, h is inculcated not only hy thp.ricb, but in many cases by the comparative ly poof, and invariably 6y the empty end pretend* ing. It id a hollpvV, false,'and fatal system, and 'it ippokls powerfully and constantly to the selfish* Tioas aiid vaniiy of our faulty nature, There are at this moment many individuals iu tins comtnu* nity, who are absolutely living lives of wretched ness, starving their bodies end torturing their Sinds, with the object of ministering to the inor inata cravings of this morbid disease, for such it efiay be designated. Nay, some of them rather perish, to use their own language—dictated by a mistaken conception of life and its duties than subject themselves to the ridicule of the wdild. They cannot bear to be considered pour, dependent, in humble condition, or in any way in ferior to those who flutter and display themselves “in purple and fine linen.” And thus they sub mit to many a keen privation. Another species of false pride, is that which shrinks, as if it were disgraceful, from all reference to early life, early lubiis, and early associates. Thus, the begin nings of the world may have been characterized by industry, and patience and perseverance. These, In some liumble pursuit, may have been ihe stop ping stones to fortune, character and position.— And yet such is the infirmity of many, .that when they become independent or affluent they avoid all allusion to former struggles, as if t-hame and oblo quy were associated therewith. The fashionable world, they fancy, will nut recognise any such degradation, thus they commit a violation of iruth and propriety, in an effort lo scan more titan (hey really are, or lo avoid an appearance of humble, however honest, origin. Another phase of false' pride is that which looks to professional lifu ut, the only>kind that is really crudiiatlle, or M all en titled to consideration. A laudable ambition it altogether proper anil commendabl i. Dot it in ui once absurd and discreditable On the part of a knero pretender, to turn upon and decry the path by which ho woo subsianiial<fortund, and topuint bis children thereto, as If it wore the channel 1 of disgrace. 'Che gentler sex are, wo fear, sadly given to false pride. They form exaggerated views of life and society, erect for themselves on ideal whifth is rarely realized, and in llto pursuit avoid the real. How few of our daughters are educated with a view to all the responsibilities of their sex, and all the cares and anxieties oftlio fu ture! Too many are taught to indulge in fancies which fade aWay with the passing years. And thus they discover, when too late, and by the sad agency of exfierlence, dial the visions of youth an oUod gay, fleeting and unsubstantial.

Sam peeped through Die Venetian blinds. ‘Morey !' exclaimed he, ‘if there isn’t Miss Jones, and I dishabille, and lucking like a fright; good gracious. I must go right away and fix myself.' As he left tho room Miss Jones colored, and with a composed air intimated that she would wail. Miss Jones was a firm believer in woman's rights, und now that the season was propitious, sho determined (0 lake advantage thereof, and do a UUlo cuurtmg'on her own hook. It was one of woman's privileges, which had been usurped by tho tyrant man, and de termined lo assert her rights in spite of the hollow foiroahueß of tho false eyclcm ol society. ‘Dearest, how bouulilul you look,' accompany ing her words with a glance of undisguised admira tion. ‘Spare the blushes of a modest young man,' said Sam, applying (ho cambric to his face, (0 hide his confusion. ‘Nay, my love, why so coy V said Susan 5 ‘lurn not those lovely eyes, dark an jol, but sparkling as (ho diamond.

Most of our readers are aware that Jerome Cona- j parte, the youngest-and favorite brother of the < groat-Napoleon, married, while undAt age, a young American lady, Mias Patterson, of Baltimore.— 1 This, if wo mistake not, was in 1803, and young Jerome was at the lime in command of a frigate cruising in these latitudes. Soon after tho mar riage (tie Prince sailed with his,, bride for Europe, hoping, buv scarcely trusting, we presume, that his imperial and imperious brother would sanction tho connexion. Napoleon’s action In the matter was very summary. Ho sent the lady from Prance, and bis compliments to Pius VII, requesting him to declare tho marriage null and void. But thu Pope, who had <v conscience, refused, whereupon ' the Emperor look thu responsibility of pronounc- : ing a dtvorco himself, and by way of clinching tho matter, wedded Jerome out of hand to a daughter ol the King ol Wurtcmburg, and afterwards made him King of Westphalia. Miss Patterson, Jo all moral and religious intents and purposes the real wife of Jerome, had a son, Jerome Napoleon Bona parte, who now resides on a noble plantation in Maryland, and is comparatively o young man Mo, 100, hag a son, who graduated with distin guished honor at West Point this year, and has entered the United Stales Army.
