A number of young latlie3 visited our house one afternoon last week, and as they j all knew ine and my bachelor habits like j a book, conversation was carried on in that free and unteserved manner which marks an assemblage of intimate friends. In this case I was more of a listener than a par ticipant, and it struck mo forcibly* that the j main topics of conversation introduced among a bevy ot young gi'l 9 are almost j invariably DRESS ami MARRIAGE, horaii I know, similar conversation may have been advanced in my presence a hundred times before without impressing itself upon i inv mind, but in this case it threw me into a brown study' respecting matters and j things in general concerning the fair sex as j the love-sick youth delights to term them, j the ♦better half' as more mature years prove them, or the 4 old woman,' a vile title bestowed by the unthinking, as fifty j years wrinkle a pleasant face and whi- i ten the raven hair, though seldom searing the heart. In my estimation a kind old lady is one of the most agreeatde beings ; on earth. Whatever sire does, is done in such a soft and pleasing way that it cannot fail to impress itself upon the mind; her tone of voice, too, is tempered into that sweet blending between love and affection which is never heard save when the gen- j tie breezes of summer rustle the overhang- , ing leal into a motion that steals o'er the heart like distant music ; and withal, sh" i is so neat and tidy, so benevolent in feel- ; ing, so ready to do good, and so willing to < comfort where the arrow of affliction has j made its mark—that I have olten wonder ed there is not a more universal feeling of respect and esteem for this class, and that | they are not more gent rally held up as ; bright examples of what human beings ought to be. Ah ! ye who have relatives ; verging on the number of days allotted to j them on earth, have a care how in thought ! or action you shun their counsels. They ( have seen life as it is, have perhaps beer, bent by its storms, and learned wisdom from the past, and if they check your course, have naught at heart but your fu ture good—no motive but your welfare and happiness. But lam geltingastray. To return then j to the subject on which I set out, I remark- j ed that the leading features exhibited by j young ladies are dress and marriage—the former being evidently looked to as the means for attaining the latter, which is no doubt considered the acme of their ambi tion, the haven of rest, and the Ultima Thule of their hopes. And yet how few : who, in this frame of mind, succeed in pledging themselves to " love, honor and obey" one whojs perhaps actuated by a similar motive, do not find cause to regret that the step was not more maturely weighed ere taken, and that too frequently before a brief year has marked them as man and wife. The former soon discovers that much of the fastidiousness, neatness and care in dress he had so much admired in his dulcinea, was more of a bait to catch him than the result of regular habits, anil though she may still like to flourish on the streets or in company, her appearance be fore her husband is but a secondary consi deration. She too ere long finds that her beau-ideal of a man has habits he had ta ken good care to conceal in the halcyon days of courtship—such as now and then ripping out an oath, a fondness for brandy and water, a sociable game of cards, and oilier foibles that might have changed the current of her feelings had they been known before the " happy day" which transferred her from the anxious bench of single life to the duties of a wife. But this knowledge comes too late, and unless a forgiving disposition is inculcated in time, heartburnings, crimination and recrimina tion, moroseness, and a long train ofoiher domestic evils intrude, and what ought to be peace and harmony is turned into con fusion and turmoil. To rehearse theconversation that passed in our house during the afternoon is unne cessary, because a similar strain can be beard wherever half a dozen are gathered together. The dress and appearance of all the young ladies in the neighborhood were first scrutinized, analyzed, and com mented on ; nextthe goods, wares and mer chandize to be found in the several stores were duly discussed, and lastly came the all-absorbing question of beaux. "If I was married," said one, " I would set down and take life at ease—work when 1 lit. and do as I pleased." Wc shall see about that, my lady, thought I ; if you get the chap on whom you are occasionally •casting a sheep's eye, my word for it you'll sing another song. "I would like to see the man that would prevent me from get ting what 1 wanted," said another. '• No one will catch me washing dishes or scrub bing floors, like Mrs. already does, when I ain married," said a third. " 1 wouldn't care to work some," said a fourth, " but I shouin dearly love to have a horse and carriage." And thus it went round : each had a reservation ol some kind, and not one alluded to the foundation of happi ness in married life, namely, a disposition to accommodate themselves to the means their husbands might possess, a devotion to household duties, and a proper spirit of economy. They seemed to think a young man but wanted a wife for a doll, to be dressed arid stuck up in a parlor, while the husband might sweat and toil to provide means to gratify her wishes. " Live and learn," young ladies ; if you succeed in noosing some fellow, and carry out such ideas, it won't be your fault if he and you live and die poor. N. B. I am glad to say I escaped a drubbing at Aunt Tabby's hands by the rumor that the Lancaster Bu:.k had filled. In the beginning of the week she was kept , busy in getting rid of sundry notes with which she was blessed, by purchasing in numerable lots of goods she did not want, I and since that time she has been totai y , : engrossed in devising ways and means what to do with them.

Cooper's Vegetable Compound Fever aid Igoc Pills. THESE PILLS are compel*' D entirely of Vegetable SuliHtance?, and in ninty-iiinecages out of every hun dred, will perl" .rm a perfect and Complete cur? in three days. No instance has ever been known, where more than six days have been required to perform a complete cure, even in the very worst cases, and on the strongest constitutions. We would earnestly say to all who are afflicted with this distressing disease, to get one box and try ili-m, and in al! cases, two boxes are warranted to eure, if taken according to the directions, or the money returned. These pills not only perforin a perfect cure in three daj". b-tt remove the bile and create a healthy ictioo of the fiver, and consequently fortify the system again.t a future attack. ALSO, My Vegetable Anti-Dysfcpsia Bitlcrs. This Medicine is a certain cnre fur Dyspepsia in its very worst forms. Thousands of cases have heen com pletely cured by it within the iast year, which have been entirely despaired of by the regular family physi cians. We da not recommend it to cure everything—we recommend it to cure Dyspepsia,and tile d seases origi nating from it, and that it w ill cure in almost every case, and it is recommended for nothing else. In many in stances, even the worst of cases have been completely cured in two and three months, but it depends somewhat upon the constitution of the patient. We would say to all who are afflicted with Dyspepsia, give this medicine a fair trial, and it it fails to do good, your money will be returned. ALSO, My Vegetable Worm Powders. This is the most wonderful Worm Destroyer ever known, and at the same time, so pleasant lot ike, that iilino! every child will be fond of it, and many instances have been known of children crying for more after once taking it. This medicine is in the form of a powder, the only medicine ever used in that form, and it operates on a principle entirely different from any other medicine ever administered by any other physician. Ir is the only medicine winch has no Worm-seed Oil or Turpentine combined with it, which is believed by ail oilier phj si cians, to be the only two tilings which will destroy worms, and these two things combined, together with castor oil, are the active principles of all other worm medicines, which every person who h is ever lasted or siii'.-ileit, knows to be tiie most nauseous of all nam-cus medicin.-s, ami on account of which, there is generally something added to destroy this nauseous taste, and in order to do liiif, it must be something stronger than the medicine itself, and therefore, it must necessarily destroy some of its medicinal properties. These powders are simple and so harmless, that a child may eat a whole box at once, and it will not ue hurt, while at the eatne time, the principle upon which it acts being different from any thing else ever used, it will destroy ail kinds of Worm? with a certainty never equaled. It will not only destroy the seat worms, or Ascartdes, and long, round worms,or Teres, but is the most effectual medicine for the destruc tion of the Tape Worm ever known. Ten doses have brought as many as FIVE Tape Worms from one person. If your children have any symptoms of worms, try these powders, and in nine cases out of ten, you will nev er use any oilier. These are also warranted. These medicines are all separate, and one for each dia- ease, and each fur only one disease. They are not re commended, as many oilier medicines are, to cure some i fifteen or twenty diseases, and ail of different natures, i but they are each to cure but one disease, and that they j will do in ninety -nine cases out of every hundred, mid t where they have a fair trial and fail in all cases, the ! money will be returned. i>r. .1. w. cooPKirs Celebrated Vegetable Anti-Dyspepsia Fills, A certain cure for Indigestion, Debility, Sickness or j Huming in the Stomach, Pain in the Side and Stomach, C i.stivenees, Sensation, of Weight in the Stomach after Eating, Difficulty of Breathing, Restlessness, Want of Appetite, Palpitation of the Heart, and all otber Diseases which arise from INDIGESTION. r Certificates can lie seen at the Agents.

EMERSON. The following was one of the worst of cases, which the physicians and fiiends thought to be incurableeon ' sumption : CitEST3n, PA., Aug. 22, ISiG. J. C. Aycr—Sir: I was taken with a terrible cough, i brought on by a cold, in the beginning of last February, j and was confined to my bed more than two months I (.toughing incessantly night and day, I became ghastly and pale, my eyes were sunken and classy, and my 1 breath very short. Indeed, 1 was rapidly failing, and itt such distress for breath, that but little hope of my recov <■ ry could be entertained. While in this situation a friend of mine (the Rev. John Keller, of the Methodist church) brought me a bottle of your CHERRY PECTOKAL, which 1 tried more to gratify hnu than from any expccta | tion of obtaining relict. Its good eff" ct induced me to j continue its use, and I soon found my health much im • proved. Now, in three months, I am well and strong, j and can attribute my cure only to your great medicine. With the dee|iest gratitude, yours, &c. JAMES GODFREY. ; Prepared and sold by JAMES C. AYEIi, Practical Chemist, Lowell, Mas". Sold in Leiristoun by ,I.BANKS, .decent, and by Dr. E.
