RHIS OJI SKETCHES.
BY A RESIDENT OF IDEEP.3VILLE.
No. 11.
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.

Completely Cured in Three Days,
By Dr. J. YV. 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.

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.
