Capital s2so,ooo—Charter -
Perpetual. Make II
ruance on Lives at their (Mice, inthiladelphs,
andat their Agencies throughout the States, at the
owest rates of premium. Persons shouldssinsure
their lives, and do so without delay, whilst they
are healthy and fit subjects to be insured.
In this .Office there ate advantages greater than
have ever yet been derived from the system of Life
Assurance; which reason and experience convinec
the. Trustees may with safety lie offered to the
public. It will be Ihund, on inquiry, that Most
offices have in the outset professed to act on some
new principle; or to offer to assurers some one
particular benefit. not to be obtained from other
societies But policies are effected under various
circumseances, and with widely different objects,
• and what may facilitate the views of one man, al%
Ibrils no accommodation to another. It appears,
therefore, to the Trustees of the Equitable, that
the greatest good will be elibeted
,by that oilier,
which allows such reasonable advantages to every
assurer, as at the time qf completing his Policy, he
considers to he suitable to his particular C:tlie. On
this principle they net, and a lbw instances will
suffice to show the benefits derivable from its
thlOptiffil—the greatest good of the greatest num her.
• Nu policy will be disputed; unless under au act
of feted by the assured, and alleiwthe same shall
hove been declared by relerees oh' undoubted char
acter. In ease of error, either a's to age, or in the
• form of policy, or the answers of relbrees, such
errors, unless wilful and fraudulent, will not lie
deemed to vitiate the policy.
The Aravelling leave is extensive and liberal.
Persona insured lbr life have liberty to pass to and
from the States of Virginia and Kentucky, and west
or the river_ Mississippi, between the first day of
November and the first day ofhily following. And
to pass front any place or port #ithin the British
North American Colonies, or Uyited States north.
of thirty-four degrees north latitude, without pay
ing an extra premium. They are allowed to cross
the Atlantic in first class steamers during May,
June, July, Atigust and September; free of charge;
during remaining montha of the year, 25 cents on
each $lOO insured.
The age of the assured ,will be admitted on the
olicy. If the insured. die in a duel,by his own
hands, or under sentence of the law, such death
will not invalidate the policy, eicept so far as it
was the property of the deceased.
Thirty days allowed after each annual payment
becomes due, and fifteen days atter each quarterly
and half yearly premiiim becomes due, without for-
Teiture of policy. Premiums or lapsed policies
may be renewed at any time within six months on
the production of satisfactory evidence -as to the
health of the insured.
When a party effects a policy upon the life of
another, thC Company will fte satisfied if the party
had, at the time, a bona fide interest in the life of
the assured. The policy may be assigned to whom
soever the assured pleases, without the knowledge
onassent of the,Company (there being no clause in
the Equitable policies usual in the policies of mu-
TUAL Companies, claiming a right to be notified of
an assignment and their approval obtained) so long
as the assignment or transfer of a policy in the
Equitable is a legal act, and the party who claims
can give a legal discharge, the amount is paid by
the - Company.
The extraordinary advantage allorded by means
of the Half Credit system, in not requiring, under
any circumstances, an outlai of a larger sum a
money than is absolutely necessary to secure the
amount insured, is peculiarly applicable to the
CREDITOR desirous of possessing a policy on the life
his DEBTOR. It the debt is patd otr thiriug these
five years, he can discontinue the assurance alto
gether, having-secured the amount, in the event of
the debtor's death previously, at a lesserpense than
would iirany mutual idlice be charged lbr assuring
the life for seven years. - Wale debt is NOT P AID he
would be enabled to continue the assurance for the
remainder of the debtor's life, whatever might then
be his state of health. Attention is partici:l:try re
quested to the

The assured has to pay the premium in all cases
in advance, and HAS NO LIABILITY of any kind,
sort or description. A deferred nine is not neeea
nary to peanut any operation, and none will he
taken by the Company.
Persons insuring should hear in mind that a pro
nnssory note given to a AIuTuAL Orcicr. at Cola
pound interest, soon amounts to more than the sum
assured. Thus, $lOO per annum for :20 years at 0
per cent., would cause a DEDUCTION from the sum
assured- Of THREE THOUSAND SIN HUNDRED AND
SEVENTY-EIGHT DOLLARS AND FIFTY-FIVE CENTS.
. .
The premiums of Molnar Assurance Companies
being, as they profess, (though the Mutual offices
do somehow" advertise guarantee capitals) free
from the burdens of dividends to shareholders,
should be very much lower, than those - of stock
companies; YET THE EQUITABLE DI LOWER BY SIX
TEEN PER CENT. THAN ANY MUTUAL. OFFICE, and
at the SAME RATES OF PREMIUM charged by the
" New York Life," "The New York Mutual,"
" Albion," " Worcester Mutual," "Connecticut
Mutual," " Pennsylvania," "Girard," " Penn,"
"New England," " Hartford," " Baltimore Mu
tual," " Boston Mutual," &c., &c., 111 the

The assured being thus entirely relieved of pay
ments (if he is under 35 years (Wage) before he has
passed the prime of life, and that fur the sante pre
mium charged by the - Mutual Offices.
The premiums charged by the Mu - runt. Orrtcr.s
are all on the highest scale, (and by their own ad
vertisements) much beyond what in requisite for the
purpose of their business.
Their "profits" can only be realized, if ever
realized at all, after a lapse of twenty years. The
word Profits, therefore, is an abuse of the term, A
WHOLLY CONTINGENT AND REMOTE PROMISE, tar
it is self-evident, - and cannot for a moment, be ques
tioned, they must suffer loss by .every insurer who
dies before the amount paid by him in premiums,
with the accumulated interest, shall be equal to
the amount of his,policy—nevertheless, in the Mu
tual Offices the " profits" (177) are to be shared in
by the representative, should the insured die IM
MEDIATELY after one or two payments.
By the diminution of the premiums in the Equi
table, THE lINEATEST PRESENT BENEFIT IS SECURED
to. al persons assured by this comgany ; whilst
those who wish to participate in the profits can do
so, by the purchase of the reserved shares, (first
instalment, 10 dollars) which at all times afford a
good and reallrprofitable investment for' capital,
beside a vote for each share. This action the
Trustees conceive must commend itself to the judg
'meta of every unbiassed inquirer, being based on the
broad principle of equity; and securing to all the
members, the advantages to which they are justly
entitled by their actual payments; without opera
ting to the peculiar benefit of old standing members,
or placing recent entrants at a disadvantage—a
combination presented by no other office than the
Equitable Life Insurance Company.

construction of Stills, which improvements consist
of an additional tub, called a de i offing tub, which
is placed partly above the still, ir which tub the
doubler is inclosed, the beer which is pumped into
the upper tub passes down by a plug pipe into the
doubling tubi where it is brought to a boiling state
before it is let into the still, which pipe is opened
or stopped when requisite by means of a plug made
of .wood, copper, or any other material.
What I claim as my improvements are the above
described doubling tub and the plug by which the
beer passes from one tub to the other, or from the
tub into the still.
Having received informationomounting to proof,
that my patent for the above described improve
ments has been violated by several distillers in this
county and in various otherplaces, 1 hereby give
notice, that unless those persons who have made
use of my invention, or have it now in use, without
being authorized by me, come forward and make
lull reparation for having infringed my patent right,

MY OWN PLACE.
A RHYME FOR ALL GOOD MEN AND TRUE
Whoever I am, wherever my lot,
Whatever I happen'to be, •
Contentment and Duty shalt hallow the spot,
That Providence has ordered for me;
No covetous straining and striving to gain
One feverish step in advance,—
I know niy own place, and you tempt me in vain
To hazard a change and a chance!
1 care for no riches that are not my right,
No honor that is not my due ; ,
But stand in my station, by dal or by night,
The will of my Master to do;
He lent me my lot, be it humble or high,
And set me my business here,
And whether I live in his service, or die,
My heart shall be found in my sphere !
If wealthy I stand, as the steward of my King,
If poor, as the friend 01 my Lord,
If feeble, my prayers and my praises I bring,
If.stalwart, my pen or my sword ;
If wisdom be mine, I will cherish His gill,
If simpleness, bask in his love,
If sorrow, His hope shall my spirit uplift,
If joy, I will throne it above!
The good that it pleases my God to bestow, .
I grateffilly gather and prize ;
The evil—it can be no evil, I know,
But only a good in disguise,
And whether my station be lowly or great,
No duty can ever be mean,
The theory cripple is lined in his.fate,
As well an a King or a Queen!
For Duty's bright livery glorifies Al
With brotherhood, equal and Itee,
Obeying, an children, the heavenly call,
That places us where we should be ;
A servant—the badge of my servitude shines
As a jewel invested by heaven;
A monarch—remember that justice assigns
Much service, where so mach is given !
Away then with "helpings" that humble and harm
Though " bettering" trips from your tongue ;
Away! tbr your folly would scatter the charm
That round my proud poverty hung ;
I felt that I stood like a man at my post,
Though peril and hardship were there,—
And all that your wisdom would counsel me most,
Is—" Leave it :—do better elsewhere."
If "better" were better indeed, and not "worse,'
I might go ahead with the rest,
But many a gain is a joy and a curse,
And many a grief for the best;
No !—duties are all the "advantage" I use ;
I pine not for praise or for pelf,
And as to ambition, I rare not to choose
My better or worse for myself!
I will not, I dare not, I cannot !-1 stand
Where God has ordained me to he;
An honest mechanic—or lord in the land—
HE fitted my .calling for me ;
Whatever my state, be it weak, be it strong,
With honor, or Sweat, on my lace,
This, this is my glory, my strength, and my song,
•I stand like a star, in my PLACE!

A Good Ilusband.,r.
The good husband is one, who wedded nut by
interest but by choice, is constant as well from im
clination as !rum principle; he treats his wits with
delicacy as a woman, with tenderness as a triend;
he attributes her follies to her weakness, her im
prudence to her inadvertency ; he passes them over
therefore with good-nature, and pardons them with
indulgence; all his care and industry are employed
for her welfare ; all his strength and poWer are
exerted fur her support and her protection; he is
more anxious to preserve his own character and
reputation, because hers is blended with it; lastly,
the good husband is pious and religious, that he may
animate her faith by his practice, and enforce the
precepts of Christianity by his own example; that,
as they join to promote each other's happiness in
this world, they may unite to insure eternal joy and
felicity in that which is to come.
A GOOD WIFE.
The good wife is one, who, ever mindful of the
solemn contract which she has entered into, is
strictly and conscientiously virtuous, constant, and
faithful to her husband; chaste, pure and umblem
ished in every thought, word and deed; she is hum
ble and modest from reason and conviction, sub
missive from choice, and obedient from inclination ;
what she acquires by love and .tenderness, she pie
serves by prudence and discretion; she makes it
her business to serve, and her pleasure to oblige her
husband; as conscious, that every thing which pro
motes his happiness, roust in the end contribute to
her own; her tenderness relieves his cares, her
affections softens his distress; her good humor and
complacency lessen and subdue his afflictions, "she
openeth her mouth" as Solomon says "with wis
dom, and in her tongue is the law of kindness; she
looketh well to the ways of her husband, and eateth
not the bread of idleness; her children rise up and
call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth
her.' Lastly, as a good and pions Christian, she
looks up with an eye of gratitude to the Great
Dispenser and Disposer of all things, to the Hus
band of the widow, and a Father to the fatherless,
entreating His divine favor and assistance in this
and every other moral and religions duty; well sat.
isfied, that if she duly and punctually discharges
her several offices and relations in this life, she shall
be blessed and rewarded for it in another
A GOOD FATHER
The good fai her is ever human, tender and affec
tionate to his children; he treats them, therefore,
with lenity and kindness; corrects with prudence,
rebukes with temper, and chastises with reluctance:
he never suffers his indulgence to degenerate into
weakness, or his affection to be biassed by partiality ;
as he rejoices in their joy, and participates in their
afflictions, he never slitters them to want a blessing
which he can bestow, or to lament an evil which
he can prevent; while he continues with them, he
administers to their present happiness, and provides
for their future felicity when he shall be removed
from them; he is doubly cautious in preserving his
own character, because theirs depends upon it; he
is prudent, therefore, that they may be happy, in
dustrious that they may be rich, good and virtuous
that they may be respected, he instructs by his life
and teaches by his example; as he is thoroughly
satisfied, that piety is the source and foundation of
every virtue, he takes care to "bring them up in
the nurture and admonition of the lout;" that they
may be good siren, he endeavors to make them good
Christians; and after having done every• thing in his
power to make them easy and happy here, points
out to them the only infallible means of securing
eternal bliss and tranquility hereafter.
A GOOD SON.
The god and dutiful son is one who honors his
parents, by paying them the utmost deference and
respect; by a reverential awe and veneration for
them ; aTilial affection for their persons, and a ten
der regard for their safety and preservation ; a con
stant and cheerful :attendance to their advice, and
ready and implicit obedience to their commands.
As he becomes every day more sensible of his ob
ligations to them, he grows every day more willing
and more solicitous to repay them. He employs
his youth to support their age; his abundance to
relieve their wants; his knowledge and strength to
supply their infirmities and decay. He is more
careful of his character and reputation in the world
because theirs depends upon it. Ever anxious for
their welfare, and attentive to their happiness, he
endeavors, by'every method in his power to prolong
their days, that his own may be long in the land. He
rests assured, that God will not only bless obedient
children here, but will reward them with the bless
ings of heaven, where it shalr be well with him for
ever; where we shall all join, son and father,daugh
ter and mother, wife and husband, servant and
master; all the relations and connexions of this life,
to honor one great Parent, Protector, Lord and
Master of all.

An Interesting Case.
rnam the Near Odra. Delta.
The Nattirat vs. the Foster Mother--Pathetie Seem
in Court.—Wishing to see the finale of a case which
came up in Judge CannWg' Court on Wednesday,
and was continued over until yesterday, we omitted
any report of it until we could give the whole his
tory of what is one of the most romantic and in
teresting cases that ever came under our notice.
Without recapitulating the evidence given, or relat
ing all the legal forms pursued, we will condense
the facts of the case into a connected and narrative
form.
A few days ago a strolling family of, street mu:
sicians wandered into our city. It was composed
of an Italian and his wife, who had assumed the
English name of Wilson, and a bright-eyed, inter
esting little girl, of precocious intelligence,. whose
duty it was to carry around the tambourine and
collect the contributions of the crowds. This little
girl called Mr. Wilson and Mrs. Wilson her parents,
and seemetrhappy in their service, and in the affec
tionate kindness which the poor organ-grinders
lavished upon her.
Last Sunday the wandering minstrels were pur
suing their daily avocations in the suburbs, in q
neighborhood not considered the most reputable
portion el our city. The drum played by the man,-
and the organ which the poor woman turned, had
ceased their monotonous strains, and the bright.
eyed little girl was tripping it over the banquette.
and smilingly and beseechingly presenting her little
tambourine, for the picayunes, when suddenly the•
attention of a pour woman, in whose worn features
misfortune, vice and remorse were strongly blended,
was attracted towards the little girl. She looked
at the little ono with a steady, anxious and searching
gaze for a moment, and then rushing through the
crowd, seized her in her arms and tenderly pressed
•her frail little figure to her throbbing bosom, ex
claiming at the same time, "Oh, my child, my long
lost child! My darling little one! Havel got you
at last V The title girl was frightened, screamed
for '! her mother" (the organ grinder) to rescue her,
and tried in every way site could to escape from
the grasp of the 'wild woman." Fin'ally, however,
by the interference of Mr. and Mrs. Wilson, the lit
tle one, was taken from the arms of the poor stran
ger, whose anguish seemed to increase in bitterness
at the indifference or forgetfulness of the little girl,
whom she claimed to be her own daughter. At
the suggestion, however, of some by-standers, the
poor woman, who declared her name to be. Ann
Mayfield, was induced to let the strollers proceed
on their way, and advised to resort immediately to
legal prriceedings to enforce her parental rights.
Accordingly, a writ of habeas corpus was sued
out in the Second District Court, by Anti Mayfield,
against Mr. and Mrs. Wilson. In her petition, she
averred 'that she was the mother of the little girl,
named Rosa, aged seven years, who was stolen from
her several years ago, and was now detained by
the defendants. To thisf . and Mrs. Wilson re
plied, by denying that sh was the mother of the
child, and further alleged that if she was the mother,
she was of such notoriously bad character, that it
would not be proper for tier to have charge of so
young a child. The case came up for trial before
Judge Canon, and oceupied all Wednesday and yes
terday. The testimony established that the peti.
tioner, Ann Mayfield, came to Natchez some years
ago, with a very young child; that she was deser
ted by the man who accompanied her to thatplace,
and being in very destitute circumstances, and an
xious to get to New Orleans, actually sold her child
to the Wilsons. in order to furnish her with clouting
and bear hear her expenses to this city, but that it
was understood that she was to reclaim the child
whenever she desired.
Since then, however, she had heard nothing of
the Wilsons and her child, until the accidental en
counter on the streets. These facts were proved
by a competent witness, and were to a great extent
admitted by the defendants. There was some difli
dulty, however, in identifying the child. The mother
swore positively on this point, and the striking le
semblance between them confirmed her testimony.
After learned and eloquent ar g uments from
Messrs. Frost and Abell for plaintiffs, and Concklin
and Reney for defendants, Judge Canon proceeded
to render Judgment in the case Whilst the judge
was rendering his decision, the scene within the
Court room was quite an impressive and affecting
one. On one side was the interesting family of the
organ-grinder, in whose weather-beaten, scar-seamed
faces, a very perceptible expression of deep affection
and tender solicitude for their little foster child
seemed to predominate over all other considerations.
The little object of all this contention sat between
the organ-grinder and his wife, and seemed to be
clinging to them for protection. On the other side,
was the haggard and sorrow-stricken mother, whose
heart, though seared and hardened by misfortune,
still throbbed with all that intense devotion and love
which a mother only can feel. The Court room
was crowded with an audience who contemplated
the scene with deep interest. Judge Canon com
menced his judgment by relating a fact that came
under his observation about twenty years ago. A
poor colored woman, in this city, once found at her
door a new-born white infant, whom she took into
her house, and, with great care and tenderness,
nursed and reared until she -grew up to be a beau
tiful and interesting girl of ten years, when she
was one day recognized by a highly respectable
lady as her own child, and as such was identified
and returned. In such cases as these, the benevo
lent Judge remarked, 11111C11 stress must be given
to the testimony of the mother, whose instinct
would enable her to recognize and identify her child,
when all other persons might fail in so doing. lle
would, therefore, order the child to be delivered over
to the petitioner, (here the mother audibly exclaim
ed—" Thank you, Judge! thank you!" whilst a
deep sigh from the organ-grinder, and a low sob
from his wife showed how keenly they felt their
apprehended bereavement.)
As to the objection that the mother's character
was bad, that would be a good reason for depriving
her of the tutorship of the child, but it could not
be examined into in this dispute. It was admitted
that her character was bad. lie was sorry for it,
and trusted that when restored to the charge of her
little girl that she would alter her conduct and lead
a virtuous life. On the other hand, he did not think
that the-life and profession of the organ grinder
were favorable to the proper training of a young
girl. The Judge then directed the Sheriff to exe
c cute the judgment of the court. The solemn and
grave looking Deputy Sheriff then proceeded to
wards the group of organ-grinders, when the little
girl, as if discovering his object, drew back, cling.
ing with an expression of the deepest grief and
alarm to the dress of her foster mother.
The Sheriff, however, by the use of a little gentle
force, succeeded in separating them, and taking the
little girl in his arms, delivered her to her natural
mother, who rushed towards the child and encirc
ling her in her arms embraced her delicate little
body with the ardor and devotion of true love, the
child all the while repaying her caresses with her
most vigorous efforts to release herself, screaming
"You are not my Ma—there is my Ma—l won't
go with you."
Alas! the poor child had entirely forgotton her
natural mother. She remembered only the kind •
ness and affection of the organ-grinders, and seemed
inconsolable for her separation from them.
The latter, with expressions of the deepest sor
row and grief, retired from the court, amid the
sympathy and regret of the large crowd, who with
tearful eyes, witnessed the affecting scene, which
we have thus hurriedly related.
We have since learned, that it is the intention of
the mother of the child to place her in an orphan
asylum, where she may be educated free from the
contaminating influences of her mother's life,
and
where she may be visited by both her natural and
foster parents.
THE WIFE
" Feel'st thou so joy, no quiet happiness,
No soothing sense of satisfaction, in '
Loving, and being loved 1 Is there no weight
Removed from the heart, in knowing there is one
To share all, bear all with thee 7 To soothe grie-
Yea, to soften away its human pain
By a superior love, the cup to temper
With words of consolation and sweet hope,
That even its very bitterness shall seem sweet
Forgotten in the love that offers it!"
Dr" The songs of birds, and the life of man, are
both brief, both soul-filled, and both as they end,
leave behind whispers of heaven.—.Terrn Paul.

By P. M. 'D
T haired thee fondly, oh the tale is spoken,
Word; may not picture what the lip might tell,
But oh! thll heart that lived for thee is broken,
And bears the impress that I loved so well.
In rapture I have marked thy image swelling,
From childhood's tender form to woman's mould,
And in the humble precincts of thy dwelling,
Thy heart was warm to all—to me 'twas
I feel thou lovest me not, those chilling glances,
Throw all my hopes in dark despair and gloom;
Anil I perceive, as noiseless time advances,
Thik thou ham plainly measured out my doom.
My soul thy beauty drank to overflowing,
For thee I've sat whole days in pensive thought,
And I its light, so thoughtlessly be,stowing,
Have felt love's bitterness to thee untaught.
How vainly I adored thee, bitter anguish
Leaves many a trace upon the care-worn heart,
And" in its sphere the deathlesS soul must languish,
Till time may bid it act a nobler part. •
Oh, I have woven in any heart thy features,
And worshipped daily at thy heavenly shrine,
ThciA art the model of God's lairest creaturja,
And I for this, must sorrowfully pine.
Perhaps, if thou could•st feel it, it would grieve thee,
For -thy dear heart hatk thoughts and feelings
When I repeat how hopelessly I - love thee, (warm,
To be beloved by some happier form.
I leave thee, with a throe of lingering sorrow,
' No tongue can speak the agony I bear,
And yet this torture may not cease to-morrow,-
For memory hath a mighty foothold there.
But one sweet hope unto my soul is given,'
And by God's holy signet, it is burned -
Upon•my heart, that should we meet In hehven,
Them may the loie I bear thee be returned.
There may my spirit rest, and share thy goodness,
Whore no vain shadow dare cypress my will,
There may I seek (and meet no chafing sadness,)
That privilege so blest, to hive the still.
The Grave of Patrick Henry.
The editor of the Lynchburg Patriot says that on
a recent occasion of deep . and delicate interest to a
friend, he was afforded an opportunity of visiting
the grave of the distinguished Henry, the spot
where lies "all of genius that can perish."
A plank enclosure, a clump of cherry trees, :owl
two white flint rocks, overgrown by running box-,
mark the earth chambers of one of time's most
wonderous works. Onward Still in liquid splendor
flows his own loved Staunton—still upward from
its banks with gentle undulation, swells his beauti
ful "Red Hill"—yet to be- seen, bending to the
breeze, the locusts in whose shade lie sat or walked,
in communion familkr with godlike thoughts—
there is to be seen the chair in which he leaned
when the hand of death was upon him—but the
spirit which will hallow them forever, has gone
and lelt no peer on earth. The bright orb of his
genius has set for ever, but the horizon is still ra
diant with its beams. Though no monument; stone
storied urn marks the spot of the sepulchre, the
trophies of immortal mind are not wanting in his
memory. The burning words with which, as "a
live coal from the altar," he kindled the hearts of
millions, are still syllabled by freedom's votaries
throughout the world. The glorious and beneficent
fruits of that revolution to whirls he gave the first
impulse, constitute the majestic and enduring mon
.ument of his renown.
To old, Charlotte belongs the honor of inuring
the ashes of two'of the most remarkable men and
greatest orators of any age or land. Within a few
hours' ride is the grave of John Randolph. Tradi
tion will preserve some of the particulars of that
memorable character. The sun of Henry was going
down in splendor and glory; that of Randolph was
dawning in the orient, giving promise that the fir
mament of eloquence should lose no light. Like
Chatham and Mirabean, the fame of their eloquence
is traditionary ; the few written speeches that ale
left, furnish no adequate idea of their powers. The
one by his sublime and fervid eloquence, stirred the
heart of a great nation to its inmost depths, and
nerved its ariaM strike for liberty or death; the
other by the exhibition of all that was intense in
thought, dazzling in expression, with irony and
pathos, exercised a mighthy influence upon the
destinies of parties--causing himself to be ‘ felt as
a power in the councils of his countrymen, where
vanquished Senates trembled as they praised. In
life they were kindred in genius—in death they
sleep undivided in distance—in immortality, they
are twin brothers.

Besides these there are several German inven
tions of which we cannot asctertain the date—
such as door latches, - the modern screw augur, and
gimlet, the cradle -for harvesting, &c. Surely a
nation which has made such contributions to the
interests of literature and thearts,.must occupy a
high rank in intellect and ingenuity. Germany
may - truly be called the brain of the world.
Female Society.
You know my opinion of female society. With
out it, we should degenerate into brutes. This ob
servation applies with ten-told force to young men,
and those who are in the prime of manhood. For,
after a certain time of life, the literary man may
make a shift—a poor one, I grant—to be without
the society of ladies. To a young man nothing is
so important as a spirit of devotion—next to his
Creator—to some amiable woman, whose image
may occupy his heart and guard it from the pol
lution which besets it on all sides. A man ought
to choose his wile as Mrs. Primrose did her wed
ding gown, for qualities that "wear well." One
thing at least is true; that if matrimony 116 its
cares, celibacy has no pleasure. A Newton, or a
mere scholar may find employment in study;- men
of literary taste can find in books a powerful aux
iliary; but a man must have a bosom friend and
children around him„ to cherish and support the
dreariness of old age.—John Randolph.
