The Wife for Me.
Horace Hastings was a sober, sensible, enterpri
sing bachelor, of some eight and twenty years,
who having obtained an excellent reputation by his
industry and integrity, and having made himself
useful to the mercantile firm in Boston, with whom
he had served an apprenticeship, was at length in
vited to a partnership in the concern. For some
time he had been encouraged to anticipate this ele
vation, and he soberly and energetically entered
upon the new duties of his position. When busi
ness crowded, he had but little leisure to mourn
over his condition, but when the hurrying season
was over, and hours each day hung heavy on his
hands, he could not help thinking how delightful it
would be, had he but a horse and a gentle wife of
his own. His pecuniary circumstances now war
ranted such luxuries, and he resolved to marry,
when he could find a lady "just suited to his
mind."
Near a country village in Maine, not a thousand
miles from Bangor, lived an old friend of his father,
and being on a collecting tour in that region during
the autumn months, he determined to accept an
oft.repeated invitation to spend a few days with the
old gentleman, and sent a note to announce his
coming.
At the appointed time he reached the residence
of his old friend, and found that the family were
prepared and pleased to welcome him as a guest.—
In the Parlor were two young ladies well dressed
and quite handsome. He was duly introduced to
Misses Jane and Charlotte, and found them accom
plished and sensible young ladies. Being just now
very susceptible to the tender passions, he was ea
sily pleased, and exerted his powers to render him
self agreeable to the flattered maidens. He succeeded
of course. Sensible men of his age and prospects
always do when' they try. And as his eye wan
dered in conversation from one handsome,
gent face to another, he- caught himself several
times mentally inquiring, " Which would make the
better wife?"
The mother and a neat looking maid, were seen
at intervals passing from the kitchen preparing sup
per. The girl who sat out the table and spread the
white stainless cloth, and arranged the plates, seem
ed to do it it so gracefully and quietly, as if she
had made such duties a study as a science, won a
passing glance of admiration as a very neat and
pretty servant—a model of a "help." Altogether,
he thought it was a charming family. When they
sat at the cheerful supper, and he tasted the light,
home made bread, and the sweet fresh butter, and
the thinly sliced home cured beef, the hot flavored
tea, the' excellency and good taste manifested in the
whole ordering, he felicitated himself upon having
found so pleasant a home, even if it was only for a
few days. •And after supper was over, and the ta
ble was cleared, a third young lady, very neatly'
dressed. entered the loom, and was formally intro
duced to him as one of the sisters—Miss Sarah.--
He was not a little surprised to find that the neat
servant girl, whose handy work had won his admi
ration, was one of the sisters. He found her sPright•
ly, cheerful, as accomplished, and he thought a lit
tle more graceful, than Jane, who was the elder, or
Charlotte, who was younger than herself: He
thought a little more meanly of himielf, for having
taken her to be a hired girl in the family, but not
a whit more meanly of her, for having revealed
herself in that capacity. And his perplexity was
somewhat increased as he sat down on his bedside,
in the chamber to which he was shown by his
host, and „said to himself, " which of the three?"
In the morning, after a night's sound sleep, for
he was not sufficiently in love to keep him awake
—he entered the breakfast room—and was soon
wined by the two young ladies, who had first wel
comed him. Sarah was not yet visible, out when
they had seated themselves at the table, and Jane
had poured out the coffee, Sarah came smiling in
behind a clean white apron, and with a steaming
pile of hot buckwheat cakes in her hand, which
from the hue of her cheeks she had just been ba
king. If there was a blush on her cheeks, any eye
might see it was forced there by the fire, and not
by any sense -of degradation on account of the of
fice she so gracefully filled. She greeted the guest s
with a welcome smile, de=posited her load of edi
bles,
and returned to the kitchen whence she trip
ped again in a few minutes, with another plate of
cakes, beautifully baked by her own skill. Horace
ate a:large quantity of them more than merely
enough to satisfy hunger, because of the beautiful
little hands that made them. And then he wander
ed over the farm with the old man. and prated of
horses and cows and crops, as though he knew
something about them as well as about broadcloths
and calicoes. At dinner time Jane and Charlotte
were in the parlor waiting for him, and Sarah as
usual, was bustling about the kitchen. "I do wish,
said he satin yore," that one of those girls would take
Sarah's place in the kitchen a little while, that I
might find out some of some of their housekeeping
- qualities, and that I might have a chat with her. -
But he waited for such a change in vain,though
he found some opportunities of converse, and dis
covered all he wished to know just then about her
mental qualifications and acquirements, and at the
close of the fourth day, just as he got into bed, he
slapped the white counterpane emphatically, and
said to it, as there was nobody in the room, I sup
pose he must have spoken to the counterpane or
bedpost—" She's the wife for me."
The next day was the outer limit of his visit, and
as he stood at the window after breakfast, be saw•
Sarah with the witching white apron, trip into the
orchard to shake down some apples--for it was
baking day and pies were to be made. Horace
strolled out after her, and shook the tree, and helped
her to pick up the apples, and carried the basket
as they returned closely, very slowly to the house.
What it was he whispered in her ear she never
told, but she seemed not displeased, though evident
ly surprised,and a little frightened.
A year after, Horace was at the house of this old
friend again, and this time Sarah was not so much
in the kitchen. There were great preparations for
a wedding going forward, and in a few days Sarah.
became Mrs. Horace Hastifigs, and now in a splen;
did Boston mansion she fully justifies the wisdom
of her dear husband's choice by being to him a
most excellent wife and a superlative house
keeper.
Mn. CLAY'S FAXILL-Of Mr. Clay's domestic
relations the New York Times gives the follow
ing particulars:
Very shortly alter his removal to Kentucky, he
married Lucretia Hart, daughter of Thomas Hart,
Esq., a prominent citizen of Lexington. Another
daughter of the same gentleman was married to
Hon. James Brown, of New Orleans, Minister at
Versailles during the administrations of Messrs.
Monroe and Adams. Mrs. Clay, who is now in her
71st year, and in the enjoyment of robust health,
has been the mother of eleven children, four of
whom died in childhood. Eliza, a young lady of
unusual promise, was very suddenly removed by
death, in 1824, while enroute to Washington with
her father: and almost at the same moment the af
flicted parents received intelligence of the decease
of another most interesting and accomplished
daughter, and wile of Mr. Dubalde, of New Orleans.
A third daughter, upon whom the father's,allec
lions seemed to have centered after the death of
the other two, died in 1835. She was married to
Mr. James Ervine, of New Orleans and her loss
was a blow from which Mr. Clay never recovered.
Of the five eons, the eldest, Theodore Wythe Clay
has been since boyhood, the inmate of a lunatic
asylum, Thomas Hart Clay, born in 1803, re
sides in Kentucky, and is engaged in the manufac
ture of hemp. Henry Clay, Jr., it is hardly neces
sary to say, lost his life at the battle of Buena
Vista, while fighting chivalrously for his country.
James B. Clay and John M. Clay, the youngest,
were both educated for, and we believe, are now
practising the profession of the law in their native
State.
The Man with Many Daughters.
BE ALLEN M. SCOTT, N. A.
It was in the autumn of '35, business called me
away, from the little thriving city of L. R—k,
in which I then resided, and after equipping, my
self with the necessary travelling gear, I sat alone
on horseback, and pursued my journey forfive con
secutive days in a north-western direction, over
hill and dale, glen and glade. The country was
then, (twenty years ago) the Far West; now, no
place this side of that or Oregon, can establish any
claim to that application, then universally given
to Arkansas and Missouri. But to proceed to my
narrative: This country, twenty years ago, was
sparsely settled. Human habitations along, the
route I was exploring were like "angels visits,' that
is, if the reader will consider some 15, 20, or 30
miles as being "far between." And it was altogether
indispensible for the stranger to have a way bill,
and to use some degree of caution, or,he might
chance to meet the "dewy-eve" in a region where
he could find no shelter for man o? beast.
I had been much interested in the country thro'
which I was passing. There were herds of wild
der and countless flocks of wild turkies almost
continually in view. The fourth day in the eve
ning I arrived at the foot of the Ozark mountains,
or rather a spur of that chain, and being informed
by the gentleman whose house stood near the as
cent, that it was fifteen miles across the mountain
to the next house, 1 took quarters for the night, al
though it was not quite night fall.
When the supper was announced, I was invited
to a neat little apartment, where the table was
spread, on which were sundry dishes of venison,
well stewed and savory ; sweet potatoes baked
brown; corn bread, butter, coffee, cheese milk, etc.
Here I was made welcome, and most assuredly did
I give evidence that my attachment to these dis
pensations of providence was by no means feigned
or unreal. During our repast, I, addressing my
landlord, said :
"How far, sir, to C-1"
He replied that it was about forty miles.
The lady who was doing the honors of the table,
inquired of me if I was going to C . I re
plied in the affirmative. She asked me it I would
stop at the house of Mr. P. My response was I
had business with Mr. P., and would probably be
at his house.
"Are you a relative of Mr. P.?" she contin;:ed
I told her that I was not
'Excuse me," said she, "for being inquisitive. I
am a daughter of Mr. P.; and am expecting a
cousin of mine, whom I- have never seen. He re
sides in Virginia; and is looked for hourly. I was
indulging the hope that you, perhaps, were my
cousin."
The next morning , after an early repast, I com
menced the ascent o f the mountain, which was in
deed rugged. I was under the necessity of walk
ing, and it was not without dificulty even then
that I succeeded in inducing my horse to follow
me up craggy rocks, and down craggy precipices.
However, about 1 o'clock, P. M., I had gained
the summit, and came in sight of the first house
on the westward side of the mountain. Here I
asked for refre hments for myself and horse,
and while these were in a state of prepara
tion, I asked, "How far to C--1" The
gentleman g ave me the information sought for;
upOn which I asked him if he knew Mr. P. He
said he knell: , him well.
At this, the lady of the house, with much eager
ness not unmingled With timidity, -b.sked me if I
was not Mr. G., from Virginia. I told her I was
not. She said that she was one of Mr. I's daugh
ters, and was expecting a cousin along frotri Virginia.
After dinner I was again on the road, and pro
ceeding towards C Perhaps the reader
ought to be told that C was not then, nor is it
yet, a town ; it is merely a neighborhood thickly
settled, containing, at the time of which I speak,
several small dry goods establishments, shops, mills,
&c. When within lour or five miles of C-,
I met a gentleman and lady, each riding, a horse,
and, as in duty bound, I inquired how I should find
the way to the house of Mr. P. The gentleman
very politely gave me direction, after which, the
lady ventured to ask me it I was not Mr. G. trom
On learning that I was not she apologized by
saying that she was one of Mr. P's daughters, and
was anxiously awaiting the arrival of Mr. .G., a
cousin of her's.
When almost at Mr. P's., residence, I came up
with two young ladies walking, going the same
direction with myself. I asked them it the house,
then in view was the residence of Mr. P. "Yes
and you are cousin G,' they both exclaimed, advan
cing towards me; which circumstance, youth as
I then was, somewhat embarrassed me. In a few
minutes my horse brought me to Mr. P's gate.—
I called. A lady came to the door.
I inquired for Mr. P. She said he was some
where about the farm—that she had only been I
there a few moments—that she did not reside there;
but she felt certain that father was not gone from
home! I called for accommodations; and entered
the house. Soon thereafter two ladies entered the
room, and one of them asked me if I was not Mr.
G their dear expected cousin. I smiled, and told
them I was not; but they were fully persuaded that
I was indeed Mr. G., nor could I for some time
succeed in removing the impression.
Mr. P., came in a little before dark; and said
that he had been a mile distant to visit a married
daughter of his, who had just returned from Mis
souri, whither she had gone on a visit to a couple
i of sisters, who were living among the lead mines.
1 On inquiry, Mr. P., told me that he had twelve
daughters, all grown, and all living.

"THAT COUNTRY IS THE MUST PROSPEROUS, WHERE LABOR COMMANDS THB GREATEST REWARD"--Buchanan
CITY OF LANCASTER, TUESDAY MORNING; JULY 20, 1852.
Speech of Gen. Frank Pierce,
Upon the Reception of a Sword Presented to him by the
State of New Hampshire.
In 184.8 the legislature of his native State voted
Gen. Pierce a splendid sword, as a token of their
appreciation of his gallant services in the field and
esteem for him as a roan. The sword was pre
sented in behalf of the State by the governor. In
reply to the address of that functionary, Gen.
Pierce, after referring to the fact-that, of the six
hundred and forty men who went with him to
Mexico, less than one hundred and fifty lived to re
turn, said
I accepted this splendid weapon from the people
of New Hampshire with an abiding sense of per
sonal regard which has never seemed to grow cold.
May I not be permitted to say, without reference
to my political associations, that I receive it'as
one among a multitude of evidences, so far as the
men of my own time of life are concerned, of some
thing like a fraternal esteem and confidence which
it has been my highest purpose to merit, and is my
firmest never to lose? In the mean time, I am
not unmindful of another and higher consideration
which actuated the legislature. The sword, though
given' to me, was designed and received as a token
of the estimation in which you hold the services
and sacrifices of the officers and soldiers of the bri
gade which it was my good fortune to command;
and to them I would have the grateful thoughts of
my friends turned to-day—to the noble dead—to
the men who with their life-blood sealed their devo
tion to the rights and honor of the republic—to the
gallant living, who having fulfilled their mission
amid the untried scenes of an eventful campaign
on a foreign soil, are now unobstrusively and use
fully pursuing the avocations of civil life at home.
Your thoughts and purpose in this matter are
not circumscribed by the limits of New Hampshire
or New England. You embrace the 12th and 15th
regiments no less warmly than the 9th. It will
ever be a matter of gratification to me that the
three regiments of my brigade were composed of
men from the extreme South, North, and West of
the Union, because it illustrated, in an hour of trial
and danger, that unity which is our strength. 1 he
question never arose, during the varied scenes of
that summer, on what side of a geographical line
a man was born or reared; he stood upon the field
by your side,
an American officer or an American
soldier, with an American heart—and that was
enough for any of us to know. It was a glorious
brotherhood. The highest hope of patriotism looks
to the permanence and all-pervading power of that
feeling. It is the panoply under which whatever
is dear and precious in our institutions will repose
in security. Over it may the stars and stripes float
forever
A Whig's say so of Gen. Pierce.
The editor of the Ironton, (Ohio) Register (Whig)
having from his earliest boyhood known General
"'mica, undertakes to tell us who he is. He says.
"FRANKLIN PIERCE was born about fifty years ago
in Hillsborough county, New Hampshire, and is
the son of BENZ/311N PIERCE, who was high Sheriff
of that county for many years; Governor of the
State in the years 1827 and 1829, and withal a
Revolutionary soldier. The father was a very
il
literate man, an uuwavering Democrat, and an un
sullied patriot; both lather and son were flaming
Jackson men in the times of Adams and Jackson;
and we believe that FRANKLIN has never been sus
pected of being anything else but the fiercest sort
of a radilfal Democrat. • • " •
" He is an eloquent speaker, a fierce declaimer,
a man of consummate tact and shrewdness—a com
plete wire-puller—a perfect political manager.—
He is earnest in his endeavors—always says can,
never can't—has talents of a high order, yet he does
not come up to the dignity of a statesman. He is,
however, comparatively young, and may possibly
if he reaches the White House, "come out" as a
statesman. His moral character is good, at least
we never heard aught said against it in the county
where he was born and bred, and probably is as
honest as any of the wire-working politicians."
As to the nomination, the Register says. "All
in all, it is a nomination coupled with that of Mr.
KING, for Vice President, in every way calculated
to win.'
Well, all that is saying a good deal for a Whig,
though Gen. PIERCE is much more of a statesman
than the editor of the Register takes him to be. As
to the ticket being one calculated to win, that we
believe is pretty generally conceded on all hands.
•
Seward Jubilee.
We make the following extract from the speech
of the Hon. Mr. GENTRY, a distinguished Whig
member of Congress from Tennessee, delivered in
the House of Representatives, at Washington, on
the 14th of June, 1852 :
"Now, sir, I have read in some old books which
described the usages and customs in the barbarous
and dark ages of the world, that when some unfor
timate subject incurred the displeasure of his king
the order was promptly given to behead him, and
to stick his head upon a pike-staff, and carry it
through the streets. On such occasions, all loyal
subjects were required to fall into the train, to testi
fy to the justice and power of their sovereign. who
had exterminated his enemy, by shouts and huzzas.
Now, if General Scott is nominated at Baltimore,
what a triumph for Seward ! What a shout of
exultation will burst from his lips and from the
lips of all his faithful and hopeful followers! Some
willing mercenaries will be ready,figuratively speak
ing, to raise aloft upon their pike-staffs the heads
of Webster and Fillmore, and all Northern Union
loving Whigs who have stood by them, and bear
them in triumph through the streets amid shouts
and huzzakof their victorious enemies, and we shall
have a grand jubilant, exulting glorification, to
celebrate the occasion. AB a loyal -Whig who
has never proved unfaithful to my party, myself
and my Southern Whig friends will be required to
fall amicably into line, and constitute the rear
guard of Mr. Seward's column, and give him our
voice to swell the jubilant exultation. Well, per
haps I may try. [Laughter.] But my opinion is
that my utmost efforts to shout will resolve itself
into a GROAN OF DESPAIR. I cannot do it.
I will not. Put that down in your note book.
"Well, what will you do?"—"Join the Democratic
party'?" [Laughter.] Ido not think I shall. 1
do not know what I shall do. But I know I will
do what I believe to be my, duty. My impression
is that I shall deem it more consistent with my
pride of character to stand aloof from the contest
-But if I thought one man's vote or ova man's
influence were necessary to cast the vote of Ten
nessee for Pierce and Bing, my voice and my vote
should be given to them unhesitatingly. And any
gentleman who dreams that any Southern State
will cast her vote for General Scott in the next
Presidential election, dreams, in my opinion, a
dream that will never be realized."
Here follows an extract from the exulting,
triumphing.letter of Seward, to the New York
Scott Ratification meeting: •
congratulate the Whigs of New York on their
SAGACITY and patriotism in preferring the worthiest
available citizen, for the 17108 i resporuribk service and
the highest honor of the Republic; on their persevering
f idelity to THEIR OWN SACRED PRINCIPLES or
Faranom arm TOLERATION, as well on their die.
tinguished prudence and magnanimity in the con•
duct of the canvass for nomination, finally on the
auspicious result of their labors,"
Read this extract attentively, it is short, but
there is a world of meaning in . it; and recollect
that the vote of New York was cast against the
Compromise in the Whig Convention.
Now look to the free soil banners, the free soil
"pike staffs." See what trophies are there. The
sacrifice of Fillmore and' Webster was demanded
by the "higher law" advocates, because they had
stood tip for the constitution and its compromises.
And now, the country is required to join "a grand
jubilant exulting glorification to celebrate the occa
sion." This is the• entertainment to which the
country is now ithited.—Hagsrstoum Mail.

The Company was organized but two years since,
upon purely mutual principles, and with no expec

It is, nevertheless true, that its success is unparal

Policies issued, and losses met with and paid, in
the same period, exceed that of any Insurance Com
pany upon record. Its capital increases with its
liabilties, and no part bf this can be applied other
wise than for the benefit of the parties insured by
this Company.

The Newly Invented Wheatland
Seed Planter,
HIGHLY IMPORTANT TO AGRICTJLTU
RALISTS.
r II F. undersigned would now publish to the whole
j_ country, that they are at present manufactu
ring at WHEATLAND MILLS, in West Lampe
ter township, near Strasburg, Lancaster county,
Pa., the simplest and most substantial Seed Plan
ters, eves offered to American Farmers.
This Seed Planter sows the grain with perfect
regularity, and does not break the grain. It has
such decided advantages in simplicity, that we
guarantee its thorough usefulness. Its construction
and oporation are such as to be managed and op 7
crated by the Farmers in the easiest possible man
mer.
The machinery is so simple, that the Farmer has
no difficulty in keeping it in perfect order, and the
grain is seen falling into the funnels and tubes un
derneath—all the while free from choking.
. . . . .
The price of the "WHEATLAND SEED PLAN
TER," is scarcely more than one half that of oth
ers now offered for sale.

RECOMMENDATIONS.
We the undersigned citizens of Lancaster county,
and practical Farmers, do hereby certify, that we
have used the Grain Drill, called the "WHEAvt.Arrn
SEED PLANTER," invented by David Eberly, of
Wheatland, West Lampeter, Lancaster county, and
do not hesitate to say that it in in every respect the
simplest Seed Planter in construction and opera
tion, that we have ever seen or used. It sows the
grain with perfect regularity; neither does it break
the grain, while it has decided advantages as for
simplicity, which we cheerfully recommend to oth
ers. The grain can be distinctly seen falling into
funnels or tubes underneath, and being free from
choking the machine can be managed or used by the
most inexperienced without any difficulty. It is
also easy on the horses.

Dr. J. addresses all those' who have injured
themselves by private and improper indulgencies,
that secret and solitary habits, which both
body and mind, unfitting them for either business
or society.
These are some of the sad and melancholy ef

Dimness ,of Sight, Loss of Muscular Power, Pal.
pitation of the Heart,-Dyspepsis, Nervous Irrita

an ignorance of the dangers to which they subject
themselves.. , Parents and Guardians are often mis

in their sons and wards. Alas! how often do they
ascribe to other causes the wasting of the frame,
Palpitation of the Elea Dysp epsia, Indigestion,
Derangement of the Nervous System, Cough and
Symptoms of Consumption, also those serious
Menial effects, such as loss of Memory, Depres

MARRIAGE,
should reflect that a sound mind and body are the
most necessary requisites to promote connubial

hourly darkens to the view •, the mind becomes
shadowed with despair, and filled with the melan
