MILDLY JUDGE YE OF EACH OTHER.
Mildly judge ye of each other,
Be to condemnation slow;
The very best may have their failings,
Something good the worst can show.
The brilliant sun has spots of darkness
On his radiant front they say;
And the clock that never goeth
Speaks correctly twice a day.
Do not mock your neighbor’s weakness,
When his random whims you see,
For perhaps he something like it
Every day beholds in thee.
Folly leavens all our natures ;
Soundest metal hath its flaws;
And the rigid stoic scoroer
Is no wiser for his saws.
Every mortal hath its hobby;
It may foolish seem to you,
But, remember 1 bright or simple,
You have got your hobby too.
Let a fellow feeling warm you,
When you criticise your friend;
Honor virtue in his actions,
In yourself his vioes mend.
Think not those whom mortals honor
Are the best the earth affords;
For no tongue of praiße doth blazon
Forth the deeds which God rewards.
There are fish behind in ocean,
Good as ever from it oame,
And there are men unknown as noble
As the laurel’d heirs of fame.
Mildly judge then of each other,
Be to condemnation slow;
For the wisest have their failings,
Something good the worst oan show.
The sun himself hath spots of darkness
On his radiant brow they say;
And the clock that never goeth
Speaks correctly twice a day.
For the-Intelligencer.
MAY
Weloome bright May, in beauty drest 1
A stranger, mild and blushing, thou; —
Hearts, with sadness long oppressed,
Are filled with light and gladness now!
Earth brings a carpet, bright and green,
An off’ring for thine airy tread;
And flowers, to kiss thy cheek, are seen
Spring from every mossy bed !
Fragant the air with scent of flowers,
In zephyrs Boft thy presence woos;
■"And birds with deep, melodious powers
Warble, all day, the joyful nows!
The streamlet, as it glides along,
A silvery welcome sings to thee, —
Telling its joy, in gushing song,
From ice-linked fetters to be free.
We revel in thy brightsome smile
As in some being’s, whom we love;
Yet, trust it hides no lurking guile,
As those of maidens sometimes prove.
But, should’et thou feel disposed to play
Coquette, sweet May, why very soon
We’ll turn, from thy warm smile, away,
And greet thy sister, lovely June!

FROM. MB. EZEKIEL BENTON TO MB. ABBA-
HAM FITCH.
Smithville, N. H., March 22, 1859,
Mr Dear Abe :—Since I last writ, I’ve
been a puttin’ a climax on my life, by git
tin’ married. Now, you needn’t hoist your
eyebrows and whissel—’oause it’s all over.
Wien I look back and kinder think of it
coolly, I lay it all to my going into the
quire. Ned and Bill Sims, and Joe Pres
ton, and half a dozen of ’em, had been at
me more nor a month, wantin’ me to
come up and help ’em in the base, but I
fought shy, tellin’ ’em I never could sing
in meetin’; but the truth was, I know’d
I’d feel plaguy queer up among all them
gals, for female ’ciety always did take the
starch out of me wondrous; and aunt
Barbara, you remember, used to say that
I was the awkardest feller among the
young women that she ever did see.—
Well, they pestered me so about going,’
that what did I do at last but go. I’d
rather had a double tooth out twice over,
but then I was ashamed to Bay ‘ no ’ any
more. So, on the next Sunday mornin’
after I promised ’em, I dressed somethin’
smarter than ordinary, and scented my
handkerchief with peppermint, and when I
got to the church had half a mind to give
it up: but juss then Bill Sims oome up and
dapped me on the back, and sez he, 1 Come
Zeke, we’re going to have a prelude this
mornin’. We must turn out strong on
that; and so I had nothin’ else to do but
just to go along up. Somehow or ’nother
we went up the gal’s side, and when I got
to the top of the stairs, there, sure enough,
was the hull of ’em, and hearin’ my new
creaky boot, what did they all do but turn
clean around and look straight at me. I
tell you, I felt streaked, and my head be
gun to go round as if I’d been a drinkin’.
I oouldn’t ’xactly see which way to go,
but I tried somehow to git over where the
fellers was; when the fust thing I know’d
I miss’d the step, and went sprawling
head foremust, and would have been down
in the middle aisle, if it hadn’t been for
the front of the gallery. I got up as
qniok as I could, but my pantaloons was
all dust, my, ooat was tom up the.baok,
and the galsiwas a smokering as if they’d
bust. This made me kinder desperate ;
so I sat down and began to look at a music
book awful hard, just as if nothin’ had
happened. But I didn’t sing a note that
mornin’, and never was so glad as when
meetin’ was over. When the folks began
to go out, I hung back a little, so as to get
away unbeknown; but the rest of them
in the quire seemed to be awaitin’ for
something, I had to push ahead, when I’ll
be bound if there was one of them gals
there was a dozen that sez, so provokin’,
‘ Why, Mr. Benton, your ooat is all tom,’
juss as if I didn’t know that. I didn’t
say nothin’ back, but hurried out, and
slipped round under the shed till the folks
was gone. Well, Abe, it was three Sun
days after that ’fore I went inte the quire
agen; for, by that time, I guessed it had
all blown over, and Joe and the rest of
’em-, were at me all the while. That time
T tnk partiokler pains to be on hand as
soon-as the phuroh doors were open, .and
j an&get in the quire -seats fust, so I tnk
the gals, yon see, one at a time, and not
all in a mess like before. Well, I got
along fast rate that day, and begnn after
a few weeks to get need to it, when some
thing new tnrned up. One Sunday even
ing I had taken my place at the end of
the seat towards the gals ; and juss aoross
the little aisle at the end of the gals’ seat
towards ns sat Hetty Burroughs. Now
you recollect Hetty—yon know you can’t
skeer up many prettier faces than she’s
got any way. Well, that day her ribbon
fixina set her off astonishen’. We were
short of music books, and so, when we
was standin’ up to sing the fuat hymn,
Hetty sez to me, sez she, ‘ Mister Benton,
will you look over me V I kinderstarted,
bnt tuk hold. Well, when I begnn to
sing. I fonnd that my voice was a little
flustioated, and that made Hetty Ink
straight at me, and then I was fluatioated
wnss, and then I looked at her, and then
she got to' shakin’, and down went the
book dead over the front. ‘ Keohunk’ it
went, and made everybody jump. When
Hetty saw the book fall, she oame nigh
fainting, and grabbed my arm—not a
purpose, yon know, but kinder accidental.
Well Abe, it was that what did it. For
you see, when meetin’ was over, Hetty sez
to me, as we was going out, sez she ‘ Mr.
Benton, 1 was so confused 1 didn’t know
what I was about. I beg your pardon for
taking hold of your arm.’ ‘ Lor, ma’am,’
sez 1, ‘ why 1 liked it.’ And then Hetty
blushed, and didn’t say nothin’. And
then sez 1, ‘ I only wish you’d just take
hold of my arm, and let me see you home.’
Well, do you believe it, there was Hetty
and me a walking home that evening, arm
in arm. When I left her, and got to our
house, I sei down, and it, was for all the
world, like a dream. I set up all night
rubbiDg my eyes, and a thinking, and then
I’d guess it wasn’t me bat some other
feller. Well, the folks in the house didn’t
know what to make of me ; for I went on
mighty ourious, and not as I used to. I
was considerable ’stracted and couldn’t
eatnuthin’, and I broke a tumbler, a meat
dish, and two cups all in one day. As
this was being rather expensive, the folks
couldn’t stand it any better nor me.
Next day, alter our walk home, I went
to see Hetty, thinkin’ I’d have a glorious
time; but when I got to the house I set
like a mummy, and oould’t get up steam
to say nuthin’ nice. You see'there was
nothing there like a music-book to start
us. Well, I see Hetty off and on for a
fortnight longer, and all the town got a
talkin’ how I was sparking Hetty Bur
roughs, and then I made up my mind that
what was to be was to be, and so 1 calcu
lated on (uakin’ the thing sartin as soon as
possible. I seed that Hetty wasn’t vexed
at niy stoppin’ in so often; and when a
gal ain’t vexed at you in suoh circumstan
ces, you may be sure she’s rather taken
with you. That’s my flosophy—you may
want to use it sometimes, Abe. So one
evenin’ as I was a •sittin’ by Hetty, and
had worked myself up to the stioking pint,
sez I, ‘ Hetty, if a feller should ask you
to marry him, what wud you say f Then
she laughed, and sez she, ‘That would
depend on who asked me.’—Then sez I,
‘ Suppose it was Ned Willis.’ Sez she, ‘l’d
tell Ned Willis, bnt not you.’ That
kinder staggered me. But I was too oute
to loose the opportunity, and so I sez agen,
‘Suppose it was meV And then you
ought to have seen her pout up her lip,
and sez she, ‘ I don’t take no supposes.’
Well, now, you see there was nothing for
me to do bnt touch the gun off. So bang
it went. Sez I. ‘ Lor, Hetty,Ait’s me.
Won’t you say yes V And then there was
such a hullaballoo in my head, 1 don’t
know exactly what tukplaoe, but I thought
I heered a yes whisperin’ somewhere out
of the skirmish.
Anyhow, after that, Hetty and me. was
engaged, and six months after we ““were
married. The day we was married we
went off in the afternoon oars for Boston.
When we got to Brattleboro’, Hetty
asked me to get her a glass of lemonade.
Well, while I was in for the lemonade, ofl
started the cars, and when I got out, with
the lemonade in my hand, there they was,
a hundred yards ahead start. Lor ! didn’t
I holler ! ‘My wife ! My wife !’ I yelled
like a Injun, and run like a Injun too. —
Away went the oars, and I follor’d,
soreamin’, and Mowin’, and holding the
lemonade all the time. Then I threw away
the glass; then I let my overcoat go;
then my hat blew off; and then I fell down,
blowed out, by the side of the track. The
first that roused me up was Hetty’s voioe :
‘ Zekel, 0 my Zekel! are you dead V
You see, Hetty, seein’ the oars was startin’
and I wasn’t hack with the lemonade, got
out herself on the other side, and let the
oars go without her, and so I had been a
chasin’ the oars, and Hetty had been a
chasin me. But, no matter, we’re all
happy agen, and I remain yours,
Ezekiel Benton.
Bishop Doane on the Fair Sen.
In his excellent address to the gradu
ating olass of St. Mary’s Hall, at Burling
ton, a few months since, Bishop Doane,
now deceased, after a characteristically
poetic exordium, and a brief allusion to
the commencement of their worldly career,
spoke as follows :
‘ The times are out of joint.’ Corrup
tion stalks in our high places. Licentious
ness has well-nigh lost its shame.—
Infidelity is bold and brazen-faoed.. The
wave of barbarism is rolling back upon us.
For these things your sex is greatly
answerable. Women are not true to
themselves. They wink at vice. They
make a compromise with worldliuess.
They tolerate irreligion. And they are
the victims of their own unfaithfulness.
The stronger sex look up in best things to
the weaker. They have all had mothers.
They have all had sisters. They own
them in the sex to which they owe them.
And if women were but true to God, true
to their position, true to themselves, they
would have strength from Him to hold the
world in check. No woman ever fell but
by her own consent. Ab at the first,
woman is the tempter. There is no man
that has not passed into a brute, to do as
tigers do, that can resist the matohless
majesty of a resolved woman. And
stronger than all law, stronger than any
thing but God, when it is strong in His
strength, would be the power of woman to
put down rudeness, and lay the bridle
upon license. But the age is self-indul
gent ; and self-indulgence grows by what
it feeds-on.
Women are -oconpied by fashion.—
Women hre slaves to dress. Women are

willing to be flattered. W omen are
careless of their companionship. • Women
are unscrupulous in their amusements. —
Young, women set up for themselves. They
look upon their parents as old-fashioned.
They are impatient of domestic restraints.
They are averse to domestic ocenpations.
They vote their homes a bore. They
congregate-away from its control. They
indulge in unseasonable hours to meet the
other sex more than half way. They
make themselves debtors for their escorts
to places of resort. They permit the
approaches of familiarity. - They tempt
the hidden devil of- their nature. They
forget their Bibles. They negleot their
Prayer Books; They are women of fashion. -
They are women of the world. What else
they are is rather shaped by opportunity
than by themselves. .In ; this way, home
is stripped of-its sanctity. In this way,
the female atmosphere loses its freshness
and its fragrance. ' The woman is no
longer what she was made to be— ‘ a help
meet ’ for the man. And man oeases to
be what God designed him for—her part
ner, her prop, and her protector.
From the Reading Gazette.
Airoxo-a&xozr.
Mr. Editor :— I noticed in last week’s
Gazette a query as to the origin of the
word which I shall answer
in as brief a manner as possible.
After holding possession of Britain
nearly five huAred years from the tune
Caesar landed on its shores, the Romans,
pressed by enemies from without, and torn
by intestine divisions, found themselves
obliged to retire from the island. The
Britons, thus left to enjoy their liberty,
found themselves unfitted by their, long
subjugation to the Romans to defend
themselves against the Piets and the Soots,
who poured in upon them from the north
ern part of the bland. Being thus hard
pressed, Vortigern, the most powerful of
the British Kings, in A. D. 449, invited
Hengist and Horsa, with their followers to
fight his battles.
(t Then sad relief, from the bleak coast that hears
The German Ooean roar, deep booming, strong,
Andyellow-haired, the bine-eyed Saxon came.”
Saxon, a term derived from a short,
orooked sword, oalled Seax, carried under
their loose garments by the warriors of the
nation, was a general term given to the
adventurers led by those ohieftains, though
they belonged to three tribes, namely the
Angles, the Saxons, and the Jutes. These
belonged to the Gothio raoe, whioh compo
sed the second great stream issuing from
Asia, and spreading itself over the north
ern and western part of Europe. The
branch to whioh they belonged was the
Teutonic or Gormanio, which occupied the
part of Europe now ocoupied by the Ger
mans, and by the southern part of the
Danish nation.
The Saxons were a fierce race of pirates,
(and not fishermen, as the gentleman from
Bethel seems to style them) reckless of
life, who traversed the German Ocean in
osier boats, oovered with skins sewed to
gether, in pursuit of plunder, and not of
fame. Their persons were of the largest
size, their eyes blue, their complexion fair,
and their hair almost uniformly of a light
color. Though the love of gain was their
ruling passion, still they sometimes showed
a high regard for honor, and a pride of
mind that could not endure disgrace.—
Twenty-nine Saxons strangled themselves,
to avoid being brought into a theatre for
a gladiatorial show. Their arms were long
lanoes, short, orooked swords or knives,
called Saxes, with small shields, suspended
by chains, and long iron sledge-hammers.
They were a race of idolaters, who sacrifi
ced to their favorite idols the oaptives
they took in battle, and the oowardly of
their own army. The abstract name of
the Deity was God. But there were other
principal deities of the Northmen. Odin,
whom they called the All-Father ; Frey a,
his wife; and their son Thor. Of these,
the Anglo-Saxons, like the Danes, paid the
highest honor to Odin; the Norwegians
and Icelanders to Thor ; and the Swedes
to Freya. Alphabetical oharaoters were
used by the Gothio nations on the Baltio
before they received Christianity, and the
origin of them is ascribed to Odin. As
the profession of arms was generally as
pired to by the youth of the Teutonio race,
their education from the first had a bear
ing upon their Bucoess in that profession.
Aristotle says that the “ Germans used
to take their new-born ohildren and dive
with them into rivers, as well to make a
trial of their strength as to accustom them
to hardness ; and that they laid their ohild
ren among their armor in oamp, it being
sport to the infants to see the glittering of
the armor. They taught their little boys
to manage the pike, having small javelins
made for the purpose.” Thus qualified to
fight the battles of the Britons against
their enemies, the Piets and Soots, they
came, few in number, at first, as mercen
aries into the army of Vortigem, until,
their numbers increasing, they turned their
arms against the very nation they oame to
protect. Afterwards Ella and Cerdio oame
with the Saxons proper, then Ida with the
Angles. To these, for many years, the
Britons offered a brave but a vain resist
ance, under three Kings ; under Elrian,
Owen, and Prince Arthur, with his knights
of the round table, celebrated by the Brit
ish bards.
To escape from the exterminating sword
of their enemies, the natives, as soon as
they saw that resistance was fruitless, fled
to the hills and forests. Multitudes found
a secure asylum among the mountains
whioh cover the west part of the island.—
Others, under the oonduct of their priests
and chieftains, abandoned, it is supposed,
their native oountry altogether, and, cross
ing the ocean, seized the desolate lands on
the western extremity of the Armorica,
subdued the neighboring cities, and gave
the traot the appellation of fhe parent
country. It is still known by the name of
Bretagne. But the work of devastation
was at last checked by views of personal
interest. The Britons were at last spared,
because their labor was found necessary
to the cultivation of the soil. Without
distinction of rank, or sex, or profession,
they were divided, together with the land,
among the conquerors. Being thus diffu
sed among the Angb-Saxons, they intro
duced the Celtio element into the body of
the English language. The Jutes, in A.
D. 449, came from Jutland, in Denmark,
and oconpied small possessions in Kent
and the Isle of Wight. The Saxons oame
from a wide-spread territory south of Den
mark. The South Saxons established
themselves in Sussex, A. D. 491; the
W est Saxons/in Hampshire, 519; the East
Saxons, in Essex, 527. The Angles came
from Anglen, in Sleswiek, in the south
part of -Denmark, and established! them
selves in-Eaat-Anglia, in Norfolk, in 527 ;
in Berniioa in Northumberland, in Deira
in Yorkshire, 559.
"There were one Jute, three Saxon, and
four Angle, in all eight Kingdoms, though
they went by the name of the Saxon Hept
arohy. The Angles verynaturally denom
inated that part of the oonntry they
inhabited Angleland,‘ or the landj of the
Angles, which was afterward contracted
to England. It is a remarkable fact, that
the Englbh of the present day are called
by the Britons in Wales, and by the
Highlanders in Scotland, in Cambrian and
Gaelic, not Angles or Englbh, hat Saxons.
After She entire subjugation of the Britons,
the West Saxons grew in influence and
territory until A. D. 827, when Egbert,
King of Wessex, defeated and! made
tributary all the other Saxon Kings’; The
most dmtingnbhed of the West 1 Saxon
Kings was Alfred, who, to remarkable
prowess in war, united a taste for letters.
He not only drew learned men from other
parts of Europe into England, bnt by his
own literary efforts, especially in translat
ing Bede’s Hbtory, and Bcethius on the
Consolation# of Philosophy, and Orosins’B
Hbtory of the World, he gave sd mnoh
prominence to the West Saxon language
as to oonstitnte it the ooltivated language
of the Anglo-Saxons.
Thus we oan understand how it is that
the Anglo-Saxon enters so largely into
the Englbh; that it is less an element
than it is the mother-tongne, npon whioh
a few words have been' engrafted, from
other languages. INCOG.
Quick Work. —An exchange relates
the story of a judge who was recently
oalled upon by a very reßpeotable man,
Mr. E., to unite him in marriage to a Miss
. He performed the ceremony in
a most oapital manner, and to the satb
faction of all parties interested. Daring
the evening, while all was going on in a
merry style, the bridegroom drank the
health of the Judge and pledged him that
his first born son should be hb name sake.
This, the Judge told him he should con
sider highly complimentary, and thanked
him much for it. The sequel proved that
before the day dawned again the bride
was delivered of a fine healthy boy, weigh
ing some ten or twelve pounds. Of course,
it was not many hours before the members
of the bar got wind of the matter, and
the Judge was driven almost to madness
by their congratulations in so soon having
a name-sake. The Judge’s Court being
in session, Mr. E. immediately applied for
a divorce, which he, in hb mercy, granted
instanter.

PHIL A D ELPHI A .
A BeneVoleut Institution established by special Endow
ment, for the relief of the Sick and Distressed, afflicted
with Virulent and Epidemic Diseases.
THE HOWARD ASSOCIATION, in view.of the awful
destruction of human life caused by Sexual diseases, ano
the deceptions practiced upon the unfortuuate victims of
such diseases by Quacks, several years ago directed their
Consulting Surgeon, as a CHARITABLE ACT worthy of
their names, to open a Dispensary for the treatment of this
class of diseases, in all their forms, and to give MEDICAL
ADVICE GRATIS to all who apply by letter, with a descrip
tion of their condition, (age, occupation, habits of life, Ac.)
and in case of extreme poverty, to FURNISH MEDIOINEB
FREE OF CHARGE. It is needless to addthat the Associ
ation commands the highest Medical skill of the age, and
will furnish the most approved modem treatment.
The Directors of the Association, in their Annual Report
upon the treatment of Sexual Diseases,.express the highest
satisfaction with the success which has'attended the labors
of their Surgeons in the cure of Spermatorrhoea, Seminal
Weakness, Gonorrhoea, Gleet, Syphilis, the vice of Onanism
or Self Abuse, Diseases of the Kidneys and Bladder, Ac.,
and order a continuance of the same plan for the ensiling
year.
Tbe Directors, on a review of the part, feel assured that
their labors iu this sphere of benevolent efforts have been
of great benefit to the afflicted, especially to the young, and
they have resolved to devote themselves, with renewed
zeal, to this Very important and much despised cause.
An admirable Report on Spermatorrhoea, or Seminal
Weakness, the vice of Onanism, Masturbation, or Self-
Abnse, and other diseases of the Sexual organs, by the Con
salting Surgeon, will be sent by niail (in a sealed envelope)
FREE OF CHARGE, on receipt of TWO BTAMPS for post
age.* Other Reports and Tracts on the nature and treat
ment of Sexual diseases, diet, Ac., are constantly being
published for gratuitous distribution, and will be sent to
the afflicted. Some of tbe new remedies and methods of
treatment discovered during the last year, are of great
value.

PATENT AAIBROTYPES."The sub
scribers haviug purchased the exclusive right of Lan
caster city, are enabled to offer to the public a new style of
Pictures, far exceeding, in beauty and durability, any ever
before made. These pictures are not reversed, as daguerreo
types areaud may be seen in anylight. They also possess the
rare property of being imperishable; being hermetically
sealed between glass plates, which is secured by Letters
Patent, in the United States, Great Britain and France,
and practised in Lancaster city by T. <£ W. C UMMING&
only, over Sprecher A Bro.’s New Store, North Queen st.,
Lancaster.
EXPLANATION.
The term AM BROTYPE, by which these Pictures are
designated; is derived from the Greek word Ambrotos, sig
nifying indestructibility, permanency, Ac. The Picture is
taken upon plate glass, to which another plate of corres
ponding size is secured with an indestructible cement, by
by which the picture will retain its original brilliancy
for ages; H will not corrode by acids, nor be injured by
water or climate. It is bold in its effect, beautiful In tone,
surpasses any thing in the gradations of light and shade,
and may be seen in any light. The public are cautioned
against imitations made on single plates of glass, with the
black varnish in immediate contact with the Picture.—
Such are not permanent, as the varnish must crack and
destroy the Picture.
. AMBROTYPE STERESCOPES MUST BE SEEN,
to be appreciated—the relief being* fully as perfect as life.
Citizens and Strangers are invited to call at theAmbro
type Gallery of the undersigned, and examine specimens
before they procure Pictures elsewhere, as they are
insured of polite attention,

doing tboir own work, and having purchased their fixtures
at very low prlcos, in consequence of which their expenses
will be less than any other establishment of the kind here,
they can make Castings and finish them at more reason

STORE.
To my Friends and the Public generaly: In addressing
you from my new place of business (next door to Brene
man’e Shoe Store,) I sleze the occasion to thank you for the
encouragement you have given me since I
started at my old stand. I can safely say
that never had a young beginner mote
cheering encouragement to continue in the
business he commenced. 1 therefore thank
you for your kind wishes and for your more substantial
aid, and at the same time may be permitted to express tbe
hope of continuing to merit both, by my future efforts to
please. I now pay a larger rent, 1 but have a lArger and
more convenient store, and depend upon the increase of
business to reward my efforts and increased expense. I
have just received a fresh invoice of the publications of
HARPER A BROTHERS,
including many of their latest editions and publications,
to which I invite your attention,as lam able to sell them
at something less than the regular prices. ■*

leading MAGAZINES and NEWSPAPERS AT LEBS THAN

to furnish them at the lowest rates and at the earliest
moment.

Never have Books sold cheaper than at the recent Philadel

self of tbe opportunity to purchase a large stock of the

their great advantage to call and examine the

Is, as it always was, to supply the wants of the AHv
community with anything in my line, on
mo6t reasonable terms possible. This we find
the better and most advantageous course for all parties.—
The Political Econamist tells ns “the cheaper'enarticlels,
the more universally it can and will be used.” Then (he
conclusion is, that when we buy cheap, we must sell cheip,
simply allowing ourselves a reasonable profit.
