SUNDAY Evrtirsto.—English Courier in : left on
the 29th. All quiet at the Capitol—A train coming
dower. In haste, yours, S.
SEARCU roa WIT Eft—Where do men usually dis
cover the 'women whO afterward become their
wives ? is a question we have occasionally heard
discui - sed ; and the result invariably come to, is
worth mentioning' to our young-lady readers..—
Chance bes much to do in the affair; bnt then there
are important governing circumstances. It is cer
tain kor men make a selection from ball-rooms, or
any other place of mblic gaiety ; and nearly as few
are influenced by what may be called showing off
in the streets, or by any allnTments of dress,'. Qur
conviction is, that ninety-nine-hundredths of all the
finery with which women decorate, or load their
persons, go for nothin , ', as far as husband4miching
is concerned. Where and how, then, do men find
their , wives I In the quiet homes of their parents or
guardians—at the fireside, Where the domestic grace
and feelings are alone demonstrated. - Them are
the charms which most surely attract the high as
well as the humble. Against these; all the finery
, and airs in the world sink into insignificance. We
shall illustrate this by an anecdote, Wtich, though not
new, will not be the worse for be 4 again told: In
the year 1773, Peter Barrel, Esq.,sof Beckenham,
in Kent, whose health was rapidly declining, was
advised by.his physician to go to Spa forthe rev
-ery of his health.
His daughters feared that those who had only
motives entirely mercenary would not pay kim
that attention which he , might expect from those:
who, from duty and Reaction united, would feel the
greatest pleasure in ministering to his ease and com
fort they therefore resolved to accompany him.
They proted that it was not a spirit of dissipation
and gaiety that led them to Spa, for, they were not
to be seen in any of the gay and fashionable cir
cles : they were never out of their father's compa
ny, and never stirred from home except to attend
him, either to take the air, or drink the waters : in
a word, they lived meet recluse life ih the midst of
a town then' the resort of the most illustrious and
fashionable personages of Europe. This exempla
ry ,anen6on to their father procured these three
.amiable sisters the admiration of all the English at
Spa, acid was the cause of their elevation to that
rank in lite to which their merits gave them so just
a title. They aIE were married to nobleman—one
to the Earl of 13eiredy, another to the Duke of Ham
'ilton, and afterward to the Marquis of Exeter, and a
third to the Doke of Northumberland. And' it is
- logics to them' say-that theig'reflected honor On
rather th erived any frrn it.
Leonora' or Tax PuLerr.—Said a
Presbyterian minister of some notoriety, "I never
laughed in the pulpit only on one occasion, and
that• came near 4wocuring, soy dismissal from the
ministry. At onto( the tiorittiscounses 1 was cal

The boy held iii* krefieger in the red haii of the
young man, *bruit as king as a r biacksmith would a
rail rod in the fire lo heat, andl then, on his knee,
commenced pounding his finger, in imitation of a

ludicrous that I laughed; the only time that I ever
disgraced the pulpit with anything like mirth."
Mincoay OlkA Mcrrnza.-t-John Randolph, some
years Since, utiblreSsed himself - Wan-intimate friend

lreasu•t Peru.
The government of Peru was a despotism, - mild
in its c.haracter, but in its form a pure and utimiti
gatedidespotism. The sovereign was placed at an
immeasurablolistance above his subjects. Even
the proudest ;of the Inca' nobility, dinning a de
scent frpm the acme 'divine eriginal u himself,
coold dot vs Lure into the royal presence, ideas
birefooted,and bearings light burden on his shod
dere in toke 4 of homage. As the representative of
the Su, be itood at the head of the priesthood, and
presided at most important of the religious fes
tivals. He t armies, and usually took the
command o them in person . He imposed taxes,
made laws, provided for their execution by the
appointmet)fludges, whom he removed evoke
sure. He , the source from which every thing
flowed—an !dignity, all power, all emolument,—
He was, in Ow, in the well known phrase of the
European dOpol, '! himself the stale."
The Inca asserted his claims as a superior being
by assuming a pomp in his manner pf living well
calculated t impose on his people. His dress was
of the fined wool of the viscera, richly dyed .and
ornamented with`a profusion of gold end precious
stones. Romd his head was a turban iof many-co
lored tilde, called *the Haute ; and a tt j
fringe, like( that worn by the prince, but" of mar
l& color, with two - feathers of a rale 'and curiOe's
bird, called the eonupsenque, placed, upright in it,
were the "dietinguishing insignia of royalty. The
birds from; Which these feathers were obitined were
found in ar , derieit country.amoog the mountains;
and it . wa dealith to destroy or tike them, as they
were meitved-for the exclusive purpose of solifoly
fiead-gear. Every succeeding mon
archives provided with anew pair of these plumes,
and hiscredidous subjects fondly believed that on
ly two individuals of the species had ever existed
to furnish the simple ornament for the diadem of
the Incati.
Although the Peruvian monarch was raised -so
far above the highest of his subjects, he condescen
ded to mingle occasionally With them, and took
great pains personally to inspect the condition of
the humbler classes. He presided at some of the
reliAione . ,celebratiorus, and on these occasions en
te4ainearthe great nobles at his table, when he
coiuplisiented them after the fashion of more civi-
Hied stations, by drinking the health of those
whom be delighted to honor.
But the moat effectual means taken by the Incas
for cornlnunicating with their people lweie their
pimp*** through the empire. Thni were con
ducted,lat intervals of years, with great state and
magnificence. The sedan, or litter in which they
travelled, richly-emblazoned with gold and emer
alds, Was guarded by a numerous escort. The
men who bore it on their shoulders were-provided
by twocities, specially appointed for the purpose.
It was a pas to be coveted by no one, 14 as is as
serted, a fall was punished with death. They tra
velled with ease and 'expedition, halting at the
tainbosior inns erected by government along the
route, iand occasionally it the -royal palace, which
in the great towns afforded ample accommodations
to the Whole of the monarch's retinue. The noble
roads which traversed'the table land were lined
with people who swept away the -atones and stub
ble from their surface, strewing them with sweet
scented flowers, and vying with each other in car
rying *wand the baggage from one village to an
other.: The monarch halted from time to time to
(listen to the grievances of his subjects; or to settle
some' points which had been referred to his deci
sion by the regular oil:malls. As the princely train
wound its way along the mountain passes, every
place; was thronged with spectators eager to catch
a glitapse of their sovereign ; and, when be raised
the *win of his litter, and showed himself to their
eyes; the air was rent with aeclamationi as they
invoked blessings on his head. Ttadition long
comremotated the spot at which he halted, and
the Ample people of the country held them in re
verence as places consecrated by the presence of an
Inca.
The royal palaces were on a magnificent scale,
and, km from being confined to the capital or afew
princhxd towns, were scattered over all the provin
ces of their vast empire. The buildings were low,
bat cOveved'over a wide extent of ground ; some of
the apartments were spacious, but they were gen ;
orally mill; and had no communication with one
another, except that .filey opened into a common
square or court. The walla were made of blocks
of stone of various sizes,like those described in the
fortress of Cusco, rough hewn but carefully wrough,
near the lineal junction, which was scarcely visi
ble to the eye. The roofs were of wood radon,
which have perished under
,the rude touch of time,
&atlas shown more respect for the walls of the
edifice. The whole seems to have been character.
'iced by solidity and strength rather than by any at
tempt at architectural elegance.
in tuwhatever of elegafice there may have been
t: exterior, of imperial dwellings, it was amply
compensated by the interior, id which all the opu
lence of die. Peruvian princes wall agantaciously
displayed. The sides of the apartniecits were thick..
ly *sided with gold and silver ornaments. Nich
es, prepared in the walla, were filled with images
of animals and plants =imply wrought of - the same
costly materials; and even much of - the domestic
furniture, including the utensils devoted to the most
ordinary menial services, displayed the like wan
ton magnificence ! •
With Anise gorgeous decorations *ere mingled

the Peruvian woed, which were of so; beautiful a

luxuries of Europe and *is at their command, did

" DON'T CO NEAR THE DZDGE.....-There is a story,
in the Menagiana, of a woman who was twice
buried, as it were, and was recovered without the
use of physic: but her husband was not very well
pleased with it. .
The dory is , as follows In a village of Poiton,
a woman was sick of a very dangerous distemper,
and at last felt into a lethargy ; so that het husband,
and those who were about her, thought her dead.
They wrapped her up only with a linen cloth, ac
cording - to the custom of the poor people in that
country, and earned her out to be buried. As they
were going to the chinch, the men who carried her
walked so near a hedge, that the thorns pricked
her and she was awakened from her lethargy.
fourteen years after she died again, or at least
was thought to do so; as she was carried out to be
buried, and the bearirs came near the hedge, her
husband cried out, twice or thrice, " Don't go so
near the kettle.'"
Tns USWAILT YOll7lllO, comes forth in

With such professions they obtain an influence over
hiin, which he has not the power or desire to throw
off. Parents want him against his associates, tell
ing him that "all is not gold that glitters," that the
ha:bully which flutters so sprightly, and shines so
beautifully with its painted wings in the summer of
his prosperity, will disappear when the biting hosts
of his adversity approach. But thinking himself too
firmly fixed to be led astray, he disregards this
friendly advice and listens to the counsels of his
young associates. They begin their work of death,
perhaps, by endeavoring to create in his mind a
contempt for religion, for the Sabbath and fOr its du• .
ties and privileges,'until, stepiby step, he is drawn
into their snare, 'and in some fatal moment his in
tegrity is gone. Pause then, young man, and con
sider. Never associate with those that scoff at re
ligioo. They are laboring to destroy your best
protection in this: life and your only "hope in that
life to come.
Kussuara.--Nature and nature's God smiles up
on the union that is sweetened by love and )sancti
fied by law. The sphere of onr affections is en.
larded, sbd our pleasure takes a wider range. We
become more important and respected among men,
and existence itself is doubly enjoyed with our soft
er self. Misfortune loses half its anguish beneath
the soothing influence of her smiles, and triumph
batteries more triumphant when shared with her.
Without her what is man t A roving and restless
being; 'driven at pleasure by romantic speculation,
and cheated into misery by futile .hopes—the mad
victim of untamed passions, and the disappointed

Tin; Sabbath is file a steam which has no eats-

Thus we find :that, in‘spite of quarantines, Sci

ply and entirely from the putrid • exhalation, of the
tnanshes on the banks of the Ganges, (whiCh effi
cient cl;ainings would have rendered perfectly heal

Politicians are engrossed in party quarrels, or at

telfi4h attempts . .le amnia :went
of their own countries at the expense of the rest of
the world ; men of science are pushing their inves

beneath us; the -#iinisters of religion in all civilize

at an immense ependiture of time, labof, and mo
ney, for the' epi4nal conversion of the heathen;
but none are fa* to sound the note of warning, to

But what a , •

proof of the cor4rafively uselessness of our boast

and conflicting, now not how to make available,
because they hate devised no means of applying

England, mi*.m..s of the Cholera's birth-place,
yet neglecting the sanitary provisions, which are
th i
essential to the `sty not of her own dominions
only, but of the ntire globe ; has wasted in costly
and bloody w easily more of treasures, of labor,
and of skill, would have enabled her to drain
i those pestilen • marshes upon the Ganges, the ez-
balations from which are the cane of this disease.
And the other 1 nations, occupied like her, in
schemes of selfish aggrandizement, have made no
remonstrances upon this neglect, devised no plan
for effecting thisnecessary work;; but have looped
supinely on, not' having even the wit to remember
that although it is in the dominilns of England that
the monster. malady is born and cradled, yet that if
it be not destroyed in the germ, the entire world
must be laid under contribution to its insatiable ,
maw. In fact, the indifference of rill classes and
parties to general interests of the most pressing cha
racter, is but too much like that of the man who
refused to lends hand at the pumps, looking on
with stupid indifference while the ship was filling,
because he was only a passenger t ' ,
There is in the world much work to be deneil
which is of individual concernment, and wrich" is'
to be accomplished by individual effort ; much 1
which, in like manner, concerns a particular na
tion, and is to be done by that nation. This the
world already sees and knows • but it is evident
that besides all this, there is mu ch which.concerns
the entire globe, and which can only be accom
plished by the conjoint wisdom and effott of the
