No, Alice; • there is a false sentiment prevniling on this subject; and as I think and "see it more dearly: Our parents have been weak in their love for us; and . society,. ss constituted, basviven us wrong estimates Of things,, We,should bare been require ed to - do useful work in the "household from he beginning; and should have been *left that idleness and self-indulgence were discreditable.

But we are raised daintily and' uselessly, and so fitted: . for our duties as wives and mothers. Our, pride and self-estedu are fostered; and we conic to think of our selves as future queens, who , are to .be ministered to in all things, instead of be ing ministrants, in loving self-forgetthl ness, 'to others. No wonder an anti marriage sentiment is beginning tO pre vail among young men of . moderate in comes, it; all our, large cities. The fault is in - us,'Alice. The sin lies at our door.

Her friend con tinued: - , • "I have read somewhere that the de light of heaven is the delight of being usefttl. And it'seems` to Me, as I dwell upon the thought, • tbk the nearest ap— proach to heavenly delight here, must be that state into which :a wife comes:' when she stands by her Mishand's Side, and out Of love for him, removes one burden and another from his shoulders, and so lightens his work; - tliat smiles take the place of weariness and. the .sliadowingi aoftßre: It he be,-rich; she can hardly have l ,so gr.ez s privilege; but if they are alike oor, amtknow how to moderate their asires their. home may become an image of Par: 1 . adi s e.

"That trust take in • work ,• - and earn money,.if we board: or—but.house-`I keeping'is out of the question." "•No; it should never be out of the question in Marriage, I think." • " But the. house rent alone. would take half of our income:" " That does not follow." . • "It does"-for any house I Would consent to live in. • "So pride' is stronger than love. Bet pride has its wages as well as love, and the one is hitter while the other is sweet. It is this pride of appearance, this living for the eye of other people who do not care a•Tenny for us, that is marrying the fair fabric of our social life. Fine.houses, fine fnrriiture, fine.dresses, parties, Shows and costly luxulieif,of all kinds are con sutning domestic happiness and kurthen ink, faters and' huShands in all grades of society, witkembarrassments and wretch edness.

Is thatit, - my pretty one?" ".For shame, Alice! You do not dsk serve ag_pod man. You are not worthy to wed Harry' Pleasants, and I trust you will pass him by should he be weak enough to offer you his hand. He tan% afford to marry a girl of your expeetations; he must content himself with one who, like •hirriself, regards life as real, life as earnest, and the way of use. and duty the way to true honor. and the highest happiness.' "Suppose you take him, Fanny, said sAliee, , halt' sportively, half petulantly.. She was a weak, proud, vain girl.

Death of Cleopatra. mom Annores " ITALY." Octavius, now undisputed master of the .world, was dreaming of the splendid tri umph which awaited him in Rome ; and the pt'esence of Cleopatra, the renowned queen of Egypt; to lend- in train of the captn•es, would be one of the cost conspicuous ornaments of the triumph.— ' Conscious ,of the *gradation which awaited her, - she watches for an opportu nity to - commit suicide. Octavius with almost equal interest guarded his captive, that she might not thus escape him. Her fetters were truly those, of .silk and gold, for she was treated. with tke most pro found deference; f% urroundea with all - her accustomed luxuries, and all her -wants were abundantly supplied. Octavius indulged himself with a tri umphal 'entrance into Alexandria, .en -deavoring by humanity and condescension to secure the favor •of the . people. Yet cruelly, it would seem, he .caused • the „el dest on of Antony, and also Clesario, Cleopatra's son by Julius Gmsar, to be put to death. , Fearing nothing itom any of the .otber children of Cleopatra, he - treated them all .as princes, provided them with teachers, that they might receive-an . education suitable to their-rank: . At length Octavius visited Cleopatra in 1-person. She _received bins artistiinilly languishing upon a conch, draped in ! gauze -like robes which seareely - conceal4 her voluptuona • beauty; fur though the freshness of youth had departed, she was still a woman of rare loveliness. 'No one know better than Cleopatra how to rung ! nify her charms, by tones of softness, and I that artlessness of manner which is the highest achievement of art. .:Her beauti ful eyes were filled with tears; her cheeks j flushed with emotion, and rising from her I couch she fainting, proStrase at ', \ the feet of Octavius. The young- con !querer lifted •the -exquisitely moulded, drooping form and placed her on the couch by. his sule,sispporting her against his own biiSont. ' A queen whose renown filled the I world, . beautirul, gracefid, pliant, had throwu lierself into his arms. How could he treat her cruelly? Had • Cleopatra I been nineteen instead- of thirty-nine, the decision might have been different, • and, by-facile divorce, the way Might have, been made' easy for Cleopatra . to. share the throne of universal empire with Octa. sins. But ,as,•thc circumstances were, an:. bition- proved more powerful than lore. Cleopatra exhauste.d,all her magazines of art— tears,- smiles, reproaches, blandish ments,- flattery, supplications, to win Oc tayius, but in vain. • ,He treated her 'With politeness, but his heart remained obdu rate. The queen took from her boson Some . letters full .Of tendernesS, from Julius Cesar and with a tremblin! -, voice and falling tears, read them to &laving.; "But of what avail to me now,''' she said, "is all this : kindness? Why did I not die with him ? And yet in bcfrivius I see another Julius. You are his perfect image. .He seems to have returned from the spirit land in you." ' , . All was in vain. • After' a long inter view Octavius left, and Cleopatra • reflect ed in despair that for and, first time her charms had failed her. She had surren dered herself to Octavius and he had cold - - I lv laid her aside.: What more could she do Nothing. There now retrained for her but to die, or to be carried to Rome to grace the triumph of her conqueror.= There was a young Roman in the camp by the name of Dolabella. He was Much affected with the queen's grief, and' she, with woman's tact, had .thrown him' all the meshes of her:wiies. Dolabella knew and informed her of all that was transpir ing. One dayhe brought to. her couch the tidings that in three days she and her children were to 'be sent to Rome. The crisis had-now come, and, with singular calmness and fortitude', Cleopatra prepared.to die. After taking a bath, she attired herself in her most sumptuous robes and sat down with her friends to .3 truly, regal 'feast. Apparently. banishing all care, the festive hours passed rapidly away. At the close of the 'least . she dis missed all her attendants bat two., , She. then - wrote a note to Octavins, informing him of herintention to die, and requested that her body might be ,buried in the tomb with that of Antony. She had contrived to have brought .to .lier, ,iu basket offlowers,. an asp, a reptile the coneEntrated venom .of whose bite causes inevitable death, and: yet With but little,. pain, Slie dispatobed 'the, letter to Qctavins; 'and immediatey • ph;ced the reptile upon .her arm... The 'poisenous , fangs' pierced her flesh, stupor and insen sibility soon ensued, and she sank back upon her couch, and . died. , Oct inimediately 'upon receiving I the letter from Cleopatra,dispatehed mos 7: sengers hoping to"..preventthe fatal deed., But they,arrived toe late.

Puritanism, ! very appropriate to the present time, and bearing directly on the fierce controversy which has sprung , from the,propagand-' i ism Of the Puritan sect of New England; ,forming a combination .With 'desperate - tvoliticians who caught up the pious Cry against the "'slave power": as a means I of bringing Oni mto .oflicc at the 'risk of !breaking tip the. government .by_ revolu- Ilion.- The chiefivalue of the- historical I sketch consists in its truth and impar; tialitv, haring bat little in. common-common-with . the Fourth of July. orations and 'pilgrim !celebrations,- at which, even such mett-as ' Daniel Webster have been so long in 'the habit, of glorifying Nii ew 'England iia its - puritans'at thneXpense of the rest of the I people of the cOnfederacy;and ;;lowing lover the indubitable ablefiatsa of history, --ivliich tell . a very 'diflbrent tale: Our his-. torian goes back for. the origin -of :Cite Pii litans to the time! of Edward the; Sixth, lof England„-who broug,ht with hint some German fanatics! to • that country:. But .

"Stand by thyself . , 'II am holier than thon,t is still their motto, as I the very name puritan - imports.

Hence the revolittionary resistance now being organized at the South. ,1 1 The root of theleVil underlying the anti- 1 sla.V Cryagit ation gin *the.

It is impossible for a genuine .descendents I of the Pilgrims ofithe Mayflower to divest I himself of the notion that he is cine.of a I superior race, and that lie is. born' to rule , over, all other races by force of fraud, not- 1 withstanding thelassertion of the 'Decla- , ! ration of Independence that" all neat are iceated equal: It is this innate to i .. that proMpts the New Englander to deny I the Southern States their rightS .in this cpnfedracy as coequal partners, and to in aistsupon tbrcing his ideas of negro s'erVi- I Ltede down the- throats of ail men, North! and South, at, the point of the bayonet. This has led tOthb present disastrous con -1 dition of the Uniln, - and-what else it may lead to time will soon develop,. • The sincerity - cir the Puritan politicians i touching the slavery question is op' a , par with their sincerity touching religious per secution in days! of old. If we believe I their harrowing tale, their ancestors fled 1 to America from !persecution in England by the established Church. and Govern -1 ment, and these enemies. of persecution 'for - conscience sake brought into the New I. World the principles of civil and religions I liberty on which I the federal' and: State governments are constructed.

HoW the Pu ritans dealt with the Indians, in coaider ation for whose future' conversion and kindly treatment they obtained from the English Government a charter of the_lMid on which they settled, their own historians have told the world. As long as slavery was profitable they not,'-only enslaved both- the Indians and and the negroes, making them "taxable prbperty," but 'carried on a brisk traffic their flesh,. selling them: in the' best markets to, the highest bidders.. From them the severest of the: . "slave codes" of the Southern States have been borrow ed. It was at their instance that the abo lifion of the slave trade was 'pbstponed front-the time the constitution was adop ted till 1808, in order'that they might 're tain the traffic as long as possible. They sold their owii slaVea to the Sonth and it was their ships that afterwards:supi)lied the Southern labonniarket with importa tions of negroes from Africa. The slave trade is now abolished, their -vocation is gone, and they are seized-with a holy hor -ror even of domestic slavery, whicktueans that they want monopoly of the spoils of office and of the public lands; as 'they formerly claimed an exclusive patent from 'Heaven for religous persecution—a divine right to . do wrong.

In the second war with England, 1812-15, they refuSed to allow their 'militia to be used against the enemy, and gave him all the aid mid comfort they could.

' When Louisiana was about to be admitted, IlaSsachesetts, by her legislature, declared -she would secede; and When Texas was about being. admitted, Puritan Massachusetts again voted .herself out ofthe Union prospec tively, but never carried out the act. ,She is now. very loyal to the.
