A Stght beforc the Wedding,
r-'" BTJIttS. E. ,F. ELIET. ,
“We shall be very happy together,” said Louisa
ta her Aunt, the evening before the wedding—
and her cheelc was tinged with a rich color and
her eyes eparkled with soul-felt happiness.
• When a:young bride says“weqV ii may eaisly
be imagined whom she is talking of.
“i doubt it not, dearest Louisa,” answered hep
Aunt, “take heed 'only, that you remain as hap
py.”. '.
“Ohl no fear of.that, my prudent Abnt.. Iknow.
myse'.i and my faults; but my love for him will
correct them. So long as we love each' other,,we
can never ’be unhappy, and our affections cannot
change.”»
“Ah!” said her Aunt, “you talk like a girl of
nineteen on the eve of marrage, in the heyday of
hope arid bright' anticipations. Dear child—be
' lieve .even the heart grows old. The duy must
come, when the rapture of passion will decay—
when the elusion is over, and we stand revealed in
- our real characters. After custom has robbed
beauty of its dazzling charms—after youth has de
parted or shadows mingled with the light of home,
then,‘Louisa, the wife, may talk of the excellen
cies of her husband, or husband of the admirable
qualities of his wife. But the day before wedding;
such encomiums go for nothing with me.”
“I understand you dear Aunt. You mean to say
the virtues only of each can give lasting pleasure
to the other. Now for myself I ' aay nothing—for
I can boast only will; but yon cannot deny that
rny betrothed is the best and most deserving of all
the young men of this town? Are not alii virtues
that lead to happiness btooming in him ?
“1 will ,do you both justice,” answered her re
lative, “and acknowledge that virtues bloom in
both: I can aay that to you without flattery, Lou
isa, my love, they only bloom, and need a life
time of rain and sunshine to ripen them. No bios.
soms are more deceitful at first opening. We
- cannot .know in what soil they are rooted. Who
knows the hidden heart?
“Nay, my dear children, even could you alwayß
be as you are, youth and beauty would lose the
power to chaim, with : habit and their constant
presence. Mengrow soon weary of the loveliest
face.. Besides, your husband must grow o|d him
self: and then youthful manners will cease to please
him. Your habits, your tastes; would not be con
genial.”
Loriisa sighed.
«[ could; store your memory,” resumed her Aunt
'•with precepts to guafdyaur happiness., It would
tell you to beware of the first quarrel; never to
contend, even in jest; to have no secrets from each
other, leastthe springs of confidence bfr insensibly
snapped; to beware of the interference'of relations.
But these are maxims which your prudence will
sufficiently, impress upon you, and their obser
vance at least will have bat a negative effect.
“Would you have the secret of perpetual love-
ls ia a treasure—not feature of complex
ion, but in the soul. Men worship beauty for the
inward graces of which it is the pledge. Would
• you know how to beep the soul fair T—religion is
the only true secret for that.
“Thus you see, my love, how little we can de.
pend upon personal perfection; how.little on men
tal excellencies or amiable traits of character,—
But, the virtues bom of, and nourished by religion,
are them from Him who is the
author of religion; and seek them daily from Him.
Be assured thus, that you will ever remain fair
and amiable in the eyes of your husband, and be
blessed in every relation of life.”
Louisa flung her arms around her Aunt’s neck
and thanked her with tearful eyes for her lesion.
Different Periods of Lire.
Judge Davis, not many months before his death
on the occasion Of a dinner party at his bouse, at
which Mr. Justice Story and other eminent jurists
and.lawyers were present, the conversation turned
upon the advantage of the different periods of life.
Some thought the seasons of youth and manhood
the fullest of enjoyment, and others -gave prefer
ence, for solid satisfaction, to the period of age.—
Judge Davis did not state his opinion until he was
invited to do. so; and. then in a calm and benign
manner for which-be was remarkable he said: “In
the warm season of tbe year it is mydelighttobe
's in the country, and every pleasant evening while I
am there, I love to sit at the window, and look up
.: on some beautiful trees which grow near my house:
The.murmuring of the wind through the branches,
: the gentle: play of the leaves, and the flickering
; ■ of light upon them, when the moon is up, fills me
with indescribable pleasure. As th» autumn comes
-■ on, I feel very sad to see those leaves falling one
by one—but when they are all gone, I find they
were only a screen before my eyes; for I experien
ced anew and higher satisfaction as I gaze through
. the naked, branches to the glorious stars beyond.
Good Maxims.
j. The world estimates men by their successes
in life, and by general consent, success is evidence
of superiority.
2. Neyer under any circumstances, assume a re
sponsibiiity ypu can avoid consistently wilh your,
duty to yourselves and others'.
3: Base ,all'your actions upon a principle or
right, preserve your integrity of character and in
doing this, never reckon the cost
d.ißememher thatiself interest is more likely
to warp your jndgment.than all other circumstan
ces combined; therefore look well to your duty
when your interest is concerned; ;
Hip. Never make money at the expense of your
reputation.
“6. Be neither lavish nor niggardly; of the two
avoid the latter. A mean man is universally de
• spised; but public fayor is a stepping-stone to pre
ferment ; therefore, generous feelings should be cul
tivated.
7. Let your expensea.be such as to leave a bal
ance in year pocket Ready money is a friend in.
need.
:.8. Keep cleer pf the law ; for when you gain
your case, you are generally a looser of money.
• 9; Never relate your misfortunes;'nor grieve
over whst you cannot prevent.

next week issue the first number of The
Saturday Mornisg Post—being a contin
uation of the Mercury and Manufacturer*
which will bo forwarded to all the patrons
of the latter paper. The change will be
to the advantage of our weekly readers, as
the new paper will contain at least one
third inore reading matter; and its contents
will otherwise, be of a more entertaining,
and valuable character. We think that
l our efforts to gratify the reading public,
will be met, on their part; with increased
patronage. If every subscriber to our old
weekly will obtain ;and forward us another
subscriber to our new Mammoth Sheet, we
shall long remember their kindness.; Read

03” We are anxious to close up our old
books, and make a final settlement, so as to
enable us to proceed with our new enter
prise without the slightest embarrassment.
Our proprietorship; of this paper has now
ran through the space of quite two years
and a half, and strange as it may seem, a
very large number of our subscribers have
not paid us a farthing! This, no doubt,
has been the result of negligence, rather
than disinclination or inability. We ear
nestly call upon all those who know them
selves to be in arrears, to call as soon as
possible, and settle. Those living at a dis
tance, can remit by mail, at our risk. It is
impossible for us to send out collectors to
wait upon all those who may be in arrears-
We are anxious to adopt, hereafter,
the Cash System, as far as possible, in con,
(ducting opr business. To compete with
; Eastern papers, this measure is absolutely
necessary. We are compelled to pay cash
to our paper maker, and all hands
in the office; and unless our patrons are
prompt, it is n difficult matter to get along
smoothly. '(

Canvassers 'Wanted.
We wish'to employ, at this office, some three or
Jour active and intelligent young men, to canvass
for subscribers to our new weekly Mammoth paper,
Tire Satoodav Montano Post. Constant employ
ment and. fair compensation will be given. None
but trust-worthy persons need apply.
The Popular Vote—Taylor l.argelyjn the
minority.
I Below, will bo found the aggregate vote in each
State for President, as far.as the official returns have
been received, Wisconsin,-Texas and Florida being
tbe only States not included. With these, and ma
king a fair allowance for South Carolina, the vote of
Gen. Cats cannot fall far short of 1.250,000, The
aggregate vote of the three States not incloded, will
diminish Gen. Taylor’s plurality over him, which,
thus for, is 144,053.; Their vote will also increase
Gen. Taylor’s minority of the popnlarvote, which it
that far 135,931. In other words, Gen. Taylor will
fall short of a majority of the votes of the people, by
at least 150,000.
The aggregate vote for President, exclusive of the
four States named, is 2,813,625 —which exceeds the
entire vote of all the States in ’44, by 35,604.

Democratic State Convention.
In relation to the next Democratic State Conven
tion, which will assemble in this city, the Pennsylva
nian discourses fla follows:
: Democratic State ConvcimoN.—The Pittsburgh
Post, from which; we copy tho following, deserves
the thanks of oil Democrats, for calling attention,
thus opportunely, to tho Democratic State. Conven
tion, to bn held at Pittsburgh, by resolution of the
last Convention, which met at Harrisbnrgb. We
trust the Suite Central Committee, to whom the se
lection of the day for holding the next Convention
has been confided, will not fix it on the Fourth of
March, ; The chances are ibat’the Legislature will
still be in session at that time, and nsit is morn than
probable that some of the members will be dele
gates,it wOold be next to impossible for them to be
at Pittsburgh-to take , their seats. Besides, on the
Fourth-of March the Inauguration of the new Pres
ident will take place—an event that usually calls
men of sU.parties to Washington; We throw out
these suggestions, and believe they will strike our
friends as reasonable. Any day, farther on, so as
not.to interfere with the sitting of the Legislature,
would doubtless be quite ncceptible. It will give
-ns grant pleasure to share the hospitalities of our
good friends of Pittsburgh, whenever the Committee
decide upon the period when the Convention is to
be held.
. The Westchester Republican,in an able article
on this subject, thinks that the 4th of March is en
tirely too early a day forthe Convention to assemble;
UUd suggests to the' State Central Committee that
the Convention should bo called for the 4th of July.
In speaking, of the assembling of the Convention
in Pittsburgh, that excellent paper, the Crawford D
emocrat says: “ vVe think this an excellent arrange
ment,and one tbat is calculated to strengthen the
party. It is no more than fair that the expense in
cident to the mooting of our Conventions should be
thus equalised, and the advantage, if any, nit mo
nopolized by one locality.”

Singular as it may appear, Moses Hampton did
not dodge, when the above vote was taken! It
must be evident that Gen. Taylor, has neglected
him in some way—perhaps not answered his
mournful letters!
Gem. Taylor’s owes Views.
The "ultra whig” politicians throughout the conn- j
try have been very busily engaged oflate, in arrange’
ing the Cabinet for Gen. Taylor. Of coutse the work
of those cabinet-maVersis altogether gratuitous, and
!a done solely for the porpoae of advancing their own
special interest. We have at length, from Gen. Ta
ylor’s own hand, the basis upon which his cabinet will
’be organized, though no knowledge as to the partic
ular individnals who will compose it. The New
York Courier of Thursday, gives the following ex
tract of a letter from Gen. Taylor to a gentleman in
that city. Gen. T.'under date oi Dec. 7, having com
plied with the solicitation to make It public:
Baton Rouoe, March 2d,7848.
* • • • • s
If elected, I shall endevor to organize my cabinet
in such a manner as to secure a fair and enlightened
representation atmut me ofthe great interests of the.
country; and as far its practicable, to represent all
sections of the Union. If constructed upon such
principles, it seems to me that the people should be
satisfied; and I believe that such would be the case.
Z. Tayzcb.
Our interpretation ofthis letter is, that Gen. Tay
lor will appoint to office whigs and democrats, pro
tectionists and free traders, abolitionists, and slave
holders, and men of all other factions,who will “rep
resent all sections of the Union.” He will have
around him a delightful collection ofdiscerdaht pol
iticians I
Mr. Hampton and bis ConstltnentSi
The American i> the only Whig paper in this city,
out of some four or five, that haa bad the independ
ence to speak ont boldly in opposition to the dig.
graceful course of Mr. Hampton in Congress. Every
Whig with whom we have conversed, ia overflowing
with indignation and dlsguat, at the cowardly, skulk
ing, dodging individual, who disgraces Allegheny
county, at Washington. It is not in Moses Hamp.
ton’s nature to bo an honest man—-bis past history,
here and in Washington, proves the truth of this.
But no doubt he wilt set to work again, as he did
last winter, and write home private letters, endeav
oring to explain his treachery; end at the same time
abuse the Editor of the Post, in language the most
vulgar and malignant. If Gen. Taylor rewards this
fawning, sneaking sycophant, his administration will
not last three months 1

Mosi Gold.— New Mexico— Col. Emory, of the
topographical engineers, in his report of the expe
dition westward fromihe mountains of New Mexico,
along the course ot the river Gila, speaks of having
met with gold at several points on his route. The
following in relation to the riter Prieto, whichemp
ties into the Gila, is interesting,, and “important if
true:”— ,
“As the story goes, the Prieto comes down from
the mountains, freighted with gold. Its sands are
said to be full of this precious metal. A few ad ven
turers who ascended this river, hunting beaver, wash
ed the sands at night, when they halted and were
richly rewarded for thoir trouble. Tempted by their
success they made a second trip, and were attacked
and most of them killed by the Indians. My author
ity for this statement is Landreau, who, though an
illiterate man, is truthful.”
Vfould you throw a brick-bat a at firiend who baa
fallen overboard? "Would you gather stones and
pile them on h bank that has fallen on a brother?
Would you throw a keg of powder to a friend
who had fallen in the fire? Then why heap words
of reproch upon him who has erred from the path
of duty? Why denounce and spurn him. from
your presence? Can you be a stranger to tbe hu
man heart—you who' have so often fallen?
He cannot know the human heart
Who, when a weaker brother errs,
Instead of acting Mercy’s part,
Each base, malignant passion stirs,
| Harsh words and epithets but prove
That he himself is in the wrong—
-1 That first he needs a brother’s love,
; To nerve bis heart and guide his tongue.

before the Mayor this morning with the balance of]
hia pile, which was cared for, and restored to him |
lby tho Captain. He is on his way tolhe “Jarseys,” |

| waa a luge and fashionable looking gentleman from |
| Waahington City. Be had wandered fronrhis hotel
I and got drank, and in this condition the watchmen
