[The most exqUisite love poem is founded On the

r, ---- Sketcla. of a Miser.—A New .Yoik paper
relates tfie history ol'an old miser of that city.
whose business is that of a .paper-scavenger,•at
which he steadily labors from early dawn till '
night: "He never goes home to dinner, but.
when hungry, generally purchases Ir dry crust of
lfread, and eats it sitting upon the lower steps of
the-Custom House, or City Hall Never does he
utter a word to a living soul; and when the stran
ger looks upon him, he feels •disposed to exclaim
what a poor, miserable being !" is, in
deed, a pitiable object to look upon—fir his
leather clothes - are glossy and hard, with theNccu
mulated filth of many years, and hie countenance
—it is furrowed all over with deep wrinkles,
which no one could belieVe were ever moistened
by a tear. He is aliard visaged man--repulsive,
and even terrible to look upon. For fifteen years
babe we known this singular being, and "even
_then 'he was so old, he seems ho older now."—.
There are people in this great city who have,been
faMiliar with his form for upwards of twenty ,years,
and they affirm that he has been a paper-scavenger
during all that . time.: At all times, when the
winds of 'winter howl thrOugh the streets, and ,
also, when the dog-star reigns, doe; lie pursue his
laborious and degrading employment.
And now that we have introdiiced our hero to - i
the reader, it is meet that we should,mention what
we know of his a ctual condition. He-is a miser
—a narrow-minded and mean miser, who call
count his dolliws by• tens. of thousands. If the
reader doubts our word, let him,' when next he
meets the miserable man in the public highway.
ask hirrifthe time of day, and he will be promptly
answered on, the authority of a superb gold watch,
bidden in his filthy yeatidents: A dry crust uf
bread and a cart off Lone constitute his daily food,
and yet this man carries the deeds in his pocket,
which prove him to be the proprietor of at least
five handsome dwelling houses, located in a fash•
innable part of ihe'city t certificates of-bank stock
and other voidable- papers, are also hidden io his
pockets. He is-a widower, but the father of. an
only daughter, whom he , has established over a
superbly furnished house, as the solo mistress and
only tenants - She has all she needs in the way.uf,
household things, and every luxury of.the season,
and though her servants may prepare a somptu•
ous feast. none participates with her in its enjoy
ment. ThOugh it would add to , her happiness on
such occasions, to call in a neighboring friend, yet
the privilege of giving an invitation is denied by
her father, in the 'meet positive - and imperative
manner. In the rear of his daughter's dwelling,
is located a ricketty shell of a cabin. resembling.
more the appearance of a sty than-a !Inman habi
tation,'and this is the only dwelling plate of our
miser. And now he spends the precious hours of
his leisure life, counting his gold and examining
the signatures of his deeds by the light which
-rests upon his oaken table, and seldom is extin
guished until after the hoUr of midnight; and_
when exhausted With his strange vigals, carefully
does be fatten, with heavy iron bolts, the door of
his den, and sinks to sleep upon his bed of rags.

Misr
.rF.Sound !linty to tViv B.—The first inquiry
of a woman alter marriage should tie,' "How
shoji I continue the love.! Moja inspired 1 How
shall] preserve. the heart I have won?"
1. Endeavor to make your husband's habitation
alluring and delightful to him. Let it be to him
sanctuary to which ,his heart may always-turn
from the calainitieS of life. Make it a repose from
his-cares, a shelter from the world, a home, not
for his person only, hut for his heart. _He may
meet with pleasure in other houses, but let. him
find pleasure in his own. Should. he be dejected
sooth him ; should he be silent and though4ol,
do not heedlessly disturb him ; should_he ttest&
diouejavor hint with ail racticable facilities';' or
should be be peevish make allowance for human
nature, and by your gentleness," Sweetness, and
good humor, urgehtna continually to think, though
he,may knit say it, -this woman is a comfort to
me; I cannot but requite such gentleness and af
fection as they deserve." k'
-2. Invariably adorn yourself with delicacy and
modesty. The - i to a man of refineMent, are at
tractions the most highly captivating; while their
opposite never faiPto inspire disgust. Let the

3. if it be possible, let your husband suppose
yob think him a good husband, and it will beta
strong stimulus of his being so. As long as he
thinks'he possesses the reputation, ho will take
some pains to deserve it ; but when he has 'Mee
lost 'the name, he will be apt to ab 'bairn the re
ality.
4. Cultivate and exhibit with the greatest care
and constancy,theerfulnets and good humor They
give beauty to thd finest face; and impart charms
where charms are not. On the contrary, a gloomy
dissatisfied manner, is chilling and repulsive to
his feelings ; he will be very apt to seek elsewhere
for those smiles and that cheerfulness which he
finds not in his own house. •
5. In the article of dre,s, study your husband's
taste. The opinion of others on this subject, is of
very little consequence, if, he approve.
6. Portico Lilly shun 'what the world calls in
ridicule " curtain lectures." When you shut
your door at night, endeavor to shut out at
that mammal! discord and contention, and look
on your chamber as a retreat from the vexations

tion. . .
How 'indecorous, offensive, and sinful is it for a
woman to exercise authority over.her husband,
and to say, will have it so. I shall be as I.
like!" But I trust the number, of those who
adopt'this unbecoming and disgraceful manner, is
so small as th render it unnecessary to enlarge op
the subject, -
7. Be careful never to jo'n in a jest and laugh
against your, husband. Conceal his faults, and
speak only of his merit.. - Shun every. approzch
to extravagance. The want of economy' has in
volve•) millions in misery. Be neat, tidy - , orderly,
methodical. Rise early, breakfast catty, have a
place for everything, and everything in its place.

9. Let home be your empire—your world. Let
it be the scene of your withes, - your thoughta,'your

which, in the varied characters of wife,'of mother,

Rallle .Snakes- and Ash Treis.—lt is a
curious fact perhaps not generally known to those
unacquainted with this reptile, that it has a great
aversion to • a white ash tree. ,Strike it with a
twigg of this tree,'-and the rattle-snake becomes
convultied. And with such .a wand in his hand,
a person may travel through the habitations. 'or
this venomous reptile without fear of molestation.
The Indian, aware - -of the virtoes of this, tree,
strews' his couch and his wigwam with its ledres,
s and the hurter fills his boots with them. A.
gentleman talto formerly was in the halt of bunt

'white ash upon the rattle-snake: _
AL.• (1n returning from their traria one day,-ontr.of -
the party caught a: rattle-snake. and brought it
the-camp. It was immediately.propo

now of leaves were gathered . together in the form'
of a' ircle ; a segment of the - circle beirig com-
I posed entirely of -the leaves of the white ash the.
remaining part of the leaves of the maple. The
rattle-sniike was placed within the circle, which
was fifteen or twenty test in diameter. • The rat
tle-snake, in•great fear, and trembling, retrrated
towards the maple leaves,but here the experiment
ers met him with iheir ash-twigs, as he was glad -
to stop his course and laid his head down in quiet
submissiOn.

A fter this manner had been essayed for some
time, the segment of maple leaves was set on fire
and the huntcla retired to watch the .effectY The
rattlesnake raised his head, moved about in a small
circle, tented his head towards the burning, leaves,

and plunging- into, the flames escaped from the

tempts made to use the anthracite coal, and to
bring it to mrrket. Hon. Chas. Miner, of Wilkes.
barre, in his published accounts of his first efforts,
in connection with Mr. Cist, and other associalet,
relates some pleasaiit anecdotes. On thr; 1 0th of
August, 1614, they started off their 'first'ark,frona
Mauch Chunk, "In Ws than 80 zotlsirom the
'place of starting, the ark 'struck on a l dem, and
brakes hole in her bow. iThe lads stripped them
selves nearly naked, to , stop the rush of water with
their clothes." In six days, however', the ark
reached Philadelphia:. with its 24 tons of coal ,
which had, by thik time, cost:sl4 a ton. " [it,"
says Mr. Miner, ~ we had , the greater difficulty to
oVeileome of inducing the public to use our coal,
when brought to their doors."
I . •
,' ~ We published handbills in English 11‘ d Ger
man, elating the made of binning the coal, either"
in grates, in smith's forges, pr in stoves. i Togeth.. .
I er we went to several houses in the city, and, pre.
veiled on the masterslo allow: us to kindle fires in .
their grates, erected, to burn Liverpool'coal. We
attended at the blacksmiths' shops, and prevailed'
upon some , to alter the IToodron, so that they
nriztit burn -Lehigh. coal ; 'and we were sometimes .
obliged to 'bribe the journeymen to try 4 the experi.
ment fairly, so averse were they to learn the use '
of a new sort of fuel." - . • -
How like a fable all this seems at the, present
day ! As we sit hefore'ohr cnal,fires and think.

Years ago Mr. Miner and Mr. Ci4t were trying the
experiment of an anthracite firer- at Wilkesbarre,
I and'-wondering whether' they
_could not float an
ark loath of the coal to Philadelphia I', Now we
are reckoning the coal trade in millions of tons!
In the Sdinylkill region the effort was made a
little earlier. •In 1812. Col. George Shoemaker
loaded nine wagons with coal at the place now
known asithe Centreville Mines, and p-o:eeded to
Philadelphia. ~ Much time was spent by him in
, endeavoring to mtroduce it to notice...but all tat
I efforts proved unavailing.- l'hOse who deigned to.
try it, declared C-01. Shoemaker to be an impostok
for atteintititloo impose stone upon them for coal,
and weroiltmortins against him. 'Not discoura.

the undertaking, and at last succeeded in disposing
of two loads for the cost of transportation, and the
remaining seven he gave to persons,-who promised
to try and.usiit, and lord all the coal and charges."
