K FOE TO HONESTY.
ahllshe world ought to be by thin time
•
twnre that the "credit system" is one of
be moot unmitigated curses -that ever af
dieted humanity, and has created more vil
lains then all the other.lntisences of a fate and attl-
Octal state of eaciety. Therefore, we wish most earn
„rly to Impress upon all dealers of every kind, In this
commercial age, the great palladium of honesty and fair
dealing. "Esau and no ewe ratcsKl” IC this motto
should be universally adopted, mankind would become
speedily honest. ' •
Jew take the coos of the country people who supply
our markets with provisions—Vibe scale happens to
turn. "but in tire estimation of a hair," they are Hale
to lose all. But let. these same persons go into a store
to make a patchiest of any kind, and the chance. are
that something like the• following will take place:
Parekaser.—How much do you ask for this 1
Aferckent.—So much, (naming a price about twice
'what he to willing to take rather than not sell.),
Perastrer.-1 can't give that price, (walking towards
'the door.)
XrerAitar.—atop, Stop, my friend! What will you
give 1,
Psetkassr.—(returning.)—Well I d&nt know-.you
appear to ask'very high for your goods; i will give pia
J oe l half what you mentioned lust now.
Nercluat.—Werl, you shall have the goods for that
orire-ftut I. give you
. roy word of honor that it is far
'below cbst.
Now we appeal to men ofcommonsreinie wether this
is honesty, or the reverse of - it. If you want rood and
cheap HATS, therefore, at one invarhible aniEunifonn
price, and no mistake, call on the subscriber. :Uwe are

THE STRANGER ON THE SILL
By Mama Beceartan Read.
Between broad fields of wheat and corn
Is the lowly haat. where I we's bom :
The peach tree lean. against the wall,
And the woodbine wanders over all ;
There is the shaded doorway still,
But a stranger's foot has crossed the sill.
•
There is the barn—and, an of yore,
• I can smell the hay from the open door,
And see the busy swallow's throng, '
And hear the peewee's, mournful song;
„ But the stranger comes—oh! painful proof—
!I Ilia sheaves are piled to the heated roof.
There is the orchard—the very trees
Where my childhood knew long hours of ease,
And watched the shadowy moments run
Till my life imbibed more shade than can.
Throwing from the hough still sweeps the air,
But the etranger'a children are swinging there
There bubblesthe ehady spring below,
With nil bulrush brook where the hazel. grow,
'Twos there I found the calamor root,
And watched the minnow' poise and'shont,
And heard the robin lave his wing=
But the stranger's bucket Is at the spring.
Oh, ye who daily cross the sill,
•
Step lightly, fort love it still ;
And when you crowd theold ban, eaves,
Then think what countless harvest sheaves
I Have passed within that Scented door
To gladden eyes that are no more.
Deal kindly with these orchard trees ;
And when your children miiwd their knees, ;
Their sWeetest fruit they shall impart,
As if old memories stirred their heart.
To youthful-sport still leave the swing, ' it '
And in sweet reverence hold the spring.
The barn, the trees, the brook, the . birds,
The meadows with their lowing herds;
The woodbine on the cottage wall—
My heart stilt lingers with them all.
Ye strangers on my native eill„
Step lightly, for I love It still.

MARRIAGE, REAL AND NOMINAL
•What a beautiful woman Mrs. H. is ! There
is something quite noble looking io those calm,
regular features of hem; and their expression is
as sweet and gentle as one can imagine that of
Wordsworth's—
'Perfect woman, nobly planned."
ti agree with you. Mrs. H.'s face is beautiful
in form and outline, and, u you say, sweet and
gentle in its expession ; but I must say it does
not fulfil my idea! (to use the modern phrase) of
- thr spiritual beauty expressible in the human face.
There is none of that ever-varyin eloquence of
expression which is the very life - sond divinity in
the countenance of man or woman, in the still
life of Mrs. H.'s features. There is neither
thought. nor 'strength, nor eirofiniter everlast
ingly sweet smile. Beauty 1130 mayipossees ; but
it is the beauty of marble, animats! by one feel
isg—am;ability.'
'Well! and what more beautiful feeling could
speak from her soul, through a woman's eyes,
than you bare assigned to MN, H. I Moreover,
I believe the personification you speakof is real;
and I account it a most fortunate thing far H. to
have such a wife! A stronger and more active
ly intellectual and spiritual nature would. have
been-unsuited to hie mind and circumstances, and
might have diverted his attention from his public
duties, excited his faculties in a different direction.
and it may be, have unwittingly hindered high his
course of usefulness.'
sI cannot agree with you there. It is a mista
ken idea that strength must oppose strength. I
believe, rather, that where properly suited, the
strong"mind assimilates more closely, and in a far.
higher and nobler manner, with another strong.
though perhaps different nature, than is possible
in such unions as that your are rejoicing at the
sight of. Such a marked inequality must involve
imperfect unity, acd, I think, shows but a poor
appreciation of what marriage is in the man who
chooses or admires it: What woultryou think of
an eagle wedded toM dove I White and beauti
ful, gentle and loveful though she be, softly
though she down the eyrie, and neatly though
she arrange it for his reception, she is still btata
dove; and when her kingly mate returturtrom
his flight beyond the clouds, and folding those
-wings that have swept along the -surface of the
sea, and borne him to the untrodden lands near
the rising of the sun; when those eyes that have

to be refreshed end revirect,—when there, in the
repose hours of life - , he would again,. in thought.
unfold those wince, sod maim the vast and won
`
drous regions they have traversed—to whom - must
be depict the glory, and beauty, and mystery, that
have enriched his soul? Surely not to the gentle ,
dove by his side; for grateful though he feel for
her warmth and love, he knows too well that in
her mind is neither scope nor poWer to reflect - his
thoughts. He is therefore silent : to the deepest'
tones ((his soul's robs he feels there can be no
response: he must not utter them, except, per
chance, to the stars; with whom be cannot re
ceive that breath of sympathy which so refreshes
and nourishes the soul. Think you the kingly
bird's nature can- be fully- developed under such
circumstances I By my belief in marriage, as
the highest fulfilment of out being. the strength
ener of our strength, the ennobles of our powers,
the elevator of our desires, the inspirer of our
highest inopulses-_-4 deny the perfection of such
unions. And yet how frequently they take place;
and we find them not only defended, but admired
as,Models.
1 , 'Such adMiration is as reasonable as the re
joicing of the blind man that he had never been
troubled with sight ! Poor dark one ! he could
not know that the effort of vision, if we may use
the expression, which be imagined applicable to
that exquisite sense, is amply rewarded by the
beauty of earth, and sir, and sky, which it reveals.
Stich reward, is a spiritual form, the earnest seek
er rifler unity in union may find ; for sympathy
is the right sense of the soul. reflecting on the
inward retina of mutually loving and kindred
spirits the whole nature of each.'
!Your ideal of marriage is a noble one, and I
doubt not, true; but how seldom is it attained.—
And, after all. what are more dear than love and
gentleness. How beautiful it is to see the world
toiling man finding. the solace of recipr oc al affec
tion, even though he be denied IntellectUal syrn•
pathy in his wife!'
'Yes, beautiful as are the few treasured flowers
in the prison of the captive, whoa right it is to
see and enjoy the whole beauty of earth; Love
and gentleness are, indeed, beyond price but
in my ideal of the queen eagle, they are as per.
feet as in the dove. Quickness and clearness of
intellect, vividness of imagination, warm love of
truth, and sigh( and pure earnestness' of purpose,
are as native to the female as sympathy and tett
&mew. I own I aria somewhat of an aristocrat
in regard to marriage, and would not mingle serf
with knightly blood._ But the heraldic blazonry
must be of Heaven's stamping; the Gules and
the Azure, and the Or, must be colored in the soul!
Nothing can be more grevious to contemplate
than the loss and suffering from ill-assorted un
ions. When, as sometimes happens, the woman
is superior to her husband, the case is still worse,
formomen's whole life end soul are involved in
marriage, and her social position is less favorable
to finding the substitute men generally obtain in
outward resources.,

Qt is a diffic s ult question this of marriage; youth
is most naturally irs season ; every unfolding sen
timent and budding hope, and branching desire,
bends' t that period toward the sun of love. Mar
riage, without love in highest enthusiasm, is not
werthy,the name; but the firm basis of reason is
not the less needful." And how liable is youth to
mistake—to decide on uncertain premises—or,
more cor rectly speaking, to act unteasotiingly!—
True, passion lights its beautiful flame. and pours
forth its - generous warmth in the heart of youth;
but the fire does not there die! In the pure and
earnest soul, love, highest and most intense, lives
over:, pteserving the freshness of opting, through
the msturer seasons of life, and' insures to btm
who guards it wi.h vestal care, a perpetual youth
of the heart. Manhood is thelseason far mar
riage,' says the philosopher of life; a certain viril
ity of mind, as well as boJY, is necessary in order
to judge and capacitate for so important a relation.
It is from our,ideal of what marriage ought to be;
not from our 'observation of the unions, called
marriages, mound us, that we must reason and
decide in the question before us.'
'ls it safe to argue thus on imaginary ideals?'
I think it is: ell perfection, in this world, is
ideal; bat not the less to be aimed at on that ac
count: else, where were the artist's aim, the be
liever's faith, the philorophe ' calmness? The
aspiration after perfection is the /Out of progress;
progress is the law of being; every pure. and high
desire of the' soul is a promise of its future nature,
a prophecy of its eVerlasting, development, a link
ing of time with eternity!
'Our estimate of the worth and uses of marriage
will greatly depend on the appreciation we have
formed of the meaning of life, and on the under
standing we have of our own nature. If that es
timate be noble and true, and if we correctly com
prehend ourselves, we may conceive somewhat of
the responsibility • we ought VI feel to act in the
light of highest reason, when seeking to secure to
ourselves the unspeakable benefits of this 'benig
nant ordinince of God to man,' as Milton nobly
designates it. Our ideas of marriage are gener
ally derived from the circumstances and examples
around us, and these are rarely the most favorable
to ■ correct judgement. In designing the structure
of life, we must be guided by truth and nature,
rather than by custom and example ; thus only
can we-insure beauty and harmony in the build
ing. Each of us is the architect of his MU ex:
istenee, we are given life and the materials to make
it great and real ; if we neglect to do so, it be
comes mean and tasteless. 'What is life,' asks the
wise Milton, 'without the vigor and spiritual exer
cise of life!' To establish this vigor, and to in
spire this spirituality, is marriage chiefly veluable,
and only when it thus rouses into highest life the
full maturity of existence is it worthy of that most
holy office which the Creator has ,assigned it, of
perpetuating His image do the earila. This high
est appointment is alone sufficient to denote the
intense importance of right and teal marriages, it
is impossible to estimate the increased wealth of
mind and soul that would accrue ,to the world if
the sanction of nature and truth. were sou tht in
renewing the ranks of life.."
"Marriage is a solemn thing, and must be a
communion of spiritual and temporal comforts, a
covenant of unfeigned love and peace, whereof both
the general and part'culvr end is the peace and
contentment of man's mind:' such is Milton's de
finitidn,and taking the full meaning of every word,
a just one. To insure contentment and commu
nion, marriage must be an entire friendship, ae
well as a perfect love.", .
• 'And yet, 1 doubt whether, even with these ele
ments, marriage can pioduce perfect happiness.'
•I agree with you, imperfection is stamped upon
our present state of being; our vision is finite,
our goodness fragmentary, our temper inconsist-
ant, and the natural result is—imperfection of life;
but we can iniagina perfection, and the ideal is
ever a presage of the future, given us to be an in
centive to endeavor. I have no doubt that if we
use life to our utmost ability, and in accordance
with our estimate of its full capacity, we shall be
rewarded accordingly; full satisfaction we must
not expect to find—it is bidden from us in the
ether of eternity.
'Do you not obscrvg.that, even in its - present
imperfect state, marriage atToida inure happiness
than there aro grounds to eipectt, The laws of
accommodition and acclimation set continually
and produie assimilation and • measure of con
tent, where the natures seemed most unsuited.'
•Tee, but obsirve, that in order to effect this se.
aimilation, the minds must deteriorate: •the law
of acclimation,like all the laws of nature, is of
beneficial tendency, buf when its use degenerates
into an abuse, it us no longer • blessing : when,
in its action on the mental nature, it transforms
higher info lower feelings, 'and lulls the restless
aspirations of the soul into apathy and quiescence.
it must be guarded' against as a snare, rather than
under as an excuse fur error. In many
other cases besides the one before us, does this law
of accommodation spread' its pacifying influence
over the waters of life, calming and silencing where
agitation arid change have not yet effected their
work of purification. While wo rake advantage
of its healing virtues, as iu the adversity of cir
cumstances we aro forc'ed to do, let us he careful
not to salve over wounds that require a probing
cure.'
.But the Marrin ge question—what are the rules
by which we may guide man's steps over the Hu-
hicon al life r
'Rules are impossible in the case: man must
learn the lesson of self-Jule ; education must be
indeed an educing, or leading out, of the whole
power of the mind into uee and actiorgand when

istence, the roan will act more in accordance with

pins with heads of raft, chains and tinge of gold
purple- and- white bitirins, and precious atones.
Entire artificial head dresses,' with all these orna

Members of all parties had deeirteff the lower
house to witness the splintering of lances between
Hobert Y. Heyne, of South Carolina, and Daniel

\ ful appearance, with his shirt collar turned over
his cravat, and his hair smoothly brushed across
his for head. lie was of the middle stature, and
well made. He was speaking energetically; his
eyes were peculiarly brilliant, and his face was ex
tremely pale; he moved up and down the aisles
formed between the desks, with a rapid and agile.'
ted step; his gestures wera.vehement, and he ap
peared to be under • high, state, of excitement.
We were peculiarly struck 'with his whole ap
pearance, and the tone of feeling evident in the
Chamber. Idr:CalhourGitten Vice President,was
in the chair, With his large, steady and vigilant
eyes witnessing the first great battle of his doc
trine, he seemed the.. very spirit of embodied in
terest; not a word, not a gesture escaped his lion
look. The Senate was deeply interested, a. •
matter of course. The language of Gen. Heine
was rich and vigorous ; and his powerful sketch
of the effect of the impost law on the South—the
description of her people—hiss own bold and
hazardous elocution and impetuous bearing—Mn
evidently makini a strong ' immien . on'r the
body. From tMO to time, att ar lion would be
directed from him to the gentlema who was ex
pected to answer him, and whom Gen: Mayne at

Cold, serene, dark, and meleoch - bly, that man;
thus assailed, set apart, bleak'and frowning as a
mountain rock ; hc evidently felt the gigantic in
fluences that were at work around him, but his
profound mind was strengthening itself for the con
