Husband, Dr. WeatirilL •
To VIZ SENATE .1.4 . 1) ROMS op REPILMUNTAT;VILS
or rus CO3IX9NWEALIII or Pcsrstrixsaus :
The humble and respectful memorial of
Isabella Wetherill respectfully represents—
That I have leztined with feelings of deep re
gret and sorrow that my name has been again
presented to your honorable bodies, and that
my husband has again seen fit to lay before
you a petition praying for a divorce, based
upon allegations of my negligence, miscon
duct and want of fidelity . to him. Of this
petition I received no notice, nor can I learn
that it was ever made public in the ordinary
reports of the proceedings of your honorable
bodies, prepared for the public press; and I
was only mdebted to the disinterested kind
ness of friends, who advised me that certain
proceedings were taking which required "me,
from self-respect, from the love I bore my
children, and from my consciousness of inn°•
cence, to give them immediate attention. Aly
eldest son (who, with all my children, ; has
been; and I thank my God with all christian
sincerity for it, still is faithful, true and de
voted to me in my sadness and affliciion,)
visited Harrisburg to learn the truth, and on
his 'return yesterday I received for the first
time definite information of what was.daing,
and how near I was to condemnation and my
children to disgrace, without notice or hear•"
ing. I cannot suppose it possible that your
honorable bodies will judge and decide or me,
my righti, my children's interests, and their
mother's character, without giving her' and
them a full opportunity of meeting every ac
cusation and disproving every charge. • It; by
law, I have such a right, I claim it—if I have
not, I appeal to your sense of sacred justice
to give it to me. Indeed I am not guilty in
act or thought of any of the things of which
Ism accused, in the printed memorial of my
misguided husband, and which I havenow
before me. They cannot, believe me, be
proved—no witness can maintain them; and
if any profess so to do, I desire and claim the
right to be present when such evidence- is
heard—that my friends and counsel may be
there to aid me—that secret testimony shall
not harm me—that my own witnesses' may
be examined and heard—tharmy life and my
conduct as a woman, a wife, and a mother,
,may; be proved and made known to you.; but
until this is done, I pray you do not condemn
Me and give to the short remnant of my life
more unhappiness and sorrow than past years
of sadness have caused. The evidence taken
for the last session of the Legislature' does
not apply io the new and different state of
facts presented by the new memorial ; and I
claim the right, if I haveit, that what should
be given in support of the one now before
you shall be only taken after notice to me.
It is not my intention to trouble you with
a reply in detail to the memorial which- my
deceived and unhappy husband has presented.
I shall not go through the history of my, early
life ; nor show to you how much orlow lit
tle, nor what species of kindness was hiearly
'life rendered to the members of my family—
nor what profits my husband realized by put
chasing their property ; nor shall I lay before
you the bill rendered my sister's husband,
after her marriage, for her board during the
period she had been a.guest in my husband's
house. I do desire to say that the expense
of a great portion of my sister's education
was paid from the limited means Of my
mother. She subsequently married Dr.
Wethenll's nephew,
and when a bill was
sent to him for her board during her stay in
my house, I thought and still think it was
not just to magnify her residence with me
info a deep and lasting obligation, for which
she and myself have been properly grateful.
If my husband means to charge me with
extravagance and disregard of his pecuniary
interests, I beg most solemnly to deny it.
Had I desired to participate'even in the gaie
ties of those who were his friends and my
own—which I did not—my own feeble health
would not for many years have permitted
and it is surely not just to reproach me with
having enjoyed those comforts which it was
within his means readily to give, and which,
before his heart was turned against me. were
enjoyed by us in common. Never until the
occurrence of these sad details was it sug
gested to me that my mode of life was other
than consistent with his desires and wishes.
I been the mother of fifteen children to
this my husband, who now seeks to disown
and disgrace me ; twelye of them are now
alive—in them my hope, my pride, my con•
solution is placed. I desired no extravagant
expenditures for town or country house—my
hope on earth was a peaceful and happy life,
to educate my children in virtue and christi
anity,and to make them industrious and
usefu.
Indeed there is no less fairness of what is
said of my temper and deportment lo my
husband.—lt is easy, very, very easy, for one
who should defend, to make charges against
his wife ; but I promise you, that it you will
bin give me time to defend myself, that I
will show by all the members of my hus
band's own family, by friends, by all who
have known me, or lived with me, or seen
me at home or road, that these ch argesi are
without foundation. In the testimony, that
was taken last winter, I refer with pride to
the evidence given by the brother and sister
of my husband. Mr.. John Price Wetherill
said, from my marriage until my removal to
the country, during which time he was a con
stant visiter at our house, he had never known
or seen any thing which induced him' to be
lieve that I was faithless in my duties to my
husband or my children; and Mrs. Gumbes,
my husband's sister, says that so far as she
could judge, I "was a faithful and affection
ate mother and wife." These statements
came from those who were called as witness
es against me—judge me even by' them.
The dying words of my mother's - husband
were those of kindness and commendation
to Me for my conduct as a wife. Believe
me, I have not forgotten them, or neglected
since to deserve them. Nor have I ever re
fused to execute any or erhy deed which
ever required my acknowledgment. I won
der that such a charge should be repeated.
Mr. John Price Wetherill; in his testimony
given last winter, disproved it. It will be
found that be said expressly that I had never
refused, but was willing to execute the deed :
but my unfortunate husband had his heart so
turned from ine; that he it was that refused
to complete the paper, because my name was
in it as his wife. I vouch the evidence on
the files of one of your honorable Wiles for
the truth of what I say. Need Ido more to
show you the injustice with which I am
.treated, nor what must have been theitate of
my husband's mind towards me, when in
such a manner he refused to associate- his
name with mine.
Never have I, by word, act or deed; desired
or attempted to alienate the affections of his'
children—never have I attempted to influence
his servants to leave him. No, no—it was
my hope and wish to reclaim m%' husband—'
to make his home a glad one, and his children'
a blessing to him, in happiness, as they hive
been to me in misfortune. •

GENERAL ADVERTISER,
refuge was known to Sirs. Price Wetherill.
I consulted with my friends—with my hus
band's relatives. I submitted tom)? counsel,
Mr. Horace Binney, the truth. I was advi
sed not to return—in the most solemn man-
ner I was cautioned against him ; but I
hoped still for happier times, when my hus
band wotild no longer so set; and f could
~ot Lye without my children. -I went back.
Against their advice and wishes, I determin
ed to try once more. I did so in vain. I
again was compelled to leave my home—my
presence' gave no pleasure, but a restraint ;
and to my husband's- nephew I went for
protection. FOr my husband's sake, and
for my children's sake, I do not desire to
enter into the, details of the circumstances
which.; drove the from my home. My hus
band knows them, and his family knows
them. Nothing : 1)1;1 the sternest necessity,
you will believe, I trust, compelled me to
go. If lam driven to give the evidence on
this subject for the protection. of my charac
ter and conduct, the disgrace and contumely
which shall fall on my children, has'not
been produced by the.
A reference is made in this memorial to a
settlement made upon me and my children,
during the pendency of the application, du
ring last winter. The circumstances atten
dilig it were then fully made known to the
Legislature in a letter from my counsel, of
which I send a copy.
I truthfully stated what occurred. I had
more testimony in reference to my treat
ment-by my husband—it was communicated
frankly to those who-acted as his counsel
last winter ;,and that communication resul-
ted in securing to me, for myself and my
children, $5,000 per
_year ; and from that
sum they are Maintained. Nine of them
are still to be educated froni it ; and in all
the charges made again s t me by my hus
band, Jhank God, there is but one which
hints even that I am not now as I ever have
been—patiently. faithfully and humbly dis
charging my duty towards them. If he
had considered this sum too large for their
maintenance, Support and education, in the
manner he desired, (which all acquainted
with the expenses of this large city will
say it was not) it was optional with him to
give it. It was voluntary on his part. It
met the approbation of his counsel and his
family—his own brother is the trustee. To
me the most important right, secured by
that agreement, was -the absolute and un
controlled possession of my children—to
have them under my own roof—in my own
exclusive care—and so' to see that neither
in mind or morals should they be injured by
contact with th ose whom I consider unfit
associates and companions. My friends.and
counsel advised me, under the circuaistan-
ces then presented, (for then there was no
attack upon my character and fidelity even
insinuated) to be silent, and to spare my
husband and my children the consequences
which must ensue from Jny producing the
evidence in my favor ; and even now, per
haps, I might , have been content to have
been judged by the evidence against me,
had my husband been satisfied with restor
ing his claim to your interference, upon the
grounds that were presented' to the Legisla
ture. But when it is asserted in the me
morial that I have assented directly or indi
rectly, to the passage of this Bill,—when it
is asserted that this settlement was made
on an agreement on my part not to oppose a
divorce, 1 can but meet it with a solemn
and truthful denial. 1 said then, through
my counsel, as L say now to you, that I
never would assent to the passage of the
Bill, and that my rights and interests, and
feelings, must be judged by those to whom
the law had confided them.
If such was my determination then, it has
been strengthened by what has since occured.
I find in this memorial, for the first time, an
insinuation against my .conduct as a faithful
wife=that I went to Cape May against my
husband's wish, and that my: conduct there
was the' subct of general observation and
remark. M y own son went with me and se
cured my apartment—my feeble health, and
the advice of my physician, sent me there,
—I was in the same house there with my
husband's sister. Mrs. Gumbes, to whom I
have referred, and with other of his relatives
—my husband refused to accompany me ;
ant, he expressed, in the presence of my
children, a hope that I never would return.
Such is the truth-but I cannot shut my
eyes to the fact that more is meant than is
expressed by the insinuation.' Nay, more, I
have heard that secret affidavits have been
obtained by my husband, which, in bolder
terms, accuse me of impropriety ; and I am
told that these are confidentially exhibited to
you, gentlemen, under the pretences of a de
sire to keep my dishonor from the world.—
Whatever heretofore may . have been my
wishes to be silent and quiescent under all
my sadness and sufferings, they leave me now
—you surely will not suffer me to be thus
secretly tried and condemned. I know not
when, nor where, nor how, norwith whom,
lam charged with faighlesnesi to my husband ;
but be it when, and where it may, to you, and
before my God, I deny its truth. Hear me in
my defen.e--rny youth has long since passed
away—of :Ai/ world, little remains to me—my
twelve children love and cling to me, and I be
seech you to su f fer me to lurve4he opportunity
to prove to you, and, and to them, that I am
worthy to beso loved as their mother—guilt
less of want of virtue.
What madness ! what spirit of evil can
have instigated my husband thus to charge
me, and secretly to prepare the means to de-
I stripy the character of his children's mother,
and his wife for twenty six years, I cannot
tell.—no such idea was suggested by a human
being, on his former application to your pre
decessors,;; and in my soul I acquit him from
sincerely believing it.
In Febivary last, when the arrangement
to which I referred was made, he signed an
agreement with his brother Mr. J. P. Weth
erill, and myself, that I should " forever after
take and keep in her" [my] " custody and
care all the children ;" and that " their per
sons, education and maintenance should be
under the exclusive management and abio
lute control of their mother," [myself.l—
it be that these things are true? [myself
Can
the extravagant and bold and bad woman
my wretched husband would have you be
lieve, can it be that he would thus surrender
'to my care the morals and education of his
little children his daughters ?! ! Do you
think he can have supposed me guilty, (as
by his memorial he attempts to insinuate,
and by these secret affidavits,l tun told; main
tains,) yet so trust me? If there be, a feel
ing deep in any parent's heart, above all
pnce it is that his children should be far' ,
away from mice and immorality ; and had I
been even suspected, it Cal3llot be that my
husband would so have confided to me, ab
solutely and without control, his and my
young and innocent children.' Call upon

Since 1847 I have lived in the hope (do
not deprive me of it,) that the evil spell that
noW entangles and crushes my unfortunate
husband, may be broken—that in mind, and
as Of old, he may be restored to his home and
his family—that he may still look with pride
and affection upon his children—and that if
it be so, After my few remaining years shall
have passed, that he will yet ou(liv,e his
present state of mind. At least I hope that
you will not hastily disgrace me before my
children, and my family friends ; nor so judge
me as that, when , I am gone, my children
shall, as they grow up, think tht their mo

INCONSISTENCIES OF GE Nll7B.
The reader may remember an article in our
paper, a short time since, headed "Littlen es s
oUGreat Men," in whicli some curious anec
dotes of the celebrated mathematician Lap
lace were related. - The singular meanness
wilich that great man is said to have exhibi
ted in some of his transactions, has brought
to' our mind many similar acts of littleness
and inconsistency, which history has recorded
of great and good men. It is undoubtedly
true that a mean or inconsistent actor re
mark strikes us with tenfold power, when
coming from a man of great parts; but it
sometimes seems as if nature had made her
favorite children inore susceptible to these
weaknesses of human nature than men of
common mould. She gives dazzling talents,
but withholds common sense. She endows
with a mind fitted to soar among the stars,
but leaves it to become the slave of the most
sensual of passions. She stamps genius
upon the forehead, and littleness upon the
soul. Lest Paul should become exalted above
Measure when he. was lifted up to the. third
heaven, there was given to him a thorn in
the flesh, to remind him that he had not yet
done with the world, So it is with,- those
blessed with unusualirntellectual gilts. Their
petty acts and many inconsistencies and
weaknesses serve to curb their pride, and de
ter mankind from worshipping them. Nature
works by a law of compensations, and after
all perhaps her favors are not so unequally
distributed as we are wont to imagine.—
' What she denies in one thing is_often made
up in another.
"A man of letters," says Whipple, •• is
often a man of two natures. These two
often clash sadly. Seneca Wrote in praise
of poverty, on a table formed of solid gold,
with two millions of of, pounds let out on
usury. Sterne was a very selfish man ;
yet a writer unexcelled for pathos and char
ity, Sir Richard Steele wrote excellently
well on temperance, when he was sober.—
Dr. Johnson's essays on politeness were ad
mirable ; yet his "you lie, sir !" and "you
don't understand the question, sir !" were
too common' characteristics of colloquies.—
He and Dr. Shebbeare were both pensioned
at the same time. The report immediately
fle`w, that the king had pensioned two bears,
a he-bear and a she-bear. Young, Whose
gloomy fancy cast such sombre tinges on
life, was in society, a brisk, lively man,
continually pelting his hearers with puerlie
puns. Mrs. Carter, fresh from the stern,
dark grandeur of the Night Thoughts, ex
pressed her amazement at his flippancy.—
"Madam," said he, "there is much differ
ence between writing and talking. The
same poet's favorite theme was the nothing.
ness of worldly . things; his favorite pursuit
Was rank and riches. Had Mrs. Carter no-
ticed this , incongruity,she might have added,
"Madam, there is much difference between
writing didactic' poems and living didactic
poems." Bacon, the most comprehensive
and forward-looking of modern intellects,
and in feeling one of the- most benevolent;
was meanly and wickedly ambitious of
place." •
Many other 'grear names might be added
to the few instances -of inconsistency enu
merated by Mr. Whipple. Sir ' Thomas
Moore, in his Utopia, expressed very tolerant
views respecting differences in religious be
lief, and condemned the common resort to
coercion and violence, for the conversion of
unbelievers ; but he persecuted the Protes
tants with as much intolerance and severity
'as his narrow minded cotemporaries. Lord
Herbert, after completing his deistical work,
the first in which deism was ever reduced
to a 'systern,—took his manuscript, and
kneeling in his chamber, devoutly prayed
to God that he would grant him a sign
Whether or not to publish it. "I had no
sooner spoken these words," he adds, "but
a loud, though yet gentle noise, came from
'heaven' (for it was like nothing on earth,)
`which did so comfort and cheer me, that I
took my.pention as granted, and that I had
the sign I,,demanded, whereupon also I re
'solved to 'Print my book." Here was a man
who did not believe in divine revelation to
mankind necessary, seriously asking for a
,special revelation of the will of God. re
specting the publication of his book !
Even the genius .of Shakspeare is not
without its shadow. His sonnets, beauti
ful as many of them are, represent the poet
in a character in which we do not love to
behold him, add we almost wish, with Mr.
Hallam, that he had never written them.—
"His excessive and elaborate praise - of
yOuthful beauty in a man seems derogatory
to his genius, and savors of adulation ; and
when we find him excuse this friend for rob
bing him of his mistress—a married female
—and subjecting his • noble spirit to all the
pangs of jealousy, guilty love, and blind
misplaced attachment, it is painful and diffi-
Cult to believe, that all this weakness and
folly can be associated with the name of
Shaltspeare, and still more that he shOuld
record it in verse which he believed would
descend to future ages."
Sis Thomas Browne, one of the most
learned and original writers of the 17th
century, not only- believed in witches, ap
paritions and diabolical illusions, but grave
ly obseries -"that to those who would at
tempt to teach animals the art of speech,
the dogs and cats that usually speak unto
witches may afford some encouragement."
Lawrence Sterne was -- rt notable. bundle of
of incongruities, eccentricities and affecta
tions. He was a clergyman, but dissolute
and licentious ; a sentimentalist, whose pen
dropt tears for all animate and inanimate
nature, but hard-hearted' and selfish in his
intercourse with others. He published a
volume of sermons, "but," says the poet
Gray, "you see the author often tottering on
the verge of laughter, and ready to throw
his penwigin the face of the audience."—
Pope does not escape - a similar charge of
inconsistency ; Cowper wondered that the
seine pen that wrote the Danciad, could in
dite,
Hume,in his Essays,has noticed a remark
able instance of this ailing of great minds,
in the writings and habits of the classic
author Sallust, who "abounds in praises of
the old rigid Roman virtue, though him
self the, most egregious instance of modern
luxury and corruption ; speaks contemptu
ously of the Grecian eloquence, though the
most' eloquent writer m the world ; nay,
employs preposterous digressions and decla
mations" ta thispurpo4e, though a model of
taste and correctness. -TO such an illustri

found united in agreat mind, it is needless
to add limy-thing more, though similar illus

of history. It. - tau do 1).8 no harm axe

Now gentle Spring retums—her genial health
Warms Nature through; whileymfyingshoWeis
'Awake her from the winter sleep of death
And tanning breezes call forth budding flOWeis.
An emerald-vest, now decorates the trees ;+-
A velvet carpet for Earth's floor, the just%

to busy comporues, too quickly pass,-
To suck delights from blossoms, which around,
Their dewey fragance Bread o'er allthei air;
While merry warblers mate the woods resound;
As now, to woo their mates they fast repair;
Last bright-winged butterflies, heaven-bontsp,
And sighing Summer, next, leads on the Tro lli ng

A SONG
I hive loved thee as I never
Loved a mortal heretofore;
And each moment I endeavor .
To forget, but love thee more.
When the heart its worship giveth
Where it meets no love again,
Then a death within it liveth,
Which doth poison every •vein.
And thy look is like the chilling L
Fall of ice on Southern air, i
When the summerts distilling
Balm and music everywhere..
Thou halt changed my nemt>teweet honey,
Into bitter gall - and brine,
Yet my soul would still be sunny,
Caught it not a gloom from thine.
Fare thee well ! but, oh, remember,
When the spring-time lights thy way,
Thou lost make my lee December,
While it should be sunny May.
Should my spirit dee before thee
To the angels' world above,
Sainted still, 'twill hover o'er thee,
And protect thee witktta love.

With higher aims than now—when MIA aballcall
Each man his brother—each shall tell to each

SWEDISH BRIDALS.
When a young girl is to be - married in
Sweden, she dressess herself in all her bri
dal
garments, and places herself in the mid
dle of the parlor, standing. A circle - of
bright lights are placed about her, and the ,
groomsmen also come into the room, bear
ing each a brilliantly lighted chandelier.—
The
doors and windows are then thrown
open, every one who chooses can come and
see and criticise the bride .as they please.—
Impudent fellows will walk about het' and
besides criticising her appearance, which
they do within her hearing they will use
some such expressions as—" Well, so and
so is to be married at last—she has been long
enough about it.—l pity the man who mar- ;i !
ries her," &c.—Females, too, will appear .'
about her in masks, and make still more
cutting and insulting remarks. ,After stand
ing thus for an hour and a half, the Ordeal •
is ended, the throng is dispersed, and the •
wedding takes_place in the presence of the -
immediate friends of the = parties. After a -
dinner party, the guests approach the hos
tess, wbo stands in. the middle of the room,
and each returns thanks. This beautiful
custom
_prevails even among - the simple
peasant 'families. After the meal is over,
~
the children approach their mother and ta
king her by the hand, say, "Thank you
ma'am." The guest, if one there be, mere
ly "Thanks." -
SCHOOL CHARACTER.
Every schoolboy has a character. Let us
go among the group of them and all doubts
will vanish. There is.•selfish Harry, lying
Tom, slovenly Peter," gluttonous Jim, sly
Charley, cowardly Dick, and fighting Jack ;
as well as generous George, truthful Joseph,
and honest Bob. Ask for evidence that these
descriptions are truly applied, and we shall
find the same rules of judging are adopted
here that are adopted among grown men.—
There is a commandinc , b public sentiment in
every play-ground and the same right prin
ciples that secure for a grown man, and a
great man, the respect and confidence of his
tellow citizens, will—other things being
equal—secure for a boy the love and confi
dence of other, boys. A long face may be
put on—a fawning or hypocritical' boy may
play a game with an easy and credulous
teacher, and for a while retain a false place
in his estimation. But the veil is too thin.
The true character comes mit broadly in the
play-ground or on the ice, and the boy„that
deserves to be loved is loved., As it is
among the-school-boys so it is all the world
over. An honest and virtuous) man may
sometimes be unjustly suspected; and the
breath of the slanderer may tarnish for a
moment au innocent repuuition, but theright
side comes up sooner or later, and truth tri
umphs.
