from the Ladies’ Companion,
Da Women choose their Husbands?
A very clever correspondent has sent us a
letter containing query ; and site makes out
her case very ably. She says, “I have been
married my years; the match was consid
ered a verjfJgood one, suitable in every res
pect— and fortune.:' Every one
*aid I had made a good Now I-loved:
my huabnfid when I married him, because
he bad, by unwearied assiduity, succeeded in
gainini' my‘affections; but bad choice been
my privilege, I certainly should not have
chosen butt. As I look at him in his easy
chair, sleeping before the fire, a huge dog at
bis feet, a pipe peeping out of one of the many
pockets of his shooting coat, I can but think
bow different he is from what I would have
cho-en. My first penchant was for a fash
ionable clergyman, a perfect Adonis; he was
o flatterer, and cared but little for me, though
! have not yet forgotten the pang of his des
ertion. My next was a lawyer; a young
man of immense talent, smooth, insinuating
manners; but he too after talking, walking,
dancing, end flirting, left me in the lurch.
Either of these would have been my “choice,’
hid Iso chosen; but my present husband
chose me, and therefore I married him; and
this, I cannot help thinking, must be the way
with half the married folks of my acquaint
ance.”
There is sound sense and truth in this;
hut.is it not better that men should choose
than that they should be chosen? And is
Hot our correspondedt probably much happi
er with her present husband, &hooting-jncket,
pipe,. and dog inclusive, than she would have
been with either the fashionable clergyman,
or the clever lawyer? Men are proverbially
inconstant; and, after marriage, when the
trouble and inconvenience of children are
begming to be fell, and when (the most try
ing time of all) the wife begins to neglect her
husband for her children; unless there was
originally a very strong attachment on the
husband's side, there is little chance of hap
piness.
A wife's affection, on the contrary, always
increases after marriage; and even if she
were indifferent before, no well disposed wol
man can help loving the father of her chil
dren. Children, on her side, are a bond of
union, and though she may appear for them
to neglect some of those little attentions which
men seem naturally to expect, it is only be
cause tho child is the more helpless being of
the two, and (he true woman always, takes
the side of those who ore most feeble.
It is a strange, but melancholy fact, that
*hen young girls (ancy themselves in love,
they are seldom if ever happy if they marry
the object of their choice. The fact is, in
most cases, they find the husband they have
chosen, quite a different person as an individ
ual, from the imaginary object he had ap
peared as a lover. The imagination in most
girls is stronger than the judgment; and as
soon as the first idea of love is awakened in
a female heart, the imagination is set to work
to fancy a lover, and all possible and impos
sible perfections are assembled together in
the young girl’s mind to endow the object of
her stjgrct- idolatry,—The’-first man whose
appearance and manners attract a girl on her
entrance into society, is generally invested by
her with the halo of these stecret thoughts and
•he^fancies herself violently in love without
the least real knowledge of the man sfid,sup
poses herself in love with. No wonder, then
that if she marries she is miserable. The
object of her love has vanished never to re
turn ; and she finds herself chained for life la
a man she detests, because she has been de
ceived in him.
On .ilie other hand the man who, with er.
ery pardonable vanity, fancied himself loved
f.ur bis own merits, and who was perfeoily
unconcious of the secret delusions of the girl,
becomes, when her friends and relations on
both sides share in the same feelings—“what
would she have?”—they cry—“she married
for love, and see the consequences.”
The consequences are, indeed, in such cas
es generally sad enough. Wen the first delu
sion is dissipated, and the truth, in all its hard
and stern reality, comes forth from the evil
that has been thrown raund it, both parties
feel indignant at the false position in which
they find themselves. Mutual recriminations
lake place, each accusing the other of deceit
and ingratitude ; while the apparent injustice
of these accusations, which is felt by each
party alternately, first wounds the feeling*,
and then, if repealed*rankles in the wound
till it becomes-incurable.

A Qousfcryof Ooptrgrfctigfc:
Califotgit)* including that ponion of Utah
mountains
of all others, a
or eight months
are speaking of
of Cialirorniajfc one of
iieuial ml D inle rrffpied sun
ereeksfwid days
of sunshine, and
this'makesour winter j-andyet the tempera*
lure is so mild that' freezes.” Some
seasona'we gelmoch'more of drenching rains
than we have the.past winter; but ishen it
does rain, of snow even, we have little or no
wind to give force or terror to the storm.
The whole’earth for months together is
either one continuous bed of dowers, a dry
, and arid waste, (except where forest trees
abound) or drenched with soaking rains.
There is really no half way work about it.
And yet with hardly a shower for six months
in summer, California produces Ibo largest
trees in the world. Its largest lakes lie nl-,
most upon the very summit of its highest
mountains, and though surrounded by eternal
snows, their waters never freeze. On the
east of the Sierras, the rivers run inland, and
instead of discharging their waters into the
ocean they are dried up 1 With, a climate
unequalled for its salubrity, and our almost
endless forest of great beauty, we have very
f?w birds, and such as we have, seldom if
ever sing, high among the mountains. The
face of (he country one uninterrupted aucces*
sion of ups and downs, there is very little
level land here. High hills, deep gorges and
canons characterise the mountain slopes on
either side. Our valleys are almost on a lev.
el with the waters of the oceaq, and our
mountains are so high that they are ever
decked with snow.
' The extremes of morality and dissipation
are seen everywhere, and Sunday is the great
business and market day. Our women are
either transcendently beautiful or homely as
Diggers, Our people are rich and making
money, or miserably hard up; or one day
poor, and the next counting their gold by
pounds. A man may be without a dime in
his pocket, and yet be treading .upon gold at
every step. He may hove no wife, or he
may have a dozen, just as he chooses, and a
whole church to sustain him in bis privileges
and principles. Animals, supposed to have
attained their full growth in the States, on'
being brought ..here, increase in size and
weight. Nor is this phenomena entirely con
fined to the brute specie;, whilst lumber
made into furniture of almost any description
expands and shrinks largely endwise.
Thousands live in the enjoyment of perfect
health from year to year; many die from
disease or violence. Kind friends may min
ister to the dying, or the taunts and jeers of
fiendish men may mock at the dying throes
of their victim. Some are buried in the
quiet tomb, others upon the burning pyre are
hastily resolved into their original elements,
and some in their last repose occupy ’ places
unknown tomeo ; while thousands have, and
other thousands may, return to their eastern
homes, and with their families around them,
pass down through life, ever grateful to a
kind Providence for haying directed their
thoughts and guided their footsteps to the
land of gold, extremes and contrarieties.-

A witty correspondent sends ns the follows
ing notice of a brief street colloquy recently
held tat ween a maiden lady of a little beyond
a certain age, and a newly married feminine :
“Sol you are going to keep house, are you 1
said the elderly maiden.
“Yes,” was the reply,
“Going ;lo have a girl, I suppose,” was
queried.
The newly made wife colored and then
quietly responded that—
“ She really didn’t know whether it would
be a boy or a girl.”
