In ob scurity, in rctiromeMi 'scarcely known to the world, and never -asking to be known, ihese are good men In adversity, in povcr-' ty, amid temptations, amid all the severity of earthly trials, there are good men, -whose lives shed brightness upon the dark clouds that surround them, .licit true, if avtj must admit the sadlrulh, ihat many arc estranged from Infinite Goodness; that many are cold ly selfish and meanly sensual cold & dead to everything that is not wrapped up in their own earthly interest, or more darkly wrapped up in the veil of fleshly appetites. Uc it so; but I thank God, that it is not all that wo arc obliged to beliOve. No; there arc true hearts, amid the throng of the false and the faithless. There arc warm and generous hcarts. wh'ich the cold atmosphere of surrounding selfishness never chills, and eyes unused to. weep for personal sorrow, which often overflow" with sympathy for the sorrow of others. Yes," there arc good men, and true men, I thank them; I bless them for what 'they are. God from on high loth bless them; and he givcth his angels charge to keep them, and no where in the holy record arc these words moro precious or strong than those in which it is written, that God loveth the righteous ones. Such men there arc. Let not thclr prc cious Virtues be distrusted. As surely and as evidently-as some men have obeyed the calls of ambition and pleasure, so surely and so evidently have other men obeyed the voice-of-conscicnco; and "chosen rath er to suffer with the ( people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season." Why, every nreok man suffers in a conflict keener far than tho'contest for honor and applause. And there arc such' men, who, amid injury and insult, anmisconstruction, and the pointed finger, and the -scornful lip of pride, stand firm in their integrity and allegiance to a loftier principle, and still their throbbing hearts in prayer, and hush Uhcm to the gentle emotions of kindness and pity. Such witnesses there arc, even in this bad world, signs that a redeeming "work is going forward amid its mournful derelictions; proofs that it is not a world forsaken of heaven; pledges that it will not lie forsaken; tokens that cheer and touch every good and thoughtful mind, beyond all other power of earth to penetrate and enkindle it. An Irisli gentleman once -appeared in the court of (ho King's bench, as a security of n friendin the sum of three thousand pounds. Sergeant Davy, though he well knew the responsibilities of the gentleman", could jiot help his customary impertinence. "Well, mr, liow do you make yourself to bo worth three thousand pounds?" The gentleman very deliberately specified the- particulars up to two thousand nine hundred and forty pounds. "Aye," says Davy, "that is not enough by sixty.',' "For this sum," re-' pljcd the other, "I have the noto of one .Sergeant Davy, and I hope that he will have the honesty soon to discharge it." This set the court iu a roar; ho was for once abashed; and Lord Mansfield said: "Well, brotlier, Pthirik wc-may accopt the bail." The Three Wives. A late ministor of religion in Worcestershire, used to relate the following anecdote of ono of his friends, -n ho had been three timos married. The unfortunate speculator in matrimony had married his first wife a very worldly, ava ricious woman, who grasped at every thing, and never was satisfied. The second was a corpulent, easy, dirty, quiet sold, always in good humor, and satisfied wi;H every thing; the last was a most violent terma gant, who rendered his life misorable while &he lived. The good old man upo re viewing his past life, used to observe, "Aly friends, I have had variety enough in the conjugal relationi and may literally say I have married the -wprld, the flosh and -the devil."

'It was during harvest, atid the week before Richmond races, (York shire,) whither lie was travelling; and near which place he was born: to arrive there in time he hit upon the following expedient. Ho applied tb an acquaintance of his, a blacksmith, . to stamp on a padlock the words 'Richmond gaol,' with which, and a chain fixed to ono of his legs, he compo sedly went into a cornfield to sleep. As he expected, Jie was soon apprehended, and taken before a magistrate, who, after some deliberation, ordered two constables to guard him to Richmond; no time was to be lost, for Kilburn said he had not been tried, and hoped they would not let him lay till another assize. The constables, on their arrival at IJicgaol, accosted the gaoler with 'Sir, do you know this man?' 'Yes, very well; it is Kilburn; I have known him many years.' .

The following paragraph appeared in an Eastern paper, as an extract of a letter from Chicago, Illinois: "Interesting women arc in demand here for such the market is a sure one. I un derstand when the steamboats arrive hero from ButTaloc and Detroit, that nearly all business is suspended, and crowds of des olate, rich young bachelors flock to the pier, and stand ready to catch the girls as thcy land.

Atft) Democratic Review. 4"liN the first of July, 1837, will be published at Washington, District of Columbia, and deliv ered simultaneously in the principle cities of the U nilcd States', n new Monthly Magazine, under tlm abovo title, devofod to tho principles of the Demo cratic party. It has been apparent to many of tho rcficctinn? members of tho Dvmocrutic party of tho United, Slates, that a periodical for tho advocacy tuid dill'11. sion of their political principles, similar to thoso in such active and influential operation in England, is a tloidcratum, which it was very important to sup plya periodical which should unite uith the at tractions of n sound and vir-nrnii litnrnfnrn n nn. titical character capable of giving eflicicnt support lo the doctrines und measures of that party, now maintained by a largo majority of the people. Dis cussing tho great questions of policy before tho country, expending and advocating the Democratic doctrine through the most able pens that that party cen furnish, in ai tides of grcntcr length, moro com densed force, moro elaborate research, and more ele vated tone than is possible for lllo news-paper press, a Magazine of this character becomes an instrument of inappreciable valuo for the enlightenment and formation of public opinion, und for tho support of the principles which it advocate. By these menu?, by thus explaining and defending tho measures of tho great Democratic party, and by always furnish ing to tho public a clear and powerful commentary upon thoso complex questions of policy and party which- ro frequently distract the country, and upon which, imperfectly understood ns tlicy often .iro by friends, and misrepresented and distorted as they never fail lo bo by political opponents, it is of tho utmost importance that the public should ho fully and rightfully informed, it is hoped tho periodical in question may be made to exert a beneficial, ration al, and lasting influence on the public mind. Other considerations, which cannot lo too highly appreciated, will render tho establishment and suc cess of the proposed Magazine of very groat imjior tance. In the mighty struggle of antagonist principles which is now going on in society the Democratic Party of the United States stands committed lo Ihc World ns the depository and exemplar of those cardinal doctrines of uoliticnl fnftli will, ui,i.O, ii, cause of the People in every ago and country is i- u..,iiiiiu. vyiin:nj irum me wain 01 a romcmcnt means of concentrating the intollcctual energies of its disciples, thii party has hitherto been almost wholly unrepresented in the republic of letters, while the views and policy of its opposing creeds are daily advocated, by the ablest and most commanding ef forts of genius and learning. In tho United States Magazine the attempt will be made to remov c this reproach. The present is the time peculiarly appropriate for the commencement of such an undertaking. Tho Democratic body of the Union, after a conflict wliich tested to tho uttermost its stability and its principles, have succeeded in retain! ,tivo administration of the country. In tho conso- qucni comparative repose Irom political strife, the pe riod is suspicious for organizing and railing to iU) aid a new and powerfully ally of this character, interfe ring with none co-opcrnting with all. Co-ordinate with this main design orthc United States Magazine, no care norcost vill bo spared to rendcrit, in a literary point of view, honorable to tho country, and fit to cope in rigor ofrivalry with its European competitors. Viewing the English lan guage as the ncjjic heritage and conunon birthright of all who speak tho tongue of Milton and Shakes pear, it will bo the uniform object of its conductors to present only tho finest productions in tho various branches of literature, that can bo procured; and to difiuso tlie benefit of correct models of tasto and wor thy execution. In this department cxclusivencss of party, which h inseparable from tho political department of such a work, will have no place. Hero wo all stand on a neutral ground of equality and reciprocity, whero those univ crsal principles of tasto to which wo aro all alike nubject will alono be recognised as tho common aw. Our political principles cannot be compromised, but our common literature, it will bo our prida to. cherish and extend, with a liberality of feeling an hi assod by partial or minor views. As tho United States Magazine is founded on tho hroadest bam which the means and iullucnco of tho Democratic party in tho United States can present, it is intended to render it in every respect a thorough Aatwnal Work, not merely designed for ephem eral interest and attraction, but to conlinuo of perma nent historical value. With this view n considera. bio portion of each-number will bo appropriated to the following subjects, in addition to tho general feu lures referred to have.
