Til It ETC STAGES OP WOMAN'S I.OVK.
There is a love in parly life
Which shuns puradennd wsrdly strife.
And seeks, contemned the princely dome,
In humble cot. u happy himio.
More ynrgeotis limn the pomp f kings,
Thft coral and the pearl it brings,
And all th glory of the skies,
In living diamond beaming eyes.
The rose's lilooni it yields to view.
And lends its fragrance with its hue ;
The plsdilenin-. smile, the balmy kiss,
VTilh looks of fondness, thought, of bliss,
Feeling that scarce know worldly leaven,
And dreams nfecstacy and heaven.
Life's dull anxieties above:
Such, such is woman's early love?
There is a love of elder prowth.
Less dazzling than the love of youth,
Where gentle looks anil anxious care
Aspire, the husband's toil to share;
Which seeks its solace and employ,
Providing for her children joy;
Which owns no happiness complete
Till they are healthy, clean, and neat ;
Which strives to spate the humble stori
Aud make that liltle something more ;
Love, which, the fiuiral table spread,
A blessing breathes on daily bread;
Which, sr.iruii!? finery and pride,
V.Mitts in comforts self-d-nied.
And teaches man 't's vain to roam
For pleasure to compare with home :
'J'hU calms, as that the heart could move;
And this is woman's noon-day love.
There is love in a latT stage,
When pain aud sickness grow on age,
When he. so active once, and mi y,
Perceives approach his closing day ;
When failing strength and tottering limb,
And sunken cheek and eye grows dim,
And faltering voice aud visage wan,
Have to a spectre changed the man ;
Then, love, by the fond wife jmssessed,
Too vast, too grand, to be ev pressed,
)elights assiduously to ply,
And soothes with tender sympathy;
Consoles the mourner lor the past.
And loudly soothes him to the lust.
This love, in hours the tuoi-t forlorn,
Sui parses that of youth's bright mom ;
Jlitl'crent from that which marked lilt's prim.-
Though not so brilliant, more sublime ;
This love, from heaven derived its birth,
Confesses no alloy of earth ;
It lilts the sufferer from his woe,
Above the care of things b 'low,
And points tobiighter scenes above :
And this is woman's final love!

My Dnjovra ChiMihex: Yon have united

love and cherish each other. In order that ymi
may ho able to Veep your nmlnal vows, t con

sooner or later tlroit deeds will be Irowrrrd
upon. .
Much, very much, depends upon your person
al deportment towards each other ; a mutual
confidence and habitual kindness are all impor
tant to domestic happiness. A respect for each
others' opinions should ever lie cherished. The
husband who duos not consult his wife in all of
his important concerns, no matter to what to
lations of life thry pertain, acts foolishly. Her
opinion should be respected and referred to in
all matters, and particularly those which con
nect themselves with household allinrs.
If the wife differs in judgment with her bus-
hand, and maintains her opinion in preference
to any mutter in which her happiness is npially
' . :
concerned with his, no matter hw
continent lie l
may lie, ho should not act contrary to her wish
es.

that he will consult hia wife, and if she has no
objections, then he will consent to be bound. If
I had followed this course, it would have saved
me thousands.
In the course of time, incidents will occur in
your family, about which you will naturally en
tertain a difference of opinion. Tiiat differ
ence should at all times lie expressed with kind
ness of maimer and feeling, and marked re
spect for each other's judgment.
Never buy what you do not need, and avoid
indebtedness as much as pssibl
You will think it strange for me to tell you
that you should cukivatu a fondness for the so
ciety of each other, anil never, under any cir-
ruuiritnnf oft. ftive. or seem to irive. n nrelereneo

to the company of another.
Regular hours are all-important to domestic
comfort, to health aud happiness. Early rising
when in health, Contributes to continue and con
firm that health, and is important to those who
depend upon tlieir exertions for a living. The
constitution of man is best satisfied with eight
hours1 repose; and the remaiuder of the day
should be devoted to useful employment, and
the services of our Maker.
"Remember the Nahhnth day and keep it holy,"
is a divino commandinert. I pray yon ;ny
children, learn early its importance, it was a
remark of ny Venerable moth' r, oiten made to
me, thai "no pood evcrc'.me. of Sunday work."

Avoid, tny son, d ssipalidri 'of al kinds-, and
eschew the company of the wild end evil ciis-
posed, a rdt would the pestilence. You have
noV ho fondness for drini, ami it would be a
great point gained, if you were at this early pe-
riml of life never to taste urdent spirits cr in- I
toxicatihg driiius. i
tn your deportment towards your fellow meir,
be fririk, Cftndid, Cpeti-hearled, honest aud just j
lii all your dualities; and ncVer permit yeutsell
to do an act which your conscience Condemns,
or wi'.rcn you wvnM not leel willing sliouul bo
exposed to the public view, in all your dealing',
whether public, private or otlieial. Take no
advantage ot yottr follow-mi'li in any tntitract,
and never to teiiited by the hope oT gain to
withhold from your neighbor that which of
right and justice belongs lo him. Never insult
a man intentionally ; and if you injure him by
word or deed, in due season and apt manner
make to him tho umendb honorable.
If yotl respect the right of other, yoil will
soon learn how to respect and maintain your
own. Never permit yourself to get out of
temper ; but leafn to command that and regu
late it. A petulant man is neither agreeable
nor useful, lio put ie tit in difficulties, and sub
missive under the chastisements of an overrul
ing Providence. The profession yod have se
lected, is one ofgreat responsibility, and of high
honor and distinction. In its pursuits fame may
lie obtained, il honor be consulted. I cannot iu
this letter tcnluie upon alt the adtit and rults
necessary loinsrjTe respect for the lawyer;
honesty, industry, punctuality, and fidelity,
thou HI alwayi be conspicuous traits of hia cha
racter.
A prompfattcntion tohuainess, lnmlness and 1 eJ
idignity of manner, are not incompatible with a
freo and frank intercourse with tho world.
If you meet with your fellow man in poverty,
and nnabhj to pay you for professional labor, do
not refuse cm '.hat account to engage for him.
The reflection is ennobling that one has aided
professionally, an honest poor man. Never ne-
irlert the esiian nf the Toiitnw snrl tViO fatherless
1 haw, (without meaning to boast,) done
nvich for those thus bereaved, in my profession,
without fee or pecuniary reward, and 1 am
none the poorer for it.
One other admonition I will give, and enjoin
its strict observance; never use your client's
money, but pay it, as soon aayou collect it, to
th.1 uttermost farthing.
That the God of all grace may smile upon
you both and crown you his, in this and the
next world, ia the prayer of your fond father.

A Horrible Instance op Fanaticism, cau-
t sing the death of an individual, is recorded in
the London papers, of some of the Mormonites
nr "Ijitler Dnv Rnints " At lhf wnrtia nt thn
Grand Junction Railway Comoanv at Crewe.
there are four or five hundred workmen of all
religions denominations, among the rest some
Mormons. The priest of the order is a black-
smith, of the name of Cartwright and among
the devotees is a fanatic, named Pugmirc, also
a smith or engineer. The latter waa married
....
to a respectaiiie woman ot aooui thirty years oi
age, who had borne him three children, and
was within three months of next confinement.
She had steadily refused to adopt the fanatical
opinions of her husband, an J much altercation

had ensued in consequence. Vorn out, how-

eternally loaf, she declared her intention to one
of her neighbors to obey her husband's wishes,
being satisfied, as she said, that unless she did
so "she should never have any peace with him."
The night selected proved to be cold and dark ;
the poor woman was plunged into the stream.
Tho priest having hold of her naked arm, un
fortunately let go his grasp, and the current,
running like a mill race, immediately carried
her away, and it being pitch dark she was in
stantly overwhelmed by the boiling flood and
drowned ! The husband walked home with

cla ring his conviction "that it was the will of
God that she should be drowned," adding "that
it w as the weakncssof her faith that caused it.'
The body of the woman was found, but life was
quite extinct. She was in a 6lae of perfect
nudity, with the exception of a slighl singlet,

leniarkable that a preacher of this sect, while
baptising a disciple, was carried away by the
Hood and drowned a few days before, irt the
river a Handsworth, Woodhouse, near Shef

occurred recently at New Orleans, arising out
of tender passion. A Dr. Mackay courted the
daughter of Judge Story, of that city. The la
dy gaVe her consent to the unuin, but lhe lather
said nay, and the pair started off in a carr iage,
privately, to Ifayettc, to get "spliced." Oil
the raJ they met the lady's brother, who at
tempted to stop then), but was pitched into the
mini by the driver. ThO next obstacle With
which they came hi collision was not so t-asily
;ot over, bein; s, heavy dray and they were
pitched into the mud. As one of the horses
whs killed, the carriage smashed and the Jehu
"knocked into a corked hat,'' the lovers had to
tike to tlieir pcsnnal powers of progression,
and they trudged back to New Orleans through
inuil aud rain, in tho hope of finding an up-river
steamboat S bear them to bliss. Thfy

it, chartered another boat, and at thd last ac
