wwilee, it forma aanctuary ot domestic felicity

To form this hrm,' tweet homey of Iwo
heat!, much la needful. ' The first inquiry of
wori.m after marriage should be, 'flow ahall I
continue the love I have inspired ' Ilow shall
1 preserve the heart I have won!'
1 Endeavor to pake your husband' habita
tion alluring- and delightful to him. Let il be
to him sanctuary to which hi heart may al
ways turn from the calamities of life. Make il
reprise from hi care, shelter from the
world, home pot fur his person only, but fur
hie heart. lie may meet with pleasure in o
ther houses, but let him find pleasure in hia
own. bhnuJU he be delected, eootli him : should
he be silent and thoughtful, do not heedlessly
disturb hitn,' should he be studious, favor him
witli all practicable facilities; or should ho be
peevish, make allowance for human nature, and
by your sweetnew, pentlenesw, and pnod-hnmor,
urge him continually to think, though he may
not say it, this woman is indeed a comfort In
ine: I cannot but love her gentlcnese and af
fection as they deserve.
2. Invariably adorn yourself with delicacy
and modesty. These, to man of refinement,
are attraction the mm-t highly captivating;
while their opposite never fail to inspire d ie-
guit. It the delicacy and modesty of the
bride be always, ins great degree, supported by
the wife.
3 If it be possible, let your husband suppose
you think him s good husband, and it will be
stimulus to hi being so. As Ion; as be lliinke
he po6ecerieB the reputation, he will take some
pains to deserve it ; but when lis) ha lot! the
name he will abandon the reality.
4. Cultivate and exhibit with the greatest
care and constancy, cheerfulness and good hu
mor. . They give beauty to the finest face; and
imparl charma where charm are not. On the
contrary, a gloomy, dieeatit-fied manner, i chil
ling and repulsive to his frelings ; he will be ve
ry apt to seek e Ire where for those smile and

house. -

6. Particularly shnn what the world call in
ridicule, 'curtain lecture.' When you shut
your door, at night, endeavor to shut out all die
cord and contention, and look on your chamber
aa a retreat from the vexation of the world,
shelter sacred to peace snd affection.
How ludicrous, offensive, and sinful it is lor
a woman to exercise authority over her hus
band, and to say, 'I will have il so. It shall be
as I like !' But I trust that 'he number uf those
who adopt this unbecoming and disgraceful man
ner is so small to render it unnecessary fur
me to enlarge on the aubject.
7. Be carvful never to join in jest or laugh
against your husband. Conceal hia fault and
speak only of his merits. Shun every approach
to extravagance. The want nf economy has in

GeBtaAiTavLna) TiiiaTV Year Ago. The
New Orleans National publishes some extrscts
from s biography of General Taylor, which was
written nearly thirty years ago, by J. C. Brpck
enbridire. of Keiiuckv. Th otimntton of
General Taylor's character and talents, by his
early hingrapher, coincide in a remarkable
manner with the universal opinion now enter
tained respecting him'ufnco he hna been placed
In circumstances lhat liave developed the great
nesa of his character." VVe quote the following,
which contain a prophecy which has been re
marfcably fulfilleit by"" General Taylor's cuurre
since the war with Mexico begun.
The death of Gen. Howard in October, cal
led Major Taylor to St. Lnui. In November
he accompanied Colonel Russell several hun
dred miles up the Misenuri, to secure a small
settlement on that river, left much expoecd t
Indian depredations. In December he was a
Gain orderrd In Vmcrnnea lo lake command of
the troops in Indiana, where he remained until
the concluMim of peace. 'When wrlook back,'
continues the biographer, 'on the msny impor
tant service rendered by thisotficet to his coun
try during the lute war ; when we reflect on
the peculiar perils snd hardnhipa lu which those
services must have perpetually exposrd him,
performing as he did, inoneyrar, matches to
the territories of Indians, Illinois and Missouri,
amounting to more than OtKHl miles, and find no
solitary instance In which the extent of hia a
chievenirnte did not exceed the scanty mcastire
of his means; we cannot restrain the expres
sion of our regret at hi detention from thoie
glorious field of civilised cumbnt, where Iiih
genius might hsve borno him lo imbler enter
prise, snd hi valor displayed itself on a more
conspicuous theatre.'
With a frsme fitted for the most active ami
hardy enterprise, an ardent spirit, a sanguine
temper, and an invincible courage, gifted with a
rapid discernment, a discriminating judgment,
and a deep knowledge of mankind, and pos
sessing a heart aueptible ot the most generous
impulses of humanity, we regard Major Taylor
a an officer of peculiar promise, and hazard.
we think, but little in the prediction thai, in the
event of a war at no distant period, between the
United States ami England or Spain, riding on
the tide ot military glory, he will find hia true
level at the head of the army,'
The editor of the Albany A'nirAer&oter is a
sensible man. There's more truth than poetry
lo the following, which we copy from hi spicy
paper ;

Hove tei grt Cabin Paasage.
Not many week since, when onu of our fi
nest snd swiftest transports waa about leaving
the levee for Vera Cruz, the usual crowd went
on hoard and made arrangements in the pssenge;
each one having an rye lo making himself as
comfortable n his rsnk or circuintance would
allow. The pnssenger register was lyinp; open
in the cabin, and to n Col. hud his nam"
down for berth 'A Nn. 1.' Mnjor M'uwcd
suit and entered his name, Cap', and Lis.
, , and did the same, and to make
the matter short, all those entered to a berth in
the cabin followed in order and entered their
names in the register. All was bustle and hur
ry; trunks, boxes, saddles, hoUters and sabres
were being tumbled ab-mt in con foe ion; the
steamer was almon! ready to let go her hawser:
one young gentleman with a lieutenant's stripe
nn his should' r had forgotten a box of 'grocer
ies,' another could nowhere sec his servant on
ii rd, nml the scene was one of great disorder
generally; when a plain and neatly dresed
onng man of intelligent expression walked qui-
tly up to tin: table where the register waa ly
ing, and in a plain, Wild hand wrote 'lohn Rob'
inson, M. D.' opposite No. IB. The clerk of the
stea iner wss standing by at the lime, and im
mediately said to the young man 'Doctor, I
can give ynu a more cnmforiub'e berth than 10
one better ventilbtPil. ''Thank you, sir, I'll
eave it entirely to your selection,' answered
Itohitiaon, and walked quietly off.
Soon the steamer waa under way, and the
pnMsengers began to dit-posc themselves about
he cabin as was most convenient. Itohinson
, . i j -i i.
Old a (mini vancn carried ny one oi me stew
ards, st.d placed in the berth selected for him by
the clerk, and sat down perfectly at hia case.
Rut this w as not to Ust long. One of the 'sure
enough' iiflicers utiectel that Robinson was
Intruding, and not knowing who he was, called
Ihe attention of Captain to him. 'Do you
know who that man is, captain V said the in-
quisiltve cllicer. '.Not exactly, replied the cap
tain, 'but I think he is one of the teamsters un
der my charge; I'll see the clerk aUmt it,' and
si saying, he went to the clerk's oflice. Aa he
paesed where Robinmn was sitting, he recngni
ted him; and approaching ihe clerk, he said in
raider an abrupt tune, 'why, sir, do you allow
that man (itoiutiug to Robinson.) lo enter the
cabin !' 'That man, answered the clerk, has
ss much right, sir, in the cabin as you hive.
You are mistaken,' nid the captain; 'do you
know who he is! -Certainly I do know who
he is that's one ol your surgeons.' The asto
nir-hed cllicer started in amazement, and ex
cUimed, 'why, sir, that's one of my teamsters
surgeon, indeed !' It was now the tune for the
clerk lu show surprise, ami he looked the very
picture of ssionishmoiit. 'There must be some
mistake about th'.s,' he finally remarked; 'but
I'll soon see all about it,' and stepping into the
cabin, took up the registered pointed lo 'John
liultinnn, M. D.' By this time, several of tile
paseengerB were crowding about the register,
l-avmg heard something of t' a (fair. The cap
tain of the steamer, too, had also joined the
company, when tire clerk, turning round to Ro
binson, said to him 'Ivik here, Doctor, or Mr,
Robinson, or whoever you are, ia this you
name!" The individual addressed, coolly got
up, and stepping to the table, to see which name
the clerk meant, said, upon seeing the name on
which he held hi finger, yes, sir, that'- my
name.' 'Did you write it asked the coin
commander of the vessel. 'Yes, air.' 'Did you
write 'M. D.' after ill' asked the commander.
I did.' 'Are you a' doctor ot mediciue, or a
surgeon ' coutinucd Ihe captain. 'No, sir,'
calmly answered Kobinsoii. 'Then, why do
you attach those initial to your name ?' 'Be
cause they designate my profession, or rather
my rank in Ihe army.' 'Your profession ! your
rank! Explain yourself. Are you an officer !'
continued the commander. 'No, sir, 1 never
en id I was an ufliccr, mildly replied Robinson.
'Well, sir,' detnaniUd the captain, why do you

mean 'I have no sort of objection, sir, to in
form you M. D , as I use tho letter, stand tor
Mule Driver! John Kobinsoii, M. D. John
Uohin-oo, Mule Driver ! and I ain't nothing

All hands laughed at thecoul wit of the fel

Aristocracy Kebakeil.
Thomas Chittenden, the first Governef of
Vermont, who waa a plain tarmer, alike remar-
kiible for strong native powers of mind, and the
republican simplioily with which he conducted,
everything in his public duties, and hi domes
tic establishment waa once visited by a party uf
travelling fashionables from one of our cities.
VVhen the hour ol dinner had arrived, Mrs.
Chittenden, to the astonishment of her fair
guests, went out and blew a tin horn fur l!
workmen, who soon arrived, when to the still
greater surprise, and even horror, of thesw fair
cits, and the whole ooiupany governor, hi la
dy, guests, and workingmen and all were in
vited to sit down together to the suUiawtial
meal which h been prepared for Ihe occasion.
After dinner the ladie were left to tlwroselve,
and one uf Ihe guest thought she wuukl gently
take Mrs. Chittenden to task for this monstrous
violation of ihe rule of the city gentility to
which she had been, as she thought, so uticuur
leou'ly made a victim.
You do not oEStRALLt sit down together to
the same table with your workmen, 1 suppose
Mrs. Chittenden she commenced.
'Why,' replied the Governor's lady, whose
quick wit instantly comprehended the drift of
the other, 'I am almost ashamed to say we ge
nerally do, but I intend soon to mend in Ihia
particular! 1 was telling the Governor this mor
ning that it was an absolute shame that the
wot k men, who did all the hard labor, should fare .
no better than we who sit so much of the liirr
n the house, earning little or nothing; and 3
am dctetniiiud hereafter to set two tables, me-
first and best lor the workmen and last ar.d sour

1 think, very good of its kind.

'Pullynt'sia : where situated, w'iac are the
products, the inhabitants, iMitvwV and ionus
tude, &c, now bounded V sl.rie&ud the lailo-
peilsgogue, to a huge, red headwj- buy, whose
face bore the expression uf alwrasy egg, with
feet like battering rams.
'Pullyknceshia is an in.Orpeodent group of
islands in the Bnterioroft.be deertef Saraharro,
on the coast of Cornwall. It prwlucts is bi) ita
springs, cucumbers, tortoise shell, earniballe,

and tothera is Shakers and Injuns. Latitude

aides by Ihe Chinese wall, which was erected to
prevent the ii'jctural visits of the equator into
the Caapisn rjea, and on the south by the Spa
reibbeau islimnshs, and the promontories which
is uticom.monly kivered at l.igli water mark
with Shetland ponies and other animals ol the
same class. The religion is like tho products,
intolerance and idle worship.'
Ladie Kissing kach other Fur our part
we see no particular objection to the custom the
ladies have of kissing each other except that
we think it is a usurpation of the rights ct the
Lord ol creation. About 'street kissing' we
have not made up our mind however, although
Ihe Editor of Ihe New England Aurora has.
Hear him: 'Pretty women kis one another on
coming in'.o a room, because it is a graceful cus
tom; they do the same on going away because
they are delighted to lose eight of each other.
It maybe belter for them to kiss each other
in door,' but to aee a group of ladie stop in
the street, in 'broad daylight,' snd indict upon
each other the hypocritical kiss appears to us to
be disgusting and euperlatively sidy. Such oc
curreiicea frequently transpire within our obser
vation. It loi ka like cannioies essaying togor
mandite each other, as it is nearly as much
fraught with 'Iovb' aa are many of those eating;
ceremonies. A kin Is glorious in its place.
The sacred cede says? 'Salute one another
with holy afTer'.iMi' we believe thus are the
words but dosii'i sty, 'engorge each other,
nor ''cave the aiiiif of malice upouthe lace if
h'.r win m ,ou eat-ste.'

A smoke from a thousand wigwams tells
The Indian Summer ; soft and calm tha ir
swings like a heavy curtain in the glar
Of lb new risen sun, whoss teivor quells
The frosts of Autumn, by whose woud'rous s-ll
Green woods hsv heea transmitted into led,
Brown, golden tints as beautiful as .hells
Stolen from tb occean'a ail ver sanded bed,
A lauguid, dreamy deep, delieiou base,
Through which, the nearest objecta mellowed
. seem,
Hides the blus distance, while ths meadows
glt-atn
Aa if with harvests of lb yellow mais.
Tis tb (sturn of Summer, brief and bright,
Hia last warm sigh and sroil of lov and light.
