How wild and dim this life appears!
One long deep heavy sigh,
When before our eyes, half closed in tears,
'The images of former years
Are faintly gliding by !
And still forgotten while they go !
As on the sea beach, wave on wave
Dissolves at once in snow.
- The amber clouds one moment lie,
Then, like a dream, are gone !
'Though beautiful the moonbeams play
On the lake's bosom, bright as they,
And the soul intensely loves their stay,
Soon as the radiance melts away,
We scarce believe it shone !
Heaven-airs amid the harp-strings dwell;
And we wish they 'never may fade:—
They cease—and the soul is a silent cell,
Where music never played !
Dreams follow dreams, through the long night
hours,
•
Each lovelier than the last;
But, ere the breath of morning flowers,
That gorgeous world flies past !
And many a sweet angelic cheek,
- Whose smiles of love and fondness speak,
Glides by us on the earth :
While in a day we cannot tell,
'Where shone the face we loved so well,
In sadness, or in mirth.
THE HE ART' S GUEST.
When age has cast its shadows
O'er life's declining . way,
And the evening twilight gathers
Round our departittg day.
Then shall we sit and pondor
On the dim and shadowy past ;
Within the heart's still chambers,
The guests will gather fast.
The friends in youth we cherished
Shall come to us once mote,
Again to hold communion
As in the days of yore.
They may be stern anti sombre;
They might be bright and fair ;
But the heart will have its chambers,
The guests will gather there.
How shall it be my sisters
Who then shall be your guests?
How shall it be, my brothers,
When life's shadow on us rests?.
Shall we not, 'midst the silence,
In accents soft and low,
Then hear familiar voices
And words of long ago.
The Birth of an American Prince,
Programme of the ceremonial to be observed
on the birth of a child to Mr. Diggs, one of
the sovereigns of America.
When Mrs. Diggs begins to feel that the
long expected time has at last arrived, she
will wake Diggs from the sound steep he will
be enjoying, and on his asking "What is the
matter?" he will be informed by Mrs. Diggs.
As soon as Diggs can hastily get on his pant -
aloons, boots and coat, he shall take the or
ders of .Mrs. Diggs and go immediately for
the Nurse, the Grand Mistress of Diggs' house
hold she steps her foot within his
,as soon as s. steps :ter
door, and after escorting the Grand Mistress
to the said door, he shall inform the family
physician, who shall immediately repair to
the - Diggs Castle. Diggs shall also convey
the information of what is tfanspiring to all
who hold rank in his household. His moth
er-in-law—she shall appear in whatever
clothes she can find handy, the state of her
nerves on learning the fact, being in such a
condition as to prevent an elaborate toilet.
On arriving at the Diggs Castle, she shall ex
claim, "Ah! my poor , dear Emily," and look
at Diggs, as - it she thought him the worst of
criminals. Diggs, on receiving this look in
silence, shall cause the head cook and the
Maid of the Bedchambers to be called, and be
in waitina• b in an ante-room for whatever or
ders the Grand Mistress of the Household
may send them. Diggs is expected to faith
fully execute all these orders in not less than
ten minutes; and when they are accom
plished, Diggs is at liberty to retire to his, pri
vate apartments, and there await further or
ders front the Grand Mistress of the House
hold. In the meanwhile his nervous system
may require a little weak toddy, and in the
intervals of propping his nerves, Diggs shall
frequently declare that he wishes the thing
was all over.
In the chamber of Mrs. Diggs there shall
,only be the physician; the grand mistress of
the household and the mother-in-law. The
latter distinguished personage, before many
days, wilt make an effort to outrank the grand
mistress of the household, and in the tilts
which ensue consequent upon . this effort,
Diggs is expected to take both sides and carry
-water on both shoulders. The cook shall re
tire to the kitchen, stir up the fire, and hold
herself ready for any service needed. The
maid of the bed chambers shall assemble her
self anywhere within calling distance from
the door of Mrs. Diggs' apartment, and when

LIFE
the grand mistress of the household gives her
order and tells her not to be all day about it,
she shall obey'them.
At the moment at which the sioms; are pro
pitious, Diggs shall be informed that it is near
ly all over. Diggs will put more questions
than will be answered, and tie will be told to
wait a little while longer, that his dear Emily
is bearing up wonderfully, and frequently
calls upon her dear Tommy. Thomas Diggs
shall sigh, and wish it was all over again.
In the morning, when the room'is put to
rights, and the child- shall be presented to
him by the grand mistress of the household,
and Digs shall examine it first with • pro
found astonishment, and then assuming a jo
vial air shall touch its little cheek and call it
"the dear weeny, beeny little thing." Diggs
shall then kiss his dear Emily about one doz
en times, and express much sympathy for her
sufferings. Mrs.• Diggs will then give him
distinctly to understand that that child is the
last, and that men have no idea of the suffer
ing of poor women. The child's name hav
ing been long fixed, Diggs shall then proceed
to the parlor, and taking down the family Bi
ble shall then proceed to make a minute(pro
ces verbal) of the birth of the child, in accord
ance with the long established usages of the
American sovereigns.
Soon after daylight the aunts, the cousins, and
all the relations that are recognised by the
family, including all the relations of the
mother-in-law shall call at the house. The
cook and maid of the bed chambers will
convey the intelligence over the back yard
fence to the cook and maid of the bed cham
bers next door, and they will convey it to the
cook and maid of the bed chambers of the
second yard, so that every family in the block
shall receive intelligence of the joyful event
by breakfast time.
Diggs will then take his breakfast without
grumbling about the cookery, and proceed to
his place of business. By his manner Diggs
will indicate to his sovereigns whether the
child is a boy or a girl. If it is - a boy, Diggs
will be unusually lively—he will walk with
a spring—his face will be covered with smiles;
he will, in fact, make every one he meets ex
claim, "there goes a happy clog". If it is a
girl, be will feel happy and look happy, but
his happiness will he subdued, quiet and
calm. When he arrives at his place of bus
iness, he will there proclaim the great event,
and is not expected to notice any little joke
which may be perpetrated at his expense.
Diggs will return home at least six times
during the first day.He will look at the child
six times, and tickling its cheek with his fin
ger, will sometimes exclaim—"Oh, the dear
weeny, beeny little thing!" Diggs will take
all orders to the Pharmacopolist, and the
Pharmacopolist is expected to be unusually
elated with the news. The Pharmacopolist
will congratulate him in set terms, and will
ask how they are doing. Diggs will inform
him the: they are doing as well as could be
expected under the circumstances, and will
enter into particulars, with which the Phar
macopolist will be highly delighted, and, if
an opportunity is offered,is expected to air his
knowledge of the whole business. In flitir
weeks after the birth of the child, the Grand
Mistress of the Household will vacate the
premises. Diggs will then receive strict or
ders that he is not expected to go out after tea.
The dear weeny beeny little thing Will al
ways he sick after tea, and he must help his
dear Emily to keep it quiet, and get it sound
asleep.—He must also hold himself in read
iness to get up at least six times every night.
And during the night his only sleep is cat
naps. He will be extensively in the catnip
trade, that article being found very necessary
for the health of the dear weeny, beeny little
thin;.
In about six months after the event Diggs
will have some experience in domestic life,
and will find that it has its duties and cares
as well es its pleasures. —P hil.
A MAIDIM'S FIRST LOVE.--fluman nature
has no essence more pure—the world knows
nothing more chaste—heaven has endowed
the mortal heart with no feeling more holy,
than the nascent affection of a young virgin's
soul. The warmest language of the sunny
south is too cold to shadow forth even a faint
outline of that enthusiastic sentiment. And
God has made the richest language poor in
that same respect, because the depths of
hearts that thrill with love's emotions are too
sacred for contemplation. The musical voice
of love stirs the source of the sweetest
thought within the human breast, and steals
into the most profound recesses of the soul,
touching chords which never vibrated before,
and calling into gentle companionship delici
ous hopes till then unknown.
Yes, the light of a young maiden's love
breaks dimly but beautifully upon her as the
silver lustre of a star glimmers through a
thickly woven bower : and the first blush
that mantles her cheek, as she feels the pri
mal influence, is faint and pure as that which
a rose leaf might cast upon marble. But how'
rapidly does that grow stronger, and that
flush deeper—until the powerful effulgence
of the one irradiates every corner of her heart,
and the crimson glow of the other suffuses
every' feature of her countenance.
A HAPPY Homr..—We fear there are but few
happy homes in this world. We do know,
that, if any connection be formed on any
other basis than that of Christianity there
can be no permanent enjoyment. A happy
home ! How mach is embraced in that sen
tence? how glorious and instructive ! Alas,
how rarely do we find one ! We' enter fam
ily circles daily where there seems to be mu
tual love and happiness. How little of it is
real ! It has been said that there is a skele
.ton in every house. How easy it is to de
suoy the peace and unanimity of home ! One
uAniet spirit may transform the calmest cir
cle into a place of torment. A family circle
resembles an electrical one : while all are
similar in disposition and governed by the
same mutual love, the current of love will
flow free and undisturbed. Let there be in
troduced one foreign nature, and the circle is
broken ; and, where all was harmony before,
there is now chaos and confusion.—Prison
er-'s Friend.
HUNTINGDON, JUNE 11, 1856.
The Unhappy Reply.
" I do not think it a selfish act if I occupy
this whole seat myself, as I am to travel all
this long day," said I to a lady nearest me,
as I took the out-of-the-way end seat in the
cars at Buffalo for Albany one sultry morn
ing.
" Certainly not," was the reply, as I put
my shawl, books, papers, fan, bonnet, &c., in
one end, and nestled myself down in the
other. I soon wearied of conversation and
reading, and had sunk into a fitful slumber,
when a gentle tap on my shoulder and a
"please miss" made the wake up with a sud
den start.
The car was filled to overflowing, and a
newly-arrived party had entered, and a pale
little woman, with a fretful baby in her arms,
stood asking permission to sit beside me.- 7 --
With more of pity than of pleasure I shared
my seat with her, yet I spoke but few words,
and sulkily forebore taking the restless little
creature to ease her poor wearied arms; but
merely smoothed its yellow hair and its
pale baby cheek, and said Mary was a good
and sweet name.
For my own comfort r bad opened the win
dow, that I might more distinctly catch those
picturesque views that flitted by so rapidly
that they seemed like growing pictures with
out one imperfection to mar, when my atten
tion was drawn to my companion, who was
incessantly coughing.
"I do wish you would let down that win
dow," said she; that coal smoke makes my
cough so much worse."
I am ashamed to confess it now, but I felt
the angry blood burn in my cheeks and a flash
of the eyes as I replied :
"I am quite sick, and wearied, and troubled,
and hungry, and thirsty, and crowded, and
here you come as an intruder, and keep me
from the mite of cool, fresh air that I was,
trying to get. Do you think you are doing as
you would be done by ?" said I, tardily ; and,
without waiting for a reply, I rose, and was
letting down the window with an angry
crash, as a naughty child would slam a door
to shut it, when she had laid her poor wasted
little hand on my arms, and said :
" Oh, don't do it, then," and burst into
tears ; and leaned her head down on her baby
and wept bitterly.
The woman in my heart was touched, but
putting on the injured air of a martyr, I com
pressed my lips, and took up a paper pretend
ing to read. Pretty soon my eyes grew dim
med, I could not see without crushing the
tears often, and I resolved to ask pardon for
my unkindness, but minute after minute gli
ded away, and we soon reached her place of
destination, and she rose to leave. I rose
too, and the words were on my lips, when a
gentleman came to assist her out.
She turned her gentle, tearful eyes upon
me with a sad expression, and bowed so
sweetly that my hand almost upraised for the
forgiveness, the words were just dropping
from my lips, but she was gone.
It was too late; and I, a woman with a wo
man's heart was left with that stinging wrong
done yet sticking in it, and the sweet words
and wasted little hand that could remove it
were gone from me forever. 1 sank back in
my seat and also wept bitterly. -
The gentleman returned from assisting her,
and as the car was full he occupied the place
she had vacated. I inquired who the lady
was, and he replied :
" Her home is in Wisconsin, and she has
now returned to the home of her childhood to
die. The whole family of brothers and sis
ters have died of consumption, and she was
the last one left, and is fast going too."
Oh I I turned away sick at heart, and tried
to shut out from remembrance that pallid, ap
pealing face, as I resolved and re-resolved
never again in this poor life of mine to speak
an unkind word to a stranger.
PROGRESS OF ASTRONOMICAL SCIENCE.-
Seventy-five years since the only planets
known to men of science were the same which
were known to the Chaldean shepherds thous
ands of years ago. Between the orbit of
Mars and that of Jupiter there occurs an in
terval of no less than three hundred and fifty
millions of miles, in which no planet was
known to exist before the commencement of
the present century. Nearly three centuries
ago, the immortal Kepler had pointed out
something like a regular progression in the
distance of the planets as far as Mars was
broken in the case of Jupiter. Being unable
to reconcile the actual state of the planetary
system with ant- theory he could form re
specting it, he hazarded the conjecture that a
planet really existed between the orbits of
Mars and Jupiter, and that ite smallness
alone prevented it from being visible to as
tronomers. But Kepler soon rejected this
idea as improbable. In this space no less
than thirty-three small planets—tbe Asteroids
—are now known to revolve, and perhaps
double this number may yet be discovered.
These small planets are believed by Dr. Alex
ander and others to have once formedd - a sin
gle thin plant.
Loafers in Printing-offices
The composing -room of a printing-office
is not the place to tell long stories, or argue
abstruse points in metaphysics. Read, ye
loungers, and be advised
"A printing-office is like a school; it can
have no interlopers, hangers-on, or twaddlers,
without a serious inconvenience, to say noth
ing of loss of time, which is just as. much as
gold to the printer as though it metallically
glistened in his hand. What would be thought
of a man who would enter a school, and
twaddle first with the teacher and then with
the scholars—interrupting the studies of one
and breaking the discipline of another !
And yet this is the precise effect of the loa
fer in the printing-office. He seriously inter
feres with the course of business; distracts
the fixed attention which- is necessary to the
good printer. No gentleman will ever enter
it and presume to act loafer. He will feel
above for no real gentleman ever sacrifi
ces the interests or interferes with the duties
of others. The loafer does both. Let him
think, if thought he ever has, that the last
place he should ever insinuate his unwelcome
presence is in the printing-office."
Origin of Words
ORIGIN OE THE WORD ARABESQUE..--.ThEi
term is said to have been applied, because the
Arabs and other Mahometans use this kind of
ornament; their religion forbidding them to
make any images or figures of men, and other
animals. The Italians call that style of pain
ting groltesca, from the subterraneous places
in which the ancient specimens of it were
discovered.
MAUSOLEUM.—Artemesia, Queen of Calla,
built a stately sepulchre for her husband Matt
solous, whom she loved so dearly that beside
this edifice she caused the ashes of his body
to be put into a cup of wine and drank them,
that they might be nearer her heart. The
word is now applied to any pompous sepul
chral monument.
ElLA.—ft is derived from ces, brass. The
Romans anciently marked down the number
of years on tables with brass nails, and thus,
in reference to this custom, the word (era, or
era, as we have it, came to signify the same
epoch, viz : a certain time or date from which
to begin the new year, or some particular
way of reckoning time and year..
OTTOMAN.—As applied to the Turk, Oth
man was the first Turkish Sultan, and from
him the whole Turkish State'and Empire is
denominated. The Othman Turks completed
the overthrow of the Grecian Empire.
TOAD EATER.—This expression is used to
wards a man in the most degraded state—eat
ing the bread of dependence by the most de
grading sacrifices. The old, Saxon phrase
was er dood hiet eer, viz : Met, he should call ;
cr. dood, upon death•; eer, ever.
WHEEDLE.—There is some difficulty in as
certaining the etymology of this word. It is
most probably derived from a German word,
wedein, which signifies properly the wagging
of a dog's tail when he creeps and cringes;
and hence the word in English, which means
to coax, to flatter.
WASHINGTON MONUMENT IN NEW YORK.-
The Union Square Washington Monument, it
seems, is a fixed fact, and the strangest part
of the whole is, that the getters up of the af
fair keep themselves out of sight entirely.—
The work will cost some 525,000 or $30,-
000 ; which is covered by private subscription,
and yet -nobody knows who the subscribers
are. The monument is to be a bronze eques
trian statue, cast by the Chicopee Company,
at Springfield, from moulds by Mr. H.
Brown, a well known American sculptor, of
no mean talent. Ground has already been
Ix °gen for the foundation, and the.blocks of
Quincy granite, weighing five tons each,
which are to be used in constructing the pe
destal, are already on the spot or at the foot
of 23d street. So little has been said about
this monument that we really believe it will
be built. The projectors are going the right
way to work—erecting their statue first, and
leaving the talking, bragging and boasting to
be done afterwards.
The statue, sass the Journal of Commerce,
is already completed and ready to be raised
upon its pedestal, and in the course of a month
or six weeks, perhaps on the Fourth of July,
our citizens will be gratified with a view of
a monument to Washington having an exist
ence elsewhere than on paper. The magni
tude of the work may be known from the
fact that the pedestal wid be fourteen feet
high, and the statue itself about the same
height. Good judges of such matters, who
have seen the statue at the artist's studio,
speak of it in the highest terms of praise.—
Its erection will be watched with great inter
est.
ROMANCE or LIFE.--We heard the particu
lars yesterday of one of those strange episo
des in life in which the old adage of "truth is
stranger than fiction" was fully illnstrated.—
About six years since a lady named Mrs.
Martha Wood, accompained by her son, his
wife and two children, arrived in this city
from New Bedford, Mass. She stated that
she was a widow of some twenty-four years
standing, her husband having been mate of a
whaler, which had been lost at sea. The
family have resided for the greater portion of
the time on:Liberty street, Mr. Wood the son,
working at his trade, which is that of a coop
er. Yesterday morning a gray headed and
toil worn man called at the residence of the
family, and seeing Mr. Wood, inquired for
the widow, who, being called into the room,
while gazing intently at the stranger whose
eyes were fixed mournfully upon her, reques
ted to know his business. "Do you not know
me, Martha ?" said he, and as the sound of
Lis-voice, like the memory of an olden melo
dy, met her ear, she gave vent to a hysterical
cry, and fainted in the arms which were open
ed to receive her.
The tale is soon told : The ship in which
he had made his last voyage from New Bed
ford was cast away frt. - the South Sea Islands,
and he was one of the few who escaped a
watery grave. After enduring almost un
heard of privations, he succeedd after thirty
years' absence in reaching his native city.—
From a brother of his wife he learned' their
present location, and arrived here to find her
whom he had left a young and blooming bride
far advanced in the evening of life, while the
infant, upon whose lips, when he last saw
h:m, he had imprinted a father's kiss, and
who could then scarcely lisp his name,.was
now a stalwart man and the head of a family.
How many hopes. and: fears must have agita
ted the heart of the old mariner as he again
set foot, after his long pilgri.nage, upon his
native soil.
ir'The Evansville (N. Y.) Journal, allu
ding to Kansas affairs, calls the President of
the United States a "villain," a traitor," a
"creeping, crawling sycophant," a "murder
er," and "the most infamous man." The
editor is probably a Christian, and goes to.
church.
The Zanesville Gazette states that the wife
of one of the un fortunal es, who were entombed
in the coal mines near that city, has become
deranged in consequence of the long and
agonizing suspense, and has been taken to
the lunatic asylum at Columbus, Ohio.
Remarkable Trial.
Within the last two weeks a trial was had
in the Court of Common Please of Ross
County, which developed some startling
facts. An adhering member of the Know
Nothing order charged a seceder with perjury,
in having disclosed the secrets of the order;
upon this charge a suit for slander was insti
tuted. Upon the trial the defendant introdu
ced, as in evidence, the testimony of several
members, of the order, who disclosed these
startling facts. They testify that each man
who joins the Know Nothing order takes a
solemn oath never to disclose the existence
of the order, the names of any of its mem
bers. or his own connection with it. When
asked whether his oath taken in the order
was not regarded by them as conflicting with
the oath they had just taken in court, from
the fact that each one of those witnesses had
had not only told of the existence of the
of the order, but had revealed the names and
connection of members. They replied it did
not, from the fact that each of them had a
permit of indulgence from Thos. Ford ? Pre
sident of the order, granted them permission
to testify as witnesses in that case. These
startling disclosures must alarm every good
citizen for the safety, not only for the admin
istration of justice, but the security of our
free institutions. When a dark and secret
cabal becomes so lost to very sense of relig
ion and duty as to administer oaths to do, or
to forbear to do certain acts, and then to
grant indulgences to tamper with and violate
these solemn obligations, it is time for good
men to cry out in alarm.
Whence has Torn Ford derived the power
to absolve men from the binding obligation
of solemn oaths Who gave him Dower to
annul the most sacred appeals to Almighty
God that human beings can make And yet
from the sworn testimony of witnesses in a
court of justice it appears that he has assum
ed to do this, and men stood up in a court of
justice and violated these oaths, declaring
that they felt no compunction of conscience
for doing so, because of the all-absolving
power of Tom Ford's indulgence. One of
the most solemn charges Know Nothingism
has urged against the Pope is that once his
predecessors granted indulgence and absol
ved from the bindiog effect of oaths. What
is the difference, Jet us ask, between their
own acts and what they charge upon the

WANTED—A SER APII I—ONE ACCUSTOM.-
ED TO PLAY ON A HARP PREFERRED I—The
New York Tribune has the following, out of
its usual columns of advertisements:
"We want preachers of the gospel of Kan
sas. We don't want any argument, or essay,
or logic, to prove anything touching the great'
question. Congress._ is lawyered to death.—
We want preachers with tongues of fire ; and
a leader holy, rapt, and Huss, and a Peter the
Hermit. We want glorified mystical as a
seraph. This is a day for Luther, a spirits
filled with ode and rhapsody and lyric. The
great harp of liberty lies unstrung, and needs
to be waked to new and sublimer strains than
were*evoked from its strings.
Where is the master who shall seize it,
touch its cords, and rouse this people into
life There is the cause and the crisis, the
essential elements of one of the most mo
ving, exciting and magnetic contests that
ever was witnessed. The ingredients of a
more than necromantic (negro-man-tic) pow
er lie in - unimagined opulence beneath oar
feet. Where is the enchanter whose wand
shall vitalize them."
• We'do not know who to commend to them
for their necessity except the man who
preached upon "the harp of a thousand
strings—sperets of just men made perfeck,'. 2
It is doubtful, however, if that hard hearted
philosopher would do, as he does not quite
answer to the description of a seraph or a
"Cherrybum," or a Griffin, or a Gyasticus !
It is evident that the present leaders at
Washington do not come up to the require
ments of this advertisement. There are
many, who have many of the seraph quali
fications, but none combines all. For in
stance, Greely looks like a yeller covered ser
aph, laded and swelled• with too much wash
ing. But his conversation is not heavenly,
but the opposite; and the lyre is his favorite
instrument, and not the harp.
Jack Hale might set up for "a glorified
spirit,' but as his pockets are filled with cop
pers picked up in the lobbies he cannot do
more than set up—he cannot rise to the blue
Empyrean.. Then who ever heard of such a
seraph with such breeches pockes, and cop
pers in them.--Albany Atlas and- Argus.
A ROYAL LIAR.—lt is said that George IV.
would not hesitate to resort to an out-and-out
lie to relieve himself trom an embarrassing
• position. O'Connell declared that it was his
belief "that there never was a greater scoun
drel than George 1V.," and related an occur
rence that took place when the Prince, Mrs.
Fitzherbert, and. Charles. James Fox were
dining together :
"After dinner, Mrs Fitzherbert said :--'l3y
the by, Mr. Fox, I had almost foigotten to
ask you what you did say about me in the
House of Commons the other night '1 The
newspapers misrepresent so very strangely
that one cannot depend upon them. You
were made to say that the Prince authorized
you. to den's his marriage with :ne.' The
Prince made monitory grimaces. at Sox, and
immediately said :—'lTpon my honor,. my
dear. I never authorized him to deny it.'
Upon my honor, sir, you did,' said Fox,
r i s i ng f ro m the table ; had always thought
your father the greatest liar in England, but
now I see that you are.' Fox would not as
sociate with the Prince for. some years,•until
one day that he - walked in unannottneedi, and!
found Fox at dinner. Fox rose as the Prince
entered and said that he had' but one course
to pursue, consistent with his hospitable duty
as an English gentleman, and that was to ad
mit him."

VOL, 11, NO. 51,
i Bashful Men.
'BY MRS. MART A. DENNISON..
We never yet saw a genuinely bashful man
who was not the soul of honor. Though such
may blush and stammer, and shrug: their'
shoulders awkwardly, unable to throw forth
with ease the thoughts that they would er
press, yet commend them to us for friends.
There are fine touches in their characters
I that time will mellow and bring out ; percep
-1 nuns as delicate as the faintest tint into the
unfolded rose; and their thoughts are none
the lesarefined and beautiful that they do not
flow with the impetuosity of the shallow
streamlet.
We are astonished that such men are not.
appreciated j that ladies with really good
hearts and cultivated intellects, will reward
the gallant Sir Mustachio grainless With
smiles and attentions, because he din fold a
shawl gracefully, and bandy compliments
with Parisian elegance, while they will not
condescend to look upon the worthier man
who feels for them a reverence so great that
his every mute glance is worship.
The man who is bashful in the presence of
ladies, is their defender when the loose tongub
of the slanderer would defame them ; it is
not he who boasts of conquests, or dares to
talk glibly of failings that exist in his imagi
nation alone; his cheek will flush with re
sentment, his eye flash with anger, to hear
the name of woman coupled with a coarse,
oath; and yet he who would die to defend
them, is least honored by the majority of our
sex.
Who ever heard of a bashful libertine
The anomaly was never seen. Ease and ele
gance are his requisites; upon his lips sits
flattery, ready to play court alike to blue eyes
and black ; he is never nonplussed, he never
blushes. For a glance he is in rapturesl for
a word he would professedly lay dawn his
life. Yet it is he who fills our vile city dens
with wrecks of female purity ; it is he who
profanes the holy name of mother, desolates
the shrine where domestic happiness is thron
ed, ruins - theiteart that trusts in him, pollutes
the very air he breathes, and all under the
mask of a polished gentleman.
Ladies, a word in your ear : have you lov
ers, and would you possess a worthy hus
band 'I Choose him whose delicacy of de
portment, whose sense of your worth leads
him to stand i aloof, while others crowd around
you. If he blushes, stammers even at your
approach, consider them as so many signs of
his exalted opinion of your sex. If he is re
tiring and modest, let not a thousand weigh
him down in the balance, for depend upon' it,
with him your life will be happier with ps--v
-erty, than with many another surrounded by
the splendor of palaces.
As blossoms and flowers are strewn upon
the earth by the hand of spring, as the kind=
ness of summer produceth in perfection the
bounties of harvest, so the smiles of pity shed
blessings on the children of misfortune.
He who pitieth another, recommendeth
himself, but he who is without passion de
serveth it not.
The butcher relenteth not at the bleating of
the lamb, neither is the heart of the cruel
moved with distress.
But the tears of the compassionate are
sweeter than the dew-drops falling from roses
on the bosom of spring.
Shut not thine ear therefore against the
cries of the poor, neither harden thy heart
against the calamities of the innocent.
When the fatherless call upon thee, when ,
the widow's heart is sunk and she imploreth
thy assistance with tears of sorrow : 0 pity
her affliction, and extend thy hand to those
who have none to help them.
When thou seest the naked wanderer of
the street, shivering with cold, and destitute .
of habitation, let bounty open thine heart, let
the wings of charity shelter them from death:.
that thine own soul may live.
Whilst the poor man groaneth on the bed
of sickness, whilst the unfortunate languish ,
in the horrors of a dungeon, or the hoary head
of age lifts up a feeble eye to thee for pity;
0 how canst thou riot in superfluous enjoy
ments: regardless of their wants, unfeeling. of
their woes !
ADVICE FROM All OLD INHABIT ANT.-1. Pa
tronise your own trades and mechanics. This
is doing as you would be done by, and is ,
building up the town you live in.
2. ay your debts; so that other people
may pay theirs.
3. Quarrel with no znan;• and then no- man.
will quarrel with you.
4. Send your children constantly to school,.
and look in now and then yourself, to see
how they are doing there.
5. Keep all neat and clean about your dwel •
ling, for cleanliness—you know—is the hand
maid of health, and a distant COUSITI. of wealth..
6. Avoid scanda,l;• for this is a pest of any
community.
.7. Be liberal in respeot to every laudible
enterprise; for the good book says, "The lib
eral shall be made fat."
8. Visit the sick, the widiow and' the father
less, for this is one part of that religion which,
is pure and undefiled.
9'. Keep your children in at night; for the'
evening air is bad for them; and finally,
10. Feed your mind as well as your body r
for that you know is- what must go• into the
scales at last.
HINTS TO I P ARENTS.—The Rev. Hosea Bal
lou—the founder and champion of Universal
ism in this country—was accustomed to say
to parents : "If you practice severity, speak
harshly, frequently punish in anger, you will;
find your children will imbibe your spirit and
manners. But if you are wise, and rreatyouv
little. ones with tenderness, you. will- Sr the
image of love in their minds, and they will
love yomand each other, and in their conver
sation will imitate the conversation which ,
they have heard from the tenderest friends
which children have on , earthY
A good anecdote iatola of Ali Pasha, the•
Sultan's Grand Vizier, now in Paris. A few
evenings ago, a lady., to whom this gentle
man was introduced at a soiree, hazarded the.
naive question, "Is the Sultan married 7" itAi
