THE COURTSHIP AND_HONEY MOON.
It we-were constantly to bear in mind,
in our passage through life, that 'tis 'trifles
make thrum of human things,' how
much of the misery into which many of
us now heedlessly plunge might be entire
ly avoided. Unhappily, there are bt.ft: ew
f
in the married state, who, in their minim-
cences, are enabled to look back upon tile
unbroken chain of bliss so beautifully de
picted in the lines above quoted; and the
(..-
cAs,
only reason that we can imaain
by i t is
not oftener realized is—next to natural
depravity of - our race—the want of proper
attention to the thousand little occurrences
and unpleasant paisageacontesedly trifling
in themselves, but which-in the aggregate
"make up in number what -they want in
weight.'-' ..• _ . .. . ..
It is not, however, 'our intention, even
were we equal to The task, to digress into a
dissertation upon the various. ills which af
flict humanity, or.the causes which pro
duct; them, but merely to present the reader
with a brief sketch, Which will perhaps.
serve in some respect, to illustrate, as , well
the cause with which the seeds of un
happiness may be incautiously strewn in
the, hearts of thoie who love us, as also
what stay be considered in tho infant or in
cipient state of that bright existence,warm
ed by that "sacred flame," which : can.

. A festival was given by a young married
lady—one of a numerous circle of' ac
quaintances on the return of her birth-day,
which was likewise the first anniversary of
hors marriage. A large party of her. young
friends; the greater part of whom had
kneeled at the: byineneal'altar at about tld
the same time with ii , ;reelf, were present
to enliven the occasion. Mr. and Mrs.
Mayland (forauch shall be the name of my
host and hostess) presented a most felici
tous union, and were noted for their tender
regard for each other; which partook more
of the rom:antic fondness which character
ises the young viol hopeful lover, than of
what is usually- observable in the staid re
alities of married life of even les'F:,
.than a
year's standing. Happy with themselves,
they neglected no opportunity. to adminis
ter to the joy and comfort of theirfriends,
whom they gathered about them, and pos
sessing the most agree - Hitting
manners, it was rarely , rts to

With such betngs to entertain, it is easy
to imagine that their visitors at such times
would be under very little restraint in pur
suing the pleasures of the hour, and re 7
straint in such cases, all know, is a great
bar io enjoyment. The conversations were
animated, and for a time were participated
in by all. Clawing with warmth and ani
mation, after a number. of other topics had
been exhausted, the subject prolific of mat -,
rimony was brought upon the tapir. This
in some respects was perhaps peculiarly
'appropriate to the exigence of the occasion,
but, unfortunately'," it was suffered to take
a turn, the only result of which, if left un
checked, would be likely, in time, to grow
into an unconquerable evil.
The untimely interruption of the general
harmony which Marked their intercourse
fur a few moments previous, was caused by
some of they Ming husbands present, Who
were disposed to treat the subject in the
most disagreeable light, by inveighing a
gainst matrimony, and by ridiculing that
'condition and its yanked pleasures, when
compared with their former 'single blessed-

Painful, indeed, was the. result to all but

of .thein approached, aid taßphig, him on

" \Veil, Mayland, hero yo'd sit :is quiet,

What would you do, if you were not mar
ried - •
Jlis (Mayland's) sweetheart , wife , was
sitting a Ws distanee from him when this
question t't'as propounded, she liad boon .
highly delightedthat her dcachusband had
abstained from the reckless flow of words
that liad been passing, but now seeing that
he was directly apimaltd to, her heart leap
ed, and she riveted her eyes upon him with
mingled emotions of hope and fear. It
,was not at that moment; a matter of much
difficulty to read her countenance. It
seemed - to ask—" And am I, too to be cdm
promised by my husband, as my, friends
have been by theirs?" Mit her suspense
was of short duration. ,
"What would I do?" slowly- repeated
the lover husband, and then - turning to
meet the glance of his wife,lie co n tinued
--"I would go immediately in search of
Miss- 7 . -(repeating leer maiden name) of
fer to her 'my heart andliand, be blessed
by receiving her's in return, and then get
mariied as soon as Possible."
This unexpected reply, so deliberately
and firmly expressed. had the cfnict to pro
duce instant silence. The satirical portion
of the young gentlemen understood and ap
preciated its full force. They were sud
denly abashed. It was a contrast with
their own conduct too striking not to have
its own weight. The young wife who
was the object of it was so deeply affected
filled with gratitude that she had been
spared the infliction of a pain she so fer
vently deprecated- I -that she sprung from
her seat and fell upon his neck, and with.
a tear of joy glistening in her eye, said in
a subdued tone—
"My , beloved husband, that answer is
in consonance with what, to me, you have
ever been,--Would that I were more wor
thy of your most devoted affections."
"Mor ' e'lvorthy.mv dear wife," he re
turned, "more worthy you cannot be. You
are tome a jewel of .inestimable worth.
DeiriVed of you life would be to me but
one unrelieved blank."
Ile then impressed upon her forehead an
impassioned kiss, and' seated her gently
hdsi4le him.—
But the scene did not end here. The
voices of those whoa-few moments- before
were loudest in vain prattle;, were now
hushed in silence; and that silence needed
to be broken by some spirit that could sug.
gest. a different and more agreeable

indhlging, but which none now seemed

, "Are you not ashamed to be courting

"'rite company," he returned, with an
air of triumph which he could not well re

THE ECONOMY OF AGRICULTURE.
Liberality constitutes the economy of ag
riculture; perhaps it is the solitary human
oe4tion, to which the adage, 'the more
we the the more we shall receiye,' can be
justly applied. Liberality to the earth in
manufactbring and culture is the fountain
of its boubties to us. Liberality to domes
tic brutes is
. the fountain of matiure. • The
good work of a strong:leam cause a product
beyond the bad work of a weak one, after
deducting the additional eNpense of feeding
it, and it 'saves ri!o o ver 'half the labor of
_the_driver,:eunklin_ftillo win.: a bad on 6.—
Warm betties, produces health
strength and coinfort; 'preserves the lives
of a multitude of domestic animals to ditive
on less food, and secures 'from danger all
kinds of crops. And liberality in the ti
tensils of husbandry, saves labor, to a vast
extent, by providing the proper tool for do
ing the work both well and expeditously.
Foresight is another item in the econo

MR. CLAY IN THE SOUTH.
. , '
\ -
110-Mr. Clay's tour thrtugh tlm South is a LH•
emptied march.- Every where he is received with
the warmest manifestations- of popular regard,
frbm all Parties and both sexes. We have.. not
room — fer to many spirited notices of ' Os mei)•

by hi in' reply to Vie numerous add; - esse!i of

no whereiiithe South does Mr. CLAY shrink from
a free and clear avowal of those political printi.
plus which ho has unchangingly held throughout
his public life—no where does lie hesitate to de- •
dare himself in favor of aTatill which shall give
Just and reaeonedde protection to American indus.
try—and no wbeN . does ho hesitate to say that ,
the whole expenses of our - goVernment should be .
paid by revenues derived from iniporto, and the
prOcceds of the sale of the Public Land,'S be given
to the States! This is the true Whig doctrine.
We aprend if notice of Mr. CLAY'S remarks at
Montgomery, (Alabama) where lie replied to an
appropriate. address from Col. WiLtiasis:—
- It is impossible to give Mr Clay's reply,
as it was, like .most of his addresses pure
ly an extemperaneous effort, mostly in re
latiok to - topics presented in Col IVilhams'
address, mid of course 'no copy 'eptild.he
procured. To particular...subjects-named
the'Ciil. in hishappiest mariner, Mr.
Clay replied briefly and in their order.
He spoke of the war of 1812, to the dec
laration of 'which he yielded his hearty.and
cordial approval, and to carrying the cnunr
Cry honorably through wilich,'he pledged
and gave his energetic aid. Ile spoke of
the wroligs we had suffered which brought
on that ‘Var—of our gallant seamen who
had been dragged from beneath the folds of
their own stars and stripes to light in for:
sign vessels, and for the 'honor of a-coun
try that 'was not their own. And how
deeply and proudly they avenged those
wrongs when. opportunity was o givOn, on
their own eleinnt, by tearine down the
red cross of England, and nailing their own
striped bunting
,where it had been accus
tomed to wave. lle spoke of the last glo
rious act of that war, at N. Orleans, and
of the pride he felt in it while abroad, as
an American, citizen, negotiating a peace
at Ghent, and of the manner in which that
and other victories elevated the American
character and fame among the - Various na
tions of Europe.
Ho spoke of the Missouri question
which agitated the republic in such an
alarming degree in 1820, and of iris agen
cy in effecting its satisfactory Settlement,
as only art humble instrumentality such as
he and every good citizen should be ready
to employ, whim the welfare of that coun
try, and the integrity of die Union called.
lle spoke of the tariff compromise of
1830, and thanked Col. \V. for haying al
luded to that act as restoring peace to the
country ,when it seemed on thetive of a fear
ful civil and fatal convulsion. Peace, said
he, is what we want as a nation—peace—
patience—till all our immense resources are
fully developed, and then we can stand tip
—alone—such a people as the sun never be
fore shmie upon. And with peace', union—
and that union could only be preserved un
impaired by the spirit of compronde—con
ciliation-a giving up of minor interests and
local benefits for the good of the whole.
A ffreat American heart implanted in each
„
r citizen where there 'should be no room for
the growth of jealousies or local prejudices,
but in every throb of which each should
feel that the whole- . country was ills coon
try--rrs glory ins glory-and he an Amer
ican citizen.
But there vas one thing, he continued,
that had given him more heartfelt gratifica
tion than any plaudits' which his public
acts might have iron for him. It was the
allusion in Col. Williams speech to the
fact th4t hts course had beep an upright
one. it mils his noblest aspiration to be
thought to he', and to merit the appellation
of an honest man. WhatiA;er faults I may
have had, said Mr. Clay, (placing his hand
upon his heart)—"Whatever - faults I may
have lhad, 1 have never concealed anything
here from my countrymen. They know
mu. They read me :is they would read a
book—and I rejoice at it-41 . it were other
! wise, if I could not be understood, I should
be unworthy of. myself, of the country I
[most love, and of my countrymen, who
have now and so often manifested their
respect for me."
Ills speech was emciliatory, respectful
to all, no.attempt at di,splay, simple, plain,
Unadorned . , and unstndied,.eoming from a
I heart HI of deep feeling, swelling up with
detiotion' to his Gauntry- and herypeculiar

, TIIE IVIFE ' S fId*LUENCE, ' --AlOph and
Beth were brothers.: Aleph Married . a pil.
ous woman of irespectaldu'religious
fatni
ly. I met him in hisyarb, walking around
with . vigor and speed, an , erect, portly,.
ruddy, robust man: His outbuildings,
were numerous; and his yard was full of
wood,utensils and materials for 'veil. I
went into his house. It was large well .
finished and; well furnished. ''Thera were
books there, and they 'seemed to be'read
and studied. Aleph was a pillar in the
church, the• parish and the town; for he
had a good wife. "A wise woman buildeth
her house.' Iler husband is known in the
gates, when he Bitted] among the elders of
the laud.
,She looketh well to the ways
of her household, and eateth not the bread
of idleness. Her children rise up and call
her blessed; her husband also and he prais
eth her. Favor is deceitful and beauty is
vain; but a woman that fearetlf the Lord
Shall be praised. Give her the fruits of
her hands; and let her own works praise
her in the gates." , •
Beth had a good disposition. He was
industrious, steady and. prudent. He _was,
honest and moral, and respected . religion ;
but he hail a prior wife. His tall form was
bomMil down. ' On his face was the .c
-pressiOn of care and despondency and his
movements were of the same character.
With the, companiOn and family that he
had ; he possessed neither spirit nor ability
to . do any thing Tor the promotion of reli
gion and the imblic good. He did - not
prosper.' There was the aspect of naked
ness about his barn, about his house and
within his doors. Il is family did not grow
up.in'good and reipeetable habits.
Their character and condition were not
such as to cheer him. Ile drooped at
length and died.. lie made no•profession
of religion, but he cordially welcomed, my
visits as a minister, and I indulged some
hope that death waS - gain to him; but as he
lived so he died, in. a 'Awnless state of
mind. There was considerable intemper- , '
nice and looseness of principle and prac
tice in other branches of morals. In the
sinking condition of the family, the influ
ence' of the poor wife was to be seen.—
Sli'e was not herself vicious but she had
no high moral principles, no cultivation of
mho, no interest in the imprOvement of
society, no zeal for neatness and comfort,
for whatsoever things arc lovely and of
good report. II cr want of the qualities of
the virtuous woman described in Proverbs,
made her a poor wife, and her husband a
poor parishioner. 1 seem to selhis stoop
ing form and care-worn face pai:sing before
.tae. I seem to see his dilapidatetlbuildings.
I scent , !.p see the neighborhood presenting
all around the blighting influence of a slack
wqrui—a pool. wife—upon her children.
Talk to me of educating young men, and
of training them up to be good citizens,
good members of churches, and good sup
porters of religious societies, and I tt ill tell
you to educate young women to be good
wives, if you will have men be happy meih
gond citizens and good parishioners.—Pas

THE PIItSICIAN.--"There is scarcely a
profession in which the sympathies of its
professors arc more pair fully excited than
that of the medical practitioner. How of

bers of which aro drawn together by the
closest bonds of love! How painful to
meet the enquiring gaze of attached friends
or weeping relatives, directed towards
hiM ia tiu?t of consolation; assurances of
safety, which ho cannot, give! And how
melancholy is it to behold the last ray of
hope which had lingered upon the face of
affection, giving place to the dark cloud' of
despair!

utter prostration of the spirit beneath the
blow!
