THE Brreo Bit.---A good story is told of a chap in North Carolina, who went the entire figure in the way of mar rying all the girls who would have him, without waiting for any of them to die off a. the law directs. After having mini. :1 the thirteenth, some of his first lovers came down upon him and had him lodg ed in jail. But a person so fond of per fect liberty, and who could get into Ily two, with such ease, found little difficulty of getting out of the "jug," and the nett liens of hitn lie •vas running at with a heavy reward offered for his e%i•nsion. He was shortly recogni - ,y a gentleman, who, anxious to get, reward, invited him to the house, de sired him to sit down, calling his wife to cnat with him as an inducement to detain riiin there, while he made some excuse for leaving a few moments and started for a constable to arrest the runaway.

LADIES-THINK OF THIS •Wile men owe much of their vileness to women of churactir who hardly ever scruple to receive them into their society, if the men are rich, talented and fashion able, even though they are guilty of ever so much baseu.•ss to other women." •V ho said that? It is "true as a book" —and truer than a great many books: which are wri: ten in these days, and that do not contain half so much value as is embraced in the foregoing paragraph. It is astonishing to us that ladies, both map. rigid and unmarried, who appear to value their characters and who certainly move with much ton in society, will reel:Fre ins to their parties and caress—nay, will not hesitate to be seen in public places, arm in arm with men whose characters are pretty well understood to be bad in the worst sense that should be odious and a bominable to a pure female mind. We have even seen the society of such peo ple honored and preferred overturn of ex emplary characters, merely because the latter could not be called rich or fashion able. Such an error as this in the female sex is a positive injury to the cause 01 sound morals. Ladies need not wonder 'at the iniquity there is in the other sex, 'as long as they do not make guilt a dis qualifying circumstance against them.— ' l'hey should scorn even the approach of such wretches—for wretches they are, though high in office and rich as Crccsos —and repel their presence as an affront and insult to their sex. Let them do this, and the guilty would soon fall to the ignii minious level to which their infamous con duct shout reduce them. We would not be unjust in this matter, but really we never can see ladies of quality allows ing themselves und,r any circumstances, iu the company of men whose chastity is suspected, without having our own fears that all is not innocent on their own side. A woman, as well as a man, should be known by the company she keeps. t I4 OUTMEIIN NOTIONS OF YANKIII:Se-.• Suppose a farmer in Vermont has six sons ; one, perhaps, will remain to be a, stay and stuff to the good old man, when he totters down the hill toward the suti• • set of lift; but another first gets to be a schoolmaster, then studies law, flourishes a while before the courts, goes to Con• gress, and finally is Governor of the slate. A third pushes off on foot to Boston, and drives stage for a time, then tends a bar in a tavern for a while, and at last is a clerk in a store. Here he gains the confidence of his employers—at twenty one is admitted into partnership, and is soon a merchant of established reputa ton. l'he fourth is a wild roving fellow, who' first goes to sea before the mast but the Yankee is still in him, and, his wild oats brine sown, he at length becomes captain 'of a packet, and at the age of fifty is a weather-beaten seaman, and retires upon a comfortable income. The fifth is a pedlar, and circulates tin ware for Italia dczen years through the southern States. He then goes on a hun ting expedition to the Rocky Mountains, after his return, he officiates as steward on board a Mississippi steamboat. Being of a musical turn, he joins a caravan, and plays the clarionet tin ough all the princi pal cities of the U. States. He then shoots off to Kentucky, where he keeps schrol for a short time. He next removes to Alabama, where with a capital of two or three thousand dollars, which he has sa ved, he sets up a store in a new town, still coveted with stumps. The town increas es, and our young merchant flourishes. In due time he has extensive cotton lands. These he cultivates with care, and year by year adding acre to acre:becomes a wealthy planter, rerpected and beloved by all around him. The sixth is a favorite son, and like most favorites, comes very near being spoiled. He is sent to college, and there acquires some knowledge, and a good es.' liniation ofiiiinself. But he chalices to be sent to one of these colleges, where there is little intercourse between the pupil and instructor, and where a parcel of young men are left without rudder or compass, at the most stormy and dangerous period of life. Ile catches, therefore, the infec• tion of bad principles, and goes forth with a diseased and Impure spirit into the world. He is bred a lawyer,—he has talents, perhaps gi•uius ; he commences life with fair prospects, but still with the idea that fortune is to b, obtained without eltort. L ife is disappointed; he loses his friends, nil is un the point aiming lost to society; ant the Yankee is still in him. His fatii •r's honorable example, his mother's re ijous council comes to his aid: - Broil and evil are at strife, hut the forme, ,revails ; he shakes off his induteuee, hr ramples his vices beneath his feet. lle makes a bold effort, and removes to he wide valley of the Mississippi, and stablishes himself as a lawyer in Lute vi ••inity of some court house, still surrouti led with the relics of the forest, Ile de• ..tea himself carefully to his profession, tad at the age of tarty, is honored and re• •pected as the Chief J ustice of the State. .Such, or something like this, is the history of many a New Etigtinil former's . ---'® BOTTOXI.E3% LAX E."--The (0110%1/ilia k the first notice we have ever met with of very remarkable Pond in Sussex COUII 'y, New York. li the folio wing account saken from the Ti toy Mail he true, it dis closes a curious natural phenomenon. . . hite lake is situ:o;d about one mile west of the l'aulies Kill, in the town of ,Stillwater.

Ma•reens.—The Pailadelphia Inq tie. rot Thursday says— The opinion gains strength that the re sumption will take place on the 15th of next month, especially as we have now further reports that the loan to the east has been fully effected. Speculations, however, are likely to continue until the day of resumption arrives, especially as stone persons are desirous that this deal • ruble consummation should fail, and thus certain stocks which they have agreed to ' deliver on time will 'depreciate in price. Others again insist that a resumption will take place for exactly the contrary reason.

It is a labotired docu ment throughout, in favor of the Sul.- treasury and against a National Batik We will attend to it next week. ABSTRACT FROM THE I PR ESI DEN T'S MESSAGE. The tone of the message is generally j Loco loco. It commences with stating !that the nation has avoided interference with t e affairs of o her countries, and by correct dealing has acquired an honors. ble standing among the nations of the I earth, must of whom seek our alliance. tNothing since the adjournment occurred to disturb the harmony between us and other nations. The nut thernlboundary diffi utiles have beau under discussion, only interrupted by the British minister refer. ring to his government fur furth6r instruc• Cons. Hopes are expressed that the' whole will be speedily settled. The three commissioners appointed by this govern ment to view the disputed territory will probably throw new light on the question It is probable that after tut titer investiga , tiers the whole will be referred to some friendly power. Treaties have been made with Belgium ('ncluiling the settlement of some old questions) with Hanover and Po:tugal, and our relations remain good with all the other European powers, A commission er is now in Germany on the subject or the tobacco trade. The claims on Mexico are under nego elation. The treaty with Brazil will expire in :)ecember, 1341. Chili has agreed to in lemnify the owners of the Macedonian. 1819) and other claims are being press. :d. The line between Texas and this coun try will be settled next season.: The sound (?) condition of the nation al finances are referred to with triumph. Th- distribuii.in of the surplus revenue and the reduction or the tariff interfered Hith the public treasury greatly; yet all demands have been promptly met, only four and a half millions of treasury notes being now out government is complimented for maintain:n , the staip , a,d of ut relic v. The indebtedness of the States to for. eigo powers is mentioned as a rraxon why idle citizens of other nations may have in • terfered with o tr domestic conce The i g,overnment owes nothing abroad, and is tartly responsible for a small sum, borrow ed for some part of the District of Colum bia To keep clear of these mortifying positions, the action of government must be kept within bounds, and close econo- Imy must be consulted. Economy, it is ;stated, has been adopted since 1838, and Ithe only extraordinary expenditures have ,been thotm connected with the Indians. In Jannat y next there will be in the Tress ury d 11,500,000 enough, with ordinary in c me t.t meet expenses. The Sub•treasury is landed, and a few alterations in details hinted at. A few pazes are then devoted to arguments ag ain,t a national bank and a national debt. Bo h have been avoided, and a system of keonomy introduced in their place. (so !says the message.) Reference is again !made to the economy of the government land the system of specie payments, no ten Idinz to prevent the extent of evil felt by many individuals from excessive bade, etc. Reference k then made to the Indian distethenevs, the state of the Naiy, and Exploring Expedition. Mention is made that the Post Master General has a proposition for lightening ' the mails, reducing postage, and limiting regularity of service; and in reference to the Slave trade it is suggested that our cit izens be forbidden to treat with the Slave Factories in Africa.—[U.
