It is a humiliating fact that these are the two leading questions with a vast ma jority of thu ladies of the present day.— It mutters not whether the adorable speci men of nature's architecture have two grains of common sense, ur five per.ny weights of moral principle or not, all that is required for him is to be beautiful ninny or a millionaire fool. Now we have no idea of fighting with a man because he is fortunate enough to be good looking, nor of quarrelling with him because for tune has favored him with her blessings ; but we do feel like pitying and ,condimn eng these weak puerile ((quinines who are ever asking—..ls he rich." or ~I s he handsome ?" We firmly believe that there is nothing which has done so much to undermine the marriage relations, to spread gloom and desolatiod over families, as a devotion to the sentiment expressed in these two•ques lions. Far too many ladies of the prey• ant day form their notions of love and marriage from sickly novels, from theat rical performances and from'extereal ap• pearance alone. To their misinformed fancy of marriage is the seed of inefTabl joy only, and the future spreads itself as a bright May day, and golden years dance in bridal hours. Such an idea of married life must necessarily be changed into a wilderness by experience, and chagrin and unhappiness will, of course, folhw. The two unmatched spirits are but held in hate ful contiguity by a legal bond, while to heart they are divided by a torrent of very prssionate aversion. Let but these two questions govern her in the selection of a partner Ibr life, and it is a miracle if she does not reach the acme of earthly wretchedness—it's a miracle if every hope of happiness be not buried deep in the years of despair. Instead of indulging in these nonsensi col questions and notions concerninff ev ery silly idler who wears a fashionable coat and has a well devemped moustache let her but ask. I.ls he worthy of my love?' Let reason, judgement and deliberation weigh the matter well, and let the para mount question always be, what is his ' moral worth ? Hun he been a dutiful son and an afleetionate brother? if so, she may Le sure he is worth having. 'lbis last is a vita/ test, fora young man devoid of filial atintiod and fraternal love is too selfish to make a good congenial com panion. But most kdies new-a-days are not of the same material of which our grandmothers were made. Had we more Mary's like Washington's mother we would have more Washingtons. It was her hands which moulded his character to syinetary and moral beauty ; it was her prayers, her influence and her instructions which repressed and restrained the growth of evil qualities, and cultivated that divine life in his soul which led him to take coun sel of the God of battles—the Governor ot nations. Did she not truly help to a chieve the Revolution as if she had led the armies to battle ? 'Prue, she did it through her heroic eon, but she did it no less—and this is just as God would have every woman win her honors and re wards, through her brother, husband or child. But think you il:at such a spirit as that which Washington's mother possessed would stoop to ask—"ls he rich—is he handsome ?" Think you she would lama sure his worth by the broadcloth which he wore--sr the gold headed cane which he supported? Think you such a woman would marry a mart for his pretty faca or profuse whiskers ? ' The beauty which such a soul would crave, would be pure mindedness, sincerity and spotless charac ter. She would care very little for the dandy apollos of the present age, with their faultless forms in perfect coats, small white hands in Paris gloves, and dimiuu live feet in French boots. She would' understani. that there was so much thud expended in brushing up and beauti fying the outworks, they must necessarily have neglected to fbrsify the citadel with ih. She would argue that as ass untrod path may lead to a deserted house--so smooth forehead may point to an . empty brain. Let us hear lees of thin foolish banter ing about beauty and wealth ; this despi cable quizzing—go he rich—is he hand some 1" and let us lee more homage paid to real merit. ‘Ve are always sure to place that lady much below par, who is constantly prattlng and gibbling about handsome faces and well filled purses.— She never expects to be a help-mate, but rest assured she will be prodigious help Olt UNION, NOW AND roatvEN, ODIN AND INSIPARABLI.

But we would not give five cents for all the soltreliance she pessesses ; she is in truth the tender ivy twining itself about the oak, but let the lightning rend that oak and the frail ivy is trailing in the dust. It is the duty of every woman to acquire an inward principle of self sup port, Then, if the rock of their earthly strength be smitten, or the proud oak on which they lean, with the fondness of a first affection be blasted, they may never• theless, stand erect in the mournful tri umphant superiority, amid the hapless wreck. Some may, no doubt will, turn a very derisive picture. They have friends and circustances in their favor. But what if lortune has a home in your lather's halls, and the case and , elegance of fashionable life at your command. Suppose, even that you are already the bride of a schol ar; a genius, a merchant, or a statesman.— What if you are so surrounded by strong bands, and loving hearts, that to human eye it seems impossible you could ever fail of either friends or external resour ces %%That security have you for the pertnanancy of those ?

Show us the woman ..vho has properly looked out upon 16—upon its ditties and its trials.-and we will point you to one whose lips never whiningly ask, "Is he rich or is he handsome ?" It is enough for her to know that he pmesses a 'nasty heart full of noble qualities ; she is con- tested to share her cot with such an one and be sure she is appy, You will never hear such a wife upbraid her husband in misfortune or adversity; never see her sink and drag him down in the hour of trouble, you will never hear his difficulties greeted with tears and lamentations nor does she ever charge her conduct with folly. She feels her duty to cheer, not io depress ; to encourage, not to alarm ; to inspire with fresh spirit for renewed strug gles agaist misfortunes, not to plunge into despair or inactivity by her reprovings, Not so with those nag cr inquiries after wealth and beauty ; let misfortunes step into their homes and they pour the over flowing drop into the cup already full, they plunge the drowning victim beneath the wave.
