Messrs. Jones Epeuns.—W ell, gentleman,

lungs, and was for seventy-two days in

heightened by an attack of dysentery. I was

of Maine," from whims I /andel on the 28th,

scarcely able to swallow anything ? and I did

thrown up again.

my stomach. Life could not last under these
circumstances: and, aCcordingly, the physi

unsuccessfully to rescue me from the grasp
of the dread Archer, frankly told me they
could do no more for me, and advised me to
see a clergyman, and to snake, such disposi

An acquaintance who visited me at the hospi
tal, Mr. Frederick Steinbron, of Sixth below
Arch street, advised me, as a forlorn hope, to
try your Bitters, and kindly procured a bottle.
From the time r commenced taking them the
gloomy shado sl of death receded, and I am
now, thank God for it, getting bettor. Tho'
I have taken but two bottles, I hare gained
ten pounds, and I feel sanguine of being per

whom I have heard nothing for eighteen
months : for, gentlemen, I am a loyal Virgin

your invaluable Bitters I owe the certainty of
life which has taken the place of vague fears
--to your Bitters will I owe the gtourious pri

How soothing is its sound !
Like strains of far-off music heard
On some enchanted ground.

When those most dear depart,
And in the pleating prospects seek
Balm for the bleeding heart.
We'll meet again ! the lover;cries,
And oh ! what thought but this

Of the lust parting kiss !

Reside the dying bed,
When all tEetsoul by grief is stirred,
And bitter tears arc shed.

While bending o'er the.tomb;
For oh ! that hope, so bright and dear,
Can pierce it ;deepest gloom.

ImAN.—Place' Frei among floe rs,
foster her as a tender plant, and eis
a thing of fancy, waywardness,
.-and'
sometimes folly—annoyed by a dew
drop, fretted by the touch of a butter
fly's wing, and ready to faint at even
the rustle of a beetle ; the zephyrs are
too rough, the showers too heavy, , and
she is overpowered by the perfuthe of a
rose bud. But let real calamity come,
rouse her affections, enkindle the tires
of her heart, and mark her then ; how
her heart strengthens itself—how strong
is her purpose. Place her in the heat
of battle, and give her a child, a bird,
or anything she loves or pities, to pro
tect, and see her, in a relative instance,
raising her white arms as a shield, as
her own blood crimsons her unturned
forehead, praying for life to protect the
helpless. Transplant her in the dark
places of earth and awaken her energies
to action, and her breath becomes a
jimiling, her presence a blessing. She
disputes, inch by inch, the stripe of the
stalking, pestilence, when man, the
strong and brave, shrinks away pale and
affrighted. Misfortune haunts her not;
she wears away a life of silent endurance,
and goes forward with less timidity than
to her bridal. In , prosperity she is
.a
bud full of colors, waiting but for the
winds' of adversity, to scatter them
abroad—pure gold; valuable, bat un
tried in the furnace. • In short, woman
is a miracle—a mystery, the centre from
which radiates the great charm of ex
istence.

"To me he came: my heart with rapture sprung,
To bee the blushes,
when his faltering tongue
hove..My eyes consent ieveal,
And plighted vows our faithful passion seal."
In the present organization and status
of Society, there are often social and
legal connections formed, which at first,
Would seem to have been founded upon
proper grounds, and from proper prin
ciples; but which subsequently prove
to have beetrtaltogether injudicious, or
erroneous, in conception, in consumma
tion, and in interior purpose. Not that
the parties to such connections are, or
have been, willfully evil or perverse, but
that they have acted altogether from
the dictates of their own, proprium or
particular selfhood, and have been ig
+ orant or indiffei ent about the qualities
f their own hearts, and the character
of the affections which have been instru
mental in leading them into association
and connection.. The uncongenial and
repulsive aspect of these unfortdnate
connections become more apparent when
it is discovered that, mentally and mor
ally, one or more of the parties manifest
evidences of fossil fixedness, or retro
gression, whilst the others are imbued
with a laudable spirit of elevation and
progression. But in no other connec
tion that is possible to be formed be
tween human beings, are the consequen
ces more disastrous and more detrimen
tal, to the happiness and' real welfare, of
the parties, than they are in cases of
marriage union between the sexes; for,
in such a connection, not only may the
happiness and present and future w6l
- of the immediate participants be
concerned, but they may also involve
the temporary and eternal condition of
generations unborn ; or according to
the testimony of gcripture, "the thir
teenth or fourteenth generation" of their
posterity. In illustration of this unfor
tunate state of things, we may be per
mitted to cite one of the constantly oc
curring examples, which may daily be
met within any of the walks of life; from
the occupant of the humble cottage to
that of the gaudy palace.
At the age of two and twenty, Mr.
Theodore !l'hometo ,was a poor mechanic,
of ordinary intellectual and physical
apacity ; and, having sprung from a
very ordinary and commonplace parent
age, be bad' not the antecedents neces
sary to stimulate in him any extraordin
ary postcedents; and therefore, up to
this period in life, he had done little
more than vegetate under the control
and guidauce .of whomsoever should
happen, for the time being, to be his
muster or his employer. Two or three
circumstances in the history of Mr.
Thomew, when a mere boy, may have
had a tendency to make. him humble and
diffident, acd place a very low estimate
upon himself and his parentage. En
dowed with a reasonable share of obser
vation and reflection, he discovered that
his parents were very poor, and did not
bear their poverty contentedly or har
moniously—evincing that they both had
seen better days in 'early life, and before
they had joined their fortunes together
in this world. This discovery led Mr.
Thomew to rely upon his own energies,
and therefore about the age of ten or
eleven years he had already left the pa
ternal domicile ;—without education;
without special parental guidance ; with
out a fixed purpose, and almost without
God—to commence the battle of life on
his own account. Too grateful in ob
taining patronage and employment, un
der any circumstances and on any con
ditions, he was content to work, more
for the mere privilege of having some
thing to do, than from what ,he . might
reasonably expect to obtain for his la
bor. After having been boxed about
some four or five years in his tenderer
youth, Mr. Thomew had finally, at the
age of fifteen, been bound an apprentice
to a kind-hearted, bat dissolute and
sensuous master, whom .he faithfully
served for five long, years, in forming
habitations for the wants of the merely
external man ; and, without having been
encouraged in, or having availed himself
of any opportunity, to cultivate and
minister to the wants of his own moral
and intellectual nature, or to that of his
"fellow craftsman."
About the' same . age, but somewhat
more fortunately circumstanced' in life,
was Miss Doretha Dollman, at the period
when Mr. Thomew had attained hit
twenty-second year. Miss Dollman's
parents were of the class called "poor,"
but they were still industrious and pro-
vident ;' and having little or' no appreci
ation of' 'the wants of the mental Mall,
they`were contented and' happy in pre
viding for the Wants of the physical,
with'an •additional lendable,' yet very
blind; devotion to an nfaihoMithle and
dogmatical faith, the mechanical fer:
formance of whose rites, pass current
in this world for religiOn. Miss Doll
man's parents were not hypocrites•--far
from it—but they were illiterate and
unsophisticated, and could .comprehend
very little that was not susceptible of
an occular and tangible demonstration,
and doubtless they had long since con
cluded, that "where ignorance is bliss
it is folly to be wise." kiss Denman
had been sent to School and had learned
to read and write, but to judge from her
'subsequent, practice and course in life,
it is doubtful if she ever for a moment
supposed_that what she learned in the
school room, was ever intended,. to_ be
made use of anywhere else,—in the
daily intercourse or business concerns
of the domestic circle, or in society at
large.
Miss Doliman was a "right down"
pretty .girl at twenty-two—albeit she
considered it no sin to pass for eight
een—with her heavy dark- curling locks
and her large blue eyes, bat her figure
was short, and her gait inclined to bob
bling. She was also humane, and pure
minded ; and, with all her illiteracy,
was endowed with more than an ordina
ry share of industry, economy, prudence,
and propriety. Under different auspi
ces and circumstances, with two or
three inches added to the height of her
stature, she might have made a most no
ble specimen of a woman, but unfortu
nately she took the fossil and nonpro
gressive status of her parents as her
Standard of excellence, and remained
through life as fixed and immovable as
they.
At the period when this history
opens, Mr. Theodore Thomew and Miss
Doretha Dollman were socially, pecuni:
arily, and intellectually equal,—not
morally, so—Miss Dol'man was always
more moral than Mr. Thomew, but this
was perhaps not so much from the great
er efforts on her part to cultivate an
intelligent code of morals as her guide
and minister in life, as from a strong .
hereditary predisposition, transmitted
to herby her parents. Some of her
exhibitions of humanity, however, were
considered ridiculous, even in the esti
mation of her best friends; for, like
"Uncle Toby," she would open the door
and hid an annoying fly depart into a
cold and ungrateful" World, rather than
put an end to its importunities and its
existence, by crushing it in an instant
under her heel. This was directly in
opposition to the seemingly cruel trait
in Mr. Thomew's character, which was
to consign a thing to an immediate and
prompt punishment or death, when. it
became manifest that the object deserv
ed to be so disposed of.
Thomew and Miss Dollman had
now been on terms of intimacy, with
little or no interruption, for two or
three years already, and the good citi
zens of the village of Goodhaven, with
their accustomed judgement and premp
titude, had pronounced them a very
proper "match" to be.united together in
bonds matrimonial. Miss Dollman may
have coincided in this judgement of the
male and female silvans of the village,
but somehow Mr. Thomew never for a
moment dreamed of such a contingency,
until his fondness for, and his monopoli
zation of Miss Dorethe.'s society, left
him, in strict honor, no other alternative
than to propose,—prospectively at least
—which was of , course accepted., fdr
Doretha being already twenty-two, her
gossiping female associates of the elder
class, had faithfully instructed her, that
now was the time,—and to "strike while
the iron was hot." Before the consum
mation of their nuptials, however, Mr.
Thomew conceived, that it would en
large his mind and experience if be were
„
to see something more of the world than
was to be met with in the village of
Goodhaven, and in the, meantime Miss
Doretha. would be benefited by a session
or two at, a country school, for deficient
as he himself was, yet she was eminently
more so, to those'essentials of education
which constitute the groundwork of a
progressive and useful' life. True to
their mutual Promises, made and n'onse
crated upon a beautiful moonlight eve
ning, beneath- the waving boughs bf a
weeping willoW;Ahey 'wrote each other
often,, after hiP. - Vnolinw4a-d taken his
departure fora , Aistant city, where he
ree:ded for several months. The, part
ing shock was a sad one to Miss Doll
man, but she survived it; and the, first
letter she received from her lover, which
was full of protestations of c:onstancy,
restored her mind and feelings to 'their
usual equanimity. Mr. Themew, how
eier, was `not 'favoiably affected with
Miss Doretha's epistolatory replies to
his' letters. They were too common=
place and did not contain the leitst par
ticle of poetry or romance theiecom•
position ; moreover, the sphere that
seemed to emanate from them did not
breathe the artlessness of his Doretha
of the earlier days of their acquaintance
ship ; and they pained him so much
that he' felt it a difficult matter to' read
them , over a second time, and therefore
as he read them once, he destroyed them.
Nor could he trace anything of the dil
ligent school-girl advancement in theM ;
in short, they seemed like the hand-to
hand compositions of a second or_ third
rate amenuensis. Mr. Thomew's mind
had made a step or two forward in the
world of literature ; a world, the exist
ence of which he did, not seem to be
conscious of before; and therefore he
felt anxious that his Doretha should
share with him the pleasure which it
afforded, 'and be a sympathizer with him
in all the trials and labors which its
exploration involved. Her letters did
not satisfy him that such would certain
ly be the case, even if they were united
in marriage. Mr. Thotnew suddenly
returned to his native village after an
absence of a year, and found his Doretha
improved in appearance and unswerved
in constancy. He was too humane to
bring about a repetition of the scene of
their former parting, and therefore after
a brief period, Mr. Theodore Thomew
'and Miss.Doretha Dollman were quietly
married..
Perhaps within the social sphere in
which Mr. Thomew and Miss Doilman
moved, there was not a pair of individu
als that were more favorably regarded
and known ; and in their way, these
good opinions of their fellow associates
may have been fully merited. They
were both orderly, industrious, economi
cal, affable, and of pleasing person and
address; and although making no spe
cial profession of religion or morality,
yet they in their lives were governed by
rules of conscience. From Mr. Thom
ew's humble beginning in life, and from
the contumely and reproach which he
suffered in his early youth on account
of his abject and seemingly forlorn con
dition, he had come to think so dispara
gingly of himself, that he could hardly
realize the thought even that any being
on earth could entertain any feelings of
affection for him. Ile never had come,
into social contact with any female since
his juvenile school days, except those
who had exercised the functions of an
austere or sharp mistress-ship ever him
and some of these had imbued him with
feelings of terror. Under their criti
cisms and commands, he would often
tremble and sweat, in a paroxysm of
embarrassment. As he approached a
state of manhood—or perhaps the stat
ure of manhood—he very naturally de
veloped a growing love for the opposite
sex, and Miss Doretha Doilman was the
first female of his choice, who had re
ceived his advances with kindness and
modest affection.: He himselfregarded
it also an act of condescension, in, her
receiving those uncou attentions,
which he was alone capable of giving.—
Often would he 'consult the little, crack
ked looking-gbiss, suspended frorn a
nail, in a beam of his humble chamber,
and'woader bow any female could pos
sibly think sufficient of him, to allow
him to call her wife, or even friend. But
Miss Doretha, even in opposition to a
manifest disinclination on the part of
her family, would treat with studied inn
difference—thongh not with rudeness—
the attentions of all other suitors,--of
whom there were a number—and ob
served a singleness of attachment for
Mr. Thomew that seemed somewhat
surprising; and no doubt justly surPri
sing, in the eyes of the merely mercena
ry ; fora was known that Mr. Thornew
had hardly "two coppers to rub against
each: other"—as it was elegantly ex=
pressed by some ' of her female foes—
whilst other- suitors of Miss Doretha,
were tae possessors of sufficient of world
ly wealth to establish her immediately
as the mistress of a goodly mansion.--
"What in the world can she see in that
raw-boned and slender-shanked knight
of the jack-plane?" was often repeated
by a few of the disparaging busy-bodies
by which Miss Donated was sometimes
surrounded in the domicile of lief pa
rents,—"aye, What ccpi she see " -
Under these circumstances it was not
at all wonderful that Mr Theodere
Thomew should remain constant:anti
consistent in his plighted
_faith to Miss
Doretha Doilman, even when through

an intuitive perception; he was admon
ished that the dissimilarity in their un
developed tastes, and habits . of thought,
might ultimately manifest themselves
on planes too diverse ; for them to unite,
in anunalloyed and. congenial ;compan
ionship for life. It cannothe laid down
as criminal in Miss , Doretha that, she,
had no taste for music, or dancing, : or
general literature, and ; that her greatest
delight was in the, performance of do :
mestic duties alone ; for her proclivities
in this direction had been inherited,from
her parentage,,and she did , not a sses to
be any more able to forego'them than a
duck is able to forego tfie water... .Sila
seemed to be honestly laboring under
the impression that those . tvhb dev;te
themselves to book-learning and' Othaf
accomplishments, were altogethei'unfit
to perform the business or doniehtiO
concerns of life. In this opinion 'ilfe
was not alone, for her parents' and ninny
of her associates, and many of the world
at large entertain the same hPitilon'i
sod upon a merely superficial view of
life, there seems to be much - to" kit:it:if"
an opinion of this kind ; for many, of the
educated females with whodi Miss, t0.'611 7
man came in social contact, were as ter .,
dant and as shiftless in essential dom4s:
tic affairs as a South sea Islander.--
Neither Mr. Thomew no'r'• M'ds"
man'had made sufficient adianceinent,
morally or intellectually, to r@alih Ilia
"a little learning is a dangeratiS thirig"
and therefore they had not learned ; to
understand that the highest accomplish,
ments and the most essential, dcmestio
occupations, could be so blended in
,the
same individual, as to add a grace. and
an efficiency in their happy combination,
that could not be attained by the igno
rant and the boorish. Moreover, whnt 7 ,
ever Mr. Thomew's ideal may have been
in this respect,it is certain that his peen,
niary circumstances were such as topre,
elude the possibility of his, entering into
the marriage state at all; unless with
one possessing the very patient and
selfdenying qualities of Miss Doretba
Dollman ; and therefore, having in hen:
esty of purpose plighted his faith to her,
he entertained no more idea of doing
violence to that pledge, than he did of
throwing himself from the steeple of the
village church.. He had neverviolated
his word even in the smallest thing, for
which he did not feel the keenest lash
ings of conscience, and his pledge with
Miss Dollman he held sacred above all
other engagements, whatever censer
quences to his or her Welfare or happi
ness might ultimately grow out orit;
and so they were accordingly married.
