heightened by an attack of dysentery. I was
,then; removed from the 'lVhite House, and
sent to this city on board the steamer "State
of Maine," Wein which I 'andel on the 28th,
of June.- Since that time I. have been attout
as low, as any. one ceulti and still retain a

THE SOLDIER'S MOTHER.
I feel that thod art near, mother,
When death abroad is spread;
Thy form seems with me. e'en among
The dying and the dead!
Thy voice comes to me with each breeze
Thy smile where sunlight gleams ;
And through the night thy hand doth trace
Bright visions in my dreams.
Thou whisperest in mine ear, mother,
When sins my path beset , ;
And then. I tear myself away,
Without the least regret.
Thy words, once spoken, ever kept,
Are priceless gems to me; I
My peace on earth, my hope in /leaven—
owe it all to thee.
This world is not so bad, mother,
As some pretend to say:
'Tis good enough for him who tries
To walk in vutue'i
Whil in his early - Aka was taught,
tiaght,
Sin's beaten Mick to fear--
Who has a pious mother's:Words
Still hiring in his ear:
good enough for me. mother,
Though cold mid, drear at time", ,
Fur memory , takes thee with me through
All 'trials and all climes.
Thy voice comes to me with each breeze,
Thy smile where, sunlight gleams;
And through the night hand doth trace
Bright visions in my dreams.
A Noma PURPOSE. and the Glorious
Result.—There are as many roads to
fame' end fortune as there were gateways
to ancient Thebes. Your ambitious
warrior is for carving his way with the
sabre. Your aspiring politician for

consummate art ; but there is' one
broad grand path to the goal, along
which nothing base can travel. It is
the path set apart for the march of tal
ent, energy, and noble purpoise, and,
though full of obstacles, it contains none
which a great man cannot surmount:—
This fact has been exemplified in innu
merable instances, but iu few more for
cibly than in the career of Doctor Hot,

years he may be said to have been

Married Life.

CHAPTER VIHI. .
[A RATIONAL PHASE—Before.]
"With equal - grace 'and equal 'virtue formed.=
Hers, the mild lustre of the blooining risorn;
And his, the radiance of the rieen - day." ,
This world -is. perhaps not so much a
place- LO look for unalloyed happiness
in;a7l'it is a place to make the necessa
ry preparation for a higher state of
happiness in the world to come; and
the more it is regarded in this light, the
more happiness there will be even here,
and the less it will require, to make
mankind generally happy. True happi
ness is not predicated of merely earthly
possessions or honors; for these often
impose upon their possessois a bed of
iron or a crown of thorns ; nor' does
true happiness appertain to merely
in
tellectual and mental endowments ; Tot
these are as often cursed with the dem
ons of vice and discontent, as they are
blessed with that peace of mind which
" passeth understanding." The real
happiness cf any condition of life, but
most especially that of married life;
consists of singleness of purpose, diilu r
terestedoess, and a foregoing' and 'folk
getting of self, in all the relatitme end
intercourses of the married -partners.=--
So, long as either the one or the other
have thoughts, intents, and purposes
that are studiously and preinoditateilly
concealed from the other, or so long ail
one party is not deemed worthy to be
initiated into the secrets of the other,
there is. a want of that mutual eonfi
deuce and affectionate esteem, which is
so necessary in constituting them a har
monious and united pair. The consti
tution of the female mind and its affec t
tionsmust - netessarily differ in kind anT
degree from that of the male mind, al
though not in its quatities or
, its general
aims and ends ; but these two minds
must severally from a half mind,—no
more nor no less—in order that when
they are united, they may form a perfect
and congenial whole. Any pride- of
heart or position, which may suggest a
fear that the man or woman may Ap
pear less in the eyes of the world than
they deserve to be, is foolishly , and fatal
ly detrimental to a true marriage union,
and is as inimical to the real happiness
of the married pair,—no matter what
their condition and expectations in life
may be ....../111 any diverse -contingency
that can possibly arise between Ohm.—
These are rational considerations that
ought to have their' weight with the sex
es, in their future determinetions of life,
in order that blind and misguided pas
sion, may not assume the dominancy
over minds, that enlightened reason
ought to direct and control.
Perhaps in all the valley of Twicken
ham, there was not to be found a female
in whom was blended the most graceful
and at the same time most domestic
accomplishments, than was to be found
in the person, the manners, and the
general conduct and bearing, of Miss
Lilly Twickley. At the period of Lil
ly's life to which we have special refer
ence, she was a blooming maiden of five
and•twenty summers, but physically did
not appear more than eighteen or twen
ty. In body and mind she seemed to
be in the full, and equally poised de
velopment, of mature womanhood. The
most fashionable and juvenile Misses of
the valley, as well as a few of the most
superficial of their mother!, thought her .
a little old-fashioned, or perhaps eccen
tric; because under no circumstances
whatever, would she allow herself to as
sert anything more or anything less,
than . what she conscienciously believed
to be the truth ; and yet she never
studied to be grave or prudish. Lilly
possessed great singleness and-purity of
mind, and never for a moment dreamed
of advancing any worldly or moral in
terest in which she was concerned, by
any of those artful schemes and advan
cos which are so prevalent among the
sexes of the present day, and which so
many feel in duty bound to resort to.
Some of her best friends,—those who
imagined they bad the highest apprecia
tion of her worth, and were exceeding
ly Solicitoukabout her worldly welfare—
thought that she was too indifferent to
her own. interests—too unselfish and
self-sacrificing, to be left to her own
guidance in those matters of the heert,
upon whicls-so much of the present sod,
future happinees of the huintin fatally
depends. The -consequence of Lilly's
course and ctinduct was, that, although
she was universally esteemed, yet all of
her immediate fassociatet Awl beim, pop .
tied some four or five years, to Ong
men or women of_apparently the most
unexceptitinali characters and atanding.!
.in ..iniciety without eliciting• the least
,anxietykon ber'part—indeed,she seemed ,
to be the,only , person in the valley, that
was at all unconscious of her advancing 1
years.and apparently lessening °Oporto-I
This was notr-Mecause 'she was
indifferent, to 'the' esteem.and, the legiti

cultivated all the affectiens• and graces
.that may adorn, the heart of, tbisitrue
sister, sweetheart, wife and, mother, and
faithfully believed that in,his own.good
time, the Lord would provide, and that

her to desir'e a chnsige in 'hea cOcidition. '

ment to gainsay the peculiar opinions
which Mark Land eistertained 'upon the
subject ofmarriake,ind'thisi moral' and
social relations of the sexes, yet; Many
-
of the younger portion of the commiri
ty thought them a little pro,sey, or void
of that agreeable romance which, so
many, of the thoughtlese admire;, and
the elder, portion looked upon them as
notions that would be exploded when he
came to realize as much of married life
as they had. 'Mark 'especially edrisbatted
the idea of "marry, came weal come Woe,"

that if it was' bestfor him, in this life,
