Matri@ony.-The following beautiful
extract IS from "Family Lectures, by
Mrs. N. Sproat, of Taunton
CatSkiU Recorder.
a great proportion of the wretched-
ness which has so often embittered mar
RED life, am persuaded, has originated
IN negligence of trife8. Connubial
happiness is thing of too fine texture
to be handled roughly. 1t is a sensitive
plant, which will not bear even the touch
OF unkndness-a delicate flower, which
lndifferencewill chill and suspicion blast.
1t must be watered with the showers Of
tender afection--eXpanded with the
cheering glow of attention, and guarded
by the iinpregnable barrier of mistaken
coVdence.-Thus matured, it will bloom.
with fragrance in every season of life.
and sweeten even the loneliness of de-
Ginning years.
The learned JOHNSON, with all his
affected contempt for female society, was

qulslte compliment was never offered

Imagine LADIES born with an exemption
from care and sorrow, lulled in perpetual
quiet, and feasted with unmingled plea
sure; for what can interrupt the content
ment OF those, upon whom one age has
iabored after another to confer honor and
accumulate immunities; those to whom
rudeness is infamy, and insult cowardice;
whose eye commands the brave, and
whose smiles soften the severe; whom
the sailor travels to adorn, the soldier
oieeds to defend, and the poet wears out
his life to celebrate; who claim tribute
from every art and science, and for whom
all who approach endeavor to multiply
delights,without requiring ANY return.but

II this way tue tire almost imperceptbly
progressed uutiil it reached the roof, when
the citizens Of Philadelphia and lis vicinity
were presented with one OF those sublime,
bot awful spectacles, which seem almost
inseparable from human calamity.
About ha past 9, the s!eeple fell in, and
happily did no damage to any person or
