MAXIMS TO MARRY BY.
addressed 10 the Single Gentlemen.


Blackwood's Magazine, for the present month
contains light and amusing article under the
above title. We have not room for all the max.
inns which the writer addresses to the single
gentlemen on the all-important subject Of mar
riage; but we have extracted few Of them, fol
the edifcation of our readers.-Mercury.
MAXIM l.
Now, in making marriage, as in making love
and indeed in making most other things
the beginning it is that is the'difhcuty. But
the French proverb about becinnings-"C'estle
premier pas qu coute'--goes more literally TO
the arrangement of marriage; as our English
we'll illustrates the condition Of love-"The first
step over, the rest easy" Because in the mar
rying affair." it is, particularly, the first step
that costs"-as to your cost you will find, il
that step happens 10 go the wrong way. And
most men, when they go about the business Of
wedlock, owing to some strange delusion, be-
gin the affair al the wrong end They take a
fancy TO the white arms, sometimes only to the
kid gloves) or to the neat ANGLES OF peculiar
school girl; and conclude from these premises
that she is just the very woman OF the world to
scod a housefull of servants, and TO bring up q
dozen children! This is convenient deduc-
ton, but not always safe one'
MAXIM II.
White arms, and neat ANGLES, bring me, ma
turally, at once, to the very important conside-
ration Of beauty. For, dent suppose, because

1t may, at some time, be matter OF conslde-

widow. AS to the taste, myself will give no
opinion-I like both; and there are advantages
and disadvantages peculiar to either. II you
marry widow, think it should be one whom
you have known IN the lifetime of her husband;

Sketches of the Public Services Of Thomas Jefferson.
In your paper, which appears about the 4th
of July, have generally read some reminiscent
ces ofthe revolution, some ancient document
or noble effusion Of sentiment, which is calcu-
lated to revive in US the spirit and the princi-
pies of our fathers. Can any thing be more
salutary upon the public mind, or better caleu-
lated 10 perpetuate our liberties, than these &C.
casionai reviews Of the works of the illuslrious
statesmen who have gone before US? In such
exercise are we not as prohtably employed, at
least, as we would be in reading scurrlous es-
SAYS on the Presidential Election, or the still
more scurrilous speeches which have lately dis
praced the balls Of our national councils?
$40 free government, or the blessings oflib-
erty, can be preserved 10 any people but by a
firm adherence TO justice, moderation, temperance,
frngaEty, and ciytae, and by frequent recurrence
10 fund amenlal principles, sand 1t is our mu-
tual duty 10 practise towards each other christian
forbecrance, Lore and charity" These were the
wise sentiments of one OF the greatest and bes,
men who has ever lived, and unanimously a.
dopted by one Of the wisest bodies of men that
the world has ever seen, among the first * most
essential articles of their political creed. The
same sentiments, expressed in different form,
were afterwards most solemnly recommended
10 the people Of The U. States by the father OF
his country, when he took his last farewell OF
power and authority, and retired TO the scenes
of private life. An adherence to justice, moder-
alton, temperance, christian torbsarance, iors and
charity, and q frequent recurrence to fundamental
principles, are then essential TO the durability Of
this Republic in the opinion Of those who laid
its foundation.
For your next paper, which viii appear on
the 4th ofJuly, have copied the preamble 10
our act of religious freedom. 1t is the work Of
Thomas Jefferson, the author of that declara-
,;on which has made this memorable day one
Of national rejoicing. i have never noticed il,
n tho columns Of newspaper, and probably
ont Of the limits ofVirginia it has been rarely
.ssn The truths it contains viii ultimately
free the world of religious bigotry and intoler.
ance. Its adoption in this country constituted ID
a great epoch in the annals of mankind. 1t will
be distinguished upon the page OF history as

the story of modern Europe. Future genera.

Among the best specimens Of ALTERATION,
brated Cardinal Wolsey:
"Begot by butchers, but by bishops Jred
How high his honor holds his naughty head"
But the following unpublished sally, by the
erudi,e DR.. Parr, is not whit inferior. In a
company, consisting principally Of diyines the
conversation naturally turned on the merits of
the late head of the church, who was thus cha
racterized by the learned and eccentric doctor,
in reply to one Of the gentlemen: "Sir, he is a
poor pal,ry prela.e, proud Of petty popularity,
and perpetually preaching to petticoa,s."
