rs Why should we alone be insssiny!
There meyer was time in Bris tol
County. when the frosts Of autumn,
brought more single persons, Of both
sexes, to sense of their lonely situa-
tion, than the present. Nothing is talk
ed ofmt weddings. and nothing dream
ed ofbat the cake. Matrimony is al
I" the 20 = il we enter house Of pub
lick worship, We are greeted with the
|" last time Of asking" of some happy
pair, who-haye taken warning from the
approach of another cold winter, and
determined 10 assumeAhe pleasantyoke
while yet they may. 1t seems as #
their eyes had become suddenly open
ed to the Elysian prospects, and they
we're anxious 10 atone for their owa ne
glect or that Of their friends.
We are inclined 10 think that the le-
males deserve a full share Of praise,
for this Improvement in society. They
deserve the best wishes Of every citi.
zen in the community. But they should
not suppose they have attained the sum.
nsit ofhaman happiness. in merely OBJ
tanning the affections Of man they
! must strive to retain them. In the mat.
rimonial character, gentle lady, no Ion.
ger let your tn ughts wan der to scenes
Of pleasure or dissipation. Let home
be now the sole scene Of your wishes,
your thoughts, your plans. your exer
tions. Let it be the stage on which, in
the varied character Of wife. of moth
er, ofmistress, you strive to act and
shine with spIendour. In its sober,
quict scenes. let your heart cast its an
chor, let your feelings and pursuits all
be centered. And beyond the spread
ing trees that shadow and shelter your
dwelling, gentle lady. let not your fam
cy wander. Leave to your husband to
distinguish himself by enterprise OF
talents. Do you seek for fame at home
and let the applause Of your God, your
children, and your servants, weave for
your brow never fading chaplet. II
will live in the memory Of grateful
posterity, when the deeds Of illustri
Gus heroes are forgotten.
The means Of mar,yixg, we all know
are as near at hand iu Warren as any
other town in the union and we crave
the privilege Of reminding Our readers
that the requisites iol housekeeping, can

plieiiy or as much elegance, as at any
other place. We s,tudc to the furni.
