 Amongst us mortal men. Then shalt thou find but one refuge
 Which comfort can retain A guiltless conscience pure and clear From touch of sinful stain.

LaagcYs vs Judge2.-A gentleman who had resided in India as a judge of one of the English courts there, was present when it was observed, that in some of the United States there was so much moro talent at the bar than on the bench. and the lawyers often suc- ceeded in puzzling the court. "Sir, re- piled he, that must be the fault of the court, itself in not preserving a proper discipline-when first sat in India, found the native lawyers very cunning fellows, and that had no chance with them; they puzzled mo twoorthree time Ia day. This was no trifie 10 a bilious temperamentin a hot climate. Atlength l hit upon a plan for preventing it, Whenever found one of these lawyers attempting to puzzle the court, ! imme- diately ordered him down and had him bastinaded on the soles of his feet. In less than week they were all thorough ly cured. and l decided my cases very comfortably during my whole judicial residence iii India, besides avoiding the liver complaint and cholera morbus."

.Mar5qge.-Look at the great mass Of marriages which take place over the whole world; what poor, contemptible common place affairs they are! A few soft looks walk a dance a squeeze of tlle hand a popping of the question; d purchasing of certain number of yards of white satin; ring; clergy man; a staye or two in q hired carriage; i; a night in a country inn; and the whole matter is over. For five or six weeks two sheepish looking persons are seen dangling about each others arm, look ing at waterfalls, or making morning calls, and guzzling wine and cake, thea every thing falls into the most monoton- #ous routine-the wife sits on one side of the hearth, the husband at the other, and little quarreIs, little pleasure, little cares, and little children, gradually ga- ther round them. This is what ninety nine out of a hundred find to be the de- lights of love and ndmatrimony.

Revenue Cutter Vigilant, Capt. Ca
hoone, when she was stationed here,
besides doing duty in the department
Of the revenue, was frequently able to
render assistance to vessels in distress

She was replaced by n small cutter
from New Haven, wholly unsuitable
for this station. This last vcsselis now
withdrawn, and is TO be replaced by
another when the ice will allow her to
pass through Long Island sound. The
new cutter, we are informed, is better
suited for the Sound than for this sta
ton where the cruising ground is on
the Atlantic coast, and where she must
often buffet the violence Of wind and
sea, or neglect the duty she is destined
for, and to seek safety in port. Con-
sidering these circumstances; wewould
suggest to the HBB~tlse Secretary of
the Treasury whether it would not
greatly subservc the public interest to
have cutter Of much larger cless
stationed here, with officers long expe-
rienced, and well acquainted with the
coast and harbor, and that she should
be well provided with men, provisions,
fuel, cables, anchors, &c. in order that

The second reading of this bill, which
varoyides that so much of the act as
was Intended to. take effect on the 3Ist
of December next, shall be repealed,
was objected to, and some discussion
ensued, which was cut short by the
expiration of the hour. The bill for
the relief of James Monroe was order
ed to be cagrossed and read third
time this day; but owing to the oc-
cupation of the floor by Mr.. Burgess, to
the moment of adjournment, and the
motion to strike out from the appro-
priation bill, the appropriation for Mr.
Randolph, the bill was not read. 1t
will of course come up with the MORN

the appropriation bill was attempted to
be arrested BY motion of Mr.. Polk,
