live to enjoy the unaIloyed consultations which
must spring from the consciousness OF having act

principles, A contemporary under the influence
Of such feelings as we have endeavored to ex.
press, remarks, that the Piety. the benevolence
and heroism Of these ladies afford at once the
most affecting proof Of the elevated genteness OF
the female character, and the nost sublime III
stance Of the Courage and benevolence inspir-
ed by religion. In many cases, where manhood,
under all the temptations Of gain, shrunk with
terror from the chamber Of pestiien,ial disease,
the modest but unfaiterins benevol-nce of these
weak and delicate females was seen to seek the
deserted bedside OF the sick, and face all the
toll and danger without hope and yet withouta
murmur. Leaving the wealth, comfort and secu-
rty Of .heir paterna roof, they are seen amid 'he
dying and the dead, bending like guardian angels
over the coach Of the sufferers, administering the
medicines and with untiring attention wooins
back the departing spirit to its frame, SMOOTH
ing its rapid progress to the grave. Tne imagi-
nation cannot conceive scene Of greater moral
submty. Tho inhabitants of the cities which
have suffered from the pestilence will long che.
rish with gratitude and admiration, the recolec.
ton of their Kindness; and the record of their
heroic aud disinterested benevolence will re-
main perpetual memorial Of the virtues of their
sex.
Notices of marriages are sometimes dropped
into our letter box anonymously For our own
security, we have TO withhold all such. They
should always be handed in personally or accom-.
panied by name.

F,on, The Ueyt-We have been favored with
the following extract 0f letter from Believille,
ILL.,, (near St. Louis). II is without date, but
