ed Of him whether the Lords Supper was
to be administered by him the next day.
The Rev. gentleman said, eyes sir. y

the gall OF bitterness, and domestic broil
at home.
Wretched is that man whose heart throbs
with benevolence for all, whose bosom
pants to give and receive felicity in the
circle ofhis duties, who has no congenial
mind, no tender friend, no affectionate
partner-at home.
In fine, as the prime blessings Of life,
or the most of aggravated ills, arise from
domestic intercourse and relations, OF
how great Importance is it to enter into
such assoc iations, and to form such con-
nexions, as are capable of endearing pri-
vate enjoyment, of calling forth all the
finer sensations Of the soul, and Of blunt
ing the edge Of the most oppressive woes
at home.
Happiness depends neither on fortune
nor on fame, il is neither attached to the
palace, nor despises the cottage; neither
delights in inery, nor spurns at patches
but is alone to be found or missed, or to
be enjoyed or lamented, in the retire
ments, whether splendid or mean, of do
nestle life and HOME.

HINTS FOR LOVERS.

Ifa youth is wooingly disposed towards
any damscl, as he values his happiness,
let him follow my advice; call on the la
dy when she least expects him, and take
note of the appearance of all that is un-
der her control. Observe if the shoe fits
neatly-if the gloves are clean, and the
hair well polished. And | would forgive
a man for breaking off an engagement, if
he discovered greasy novel hid away
under the sofa, or hole in the garniture
Of the prettiest foot in the world. SLOW
enliness will ever be avoided by well
regulated mind, as # it were pestiIencc.
A woman cannot always be what is cal
led dressed, particularly one in middling
or humble life, where her duty, and it is
consequently to be hoped, her pleasure
lies in experimenting and assisting in all
domestic matters; but she may be always
neat-well appointed. And as certainly
as a virtuous woman is a crown Of glory
to her husband, so surely is a slovenly
one crown Of thorns-.urs. S. c. Hall.

FEAR OF THE MORAL INFLUENCE OF FE-

the squeamishness that would keep wo-
men in ignorance Of the wretchedness to
which many Of their sex are subjected,

may they not be apprised Of the dangers
that surround them? And why should

MIS- Ell L. N T. us.

HERoIsM OF FILIAL LAFrECTIoN.-lnt the
course of the last winter, five Dutch gen.
teman set out from Rotterdam to travel
on skates to Amsterdam. They had pas
sed over about twelve miles Of the waste
Of inland waters, which extends between
the two cities, and were with the excep-
tion of one of the party who kept apart,
skating with great velocity, in close files,
and hands linked in the Dutch manner,
and were striking out far from the shore,
when, at once, the whole file was precip-
itated through the ice, and two out ofthe
four were hardly seen to rise again. The
other two were father and sen, both re-
markably fine men, and the father IN ex-
pert swimmer, which enabled him to sup
port himself and his son too for consid-
cradle time, during which he was so col
lected as to give directions to the only
one Of the party, who had not fallen in,
how he should conduct himself to afford
assistance; but at length he gave ute
rance to the thought that his sons con-
tnuing to hold him would be the death Of
both. The son Immediately kissed his
father, and, with the familiar and endear-
ing expression he was accustomed to-
bade him "good night" loosed his hold
and deliberately resigned himselftO death
The father lives, and the name, at least
of Henry Hook, the son, must live also

THE IMMORTAL WASHINGTON,

Some twenty years since being in COM
pany with native citizen of New-Jer-
sey, venerable old gentleman, then 10
years of age, and for aught your cores
pondent knows, is still living-he said he
was personally acquainted with the fa-
ther of our country, General Washing
ton; and, in the course Of our conversa-
tion, related the following occurrence,
which the venerable old gentleman said
he was knowing TO have actually occur
red in New-York, during the revolution

covered by "A farmer deliberately walking
in pleasant grove, within quarter of a
mile of the army, apparently in deep re-
lection-when the farmer suddenly ap-
preached him, and accosted him with the
usual compliments. The General after
returning the compliment, took the far
mer by the hand, led him to the verge Of
the grove, then pointing 10 spire Of a.

THE DEPARTED.
Saturday Bulletin.

l The unusual number of sudden deaths
during the late autumn and past winter
has put far from us many ofour most gift
ed and beautiful. The blast of winter
has been death to them. They heard
its hollow roar-and shuddered-and di-
ed. Never again shall they open their
eyes OH an earthly spring. When we
rove along the blooming fields, or 60 in
to the flower garden, after the sun has
gone down, to inhale its evening fra
graEce, some, who once walked with us
there, shall not be seen at our side. The
atmosphere in which they once stood
shall not be lightened with their beauty,
it shall be voiceless. They shall be
resting beneath the clods ofthe valley
or perhaps on the summer clouds of hesv-
cnly glory--while we, in our lonely
walks, shall have no communion with
them, but by the chain of memory which
reaches backward to what they were, or
the aspirings of faith reaching upwards
to what they NAV be now,
1t is good to think of the dead. They
only are the wise; they have tasted the
bitterness of death-and they too have
inhaled the breath Of another existence.
knowledge higher than mortal life can
attain, is thcirs-and, perhaps, love too,
tha. might ovcrbalance the accumulated
oceans of human affection. They are,
at will, higher than the topmost or outer
most star; they may stand where the
First Great Cause swept the compass of
creation and compounded its wonderful
energies. The dead only know what
II life is-what time is-and what eternity
shall be.
We may say farewell to the departed,
but we should never forget them. For
get the living rather than the dead
They are the nobility Of better world.
They may be spirits Of light and power
10 sweep their unseen circles oil proteC-
ton around our path. They may be
those whose gentle arms shall sustain our
souls when they are struggling in more
than infinite weakness, into another mode
of being. Forget not the last looks-the
adieus-the virtues of the dead; and let
all their fraities rest unremembercd.
Let not your thoughts wander from
them, while we listen to the warning
voice Of heaven that speaks in their exit
The Messenger of Death shall ere long
pronounce our names-and we, too, go
the way of all the earth.--Badgers'

How many sensibilities and tender emo
tions are excited-how many poignant
reflections may be conveyed by single
word!-One idea may call up thousand
to delight or organize; and the most ex-
pressive and energetic that language af-
fOrds, either to soothe or to torment, is the
syllable-HoME!
He who is best in his domestic rela-
tions, amidst the distractions Of business,
and the insults or the ingratitude of self
ish world, consoles himself with the re-
Election that he will meet with recon-
pense for all his tolls and disappointments
at home.
He who is engaged in distant occupa-
tons, in the pursuit Of gain, or in the in
vestigation Of science, pleases himself
with the idea that hswil find some dear
deserving connexions to participate his
good fortune or to whom he may impart
his knowledge-af home.
While the cup of innocent pleasure in
vites, the taste; while the charms Of So
ciety enliven the hour, the moments Of re-
fexion are most delightfully."- filled up in
every feeling heart, by the still gre eater
endearments which await it-at home.
When the storms of life or of the ele-
ments overtake us as we are journeying
on; though the first may penetrate to the
heart, and the last chill the vital frame
they cannot wholly overcome him who is
able to reflect that ne has some one to
feel for him, or to take care Of him-at
home.
All the various pursuits in which every
human being, who has any rational aim,
is engaged, tend to single point; and
that is, to be happy and beloved-at home.
How wretched then, must he be, who,
under the pressure of calamity, the ty-
ranny Of wrong, and the sufierings Of in
trinity, has no kind consoler-at home.
How can he struggle with fortune and
not despond, who knows that all his toll,
and all his care, and all his solicitude,
find no grateful recompense at home.
Wretched is that man, though he may
be the object ofenvy or applause; though
the public may hail his name with de-
served honor, and call him blest, who
feels the vacuity ofreciprocal tende erne IS
in-his home.
Wretched is that man who cannot en-
joy the friends he loves, nor the society
in which he delights, nor even his own
natural and rational pleasures-at home.
Wretcbed is that man who, cxpending
health and renouncing pleasure for the
sake Of his domestic ties, meets only with

INTERESTING ANEcDoTE.-In the de-

Mr.. Howard of Maryland related the

that when he was opposite Mount Yer.

When he was told that the ship was pas
