THANKSGIVING.

Governor PETERS of Connecticut, thus
introduces his late Thanksgiving Procla-
nation:
"The volume of Nature is spread out be-
fore The whole human family in whatever
cline Man draws the first breath of life, he
opens his eyes upon some page of that His
tory, written by Gods own fingers; here is
found no error-no mistake can occur the
existence of great First Cause, is legibly
impressed on all around him in the organ
ization and economy of all creation, from
the bum5lest parasitic plant that subsists by
secondary influence, TO the proud mon
arch OF the forest, that bids defiance to the
bowling tempest; from the feeblest insect
that tenants the bosom OF the earth, to the
Levathan that sports in the mighty waters
of the deep, there is evidence of design.
of system,-of perfection, in the Author and
Finlsher Of this stupendous world. Uncul-
livated reason acknowledges the obligation
due from the creature to the Creator I'M
taught devotion insl,nctly brings lis offer
ings to the altar of Nature. and pays its
alterations to that Being, who is seen in the
Clouds and recognized in the storm.
"A favored portion of this family have
superalded the volume of Revelation
wherein it is declared, that He is, ant

sion of Mr.. Holden, persuaded her to name
a day for the nnptials. The ceremony was
I performed, and never did pair, who loved
each other more ardenly, vow eternal con
slancy at the altar Of God The result OF
such an union ought to have been iInme-
dlaie happiness. But the tables were now
naturally turned. Selwyn felt that he was
her husband and her lord The awe of
distance no longer elevated her into the
spheres: matrimony brought familiar intel

known on both sides; they ought to have
been known before. Amiable, estimahle us
he knew her TO be, he still loved her with
impassioned erdor, but he, as matter of
course, found, that he had too long viewed
her rather through the veil of fancy than
with the eye of truth, and he saw that she
was not an angel hut woman.
Priscilla, on the other hand, could not at
once give up the rule to which she had so
long been accustomed. But TO these SOL
emn grandeurs, which had appeared so i'm
posing during the period of courlship, Sell
wynn could, as husband, in no wise submit
They now took their right appearance, and
got their proper appelaton of airs and ca
prices. The consequence of all this was,
many month of heart-burning, and bicker-
ing, and recTimination, which might have
been spared them, had the proper degree of
confidence existed before marriage. By
degrees, they became accustomed 10 their
relative situations. and Mrs. Selwyn ut
length found, that she was much happier in
having her husband familiar and devoted
friend, whom she could look up to, than
creature whom she could tyrannize ovel at
her caprice.
In conclusion. we would say, to men of
sense, for we write not to gallants and cox
comhs--be candid and sincere in your in
tercourse with the female of your choice.
Begin as you intend TO end. Make her not
your idol, but speak The language of truth
to her at first, or never. The ladies we
will presume to advise,-nay, we will en-
treat them to allow their lovers a respectful
and familiar communion with them. Sure
ly they cannot too thoroughly know the man
to whose guidance and will they intend to
entrust the conduct of their whole life.
Let confidence he so mutual That love may
have an opportunity of founding itself upon
the rocky basis OF esteem.-.4nonymou

DURATION OF CHOLERA. The French pa-
pers are specializing on the probable duration
Of cholera in Paris and London, and as to
whether it is likely TO take up its residence
permanently with US. If we are TO reason by
what we know Of other diseases as well as this.
we must say that it is highly probable that il
will be acclinated both in France and Great
Britain. There are a variety Of diseases now
common to Europe, which were unknown
some centuries ago, and it is rare indeed
that any epidemic can DO completely erad
Gated With respect to the cholera il should
be observed, that wherever it had appeared
once, whether III the East or in Europe it has
made lis temperatures under the form and
with the character of an epidemic In some
instances ITS visit Is annual, and its rayages are
nnvarled-in others it is more eccentric. and
uncertain as TO time hut where il has once
shown itself, there will it be again sooner or
later-its seeds like those of vegetable funri,
