AMERICAN GENERALs.-Washington
was surveyor and in after life farmer.
Knox was book binder and stationer.
Morgan (he ofthe Cowpens) was drov-
er. Tarlton got from him sound lec-
ture on that subject. Greeu was black
smith, and withal Quaker, albeit
through all his southern campaigns, and
particularly at the Eutaw Springs, he
put off the outward man. Arnold-U
ask pardon for naming him in such CON-
pany)-was grocer and provision store
keeper, in New Haven, where his sign
is still to be seen the snme that deco
rated his shop before the revolution.
Gates, who opened Burgoyne's eyes to
the fact that he CO aid not "march
through the United States with 5000
men,"was "regular built soldiers" but
after the revolution a farmer. Warren,
the martyr of Bunker Hill, was a phys
ician and hesitated not to exhibit to his
countrymen splendid example of the
manner in which American physicians
should practice when called upon by
their country. Marion, ''the old Fox"
of the south, was a COW boy. Sumpter,
the stfightiug cock" Of South Carolina,
was Shepherds boy. ~ Havea Her.

"a great proportion of the wretched-
ness which has often embittered married
life, am persuaded, has originated in
the negligence Of tri2es. Connubial hap
piness is thing Of too fine texture to
be handled roughly. 1t is sensitive
plant, which will not even bear the TOUCH
Of unkindness, delicate flower, which
indifference will chill and suspicion blast.
1t must be watered with the shower of
tender afsetion--expanded with the
glow of attention, and guarded by the
impregnable barrier of unspoken conf
dence. Thus nurtured, il will bloom
with fragrance in every season of life,
and sweeten even the loneliness Of dec
lining years"

GOOD ADVICE.

1t is better to tread the path Of life
cheerfully, skipping over thorns and bri-
ars that obstruct your way, than to sit
down under every hedge lamenting your
hard fate. The thread Of a cheerful
mans life spins out longer, than that Of a
man who is continually sad and despond-
ing. Prudent conduct in the concerns
OF hfe is highly necessary--but if distress
succeed, detection and despair will moi
afford relief. The best thing to be done
when evil comes upon US, is not lamen.
tation, but action not to sit and suffer
but to rise and seek the remedy.
Herald of the times. [volume] (Newport, R.I.) 1830-1846, 1833-10-17

he be solvent at the time, and the trans
fer not made with view to delraud cred
itors.
The wife Of course, cannot devise
lands, but any personal or real estate
settled upon her, in trust, she may be-
queath; or any savings from property
given to her separate use.
The husband is bound to provide his
wife with all necessaries suited to her
condition in life; and of course, becomes
liable for debts contracted by her, for
such necessarles; but not for superfluities
or ex,ravagancies- 4 he husband and
wife cannot be Witnesses against each
other, either in civil or criminal cases,
where the testimony has the least ten
dency to favor or criminale each other.
One exception TO this rule exists, where
the law respecting the personal safety
and life Of the wife, permits her TO give
Testimony for her protec ction.

APATRIARcH.-Died at Hickory Hill,
in Baltimore county, on the 22d July,
Mr. William Thompson. This venera-
bic man, on the first day of February
last, had attained the very advanced age
of one hundred and eleren gears. He
was born in St. Mary's county, (Md. y
spent the greater portion Of bis life in
Frederick county, and moved, last fan,
to Baltimore county, where he died. He
left eleven or twelve children, the eldest
of whom was living last summer, and is
believed to be still in existence, at the
advanced age of 9l-his youngest sur
viving son is 25 years ofage. The sub
ject Of this notice was distinguished for
his honesty and temperance. lie has
been heard to say, that in the course OF
his long life, he had never used agallon
Of ardent spirits, and had never been in
toxicatcd but once, and then from draw
ing cider. He never was confined to- his
house until three days previous to lis
death, and enjoyed his sight and bearing
until the last moment. He never re-
quired the use Of spectacles, and as re-
Gently as last summer, walked the dis
tancc of two miles to his sons house and
back TO his home in the same day.

MEcuANIcs.-There is strange dis
like to the name of mechanic in this
country, as well as elsewhere: it would
almost seem disgrace to be an industrI-
Gus or careful man. Each parent thinks s
his child superior in intellectual capaci-
W, and capable Of filling any station,
whatever his ability to qualify him there
fore. Hence, we every where meet with
professional men, who would doubtless
make most excellent mechanics, but, un-
fit for a profession, they remain all their
lives 10 obscurity and poverty. Why is
this-have not the world yet learned 10
Judge of men by their actions, and moi
by the business they pursue' Look

names are brightest-who have been the
benefactors Of mankind' Why do we
so often find men Of sound judgment IL

LEGAL RELATION OF HUSBAND
AND WIFE.

The effects produced by Marriage, on
the legal rights Of The parties, are i'm
portant to be known in every family:
In law husband and wife are consid-
cred as one person and on this princi-
pie, all civil duties and disabilities rest.
The wife cannot sue in her own name.
If she suffers injury or wrong in her
person or property, she can with her
husbands aid and concurrence, prose-
cute for redress; but the husband must
always be the plaintiff. In criminal ca
ses, however, the relation assumes new
form. The wife may in criminal cases,
be prosecuted and punished.
The wife can make no contract with
the husband, nor the husband with the
wife. The disability is involved in the
first principle which makes them legally
one. But they may contract, through a,
gency of trustees, the wife being unde1
the protc ction Of the husband.
All contracts made between them be-
fore marriage, are Of course dissolved or
that event.
The husband cannot convey lands OF
rent estates TO his wife directly; but he
may settle them on her through IA trustee,
ship. The wife may release her power
u his grantee. AS it respects the be-
quest, the husband can always devise
real estate to his wife.
Upon marriage, the husband becomes
possessed of all right and title to he
property, whether personal or real; ant
at the same time he becomes liable TO
all her debts, and must fulfil all her con
tracts made prior to the union.
If the wife die before the husband, ant
there be issue, his heirs succeed to he
real estate.
But in case Of no issue, the HUSBAND
remains in possession of her land durin,
his life time only; and at his demise the,
20 to the heirs Of his wife.
All debts due to the wife become afie
marriage the property Of the husband
who becomes invested with power to su
on bond, note, or any other obligatio
whatever, to his own and exclusive use
The powers Of discharge and assignee
and change Of securities, are OF cour'
involved in the leading principle.
IL he die before the recovery OF u
money, or the change OF securities, Il
wife becomes entitled to the debts in b
own right.
All personal property os the wife, sue
as money, goods, moveables, and stock
becomes absolutely the property of Il
husband upon marriage; and on his dea
goes TO his heirs.
Property may be secured TO the u
Of the wife, by deeds Of marriage setll
ments, in order to secure to the wife
comfortable competence against the
cissitudes Of life, or the extravaganci'
vices, or the cruelty Of the husband.
Property may be settled on the wi
after marriage by the husband, provid
