O0cnetOrS, they too must join the hue and cry to deface and defame the most beautiful part of creatiou. Conscious that they are running contrary to all laws, human and divine, they come forth with hard words in ptaee ot arguments; they are not able, say they, to support wife; why it costs many ot you more money tn six months to pay for the sOda-water you drink and the cigars you smoke and give away, 1.-two ar- tlcies that you can well dispense wigh, and articles too that our fathers never saw,) than 1t would take to support sensible woman for twelve month. He that hangs creation on his arm, and feeds her at his board-he that hears the young ravens when they cry, will never suffer the young yankees to starve. When you have got money enough to buy furniture, you will then go to housekeeping and marry. Here the fowls of the air will teach yod ;, in the spring he looks out for his mate {; he has not got stick or straw towards house. keeping; togesher they gather the sticks and the straws in few days dwelling is prepared for the young. But the bach. elors in every thing put the cart before the horse; always wrong end foremost with them: They say as soon as they get a nest, they will then look out for bird d- thus running quite cross grained in the face of nature.

My wife earned thirty cone. and half cents per day with her needle; I earned seventy-ive cents per day with my hammer yet never to this day was with- out loaf of bread and shilling.

Had my life To begin anew, and in the same cir cun'stances, l would do just as did then; at the age of twenty-two would rather lodge by the bush with the woman of my choice, than to strut over Turkey carpet, gape on the sofa, yawn by the piano, and dream over the sideboar1, in all the dark, gloomy, and horrible forebodings ofa bach- elor of forty; for they know the time is past; twenty-five years is never to be re- called.'
 Indion Gratitude and Wit.-Soon after Litchfeld began to be settled by the Eng fish, an unknown Indian came into the inn at dusk. and requested the hostess to fur- nish him with food and drink, stating that he had no success in hunting, and could not pay until he had better fortune. The wo'
 man refused; calling him q lazy, drunken good-for-nothing fellow. A man who sa
