MAXIals FOR MARRIED r,D,Fs

The following maxims if pursued will moi only
make the meE in love with marriage but cause then,
10 be good husbaEds-The first is, to be good your-
self To avoid all thoughts of managing a husband.
Never try toGccelYe or impose his understanding.
nor give him Uncasinezs; but treat him with affect
ion, sincerity aud respect. Remember that hus-
bands, at best, only men, bect like yourselves
to error and frailty. BE too sanguine then be-
fore marriage, promise yourselves happiness with
out alloy. Should YOU discover any thing i'm his
humor or behavior not altogether what You expec-
ted or Wish pass it over, smooth your own temper
and try to mend his by attention. cheerlulness and
rood nature. Never reproach him with misfortunes.
which are the accidents and intirmities of life-a
burden which each has engaged to assist the other
in supporting, and 10 which both parties are equally
eXposed-but instead of murmuring and reflections
divide the sorrows between you: make the best of
it, and it will be easier to both. 1t is the innate Of
flee of the softer soothe the troubles of the
other. Resolve every morning to be cheerful all
day, and should any thing to break your res
Olutlon, suffer 1t not to put you out of temper with
your husband.-Dispue not with him, be the occa-
casion what it may, but much deny your
sefthe trle of having your own will, gaining the
better of argument, than risk quarrel or create
hearburnng, which it is impossible to forsee the
end of. Implicit submission i'll man to his wife,
is dis9raceful to both but implicit submission
in the wife, is what she promised at the altar, what
the good will revere her for, and what is, in fact,
the greatest honor she can receive. BE assured
woman's power, as well as her happiness, has no
other foundation than in her husbands esteem and
love, which it is her interest, by all possible means,
to preserve and increase. Study therefore, his tenn
per, and command your own. Enjoy with him sat-
isaction share and soothe his cares, and with the
utmost assduity conceal his infirmities.

DUTY TO PARENTS.

There is no duty dcvolvng upon human beings
which is more grateful 20. the benevolent mind
or which is so strictly cnioncd by usuages of So
ciety, as that reverence aud respect which is due
to the patcrnalc character Ii is duty the observance
ofwhch so natural, that he who is wanting in
pancc with It's prcccps, can scarce be alloWeda place
among rejecting beings; and is lost to those kinder
sympdthcs which bind the different portions of So
cictv together in their social relations in such ndS-
soluble ties, that to rend them asundor To dissolve
the dearest and most valued connexions. And, what
obligation is more sacrcd-what injunction more
binding, than that divine command" Honour thy
father and thy MOTHER and to love, cherish and
protect them and suffer not grief care to cloud
the evening of their days in sorrow; fthe constant
exercise of tilial duty avert It. We should not
forget their patient and ccaseless ocitude through
days of youthful irregularity and folly or that
love and unchanging affection which ingratitude
cannot eradicae-which time or distance cannot
remove: and which still the same, through all the
changes and vicss,udes of life. They have con-
trhuted more to our happiness, than all the world
beside vet are ever prepared for new sacrifices IN
our behalf and viii stop at nothing that ) dark or
discouragng, fthey can but aid IN promoting our
interest or our happiness.
And when oyeriakcn by physical ills how sooth-
ing is their devoted solictude and care How sweet
Is that slumber when mother keeps watchiul Wig
lis over the brief moments of broken slumber. Our
very dreams partakc OF the enjoyment, and we al-
most wish that our affections were Of longer dura-
ton that we might longer feel ourselves well be-
loved When the hours of childhood have passed
away, and we go out into the unhcedng hrong, to
act our part in the rough and vari gated scenes of.
lifc-thcn do we remember with fond attachment,
those rcyercd rccollcctons ofour earlier moments.
We love to think OF them, and delight to dwell IN
their memory. We look around us, to fnd friends
aud brethren, to supply tire place ofthosc VIC have
left and when we find. or think We have found them
we unbosom ourselves to them aud give them our
whole confidence But oftcn meet with cold
ucss and ,rcachcry, instead of expected kindness.

While doctor Franklin in France, during the
revolutionary war, as Minister from America, he
had numerous proposals made to him by the pro-
cctors Of every country and every kind, who wished
to 90 90 the land supposed TO flow with mith milk
and honey-Amerca and among the rest, there
was one who offered himself to be a King He
introduced his proposals to the doctor by letter,
which is now in the lands of NJ. Beaumarches of
Paris, stating first, that the Americans had dis
missed sent away rencoye) their King, they would
rant 0a0fher; 2dly, that he himself was Norman;
3dly, that he of more ancient family than the
Duke of Normandy, and of more honorable de-
scent, his line had never heen bastardized 4hy
that there was already precedent in England, of
Kings coming out of Normandy and filthy, that
he would rule on cery tow terms, cheap any
b0dy. On these grounds he rested his offer, enioin-
inc that the doctor would forward it to America
But the Doctor did not do this, yet send him
an answer, the protector wrote a second letter, in
which he did not it is true, threaten 90 and
conquer America; but only, with great dignity, pro-

WOMAN'S CONSTANCY.

Josephine, a young woman of Fontainbeau,
supported herselfby the humble occupation of wash
ing but from her beauty and good conduct, excited
general admiration, and was sought in marriage by
many of her fellow toWnsmen. She, however, gave
the preference to a young non-commissioued officer
Of regiment of Lancers who having received edu
cation beyond that sphere of life, discharged
and placed a clerk in a banking house at Paris.
Josephine followed him to the capital but persevered
in maintaining her independence by continuing her
former occupation, and having gained abundance of
customers, and preserving, she believed, the af-
fccsions of her lover, lived in peace and contentment
A few days ago, however, all her dreams of hap
pness vanished. The Lancer, overcome by the
taunts of his metropolitan associates, sent her a
message announcing that his change of situation
forced him to give up all further intercourse with
her. To his cruel communication she replied by
most affecting letter her faithless swain, in whose
honor eho had implicitly conided, that she sacri-
feed her own and had become mother An an
swcr sent bringing the fatal certainty that she
was abandoned for ever. Despair ensued, and last
week brought her to the horrible resolution of suf-
locating herself with charcoal. She was found dead
on her bed, with her hand upon her heart pressing
to it lock Of hair other childs, and another of its
father.-PariS paper

Has had its cloud, and prospect mild,
Its moonlight bright, and tempest Wild
But now. its shadow near withdrawn,
Thy brightest day begins to dawn
Behold thy ships, with merry crew,
Furrow again old oceans blue
Again with bolder helm they steer,
Making one summer of the year
By change of clime-or swiftly borne
Beyond tho sign of Capricorn,
And round the Cape, yclept the Horn,
Have in three moons, all seasons seen,
From summer TO the verna! green.
Then sec thy barlls, with well braced sail,
Wooing the broad Pacifc's gale;
Whilst in light skf, their during crew,
Over the mountain waves pursue,
With bending oar and rapid sweep,
The mighty giant Of the deep;
Till in his back, secure and soon,
Trembles infixed the hurl'd harpoon;
And shooting through the foaming brine,
And following the ength'ning line,
Flies the far skiff. Thus dost thou roam,
Whilst CHEEKY goes thy tolls at home
Thy loom resounds-thy spindle flies
With Grecan front thy temples rise
Thy cottages and gardens spread
Thy proud pavilions rear their head
Or Phnnix like from ruins old
New structures still new fronts unfold,
And ancient fabrics, garnish'd fine,
Forget old age and gaily shine;
And fashion too-for health or ease,
Again inhales thine ocean breeze,
And Thames's street more gally shows
Its Haunting bellies and dandy bcaus.
And why not thus Secure from harm
Around thy breast nations arm
Begins to bend l-Dost thou behold
Yon frowning fortress vast and bold 3
'Tis but the germ Of thy defence
To spurn old oceans goddess hence
My soul goes forth the day to meet
When thy defence shall be complete
When Dumpin cliffs, with frownng fort,
And fortress Adams shade thy port,
(Lilte the twain brothers that of old
Spurn'd Hector from the Grccan hold.)
And Roses Isle, well fortified,
Looks down along the shudd ring tide
And all the western branch belize,
Securely lies behind its dixie
Then shall the Unions navy too
Make thy fair wave its rendezvous,
And breathing life through all thy shore,
Tenfod thine ancient fame restore.
No rivals then shall on thee frown,
Or mighty city keep thee down;
For thou shalt be connected'lar,
BY IRON road and rapid car,
With distant towns and cities proud,
Thyselfa portion of their crowd
For then will Allcghany's brow
BE but as next door ncighbor now,
And all our Union, far and wide,
BE one vast country citYfed.
But whilst dwell upon the past,
And forward look to hopes so vast,
| nigh forget my message here
To bid you all happy year
a happy year tn matron fair,
Checks long unturrowcd by a care,
Eyes that forever beam with smiles,
Light task that weary hour beguilcs
And to the partner of her Joys,
An active mind and fit employs;
And, to the maid, of heart contest
The hand of him she loves the best;
And, to the youth, of soul sincere,
The lass he loves within the year
TO boys and misses blithe and gay,
Meet interchange oftas< and play,
And books that prompt the wish to learn,
And pcdagOgues not over STERN
To all and each, the just desire,
plcnteous store and cheerful fire,
And purse well filed with honest gains
To pay the carrier for his pains.
