COUNSEL FOR LADIEs.-Let every mar
ried woman be persuaded that there are two
ways of governing family. The first is,
by the expression of that which threatens
force. The second is, by the power of love,
to which even strength will yield. Over the
mind Of the husband, wife should never en-
ploy any other power than gentleness. When
a woman accustoms herself to sny, riH,"
she deserves to lose her empire. Avoid con-
tradicting your husband. When we smell
rose, we expect to imbibe the sweetness ofits
oder-so we look for every thing amiable in
woman. Whoever is often contradicted, feels
insensibly an aversion for the person who
contradcts, which gains strength by time.
Employ Yourself in household affairs. Wait
till your husband confdes to you those of
higher Importance, and not give your advice
till he asks it. Never take upon yourself to
be censor Of your husbands morals, to read
lectures to him. Let your preaching be good
example. Practice virtue yourself, to make
him in love with it. Command his attention,
by being always attentive to him. Never
exact any thing, and you will obtain much.
Appear always fattered by the little he does
for you, which will excite him to perform
more. Men, as well as women, are vain.
Never wound his vanity, not even in the most
trifling instance. A wife may have more sense
than her husband, but she should never seem
to know il. When man gives wrong coun-
sci, never make him feel that he has done so,
but lead him on by degrees to what is rational,
with mildness and gentleness. When he is
convinced, leave him all the merit OF having
found out what is reasonable and just when
a husband is out Of temper, behave obliglngly
TO him. If he is abusive, never retort, and
never prevail on him to humble himself but
enter thy closet, and pour out thy complaints
in prayer TO God in his behalf. The prayers
Of the righteous avail much. Choose careful
ly your female friends. Have but few, ant
be backward to follow advice--particularly I
inimical to the foregoing instructions. Cher

The DESTROYER 1t is no long
time respected reader, since we communed
together. Yet how many matters have hap
pened since that period, which should give us
pause and solemn meditation! We are still
extant; the beams of our spirit still shine from
our eyes yet there are many, who, since last
my sentences came to yours, have dropped
their lids forever upon things Of this Garth
Numberless ties have been severed; number
less hearts rest from their pantings-and sleep
-. no more 10 fold the robe DER sacred pain
All the deccits--the masks of life--are ended
with them. Policy no more bids them to
kindIe the eye with deceitful lustrc; no mere
prompts to sembiance, which feeling condemns!
They are gone 'ashes to ashes, dust to dust :
and when / think of the numbers, who thus
pass away, am panied within me for know
from them, that our life is not only as dream
which passeth away, but that the garniture, or
the carnival Of it, is indeed yapor- sun-gilt
for a moment, then colored with the dun hues
Of death--or stretching its dim folds alar, un.
til their remotest outlines catch the imperisha-
BILE eternity. Such is life; made up of sue
cesful or successless accidents its movers
and actors, from the cradle to the three-score-
and-ten, pushed about by Fate; not their own !;
aspiring but mpotent-impelled as by visions!
and rupt in drcam--which who can dispel.

When this fair world rolled from thy plastic hand
But not thy power alone

Which gently waves the trees, .
And cools my fever'd, care-distempered brow

Must return again,
And quit the lovely scene which cheers me now

To PARENTs.-The right education of your
children is dearer to you than any earthly OBJ
Ject: for good educationis young mans best
capital. To educate your children we'll is
to give them fair start in the world--it is to
and honors Of manbbSSoodSn ra for The privileges
But, to keep them from school the most of
the time--to furnish them with a miserable,
useless tcacher--to deny them the necessary
and the most approved school books--to be
unwilling to spend little to procure papers
and books for general information and reading
to do these things, or either one of these, is
to do your children an ncalculable injury.
You wish your children to be companions
Of the ,irtuous and the intelligent-then make
them virtuous and intelligent; unless you do
this, your children will be unfit for such socie-
ty as You wish them to keep. You wish your
offspring respected and nhuential-moraty
and intellect are always respected, and these
qualities are always influential, too. You do
not wish others to trample upon the rights of
your children-you do not wish others to lead
them, to think for them, orto make them mere
tools for ambitious ends. Then give them an
education-a mind, that they may know and
keep their rights-that they may think for
themselves, and have the privileges Of FREE
MEN. Ignorance is always the vassal, the slave
of intelligence. The educated man always has
had, and always will have, the advantage Of
ignorance; and if you let your children grow
up uneducated, you let them grow up to be
the tools and the slaves Of others. You can
not do your children greater injury than TO
let them step into manhood uneducated and
in no other way can you do these free institu-
tons greater evil.
You ought to put into your children's hands
every thing that assists or encourages them in
their studies. Do not hesitate at the expense.
If you can strengthen one moral feeling, or
one intellectual faculty in your child, you are
well paid Tor almost any expense. Wealth
will not make your offspring great or happy
happiness and greatness consists in virtue and
knowledge. Let the education of your chill
dren, then, be your first care.-Common
