RULES FOR HUSBANDS.

1. Always regard your wife as your equal
treat her with kindness, respect and attention
and never address her with the appearance o
an air OF authority, as if she were, as some
misguided husbands appear to regard THEN
wives, a mere housekeeper.
9. Never interfere in her domestic con
Germs, hiring servants, &c. except she CON
suit you.
3. Always keep her properly supplied with
money for furnishing your table in style
Iproportioned to your means, and for the
purchase of dress, and whatever other ar
ticles she may require, suitable to her sta
ton in life.
f. Cheerlully and promptly comply with all
her reasonable requests; and, as far as practi-
cable, anticipate them. Whatever you accord
to her wishes, let it be done promptly and
Icheerfully, so as to enhance the merit OF the
matter by the manner.
5. Never be so unjust as to lose your temper
towards her, in consequence of indifferent cook
cry, or irregularity in the hour Of meals; or
any other acknowledgement OF her domeslcs
knowing the difficulty making many oithcm
do their duty.
| 6. If she have prudence and good sense, con-
suit her on all operations involving the risk OF
serious injury in case Of failure. Many a
man has been rescued from ruin by the wise
counsels of his wife; and many foolish hus,
band has most seriously injured himself and
family by the rejection Of the advice of his
wife, stu idly fearing, if he followed it,
he would be regarded as hen-pecked. A
husband can never consult d counsellor
more deeply interested in his welfare than
his wife.
T. Ifdstressed or embarrassed in your Gil
Icumstances, communicate your situation 10 her
with candor, that she may bear your difficult
ties in mind in her expenditures. Wives,
sometimes, believing their husbands clrcum-
stances better than they really are, disburse
money which cannot be well afforded, and
which, if they knew the real situation OF their
husbands affairs, they would shrink from eX-
pending,
8. Never on any account chide or rebuke
your wife in company, should she make any
mistake in history, geography, grammer, or in
deed any other subject There are, am per.
suaded many wives Of such keen feelings and
high spirit, land such wives deserve to be trea-
ted with tho utmost deicacy,) that they would
rather receive a severe and bitter scoldng in
private, than comparatively mild rebuke in
company, calculatedto display their ignorance
or folly, or to impair them in their own opln-
ion or in that of others.

LITERATURE OF THE BIBLE.

The Bible is q book Of literature; Of the mos
remarkable literature with which the worIc
was ever acquainted. speak Of it now, not
as a body ofinspired compositions, but as body
Of human writings, conveying. indeed inspired
truths; but still in human language, addressed
to the human understanding, All subject to the
laws Of human taste. Viewlngtt in this light,
then, say it is book Of the most remarkable
literature ever given to the world. Its historic
compositions are inimItabe specimens oftrans-
lucent brevity. Its biographies are almost liv-
ing men. Its narratives aud descriptions of de-
tached facts and scenes are surprising models
of simple and striking power. Its poetry is fail
~ 1ountains of the most unparalleled beauty
and subIinity, from which the greatest have
been content to draw, in replenlshing or emil
venng their own streams. lis elogueHee is like
one of the perfectly manly ,apa graceful forms
of ancient culpture, at the teetoi which have
set thousand docie imiaterS and copyists.-
It's style is as varied and wild, as smooth or as
rough, as pure or as strong, as unpretendlng or
as sublime, as the ever diversified face ofGlI
glorious nature herself. Its Pattos Is the pu-
rest, truest, deepest feeling OF the soul, pour
ing itself, living and eXhaustless, INTO the hearts
of numberess, successive generations. And
its devotional strains taught or shall teach the
world to worship. They are MORNINGS Of
penitence, learned in the secret chambers OF
the soul; or rcrestiiHgs QtJdhH, prompted by IN.
sight into the premises Of God; or harpings Of
praise, caught from listening at the gate Of
Heaven. Every age to which it has been
known has paid the literature of the Bible this
homage, and without concert, has yet conspi.
red 10 place it, in this respect, too, aIofie--a
book without an equal and without like
ness stones address.

THE WORTH OF A FRIEND.

How few there are who deserve the name!-
Are all who bear the name friends? No Yet,
where fortune smlAs, there are thousands who
profess the purest friendship, and are ever rea-
dy to offer assistance when il is not needed
But let the scale turn, let misfortune fr0tcn-
let pale-faced poverty once get you in her with
erng grasp, then appeal to them for their al,
would they then be so willing TO befrend Hno
indeed! even though you imp'ored it with Il ars
Iof blood, would they then shake hands at every
corner they met you? and drag you whether
you would or not, to dine or take a friendly
glass with them? No, but would shun you as
they would panther, or would pass you by
Iunnoticed, and If they deigned toflook upon you,
III would be with the curled lip of scorn. Such
is the fegned friendship of men to their fellow
men
Some there are so obdurate of heart as to be-
hold mmoved, helpless weeping female, per-
haps widowed mother with an innocent babe
Iclinging upon her breast, cast out upon the cold
Iunieeling and unchartabIe world without a
morsel of bread to appease the bitter cravings
Iof rapacious hunger, or the means wherewlth
Ito get it.; with no humble shed to shield her
from the scorching rays Of the burning sun, or
the piercing winds and pelting rains Of cold
frosty winter no bed butt cold earth on which
to re pose her feeble frame. Some may say
Judge too harshIy, that men cannot be so lost
TO every feeling Of humanity; yet there are
those whose hearts are so f1inty, so icy cold
But whilst thus the throe of sorrow is wrank
ling in her bosom, is there one who will seF
forward and lend friendly hand TO remove II
and endeavor to heal the wound! IS there one
when the iron yoke of the tyrant adversely OPP
presses and bows down, who will come forward
to our relief? Is there one to whom we can
freely confde all our griefs and troubles, and
who will share with us the bitter cup? Is there
one who will stand by US in sickness and in the
fearful hour Of death? Ifthcre be such an one
and some such there surely are, him would
call friend, "worth all the hazards We coulr
rum who would not freely barter the work
for such an one2 for ''poofis the Iriendless mas

THE CANVASS.

Mr.. DAVIS and Mr.. THOMPSON are busy in
securing the Chickasaw counties. They ira
vel together, cheek 6y j0,ot, as all good natured
politicians ought to, and declare their senti-
ments and political principles wherever they
90. From accounts received, we are inclined
to believe that Mr. Davis has his loco foco OPP
ponont son the HIP and that the impression
he makes among the people is highly favora-.
Bile to the wing cause. Mr.. Davis is capable
of this, for he is an honest man, and whatever
he says or does, is in the sincerity Of his heart.
Gen. Brown the other loco foco candidate, is
addressing the people and declaring his senti-
ments in the South and West-at all events
from that quarter we last heard Of him. COL
BINGAMAN and Chancellor TURNER have not
yet entered the field, so far as our knowledge
extends but we hope soon to hear from them,
The two latter gentlemen are expected, by
their friends in Lowndos county, to make a
visit TO this section Of the State, on their inten-
ded excursion to the northern counties. The
loco foco party appear to be splitting and quar-
reling among themselves, and the breach be-,
tween the two factions is so great that there is.
but lttle prospect oftheir again uniting. This
fact is another favorable symptom Of the COM,
plete triumph of the Wings, If our, party can
remain united, and we can see no reason why
it should not. The following extract Of o lot.

DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE.

In CONGRESS, July a, 1776.
THE UNANIMOUS DECLARATION OF THE THIRTEEN
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
When, in the course Of human events, 1t be-
comes necessary for one people to dissolve the
political bands which have connected them
with another and to assume among the powers
of the earth, the separate and equal station to
which the laws Of nature and natures God en-
title them, decent respect 10 the opinions OF
mankind requires, that they should declare the
causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be selEeydent:--
that all men are created equal that they are
endowed by their Creator with certain unaien-
able rights; that among those are life, liberty,
and the pursuit Of happiness. That to secure
these rights, governments are Instituted among
men, deriving their just powers from the con-
sent of the governed; that whenever any form
Of government becomes destructive of these
ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to
abolish it, and to institute a new government,
laying its foundation on such principles, and or
ganzing its powers in such form as to them
shall seem most likely to effect their safety and
happiness Prudence, indeed, will dictate, that
governments long established should not be chan
ged for light and transient causes; and accor-
dinghy all experience hath shown, that man
kind are more disposed to suffer, while evils
are suAerable, than to right themselves, by
abolishing the forms to which they are accus-
toned. But when long train Of abuses and
usurpattons, pursuing invariably the same OBJ
ject, evinces design to reduce them under abb
soute despotsm, it is their right, it is their du-
ty, TO throw Off such government, and to pro-
vide new guards for their future security
such has been the patient sufleranco of these
colonies, and such is now the necessity which
constralns them to alter their former systems OF
government. The history of tho present king
OF Great Britain is history Of repeated inju-
RES and usurpatlons, all having in direct object
the establishment Of an absolute tyranny over
these States. To prove this, let facts be sub
mitted to candid world.
He has refused his assent to laws the most
wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his governors to pass laws

When Freedom from her mountain height,
Unfurled her standard to the air,
She tore the azure robe ofnight,
And set the stars Of glory there!
She mingled with its gorgeous dies,
The milky baldric of the skies,
And striped its pure celestial white,
With streakings from the morning light!
Then, from her mansion in the sun,
She called her eagle bearer down,
And gave into his mighty hand
The symbol ola chosen land!
