The Richmond Enquirer is taking pretty distinct
ground against Mr.. Rves and SO far as we can see,
the Richmond Wing about distinct ground in his
favor. This is certainly some what noticeable event
in the phases of political mutation. None could
have believed it possible two years ago. We have
on this subject one strong personal graduation. We
have never ourselves said or felt The disposition to
say disparaging word Of Mr.. Rives, nor have we
suffered lhers say word in his dIsfavor in this
paper. More than one individual can bear US wit
ness. We have always believed Mr.. Rives 10 be
high minded man oil lofty and patriotic views, and
who would never be found arrayed against the i'm
porant interests OF this country We have Of course
thought him wrong in some Of his party views, but
we have never dstrnsted the honesty and soundness
of his feelings all the great questions presented 10
the consideration of the country; and while oar
Wing contemporaries have permitted him to b.
spoken harshy OF BY their correspondents, our cor
respondents will remember that it has been condi-
ton precedent TO the publication Of their letters that
WILLIAM c. RvEs, of Virginia, was never to be
spoken OF but with respect This paper, therefore,
can come much more gracefully than most others,
into warm support OF that able and distinguished
gentleman. Very heartily do We Join his other
friends in congraua,ng the country upon the course
he has taken, and most sincerely do we hope as we
believe, that old Virginia will stand by him in it,
As We trust New York will sustain Tallmadge so
do we trust that the Old Dominion will sustain

NOVEL, READING

From DR.. Humphreys Thoughts on Education, ;

Absolutely to prescribe all fiction, would perhaps be
going TOO far think could selec, dozen volumes,
besides Robinson Crusoe, which should be willing to
have my children read in their minority But nothing is
more to be deprecated in family, than morbid appe-
tite for novels and all experience proves, how difficult,
Is TO keep from becoming absolutely rareaous If it
is INDUCED at all Reading one work Of fiction is al
most certain TO create in the young and susceptible
mind, more eager demand for another; and the de-
mand rises at every step OF the progress till is pre-
pared to break all bounds, and to devour wha,e
comes IN It's way, however it may nhamc the
PASSIONS pollue the Imagination, corrupt the heart
One grand objection against putting popular works of
fiction into The hands OF youth Of both sexes is that
the world Of romance, differs entirely from the rough
stormy and matter fact world in which thew are 10

whate pains they may take TO shun It, Suppose your
blooming daughter, Of fifteen could be Transported into
paradise Of perpetual spring and spicy breezes-
Of odorilerons flowers and eahered harmony and gush

TICKLING WIFE TO nEATH-Wc learn from Ga
lignan's Messenger, that the process Of tickling to
death of which we have before had instance, has
been recently renewed at Brgnollcs, in the War; where
man named Behoul applied it to his second wife, 1t
appears after sezng her with hand he with the
other tcked her violently at the bottom Of the feet aud
on the knees and ribs, until he threw her into high
state of irritation. and then held her with her head
downward and her feet in the air with the intent ofpro
ducing congestion of the brain. This he has done
several times but upon the last occasion she saved
by the coming in of her neghbors who attracted
by her cries Reboul taken into custody, and il is
suspected that he got rid Of his first wife by this MEANS

POETRY.
FOR THE MADIsoaiAN.

FOR THE MADsosiAS.
MY NORTHERN HOME.
ol brightly spreads our Northern land,
WIN It's blue hills ranging wide.
where The wild winds blow aud the pillows curl
On The inland oceans side.
And dark the sloried wildwood bends
Where our dusky Yenezee,s
BY cliff, and vale and mountain green,
Is wandering to the sea.
The airs of winter deck our groves
In crystal as they blow,
And hang their fretted garlands out
BY The voicelul torrents flow.
And on our whitened moorands,
Where the snow-brd MARBLES clear,
The pine and fadeleSs holly
Ever robe the changing year.
What though the glowing Southern skies
Are bluer far than ours
And The odorous wind comes laden
From the tropic CLINE OF 1owers1
What though upon greener land
The pilgrim far may roam
Unfading STILL shall memory hold
My own dear Northern home.
Our kingly forests murmur deep,
In their breezy summer shade,
Their broad green banners top the hill,
And iaunt along the glade.
And fresh the ever-chiming winds
Ring full-toned in our sky,
And rolling Erie sends altar
Its lonely music high.
And there's gladness in the shady glens
Where the mountain waters foam,
And spendor on the waving woods
That crown my Northern home. L.
