AS a general rule, early marriages are desira-
conditions, either that of property, inherited
or already acquired, adequate to the usual ex-
pense, or that Of simplicity and frugality in
the style of living, sufficient to reduce the ex-
pense within the present earnings. The latter
is always the best. It's the happiest and most
virtuous state of society," in which the husband
and wife set out early together, make their
property together, and with perfect sympathy
of soul graduate all their expenses, plans, cal
culations, and desires, with reference to their
present means, and to their future and COM
mon interest.
Nothing delights me more than to enter the
neat little tenement of the young couple who,
within perhaps two or three years, without
ANY resources bnt their own knowledge and
industry, have joined heart and hand, engag-
ing to share together the responsibilities, du-
ties, interests trials, and pleasures Of life. The
industrious wife is cheerlully employing her
own hands in her domestic duties, putting her
house in order, or mending her husbands
clothes, or preparing the dinner while per-
maps the little darling sits prattling upon tho
floor or lies sleeping in the cradle, and every
thing seems preparing to welcome the happl-

come home from his toll to enjoy the sweets
of his little paradise. This is true domestic
pleasure, the "onIy bliss that has survived
the fall" Health, contentment, love, abund-
ance, and bright prospects are all there.
But it has become a prevailing sentiment,
that man must acquire his fortune before he
marries; that the wife must have no sympathy
nor share with him in the pursuit of it, i'll
which, most Of the pleasure truly consists; and
that young married people must set out with
as large and expensive ali establishment as is
becoming those who have been welded for
twenty years
This is very unhappy. 1t fills the commu-
nifty with bachelors, who are whiting to make
their fortunes, end,ngering virtue and promo
ting vice it mistakes the true economy and
design of the domestic constitution and it
promotes dlcness and ine1ficiency among fe-
males; who are expecting to be taken up by
Il fortune and passivcly sustained, without any
care or concern on their part; and thus many
il modern wife becomes, as a gentleman once
remarked, not a "help meet" but only help

hands of LABoR-tle head of KNOWLEDGE.
Let those who have forsaken rural labors and
been disappointed in their utopan dreams of
riches and happiness, return with the humility
OF the prodgal son to a torg,ing parent. They
will be kindly received, and amply remuner-
aed for their labor, especially in the pursuit
OF agriculture, the fields of which offer safe
and certain return 10 the fostering hand of in
dustry. We must live more within our 0w.
means; dress ourselves with orr domestic IA
brIcs; use nor buy any articles of foreign
manufacture, and we will thus save millions
TO our country, which has yearly been sent
abroad, and for large amount of which we
are still in debt.
BY economzing thus our expenditures,
both in time and money, keeping constantly in
mind, that by the will of Divine Providence,
ours is the most favored nation on earth; and
it ought to be the fervent aspiration of every
honest heart, that we may be equally pre-em-
inent in goodness, that the God of the uni
verse will smile upon our land, and the popu-
|atlon thereof again become a contented and
happy people. That we may contribute to the
accomplishment of this desirable consumma-
tion-that we may be just to ourselves, and
true to our posterity: let us endeavor to pro.
mote the general diffusion of hnouledee, the
tountan-head of all that can qualify man for
usefulness and happiness i'll this life and that
too come.

Noraoich and Worcester Railfoad.-This
road has just been finished. 1t unites with
the Boston and Worcester railroad, and thus
completes an unbroken railroad conmunca-
ton from Norwich to Boston, without q
:change of cars or baggage. In connexioin
with line of daily steamboats, from New York
ito Norwich, it affords the most rapid an
agreeable route between New York al
Boston, at the very reasonable fare of five dc
lars through. This road passes over the mo
extensive manufacturing district in Connccs

Street Recollections Of the Departed.-
IA looking back to the life of one we have
loved, bow dear is the thought, that the latter
days were the days of light--that the cloud
never chilled the beauty of the setting sun,
ana that II the years of existence were brief.
all that existence has most tender, most sacred,
was crowded into that space! Nothing dark,
then, nor bitter, rests with our remembrance
OF the lost; zoe are the mourners, but pity is
not for the mourned-our grief is purely sell
fish: when we turn TO its object, the hues of
happiness around it, and that very love which
is the parent of our woe, was the consolation
the triumph--of the departed!

Good Mazi"ss. Keep up your spirits by
good thoughts. Enjoy the pleasant company
of your best friends; but in all enjoy1nents be
temperate. Learn the art, to be preferred be-
tore all others, Of being happy when alone
which consists in the encouragement of good
hopes and rational pursuits-ir leading an in
dustrous life, and in converse with the world:
be ever careful, for the sake of peace, to speak
i'll of no one, to treat known enemy with
clvility, and shut your ears against all evil re-
ports of all kinds.

Neespnpers.-The celebrated writer "Ju-
Mus" thus speaks of newspapers. We COM
mend it to the attention Of all:
"They who conceive our newspapers are
no restraint upon bad men, or impeachment to
the execution of bad measures, know nothing
of this country. Our ministers and magis-
trates have really little punishment to fear, and
few difficulties to contend with, beyond the
censure of the press and the spirit of resistance
it excites among the people. While this cen.
serial power is maintained, to speak in the
words Of most ingenious foreigner both
ministers aud magistrates are compelled, in al
most every instance, to choose betwecn his
duty and his reputation A dilemma of this
kind perpetually before him, will not indeed
work miracles OIL his heart, but it will assur-
eddy operate in some degree upon his con-
duct"

THE DEATH BED.
mThe tongues of dying men
Enforce attention like deep harmony"

Shakespeare.
1t is sad, but instructive duty to lineer
around the couches of the dying and the dead
There we catch pang of that sorrow which
all are doomed to feel; and there remember
that all the hopes and fears of life, must at last
be crowded into one short hour Must this
eye glance feebly and be yelled in deaths
nolseleSs slumbers must this warm blood
seek the heart for the last time, and must this
eloquent glow on my cheek fade away IN the
Guinness of the tomb? And what shall re-
celve as recompense for the pangs of death
Are there no pleasant landscapes or green
islands upon which to recline the spirit faint
ing on Jordan's dark pillows! Oh shall the
worm, the death-sheet and the senseless earth
alone meet me in the life to come The tomb
may rot. Six thousand years have borne wit
ness to It's silence. But list, oh man, ito that
divinity which stirs within thee p, Does it
tell thee nothing OF joy to come? Does it re-
veal no gleamngs of Il river of life-no echo
OF angelic song-no harpings of redeemed
spirits in untroubed realms ? Or, rather does
it not tell thee of golden landscapes, elevated
and expansive-of lovely temples and burn
ing splrlts-of unfading diamonds, ancient as
|eternlty-and of a pleasant realm, and where
no sorrows may come over us like the GOODNESS
of Alpine streams? fit does not tremble: for
more terrible than the cold pulseless vapors of
the tomb be thy destiny

Aduice to Young Men.-Matthew Carey
SAYS, "Shun the despicable character of a
political brawler. But let noting, except be-
ing bed ridden, prevent you from exercising
that inestimable privilege the elective fran
chse. Never disgrace yourself by an absence
from the polls, under the unjustifable, fala-
cious plea, tlat your single vote is of no con-
sequence. Some of the most important meas
ures of legislative bodies, here and elsewhere,
have been carried by majorities of one, two
or three. Never have to reproach yourself,
that profigate man has been elected, or a
bad measure adopted, through your absence
from th!s>soc.od duty"

Sadness There is mysterious feeling
that frequently passes like cloud over tho
spirit. 1t comes upon the soul in the busy
hustle of life, i'll the social circle, in the calm
and silent retreats of solitude. Its powers arc
alike supreme over the weak and iron-hearted.
At one time it is caused by the fitting of
single thought across the mind. Again, a
sound will come booming across the ocean of
memory, gloomy and solemn as death knell,
overshadowing all the bright hopes and sunny
feelings Of the heart. Who can describe it,
and vet who has not felt its bewilderng infu-
ence? Still it is a delicious sort of sorrow,
and like cloud dimming the sunshine of the
river, although causing a momentary shade of
gloom, it enhances the beauty of returning
brightness. Westchester Spy.
