DOMESTIC HAPPINESS.

Our safest way of coming into communion with
mankind is through our own household. For there
our sorrow and regret at the angs of the bad is in
proportion 10 our love while our familiar inter-
course with the good has secretly assmilating in
lluencc upon our characters. The domestic man
has an independence of thought which puts him at
ease in society, and bencyolcnce of feeling which
seems to ray on, from him, and TO dluse pleas
urable sense over those near him. like soft bright
day. As domestic life strengthens mans virtue
so does i, help to sound judgement, and right
balancing OF things, and gives an integrity and
propriety 10 the whole character. God in his good
ness, has ordained that virtue should make it, own
enjoyment, and that whenever vice or fraiIty is
rooted out, something should spring up to be
beauty and delight to the mind. But man of
character, rightly east, has the pleasure at home,
which, though itad to his highest nature, are COM
mon 10 him as his daily food. lie moves about his
house under Il coniua sense Of them, and is happy
almost without needing it.
Women have been called angels in love tales
and sonncts, till we have almost learned to think of
angels as little better than woman. Yet man who
knows woman thoroughly, and loves her truly
and there are women who have been so known and
loved-will find after few years, that ibis relish
for the grosser pleasure is csscncd and that he has
grown into londness for the intellectual und re-
fined without an effort, and almost unawarcs. lie
has been led on to virtue through his pcasurc3;and
the delights of the eye, and the gentle play of tina,

President aud Senator Benton have had high cords
in Washington upon the merits Of Old Tppecanoe
The conversation, as reported, was to the effect
that Benton, in the presence of Col Johnson, IN his
accustomed vulgar style, pronounced Gen. Harrison
coward and granny. The Colonel replied that
he could reconcile ii to his sense of truth and
justice 10 hear such remarks without expressing his
dissent. He knew Gen. Harrison ell, and he knew
him 10 be neithera coward nor an mbece and
whoever charged him with either stated thai " hich

eye-balls flashed the living fire. The Colonel was
cool and composed, and maintained that such char
