LADIES THINK OF THIS.

W omen of character, who hardly ever Scru- pie to receive them into their society, provi- ded they are rich, talented and fashionable, even though they have been guilty of ever so much baseness to other women.'
 Who said that? It is true as book, and truer than great many books that are written in these days, and which do not con- tam half so much value as is embraced in the above paragraph. It is astonishing to us that the married and unmarried ladies who appear to value their characters, and who move Tn respectable society, will receive inc to ther parties and caress, nay, do not hesi- tate to be seen in public, arm in arm, with men whose characters are pretty we'll un- derstood to be bad in the worst sense that should be odious and abominable to pure, uncontaminated female mind. We have of- ten seen the society of such people honored and preferred over men of exemplary char | acters, merely because the latter could not be called rich or fashionable. Such an er- TOT as this in the female sex is positive in- jury to the cause of sound morals. Ladies need not wonder at the iniquity there is in the other sex if they do not make guilt dis qualifying circumstance against them.- They should scorn even the approach of such pestilential wretches and repel their presence as an affront and insult to their sex. Let them do this, and the guilty will soon fall to the ignominious level which their ig- nominious conduct merits. We would not be unjust in this matter, but really we cannot see ladies of quality allowing themselves. under any circumstances, in the company of men of doubtful character, without having our fears that all is not innocent on their own side. A woman, as we'll as a man, should be known by the company she keeps.

 Home Afeciion-The heart has memories that cannot die. The rough rubs of the world cannot obliterate them. They are memories of home, early home. There is magic in the very sound. There is the old tree under which the light hearted boy swung in many summer day-yonder riv- CT in which he learned to swim-there the house in which he knew parents love, and found parents prOtection-nay, there is the room in which he romped with brother or sister, long since, alas! laid in the yard in which he must seen be gathered, over- shadowed by yon old church, whither with a joyous troop like himself, he has often fol- lowed his parents, to worship with and hear the good old man who gave him to God in baptism. Why, even the very school house, associated in youthful days with thoughts of ferule and tasks, now comes back to bring pleasant rcmembFances of many an attach ment there formed, many an occasion that called forth some generous exhibitions of the nObleSt traits of human nature. There he learned to feel some of his best emotions.--j There, perchance, he first met the being who | by her love and tenderness in after life has made home for himself, happier even than that which childhood knew. There are cer- tain feelings of humanity, and those too among the best, that can find an appropriate place for their exercise only by one's own yesds s Chat asse spot MhsK &sss n sse s D dissertation to violate. He who seeks wan tonly to invade it, is neither or more less than a villain and hence there exists no surer lest of the debasement of morals in community than the disposition to tolerate in any mode the man who disregards the sanctities of pri- vate life. In the turmoil of the world, let there be at least one spot where the poor man may find affection that is disinterested where he may indulge a confidence that is not likely to be abused.
 A correspondent of a country paper, in re- fecting upon the influence of time on men, and their works, thus breaks out: Where is Babylon, whose towering walls and massive gates rendered it, in the view of its inhabit- ants. secure from the invasive foe; and whose magnifcence wealth and grandeur, constituted it the glory of the world? Where is Troy, Athens, Palmyra, and favored Jeru- salem, "where the glory of Solomon shed its splendors, and where the son of the Highest redeemed world? 2" In all ot these. riches and elegance have given place to barrenness and shapeless heaps of fallen greatness.-- Where is Solomon, whose wisdom attracted the attention of the queen of Sheba, and whose fame was so extensive ?-BOston Atlas.
 Aye, where are all these places and per sons! Safe, we believe, and thriving. Bab- ylon is in Suffolk county, New York, and, Ii it is not the glory fthe world, it is undoubt- edly the pride of the neighborhood. Athens is in every State in the Union almost, ex- cepting the New. England States; and Troy, 1 spite of the poets remark, is yet in flour 1 ishing state; Palmyra's are found by scores | in this country, with as great women ana good critics as ever; and Jerusalem IS still in Virginia, remarkable for negro insurrec- tions and good oysters. solomon IS well; and we saw him only yesterday, his basket of bright boots attracting great attention. Sol omon, therefore, is we'll. And on the whole, we think, that had any decent place been apostrophised, from Paradise to Jericho, we should, by looking over some gazetteer Of our country, have been enabled to say "aIls well."-U s. Gaz. BronchiLis-Hs Cause-A writer in re- cent number of the American Repertory, makes the following remarks respecting Bronchitis, and we do not know but his infer- ence may be to great extent correct:- [" Various causes have been assigned for this disease, such as the use of anthracite coal, wearing cravats, constrained posture m pub- ] lie prayer, speaking in basements, or other
