OLD MAIDS.

Among the foolish prejudces which dis credit the judgment of mankind, the prej- udics against old maids is one of the most foolish. The very fact that lady is an old maid, is, or ought to be-. creditable.- It is an evidence that she possesses pru- dence, foresight, and a refined taste; ad- mirable qualities in woman! IL is better to be overly prudent, particularly cautious, than not prudent and cautious enough.- The old maid generally has the virtue of prudence in it's perfection ;-she had offers of marriage, no doubt; what lady of thirty and upwards has not? She has rejected several snitors, most likely, and doubtless she has reasons for so doing. It had been well for many welded woman, had she prac,iced the same caution. Much better is it to be happy old maid than msera. bIe wife. So thought the old maid, and thought correctly, when she rejected Messrs. So and So. Perhaps she has iiv- ed 10 see one of her former lovsrs hanged, another in the peniten'iary .samd third in the slms-house. Perhaps one who she was censured for rel"siug has since proved a druukard and vagrant, or, having Suc- ceeded in getting wife, has made her emi- nentlv wretched. All this mischief the old maid may have fOreseen, and by her Pr"- dence escaped it..
Litchfield enquirer., 1841-12-30

1 Old maids are often, very often, women of superior minds; and suel. are most like ly to be old maids, for more than one req son. In the first place, they have the dis erection to be slow in selecting their part. ners for life; and as three- fourths of man. kind have not the qualifications to make good husbands, it may be supposed that discreet and judicious woman will rejecE three out of four of those who solicit her hand. This, of course, makes her chances for marriage fewer, but it makes her chan- ces for happiness much greater. The sec ond cause why sensible women arc apt to become old maids is, that most men dread a sensible woman. It is not uncommon to hear man who is not fool himself, make disparagng remarks concerning '' female Solomons," Plates in petticoats," &c.- Who has ever known very highly gifted ladies to be popular among their male ac- quaintance Men are apt to think that talents do not belong lo the feminine mind; and when they have discernment enough to admire gifted woman as friend or occa- sional companion, they rarely think of ma- king her friend and companion for life.- All these things tend to show that sensible and gifted women are most likcly~to be old maids, and the converse Of the proposition holds good with few exceptions; old maids are generally sensible and gifted women.
 Where is the woman that knows how to conduct business Who are the successful authoresses2 The most meritorious are almost invariably old maids. Where is the lady, who has become eminent in any art or science ?-in nine cases out of ten she is an old maid. Even your most celebrated singers and dancers are unmarried, and pre- sumed to be old maids ;-though they sel- dom allow themselves to look old. Where is the woman distinguished or celebrated for any thing, from Queen Elizabeth to Miss Mar,meauf Ay, search her out, and see an old maid, or something truly won- derful and rare; wigs an exception from rule very general. Glory to the old maids! say we. Let them flourish i; le, them have statues erected to their honor ;-let them be eligible to seats in Congress and places in the Cabinet! Let them be generals in the army, if they choose, and commodorcs in the navy. Were we to acknowledge their rights in an these things, we might find our account in it. Especially as M. C's, they might do better than many, in panta- looms, who have gone before them. Give them trial.-National Gazette.

 Aerial Flighf.-The greatest exploit of trave! ever made on this side of the Aantic-or the other esher for aught we know-was performed by Mir Clayton. the celebrated aeronaut. He started from Cincnna- ii with his balloon, and travelled thence to the Ale ghany mountains, distance of $50 miles, in nine and half hours!
 A Mississippi paper states that Mir. Gwin, one of the newly elected anti bond members of Congress, was indebted to the Union Bank of Mississippi, up- wards of 95O,OOO, all of which except small sum paid in depreciated paper, remains unpaid. He is an out-and-out anti. .bonder.

"OWAIN - oNxAAES. If aught in social scenes of life, Which e'er our passing time beguile, If aught can make the bosom glow,
 'Tis woman's smile. If aught can raise the dropping heart, And make it glow with joy awhile, If aught can pleasing sense impart,
 'Tis woman's smile. If aught for labor and for pains Can thrice repay the greatest toiI; If aught can please like magic strains,
 'Tis woman's smile. If aught can damp the brightest joy. And sink the highest pleasure down, If faught can pleasing sense destroy,
 'Tis woman's frown.

THE NEW PRESIDENT.

Mr.. Tyler, although certainly not one whom
he people Of the United States ever intended to
make their Chief Magistrate, has become so in
conformity with the Constitution. His position
must he unexpected and embarrassing; and he is
fairly entitled to generous Treatment from his po-
lncaI adsersariss, as well as the best assistance
OF his friends. As Governor of Virginia, and as
the representative OF the Commonwealth in the
Senate of the United States, he has shown ability
enough for any station. Let HIM take his own
stand with frankuess suited 10 the emergency.
Let him not be softly deluled by the insinuating
suggestion that he may catch he mantle of Ell.
Jah; but put . his own ,estments, take his ewn
attitude, and steer his own course. Let him bring
into action the Democratic principles which first
made him popular in the Ancient Dominion
Let HIN not shrink from the Herculean task
which an act of Providence has called him TO per.
form. Let hun not yield to the dictates of lndo
lence and roll no the bed that others have made
for hun. The country will soon perceive wheth.
or or not be has fallen victim to the organization
around HIM; whether or not he is capable of self
government; whether or not he Yields himself a
mere aulomaton 10 the giant Of Hartford Conyen-
ton federalism. Let him be himstl(, and he
cannot fail 10 be respected.

In proof Of the HIGH esteem IN which Dr. Ha-
gan is held at the north wherever he has hereto
fore lived, We copy the following from that very
respectable W x paper, the Pennsylvania lnqui
Ter, OF March the 22nd, IN which the editor nitro
duces an account of the late street fight between
Hagau and fIagg. Says the Inquirer
" 1t is bul justice to the parties concerned, that
the whole affair, IN It's chef features, should be
spreadhslore The public, especially as DR.. Hogan
has InAly friends m this city, who, however they
may fcgFcI his present pos'''o", md tho a~",-
street fights and murderous brawls in which he
has been engaged, remember him as resident
Of Philadelphia few years back, and as one Of
the most lnutfenslve and retiring Of men, and the
very soul of honor. The atmosphere Of Vcks.
burg, and the political strife in which he has min
ged for the last three or four years. have effected
an extraordinary change in his character, and
rendered him any thing but a lamb. Still we in
duge hope that DR.. lagau is, against his bet
Ter nature, forced by the custom Of society and
the influence perhaps Of Jealous political friends
TO adopt course Of violence aud personal eoni'
bat, which those who remember HIM IN his early
career, aud who stIlI cherish towards him warm
| degree Of friendship, deeply regret
/" II seems that in the present case the editor O
the Wing copied from the louisville journal,
paragraph nslnualIng that Hagau as the agent O
tho Washington Monument Association, collect
ed money Tor sacred object, and By appeals t,
the patriotic feelings OF his lellow'cnizeus, wheel
he subsequently applied 10 his own use. Thu
charge was made year or two ago IN anothe
quar- er, and was fully and conclusiyey reluled a

gan howeve: they may deprcate the violent coars
