TeJAMEs R. BENsos, Esq, one Of the Ed.
tors Of the Boons Lick Times, has just returned
from St. Louis, whittier he has been on a visit.
Can he not be induced, in accordance with
late rule registered in such cases, 10 write out
.sketches OF his tour" An editors patrons
have a sort Of equitable lien on all his knowl.
edge, especially on that obtained during so long
and pearisome a tour as that to St. Louis and
back!-We go in" for the sketches"
Columbia Patriot.
"Never strike man after he is down"
William. Such illusions pourtray petty
spirit; and if our young friend of the Pa
triot wishes to be respected as MAN, he
will acknowledge the unjustness of the
above gratuitous insinuation. The sketches
Of the late editor of the Boonville Regis
ter, were very interesting and instructive,
and when the editor Of the Patriot arrives
at that age, when his friends may safely
permit him to leave the limits of his ma
tive county, we have no doubt the sketches
Of Mr.. Robinson, will materially assist
him as a guide. Boys, who have never
been fifty miles from home, should be
careful how they ridicule men who have
travelled.

The ST. LOUIS PArERs.-Our friends
in ST. Louis, frequently send their papers
for this place by the river; when the boats
make their trips regular, the papers are
received here one day earlier than by the
mail; but they frequently fail, as has been
the case twice this week, and then the
papers are not received until one day after
the regular mail. 1t would be more sure
and satisfactory to send them regularly by
the mail.

Notes on the Census.

The laws of life and mortality between The
sexes are very remarkable. They may be sta
ted thus
l. In the present condition Of the white pop
ula,ion of the United States, the number ot ie-
males born Der annum are about tw elve thouN-
and less than the males. This determines ct
itself tina, PoIvgarv is NOT natural conditions
Of man, and that The laws of nature and relgiod
are the same--that one man shall be huoban'
Of one woman
2. AT twenty years of age, the females ex-
ceed the males. This proves that between
birth and twenty, the mortality amuug the boys
has be- :. much greater than among the girls
From twenty 10 forty, the men again mueh
exceed the women, which shows that this -
The period Of greatest mortality among women.
A. From forty to seventy the difference rap
idy diminishes, the females in the early
part of life, gaining on the males. This shows
this is the period Of greatest danger and expo.
sure 10 men, the least TO women
s. From seventy onwards, the women ou'@
number the men, This shows, cOnclu>lyeiy,
that relatively speaking, in comparison with
men, the healuhiest period Of female lie Is the
close of it, Absolutely; however, no period, to
either sex, is so healthy as that of youth, the
blooming period Of boyhopd and girlhood.
The above deductions Of statistical tables
correspond with every day observations on hu-
man life.
Women are exposed to peculiar hazards IN
middle Of Iife but, in the long run, far the lar
gest part Of exposure, danger and risk, IN CIV
ilized nations fall upon the men in the active

Marrying BecaUse tEae Weather IL
Geld.

The Philadelphia Ledger advises bachelors
to get married because the winter is upon US
How does he know that they will be bettered
by the change? There is no certainty OF getting
rarnr rife. We sleep comfortable enough if
we sleep alone. There is no such 5otherailon
with US as married men have--such your
wife bawling out in the middle of the night
when you are enjoying a sweet dream,
John take your elbow off,
James! lie further on the other side,--You1l
have me out of bed
'Josephl you've kicked the kver of ~
Henry! ge; up you lazy dog lis day.
Richard turn out and put on the lea ketle"
&C. &c.
Nothing OF this kind ever troubles US. There
we lie in our little cot, which is just large
enough for one, with its clean white sheets
st,read over our person, tucked comfortably in
about the sides, and our head raised to digni-
fed height by having our corduroys stuffed un-
der the pillow. How comfortable! We wish
we were there now, instead Of here. When
we 90 TO bed, we never have occasion to ex-
claim, with the virtuous, yet self upbraidlng
Roman
'We have lost day.
On the contrary, we stretch our weary body
out 10 its full length, 1--WE don't curl ourselves
up in bed, as ulgarians dO,) and say, In tone
of seIf-satisfaction--
"Well, here lies a single gentleman, an hon
est editor, type s,icker, and devil, after hard
days work"
We then say our prayers, turn over on our
left side and 90 to sleep. We always sleep
