tranquility as been utterly destroyed, that
might have been saved by a wiia's control
over her propariy and when every thing is
lost through ha I,nprudenCc or mlsConduci,
and she tries to support her children or herself
by her own efforts, Is their tranquility pro-
NOTED by his wasting upon his W wees the
proceeds Of her efforts 7 Under all circum-
stances, in all conditions of lie, one # the
greatest foes 10 domestic tranquility is the
absolute control ofthe husband over tho wife's
property and one Of its greatest securities
would be her power to "stop the supplies so
Tar az her own property was concerned, Tor
any lnprudent or improper purposes.
We hear and read many complaints about
fortune hunters, and must admit that men who
seek q wotnan's hand merely for her property,
and for the purpose Of applying # to any ptr-
pose independent Of her happiurps and res
probability deserve the contempt Of men and
the scorn of women. But nothing so much
promotes this SPIRIT Of fortune hunting, AZ our
mlserabIy defective laws, which place a wife'a
property within a husbands reach, and that
in,prudent generosity which makes women
neglect their own safety. A mere fortune
hunter, or one who would marry a woman
with property when he would net marry with
ou', is generally devoid Of principle and nd
dlCted to low tastes; and as such men cult
vate 40 their stock in trads, those powars Of
pleasing by which woman, especially in youth,
are too easily captivated, they nre two often
succcasfuI. And what is I he fate Of the wo-
men whom they marry , The sorrowful re-
cords of bIighted hopes and broken hearts are
mostly filed by the wives of fortune hunters.
The legal control of woman over their c~r
property would elIsctuaIiy save them from
tie langs Of such serpente, and furnish a test
by which they could distinguish the man Of
honor from the villain for mere fortune hun
'er5 would not resort 10 marriage for plumber.
when the law put tho spoil beyond their reach
Wowen OF generous feeling often object TO
any settlement Of their property upon them
selves. But a rational generosity would
prompt a worna to aar, not " surrender all
to your CONTROL but 81 keep all for ysur
sake" How Is her generosity most gratjficd !
BY being involved in difficulties by her hus-
band, Or By being able to shelter him when
a storm has sa ept away his own house ! If
he should FAY that pride ought to restrain
him from such all, we reply that pride snght
to restrain hirn more from destroying his wlie's
shelter.
We say, lot the law secure TO women their
own property.

A PAGE ON CONCHOLOGY.

What God it was / cannot say.
But enc there was when love was King,
Who wandering by some Grecian bay,
PlckA up a vacant shell thai lay,
fleached on the shore, a dry, unsav'ry
thing.
Nor is my memory well informed,
CNo Lempriere's at hand to blab)
What tenant had this mansion warm'd,
Something with which the Egean swarm'd
Some lobster | suppose it was, or crab
But he, the cunning brat of heaven,
TrImm'd it according 10 his wish,
Crossed it with fbres, tbree-or seven.
Or as PausaniaS thinks-elcvcn,
And gave a language to the poor, dead
fish.
At once, the house, which, cen when Glld,
by its old habitant, was dumb,
Now rs the immortal artist Wild,
A little Sca-Ddrnn trliIcd
And tremblcd low to the celestial thumb.
Enrapturcd with his new invention,
Up scared he to the hIissful scau
And having caught cen loves attention,
And GAINED a family dlsscnsion,
Went serenadlng through the starry
StttEt.
With us the story'sthc reverse
Our souls are born already strung,
But, 'twixt the cradle and the hcarsr,
Crecps a change OR us-for the wrrae
The heart hath music only Sicn It's
young,
For soon comes a sordid God,
Who snaps the precious chords of sound,
And leaves the soul an empty pod,
A yellow husk-a dull, bard clod--
A faded shell, in which no voice is found.
Save upon some bold pcrsic hand,
That dares TO strike, the tyraut Time,
Tries its first impulse to command,
And thrilling through tho startled land,
Wastes the last ebblngs Of his youth in
thyme,
