The WIFE.-How ready she is to adapt her
self to all his ways! and with whims, some.
times as many as the stars, yet for every one
has she her own sweet spell. And then the
thousand capacities never called out before =
And how well pleased she is to find that, as
the task is sent so is the strength sent with it.
How ready is she 10 unlearn courtship, and to
learn content, perhaps the hardest and least
ready Of her tasks: but she does learn it. And
the work day Of life comes, which, cling to it
as she will, must make her give up the angel
and take to the woman. She has 10 s'box the
compass" of domestic cares: sNor'-nor least,
and nor nor'west," and God speed her if she
do it conscentiously No point must be pass
ed : the drawing-room, the nursery, and, good
lack, the larder; all must, as by magic, be the
result of her own clear and steady rule. She
knows that, unless she manages, all will go
wrong and she knows as surely, that, if she
seems to manage all will not 60 right.
"she who ne'er answers till husband cools,
And if she rules him, never shows she rules;
Charms by accepting, by submitting sways,
Yet has her humor most when she obeys"
sensible woman knows all this. And she
knows more ; she knows how to have smiles
ready in the mids. of al; her toll, and sometimes
her care smiles for husband, aud good humor
for his friends. The tears are all her own, and
almost all that she can we'll nigh call her own;
for woman will cry at things thai men pass
by with Indifference and, fshe keeps her tears
to herself, surely they are her perquisites-her
privilege. All these capabilities and soothing
powers are expected, ay, and fonnd in a wo-
man. Woman have, and ever will have, if
they do their duty, these duties to perform and
to do them with cheerful patience and smi-
ling face, is the best charm for constaucy. Can
we fancy man, only for one day, in their po-
sition! The servants would all be discharged,
the children whipped and sent to bed, and HIM
self, by nightfall, just fit for Bedlam.

Jues.-The jug is the most singular utensil;
pail, tumbler, decanter may Be raised, and
you may satisfy yourself by optical proof thai
the thing is clean; but the jug has little hole
in the top, and interior is all darkness. No eye
penetrates it, no hand moves over the surface.
You can clean it only by putting in water,
shaking it up, and pouring it oct. If the wa
ter comes clean, you judge you have succeeded
in purifying the jug, and vice versa. Hence
the jug is like the human heart. No mortal
eye can look into its recesses, tut you can
Judge of its purity only by what comes out Of
it.--N. Y. Aurora.

TENNESSEE LEGISLATURE.

In the Tennessee House of Representa-
tives, on the 9th inst, Mr.. Perkins of win
hanson, introduced another relief bill
which provides that the bank Of the State
shall renew all notes under discount by
the payment of the interest upon giving
good and sufficient security. 1t also pro-
vides that the bank shall not pay specie for
its notes of five dollars and under, until the
first day of January, 1S43. This bill, il
it becomes a law, will, in effect, saws the
Nashville Wing, amount to a suspension Of
specie payments. The consequence would
be. that all above the denomination of five
would be withdrawn from circulation, and
their place supplied by notes of five dollars
and under.

A PRETTY DECEPTION AND INCIDENT -
During the visit of the members of the
Liberty Fire Company, of Baltimore,
TO this city, the Good Will Engine
Company regaled them with a most
sumptuous supper, which was prepared by
the wives and sisters of the members. The
tables, laden with rare dishes, were set in
the spacious rooms of the engine house,
which were handsomely decorated with
flags, banners, &c. Conspicuous among
the tempting dishes stood large and deep
pie. 1t seemed full of promise, "it pie

would soon be opened. At length a gen.

knife and penetrated the crust; when 10!

geon, scattering the rich pastry from its
wings as it wheeled round the room. The
carver stood amazed, and, doubtless, sorely
disappointed. When the mirih had subsi

NEW HAMPSHIRE.

The Legislature of this State reason.
bled at Concord on the I'd instant. and
Gov. Hubbard delivered an Address. 1t is
a long document, considering the size of the
State, and treats fussily Of number OF
things-Miliia, Probate, Taxing of Wo-
men. &c. QIe thinks the property of Wo-
men should not be taxed as much per cent
as that of the Menu 1t refers to the
Rhode Island Question, and Of course sus-
tains the Dorr side of it. 1t recommends
that New Hampshise shall refuse her share
Of the Land Distribution. 1t speaks Of the
New Tariff as follows:
The recent act Of Congress imposing a
Tariff of duties on imports. puts an end to
this most obnoxious policy of distributing
the public means among the respective
States. We cannot but rejoice that an end
has been put to dislributlon--but we deep
~ regret that it has been accomplished by
the adoption of a system of revenue that
has nothing to recommend it to our fay or
but the provision which it contains, for con-
6ning hereafter the public means solely to
the public use. A tariff like this, unequal
in lis e1acions, discriminating in its char
acter, looking more to protection than to
revenue, is without that uniformity in lis
operations which alone can make it con-
fOrmable to the constitution of the United
States
Hear this Mechanics and Artisans! and
show il 10 the next locofoco who tells YOU
that Protection is not a question between
the two parties!
On the subject of Apportionment, Gov.
Hubbard says:
Congress at its late session passed an
act requiring of the respective States to
district their own territory for the election
of Representa- ives to the popular branch
of our Government, and also for fixing the
ratio of such representation. New Hamp-
shire, according to the provisions Of that
act, W i'll be entitled to only four Represen,
latives in Congress for the next ten years.
Entertaining decided opinion against the
policy of dividing our State into districts
for the choice of Representatives. and be-
ieving that Congress has no constitutional
power to require of the State Govern
ments such an act of legislation, / hope ma
such lac ,C'N be passed atthe present session
The whole subject matter, however, ad-
dresses itself exclusively to your own good
sense and sound discretion"
Here is distinct recommendation to
nulify law of Congress. And Why
Gov Iiubbard's opinion is that it is not con
stitutiopoli Indeed And CD cyor,, n, a :,
is to obey those laws which in his opinion
are consonant with the Constitution! Our

And sought with calm, unrutfled brow,
Ny secret thoughts to hide.
We parted-but gazed in vain

That faded hopes, and sickening fears,
My stricken soul would fill.

Aye with mora joy, my loved, mine own,
With more true, ten der pride,
I'd share thy scorned and humble home,
Than be monarch's bride.
For what were all the world to me-
Its pleasures bright and fair,
lis witching smiles, unshsred by thee!
Ny heart would languish there!
One glance of thine, one little word,
To Inc is dearer far,
Than all the whispered praises heard
BY fashions brightest star
Id rather cheer thine hours of pain,
And watch thy couch beside,
Than queen Of youth and beauty reign,
Ofglitterng throngs the pride!
Next to my God, yield to thee,
My first and warmest love,
Whate'er in life thy portion be,
Whate'er Its truth may prove.
Though every earthly hope decay,
