ANS
OLD VIRGINIA.

A CORRESPONDENT Of the National
lntelligencer, writing from Wilton,
near Richmond, Va, thus speaks of
the diminution in the population of this
State:
"Fhus much have I written with an
eye to tempt to Virginia Northern far.
mers. have great desire to capture
this good old Commonwealth for the
yankee stock of States. Land is
cheap; I say land, of which good farm
may soon be made, from three to ten
dollars an acre. Society is good. The
people are good people. Schools
will come with a population. 1t oftens
seems to me that as yet there are no
people here, and / wish, therefore TO
see them come. [ have 70 take up a
spy glass to see the houses of my
nelghboFs; they are so far off, and yet
SO near am | to capital of about "A,
900 inhabitants that can see its spires
and steepIes, and almost hear the hum
of its laborers. Back of me and below
me, off the river as far as | have ex-
plored, | cannot find much else but
woods, woods, woods. | ride for
miles and miles in the forests, looking
j, for people. And yet this is the first
settled and Oldest part of Virginia.
The people have gone off; they have
settled in Georgia, Alabama, Kentucky,
Missouri, Mississippi, Louisiana, Flor
ida; and now, as if there were too ma
ny people left, a bride is held out to
the rest to go to Texas! Well fthey
will go, all | can say is, Northern far
mers come here and settle. Such land
as you can sell in New York and
Pennsylvania for ffty,and seventy five,
and hundred dollars an acre, you can
buy here from threeto ten.
at is shame, | say that this beau
tiful country, so blessed in climate, and
so little needing only the fertilizing
band ofman, should be- without people
Here IS an old venerable river running
past my door, older than. the Hudson,
now iined with towns and villages
much older than the Ohio-older in
settlement and geography, / mean
but where are, the'peoplea For hum
dred and fifty miles from Richmond
to Norfolk, the first explored river run
ming lntoathe Atlantic Ocean, the home
OF Powhatanand Pocahontas, and the
scenes of the truly chivahous John
Smith-achere are the people, Gone,
] say, to the South and West, the
trumpet blowing them now to 60 to
Texas' Virginia has here depopulated
herself to make homes elsewhere.
Were a Virginian, ! should esteem a
farm worth more on James river with
one good white man, than,all of Tex
as from the Sabine to the Rio de
Norie. Why, here is Teas all about
Us, land as cheapas in the distant Tex
as, and as good. =

DIR. THOMP SONS
UTERINE TRUSS.

II is the opinion of all the principal profess
IL sors of medicine in the United States, who
have given their testimony, that Dr.. IHOmp.
sois's Patent apparatus FIR the cure Of PrOIop-
sus and ether diseases" possesses superior ad-
vantages over any ether apparatus Of the kind
ever presented to the public. Their certifi-
Gates to that effect can be seen by calling on
the undersigned at his store in Woodstock.
These Trusses have been examined by Dir.
irwin, Dir Magruder, & DR.. Wunder, and they
concur with the above sentiments-that it is
the most easy, safe, and certain remedy for
those diseases it processes TO cure, ever inven-
ted.-They can be had at my store. Those
who stand in need of an article of this kind,
would do well to make immediate application.

The Honest Boy.-A gentleman from
the country placed his son with dry
goods merchant in-street. For
a time all went on well. At length a
lady came to the store to purchase a
silk dress, and the young man waited
on her. The price demanded was a.
greed to. He discovered, before he
cut the goods, flaw in the silk, and
pointing it out to the lady, said, Mad
am, 4 deem it my duty to tell you there
is fracture in the silk
Of course she did not take it.
The merchant overheard the remark,
and Immediately wrote to the father Of
the young man to come and take him
home; for said he, 'he qoiN nerer
1'ealse merchant
The father, who ever reposed conf
dence in his son, was much grieyed,
and fastened to the city to be inform
ed for his DEFICIENCIES. SWhy will he
not make a merchant" asked he.
Because he has no taet,' was the
answer.
Only day ortwo ago, he told la
dy, s'oluntarity, who was buying silk
of him, that the goods were damaged;
and | lost the bargain. Purchasers
must look out for themselves. If they
cannot discover faws,it would be fool
Ieb, 90 all Al Al
istence.'
'And is this all his fault" asked the
parent.
Yes answered the merchant; Che is
very we'll in other respects,
Chen love my son better than ever,
and | thank you for telling me of the
matter; | would not have him another
day in your store for the world. F"

A CHANGE OF CUSTOMS WITHIN
FIFTY YEARS.

| The following extracts are from an
article in the New York Mirror. They
are designed by the writer for New
York particularly, but are applicable to
other portions of our country, and wor-
thy of attention. The writer says:
When Washington was president
his wife knit his stockings in PhiladeI-
phia, and the mother made doughnuts
and cakes between Christmas and New
Years; now the married ladies are toe
proud to make doughnuts; besides they
don't know how; so they send tic
Madame Pomadour, Or some other
French cake-baker and buy sponge
cake for three dollars a pound. In
those days, New York was full Of sub
stantial comforts, now it is full of splen-
did misery; then they Were no grey
headed spinisters, unless they were ug-
y indeed for man could get married
for dollar, and begin housekeeping
for twenty, and in washing his clothes
and cooking his yietuals, the wife SAT-
ed more than it took to keep her.
Now, have known a minister to get
five hundred dollars for bucbing a cou-
| pie; then the wine, cake, and etceteras,
five hundred more; wedding clothes
and jewels thousand more six or sew
en- hundred in driving to the springs OIL
some deserted mountain; then house
must be got for eight hundred dollars
| per annum, and furnished at an ex-
pense of two or three thousand; and
when all is done, his pretty wife can
neither makea cake nor put an apple
In dumping. Then cook must be
got for twenty dollars per month, a
chambermald,a laundress,a seamstress,
at seven dollars each; and as the fash
ionable folly ofthe day has banished
the mistress from the kitchen, those
blessed helps aforesaid, reign supreme;
and while masterand mistress are play
ing cards III the parlor, the servants
are playing the devil in the kitchen
thus lighting the candle at both ends
1t soon burns out. Poverty comes in
at the door, and drives love out at the
window. tits this stupid and expen-
sive nonsense which deters so many
unhappy Old bachelors from entering
the state Of blessedness; hence you find
more deaths than marriages.
