LIFE IN THE WEST.

Geographical differences are material in
defining age; and if one could move about
iudiciously, he might, perhaps, continue
young until the end of his time. Here in
the east, we are young folks-sort O. young
-as long probably as we choose TO behave
young, on the principle of handsome is that
handsome does; but in some sections of the
west, it appears to be different. A travelling
companion Of ours once was rather astonish-
ed on being told that he, "the old mann
some thirty or thirty-6ve, at that perlod,-
might sleep there, the best accommodations
being required for his advanced stage of ex-
istence; and we now see that an Iowa jour
nal records the death of one of the oldest
and most respectable inhabitants" OF Iowa
city, what think you, reader?-at the venera-
bic age of tweHty-nine !-Old, we presume,
in comparison with Iowa city; but scarcely
patriarch in any other view, unless indeed
our Iowa city friends live faster than othel
people and get over large expanse OF expe-
rience in an amazingly brief space Of time
Some people do it here; but I" SO wise SC
young they say, do ne'er live long" Yet il
life is TO be measured bylevents--by the
march Of fertilization, the upspringing of fcities
and the formation of states-then the stir
ring inhabtant Of the vest lives as much in
his year as the crawling man of European
practice does in fcentury.-Neal's Satu''

Whatever may be made by
perjury, | believe there never was man
who made fortune by swearing. 1t often
happens that men pay for swearing, but it
seldom happens that they are paid for it. 1t
is not easy to perceive what honor or credit
is connected with it. Does any man receive
promotion because he is a notable blusterer?
Or is any man advanced in dignity because
he is expert in profane swearing? Low must
be the character which such impertinence
will exalt; high must be the character which
such impertinence will not degrade. Inex-
cusable, therefore, must be the practice
which has neither reason or passion to sup
port it. The drunkard has his cups; the
lecher his mistress; the satirist his revenge
the ambitious man his preferment; the mi
ser his gold; but the common swearer has
nothing; he sells his soul for nought, and
drudges in the service of the devil gratis
Swearing is void of all plea; it is not the
offspring of the soul, not interviewer with
the texture of the body; nor any how allied
to our frame. For, as Tillotson expresses it
g though some men pour out oaths as if they
were natural, yet no man was ever born Of "a
swearing constitution"

had been a fayourite resort of Mary and
himself in other days. 1t was completely
sheltered in thick vines, which ne was about
10 put aside in order TO enter, when ne was
arrested by the voice Of some one apparently
occupying it. He drew back and the voice
began the prelude to song. Every tone
was full of pathos-lke yet unlike those OF
Mary. His heart beat violently, and ne
leaned against tree for.support. And now
his doubts no longer perplexed him, for ne
fully recognized the voice Of Mary, as in
tone of melting sadness she sang these lines
Of Moore ~
.Asa beam on the face ofthe waters may glow
While the tide runs in GOODNESS and darkness below
So the face may be tinsed with warm sunny smile,
Tho the cold heart to ruin runs darkly the while,
ons fatal remembrance, one sorrow which throws
Its bleak shade alike DER our joys and our woes;
To which life nothing brighter nor darker can bring,
For which Joy hath balm and affection no sting"
| The voice Of the singer trembled as she
proceeded, and became choked with tears
as she finished the last line. Hereford put
aside the vines and gazed stealthily on her.
;. Oh! how pale was that sad, sweet face
And could it be, he asked himself, that she
had suffered all this for him. She drew
forth miniature from her bosom, at this in
slant, and gazcd earnestly upon it. From
where he stood the face was plainly visible,
and his brain grew dizzy with happiness as
he saw it was his own. In that moment all
his proud resolutions faded away, everything
was forgotten but that paie, wan face, and
the consciousness of Mary's love, long
treasured in despite of absence and neg
lect. He sprang forward and fell at her
feet.
"Will you forgive me?" he said. Can
you overlook my hasty anger and continued
!. neglect But, oh! believe me, Mary, ii has
cost me unremitting agony"
Startled, confused, yet still sensible o.
her sudden happiness, Mary could only ex
: tend her hand to her lover and murmur his
name, before she fell fainting into his arms
You may we'll suppose, fair reader, they
never quarrelsd again; and though thel
: have now been married for years, neithe
! Mary nor Hereford has yet exchanged ;
harsh word. They made an agreement be
fore they were united that both should no
; be angry at the same time, and the contrac
has been religiously kept in spite of PRIDl
AND PIoUE.

an experimental squadron of ten English
ships of war will very soon, on being man
ned and equipped for scar, and with full FIVE
months provisions, make a." demonstration

cludes by saying that this demonstration

SINGULAR INSTANCE OF TURKISH ETI-
ouETTE.-The following circumstance may
be mentioned in proof of the rigid severity
of the law which forbids men 10 look upon
the unveiled faces of women, or even TO
enter the harem of their nearest connections.
Emn Bey, colonel of engineers, and Dervish
Effendi, professor of natural philosophy at
Galata Serai, both studied in Europe and
principally in England, where they laid the
foundation for those requirements that will
probably raise them TO high distinction in
their respective departments. These two
young men married two sisters, both girls of
good education, daughters of the Hokim
Bashy. The two husbands not being over
rich, and their young wives not having any
immediate dowry, the brothers-in-law deter
mined to inhabit the same house and to
share expenses. This proposition being
agreed to by the families, good house was
selected, containing two commodious suits
of apartments. Here the two couple settled
themselves and placed their establishment
under the superintendence of the professors
widowed mother. Now, it might be sup
poSSu thoI tWo ouCh hooI Sohh0Ctioio, h'ihS
under the some roof uniting purses, and
having almost all interests in common, would
Join together in domestic sociality, and form
as it were one family. But this is not the
case. The two sisters nhabit the same
stting-room in the harem, and the two men
divide the some apartment in the salamyk;
but each wife has her distinct chambers,
into which the husband of the other never
enters, so that Dervish Efendi has never set
eyes on the unveiled face of his sister-in-law,
and Emin-Bey has never looked upon the
uncovered features of his brother-in-law's
wife. Thus the two ladies are as complete
strangers to their respective brothers-in-law
as if they were living under distinct roefs.--
