HINTS ON MATRIMONY.

No woman will be likely 10 dispute with US
when we assert that marriage is her destiny.
A man may possibly fill up some sort Of an
existence without loving; but woman with
nothing 10 love, cherish, care for, and minister
to, is an anomaly in the universe, an existence
without an object. IL is as natural for wo.
man TO have some one to look 10 for protection,
some one TO look 10 for advice and assistance,
as to breathe Without il no woman ever
was or ever can be happy II is the want Of
her nature, and nothing can satisfy her heart
with such void untitled Now, with the ex-
cepiion Of some occasional irregularities in the
in the relative proportions Of the sexes, pro-
duced by circumstances, such as the settle
ment Of new countries, there is no reason why
every man should not have wife, and every
woman husband; and this would easily be
brought about by the exercise Of more com
mon sense and less ambition. Each sex is
looking up for something above its own sphere.
The son Of an industrious and successful me-
chanic must be professional man or mer-
chant instead of following in his fathers foot
sleps-and this is folly the first When he
looks for wife, the neat industrious daughter
of mechanic like his father is not good enough
for him; he must make love to some fine lady
who is one age in advance, that is, her grand
father was mechanic instead Of her father, a
very aristocratic distinction. On the other
hand, the girl who works for her living, earn
ing it by her honest labors, would not deign
TO encourage the addresses of laboring man I;
she would set her cap for gentleman, for
sooth. The mechanics daughter, educated on
her fathers earnings 10 be fine lady, encour-
ages the attentions of sci OF fops and dang
lers, who drive honest men away from her in
disgust, and she becomes the victim of some
sorry sharper or shallow fool Now this is
all wrong-deplorably, wrelchedly wrong
Girls should know that men superior to them
selves, lin education and position, do moi al
ways associate with them for good. Men
should know that by marrying girls educated
in habits Of life above their fortunes, they are
not likely to have good wives. A little sound
sense will enable any man to see that it is bet
ter 10 have a..wife grateful for more than she
expected than grumbing at less. It is de-
lightful going up the hill of fortune; but hor-
rible, jolting, aggravating work TO come down.

{ NOBLE SENTIMENTAL friend Of ours CAV
vent to an idea few days since, which we
think deserves to be written in letters Of gold
on pictures Of silver. His son was about en-

ter giving him some paternal advice as TO what
should be his rule of conduct, he concluded by
saying" Be just, honest and honorable in all
your dealings, and if the Great Ruler Of man
kind should see fit to visit you with adversely,
by following this advice, you will have what
no man can deprive you of-a treasury OF con

IHE POWER OF A Mo HEN . LOF T.,
Infinite wisdom and goodness has Inn
| planted in the mothers bosom a mothers
love, and gave herslrength TO endure great
tolls and sufferings in times oi trouble, to
benefit and bless her children, as the fol
lowing historical anecdote will show:
"Among the lofty deeds and daring heights,
which stamped the early years OF our coun-
try as its heroic age, well remember read
ing thrilling incident that occurred in the
State OF ofVermont--an incident which have
often called to mind, as an admirable Illus
traton of the gigantic power OF mothers
love, when summond to meet terrible emer-
gency. A family, consisting OF the parents
and ii children, whose place OF residence
was a distaut outpost, were one day SUR
prised by the fierce war woop OF party
Of Indians; and ere escape could be effected.
the murderous tomahawk was brandished
over the heads of the defenceless household
and cruelty bathed in the blood OF the father
The children were then secured as captives,
and the victorious band were soon on their
way to their forest homes, leaving the af-
ficted mother behind, as not worth the
trouble OF taking But her affections were
too closely twined around all that was dear
to her to suffer them to be thus snapped in
moment; and tho somewhat advanced
in years, she determined to rescue her chill
dren from the cruel death awaiting them, or
share herself their tortures and their death.
She followed the Indian trails as they
disappeared in the woods: and when at
length they encamped on the banks of a
river, she breasted its troubled waves and
standing before her enemies, begged that
one little child might be spared to her. -
The Indians gave it 10 her in derision, for
the sake of Witnessing her struggles III con-
veying the burden over the wide and rap
id stream. .Joyfully the mother took, the
recovered child, and bu1eted the waves,
till her precious burden was safely placed
on the opposite shore. But the yearnings
Of her mothers heart was not thus easily
to be satisfied. Again she crossed the
stream, and again sued for little one
and for the same reason her prayer was
granted. And thus this heroic mother strug.
giles and buffetted with the waves, time
after time, till she had borne away the last
Of her precious charge, and placed him safe
on the opposite shore" 5If
And what will not mothers love ac-

REPUTATIoN.--Dea as life should be the
good name and fame Of every true Son of
Temperance; and not less dear the reputa-
tion of the Order. In assuming before the
public the title, Sons Of Temperance, we
take high ground; and in giving and receiv-
ing the appellation, brother we virtually
declare TO the world and to each other, that
we are united in principle and in motive to
carry on, energetically and uncompromis-
ingly, the glorious temperance reform. II
our institution IS not, as temperance
organization, superior to all previous as
sociations, it is no value. Thus far, we are
proud to say, the obligations to 'preserve,
unsullied, the reputation tine Sons Of Tenn
perance has been, very generally, COM
mendably maintained Whenever our Or
der is assailed by ignorace, envy, ill-will,
or prejudice, we point to its fruits We
say its members are every where the most
active, working, doing temperance men; and
whatever may be alleged against us, this is
not denied by any one. Let us then look
well to character, as individuals, as MEM
bers of families as part of society, as
brethren, and especially as temperance men,
So long as "no stain or shadow" rests upon
the fair name ofour institution, so long will
its course be onward, and its principles and
influence more and more extended and bene-
fcent. Jts #.t.}, E6
