CHANCES OF MARRIAGE.-The following curious
statement by DR.. Granville, is taken from an Eng

of $40 women, and is derived from their answers
to the age at which they respectively married. 1t
is the first ever constructed to exhibit to females
their chances of marriage at various ages Of

Funeral Of Sufferers by the Storm. The funeral
of Mr. John Kohler, and his young wife, who per-
ished in the wreck of the John w. Minturn, took
place yesterday afternoon from the house of his
brother-in-law, Mr.. Hederick Chamber street. 1t
was attended by large number of his late ac-
quaintances and the friends of the family.
Mr.. X. was a native of New York, where he has
mother and sisters several of the latter respecta-
bly, married, and having young families. He left
the city several months ago, and particular friend
received letter from him week or two before
the late dreadful gale, stating that he was coming
home in the John w. Minturn; that he had been
married to young lady, and intended to bring his
wife home with him; at the same time intmating
to him not to tell his mother or any of his folks,
he meant to surprise them. They both persisted in
the wreck, and the surprise was truly heart-ren-
ding one, particularly to his aged mother, Of whom
he was the only He and his young bride
were yesterday laid side by side in the grave,

"On the 9TH of June, dinner was given by the
East India Company. Sir Henry Pottinger was
present, and among other things, stated that he pc

in the Emperor informs his subjects that he had
heard read to him extracts from book entitled the
Holy Scriptures, the purport of which appeared to
him to be replete with virtuous precepts, and, as
such, likely to do good and that it was book of
virtue, and with this conviction, he recommended
it to be perused by his people, and gave them per-

CONSISTENCY THOU ART A JEWEL.
In the approaching Convention to revise the
Constitution Of the State of New York, the Liber-
ty Party are anxious to the right of suffrage
to people OF color. The attempt to accomplish
this object by voting for Liberty candidates is ac-
knowledged to be utterly hopeless. But Gerrett
Smith insists upon voting for no other. Alvan
Stewart, however, seems to have lucid interval
about abolitonism, as will appear from the follow
ing extract of letter written by him upon this
subject:
"But for us to nominate candidates and elect
none, and set every body at Defiance and encourage
the old parties to roll in their old tracks and UNI

him Of his vote, during this generation, is a load
must bear If God SO will it, but will leave no
stone unturned to prevent caamitous and terrible
an event, and its sin shall not be on my head.
But it is said, that man who is not a Liberty
man has u moral inaptitude to act in the cause OF
humanity, because he is member of pro-slaye-
ry party and therefore should not receive our vote
for he can do no good thing which we can recog-
nize and ratfy while others say we cannot vote
for him a delegate in Convention, though we
know he will vote for every thing in Convention
the best Liberty man in the State would vote for
if delegate; and though we knew that, in conse-
quence Of our refusal to give him our vote he would

State and their sons, are to be trodden down vote

to this dreadful strange doctrine.
But suppose, for the want of our votes q. the
polls true pledged men for colored suffrage, could
not be elected, and with our votes would have been

is TO suffer on beneath the proud mans contumely
and the FOOLS reproach, until another half century
is come and gone. How stand we then?"
Why could not Mr. Stewart have reasoned thus
iorclbly about the annexation of Texas, subject
of inconceiyaby more consequence to the great
cause of human freedom in this nation and through
out the habitable globe, Did not Alyan Stewart
know that Birney could not be elected in the last
Presidential campaign, and did he not know that
every Wing vote cast for him increased the chance
OF electing a man who headed the whole slavery
power of the Union, in opposition to party which
comprised all the elements Of resistance which
could stand in successful array against it? Why
pursue the empty phantom Of abolitonism in aban
donment Of the impulses of common humanity
towards the sufierings Of the poor lash-marked
slaves, whose bonds, by the Texas villainy, are
made ten times stronger than ever? If Alvar

NEVER RAIL AT THE WORLD.

ny CHARLES swAtN,
Never rail at the world it is just as mako it,
We sec not the flower if we set not the seed
And ns for IN luck why its just as We take it,
The heart that's in earnest no bars can impede.
You question the Justice that governs mans breast,
And say that the sourch for tue friendship is vain
But remember, this world, though IT be not the best,
Is the next to tho bost we shall ever attain
Never rail at the world, nor attempt to exalt
That feeling which questions soccty's claim
For often poor Friendships less in the iault,
Loss chongcuhlc off, than the selfish who blame:
Thcn nc'cr by tho changes Of fate bo dcprost
Nor wear like a lctter Times sorrowlul chOinj
But believe that this world, though it be not tho best,
Is the next to the best shall ever attain!

Mr.. THURMAN said:
There have been sentiments, Mf: Chair
man, expressed on this floor during the pre-
sent session, by representatives from the
State Of Ohio, which furnish to any mem
Der from TINT State, who rises to repel them,
an ample excuse for occupying the time Of
the Committee. There have been senti-3
ments attributedto to the people Of that State,
by certain of her own representatives. in
this hall, which her other representatives,
who do not believe that such sentiments are
thus entertained, cannot, consistently with
duty, suffer to pass unnoticed. And it is
therefore, Alr. Chairman, that while l do
not assume to speak for the State, do, ns
oneof her representative, who has the right
ID speak for his immediate constituency at
least, and as one of her citizens who, as
such, may properly express his belief in

has been greatly misunderstood and most
strangely misrepresented by the gentlemen

The FARMER. "The following advice to the
farmer, (says the New-England Farmer) we extract
from apaper published more than twenty years
ago; and the advice it contains will not be out of
place at the present time"
The farmer, as well as the merchant, ought to
reckon with himself at least once year. This is
the proper time How stands the balance with
you at the end Of the harvest trust you have
had nothing to do with the banks, so we will let
them pass. Are your taxes squared up with the
collectors Are there no executions against YOU {?
Are all your aborers and honest tradesmen for the
last year paid of Are all your broken windows
repaired Is your cellar banked and pointed, so as
to secure your sauce and apples from III If so,
let US go to the barn and see whether the barn
doors, stable doors, racks and hangers, floors, &c.
are all set 10 rights for the winter. FIVE find all
these things as they should be, then happy neu
gear 70 you! But ifnot then set your boys i'm
medlately to threshing TO Smelling corn, and dress
ing hax,-stop the calls Of the collector, the visits
otthe sheriff, and the duns of your aborers and me-
chanics as quick as possible; buy glass and putty,
repair your windows, and sell to the paper-makeI
the rigs which had been used to stop your lights
secure your cellar before the frost penetrates fur
Their All this being done, go 10 the barn and do
likewise. You may now set down for the EVENING
by clean hearth, before a brisk FIRE in your snue
kitchen or parlor, crack few nuts, eat few ap
Piles, aud regale yourself and friends with glass q
pure spring water, and go to bed when you please
