had found in his own home But the poison Of
false philosophy, that puts bitter for sweet, and
sweet for bitter, had found its way to his heart
and now he began to feel that mans independence
ought not to be tied to the drudgery of domestic
life, and man of phiIanthaopC feelings should
love all the world alike In the stronghold oil
the affections, this mischief began to work, and
bitter were its fruits. Home was no longer his
paradise. Other haunts became familiar; late
hours abroad were followed by restless nights,
and irksome days at home. Mays smile was
less warm, and her cheek grew pale as his cold
ness chilled her heart, and the work of misery
once begun, made rapid and fearful progress
The restraints of faithfnness to one whom he
had pledged his soul were gradually relaxed dis
sipltion followed, and then the train of bankrupt
cy aud poverty and woe, rushed on him IN a
storm.
Yet young and lovely, the wife and mother
Welded to her fate, but not without a struggle.
Between the ruin that threatened him, and the
present which seemed but step from ruin, she
sought to interpose hev own hopes and happ-
ness, the memory of early days, the promises of
youth, the babe she had borne him, and the pros
pect of bliss on earth and on high, all now TO
be blasted by the wretched career on which he
had entered.
1t was all in vain; Mary, the wreck of love-
ness, has gone back to her fathers house and
there has fund home and hearts that love and
shelter her her husband or he who once loved
TO call himself her husband, has linked himself
to the new community men and women, whose
philosophy has seduccd him to his ruin.
Alas, for the peace aud purity that once shed
their halIowed radiance on the home Of my ear-
Iy friend. Its joys w'thered before the blghtlng
power Of false teachers, whose counsels neyer
Iightcned one load of sorrow on human heart,
but has burdened and crushed many that other
wise would have known of wretcbedness only by

EXtravaGant Language.

Nearly akin to these offences against good
grammar is another untasteful practice, into
which you are probably more in danger of fall
ing, and which is crying sin among Young la
dies,-I mean the use of extravagant forms of
speech, saying splendid for pretty magnificent
for handsome, hOrrid for bad, horrible for un-
pleasant, immense for large, thousands, or myri-
ads, for any number more than toOO. Were to
write down, for one day, the conversation of
some young ladies of my acquaintance, and then
to interpret it literally it would imply that with
IN the compass of twelve or fourteen hours, they
had met with more marvellous adventures and
hair-breath escapes, had passed through more
distressing experiences, had seen more imposing
spectacles, had endured more fright, and had en-

THE TENTH LEGION.

| The failure of the citizens of the Counties of
Rockingham and Shenandoah, to furnish single
Company to fight the battles of the President to
whose election they contributed so many votes,
has subjected them to an incessant food of sar-
easm and ridicule which pours in upon them
from every quarter of the Union. Some,
even Of the Locofoco editors have been unable to
resist the strong temptation to have joke at the
expense Of their phlegmatic co-laborers in the Lo-
vineyard, we are suddenly reminded, that preci-
Gus few Of the grapes dist ributed in that
quarter. 1t is a remarkable fact that except a
fat Job thrown in the way Of our old friends ofthe
Register, very small portion of the spoils has fall
len to the share ofthe hard working democracy Of
the Tenth Legion. This fact proves conelusiyely
that they are no mercenaries their labours in be-
half Of radcalism are "labours Of love-" and how
eyre we may deplore their nfatuation, they GER
tainly deserve credit for their sincerity,
Nor are they, as body men, destitute fper-
sonal courage. Let their homes be threatened
with invasion, or let the country be engaged in
a war in which their sympathies are enlisted, and
our word for it, Old Rockingham will send forth
as many, aye and as brave sons to bleed and die
in the cause of the country as any other County
from the Aroostook TO the Neuces. We say
their swpaihies, for whilst they have decided
aversion to changing their poltics-and are,
most of them, as firmly persuaded that the pre-
sent Locofoco party, is the old Democratic party
of Jefferson and Madison, as that manure fertil-
ICES their sol, they have no heart for the an
nexation schemes Of the progress men. In fact,
if the proposition to annex Mexico by force of
arms to this country, had been suggested to them
as a Wing measure, nothing could exceed the
unaffected horror with which they would have re-
garded it. As it is, they do not give their con-
sciences6ir play. They plough their fields, and
sow their seedstriving to forget that there such
thing as Mexican War, and that they are part
ly responsible for the blood and tears it has caus
ed to flow.
We insist upon it, for we know the people,
that when they have cause worth fighting for,
there is to use cant phrase, mo back out
in old Rockingham"

BAD HABITS.

1t may be that we are somewhat misled by a
natural Partially for our town, but we neverthe-
less do think, that the stranger who after few
weeks sojoum amongst us, does not entertain a
decidedly favorable opinion of Martinsburg, is to
say the very least, hard to please.
But whilst there is undoubtedly much that is
calculated TO make favorable impression upon
visiters, there are it must be confessed, few
things that may be very properly viewed in the
light of DRAWBACKS.
For instance, it is not erery lady who likes TO
have her features rgdy scrutinized by the ioun-
gers who crowd our Church doors. Some of the
fair have been known to go so far as to character
ize these evidences of public regard downright
impeItiaence.
1t not unfrequently happens, that gentleman
Of limited means, but who possesses laudable
ambition to keep up respectable appearance, is
subjected to a sore conflict between the sense of
duty which impels him to kneel before his maker,
and his reluctance to bring the knees of his Sun
day inexpressabes in contact with the Juice Of
the weed, :" that literally mandates the floor of the
Sanctuary. We will not say that no gentleman
would squirt tobacco juice over the floor Of a
Church, for are sorry to know that men who
in other respects, maintain the character Of gem
tlemen, are sometimes guilty of this disgusting in
decorum. But we do sag that the practice is as
ungentlemanly, as it is disrespectfu to the wor-
Shipping congregation, and to the Deity, whose
temple is thus profaned.
We have known ''rising young men" to be ex-
ceedingly flatered, at hearing their names yelled
forth from dozen threats at public meeting,
but such distinguished marks of popula atten-
ton, are decidedly out of place at the door of a
Church, particularly if the recipient of their hon
ors is quiet citizen with lady on his arm.
! We allude to these things in no spirit of fault
finding. We know that the indiScretiOnS complain
ed of by our orderly citizens are not peculiar to
Martinsburg. Every community is subjected in
a greater or less degree to such annoyances. In
most nstancest they theresult rather ofthought-
lessness than depravity, and We are therefore the
more inclined to hope that little reflection upon
the subject will incline the perpetrators of the
acts complained Of, to discontinue them.

ArrLIcr1NG OCCURRENCE.

On Sunday morning last, one of the neigh
bors was attracted by the crying of child IN
the house occupied by Mrs. Timothy b. Thorn
as, at Mount Savage. On approaching the
house, it was found to be closed; assistance
was Immediately summoned and the door bro
ken open. On entering, horrid spectacle
presented ITSELF Mrs. Thomas was dead in
her bed, the body in partial state of decom'
position, and poor little infant Of five weeks
lying at the breast, endeavoring TO extract
nomishment from the dried up fountains OF It's
mothers corpse; while another child, aged
bout Is months, was sitting on the floor, weep
ing from hunger and exhaustion.
An inquest was held ovei the body by Chas
w. Fenton, Justice of the Peace. From
the evidence of the witnesses, and the opinion
of DIR. Mosher, the physician at Mount Savage
we learn that Mrs. Thomas had probably beer
dead from Friday night, about the time she re-
tired to rest. Her death was occasioned eithel
by appoplexy or sutiusion OF water on the
brain. Her husband, Timothy b. Thomas
was for some time miner in the service OF the
Mount Savage Company, and, upon the break
ing up of the works, went to the west, proba-
bly, to Ohio, TO seek employment. He left his
wife after short visit some time during thu
past week. We are happy to hear that tht
poor lille children have fallen into good hands
and are doing well. There were no signs o
destitution about the house occupied by Mrs
Thomas.-C Cumberland Ciriiiaa,

TAYLOR ELECTORS.

The following admirable suggestion, says the
Louisville Journal, we find in the last number oil
the Shelby News. We hope they will meet
with general favor and be acted on at once:
TO THE FRIENDS OF GEN. TAYLOR.
1t is deemed advisable by some with whom we
have conversed that the friends of Gen. Taylor
proceed to make some steps towards bringing for
ward Taylor Electors. We have suggested the
following mode THAT in each Congressional
District mass meeting be held to appoint the
Electors of that District, and that mass meeting
be held in some central and accessible place on
the 22d day of February next, TO appoint the E.
lectors of the State at large. This mode will at
once rid the people of Conventions and caucuses.
What say Gen. Taylor's friends.

SURGICAL oPrRArroN.

About two weeks since very delicate sur

upon little girl, about Eve years old, daugh-

CzAs. MAGILL, Of Hagerstown. Nd, assisted
by Drs. HuSrER and HAMIIL Of this County
The operation resulted from the chid's getting

whilst she had the grain in her mouth. Ia
hopes that il might be dislodged withou, re-
sorting to surgical aid, il was permitted TO re-
main in her windpipe for three days; but find
ing that il was obstinate and immoveabe, the
services of DR.. Msgill were obtained, who op.

two inches long in her neck, and also in hel
windpipe, from which be extracted the grain,
and the child is now doing quite well

mark, that owing 10 the dexierity with which
