An Alabama Legislator.

A correspondent Of the Montgomery

dote of Fat George, the member from
Henry connected with his first visI

George to 60 with him 20 Mobile, where
the member from Henry for the frs,
time saw sights calculated to excite
emotions Of wonder in the unsophisti
Gated mind:
They stopped at the 'Waverley,' and
on the day after their arrivil, the colo
mel inquired as to the state of Georges
general ealth,and especial Y as to how
he had rested the previous night.
"ToIabIe, Bob, leavin' out chunk
of scare got last night" replied
George.
"As how?" asked Bob.
"Why, you'll take notice. said
George, ',he room the barkccper allot-
ted for me to have, took particular
notice Of it, brown door with light
streak here and thar, and brass lock

him TO leave or Id kick him down stairs,
and didn't want to do that, for | was a

once set in motion, never stops till the

MARRIED COMPARED WITH SINGLE LIFE
l. Marriage is sch DOL and exercise o
virtue; and though marriage hath cares
yet the single life hath desires which
are more troublesome, and more dan
gerous, and often end in sin; while the
cares are but instances Of duty and
exercises of piety; and, therefore, il
single life hath more privacy of devo-
ton, yet marriage hath more necessi.
ties and more variety Of it, and is an
exercise of more sraces.
Marriage is the proper science of pi-
ETY. and patience, of the duty ofparents
and the charity OF relations: here kind
ness is spread abroad, and love is uni.
ted and made firm as centre; marriage
is the nursery of heaven. The virgin
sends prayers to God, but she carries
but one soul TO him; but the state of
marriage fills up the numbers Of the
elect, and hath in it the labor of love,
and the delicacies of friendship, and
blessings Of society, and the union Of
hands and hearts.
1t hath in it less of beauty, but more
of safety, than the single life; i, hath
more care, but less danger; IL is more
merry and more sad; is fuller Of joys;
it lies under more burdens, but is sup
ported by all the strengths of love and
charity, and those burdens are de-
Iightful.
Marriage is the mother of the world,
and preserves kingdoms, and fills cities.
and churches, and heaven itself. Ce-
libacy, like the fly in the heart Of an
apple, dwells in perpetual sweetness,
but sits alone, and is confined and dies
in perpetual sIneuarity; but marriage.
like the useful bee, builds a house and
gathers sweetness from every flower,
and labors and unItes into republics.
and sends out colonies, and feeds the
world with deicacics, and obeys their
king, and keeps order, and exercises
many virtues, and promotes the inter-
est Of mankind, and is that slate OF
good things of which God halh desig
mated the present constitution OF the
world. -, Bihop Tnyior.
