II TREATMENT OLA SUIToR.-N. p. Willis
in the Home Journal, thus discourses upon
matter of some interest
From the moment that young man as
sumes the attitude of allowed .uitor to a lady
he should be encrcled with the kind protec
ton and consderate respect which belongs tc
relative. The necessary enquiry into his
character and position should be made with
the utmost delicacy, and by those alone who
have the warrant of paternal authority. In
their manner to him, the family Of the lady
should show that they consi ider him made sa
cred by the preference of their beloved one'
and should anticipate. by courtesy, the conf
ding cordlality he is expected and trusted to
deserve. His own value should be fully and
generously allowed, and Difference to his
opinions should be shown, such as will chime
with the probable state of things in year af-
ter his marriage. Whatever be the kind Of
man daughter is likely to marry, he would
be tenfold more bound to be good husband
and kind relative, by such treatment, than
by the suspicious coldness and cautious dis
paragement we have described.

RECOMMENDATIONS.
At a season when the Providence of Con
has manifested itself in the visitation of 4 fear
ful pestilence, which is spreading its ravagoS
throughout the land, it is fitting that people,
whose reliance has ever been on HIS PRoTEc-
rIos, should humble themselves before HIS
THRONE; and while acknowledging past
ansgressions, ask a continuance of DIVINE
MrRcY.
II is, therefore, earnestly recommended that
the first Friday in August, be observed
throughout the United States as day OF Fast
ing, Humiliation, and Prayer. All business
will be suspended in the various branches Of
the public service on that day; and it is recon-.
mended to persons Of all religious dcnomina-
tions, TO abstain, rs far as practicable, from
secular occupations, and TO assemble in their
respective places Of Pubic Worship, to ac
knowledge the INFINITE GooDNEss which has
watched over our existence as a nation, and SC

the first Friday in August to be observed as :
day Of Fasting, Humiliation and Prayer to the
living God, that He will stay the hand Of the

1t is proper that the Chief of this great natiOr
should recommend this observance, aod We
presume that his advice will be followed by the

on the end of which he carries his baggage,
about the size Of your hat. He has no pro.

he rather eussos he'll find Christians enough
