,ING.-There re many kinds of scolds,

\ ScoLpINo.-There re many kinds of scolds
as well as varieties Of scolding. Some forms
Of the disease are indeed worse than others,
and some patens' who labor under it less
tolerab'e than others. Ba, all forms Of the
disease are really intolerabIe, and render those
who arc afflicted intolerable too, for the dis.
eases sake.
Some scold outright, Their fits of peevsh-
ness are like the desc 'atng storm or tonado
that sweeps over us, and is then gone-leav-
ing calm behind, which we even seem to en-
joy with greater zest from the contrast. The
wise mariner, however, will prefer the stead y
good weather to the alienation of storm and
calm.
Some scold internally. Perhaps they nevre
utter a word which could be called dow nrigh,
scodng and yet their eyes and countenan'
ces and actions tell the story. There are two
sorts of these internal scolds. One sort always
exhibit the outward signs of an internal and
spiritual misery-the depressed and wrinked
brow, the depressed angle Of the mouth, and
the peculiar turn Of the sides of the nose,
which indicate, that if the features have not
actually grown into scoldng state, they are
in great danger oft.
But there is another sort in whom the dis
order has seasons OF remission. Their ccun
tenances, though seriously injured, are not ys,
. rmanently contracted There is vt space
for repentance and amendment of life. J hese
dmight be denomnated intermittent scods.
There are also periodical scolds. Some o
these always scold in the thorning and as the
sun advances towards the meridian, gradually
become cheerful. Others begin their song to.
wards evening, and are most ellecsualy cured
by darkness ani Sleep Some scold at par
lcular seasons; especially in the spring. OH
ers stll, it is said-but will not vouch Tor
the truth of this--scold most at particular Pc
riods of the moon.
There are alec many sorts Of scods which
cannot be so easily classed. Some habitually
sccld when they want new dress, Others
scold still worse after they get ii, because it is
faulty Some scold because their scoldirg pro-
duces no effect, as it is said the wife of Soc
ratese sometimes did. Some, in tire las,
place, scold because they do not know any bet
ter. They were trained to scod at times at
at the servants, and would no more think of
getting along wholly without scoldlng than
without eating.
l counsel the husband who has married a
scold or would do so, if this were the place TO
counsel husbands-nott to resort at once 10 the
law of divorce for relief from his unhappy sit
nation; but, if he finds his wfe's case feme-
diless, TO bear it as well as he can, as a just
punishment on him for want OF mole fores; gk,
AND If his wife should fret herself to death
early-for all fre,lng and scoldlng shor,ens
life more OF less s-and second should be re-
solved on, ! counsel him to take little pains
TO revent that which he would afterwards
give " a thousand worlds" if he had them, to
cure.-Dr. AhoH.

II Perhaps some may think the remarks
which we are about making rather egolis,ical,
but we shall say what we have to, and risk
the lmputaton. We have frequently heard
within few days, that the leading articles
which have appeared IN this paper during the
last two weeks, have been written by cer-
gyman Of this town,-and then, again, we
have heard them attributed to several other
gentlemen. We have only TO say that these
articles were ri'ten by the editor Of this pa
per, and that every editorial article that has ap.
peared in the Ne,os since we assumed is editor
ial charge, on the 4th Of September last, has
been written by the editor, v ith two or three
exceptions, and those were short articles rela
tive to subjects mostly of private nature, in
which the writers were particularly interested.
We have no assistance in the management of
the paper, neither do we wish any, while we
are blessed with health. AS to the merits of
the paper, we say nothing; the public must
Judge of that.

II Go-Th.ee OF four c,lored persons who were
| probably pushed on to their small business by
sone Of the hot-headed aboli'ionisis in PIoyi-
dencc or Boston, have induced Mr. Clay S body
\ servant, Levi, to run away from him he dis
appeared on Saturday night, and is supposed
TO have gone TO Boston. Charles, slave,
who had long been in this capacity, was lib
Grated some two years ago by Mr.. Clay, and
Levi begged that he might be placed in that
situation which favor Nj. Clay cheerlully
granted. His duties were simply TO attend to
the personal wants Of his master, such as TO
PREF are his room at night bling him wa ter IN
the morning, drive him in his daily rides, &C.,
all of which were very light, and nothing in
compari~on to the daily labor of every working
man at the North Two years ago when Mr..
Clay made his tour TO the North he tod the
boy that as soon as he reached the free States,
certain persons would tell him that he was
free by law, and asked him wha, he should
say. The boy instantly replied tina, he should
tell them that he was free, and that would end
the matter; and he has long been free, to all
in'ents and purposes, for his duty has been
very light, his wardrobe as good as his mas
ter's, and he never was refused a single cent
by Mr.. Clay. He has always been conten,ed
md happy, and never manifested the slghles,
disposition TO leave his home. He has prob
ably been coaxed off, rs an oflicious colored
man from Providence " h0 claims Ia he Lead
ing aboltionist, has been about here for sever
al days past, and has been seen a great deal
with this hoy they have filled his head with
ridiculous notions, and persuaded him to run
away from a good home aud a kind master,
which he will no doubt regret. 1t is an al
noyance TO Mr.. Clay, ne he viii be compelled
to hire a servant 10 attend hin home, aud il
will take them some days to become acquant-
ed with each others habits aside from this,
Mr.. Clay has no feeling the subject. u he
knew that tho boy had been scdaesd contrary
to his own incnatlons, and desired To return
he would feel il his duty to send lac him but
il he has voluntarily gone, he has no desire to
recover him. Ofcourse, Mr. Clay vel knew
when he left home that, by Law, the boy
would be free when he came into the Northern
States; lie brough, him rs servant and not
as slave the foolish follow probably regIeis
his conduct before this. Al all events, II ~
