A wise man win never rust out. As long

The Marriage Alter.

Judge Charlton, in recent eloquent adj

citation, at Augusta, Ga, thus sketches mar
riage scene:

bright scene of beautiful life. 1t is the mar

freshness of youth and surprising beauty,

that there is no happiness upon earth. See
the trusting, the heroic devotion, which COM
pels her to leave country and parents for a
comparative stranger. She has launched her
frail bark upon wide and stormy sea; she
has handed over her happiness and doom for
this world to another's keeping but she has
done it feariessly, for love whispers to her that
her chosen guardian and protector bears
manly and noble heart. Oh, woe to him that
deceives her! Oh, woe to him that forgets his
oath and manhood"

Captured Slaves.

We clip the following from the Washington
correspondence OF the Pittsburgh Gazette
That captured slave is rather dangerous
property appears very probable, and we pre-
sumo that small proportion of those who es-
cape are ever sought after:
"But has it ever occurred to your readers
and to ravenous Union men of the Northern
States, that the South, per Sc, does not want
the law executed, and knows it cannot be?-
That, am thoroughly persuaded, is the fact.
A friend who is almost South Carolinian,
from his constant intercourse with the people
of that State, :ells me that the people of Col
cocks district have formerly resolved that if
that gentleman's servants elope again, they
shall not return to live among them. The rea-
sons are obvious. Mr.. Colcock's servants are
of light hue. They escaped last summer,
and though ultimately recaptured and taken
back from Washington to South Carolina, they
performed feats, in the attempt to gain their
freedom, which, had they been quite white,
would have been called gallant and heroic
1t is not desirable to have such men at large
on southern plantations.
"And they are specimens ofthe class of men
that escape into the free states. And fortu-
nate for their masters, and their fellow slaves,
and themselves, is it, that they do escape, for
they belong to that order who will neither be
slaves themselves, nor allow their inferior
brethren to remain in the happy ignorance
and contentedness which I willing TO believe
make the mass of Southern negroes as tolera-
BILE as the condition of any other number OF
the same race"

LanRuages of Africa.

At one ofthe London meetings, Rev. John
Clarke, formerly missionary in Jamaica, and
afterwards in Fernando Po, in Africa, said that
at Fernandina there were persons belonging
to fifty different tribes, who understood Eng
lish so well as to be of help to translator Of
the Bible into their respective languages. He
thought the Word of God would have to be
translated into two hundred languages before
all the tribes of Africa will be able to read it
in their own tongue. The Mohammedans
who are spread through the length Of the con-
tinent have many who can read the Koran in.
the Arabic character. If, therefore, the word
of God were translated into their tongues, and
printed in that character, many, not only of
the Hovas and the Arabs of the desert, but
also of the Foolahs. Mandingoes, and Housahs
who professed Mohammedanism, would be
able to read concerning Jesus Christ

florida Indians.

We stated some days ago says the Savan-
nah Republican, that an expedition would
leave Benton. Marion, and Hillsborough coun-
ties. Florida, in search of boy supposed to
have been stolen by the Indians. We learn
from the Ocala Argus that the expedition, con-
sisting, of about seventy men, left on the 10Th
inst, and that in addition to the recovery of
the boy. its object was to take possession of
an Indian village. The Argus adds:
'This village is situated at the head of the
Little Withlacoochee, over one hundred miles
from the Indian boundary. 1t was discovered
BY party in September last contains over
nine houses, and surrounded by extensive
corn and pea fields. One crop has been gath
cred and new one is in the ground. The
party who discovered them were too small to
attack; they supposed the village to contain
forty or fifty souls. There is no doubt that
these Indians are the same who either muir
dered or carried off the boy, as at the time he
was missed they were trailed to the vicinity of
their present abode. We anxiously await the
result of this movement"

COnventionaIity of Female Life.

Prejudice, and thousand of the evils that
aff1ct society, have their rise in the morbid
feelings that i'll health it engenders; and it is
evident that women, brought up to act and
think as they do at present, can have but little
chance of a sound mind in a sound body. To
share in any kind of household work, is to de-
mean herself; and she would be thought mad
to run, leap, or engage in any kind of active
game in the open fields, with the fresh, life,
soul-reviving air around her, and the birds and
lesser winged things inviting her thereto. She
may take violent exercise through a whole
evening in heated, ill-ventlated, or daughty
rooms-may be whirled round and round,
her form enfolded by a stranger, till, but for
the excitement, one would call the strength
she evinces herculean: but with children, or
creatures with children's gushing natures, to
chase each others shadows on the breezy
common, or search the sea cliff for flowers, TILL
health mantling her cheek and eye, she al
most dreams herself spirit of the scene, SO
etherially does the blood flow and she has
read the only Greek legends. and has seen, be-
fore now, many Dryad in the wood, and Ma
lad by the stream-to do this would indeed
be deemed unwomanly, imprudent not to be
thought of or tolerated. She may not even
dance upon the green sward, unless the para
phernalia of dress, music and set occasion be
there too: and then it shall be no dancing of
spirit or movement ibuta conventionality from
first to last. The brook murmurs little song
as it glides over the pebbles to the seattle
woods are alive with "sweet noise"-the waves
tell of many things, as with organlke music
they rise from the great waters; but she may
not sing-may not be heard among all these,
giving song for song No if her spirit shall
incline to such pleasures, she must wander far
away, or the atmosphere of ridiculc and dis
sympathy will drown the music she will make.
Or between the pauses of the dance, or some
inanimate conversation, before piece of rose
wood, having placed her boquet and scented
gloves thereon, she shall sing the last new
song Westminster Review.

The following is an extract from the reply
of Father Mathew to an address made to him
by citizens of St Louis previous to his de-
parture from that city:
'There is one feature peculiarly gratifying
to me, in connexion with my mission in st.
Louis-I have been delighted at the large
number of young men, filling important and
trustworthy situations in your great mercan-
tile community, who have FROM day to day
voluntarially presented themselves and heroic
ally abandoned forever the use-of intoxicating
drinks; so laudible an example is beyond all
praise, and were it permitted me to trace their
future history, would unhesitatingly assert,
that from their ranks will yet spring many of
your most useful pablic-spirited and benevo-
lent citizens. In adopting the principles of
temperance, they have secure foundation.--
May 1 fervently hope that by cultivating a
religious spirit, they will add to temperance
every other virtue, and thus erect the super
structure of that temple, which should be ded-
icated in every heart to the worship of the liv-
ing God"

company, containing ffty-fve, in pledge
never to disclose the name of any officer or
private, except as a physical or metaphysical
fact, the true history was obtained of every

partially so, at the time of their enlistment.

Gen, Ca SS-PithY,

Here is few of the remarks by Gen Cass
at Tammany Hail.
"He had said that the satisfactory settle
ment of the slavery question was owing to the
people themselves, who took care to let their
Representative in Congress know what their
opinions of the subject were. The great men
in Congress aided and assisted in procuring
that settlement Your own Senator Dickin-
son (applause,) who deserves everything, and
Mr.. Foote and that noble Henry Clay (trem-
endous applause,) and that great man, Dan
iel Webser Continued applause,) and others,
whose names are written in the hearts of the
American people, and who will go down to
posterity, written in the brightest pages OF
American history-all these aided in settling
it. (Applause.) Fellow citizens, all those
men-North, South East and West-fought
the fight but it was not they who trium-
phed, The country triumphed-everyb body
achieved victory without injuring any one,
buta victory that support the principles of
freedom, and the constitution of the country
hope forever. (Applause)

The House Of the Fugitive Slave is his
Castle.

It's understood that on inquiry of The mar
shal, Judge Spragne has intimated that the
process for the arrest of fugitive slave is in
the nature of civil process-that, in serving
it, an officer will not be justified in breaking
open the outer door of any dwelling house
that every dwelling house is the castle of its
occupant This application of familiar prin-
ciple of the common law promises to give Sc
curity to a certain extent to the unfortunate
class of fugitives claimed as slaves. 1t must
be borne in mind, that this protection is con-
fined to the dwelling house, or house where
the person sleeps, and not to his place of bu-
siness. 1t is also confined to the outer door.
If this is left open, or if the marshal is admit
ted within it, he may break open any inner
door. Boston Jour.
