Wonran ntTwcntY.One:

When a young girl reaches the age Off
teen or sixteen years. she begins TO think OF
the mysterious subject of matrmony; state,
the delight of which her youthful magma
ton shadows forth in the most captivating
firm. 1t is made the topic Of light and Incl
dental discourse among her companions. and
it is REQUIRED to with increasing interest every
time it is brought upon the tapis. When
she grows little elder, she ceases t5 smat-
ter about matrimony, and thinks More intent
ly on the al-important subject. 1t engrosses
her thoughts by day, her dreams by night
and she pictures TO herself the felicity Of be-
Ing welded to the youth for whom she cher
ishes secret. but consuming flame. She
surveys herself in the mirror, and, as it gen
orally 'tells Z flatterng tale" she turns from
it with a pleasing conviction. that hen beauty
will enable her TO conquer the heart of the
most obdurate, aud that whoever may die in
a state of single Dlessedness" she is destined
to become, ere many years roll BY, happy
bride.
From the age of eighteen to twenty is athc
very witching time" of female life: During
| that period, the female heart is more suscep
tibIe to the soft and tender Influence Of love
than at any other; and we appeal to our ta
readers to say whether, more marriages
would not take place during the ticklish sea
son, than any by which i; is preceded or fol
lowed. 1t is the climax of love; and sht
who chances 10 pass it without entering into
the state of matrimony, may chance TO pas
several years Of her life ere she is caught il
the meshes of Hymer. The truth is, tina
the majority OF, women begin to be NOR
thoughtful when they arrive at the age o
20. The giddness Of the girl gives place t
the sobriety of the woman. Frivolity is sue
ceeded by reflection; and reason reigns wher
passion previously held its sway. The car
and anxieties Of life press themselves NOR
paIpably; they tend to weaken the sanguin,
antcipations OF unmingled felicity in the mar
riage state, which the mind had formed in it
youthful day dreams. In short, to use a com
mon phrase, let women after twenty, loo
before they leap.

Dry WEATHER.-Thiss section o the coun-
try, says the PerrysviAe Eagle, Is now suffer
ing under the most severe drouth that it has
ever experienced. Within few days we
have observed its eject upon vegetation more
particularly.
Corn. in many places is beginning to die,
in others it is parched and shriveed up until
the leaves will almost crumbe in the hand
The potatoe vines are dropping and dead, in
places, whilst the fruit are about the size oil
pea. Cucumber, melon, and other vines
have wilted away ana are now lying fiat or
the ground, as ifcut up from the roots. Grass
in the fields and meadows is dying out-ant
even the weeds, that usually grow so luxuri
unity, are falling ever and drying up.
How long we shall suffer thus, we know
not--the present prospect is really distress
ing.

We find the following good account posted

This custom, which has growR TO be such a
grievous burden to the craft who have heavy
loads enough to shoulder, God knows, is owing
to the eating under of some of the papers

the dignity and tone of newspapers, and 10
the supineness of others. Let the Indepen-

There is no gratutous printing; every

not pay for it, the publisher must No per-
son has any more right TO expect the printer

SONG.

BY MISS PHOEBE CAREY.
When morn, as DER the hill-tops
With her shining feet she trips.
Bushes first to meet the kisses
OF the Suns impassiohed lips:
Often, gazing on her beatty
Far away from haunts of men,
I have thought of thee, and missed thee,
Hast thod ever missed me then?
When eve, with gol-en fingers
Where the Sun Has gone to rest,
SITS a hedge of crimson roses
All along the glowing west;
Thou, who lowest the quiet beauty
OF that tranquil time to see,
| have thought Of thee at even,
Hast thou ever thought Of he?
When night, the mournful empress,
Majestic and subtitle,
Wears the stars upon her forehead
That have grown not dim by time;
Oft when thought has wandered earthwar
Or been fixed on things divine,
Thou hast blended with nay visions,
Have | ever blent with thine2

Original Poetry.

To-day we give pretty little piece Of pee
try from our friend Miss Phoebe Carey
Miss Phoebe's overlooking heart and soul,
seem not to have turned toward US in poetry
these latter days. We welcome her pretty
'effusions with pleasure, and hope that mid
all the fame she is acquiring as poetess, old
friends will not be forgotten. Every person
OF literary taste must recognize the names of
Alice and Phoebe Carey, as the authoresses OF
a number oil beautiful pieces OF poetry adorn-
ing the Magazines and prominent newspa-
pers Of the country. They are now East SUI
perintending the publication Of a volume oil
their poems, which will soon be out. We
have on hand another piece Of poetryby Miss
Phoebe, which will soon be given our read

yer and Princeton PLANK Road.

Ohio River and Princeton Plank Road
Books were opened yesterday at the store
of Messrs. Hornbrook & Burts, in this city,
for the subscription Of stock in the Ohio river
and Princeton Plank Road. 1t is perhaps
unnecessary to urge upon our citizens tie
great advantages which must necessarily
arise from the completion of this road, to in
duce them to exhibit their usual liberality in
subscribing stock. We have not the slight
est doubt but what the establishment of this
road will father dozen similar enterprises
in this section of country. The matter is
richly worth attention. We expect to hear
of liberal subscription by those interested in
Evansville, and believe the amount required
will be obtained without much difficulty.

For some weeks past there has been an I'm
usual amount OF travelling through this place.
The Wabash is very low, and travellers to the
upper country are cornpeiFed to take other
routes. This proves that Evansville is a
point of great and increasing Importance in
its relations TO the Wabash country; and
when our Railroad is completed, the business
done there, and the travelling through Prince
ton will be immense. We hope that ''good
