Calico Market-.-Choosing "a Husband.
Love is SO necessary an ingredient in
matrimonial affairs, that we can CON
ceive of no state which is blessed with
less sunshine, than marriage from any
other motive. To be connected with
the devil is bad, bui we think that even
such partnership would be preferable 10
spending a life with u woman whose at
tachment to US is regulated by the fiuc-
tuations of the stock market Marriage
is always an inspid, vexation or ye-
ry happy condition. The fact is, when
two people Of no genius or taste for
them themselves, meet together, upon
such a settlement as has been thought
reasonable by parents and conveyan-
GERS from an exact valuation of the land
and cash of both parties, in this case
the young lady's person is no more re-
garded than the house and improvements
in purchase Of an estate; but she goes
with her fortune with her. These INA ke
up the crowd or vulgar Of the rich; and
fill up the number Of the human race,
without beneicence to those above them
and lead a despicable, indoient, and
useless life, without sense Of the laws
of kindness, good nature, mutual off,
ces, and elegant satisfaction which flows
from reason and virtue
The veXatious life arises from Il con-
junction of two people of quick taste
and discernment, put together for rea-
sons well knOwnto their friends, in which
special care is taken to avoid what they
think the chief evil poverty, and in
sure them riches. These good people
live in constant restraint before compa-
ny, and too little familiarity when alone !;
when they are within observation, they
fret at each others carriage and behav-
ior; when alone they reyile each other 5
person and conduct; in company they
are in purgatory; when together, in
hell
The happy marriage is where two
persons meet and voluntarily make
choice Of each other without principal
ly regarding or neglecting the circum-
stances, ofwealth, or beauty. These
may still love in spite of adversely or
sickness; the former we may in some
measure defend ourselves from the 9TH
er is a portion of our very make. When
you have true notion of this sort of
passion, your humor of living great will
vanish out "f your imagination, and
you will find that happiness has no more
to do with the state, then June has with
icicles, or whiskcy punch with proprie-
ty. Solitude with the person we love,
has pleasure beyond show or pomp. A
woman, therefore should consider which
of her lovers like her hest, did all her
property consist of fig leaf; ;which would
bear with her most when out Of humor
or in loose gown. and the way to this is
for her to ask herself which she values
most for his own sake and by that Judge
which gives the greater instances OF his
valuing her for her personal charms
only. The idea of marrying a man you
may love, is all CANNON. Husbands
never improve
If you have no affection for your pill
low companion on your wedding night,
you will never have Love like rock
is formed on the spontaneous principle.
When it's a day old it is as large as it
ever will be. To hope, therefore, that
the wealthy Mr.. J. will one day
appear as interesting to you as the linn
tied income, whom you dotc
on, is as idle as it is Deceptive. Choose,
therefore, him in whom your like, is not
transferable to another for if you
choose otherwise, there is no hope that
your husband will ever have what yOu
liked in his rival; but intrinsic qualities
in one man may probably purchase eve
ry thing that is adventurous in another.
In palmer terms, he whom you take for
the sake Of his fortune, attained to per-
sonal perfection. If J. is not so ac-
complishcd and agreeable as G., mar
riage to you will never make him so;
but marriage to you may make G. as
rich as j.. therefore, to make a sure
purchase, employ fortune upon certain
ties, but do not employ certainties upon
fortune.
The Farmers C,ved.-We believe in
small farms and thorough cultiva-
! ton.
We believe in large crops. which
leave the land better then they found it
We believe in going to the bottom OF
things, and therefore deep ploughing.
We believe that the best fertilizer o
the soil is the spirit of industry, enter
prize and intelligence, without which,
toll, lime, mari, plaster. bones, and green
manures will be Of little use. n. Y
