Advice to Young Ladies.

1he edltress Of the Literary Gazette
Mrs. Lydia Jane Pearson, in an article
addressed to young ladies, upon the sub
Ject OF marriage, discourses as follows:
do not, as you value life and its com
forts, marry man who is naturally cruel
II he will wantonly torture a poor dumt
dog, cat, or even a snake, fly from him
as you would from cholera. We would
sooner see our daughter dying ofcholera
than married to cruel hearted man. II
his nature delights in torture, he will
not spare his wife, or his helpless chill.
dren. When we see man practising
cruelty on any poor helpless creature, or
a fractions horse, numerically, we write
over against his name, devii, and shun
him accordingly.
We once knew man. ave gentleman
who during a ride for pleasure, became
so Economically enraged at his horse
which refused to go, that he spranp
from his carriage, drew his knife, and cut
out an eye of the poor brute. The lady
who accompanied him tainted, suffered
a long nervous illness, and will never re
cover from the, horror the outrage gave
her. And we knew the young lady who
knowing this OF him, was fool hardy
enough to become his wife. And we
know how he tortured her; how he out,
ragged all feelings how he delighted to
destroy whatever she priced, or took
pleasure in; how in his fits of passion he
broke up het furniture, seized her BY the
shoulders, and shook her till she could
not crawl to bed how he beat her; how
he kept her poor babe black and blue
with blows and pinches, until her parents
took her home, and sheltered her from
his cruelty.
If you have sutton whom you feel
inclined to favor, look narrowly into the
temper and disposition Of the man.
Love may soften it for while, or it may
induce him to restrain or disguise it, but
be assured, the natural temper will re-
main, and the time will come, when your
presence will be no restraint upon him.
We have heard wives complain Il was
so deceived in my husband: men are so
deceilful,' &c But we believe, in nine
cases out Of ten, these women deceived
themselves. They suffered the romance Of
their own foolish heart TO adorn their fancy
attributed 10 a perfect manly character, and
10 draw veil over all his vices and defects
which. If he did not conceal them, greatly
softened or disguise their features.
Men are not perfect-women are moi
perfect. IN all cases, there must exist
10 bear and forhear, bnt IL does
not therefore follow that you should marry
. bad nan, Knowing him to be bad man.
n you DO 50, you deserve chaslisment; but
a life long misery is terrible punishment.
4 had mans wife must either live in con.
.inual torment Of lear, apprehension, and
the bitter disappointment Of her fruilless
efforts TO please or she must become CAL
lous. cold, insensible TO pain. and conse>
quently TO pleasure. Will you take upon
yourselves either Of these terrible alterna-
lives? We hope not"

So familiar to his ear,
And the soldier lea nd upon his sword
And wiped away tear.
Beside The cottage porch
A girl was on her knees;
She held alofl a snowy scarf,
Which floated in the breeze
She brea,hed prayer for him,
A prayer he could not hear;
But he paused to bless her as he knell,
And wiped away a tear.
He turned and left the spot

Though tears were on his cheek {;

Wnlch the latter appeared In very Iudi
crous light. There was hearty laugh
among the half dozen members who were
grouped together on the floor Of the
House. Lyon was exasperated, and be-
ing a hot tempered man was guilty Of the
gross vulgarity mentioned by Major
Noah. Mr.. Griswold was a man of un-
common physical power, full of spirit
and resolution but he had great COM
mahd of himself, and restraining his fret
impulse to strike his assailant down, he
determined to await the action of the
House. There was an Investigation, and
an attempt to cxpel Lyon; but he was
under the protection of the majority, and
then, as now every thing was controlled
by party considerations, and the matter
was CLOSED over.
Mr.. Griswold awaited patiently the re-
suit Of the investigation. and on finding
the House determined to do nothing, i'm
mediately took the business into his own
hands. and finished it coolly and summa.
rily, but thoroughly. He entered the
House prepared with serviceable cud.
gel, and after the Speaker had called to
order, arose in his place and addressed
the Chair:
81 have remained quiescent, Sir. ex.
pecting to see the House vindicate its
own honor, outraged by the indignity Of.
feredd IS one ofits members. The House
refuses to do so; and it now becomes my
duty to redress the insult to the State Of
Connecticut in my own person. So far
as am concerned, Sir, should not Sc
lect this hall to chastise the vulgar inso-
lence of the member from Vermont
But an affront offered to sovereign must
be avenged as publicly as it was given"
Suiting the action to the words, he
struck Lyon twice-not with his whole
strength, for he could have Drained him
with a single blow. Lyon seized the
tongs Immediately, and as he was sup
ported by considerable number of his
friends, there was for moment some ap-
prehensions of a general fight. But the
famous Daniel Morgan sprang to the side
of Mr.. Griswold, and the great size and
strength Of the two men, evidently equal
to contest with dozen ordinary assail-
ants, overawed the democracy, and the
ARRAY terminated.-B46alo Express.

telegraphic summary of the proceedings of Con.

legislation by Congress on the subject of slavery
Nh Hafe objected and moved to lay il on the
table, which resulted yeas ?, nays 4S.
After some unimportant business, they resumed
the consideration Of Mr.. Clay's resolutions.
On motion of Mr., HengpRi, the ladies' were
admitted on the floor, and every corner of the cham
per was crowded to suffocation. The most intense
interest pervaded the assembly throughout as TO
what AIR. Clay said relative to the institution of
slavery IN the District, He contended slavery
could not be abolished here in good faith, without
the conditions named in his resolution with these
conditions the prohibition Of the slave trade in the
District which he proposed, involved concessions
oy neither section of the Union. All admitted the
right OF the States to prohibit the slave trade within
their borders and the right had been exercised by
tne southern States, Kentucky among others
surrey then' upon this point both sections might
ana ought TO take common cause. In regard 10
the reeapture OF fugitive slaves, he would 90 with

south had great cause OF complaint on this sub
jeet. he considered it the duty of Congress to
pass laws regulating this matter. After some brief
allusion to the last resolution, Mr.. Clay proceeded
with an appeal in support of the whole PROPOSE
ton, and spoke till the hour Of adjournment
HoUsE.-Numerous resolutions, ETC., were pre-.
scented. Mr.. Howard offered one nstructing the

HE MIMI
A vast, deep ocean, where all riversrolll
reliquary, where the mighty Past,
Its empire and its glory, all are cast
A eondor-strength to give unto the soul!
Its grandeur is etemal-not to fade
Till all is laid within the silent tomb,
That was of spendor on the earth display'd,
In days of glorious Greece and mighty Rome.
Where now the jaekals shelter in the shade
Of Tadmor's columns from the nOon-tde sun,
And where the olive shades the Parhenon,
Long ages past, ere Mind had there decay'd,
These places felt, sun-tinged though now they are,
That Mind was all, though all beside was there.

Poet, who sitest in place alone,
With a mysterious gaze on one bright star,
That shines the brightest in the heavens afar
Thou sttest but to list to some sweet tone
Of the wild wind upon the oceau's moan
Thou that hast built on earth an honored name
That to the future ages will be known,
Is honored more than thou hast virtuous fame,
Than all that have doubtful claim to this!
Thou heed st not man frown, or earth's acclaim,
Their follies, or the lure of doubtful bliss
But with an eagle eye, that sOars away,
Der mountains, valleys, but to hold sway
Der hearts Of kingdoms on a future day.

Vast as the ocean, spreading as its flood,
And mighty as some sweeping torrents flow.
Thou dost but spread thy wing in act to soar,
Thou dost but breathe the unering will of God.
