is sure of genuine happiness. What! are
the words of the justice, of the minister,
thus potente What! is the mere association
of man and woman thus fraught with such
blissful consequences o.! no,the reverse;
marriage is not the gift of a magistrate, nor
of housekeeping; that union which is ce ce-
mented by affection is spiritual, not ocular,
not purchasable, but interior; it is union OF
thought, of feeling, and of action which
makes One of two, which SO perfectly fur.
nishes the means for the hearts action, and
so engrosses its powers as to make it a living,
perpetual source of pure motives, of sweet
enioyments, and continual contentment.
This then, is the Union for which you
should seek, for which you should live, and
then all other wants will be added thereto.
Old Eden was nothing more than such mar
riage, with all its comforts, pleasures, joys,
flowers, sunny influences, genial zephyrs,
soft dews, intelligent trees, and heavenly
voices. When marriage is realized, then
paradise will return; when you have obtain
ed it, then life will be reality, virtue cer-
ty, love possession, and happiness as tan
sible as the sun at noon.day. When the
world tell you its pursuit is but the pursuit
of phantom, that marriage is a chance
game, worse than an ignis fatus, simply re-
ply, to such babes in happiness, that they do
not know what they say, that they speak
without knowledge; and that it is reality,
and may be the possession Of all, if they
choose.

OR THE TAR RIVER EMIGRANT.
In the spring of IS, Edward SIS,
or as he was called, Ned, started from the
place he was raised at in the turpentine
region of the old North State, with com.
pany Of movers, who were making their way
for the western district of Tennessee, or as
it was called by the denizens of the piny-
woods the Forked Dear country.
Ned was poor boy, the youngest of a
large family, whose father Seth, sr., and
Germima had died when he was quite a
child, and had been raised Tor had rather
grown up according to the laws Of nature)
in the house Of an old grandmother, who
lived in little old smoky cabin about
twelve miles from Tarboro' town he had
never been to school, nor to the court
house but once to see general muster; had
heard of the Revolutionary War, and of
General Washington, but had no distinct
idea Of what the first meant, or whether the
General was yet President, or what was the
meaning of President He had heard a
good deal about witches, jack lanterns,
ghosts, haunted houses, &c. With this
stock Of worldly knowledge, at the age of
Is, he started out with squire Massey, as
one of his family, and drove one of those
little carts, which distinguished themselves
from that interesting section old North
Carolinato seek his fortune " oyer the hills
and far away"
Not more than a week after the movers
had set out, an incident occurred to Ned,
which | am now about to relate, and which
came near proving fatal to the young man
at the very threshold of manhood, and the
relation Of which, in his own earnest and
peculiar style, has in after days cost many
a suspender and waistband button to the
fortunate few who have heard the story
from his own mouth. And for the benefit of
those who never knew Ned, or heard him
tell the adventure, l will try and relate it in
his own words:

YOUNG LADIES.

The whole is always equal to all its parts,
embraces all the parts, and when you are
told to seek, first, marriage, and then all
things will be added thereto, you will see
that the axiom is true in physical things.
The "kingdom of heaven" is nowhere on
earth embodied half so perfectly, so beauti.
fully and so enticingly as by coupled hearts.
The type of earthly concord, agreement and
happiness is that which is realized by true
wife and husband. There is their home and
whatever we see Of them in the world, man.
Tested outside of that divine relation, is but
faint reflection Of the rays Of this fountain
of light and warmth. The test in all coun.
tries, in all times, and in all hearts, of the
:. amount and quality of JOY, yea and of reli-
cion, is the married life that heads Of fami-
lies live.
If the family circle is radiant with smiles,
kindness, attentions, courtesies, concords,
agreements, appreciations, solctudes, ten
der words, afectionate acts, and warm holy
attachments, you may know that God
dwelIs there, and that plenty and peace are
scattered profusely in the paths of such.
Lifeis burden without such union. All
else may be had, and without this, the heart
is single, is restless, yes, every other posses
sion but gives keenness to the pang which
spontaneously rises from the absence of be.
slowed and received affection. Talent then
but paints its loss, health but gives strength
to,lament, and riches but augment unllappi-
ness, by amplifyng your means for protec
ton and generosity, in the absence of their
legitimate object.
Hthe world or the young lady would like
to know what will create and perpetuate in.
dividual virtue, we answer, that Affection,
sincere, deep, Internal and abiding, for One,
will do.it. This is the natural palladium Of
virtue, OF. innocence, of purity. The mar
