THE MOSQUITO HUNT.

Not sound was he ard, but horrible hum,
As around our chamber hurried,
In search Of the in whose trumpet and drum
Our deleciabls slum bers had worried.
We sought for it darkly a, the dead OF the night,
Our coverd carefully turning,
BY the struggling moonbeam's misty light,

NJ AK IsfAGE.

Dr.. Forbes Winslow, speaking Of mar
riage, says:
Nothing delights me more than 10 enter
the neat little tenement of the young cou-
pie, who within perhaps two or three
years,without any resources but their own
knowledge and industry, have joined heart
and hand, and engaged to share together,
the responsibilities, duties, interests, trials,
and pleasures Of lite. The industrious wife
is cheerfulIy employing her own hands
in some domestic duties, putting her house
in order, or mending her husbands clothes,
or preparing the dinner, while, perhaps
the little darling sits praltling on the floor,
or lies sleeping in the cradle, and every
thing seems preparing TO welcome the hap.
piest Of husbands, and the best Of fathers
when he shall come home from his toll 10
enjoy the sweets Of paradise. This is the
true domestic pleasure. Health, content
ment, love, abundance, ,and bright prospects
are all here. But it has become a preva-
lent sentiment that man must acquire his
fortune before he marries, that the wife
must have no sympathy or share with him
in the pursuit Of it, in which most pleas
IRE consists; and that young married peo-
pile must sci out with as large and exten-
sive establishment as is becoming those
who have been welded for twenty years.
This Is very unhappy It fills the co,nmu-
nifty with bachelors, who are waiting TO
make their fortune, endangering virtue
and prompting vice; it destroys the true
economy and design Of The domestic inssi-
tuition, and promotes inefTicfency among
6euales, who are expecting to be taken up
by fortune, and passively sustained, with
out care or concern on their part, and
thus many wife becomes, as a gentleman
once remarked, not "help mate," but a
.belp eai,"
