Sin SIiaT Gugsri a{.ip Of Great
Men.

If, my young friend, you desire to
become the husband of good wife, do
n ct ."stoop TO couQuer' the madens.
Rather be burned by the SLOW fire OF
love concealed, than Cringe before
fellow creature. Never latter. That
you declare yourself "A woman's lover IS
a proof that YOU believe her to be wor-
thy Of esteem. 1t is both useless aud
wong to talk to woman OF her virtues
i use the word IN its largest accepta-
ton, useless because she knows them all,
and if she does not such ignorance is
bliss; wrong, because our good qualities
are attended by destroying devil;
which if you speak ofthem, alSears and
kills them, and takes the place which
they occupied. In our times most wo-
men when in love are actresses; they
feign GOODNESS which they do not feel,
and often say what they do not mean.
In the days of the patrarchs woman's
conduct was the child of her heart.
When, foc example, the father of Re-
becca asked her if she would go with
the servant of Isaac. she Immediately
replied; 81 will 60" Had she been a
daughter off the 10Th century, she would
| believe, have answered in this manner
ooh, pshaw go with him! Why,
Mr.. Isaac must be sick! Go with HIM!
OF course, WON'T" and theAshe would
have gone with him.
I.-wILLIAM THE CoNQuEEoR.
William, surnamed the Conqueror of
England, loved Matilda, the beautiful |
daughter of the Earl of Flanders, a
wealthy, potent, and polite prince. As
statesman he was DESTROYS for league
with the father; as man he yearned for
union with the daughter.-She was
comely and learned, va mirror OF pru-
dence and perfection Of virtue" She
was sought in marriage by the greatest
sovereigns in Europe. William was a
handsome man. an able legislator, and
warrior Of renown. But his addresses
were c6ldly received, for Matilda was
enamored of young Angio-Sayon no.
hleman, who treated her as she treated
William. For seven years did he serve
an apprenticeship to Cupid; at the eX-
piration Of which, says Agnes Strickland
he, in 1047, waylaid Matilda in the
sire cts Of Bruges, as she was returning
from mass, seized her, rolled her in the
dirt, spoiled her rich array, and not con-
tent with these outrages, struck her re-
peatedly, and the rode off in full speed

TOBACCO CRop IN kENTUcKY.-The
Russelville Herald of the 9th says:
"From our own observation, and flom
information received from reliable gen.
tlemen who are we'll posted up in the
premises, we feel warranted in saying
that there vii. not be half a crop of To-
bacco raised the present season IN some
of the neighboring counties; and We
think the same might be truthiully said
of every county in the State. We warn
our farmers not be be deceived by the
statement Of anonymous correspondents
of the city papers.
The same paper is informed by an
intelligent gentleman from Caldwell
county, that owing to the late drought,
there is some doubt about the counties
in the lower part Of our State raising
sufficient corn the piesent year for home
consumption.

For The Cecil Wing.
The Maine Law in Maryland.

The time has come when the people Of Mary
land, should turn their attention most seriously
to this subject. The traffic in strong drink will
90 on, and all the evil consequences that flow
from it, will be continued while it is under the
sanction of law. There is no use in abusing
the rum seller, while the people at large, (who
are the law-making power,) legaIzc the traffic.
Prevention is belleNthan cure. Do away the
license law, and there will be no need Of build
ing expensive aims houses and jails, and vastly
more inpoI liant than the saving ofrXpense. will
be the 50 wing from pain and degradation, from
crime, insanity and punishment. The evils
from strong drink are so general, that every
man secs and acknowledges them, and he is a
lucky man who has not felt them in his own
person, or some member OF his family. Ever
since the Reformation the christian world has
exclaimed against the wickedncSs OF granting
ialuigcaccg to commit crime, yet we sanction by
law the granting OF license, (upon the payment
OF a sum OF money! to carry on Il traffic that
produces disease and poverty; that promotes
idleness and characterization; that prompts to
the commission Of crime; and that has no re-
deeming qualities whatever.
Our people seem very tenacious of their
rights upon Other subjects, and,when taxes arc
levied upon them they inquire into the why and
wheittOre; but they do not seem to have Sul-
tcicnlly pondercd on the large amount Of money
that has bren'lrvied on the m Tor the support oil
