USEFUL H1STs ON MATRIMoSY.-NC
woman will be likely to dispute with u:
when we assert marriage is her destiny
A man may possibly fill up some sort O
an existence without loving; but a wo-
man with nothing to love. cherish. care
for and administer to, is an anomaly in
the uniyerse-aD existence without an
object. 1t is as natural for woman tc
/ have some one to look to for advice and
assistance, as to breathe. Without il
no woman ever was or ever can be hap
py. 1t is the want of her nature, and
nothing can satisfy her heart with such
a void untitled. Now with the excep-
ton of some occasional irregularities in
the relative proportion of the sexes,
produced by circumstances, such as the
settlement.o of new countries, there is NO
reason why every man should not have
wife, and every woman a husband
and this world easily be brought about
by the exertions of common sense and
less ambition. Each sex is looking up
for something above its own sphere.
The son of an industrious and sue
cessful mechanic must be professional
man, instead of following in his fathers
footsteps; and this is folly the first =
When he looks for a wife, the neat, in
dustrious daughter of mechanic like
his father is not good enough for him;
he must make love to some fine lady,
who is an age in advance-that is, her
grandfather was a mechanic instead of
her father, very aristocratic distinc-
ton.
On the other hand, the girl who
works for her living, earning by her
honest labors, would not deign to en-
courage the addresses of a laboring
man! she would set her cap for a gentle
man, forsooth. The mechanics daugh-
ter educated on her fathers earnings to
be fine lady, encourages the attention
of set of fops, who drive honest men
away in disgust, and she becomes the
victim of sorry sharper or shallow fool.
Now this is wrong-deplorably, wretch
edly wrong.
Girls should know that men superior
to themselves in education and position
do not always associate with them for
good. Men should know that by mar
rying girls educated in the habits of life
above their fortunes they are not likely
to have good wives. A little sound
sense will enable any man to see it is
better to have wife grateful for more
than she expected, than grumbling for
less. 1t is delightful to go up the hill
of fortune; but horrible, jolting, aggra-
waiting work to come down.-HOme Com

else they may regain, they have lost,
we fear irretrievably, all confidence in
tie honor and good faith Of the S7auehoId-
ing interest. They found the security
into which they had been lulled, used
to rob them of all they had saved from
the rights they had tried to defend. 1t
is folly to say the scheme did not "origi-
nate" with the South. 1t did originate
in the knowledge that the South would
welcome and sustain it; and it is quite
as base to be tempted into a dishonest
act, as to commit it without temptation.
To pirate, at such time, and after such
a wrong, of desiring peace" of ask
ing only to be "let alone, ITO appeal to
the North to 'faccept the gage of amity
thus held ut,"-will be much more
likely to stimulate indignation than
foment good will. 1t looks like the ad
vice of highwayman to the victim he
has plundered, to ''forget and forgive"
The worst effect of this Nebraska
bill, has been the destruction of this
confidence of the North in the honor
and fair dealing of the South. 1t has
undermined and broken down that pub
lie sentiment which made possible the
compromise of these conflicting claims.
1t has planted deep-seated and indignant
distrust in the mind and heart of the
North; and years cannot remove it.
This mischief is done, whatever may
happen in Nebraska. Whether slavery
goes there or not, the slave interest has
proved itself treacherous and faithless
regardless of honor and determined
at any hazard to establish its iron su-
premacy over the Federal Government
and the Federal Union. We believe
the best men at the South appreciate
the evil that has been done, and would
gladly retrieve it. Let them restore the
Missouri Compromise, and they may
regain the confidence which its treacher-
GUS repeal SO fatally impaired. But in
default of any inclination to take such a
step, their appeals to the North for the
restoration of peace will be secuted as
the hypocritical insults of an exultant
foe.
Such a state Of facts may be de-
plored, butt cannot be denied.-N y

SPANISH MATTERs.-We are able to
state, says the New York Express, the
following items without any apprehen-
sions of mistake: .1r-1Hat E
The French Ambassador in Madrid,
since the revolution, has communicated
to his government that there are 28,-
600 French residents in that city, but
only 9 or 10 of them had presented
themselves to him during that period;
because there were 10000 foreigners
1.-THE greater part of them French
among the defenders of the barricades.
Now we may confdentially assert that
this representation is incorrect, as there
never was an insurrection more purely
national or more nationally sustained
than that of Madrid. The history of
the events which occurred on the 18th,
18th. and 18th of July last does not
present single foreign name connected
with the many important acts which
have been published. At the COM
mencement of the insurrection, Mr..
Soule, jr., set off for London, to COM
municate, as was supposed, with our
minister there.
One of the principal republican clubs
held in Madrid, under the name of
-" met at the house Of the
American minister, Mr.. Soule. We
should wish for less intermeddling by
our diplomatists with other peoples ma
tional affairs. This fact. according to
our information, may lead to meas
ure by the Spanish government which
might, perhaps, offend Mr.. Soule, but
certainly not the good sense of right
minded Americans.

HORRIBLE DEPRAvIrY.-On Saturday
night, young woman, with an infant in
her arms, applied to Mayor Voltz fol
his advice and assistance under the fol.
lowing circumstances: The applicant
stated that some four years ago, she
was married to man named Ralph
Hutchinson, and that she and her hus-
band had, until recent period, been
residing with her father and mother, at
Phenixville, where Hutchinson was
employed as a coal digger. During
their residence at this place, circum-
stances occurred to create suspicion in
Mrs. Hutchinson's mind that an i'm
proper intimacy existed between her
mother and her husband, and these
suspicious were confirmed by the guilty
pair eloping. She subsequently heard
froR her husband, who had obtained
employment from Mr.. George Foster, at
Temperanceville Forge, asking her for
giveness, and stating that his paramour
was not with him. In this belief, she
came to him, but soon discovered that
her mother was still under her hus-
bands protection. and the illicit inter-
course still continued. She preferred
a charge before justice of the peace
against the parties, who in consequence
took their departure on Saturday morn
ing in the Steubenville stage, leaving
the poor creature heart-brOken, entirely
without funds, and with two children,
one of whom is an infant only four
months old. dependent on her for their
support. The Mayor kindly promised
to take the poor woman's case under his
consideration, and to use every effort in
his power to bring the guilty parties to
Justice. Pias5urgA Journal,

SEEDS FOR THE NArIoN.-Congress
appropriated at its late session ten thou
sand dollars for the collection Of agri-
cultural statistics and the procurement
and distribution of seeds and cuttings,
to be expended under the direction Of
the commissioner Of patents.
Mr.. Brown, the head of the agricul-
tural bureau of the patent office, has
sailed for Europe to make selections of
seeds, &c., in season for distribution
through the members of Congress when
again assembled.
In connection with this statement we
copy the following from the Winchester
IVA. Republican:
Mr.. Geo. B. Graves, our postmaster,
has been quite successful in some ex-
periments with the new varieties of
pulse distributed over the country
through the agency of the patent Office.
A japan pea in his garden has grown
into bush FIVE feet high, and it cannot
hold less than two hundred pods, pretty
well developed. Mr.. G. also has some
Oregon peas growing finely. The
leaves of both are similar in form to
those of the grape, although large and
heavier The only objection to these
peas is that they come too late.

VIOLENT TORNADO IN VIRerN1A.-We
learn from the Petersburg Express, that
one of the most terrific storms, accom-
panied by hail. thunder, and lightning,
visited the upper end of Dinwiddie
county, Va, on Sunday last. that has
ever been experienced by even the oldest
inhabitants The rain descended in
torrents, and hail stones fell of enor-
nous size, utterly annihilating the grow
ing crop of tobacco, and literally cutting
the corn to pieces. The lightning
struck the horses attached to the car
riage of Mr.. E. A. Davis, killing The
pair of them. and injuring the driver so
severely that the skin peeled off his
legs and one side of his body. Ali the
female members of his family were in
the carriage at the time, but received
no injury beyond a severe shock.

Born WAYS TRIED.-The City ot
Oswego last year voted No License,
and, SO far as was practicable, closed
up her grog-shops. This year, a ma
jority voted to license again, and one
hundred and tsOenty groggeries of all
sorts are now in full blast.
We are assured that the effects on
the legitimate trade of the city are pal
pably disastrous. The sellers of shoes,
hats, clothes, dry goods, provisions,
&C., find their trade seriously dimin-
ished and their profits reduced to zero,
because the Laboring Glass who last
year bought freely at their counters
now spend their diminished earnings to
a sorrowful extent in rum. The child
rem who had caps and shoes last year
and went decently to school, now skulk
bareheaded and barefoot into the grog-
geries, with scarcely rags enough to
hide the rum bottle which is stripping
their homes of comforts and depriyine
them of happiness. All but the tip.
piers, and a part of them, have had
enough of License, and Oswego will in
November give rousing majority for
the Maine Law.-K ?. Ihi61ne.

was passing down North street, with his
wagon, when one of his wheels came
off. and he discovered that his lynchpin
was gone. After searching for it some
time, he offered the boys who congre-
gated, shilling to whoever would find
it. They then joined in the search, and
in a few minutes one of the boys
brought him what he supposed to be
the pin. Having adjusted the wheel,
he paid the shilling and started of, but
had not gone more than half block,
before wheel on the other side came

rascal bad stolen the pin from one Of

re- We perceive from the following

re- We perceive from the following
account of a recent swindle that the
fools are not all dead:
The Columbus Journal gives a very
racy account of an old gentleman living
in Madison county, who had been fooled
out of cool $4,000 by woman claim
ing the power of divination. The wo-
man made the old fellow believe that
she knew where three hat crowns full
of gold had been buried on his farm,
and that, if he would do as she directed,
they could recover it; but that it was
necessary, to allay the spirits that stood
guard over it, that large sum Of mon
ey must be present with them at the in
cantation. All this story had no i'm
preston upon the old gentleman until
she took his hand and traced mysterious
lines therein. The electricity of that
touch did the work, and forthwith the
$4,000 Just received for lot of cattle
was counted out and folded up in a
handkerchief, and, after various mani
pulations of the man and the money,
the package was left and the woman
departed. Three times did the sorce-
ress return, and finally, after requiring
the farmer to take solemn oath to tell
no one, and not to look at the package
until her return in few days, and af-
ter whirling the weak-headed gentleman
around three times, so that the two
came back 10 back, and concluding with
an earnest prayer, she departed. She
was to return the 18th, 18th, or 17th.-
The first, the second day came, but
with it no woman. The 10Th, the clock
struck midnight; and the diddled gen.
tleman began to suspect some trick; so
he loaded his gun and prowIed around
his own house until morning, to shoot
somebody. But nobody came, and un-
rolling the package he found rags the
old fellow had been robbed of his hand

HOW CUPID BECAME BLIND.

While in the garden Of the skies,
Folly and Love, as children do,
Played, ere the God had lost his eyes,
A quarrel rose betwixt the two.
Love said the gods should do him right,
But Folly vowed to do it then,
And struck him DER the orbs of sight,
So hard he never saw again.
His lovely mothers grief was deep.
She called for vengeance on the deed
A beauty does not vainly weep,
Nor eoldly does a mother plead.
A shade came Ger the eternal bliss
That fills the dwellers of the skies;
Even iron-hearted Nemesis
And Rhadamanthus wiped their eyes.
"Behold," {" said she, 'this lovely boy"
While freshly streamed her graceful
tears,
''Is mortal, but shut out from Joy
And sunshine all his future years.
The child can never take, you see,
A single step without staff;
The hardest punishment would be
Too lenient for the crime by half"
All owned that Love had suffered wrong,
And well should be avenged, they
yi said,
Then weighed the public interest long,
And long the party interest weighed,
And thus decreed the court above
"Since Love is blind from Folly's
blow,
Let Folly be the guide of Love,
Where'er the boy may choose to go!"

WAKING UP A CoSGREGATIoN.-On
last Sabbath morning, while the newly
installed pastor of the Jane st. IN. Y. J
M. Z. Church, Rev. ]. B. Wakely, was
preaching a very eloquent sermon on
our National Privileges, he observed
some of the elder portion of his congre-
cation mapping" and addressed them
in the following manner:
"You may wake up when the grave
of American Liberty has been dug,
and her funeral oration pronounced!-
You may wake up when the genus of
Columbia has taken her flight to some
other landl You may wake up when
the sun of Freedom has gone down,
and the darkness covered our once
bright and beautiful country. Be care
full, or you will wake up when it is too
late, too late, too late! The die is cast;
the nation dead; every sun in the galaxy
of Liberty is extinguished-and the
stars and stripes, that we have looked
at with wonder, delight and Joy, no
longer wave, but lie torn, and rent in
pieces. Such is the fate of this nation,
unless the people wake up to the pro-
lection Of their rights. Tie child is
listening to my voice to-day, who, un
less there is waking up. will live to
see America wrapped in her winding
sheet, and Tyrants hold Jubilee over
