thought of the Irish in 81, and to which all
the Wings (now Know Nothiugs) respo l3ed
with a loud amen.
WAsHTNGToN, March IL, 1851.
GENTLEMES / have received yonr note
inviting me to join you, at Philadelphia in
the approaching st. Patrick's Day-an honor
which, regret, the press Of business obliges
me to decline.
You do me justice in supposing me TO feel
a lively interest in Ireland and her sons. Per-
haps 10 man. certainly no American, owes IS
much to the valor and blood Of Irishmen -
myself. Many Of them marched and fought
under my command in the war Of 1Sl2-'l5,
aud many more-thousands-in the recent
war with Mexico, not one Of whom was ever
known to turn his back upon the enemy or a
friend.
salute you. gentlemen, with my cordial
respects.

MORE INDIAN OUTRAGEs.-A considera-
bile number of Sioux Indians arrived in this
city on Saturday last, from hunting ex-
cursion, bringing with them the scalp of a
Chippewa. A skirmish took place some
days since, near Rice Lake between an out
lying party of the Sioux and some Chippe-
was, which was severely contested, and the
one killed, shot the Sioux who killed him.
through the thigh. The wounded Sioux
shot the Chippewa, and killed him, while
the latter was running. The scalp was dis
played on Saturday last, stretched upon a
hoop, and fancifully decorated with feath-
ers, ribbons, etc. tgr
We hear also that the Chippewas have,
within a few days past, taken two Sioux
scalps.

TO meet Miss G.. again was the hard

her carriage, or on foot, he would dodge
around the nearest corner. She at last
addressed him a note under her own

WHOLE NUMBER 23l

most daily divorces that are taking
place, in the running away Of husbands,
leaving their wives and children to starve
and in the clopement of wives. Not
only this, but we witness it in broken
spirited men, made old in the prime OF
life, struggling on for mere food, and
clothing, and shelter, and in women
cross, dirty, sluttish, and wrinkled.
1t would be quite impossible for us to
depict faithfully the multitude of physi-
cal and moral evils that result from
these sinful aliauces-for sinful they
are. They ruin the body, corrupt the
morals, and stultify the mind: and the
result does not stop with husband and
wife. There are the children. They
partake of the feeblcncss and vices of
the parents, both physical and moral,

TAKEN AT HIS WORD,
Or, The Double Bridal.

A few years ago made one of the
seventy-nine passengers on board the
steamer Emily Barton, bound up the
Tennessee. A pleasant, intelligent,
go-ahead captain, good steward, and
a social refined company, made the trip
one Of pleasure indeed, long shall |
remember the saucy Emily Barton and
her superb living freight One lovely
summer afternoon it was whispered that
we were to have wedding before the
boat reached her destination said whis-
per starting first and low near the stern
somewhere in the vicinity of the ladies'
cabin, and speedily making its way to
the hall, the boiler deck, and even to
the main like the SNOWFALL down the
mountain, gathering size, form and mo-
mentum, as it rolled forward, until the
principals in the interesting scene were
not only pointed out, but the parson-
some scraps of the history of each, fic-
ton, fact, or surmise, all hatched up in-
geniously, leaving you in the half pleas
ant, half painful suspense and doubt
that opens the eyes wide, and strains
the drum of the ear so tight to all trans
piring around you. Well, we landed to
wood at magnificent beech bottom, the
tall heavily leavcd trees with their silver
gray trunks making a deep cool shade
while they with the grassy green bank
that bore them, were imaged in the
CLASSY river, so clear, so true, that their
inversion only pointed the false from the
true. Cutting this charming spot in
twain came murmuring crystal spring
brook, scarce four spans wide, TO lose
itself in the mass of Tennessee waters,

No sooner was the staging out than
there emerged from the ladies' cabin a
fine, manly looking fellow, dl esscd in

every feature, while over his face per-

marriage, became addicted to imtemper

him to leave the country where he re-
sided and he moved to Richmond, where
he soon rose to distinction. But his
habits hung around him, with jolly and
frolicsome spirits, in Bacchanalian rev.
clry. His true friends expostuated
with him, to convince him of the injury
he was doing himself. But he still per-
sisted. His practice began to fall off,
many looked upon him as on the sure
road to ruin. lie was advised to get
married, with view of correcting his
habits. This he consented to do, if the
right person offered. lie accordingly
paid his addresses to Miss Gamble =
After some months attention, he asked
her hand in marriage; she Ieplied-
: Mr.. Writ, | have been well aware of
your intentions for some time back, and
should have given you to understand
that your visits and intentions were not
acceptable, had | not reciprocated the
affection you .cvinced for me. But l
cannot yield my assent until you make
a pledge never to taste, touch or handle
any Intoxicating drinks This reply to
Mr.. Writ was as unexpected as it was
novel. His reply was, that he regarded
the proposition as a bar to all further
considerations of the subject, and left
her. Her course to him was the same
as ever-his, resentment and neglect
In the course of a few weeks, he again
went and solicited her hand But her
reply was, her mind was made up. He
became indignant, and regarded the
terms she proposed as insulting to his
honor, and vowed it should be the last
meeting they should have. He took to
drinking worse than ever, and seemed
to ruu headlong to ruin. Ono day,
while lying in the outskirts Of the city,
near little grocery or grog-shop, dead
drunk, young lady, whom it is not
necessary to name, was passing that way
to her home, not far off, and bohcld him
with his face upturned to the rays of
the scorching sun. She took her hand
kerchisf, with her own name marked
upon it, and placed it over his face
After he remained in that way some
hours, he was awakened, and his thirst
being great, he went into the little gro
Gerry or gorg shop to get drink, when
he looked at the handkerchief, and saw
the name on it After pausing few
minutes, he exclaimed Great God !

on my face = No one knew. He
dropped the glass, exclaimius, Enough!

the store, forgetting his thirst, but not

Premature MatrinlOMy.

Marriage is divine and beautiful q,
rangement 1t was designed by Prov
dcnce not solely as the means of keer
ing up population, or as mere soci;
and economical convenience, but as th
blending of two spirits into one-th
masculine representing aoisdom, and tn
feminine afection When there i,
true spiritual affinity between the two
then the design is accomplished.
Premature marriages are among the
greatest evils of tho times; and il
would not be bid idea in these day.
of reforms, if an Anti-marrying ina
hurry Society were instituted. Nova
days people leap in:o the magic life
circle with no more consideration than
they would partake of dinncr-little
thinking that, when once in, they are
there until their end comes. There is
but little, sometimes no mutual analysis
Of disposition, and comparison of taste
and affections. They seem to fancy
that if there are any discrepancies,
the fatal Gordian knot which can be
seldom cut and never united, will har-
monizc all.
The numbers who have felt this truth
the numbers still feeling it to their
hearts core--are incalculable. They
recognize it as the great mistake of
their lives. The chain is not to them a
sikcn one, but cable of iron, that
tightens around them more and more
crushing out all hope and energy, sub
stituting hato for love, and eating out
with its rust, the very inner life of the
soul.
Boys and girls now marry to greater
extent than ever before, instead of wait
ing till they become full-grown and ma
tured men and women The young
dandy, as soon as he gets out of short
jackets, and finds lsttle furze gathered
ON his upper lip-and the young miss,
as soon as she emerges from the nursery
and abbreviated frocks-think thee are
qualified to assume the most solemn re-
spousibilities of life. And so if Pa
and Ma won't consent, they post off
to some Gretna Green, and there tako
obligations that, ninety-nine cases out
of a hundred, they will never cease Bit
tcrly to repent.
Marriage should never be the result
of fancy. The ball room and the even
ing party rarely develop real character.
Under the exilaratins influence of the
dance, the glare of lights, and the mcr-
ry squb and joke, the dissolute young
man may appear amiable, and the slat-
ternly sceld loveable. Matches made
at subj places, or under similar circum-
are not Of the class that origi-
nate in heaven. They more generally
are conceived in the opposite place, and
bring forth only iniquity The true
way to learn each other is to do it at
home, in the parlor, in the kitchen, aud
on occasions that test the temper. We
see the result Of these unisons in the al
