Matrlmony Under Protest.

'wivas iri growntrah!c, marriage is trade"
That honor and obey part | can't sub

ngminded" girl one evening not many
months since, who was one Of crowd
pouring outof Craze Church There had
been wedding, and the bride had prom
ised to ''love. honor, aud obey" and those
words, 'honor and obey" grated upon
the ears of this Independent young by
stander, who thought herself just as good
as the next man," and catching up her
skirts, stepped high, and throwing her
head in the air, gave vent to her opinion OF
matrimonial vows as above. We don't
know that this maiden ever had a chance
TO say eyes, and mere than suspect, flop
portuniiy offered she would say yes, and
'.thank'ee too But however that may
be we are bound to believe she spoke her
honest sentiments. Perhaps she did not
know what she was talking about, or if she
did, has repented of her silly speech, at all
events our advice to the independent young
woman is
"-down on your knees
And ask Heaven, fasting, for good mans love"
w e DedTu VI dUu III a
young lady declared she would not promise
to "obey,' and yet was not only willing,
but anxious to be married She got along
with it in this wise. When the clergyman
came 10 the obnoxious "obcy," she gave
her fan a flrt over the left shoulder, and
thus she romised-''over the left."--
Generally speaking. these objections are
easily overcome by some such expedient as
the Hirt of the fan; certain it is, that not
withstanding frequent signs of rebellion,
and the utterance of many threats, matri-
mony maintains its popularity.
| But all this is Introductory TO the matter
in hand. We noticed, a day or so since,
the marriage IF the strong minded Lu-
cy Stone. OF course it was not expected
she would yield one jot or title Of her
"rights" to any ''live man." and the very
fact that she had been touched by the ten
der passion, must have set the "sroDg
minded" all in lutter But it turns out
that it is not an unconditional surrender, for
before size came to the altar, a protest was
drawn up, sealed, signed. and delivered.
The groom, of course, had the alternative

THE AMERICAN IDEA.-The fate OF this
country depends on nothing SO much as on
the growth or decline of the great idea
which lies at the foundation of all our in
stitutions-the idea of the sacredness OF
every mans right, the respect due to ev-
cry human being. This exists among us;
il las stamped itself on government, it is
now TO stamp itselfon manners and com-
mon life, far harder work. 1t will then
create society such as men have not an
ticipated, but which is not to be despaired
of, if Christianity be divine or if the high
est aspirations of the soul be true Clan
ming.

81. Paul was a. mechanical maker OF
tents from goats hair and, in the lectur-

He was not only a thorough workman at his
trade, but was a scholar-a perfect master,
not only of his native Hebrew, but of three
foreign tongues, knowledge of which he
obtained by close application 10 study du-
ring his leisure hours while serving his
apprentice 1t was custom among
the Jews to learn their sons some trade-a
custom not confined TO the poor classes,
but was al o practiced by the wealthy; and
ii was common proverb among them that
if father did not teach his son a mechan-
ical occupation he taught him to steal.--
This custom was wise one; and if the
fathers of the present day would initiate
the example their wrinkled cheeks would
noi so often blush for the helplcssness anG
not unfrequcnlly criminal conduct of theil
offspring. Even if father intended hi,

an incalculalle benefit TO that son to in.

On Pride.

When we look at the feel J Of corn, we
find that those stocks which raise their
heads the highest are the emptiest. The
same is the case with men,--Lliose who as
sumo the greatest consequence, have gen.
orally the least share Of ju igment and abii-
ity. There is no vice more insupportabls
and more universally hated than pride; it
is kind of poison which corrupts all the
good qualities of man, whatever merit lie
may Otherwise possess; this single fault is
sufficient TO render him odious and con-
tcmptible; so that by pleasing himself too
much, he diSpleases every one else. Pride
is the first vice which takes possession of
the heart, because it derives its source from
self love, AMI it is the last that remains,
whatever efforts may be used TO expel 1t.
There are two kinds of people whom we
ought never to contradict; those who are
far above, and those who are far below us.
If we examine our own thoughts, we shall
find that they are principally employed on
the past or the future--we seldom or never
think Of the present and if we do it, it is
only to lay plans for the future. Hence
it happens, that we never live, we always
hope to live, and are preparing for being
happy but il is certain we never can be SO
unless We fix our attention upon some thing
solid and lasting. 1t is not abundance and
riches that can render us happy, but the
use we make Of them Horace. therefore,
is not con'entel with wishing wealth from
the gods, he begs also, that they would
teach him the art Of eDj"yingit

SPARE THE B1RDs.-The Fireside Jour
nal says: Teach your children in mercy
to spare the nests of the harmless birds, and
if you have heart to be thankful, it will
rise up, in union with the little songster's
carol, to think your lot is cast in such a
vale of flowers and singing birds. These
are some of the many things proved to
tighten the toll of labor, and it is only a
vitiated taste acquired from false system
of education, that prevents MS from deriv-
ing great deal of happiness from such
small accompaniments of the journey Of
life.

Enjoyment in religion depends on OBJ

And softly sings the Philomel
To midnight and to me!

How sorrowrul thy strain!
All, thou hast loved, or elsc thou couldst
Not voice so sweet pain!
And was she very, very fair,
With dove like eyes, that tell
HOW still sleeping passion ISL
All, foolish Philonel!
Were her rare bushes sea she'll pink,
or sunsets crimson glowY
Hsrtrembling bosom, was 1t like
White roses, or the snow?
And did she tell thee how she loved,
And tn sn forget the tale?
Al, thol hast loved the one love,

Across the scented lea,
Sing softly, soIlly, Philomel,

Mcssis. Little, Brown d Co., are said 10
have sold more than hundred and twenty
thousand volumes of Bancroft's History of
the United States, and new edition is 60
ing through Tie press to meet the continued
demand. De Boston Post says:
"The historian has lately visited the
Southern States, where he has viewed the
places tho most remarkable by their his
toric associations, and is now at his elegant
residence in New York, engaged upon his
truly national history. Another volume,
however, may not be looked for under sew
eral years; as probably the volumes con-
tanning the whole Of the next period of the
history-the first part closing with the de-
claration of independence, and the second
part completing history of the war and
closing with the peace of Paris--will be
printed together.
"Mr. Bancroft, however, will soon favor
the public with work which will be as in
teresting, as it will be curious and valua-
bic. He has a rich collection of manu-
script letters Illustrative eff our revolution
airy history, written by the actors in the
events of that period, who lived both here
and in Europe, and which have never been
published. He proposes to issue select
ion from these letters in two volumes" :"

vile, under date of the I'd instant, states that on
Saturday night last a most shocking tragedy occurred

ded. The particulars Of the bloody affair are
follows: For some time past, man named J. Austin

ter Of wealthy old gentleman named w. II. Spiler,
who is reported to be worth about $500, 600. Gra-
ham unsuccessful in his suit from the fact that
the young lady loved, and was engaged to be mar
ried to physician named DIR. Hamet. Graham, on
account of this state Of things, has been very vo-
lent. and threatened to ke the life of his rival the
first opportunity that offered On Saturday night,
about 10 o'clock, he entered the Wytheville Hotel,
kept by Mr.. Thos. j. Boyd, where Mr. Spiiler, the
father Of the young lady, was sitting, in company
with Mr.. c. F. Trigg, teller cfthe Exchange Bank at
Abingdon: Mr.. q. Cox, attache of the hotel, and
q Mr.. Terry of Wytheville. Graham drew a revol-
yer and commenced firing into the crowd killing
