it is the ring that is worn that keeps
bright, and the watch that lies still and

new responsibilities. the new compensa-

neat housewife, whose lark like song should
testify each morning that household du-

found by sad experience, the wide differ

how many a young man of marriageable

familiar than the morning sun, have health

From the Philadelphia Pres,

A few weeks since man, with a long
brown beard, made his appearance in our

He pretended to be native of Peru, aud
an exile for hberty's sake. He had also

"LITTLE DELAWARE" LONGING:
FOR TIE BENEFIT OF EMI-
GRANT AID SOCIETIES..

The Milford News says that lands
are worth over fifty dollars an acre in
Newcastle County. Where there are
scarce any Slaves. while in Sussex
where the bulk Of the Slave popula-
ton of the State is found it will only
command to 8.
The News complains that emigrants
with money to buy lands pass by that
State because it has the name Of" Stare"
attached to it and help to build up
that young giant of the Union" Ohio.
A remedy is proposed? -
Now. il the people of Delaware. at
the next session of the Legislature.
will pass an act that after the follow
ing fourth of July. all children born
or brought up into the State shall be
free at the age of eighteen and twenty
one, it will give Delaware the charac
ter of Free State at once, affect no
Shareholder seriously in his property.
and bring down into Kent and Sussex
rush of emigration from the industri-
ous Frecmen of the adjoining States.
Land here will at once command ad
vanccd prices, and there will spring
into being among us spirit of enter
prise to which we are yet strangers
We have thought much and long Of
this matter. and can show that an act
OF the nature mentioned above would.
on the very day it is placed on the
statute book. increase the value of the
real estate of Delaware five millions OF
dollars! 1t would give an impulse to
our great public works which we arc
now struggling almost against hope to
accomplish, and instead Of the crushing
inertia which is now resting on us. we
shall soon realize the life. activity and
prosperity. which now characterize
the new States Of the great North
