Hasty Marriages.
BY JOANNA.

BY JOANNA.
How much misery is caused by hasty MARI.
ages a young man gets an introduction to a
lady; he falls desperately in love with her
thinks she's the faircst creature in existence
-outrivals the mother of Venus; proposes; is
accepted if the parents consent, well and
good,-if no', tits all the same,-and they are
married. Six months from date, one or the
other sues tor dlVOrce,-gets it and the gor.
dian knot is sevcrcd-both are free, wiser, if
not better persons.
Now, hear the reader say, "Why is this ~
| will tell you: In the first place, there is a
lack Of consideration, Il want of t0rcthought,-
they look too much at the tinsel show, and pass
over the mental qualifications Now this is
absolutely wrong. A man with the least bit of
that essential organ-sense, will not marry a
woman who has been brought up in ease and
luxury without she is willing to forego them
and turn her attention 10 houscwifcry. He
wants one that will preside over the affairs at
home; one that will incucatc good morals 10
his children, for many a child is ruined by the
parent not exerting that watchlul care which
is SO essential to youth. Now, marriage is a
very serious affair, and one should study well
the nature of his or her intended lover, before
promising to love and cherish " one who, in
space of time, might make their life a blank.
If man gets acquainted with lady worth
ten thousand, he thinks her everything that's
requisite; and if he can succeed in ganingaaer
love, then he's a happy man! But how Wtcn
are they doomed to disappointment! Don't
marry woman for her money and nothing
else, but marry her for berself alone. Besurc,
ten thousand is MOTTO be sneezed a! ;" but you
should well weigh the. consequence. Parents,
in some cases. are she instrument by which
such marriages are brought about. Parties are
given, private circles, &C., all of which mainly
contrbute.to the "great cause" 1t used to
be the fashion for the ladies TO stay at home to
receive the gentlemen, but now it's getting re-
verscd.
Perhaps the reader will question the evil
tendency of all this, but let him cast his eye
over one of the city papers, and his attention
will soon be called to something like the follow
ing: Divorce" Unhappy Marriage" etc.;
and then he can doubt no more.
would not have you think that disapprove
of marriage, for, on the contrary, approve Of
it; that is, when person knows vino he mar
ries. But when il is done on the impulse Of
the moment, then, and only then, does it meet
my dsapprobation.

alarmed at her absence or scold her for her de-
sertion. She trembled violently as she placed
her little hand on the bell handle, and the
thought, Il" Shall tell him ~ passed like light
ming through her mind, and the response came
as quickly.
The bell rang, and tripping lightly down the
stairs she heard her husbands feet who, OPEN
ing the door, received her in his arms.
"Where has my little wife been? ~ he asked
| as. weaving his arm around her, he led her into
the paror.
AcheerIul fire burned upon the hearth, and
sitting down by his side, she looked up in his
face, and told him the whole story-of her Gu
rIosIty that had prompted her to read a letter
which was not her own, and the consequent
jealousy, her resolution and lis resut-keeping
nothing back, except the secret which Wilkins
had conlded to her. Watkins listened grave
Iy, but kindly, and, when she had concluded, he
drew her towards him with a fonder love than
he had felt for her before she was tempted, for
he felt how much she needed his aid in her
weakness.
And this should be the manner of receiving
the confidence reposed in US. We should not
receive ii in a spirit of harshncss and repeI the
loving impulse that draws the erring spirit to-
wards our own. Did we properly understand
and practice this there would be far less double |
dealing in the world, and more candor. Mrs. |
Watkins decided rightly, and he, like a true
nan. received the confession rightfuly.
Next morning he entered his counting room
With letter in his hand, addressed TO his part
Ter. 1t contained the mischevous letter, and
he words: My dear sir, your secret is safe,
'ut mine has become my husbands" Wilkins
bowed the lines TO Watkins, and in order to
emove the Impression Of mystery that environ. !
d the matter in the mind of his partner, he .
onfessed the widow and received the congra- .
uIatlons of the happy Watkins. i
The next weeks Watch Tower of Free

The l'EVIATHAN-A Loan Of 100000 called
J0r.-The steamship Asia brought out to This
country copies of a prospectus from the Direc.
tors OF the Eastern Steam Navigation, &c. an.
nounclng that, after mature elaboration. they
have concluded TO place their monster shin, tL.
Leviathan," on the line between England and
the United States. An estimate is made eftbe
earnings and expenditures of the ship for one
year, allowing her to make only seven VOYAGES
per annum. The estimated receipts are E30f-
Co., and the estimated expenditures fIS5, $50:
leaving a balance OF El23,650, or eli, 200 per
voyage net profit.
After considering the foregoing facts and es-
Inmates, the Directors have determined TO raise
the sum OF f220,000, to equip the shin for sen.
by the issue Of 900 annuites to subscribers of
EGO each.
Sir John Yates, Esq, Secretary of the Com
pany, writes that the steamship will be fitted
up and got ready to make her first tripy early
next season.

this TO be wondered at, when il is known that
from single fly more than two millions Of

Of fruit No excuse for this. Even if an apple
could not be grown, the smaller fruits can be,
cheaply, and in great abundance. Strawbcr-
rics, raspberries, gooseberries, currants, black.

pleasant and heulthtul fruit. That the farmer
