aged, disheartened objects Of commise-
ration; what traces of pain and illness
are written upon their shrunken visa.
gos before the fifth anniversary of the
" honey moon."
Look at the unhappy countenancos
of half the young husbands you meet :?
DO they not speak of pleasing anticipa=
tions followed by unpleasant realities &?
How many a husband, who in his bach
clor days fondly dreamed of blthe,
cheerful, neat housewife, whose lark
like song should testify each morning
that household duties were a well spring
of pleasure, has found, by sad expert
ence, the wide difference between ro-
nance and reality. And how many a
young man of marriageable age and
fine prospects, seeing the rude dispcl-
ling of this or that companions dream
of domestic enjoyment, takes warming
and holds himself sternly aloof from
matrimonial entanglcments. l assure
you, ladies, l know many a young man,
considered by calculating mammas and
amiable daughters os decidedly good
match, who, in confidential convcrsa-
ton, does not hesitate to say that he
does not dare to get married.
"Why,' said a young man of wealth
and position to me, but week since,
" when L marry l want home and l
have been looking for the last five years
for wife, calculated by nature and
education to make home for me, and
a true mother for my children, but in
vain, so far. Is not health needed :?
but how can the frail lounger & david
Ter, to whom the midnight glare of the
chandelier is far more familiar than the
morning sun, have health for herself,
OF to bequeath to her children? Is not
a cheerful disposition needed but how
can this be acquired or kept by those
whose lives are but one constant round
of selfish frlvolity Flow can ono gain
habits of care and application, without
ever having even the care of her own
room! How can one superintend the
details Of housekeeping, so as to min.
lister to the comfort of the household,
to whom every item of that house
keeping is not only unknown, but pos
itivcly hateful ? No, | tell you Fred.
although / may be able to support an
animated parlor ornament, yet my taste
does not run that way and so 1 choose
to remain a bachelor, until 1 find an
intelligent girl, with domestic accom-
plishments."
Is not this common sense conclu-
sion, ladies Whether it is or not,
many of the most desirable young men
for husbands are thus resolved, and
more are coming to think so.
MoRAL.-Young lady, if you wish
your mothers life prolonged, help her
| about the house. If you wish health
and lasting beauty, do housework. If
you wish good husband, and wish to
make him happy, don't /" hate house
work"

PnILADELpnIA.-The North Amer
lean Of Saturday last thus refers to the
" Religious Movement
"The religious excitement which
was recently the theme Of all the news.
papers, secular as well as religious, and
the topic of all conversations, has ccas-
ed, in part, in its. public demonstra-
tions. But in places less public, the
meetings are still continued at noon
day. Ii tho assemblies are not so large

on Sundays at the several places of

before public attention was enlisted. -

as missionaries giving a more quiet
aspect to spots which have had, in pre-.
vlous years, too much frolic for calm
enjoyment, and too little restraint for
the promotion of sound health & good
morals. But the circumstance which

been the evident influence upon the
public mind, as exhibited in the mode
N which the double holiday of the 18th
and 9Th was passed over. We never
have had occasion to report less Of
crime and violence, fewer accidents, &
more general absence ofevents to cause
Americans to blush for the license that
is mistaken for liberty. From this
pleasant fact we gather that the "awa-
kening," as it is termed, has produced
good fruits. OF all nations in the world
tbs United States can least afford the
loss of religious restraint. The char
actcr of our institutions, and the free
dom which is SO readily perverted into
license, demands the Acknowledgement
of Divine authority. For while human
power is set at naught, and the people
are taught to consider the authority of
their rulers as a power created by the
governed, it is absolutely essential that
we should acknowledge some authority
which we, the governed, have not ere,
ated, which we cannot escape, and can
neither deny nor destroy."

UOT BREAD

The following is from DR.. John G.
Bunting, who has been experimenting
with Alexis st. Martin, the man with
a hole in his stomach, made by bull
let, through which can be seen all the
processes or stages Of digestion
"llot bread never digests. Bear
this in mind reader, if you are accus-
toned to eat the light and tempting
biscuit at tea, or the warm loaf which
looks so appetizing upon your dinner
table. Hot bread never digests af-
ter a long season Of tumbling and
working about in the stomach, it will
begin to fermcnt and will eventually
be passed out Of the stomach as an un
welcome tenant Of that delicate organ,
but never digests, never becomes as,
simulated to, or absorbed by the organs
that appropriate nutrition to the body.
1t is first rate dyspepsia producer.
The above is truth, as it has been re.
pcatcdly proved from actual observa-
tion through the side of st. Martin"

A Now Conet,cref.

A few days ago, couple of fools
got into fight on one of the wharvos
in Boston. But, before they had the
chance to injuro each other, very SEN
siblc fellow--a clerk in one of the
ores-elbowed his way through the
crowd, and flung handful Of flour in.
to the face and eyes Of the onraged
combatants.
The battle ceased very suddenly,
ana the parties as soon as they had re-
covered their sight, showed some fine
specimens of tall walking, amid roars
OF laughter from the spectators.
This is the best Boston notion out
yet. That clerk should be created
Lieutenant Of the Police. They duell
mobs in Russia, by playing tho fire
engines upon them.

1t seems little singular to find
news from Burmah coming through tho
British press, but We find the following
cheering intelligence from Mr.. Kincaid
in a letter from Judge Wylic to the
News of the Churches:
"Since reaching Burmah [ have
been almost constantly in the country
among the villages to the east and the
south east of Prone. In 13 villages
we have baptized disciples, but 1 have
visited and preached in over forty vii
lagos. Seven of the villages were en-,
tirely Karen, and the others Burman.
found many earncst enquircrs, and
some nine or ten who gave evidence Of
saving faith in Christ, and will before
long be baptized. A few days since
baptized a man of great promise. For
ten years he studied in one of the most
celebrated schools in Ava, and then
became the head of a monastery, built
and sustained by the population of four
vllIagcs-it was one Of the largest cs.
adjustments in this province. More
than a year ago he first heard the Cos
pei from one of our native Christians ::
he ordered the man to be driven from
the monastery, but not long after he
heard again, and then was more mild
and was smittcn by the perseverance,
and kindness ef this man. lie took
some small parts Of the New Testament
and read, and continued to read, and
soon the light began to dawn upon his
mind; and he proclaimed to the priests
under him the wonderful truths reveal

gan to sec the inconsistency Of his DO.
sltlon, and boldly threw aside all his
prlestly robes, and proclaimed himself
disciple Of Christ. The people of
those villages were amazed, as they
listened to the doctrines proclaimed by
this young man before whom, for five
years, they had bowed, and whom they
had called their lord and master. lie

Of Buddhism, has u clear understand.
ing, and speaks with great nucncy and
power. lie is now living with ono of
our most distinguished native preach.
crs, and is giving himself to the study
Of the New Testament. We trust he
is raised up for some great and good
work."

PRAYER.

Go when the morning shinetl-
Go when the noon is bright
SO when the eve declineth--
Go in the hush of night.
Go with pure mind and feeling,
Fling earthly thought away;
And in thy chamber kneeling,
Do thou in secret pray.
Remember all who love thee,
And all those loved by thee;
Pray too, for those who hate thee,
If any such there be.
Or, if It's Ger denied thee
In solitude TO pray
Should holy thoughts como o'cr thee,
When friends are round thy way.
Oh not JOY or blessing
With this can be compared
The power that ho has given us
To reach him with word.
Then for thysclf in mecknoss,
a blessing humbly claim
And link with each petition
The great Redecmer's name.
Evon the silent breathing
OF the spirit raised above,
Will reach His throne of Glory,
Who is Mercy, Truth and Love.
Whene'cr thou pip'st in sadness,
Before his foot.stool fall;
And remember in thy gladncss,
His grace who gave the call.

On earth TO man thoro is bot ono

Though myriads fit before his view,
There Is but one to whom he's true
That one can sway him 10 and fro;
Can make him drain the cup Of woe
Can give him joy or blast his life;
And that ones name is simply wife.
But in that name world is sphcred,
A world by all beloved, rovercd,

The morning meeting, at the Old South
chapel was perhaps never more inter-
esting than at present. Cases of hope
full conversion are still frequent in all,
or nearly all the evangelical churches,
and there seems to be more ground of
hope than we ever before knew, that
the revival will not be brought to an
end by the hot season Of the year, by
which so important part Of our pop
ulation is sent into the country. Large
accessions were made last Sabbath to
the various churches in this city and
the immediate vicinity"

all to remain quiet. Had the Sepoys
been Bengal troops, there is no doubt
that every white person would have
beeu slaughtered; but they are Mad.
ras troops. In Prone, there are no
troops except two companies of Mad
ras sepoys. Some Mussclmen shop
keepers and policemen had planned
with the prisoners to rise, kill all the
white people, seize all the treasure and
cross the boundary into Burmah pro-
per. The plan was well laid, and the
day fixed, but Madras sepoy on sem
try overheard the conspirators in the
evening. The rising and massacre was

morning. There were twenty five Mus
selmen and some three hundred pris-
oners to be let loose and armed. prob
ably some fifty or sixty concealed rob-
bers in the town. The jailor was in
formed by the man on sentry & before
midnight the authorities had seized and
put in irons all the Musselmen. 1t was
a narrow escape for the foreigners
some twelve or fifteen, old and young.
Now two English regiments are sent
from Calcutta, y also naval brigade
at Mea-day. So all is quiet along the
frontiers. In few days we intend
leaving Ava; and after visiting many
places along down the river, shall
remain two. or three days at Thayet,
and then go to Prone. :
1t is very hot now during the day.
March and April are the two hottest
months in the year at Ava. In May,
the masses of clouds, with strong winds
and an occasional shower of rain, rem
der the climate quite pleasant. Soon
after reaching the city, the King sent
an officer (ho la s0oon or foreign min
ister, to inquire if we were comfortable
and directed the officer to send US ev-
cry thing we required; and so bread,
butter, tea, sugar, milk, fowls, rice, oil, !,
vegetables, and in fact every thing the
market affords. l told the officer to
send nothing, but he replied that it was
o positive order and he must send them:
so they came, provisions enough to feed
twenty persons. The Prime Minister
said he had ordered house built, but
begged of him to do no such thing,
as | could remain but few days. All
this is by order of the King. 1t is
