is strength. Get married. 1repeat, young man
Concentrate vonr affections upon one object
and not distribute them, crumb by crumb,
among host of Susans, Sarahs, Marys, Elias,
Betscys, Peggys and Dorothys-alowing each
scarcely enough to nibble at. Get married, and
have somebody to cheer you up as you journey
through this "lowly vale Of tears"- somebody
to scour up your dull, melancholy moments, and
keep your whole life, and whatever linen you
possess, in some sort of Sunday-go-to-mccting
order.
Young woman! need not tell you to look
out for a husband for know that you arc fix
ing contrvances to catch one, and are as natu-
rally on the watch as n cat is for mouse. But
one word in your ear, if you please. Don't bait
your hook with an artificial fly of beauty; if
you DO, the chances are ten to one that YOU will
catch gudgcon--some silly fool Of fish that
isn't worth his weight in sawdust. Array the
inner lady with the beautiful garments Of rir-
tue, modesty, truth, morality, wisdom, and un-
sophisticated love, and you will dispose OF Your
self quicker, and to much better advantage, than
you would if you displayed all 'thc gewgaw,
flipperings fnlde-rols, and fiddlede-dees in the
universe. Remember, it is an awful thing to

tic longest, and they should be passed as right
eousiy and pleasantly as the weather and cir
custances will permit. Get married while you
arc young; and then, when the frost Of age
shall fall and withcr the flowers Of youthful al-
lcction the leaves of connubial love will still be
green; and, perchance, a Joyous offspring will
surround and grace the parent tree, like ivy

such eminent success, uponsan enlightened pub
lic The plain state of thrscase, is this: that a
citizcn-sollicr is either aoisers, q soldier or a
ao'aieg,-wit decided preference for the lat
ter. For, when the person brought up as a
military man attempts toPlay the citizen, his
occupation is so oprosedstoshis education that it
produces jumblc, ont ii which springs like
Minerva Of old, the fullgrown all-panoplicd
"Noihng."
In what have writteaI mean no disparagc-
mcnt of the Stale Military Academies. I do,
and always have considepalthese Institutions as
ornaments to the State, issAa in many respects
well worthy the fosteringgsseare Of the Lcgisla-
turc. The military ardoiswhich they create in
their pupils, soltened yaia chastcncd by the
peaceful influences at hoa,e, and the remem-
brances of their earlier. school Gays, mould men
firm and resolutc in purpose, and wary in
counsel; men prepared &c deliberate in the
chamber, and to lead inahe field. But let us
preserve this system of Military Education with
its present limitations, and not extend it into
the primary schools of t,,:s4sland. For if we en-
tend them so far, the fat sentiments, and as
the first the most lastinsfwe teach our children,
would be those Of a soldicr-their earliest re-
collections would be of tlepowcr and glory won
in their mock battles, ans continuing their cdu-
cation in the same chanFsl, when admitted into

Poor lone Hannah,
Sitting at the window, binding shoes.
Faded wrinkled,
Sitting, stitching, in mourntul muse
Bright-cycd beauty once was she,
When the bloom was on the trce
Spring and winter
Hannah's at the window, binding-shoeS
Not neighbor
Passing nod or answer will refuse
To her whisper
ais there from the fishers any news =
Oh, her hearts adrift, with one
On an endless voyage gone
Night ard morning
uannah's at the window, binding shoes.
Fair young Hannah,
Ben, the sun-burt fisher, gayly woos
Tall and clever,
For willing heart and hand he Sues
May.day skies are all ag"w,
Aud the waves arc laughing so!
For her wedding
Hannah leaves her window, and her shoes
May is rassins;-
Mong the appleb boughs pigeon COOS.
Hannah shudders;
For the wild Southwestern mischief breWs
Round the rocks of A1arblehead,
Outward bouGd, Il schooner sped.
Silent, lonesome,
IIannals at the window binding shoes.
IT'S November,
Now ro tear her wastc'l check hetlcws,
From Newfoundland
Not sail returning will she lose,
Whispering, hoarscy, Fishermen,
Have You, have you heard OF Ben 2
Old with watching,
Hannalls at the window, binding siccS
Twenty winters
Bleach and tear the rugged shore she views
Twenty seasons;
Never one has brought her any news.
Still her dim eyes silently
Chase the white sails ocr tho sea.
Hopeless, faithful:
Hannah's at the window, binding shoes.
