WoMAN.-Perhaps more just and
beautiful compliment was never paid to
woman than the following, by Judge
Story .
"To the honor, to the eternal honor
of the sex, be it said, that in The path
of duty, no sacrifice with them is too
high or too dear. Nothing with them
Is impossible, but to think from wha,
love, honor, innocence and religion re-
quires. The voice of pleasure or Of
powermay pass unheeded--butt the voice
OF atiiction never. The chamber of the
sick, the pillow Of the dying, the vigils
of the dead, the altars of religion, never
missed the presence of the sympa;hies
Of woman. Timil though she be, and
so, delicate that the winds of Heaven
may oft too roughly visit her, on such
occasions she loses all sense of danger.
and assumes a preternatural courage,
which knows not fears nor conse-
quences. Then she displays that un-
daunted spirit which neither courts diff
culties or evades them; that resigna
tion which neither murmurs or regrets ::
and that patience in suffering which
seems victorious over death itself"

A BEAUTIPuL IDEA.-Away among
the AlIcghanies, there is a spring so
small that a single OK, in summers
day, could drain it dry. 1t steals its
unobtrusive way among the hills, till it
spreads out into the beautiful Ohio
Thonceit stretches out thousand miles,
leaving on its banks more than hun.
dred villages and cities, and many a
cultivated farm, and bearing on its bo-
som more than half thousand steam
boats. Then joining the Mississippi, it
stretches away and away some twelve
hundred miles more, till it falls into
the great emblem of eternity. 1t is one
of the great tributaries Of the ocean,
which, obedient only to God, shall roll
and roar till the angel. with one.foot on
the sea and the other on the land, shall
lift up his hands TO heaven, and swear
that time shall be no longer. So with
mortal influence. 1t is rill-a rivulet

or if wanted immediately, is may. be
dried in q kettle over the fire. When
dry, it will be in Jumps, and can be
pulverized by placing an iron kettle a
few inches in the ground, containing the
clay, and pounding il with the end of a
billet of hard wood, three inches in di.

Any clay will make paint, but the

On Marriage.

l suppose there is modicum of ro-
nance in most natures, and that If il
gather about any event it is that of mar.
riage. Most people marry their ideals.
There is more or less fictitious and fala.
cious glory resting upon the head of
every bride, which the inchoate bus.
band believes in. Most men and wo-
men manufacture perfection in their
mates by happy process of their imae-
nations, and then marry them. This,
OF course, wears away. By the time
the husband has seen his wife eat hearti
ly of pork and beans, and, with her
hair flizzled and her oldest dress on,
full of the enterprrze of overhauling
things, he sees that she belongs to the
same race as himself. IS -. trS,
And she, when her husband gets up
cross in the morning, and undertakes TO
shave himself with cold water and q dull
razor, while his suspenders dangle at his
heels, begins 10 see that man il a very
prosaic animal. In other words, there
is such thing as honeymoon, of
longer or shorter duration; and while
the moonsine lasts, the radiance of the
seventh heaven cannot compare with it.
1t Is a very delicious little delirium--a
feblile mental disease--which like
heasless never comes again. - ,- ,-..s
81 When the honeymoon passes away,
setting behind dull mounting, or, dip
ping silently into the stormy sea of life,
the trying hour of marriage.life has
come. Between the parties there are
no more illusions. The feverish desire
of possession has gone-vanished into
gratification-and all excitement has
receded. Then begins, or should begin,
the business Of adaptation. If they find
that they do not love one another as
they thought they did, they should
double their assiduous attentions TO one
another, and be Jealous of every thing
which tends in the slightest degree to
separate them. Life is TOO precious to !
be thrown away in secret regret, or open
differences. And let me say to every
one to whom the romance of life has fled,
and who arc discontented in the slight
est degree with their condition and re-
lations, begin this work of reconcilia.
tion before you are day older. 49,.
Renew the attentions of early days.
Draw your hearts close together. Talk
the thing all over. Acknowledge your
faults 10 one another. and determine
that lieceiorth you will be all in all to
each other; and my word for il, you
shall find in your relation the sweetest
joy earth has for you. There is no
other way for you to do. If you are
