TENDENCIES OF THE AGE.-A New York Judge
in resigning his position the bench of that city,
says lit is easy to demonstrate, that, in the yet
discovered world, there is not such another ex-
travagant people, in proportion to its real ,ceah
that which inhabits New York" The one idea
is "a frantic determination to get, in some immedi-
ate way, the means Of appearing to be rich"
Both men and women, he says, are selling them
selves for money; the passion for the appearance
OF wealth is terrific. The cry of every soul, and
the clutch of every arm is for money-money to
be spent in extravaganza. The country is MAD for
money, money, and all for show, dress, and miser-
able ostentatiOn and vanity in every shape and
form. A terrible picture, but it is true-Rich-
naona Dispatch.

SEARCH FOR WIvEs.-Where do men usually
discover the women who afterwards become their
wives? Is question have occasionally heard
discussed; and the result invariably come to is
worth mentioning to our young lady readers
Chance has much to do in the affair, but then
there are important governing circumstances. 1t
is certain that few men make a selection from
bathrooms, any other place of gaety, and nearly
as few are influenced by what is called showing
off in the streets, or by any allurements OF dress
Our conviction is, that 99-hundredths of all the
fnery with which the women decorate or load their
persons, 90 for nothing, as far as husband catch
ing is concerned. When and how, then, do men find
their wives? In the quiet homes of their parents
or their guardians-at the freside where the do
mestic feelings and graces are alone demonstrated
These are the charms which most surely attract
the high well as the humble. Against these, all
the fnery and airs in the world sink into insi gni
fcance. We shall illustrate this by an anecdote,
which though not new will not be the worse for
being again told In the year ITS, Peter Bur-
nell, Esq, of Rockingham, in Kent, whose health
rapidly declining, was advised by his physl-
clans 90 to Spain for the recovery of his health
His daughters feared that those who had motives
entirely mercenary would not pay him that atten-
ton which he might expect from those who, from
duty and affection united would feel the greatest
pleasure in ministering to his and comfort;
they therefore resolved to accompany him. They
proved that it was not spirit of dissipation and
gaiey that led them to Spain, for they not to
be seen in any fashionable circles; they never stir
red from their homes except to attend him either
to take the air or drink the water; in a word they
lived most recluse life in the midst of town,
then the resort of the most iustrious and fashion
able personages in Europe. The exemplary atten-
ton to their father procured these three admirable
sisters the admiration of all the English in Spain
and was the cause Of their elevation to that rank
in life to which their merits gave them so just a
title. They all married to nobemen-one to
the earl of Beverly, another to the Duke of Haml-
ton and afterwards to the Marquis of Exeter, and
a third to the Duke of Northumberland. And it
is justice to say that they reflected honor their
rank, rather then derived any from it-Spirit Of
the Age.

A MEMBER OF WAsHINGTON's LIFE GUARD

A MEMBER OF WAsHINGTON's LIFE GUARD
BURIED IN IREDELL CoUNTY.-We presume 1t Is
not generally known that a member OF ashng-
toms Life Guard in the time of the Revolution,
was buried in the county Of Iredell, nevertheless
it is true His name was William Glll, ana Is
mentioned in the historical sketches OF Generai
Washingtons Military Family
The remains of this good patriot, made sacred
by the offices the living performed around the
person of the Father of his Country, in the time
that tried mems souls, who shared the dangers and
privatons of his great Captain-lie beneath the
sod in a graveyard, known as the cemetery of the
"Young Family" on Hunting Creek, in the north
part of Iredell, and now in possession of John ID.
Dalton, Esq.
The spot is indicated by plain soapstone
placed at the head of the grave, with the follow
ing inscriptions
"Sacred to the memory of William Gill, who
departed this life Sept. 4th, 1797-aged AZ years"
A correspondent having communicated to us
the above particulars, says: 1t is but due to his
memory that monument be erected to mark the
spot where the man that served his country from
the commencement until the close of the Revolu-
ton, was laid. He was a native of Virginia,
married Susanna Young before the commence
ment of the war, and removed to North Carolina
some years after the war. His widow survived
him "a years. She never asked anything for his
services or his descendants"
We think the public will coincide with our cor
respondent that a monument should be erected to
the memory of the deceased, by Congress or our
State.-,StateSctUe Express.

\ HUMOROUS INCIDENT.-An old farmer who
had two handsome daughters would not permit
them to keep the company Of the young men, At
ter the old man had retired to rest the girls would
hang sheet out of the window, and each beau,
with the assistance of his lady, who tugged Justify
above, would thus gain an entrance. 1t so hap
pened that one evening the girls hung out the
Sheet too early and the old gent spying the article
could not conjecture the meaning OF 1t. 80 ~ ne
caught hold and endeavored to pull it down. The
girls surprising it to be of their fellows, began
to hoist, and did not discover the mistake until
the old mans head was level with the window sill,
when one of them exclaimed, "Oh, Lord, it's dad"
and letting go the sheet. down came the old gen.
tleman to the ground; dislocating his shoulder.
Withdrawing all opposition to their keeping COM
pany he was soon father-in-law.

A young gentleman by the name of Conkey,
having been united by the holy bonds of wedlock
sent the marriage notice, with a verse of his own
composition to the printer for publication, as fol-
lows:
"MARRIED.-At Gosham, July %, A. Conkey
Esq, Attorney at Law, to Miss Euphemie Wig
gins, both of Gosham.
glove is the union of two hearts
That beat in softest melody;
Time, with its ravages, imparts
No bitter fusion to its ecstacy."
Mr. Conkey looked with much anxiety for the
issue of the Gosham Sentinel, in order to see his
pane in print The compositor into whose
charge the notice was placed happened to be on
spree at the time, and made some wonderful blum
ders in setting it up-thus:
"MARRIED-At Gosham, July %, A. Donkey,
Esq, Eternally at Law, to Mr. Epheumia Piggins,
both of Goosdan..
"Jove is an onion of two heads
That belts its softest melony;
Time with its cabbages imparts
No better feed than an extra dray.'
