with him to one who gave them a license.

bride gave her two hundred pounds. and
without more delay left the town and the
bridegroom to find out who she was or un-

she was gone, two gentlemen came into
town in full pursuit of her; they had trac-

inn where she put up, they examined into
all the particulars Of her conduct. and on
hearing that she was married, gave over tho

following directions:

is
3 Instil into her mind proper love Of
dress.
3. Accustom her to SO much pleasure
that she is never happy at home.
4. Allow her to read nothing but now

5. Teach her all the plishments,
but none of the utilities of life.
6. Keep her in the darkest mysteries Of
housekeeping.
I. Initiate her into the principle that it
is vulgar to do anything for herself
8. TO strengthen the latter belief. let her
have ladies' maid.
= 9. And lastly. having given her such an
education, marry her to clerk in the Trea-
sury. upon ELS year. or to an ensign that

The boasei unity OF the North is beginning to
show signs of weakness and disruption. The ad-
vocates ofpeaca are daily becoming bolder and
more numerous. There was a time when free
speech was not tolerated; when we could scarcely
point to single opposition journal that had not
been forced to yield 10 local pressure, and to pub
licly purge itself of all suspicion of sympathy with
the South Now that a reaction has set in and
men dare once more to express their honest con
victions, we can count a score of Northern Jour-
nails which have asserted their independence OF
mob-aw, and are arrayed in open antagonism to
the hostile policy OF the Administration. The
boldness of their utterances affords convincing
Proof that they have a strong popular opinion to

Of the change which is taking place in the

invariably sets in when the passionate impulse has

the peace propositions will take, or wha
success they will meet with, even if the memorials
! to Congress should be as numerously signed as
were those which, at the last session. petitioned
for the passage of the CRITTENDTN resolutions, OF
for any other measure of compromise that would be
acceptable TO the South. Ii is not at all improba-

division of sentiment at the North are likely to
lead before long, to the organization of a power
ful peace party. As il is said already to number
among its advocates many wealthy merchants and
capitalists It's action would undoubtedly tend to
seriously embarrass he Administration, and it
might finally, succeed in breaking down the n-
fuence Of the radical Republicans, and thus con-

of violence and unmoved by apprehensious of per

unlawiully seized and imprisoned and of property
which has been Illegally occupied and destroyed,
its calm, dignited voice Of protest rises like the
utterauces of Senates and Councils Of classic DAYS
and as worthy as they to be recorded in immortal
