to ride, or walk, or to make visit; to change conditions as often as you can make it convenient, and especi- ally to arrange to accompany your hus- band when he desires you to be with him."
 "Oh, John hates to go out alone of dreadfully by saying that if the baby kept on interfering with his pleasure he should dub it nuisance Poor little baby! He wants me to have nurse; but how can trust stranger with my treasure ?''
 "There it is-as plain as sunlight. In this last remark you have shown me yourself and husband exactly. Your husband wants you, and is lonely and discontented without you. He cannot feel the same tenderness for the child that you do, so be sensible and not de- mand it. You are divided between your love for your husband and your love for your baby. You have fretted yourself into state of illness and ac- tual discomfort, because you cannot serve both as you feel they should be served. If your husband wants another servant you should obey him, for in this he is wiser than you"
 "Oh, Mrs. Harris, if you could only live with us P
 After this the way was made plain. There was few jars at first, but con- mon sense, good health, and the good nature that comes of both, arranged all at last and both husband and wife bless the angel that was sent in the guise of searGstress.

To tue Stated Pilots of the Port oJ
 NeaO York, and aU others aOho it
 maav concern
 GENTLEMEN: We need not inform you that the ship is hourly expected with the tea from England which, if landed here, will entail slavery on this colony and ruin it's commerce. No class of men are more interested in the last than you, nor none have it more in their power to prevent the introduction of that which the tyrannical Ministry intend as the badge of our slavery. You are, therefore, called upon to give the first instruction. The ship cannot enter this port unless you direct her. Acquit yourselves in this as become freemen and friends to commerce. Much depends on your conduct in this interesting crisis no less than whether you and your posterity shall be freemeu or slaves-whether you or they shall have property or be beggars. You have had many proofs of the dis appreciation of your fellow citizens to the importation of any article subject to a duty by the British Parliament, for the purpose of raising a revenue in America. And it's not many days since you have had very recent one. You have, therefore, nothing to fear from doing your duty to your country. The merchants and all the inhabitants, friends to liberty, are concerned in your giving the obstruction, and will support you. We cannot, therefore, doubt but there are sufficient motives to induce you to demonstrate to all the world that you will not have the least agency in the destruction of your country. But if, contrary to our just expecta- tions, any of you should be so lost to all sense of obligation to your country as not to follow the directions hereafter mentioned, the vengeance of a free people struggling for their liberties await and will surely be executed upon you. Should you be told, that the Wardens will remove any of you who may refuse to pilot the ships into this port, or prosecute your bonds they dare not do either, for they are within the reach of the same vengeance, and therefore will not hazard their own safety so that you are secure in the appreciation of your countrymen, and it's the best and only security any man can have.
 Whenever you board vessel inquire carelessly of the sailors, where she is from, and if from London, whether she has any tea on board ; for the captain of the tea ship may conceal it from you. If the sailors were not on board at the loading of her, and cant inform you, inquire of the captain. If he is un- willing to tell you, rest assured the tea is there. In this case, or your being informed, that the tea is on board, bring her to auchor in Sandy Hook Bay, and no farther, where she may be supplied with any provisions, or other articles she may want for her return. Upon her anchoring, quit her imme- diately, and make the best of your way to this city, and inform the citizens of her arrival. You should be provided with red flag to hoist as signal to the others pilots, whenever you dis cover her to be the tea ship, in order that they may keep clear of her after you quit her.
 Let every pilot possess himself with copy of this for his government. LEGION.
 NEW YORK, Nov. 10, 1773.

EIOneS with His Wife.

Rev. Lewis o. Herman, of Douglass township, Montgomery County, Pa., says the Reading Eagle, over whose head at least sixty winters have passed, eloped with Maria Barto, a widow lady of about the same age, who resides near Mount Pleasant, Washington township, Berks County, and anxious and interested parties are securing the country in search of the youthful run aways, but up to this time the brave Lewis and his gentle Maria have suc- ceeded in eluding their pursuers, and are no doubt spending their honeymoon in some quiet nook, there in lonely cot, the world forgetting, longed only to be by the world forgot, and revel in hesupernal blisses of two souls with but single thought, two hearts that beat as one. Verify the tender passion dieth not. About two years ago Lewis was married to Maria against the will of her relatives. The marriage was then afterwards declared null and void by the Court, owing to the lady not being of sound mind, and she was sent to the 1unatic asylum at Philadelphia, where she remained some nine months, when she was again brought home and close watch kept over her. After repeated attempts she has at last given them the slip and hied away with her lover. The lady ir question is very wealthy, owning very nearly all the property around Mount Pleasant, from which iron. ore is being taken. MT. Herman was formerly il the Ministry (reformed), and had charge of several congregations in the upper end of Montgomery and lower end ot Berks counties.

Waiting.

Waiting.
 Thou of the sunny head,
 With lilies garlanded, And bosom fairer than the blown sea-foam; o Spring, in what waste desert dost thou stay
 Whilst leaves await thy presence to un- fold? The branches of the lime with frost are gray,
 And all imprisoned is the crocus' gold. Come, sweet Enchantress, come Though, in the sombre west, Thy star hath lit it's crest Pale Phospor, fronting full the withered moon Thy violets are sepultured in snow, Thy daisies twinkle never in the sun, Rude winds throughout the ruined forests And silent is the dove's melodious moan: Enchantress, hasten soon. White are the country ways, And white the tangled maze, Loved of the oxlip and the creeping thyme; Bare shakes the poplar on the sullen ridge. Cold glooms the spectral mill above the flood; Hoarse torrents stream beneath the ivied bridge,
 And lightnings strike the darkness of the wood:
 Enchantress, bless our cline. No bloom of dewy morn, No freshly-blossomed thorn, H. The day wastes drearily, through cloud and sleet
 Over the watered meadows and stark wales The night comes down impetuous and fleet, And ships and cities shiver in the gales: O fair Enchantress, rise. Arise and bring with thee The rathe bud for the tree, healin sunshine for the trampled grass ;; Loose tendrils for the boughs which bless the caves, And shield the swallows in the rainy hours, The pendent flames which the laburnum And faint scents for the wind-stirred lilac flowers.
 Enchantress, breathe and pass. Men knew, and kissed, of old, Thy garments glittering fold Thy radiant footprint on the mead or waste Earth kindled at thine advent-altars burned
 And ringing cymbals bade the hearths be gay; But now, in sunless solitudes inurned, Thou leav'st the world unto reluctant day. haste, Enchantress. haste The larks shall sink again, Between the sun and rain, The brown bee through the lowered pastures roam, There shall be music in the frozen woods, gurgling carol in the rushing brook, An odor in the half -unbosomed bud, And dancing fox-gloves in each forest nook;
 Then, come, Enchantress, come.

CoLD QUARrERs.-On the arrival at New York, few days since, of the steamer Southampton, from Jersey, the agent observed cats tail protruding from the ornamental star on the paddle box. On examination, the ships cat was found to be inside, half dead from cold and wet. It is supposed that the animal got into the paddle-box before the boat left Jersey in search of rats, and, on the wheel beginning to turn. jumped on a piece of board one-half inch thick, to which she clung during the voyage, the wheel revolving about four inches from her nose. Poor puss was promptly rescued. -

Oysters are in perfection when from five to seven years old. An oysterman can tell the age of a bivalve by count ing the successive layers or plates overlapping each other, each of which is termed shoot, and indicates a years growth. Judging from the size and thickness which some shells attain, an oyster may be capable of arriving at tho respectable age of three.score and not be the MethNselah of his tribe then.
