suited to the nature of the man 4; and
any intellectual gifts on the part of the
woman are likely to be more attractive

and even, as more than one young man,
without home, or birth, or fortune, is a
marble column which sustains a temple

so you may find satisfied and opulent
man of the world, with polished boots
and vanished speech, who, if you look
not at the exterior, but the interior,
that is to say, at what is reserved for
the wife, is nothing but a stupid jOist,
darkly haunted, violent by impure and
debauched passions the sign-post of

A CORRESPONDENT at East Windsor
Hill, Ct., has Just learned OF the cOlored
peoples republic of Liberia, IN Africa,
and wonders if the coIored people know
that for 800 one may have passage to
Liberia, six months board, and % acres
of land. As pictured by him, the little
republic is quite an Utopia. The soil IS
rich; valuable crops, coffee, sugar, palm
oil, ETC., flourish finely, and find ready
sale; the climate is pleasant and health
full for Africans; schools and churches
are numerous, and the government IS well
established and wholly in the hands OF
Africans.
