_ Maniago.Ilfc.
* ~~ " .*
To those who are experiencing the joys
and comforts <uyf a married life, "the modus
operandi of their vocation is respgptfully given.
A modern easayest *>f distinction has
thus described* the two classes of married
and unmarried people.
' The Bachelor,** he says, " is in possession
of ovory thing, while he is forced, in j
consideration of necessity, to no absolute expense.
. On tho other hand, tho man that Is
married fa necessitated to buy all tilings and
possesses nothing." Tins old assertion he
endeavors to explafn by a scries of nrgu-"
mcnts. But the exposition of one dhly may
suffice the fastidious and thinking -part of
the community. a For the former," savs he..
- nuvn hi ?* "?? ?> v?iiii nuiucicni room ana
n comfortable neat. Be.t the other goes in
his carringo with hi* family, so densely
crowtjfwl as to be miserably deprived of the
enjoyment of his friends in the state of singlo
blessedness." And forewarns all young
people to be careful how they should net
with regard to making a change of their fortunes
in life.
Is it not a little to be wondered nt, thai
. even tho learflod wita of the present time,
should be infutunted with some mistaken
opinions of their, own begetting* as that by
such pitiful arguments they think to prove
rhcir point and luivc a multitude of followers.
For, although, so much real enjoyment as
to he fcund bein the circle of almost every
family, is not so easily described, as it is
to recognised, yet nothing seems so manifest
as this. " That "there is more enjoyment
and satisfaction in a married than in un
unmarried state of life." As tho morning
light strikes illumination in their peaceful
dwellings they rise from the couch of slumber
and TlinoKH with iimnv .nilt.m ?.f hI.iiu
, ? J - ? I""'"ure
add feeling of tender associations.
They humbly kneel ground the throne of
grace together, Together join in sweet
eommnnion nnd implore the king of Heaven
to bless their basket and their store. From
tho contemplation of these Mtarenly joys
they repair forthwith, to perform the respee
ivc duties assigned them in this life.
"Toiling, rejoicing, onward tluough life
they go?while each morning sees some
task begun, and evening sees it close."
What can mar the felicity of husband and
w'ife, who, from purer motives of affection,
wish always to extenuate each others faults
nnd always try to please!
They rise at morning's light,
lUjtire at evening's close,
Ever since the wedding night
Gay as the blooming rose.
While we admlro their eonecrt of aetion
?and tho noblq qualities of their minds :?
while we seek to" imitate tlieir examples
and long to practice their social virtues,
calmly and quietly leaving the solemn scene
of aacred wedlock they have reached the
sumiMt of happiness and look down upon tho
' ii'yxm nate enemies ytmr wire wilt Be a
friend; if you have distress you will feel her
sympathies; if you are perplexed she will
give you her council; and if you have prosperity
she will retoiee in your bounties. Her
friendship is degr, her conversation is anlivenher
manner is persuasive and her feel
,.1,3 ivii^ciiim iu yonr own. m
In the Is.r.gTiagn of Holy Writ, "Thcv
,twnin are become one flesh." Woman was
made and given for a blessing to man " to
unite with him and shnre his cares-' But
the spoken of Bachelors duflh ctiically opposite
to these happy pair are^yft alone in
gloomy solitude, are Hving in blanks in
God's creation are breaking the law of universal
toleration, and are suffering the just
troatmen of inseparable loss from the ab
senee of woman. Will yon not therefore
^ nnsten to embrace the object of enduring
love and to be united in one common forttaho?
* '
For themnny charges'and multifarinns employments
of life arc such as indispensihly
call for tho union of man and Wife. The
oiruiiyer sex 10 uciena, cherish nnd support
while the easy duty of the p.f.misd rci.cur.nrima
is to supperintend nnd make this life
GLORiusus 15 re." There is not to be found,
elsewhere, love so pure?company so sweet
union, nnd life so charming?
As blood conveys nourishment to every
part of the body, nnd supports the whole system
of vitality : even so woman united to
man gives him strength and makes his
life complete. For there exists between
both husband and wife nn union of body nnd
soul so closely linked together, Hint nothing
but death can break the tender chords of affection
and so sipatute th >m for ever.

While however I have my pen in band,
I will let you know something of my
whereabouts. m notice my address is
C. F. College. If my memory serves me a
night some three years ago, the citizens
1 of this community concluded to make (
; something considerable of this place.
The College is n very commodiouq aiul j
M agnificcnt building situated ten miles
north of Wadcsborough on the Salisbury j
road. It stands in a very pretty eminenee
al?out one. huudrea^'ards from said road. ^
It has advantages over most of the semi-!
naries of the sort in the Southern States,
for it snlubriousness, having a very fine
Spring of Mineral water linrd bye, no doubt
possessing some offiensious medicinal pro- I
penalties yet it has not been analysed.
This Institution eomtneneed its exorcise* I
on the 8tii Jan. 1821, and I may venture I
to say that no institution ever commonoed j
and pmgrossM under more favorable or j
auspicious circumstances. There are now i
some 108 or 8 pupils in C-ollege, hailing j
t'nom various parts of this and other other j
States. It is said to conceive of a mom
Iteautiful and captivating scenery than
the one you might see l?v calling on us i
here about the going down of tho sun.
imagine you see some fitly or seventy-five

sumcd, particularly where leoine to speak |
of the faculty. Mr. Editor, perhaps you 1
know from character the President, Mr.
T. It. Walsh, lie is doubtly <jnitc an nhlo
and useful survivor. Ho w affable, courteous
instructive, nnd ju9t the person to fill
a station so nsponsil >le aa the one the
people of this neighborhood in their wisdoms
choose. He no doubt gives universal
satisfaction, and tlio young ladies
say "his look Is enough to cause them ,
to love ami fear him.
The liov. A. lb Smith, formerly of j
Wadeflboro,' as Protestor of the language,
his character aa a scholar and divine is
so well known that they need hut little ,
comments. Ho ia at once of undoubted
mental ability, none letter calculated to
win the confidence nnd admiration of his
class and congregation. I am sincerely
sorry to report him in very feeble health,
tie- only thing in anywise calculated to
disqualify him for his professorship. T
earnestly hope tliat he may soon l?c restored
to his wonted health that he may |
long live an assistant of this Institution
nnd country, if consistent with the great
.Ruler of the Heaven and earth. I sincerely
regret his indisposition. Mr. Make
is Professor of Mathematics, ho is quite a
young man, nevertheless lar advanced in
mental attainments, most indubituljy weft |1
calculated to fill his station, a man of pro-1
manners', anfl in most assured-1(
iy of undoubted mural character, and bids ' <
fair to become very useful to society. May '
lie long live. The Female Tutoresses of 1

by striking of tho pen-lever at the same
