A Model of a True Wife.
Nothing can be moio touching than to '
behold a soft and tender female who had 1
been all weakness and dependance, while 1
"treading the prosperous paths of life, suil denly
rising in mental force, to be the comforter
and supporter of her husband under
misfortune, and abiding with unshrinking
lirmness the bitterest blasts of adversity. :
As the vino which has long twined its graceful
foliage about the oak, and been lifted
by it into sunshine, will, when the hardy
plant is rifted by the thunderbolt, cling
around it with its caressing tendrils, and
bind up its shattered boughs ; so it is beautifully
ordered by Providence that woipan,
who is the mere dependant and ornament of
man in ms nappier uours, snouiu L>e ins stay
nnd solace when smitten with siulden calamity;
winding herself into the rugged re
cesses of his nature, tenderly supporting the
drooping head, and binding up the broken
heart. There is no greater blessing on earth
to man than a true and affectionate wife.
What does the Bible say ? "who can find a
virtimiic wnmon linr iq fu*? olmun fit.
bies." If. you are prosperous, there she is to
share 3'our prosperity; if otherwise, there
she is to comfort you. And indeed I have
observed that a married man, falling into
misfortune, is more apt to retrieve his situation
in the world than a single 011c; partly
because ho is stimulated to exertion by the
necessities of the helpless and beloved ones
who depend upon him for subsistence ; but
chiefly because his spirits arc soothed and
relieved by domestic endearments, and his
self respect is kept alive by finding, that
although all abroad is darkness and humiliation,
there is still a little world of l6ve at
home, of which he is the monarch. Wherefts
ft single man is apt to run to waste and
self-neglect; to fancy himself lonely and
abandoned, and his heart to fall into ruin
like some deserted mansion for want of an
inhabitant.
Those remarks call to mind a little domestic
story. Mr. W., my friend and relative,
had married a beautiful and accomplished
young lady, who had been brought
up in the midst of fashionable life. She
had it is true, no fortune, but that.of her
husband's was ample, and lie delighted in
the anticipation of indulging her in every
elegant pursuit, and administering to all her
wants.
The very difference in their characters
produced an harmonious combination ; he
was of a romantic, and somewhat of a serious
cast; she was all life and gladness. I
liavo often noticed the mute rapturo with
which hft r?n7fl nnnn linr in onmiwm
.. n 1 ? v .r.v,
of which her sprightly powers made her the
delight. And when leaning on his arm,
her slender form contrasted finely with his
tall manly person. The fond con6ding air
with which she looked up to him, seemed
to call forth a flush of triumphant pridw
and cherishing tenderness, as if he doated
on his lovely burthen for.'-ito; very helplessness.
Never did a couple SQt'forth; in life,
with a brighter prospect of felicity.
It was the misfortune, however, of Mr.
W. to go into largo speculations, and in a
few months his fortune was exhausted, and
he found himRfilf olm/wit nonnnr
? f * V J
For a time he kept bis situation to himself
and went about with a haggard countenancc,
and a breaking heart His life was a protracted
agony, his wife soon saw with the
eyes of quick affection that all was not well
with her husband; she marked bis altered
looks and stifled sighs, and was not to be
deceived by his forced attempts to cheerfultaess.
She tasked all her sprightly powers
and tender blandishments to win him bacl
to happiness; but she only drove the ar
Vow deeper into his heart, the more he sa\i
cause lo lore, and the more torturing ww
the thought that he was ooon to make hei
wretched.
A little while thought he, and that swee
smile will vanish from thy glowing cheek
the songs Hove to bear will die sway fron
those dear lips; the lustre of those born
itig eye* #ill soon be quenched with sor
row; and the happy heart which nowbeat
so lightly in thy snowy bpeotn be w?ighe<
down like mine with the troubles, cares, an<
miseries of tbis wofrld. *

it of tears.
"For God's sake!" cried he, "if you Lave
my pity on me, don't mention my wife; it
is the thought of her that drives me almost
to madness."
"And why not? " said I, "she must know
it, sooner or later; you cannot keep it long
from her; and besides you aro depriving
yourself of the comforts of her sympathy;
she will soon perceive that something is secretly
preying upon jour mind, and true
love will not brook resrvc; it feels undervalued
and outraged ?hen the sorrows of
those it loves are coiiowled from it."
"Oh ! but my frieni to think what a
death blow I am to gi* her future pros
pects, how I am to strte lier very soul to
the earth by telling I*r that her husband
is a beggar, llow cas -'he bear it ? how
can she bear neglccti^e who has been
made the idol of soci^j the delight of all
who knew her. 0:' it will break her
heart?it will break klicart!" I saw his
grief was eloquent, d I let it have its
flow; for sorrow relit?? itself by words.
When his paroxysrliad ceased, I resumed
tlm subject gentlynd begged him to
disclose his situation once to his wife.
He shook his head narufully and positively.
"But how are y?to keep it from her ?'?
said I, "it is necesaa'slie should know it,
that you may take fpper steps to the alternation
of your cifistances. Surely it
uoes noi require a ;jcu 10 oe nappy with
your Matty."
"I could be liapr with her," cried he
convulsively, "in a lei?I could go down
with her iuto poverand the very dust?
I could ! I could ! od bless her! God
bless her!" cried libursting into a flood :
of grief and t<mdcss.
"And bciievapanfly friend, believe- me,
she can be thewfiftitli you. Aye, more,
it will be a source pride and triumph to
her ; for she will ree to prove to you that
sho loves you for yown merit and self.
There is in every twoma's heart a spark
of heavenly fire, v\!i lies dormant in the

kindles up, beams, J blazes in the dark
hour of adverftity. o man knows what
the wife of his bos is, until he has gone
with her througic fiery trials of this
world."
The next time met he had made the
disclosure to bis \ "And how did she
bear it ? " said I.
"Like an $ngel: seemed rather to be a
relief to hcrftincbr she threw her arms
arounu m)' oeCK,. asked it tins was all
that had lately o mo so unhappy; but
poor thing/'Sdde, "she cannot realize

When wo dbmeactically to experience
its sordid carea,p;iltry wants, then will

"But," sgid Idw that you have got

. perfectly {^9p3 he bad no false pride
himself, awjlRliis wife, she was only
nnxious to COti] to bis altered fortunes.
I saw him p days afterwards, he had
disposed gf^bvelling and all his fine fur|

"Das sbc then repined nt tho change 1"
said I. *
"Repined ! no I she has been nothing but
sweetness and good humor, indeed, sbc
seems in better spirits than I have ever
known her; she has been to me all love,
tenderness and comfort."
"Admirable girl !" said I, "you call yourself
poor, my friend; you never was so rich ;
you never knew beforo the boundless treasures
of excellence you possessed iu that woman."
"Oh 1 my friend, if this first meeting
at the cottage were but only over, I then
could be comfortable. But this is her first
day of real experience; she has been introduced
into an humble dwelling, she has been
all day engaged in arranging its menial
equipments, sho has for the first time felt
the fatigues of domestic employments, she
has for the first time looked around her on
a home destitute of every thing elegant, and
of almost every thing convenient. She
may now be sitting down spiritless and
exhausted, brooding over a prospect of future
poverty."
There was a degree of probability in this
picture which I could not gainsay. So we
walked on in silence. At length we came
in sight of the cottage; it was humble enough
for the most pastoral poet; ^nd yet
it bad a pleasing and rural appearance. A
wild vine had overrun one end, aud a few
tree9 threw their branches gracefully over
the other, there were several pots of flowers
tastefully arranged about the door. Just as
we approached, we heard the sounds of music
; he grasped my band and stopped to
listen?it was Matty's voice, singing in a
style of the most touching simplicity, a little
air of which her huaband was peculiarly
fond. I felt his hand tremble in mine.
He stepped forward to hear more distinctly ;

bright beautiful face glanced out at the window
and vanished; a light footstep was
heard, and Matty came tripping forth to
meet us. She was in a pretty gown of
white; a few flowers were twined in her
fine hair, and a fresh bloom on her cheek.
I had never seen her look more beautiful
and lovely before.
"My dear George," cried she, "I am so

fond of them; every thing seems so still

here."
'Poor George wa3 overcome ; he caught
her to liis bosom and folded-her in his arm?,
kissed her again and again?he could not
speak; but the tears gushed from his eyes,
and he has often assured me, that though
the world, has gone prosperously with him
ever since and his life has indeed been a
happy one, yet never has he experienced a
moment of more etquisite felicity than he
did the evening of the meeting at the
cottage. C. M. W.

Mr. Editor: I have heard much said of
"reform," "reform" I have discuesed the
matter fully apd oflen in my neighborhood
?even in your town. Although I am aware
that what I have to say will meet with
your dissent, yet knowing your desire to do
anything that will advance the interests of
town, district, or State, I submit to you for
publication, should you deem them worthy,
the following riews.
If you desire to know the tru& secret of
Carolina's, supineness And indifference to
enterpri#?nd associations for the advance
ment of ner prosperity or the development
of her resources, examine, I beseech you,
th# polioy of thp State, differing from that

(o his own individual promotion. I do not
, wish to be considered among thoso who arc
in tho habit constantly of depreciating the
usefulness and intelligence of this class of
. men, but I ask simply because it is a fact,
( why is it that while there are not more than
ten or twelve lawyers in our District, out of
a votinp population of thirteen or fourteen
< hundred, it would puzzle any one, even "the
oldest it.habitant," to say when we have
been without one of that small classiin our
legislative delegation 1 I can tell you why.
By whom are our Chancellors, our Judges,
our Solicitors, even our Commissioners in
Equity?a District officer?our Governors,
elected? By the Legislature. Very well,
then; you will admit we are all victims of
the common human passion?nrubition. A
lawyer aspires to the bench, would like to
be Solicitor, or Commissioner in Equity?
the first step he takes is to go to the Legislature,,"get
in with the members;" find out
who are aspirants for other offices; courts
and civries favor with the strong and infiu- ]
ential; and when this is done, gives two or
threo other aspirants to understand that if
they nnd their friends will support him, his
friends will heartily reciprocate the favor.
That I may not appear invidious, I must
say, corrupt and ambitious planters can
reach the Gubernatorial chair by the same
process when, should their pretensions be
submitted to the people, they would never
for a moment even approach that position,
if reserved as a reward at the hands of the
people for meritorious public servants.
According to our present system, men
look not to the people, but to the Legislature.
Hence, contemplate anything that
purports to be an improvement in the ag
ncuiiurai or meciinmcal department of our
State, and see how lightly it is tieated by
those who feel independent of the people for
promotion. It has been desirable to establish
a District Agricultural Association to
meet semi-annually, also a Town Association
!o meet monthly. How many lawyers
have manifested any interest in either of
theni 1 I know of but one. No, sir, they
are more disposed to laugh at them, or oppose
them by their learned predictions of
failure, than otherwise. I do uol blame
them, but ourselves, for permitting the continuation
of a system that produces naturally
these results. Ambition conies from
the hand of God, and belongs to the human
family; when properly guarded and
governed, it is a far more powerful instru
ment for the promotion of the public good
than the simple quality of benevolence or
philanthropy, because more active and
stimulating; but when unbridled, rarely
docs it stop to consider the propriety of
means, but rather their effectiveness, for accomplishing
their aim for distinction. Our
policy leaves ambition without the proper
restraints and dependencies ; it feels no dependence
upon the people, and can disregard
them and their interests with impunity.
It has arrived at that point now, that
men regard it as a feather in their cap not
to notice "the democracythey even regard
it ns an evidence of the spirit of "7G to
keep their fellow citizens at arms' length.
Adopt a new order of things and see how
long it would be before these ''independenta"
would "about face;" and instead of
rnnninn* rlnwn fn PnlnmKiQ Atfnvtr onooinn
a ... -'--J
to Mget in with the members ," associating
freely with the people, giving them the
benefit of their intelligence and experience:
discussing public questions with them ; and
when anything is contemplated to elevate
and! improve agricultural and mechanical
industry, or enlighten the people, putting
their shoulders to the wheels, like clever
fellows, and laboring for its success, ardently
and earnestly.
I am, sir, for changing this policy. I
am for giving" elections to the people. I
ardently hope the people will use the power
our republican form of Government has
placed in their bands for enforcing a proper
regard for their interest#.
Twenty thousand adults in our State
are finable to read or write; and although
the voice* of our Legislators have been
raised with force and eloquence, but as yet
with fruitless results, urging forward a Common
School system, nothing has been, nor
Ilenr will be done, until the people, by
assuming power, and making themselves
the distributors of all offices, command
proper reapici for their necessities. Our
Legislators go to Columbia and return;

deferred it and deferred it, looking to the
election of themft^res or offioers, until, before
tbev are aware of it, the session closes
and nothing is done.
Every lover of his country must seo the
necessity of doing something; and if it be
desirable that something -should be dope
auicWv and well; the way to do it is to enlist
the aid of the intelligent and aspiring men,
by placing a bridie upon their ambition^

Wo find in the Spartanburg Express a
short account of tho Railroad Convention
at Ashville, N. C., from which it appears
that everything passed off with great harmony,
and much to the satisfaction and enjcouragement
of the friends of this great
project.
The convention met on Wednesday, tho
11th instant. On motion of Gen. James
Rogers, of South Carolina, Hou. N. W.
Woodfin, of North Carolina, was called to
the chair. A committee was appointed to
report suitable officers, whereupon they reported
for President, lion. B. S. Gaither, of
North Carolina, together with six Vice

x icaiucius, iwo irom eaeti ot the States?
South Carolina, North Carolina and Tennessee.
The Vice Presidents from South
Carolina were Col. Thoa. P. Brockman and
Thos. B. Jeter, Esq. The President, on taking
his seat, made an appropriate and eloquent
address, explanatory of the object and
importance of the meeting, and the enterprise
before it.
On motion of Hon. Daniel Wallace, of
South Carolina, a committee of eleven was
appointed to prepare business for the convention?which
committee consisted of Hon.
D. Wallace, T. P. Brockman, Gabriel Cannon
and Hon. Waddy Thompsou, from
South Carolina; Alexander E.Smith, Gen.
McCraugbev, Dr. James F. Broylcs, Dr.
Carriger, from Tennessee; and Hon. N. AV.
Woodfin, Hon. John Baxter and Dr. C.
Mills, from North Carolina^
The Committee having retired for con- ,
sultatioo, letters were read from Judge O'- ,
Neall and other distinguished men. ;
The Committee agreed in a short while
upon a report recommending a common
trunk through the mountain, so aa to rec- i
oncile the conflicting interests in South Car- (
olina, which was unanimously and cordial- |
ly adopted. The report further exhibits iu ,
full the importance and eutire practicability j
of the project and covers the whole subject.
Our friend and informaut was unable
to procure a copy, but it will be published ^
in due time, when we shall with great pleas- (
ure lay it before our readers. I
During the Convention, apeeches were (
delivered by Gen. McCraughey, of Tennesssee;
Hon. Waddy Thompson, Gen. Gaaberrv,
and Gen. Rogers of South Carolina;
and by Gen. Edney, and Hon. John Bax- i
ter, of North Carolina. J

meeting. The wisdom and liberality of the
various delegations from South Carolina, (
deserves a grateful acknowledgment at the (
hands of their constituents. By their en- ,
lightened and liberal policy they blended '
our interests together.?Henceforth we will j
hear no more of the Greenville, or Laurens, j
or Spartanburg, but the rallying cry will be
the French Broad Railroad. Our O'Nealls, j
Perrins, Simpsons, Garlingtons, Youngs, j
Wallaces, Bobos, aud Cannous, can now all (
work together as friends and brothers in a
common cause?in behalf of the commercial j
interests of the South.

Furman University?Address of GoL Orr.
This distinguished .gentleman, on yester- j
da}', delivered an address before the literary
societies of the Furman University, the j
students, faculty and trustees of the institution,
and a large and biilliant assembly of '
ladies and gentlemen, in the new and ca- ,
pricious hall of the court house just con- (
sf r if of &r\ T t nroc <? ?<
? Ituw vww UIOI/ uiuciiu^ Ui iiuy
kind ever assembled in the building. Before
the speaker was introduced, the Rev. Wra. *
B. Johnson, D. D., according to the an- (
nouDccment, offered up an appropriate pray- |
er to Almighty God.
The address was an able one ; the speaker
discussing principally the superiority of |
the University system over the College plan. i
To us the argument was conclusive, and we ,
presume it was so to many who heard it. {
The recommendation of the early establish- ,
ment of a law school and medical depart- |
ment in the University, we trust, will be j
carried out by the Trustees. That has al- ,
ways been the intention.
Col. Orr alluded, in the beginning of his j
address, to the death of Professor Minis,
and to the death of some of the students,
in a most feeling and eloquent ntanner.
The tribute to Professor Mims was felt (
by all to have been merited and becoming
tbe occasion, as likewise the allusion to the
untimely death of those young men who ,
have been taken away in the mid6t of their ,
preparation for the duties of life
We presume the addrefw will be publish- <
ed and read generally in the State, and that I
it will make an impression. On one subject,
especially, it will doubtless elicit much
disctieeion. We allude to thfl argument in
favor of the State appropriating money, annually
to all the denominational colleges
of the State. We cannot honour in the.
propriety of the eoheme, and think thqre '
are many weighty objections to it** We exto.discuss
