Cabit' Dqprment. TOO KMA LOVERS WILL PUZZLE A MAID. TouNa Susan had lovers ao many, that she Hardly knew on which to decide; They all spoke sincerely, aDd promised to be All worthy of such a sweet bride. In the-morning she'tl gossip with William, and then The moon would be spent with young Harry, The evening with Tom; so among all the men, She never could tell which to marry. lleigh ho! I', afraid Too many lovers will puzzle a maid. Now William grew jealous and went away; Harry got tired of wooing; And Ton having teazed her to fix on the day, Receive.l but a frown for so doing; So among all her lovers, quite left in the lurch, ;he pined every night on her pillow, And meeting one day a pair going to church, Turned away, and died inder a willow. Heigh ho! I'm afraid Too many lovers will puzzle a maid. I00 THE EEAUTIFUL SEAISTRESS. Sui sits by the window, sewing all day, With a quiet and winning grace; And oft from my chamber over the way, I gaze on her beautiful face. She busily plies her need!c and thread, And always tidy and neat; She's sprightly and modest, nor lies late abed, And seldom is seen on the street. When down on the floor she gracefully goes, While her patterns before her lie, I'd lie on the floor myself, heaven knows, For a glance of her bright eye. Her lot is too low for lovers who woo For coffers of silver and gold: But she has a heart, and energy too, That are better a thjousandfuld. ,Now often I wish she'd lay her work by, Nor labor so hard all the day For I fear it will dim the bonny biright eye Of my neighbor over the way. FEMATE EDUCATION. No woman is educated, says Burknap, who is not equal to the successful manage ment of a family. Although it does not re quire so much to rule a household as it does to govern a State, still it requires talent of the same kind. As he makes the best gene ra' who has begun at the lowest post, and passed up through every grade of office, so he makes the best admiral who entered the navy in the most inferior station; because, they, and they alone are acquainted with the whole compass of a subaltern's duty so that woman will manage a family with the greatest ease and efficiency, who knows experimentally the duties of every member obf it. Daughters who neglect this part of eda eation are entirely without excuse, and their mothers are still more to blame. The very .apology which is often made for the neglect of it, is the greatest condemnation of those who offer it. It is said by those w"ho are a-e growing up in ignorance of those things, "Any one can learn how to keep house when it i's necessary. And one wvho loves he'r husband, and is devoted to his interests, wvill make herself accomplished in those things after she is married." As wvell-might the young man say, " O,-what use is it for me to learn a profession or make myself ac qiiainted with the details of my business?1 W~hen I am married, if [ love my wife, it wtill then be time enough to learn a profes sion or to accomplish myself in the details of business." Would there be any surer omen' of total- failure and discomfiture I That wvhich a w~oman can learn to do under the tuition of love, can certainly be learned to much greater advantage, under the tuition of a mother. If it is all so easy to learn, then certainly they are utterly inexcusable who neglect it. It is no degradation to the finest lady to know all the details of domestic affairs. It is honorable and ought to be her pride. A woman, though she may be as beautiful as the morning, as wise as Minerva, and as ac complished as thle Graces, ought to know the details of house affairs. hMARRILD .IFE.-Julitls Moser gives the followving counsel, from a w ife and mother: "I try to make myself andl all around me agreeable. It will not do to leave a man no pains to, attract him, or to appear before him wvith a long face. It is not so didlicult as you think, dear child, to behave to a hus band so that hie shall remain forever in some measure a husband. I anm an old woman, b~ut you can still do wvhat you like : a word from you at the right time will not fail of its effect. What need have you to play the suffering virtue. The tear of a loving girl, says an old book, is like the dew drop on the rose ; but that on the cheek of a wife is a drop of poison to her husband. Try to appear cheerful and contented, and your liusband will be so; and when you have miade him bappy, you will become Eo, not in appearance, but in reality. Th le skill re quired is not so great. Nothing flatters a man so much as the liappiness of his wife : lhe is always proud of himself as the source of it. As soon as you are cheerful you will lie lively and alert, and every moment- will afford you an op portunity to let fall an agreeable word. Your education, which gives you an im mense advantage, will greatly assist you; and your sensibility wvill become the no blest gift that nature has bestowved on you, when it shows itself in affectionate assidui ty, and stamps on every action a soft, kind, and tender character,. instead of wasting itself in scret repinings." WOMA was doubtless made to~ soothe the sorrows of ma'n! For wvhat sound so musical as her soft kind voice, when the heart of man sunk in deep despondency, or overwhelmed with life's bitter cares, draws in upon itself, and feeds upon its griefs, and wraps about it that heavy drapery which shuts it from. the- outer worlil! The very toces in which her words of kindness elothe themselves have a powier so nearly allied to celestial influence that she may wvell be called his angel! A ministering spirit from a better, purer world-pouring the cordial of her unselfish love into his bosom, and leading him. by her example of humility, forbearance,, charity, and hope, to throw off his earthly dross and anticipate the bliss of Hleavon!I A LEssoN FOR SCOLDING WIVEs.-" ADxl I dare say you have-scolded your wife very often,. Newman,"-said I once. Old Newman looked down, and his wife looked up to reply " Never to signify-and' if he has,. I de servo it !" "And I dare say, if the truth were told,. you have scolded him qpite as often." "-a"said the old woman, with a beau. ty of kuidness which all the- poetry in the world eannot excel. " How can a wife acold bergwood man, who has bieen working for her and her little ones all the day? It may do for a man to be pevish, for it is he who bears the crosses of the world, but who should make him forget them but his owr wife? And she had best for her own sake, for nobody can scold much when the scold ing is all on one side." aDIES DEWARE, The annexed nine cautions to young la. dies are almost as important as the ten com mandnents laid down in the good book We quote them for the benefit of our young and unsophisticated maiden readers, wh< may not yet have "told" their love; anc who will, we trust, pay due attention to th< sound advice here given, ore they tie the "silken cord," for better or for worse. 1. Never marry for wealth, never make money an object of marriage.-" Wilt thot set thine eyes upon that which is not ?" A man's life consisteth not in the things whic he possesseth. 2. Never marry a fop, or one who struti about dandy-like in his silk gloves and ruf fles, with silvered cane, and rings on his flu gers. Beware! there is a trap! 3. Never marry a niggard, a closefisted mean, sordid wretch, who saves every pen ny, or spends grudgingly.-Take care, lee he stint you to death.-Beware of the trap 4. Never marry a stranger, or one whost character is not known or tested. Some fe m:les jump right into the fire with their eye. open. 5. Never marry a mope or a drone, on< who drawls and draggles through life, on foot after another, and lets things take theii course.-" Drowsiness shall clothe a man ii rags." 6. Never marry a man who treats hi mother or sister unkindly or indifIerently such treatment is a sure indication of : mean and wieked heart. And a young mat guilty of such meanness, will never make r good husband. Beware! ladies beware Do you see a young man attentive, aflfee tionate to his aged mother and his siters attentive to all their wants with filial lov and tenderness, virtuous, pure and lovely i his deportment, fear not, his worth is abova rubies. 7. Never, on any account, marry a gain bier, a spend-thrift, a Sabbath-breaker, a pro fane person, one who in the least speak lightly or carelessly of God, and holy things Such a man, whatever qualifications he nma% possess, can never make a true husband. Beware. 8. Never marry a sloven, a man who ii negligent of his person aid- dress, and o filthyhbabits. Theexternal appearanceofter indicates the state of the mind and heart With the pure all things are pure. 9. Shun the rake as a snake, a viper, or : demon. TO MY CIGAR. Oh ! talk not to me of my charming young mnises With checks like the ruby and teeth like the pearl Eyes sparkling with mischief-and lips pouting fo kisses, While love lurks beneath each encireling curl. Though these I admire-still claiming no merit For candor, my failing, I here will declare ; And, oh !blame not, for the vi':e I inherit, I admire, much more, my "hIavana Cigar." For beauty will fade, and eyes lose their brightness Soft cheeks their carnation, as time glides away The voice its lov'd sweetness, the footstep its ligh ness Till we know not to-morrow the wrec~lif to-da' While I in miy study in comfort reclining, Weep not that time'&s visits leave many a scar, Nor regret that the world and its joys Im resignin1 As I press to miy lips my " Havana Cigar." Should a friend prove unfaithtful, I only thank Ilet ven, And soon will my sorrows all end but in awoke; Should sickness appear, .Eseulapins has given The true "-Esculapio" all ills to evoke. Then why should I sigh for love's trials and glorie If content with the fate that the gods have di creed ; I ne'cr was a poet, to sing love's falso stories, Nor c'er ask'd a mistress, but one-" the dar weed." Still one word, gentle reader-be gentle with reaso And blame not the feelings I here have express' Nor charge my wild muse with discoursing love treason, Love ne'er has been known in my bachelor breas For a wanderer I've travell'd, oft scorned and e scorning, And friendship and love ever found lbut a star That twinkled at night, to be lost in the morning, While my only true friend was m'y faithful Ciga HAlrR YOURSELF AT HOME. Old Merry wvas a candidate for the offic of representative in one of the counties< the Old Dominion, and wvas a man of wealtl and had some considerable pretensions t the etiquette of the class of gentry know as the " Old Virginia gentlemen"-in othe wvords, he was a genuinze F. F. V. He we not above the practice of those little atter tions to the canaille, now so often stoope to by the candidates for office, especiallyi a close race. His neighbor-in-law, Bill Hodge, one of the electors of the counta was a plain old farmer, belonging, wve sur pose, by the rule of ratiocinationi, to the oi der of S. F. V. H~e was, moreover, a ma: of hzorse sense, and hearing that his neighbo Merry had become a candidate for the Legit lature,. anid being of different politics, 1h concluded to kill off~ his new born courtesj by putting it to the torture of a severe tria Accordingly, choosing a day wh'len lie knet his friend Merry had several visitors at hi house,, he repaired thither, and bialloed a the gate.. TLhis soon br-oughat Mr. Merry wit] your humble servant sort of a smile on hi countenance. He invited him in, and it being very wvarni weather, asked him to take a seat in thi piazza, wvhere many of his male visitors wer< sitting. He bowed and scraped around bin a good deal, hoping to gain his good will anid make himi a proselyte- to his iinterests it the election, and insisted that he should maki himself comfortable, just as he wcould a home. Old Billy put on the most awk ward ap pearance he possibly could, turned about time or two,. then took off' his coat and sat down. The attention of Mr. Merry, as ma~ be supposed, did not cease, and. presenitly he asked his neighbor to' take a drink of wine, wvhich he did!. " Take a seat, Mr. Hodge,. take a seat," said Mr. Merry ; "make yourself quite easy, and do just as you would at home."' "Thank'ee," said Hlodge, "I anm doing very wvell, only my shoes are a little uncom tortable, so I believe I'll. take 'em~ off" and suiting the action to the word, off they caime. Mr. Merry looked a little astonished, but said nothin"g Presently Mr. Hodge divested. himself! of his jump jacketi, as he called it, at the same time obseruing : " I hope I don't intrude, but its so-uncom "Not at all, not at all," said Mr. Merry; "I like to see my friends comfortable;" at the same time he inwardly consigned him to a place where he would loose his right to citizenship in this country. At length old Billy, apparently overcome with heat, stepped to one end of the piazza, and quietly divested himself of his bieeches, observing at the same time, "most allers took off his breeches when about the house, at home, in warm weather." The first hint Mr. Merry had of the move, was old Billy walking by him, fauning him self with the skirt (!) of his shirt. In a mo ment all the honors of the office of repre sentatives faded from his mind, and seizing Billy by the collar of his shirt, and gave him a kick which sent him at least a part of his way home, tlgowing his shoes, breeches, coat, and jump jacket after him. The next day the editor of the country paper got a letter declaring his withdrawal from the can. vass by Mr. Merry, and to this day his brow is unshaded by the civic wreath, and his deeds unsung by the bards of his country. The above is founded on fact, and the par ties are living to this day. If it has any mor al, we leave you to find it out and apply it. NO USE FOR TROWSEES NOW. On the morning or the meteor shower, in 1833, old Peyton Roberts, who intended ma king an early start to his work, got up in the midst of the display. On going to his door, he saw, with amazement, the sky lighted up with the fialing meteors, and he concluded at once that the world was on fire, and that the day of judgment had come. lie stood for a moment gazing in speech. less terror at the scene, and then, with a yell of horror, sprang out of the door into the yard, right into the midst of the falling stars, and here, in his efforts to dodge them, he commenced a series of ground and lofty I tumbling that would have done honor to a tight-rope dancer. His wife being awakened in the mean time, and seeing old Peyton I jumping and skipping about the yard, culled out to him to know " What in the namnic o'sense lie was doin' out thar, dancin' around thar, without his clothes on?" But Peytoni heard not. The judgment an1d the long black accounts he would have to settle, nade him heedless of all terrestrial things; and his wife, by this time, becoming alarmled at his strange behavior, sprang out of bed, and running to the door, shrieked out at the top of her lungs Peyton! I say, Peytou! whalmt do you r mnean, ji ni's' about out thar ? Come in and I put yotir trowsers ont." Old Peyton, whose fears had now over come him, faintly answered, as lie fell spraw ling upon the earth, " Oh I Peggy, Peggy, don't you see-e-e the w-o-r-l-d's a-fi-r-e ? Thar ain't no use for tro-ow-sers now!" Mn. TwoMBLv's MlrrrAK.-Mr. Thos. Twomnbley had drank but six glasses of branidy and water, when, being a man of discretion, he returned home at the seasona ble hour of 1 a. i., and went soberly to bed. Mrs. 'i'homas Twombley was too well ac. customed to the comings and goings of said Thomas, to be much disturbed with the trifling noise lie mtade on retiring ; but when shte discovered that lie had his boots on, she requested him to remove them, or keep his feet out of the bed. " My dear," said M~Ir. Twomibley, in an apologetic tone, "skuse me! How I came "to forget the boots I can't conceive, for I am ,just ats sober as I ever was in my life." Mr. Twombley sat on the side of the bed . ~Adaf~ci4.to.pll-f4ds i-ight boot. -The attempt wvas successful, though it brought him to the floor. On regaining his feet, Mr. Twomobley thought lhe saw the ~door open. As lie was sure lhe shut the door on coming in, he wvas astonished, and, dark as it was ini the room, he couldn't be mistaken, he felt certain. Mr. TJwombley stamggered towards the door to close it, whmen to his great surprise, lhe saw a figure ap proach from beyond. Twomley stopped; the figure stopped. 'Twomibley advanced "again ; the figure did the same. T1wombley -raiscd his right hand; the figure raised its left. " Who's there?1" roairedl T[wombley, ho. kginning to be frightened. Tihe obje'ct made no reply. Twombley raised his boot in a Smenacing attitud~e; the figure defied him by shaking a similar objcct. " By the [Hokey," cried Twvombley, "I'll find out who vou be, von sneakin' kuss!" H le hurled the boot full at the head of the mysterioius object, when-crash ! wvent the big loo~kinmg glass whlich TIwomeley had mistaken for the door. Twombley has re formed since, and is an ardent advocate of Temnperanice Societies; but grows very nervous when bioking glasses are mentioned. PADDY, attending a broad-brim conven Ction for the first time, was much astonished and puzzled withal, at the manner of wor ship. Hiaving bseeni told that the better "brethren spake even as they were moved Sby the Spirit," lie watched the proceedings rw~ithi increasing disgust for their " haythien way of wvorship," till one young quaker rose and commenced solemnly: "i Brethren, I have married !" ri " The (levil you have !" interrupted Pat YQuaker sat d(own in confusion, but the spirit moving further, the young man mustered couraige, and broke ground again. " Brethren, I have married a daughter of the Lord" r"'fTie devil, ye hay that," said Pat " but it'll be a long whlilo before you'll see your Sfathcr-in-laze." OvERIPRAYE.D HIIMsELF.-Dlirrng the prevalence of tihe epidemic in Virginia, in 1849, the negroes on the different planta tions becane dreadfully alarmed, and tho't they would certainly die with it. Among others, in one of the upper counties, w'as a negro boy, who having heard his father say that the cholera would soon he along their way, left his work one day and betookc him. self to the woods. Here lie wans found by Ihis overseer, soon after, fast asleep. Being taken to task by him for leaving his wvork h le excused himself on the ground that, not being " prepared in mind to die," lhe had gone to the woods to " meditate." " But," said the overseer, "how was it that you went asleep ?" " Well I don't know 'zackly," responded the negro ; " but I speck I must have overprayed myself." Asr[G -rOO MLVn.-A young couple wore sitting together in a romantic spot, with birds and flowers about theny when the fol lowing dialogue ensued: "liMy dear, i~f the sacrifice~ of my lfe would please thee, gladly would I lay it at thy feet."

What could be more conclusive1 "It is seldom we permit ourselves to occupy a space in these columns to speak in praise of any ar Iile in Ihe patent medicine way; but when we see the life (of a fellow creature saved by the use of any mnedicine whatever, we consider it as our right, if niot our duty, to give a simple statement of facts, that others may, in like manner, be benefitted. The case which has induced us to pen thisarticle was that of a young lady of our acquaintance, who by frequent exposure to the night air, contracied a Cold which settled on the Lbngs before its rpxvages could be sityed. (This occurred two years ago this. winte) Varous remedies were used, but with very little eff t or benefit.-The Cttgh grew Worse, wtitlh copius expectoration, and the sunken eye, and .psle,- iollow cheek, told plainly that pulmonary disease waadoing its worst on her delicate frame. The family.'phys. ein was consulted, and al1hough le wonhdnot - dimit to the young lady that she really had the 'Consump tion, yet hie woul give no encouragementas to a cure. At this crisis her mother wass persuaded to make use of a bottle of Dr. Rogers' CompoundSyrtp of Liverwort and Tar, and we are happy to 'state shie was perfectly cured in less than three months by this medicine alone, after even hope was destroyed: If is useless to comment on such a esse as'thisfo -ktlhe simple truth will reach where polished 'fiction "4 can.
