JIIS C 'E £ E A N Y . From the Louisville Journal. SOK<x—Ola? gave me music. Oh! give me music!—its sweet tones Will linger round my weary heart; The only love my soul now owns Is wakened by the minstrel’s art. Oh! give me music!—though the tears Are coursing down my burning cheek, The voices loved in early years In the low tones of music speak. Oh! give me music!—let the song Be plaintive ae the ring-dove’s moan; For gloomy thoughts around me throng, Which must be borne, yet borne alone. Oh! give me music! it will bring • Back all the past I may not tell— And o’er my broken spirit fling Its holy and mysterious spell. Oh! give me music!—in my breast Those sweet and thrilling tones of thine Will wake a hope of brighter rest And banish all these tears of mine! S. J. P. HOW TO MAKE A YOUNG WIFE OF AN OLD MAID. The following true story might perhaps fur nish matter for a littlo comedy, if comedies were still written in England. It is generally the case, that the more beau tiful and the richer a young female is, the more difficult arc both her parents and herself in the choice of a husband, and the more of. fers they refuse. The one is too tall, the oth er too short, this not wealthy, this not respect able enough. Meanwhile one spring passes after another, and year after year carries a way leaf after leaf of the bloom of youth, and opportunity after opportunity. Miss Harriet Seiwood was the richest heiress in her native town; but she had already completed her twen tv-seventh year, and beheld almost all her young friends united to men whom she had at one time or other discarded. Harriet began to be set down for an old maid. Her parents became really uneasy, and she herself lament ed in private a position which is not a natural one, and to which those to whom nature and fortune have been niggard of their gifts arc obliged to submit; but Harriet, as we have said, was both handsome and very rich. Such was the state of things when her uncle, a wealthy merchant in the North of England, came on a visit to her parents. He was a jo vial, lively, straight forward man—accustom ed to attack all difficulties boldly and coolly. “You see,” said her father to him one day, “Harriet continues single. The girl is hand some, what she is to have for her fortune you know; even in this scandal loving town not a creature can breathe tho slightest imputation against her; and yet she is getting to be an old maid.” “True repbod tho undo; “but look you, bro ther, the grand point in every affair in this world is to seize the right moment; this you have not done; it is a misfortune, but let the girl go along with me, and before the end of three months I will return her to you as the wife of a man as young and wealthy as her self.” Away went the niece with the uncle. On the way home ho thus addressed her:—“Mind what lam going to say You are no longer MissSclwood, but Mrs. Lumley, my niece, a young wealthy, childless widow; you had the misfortune to loose your husband, Col. Lum- Icy, after a happy union of a quarter ofa year, by a fall from his horse while hunting.” “But uncle ” “Let me manage if you please, Mrs. Lum. ley. Your lather has invested me with full powers. Here, look you, is the wedding ring given you by your late husband. Jewels and whatever else you need, your aunt will supply you with, and accustom yourself to cast down your eyes,” The keen wilted uncle introduced his niece every where, and every where the young wid ow excited a groat sensation. The gentlemen thronged about her, and she soon had her choice out of twenty suitors. Iler uncle advi sed her to accept the one who was deepest in love with her, and a rare chance decreed that this should be precisely tho most amiable and opulent. The match was soon concluded, and one day the uncle desired to say a few words to his nephew in private. “Aly dear sir.” he began, “we have told you an untruth.” “1 low so? Are Mrs. Lumley’s affections—” “Nothing of the kind, my niece is sincere ly attached to you.” “Thou her fortune, I suppose, is not equal to what you told me.” “On the contrary it is larger.” “Well, what is the matter then?” “A joke, an innocent joke, which came into my head one day, when I was in a good hu mour; we could not well recall it afterwards. My niece is not a widow.” “What? is Co). Lumley living?” “No. no, she is a spinster.” Toe lover protested that ho was a happier fellow than he had ever conceived himself; and the old maid was forthwith metamorphised into a young wife. INDIAN COURTSHIP. OH WOOING. Tho following anecdote is taken from the s.xieciith chapter of ILa-kewelder’s account of the in Lan nations, that once inhabited Penn. * v?.t: a and t : eu< .boring States. The work. from which the extract is made, is the >: n mber of tlx? P u i»i nations by the Histor ■a and Literary Committee of the Philosoph i a. Svde’y of I’uiSatf.dphia. An aged Indian, who for many years had spent much time among the white people both in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, one day a bout the year 1770 observed that the Indians had not onlv a much easier way of getting a wife than the whiles, but also more certain of j getting a good one. “For,” said he in broken ' English, “white man court —court —may be one whole year!—may bo two years before he . marry!—Well—May be then get very good wife—but may be not!— May be very cross]— Well? now suppose cross! Scold so soon as get awake in the morning!!—Scold ail day!— Scold until sleep!—all one—be must keep him! White people have law forbidding throw a way wife, be he ever so cross —must keep/dm always!—Well, how does Indian do? Indian when he see industrious squaw, which he like, he goto him, place his two fore fingers close aside other, make two like one—then look squaw in the face—see him smile—which is all one he say YES!—so he take him home— no danger ho be cross! No —no —squaw know too well what Indian do, if he cross! Throw him away and take another? Squaw love to eat meat! No husband, no meat!— Squaw do every thing to please husband—he do every thing toplease squaw—live happy! THE INFLUENCE OF WOMEN. In what Christian country can we deny the influence which a mother extends over the whole life of her children? The roughest and hardiest wanderer, while he is tosssed on the ocean, or while he scorches his feet on the de sert sands, recurs in his loneliness and suffer ing to the cares which maternal affection shed over his infancy; the reckless sinner, even in his hardened career, occasionally hears the whisperings of those holy precepts instilled by a virtuous mother, and, although they may in the fulness of guilt be neglected, there are ma. ny instances of their having so stung the con science, that they have led to a deep and last ing repentance; the erring child of either sex, will then, if a mother yet exists, turn to her for that consolation which the laws of society deny, and in the lasting purity of a mother’s love will find the way to heaven. How joy fully does a hard working child labor for the comfort ofa poverty stricken mother! how a live a son to her honor and high standing in the world! and should that mother be deserted by her helpmate—be left in a “worse than wid owhood”—does not her son stand forth her comfort and protector! In short, the more deeply we reflect upon the subject, the more entirely are we convinced, that no influence is so lasting or of such wide extent, and more in tensely do we feel the necessity ofguidingthis sacred affection, and perfecting that being from whom it emanates. The future character of a child,” said Na poleon, ‘ is always the work of its mother;” and he delighted in recollecting that to his pa rent did he owe much of the greatness of a mind, which probably grasped at too much, but which afterwards enabled him to bear years of privation and exile with fortitude and dignity. A late writer thus concludes u work upon the formation of women: “Oh women! if you could only see one of the miracles promised to maternal influence, with what noble pride would you enter upon that career which has so generously opened | future ages to your endeavors! That which it is not in the power of any monarch or any nation to accomplish, it is given to your will to execute. You alone can unite the scattered flock, and give it one common impulse. That which I have not been able to trace on this: cold paper, you can engrave on the hearts of; a whole people. I offer to you a feeble im ago of the truth, and you can bequeath thci truth itself to tho whole world. When, in our I public walks and gardens, I see on all sides the . noisy crowds of children, diverting themselves with" the sports suitable to their age, my heart trembles with joy at tho thought that they yet: i belong to you. Let each devote herself to the happiness of her own children, for in each in dividual happiness God has placed the promise: of general happiness. Young girls, young wives, tender mothers, it lies in you, much more than it lies in tho laws ofa legislature, to! confirm the future destiny of mankind!” Love. Love is a new intelligence entered into the being; it is the softest, but the most; ■ subtle light; in all experience it deceives itself; ■ : but how many truths does it teach —how much ' knowledge docs it impart! It makes us alive i to a thousand feeiings, of whose very existence, j till then, we had not dreamed. Tho poet’s ' page has a new magic; wc comprehend all I I that had before seemed graceful exaggeration: i wc now find that poetry falls short of what it I seeks to express: and we take a new delight in the musical language that seems made fur ■ tenderness. Even into philosophy is carried I the deeper truth of the heart—and how many inconsistencies are at once understood? We f grow mare indulgent, more pitying; and one sweet weakness of our own leads to so much indulgence for others. We doubt however, whether the term weakness, be not misapplied in this case. If there be one emotion that re deems our humanity, by stirring all that is ge nerous aud unselfish within us, that awakens all the poetry of our nature, and that makes us believe in that heaven of which it bears the likeness, it isdove: love, spiritual, devoted and eternal; love, that softens the shadow of the valley of death, to welcome us after to its own and immortal home. Some Greek poet says “What does he know who has not suffered?” He might have ask 'd—“What does he know who has not loved 1 A ■ •is’ both questions are svnonimous! I leaven help the heart that breaks with it after knowledge! How sad seemed the lot ofa young girl, touched by al! the keen susceptibilities of youth, full of gentle and shrinking tenderness, fated to be unreturned! Nothius? can cotn pc ns tic for the namviess fus cinitioa avvul beau*y. wh-cn sectns use a* fairy gifts crowded into one. It wins without an effort, and obtains credit for possessing ev ery thing else. How many mortifications, from its very cradle, has the unpleasing exte rior to endure!
