BY MISS LANDONe
There is in life no bloesing like affection;
It *nuihe*,it hallows,elevutes, subdues,
And briiiEeth down to earth its native Heaven;
It sits hesiile the cr.idle patient hours,
Whose sole contentment is to wn'cli and love ?
It bemlHih oVr the death bed,and CAUiceals
Its own despair with words of faith nod hope#
Life. Imtli iHiiglit else that may supply its place;
Void is ambition,cold is vanity.
And wealth ou empty glitter, without love.
ill return lo you again with u
confiding and unceasing love. Depend upon il
betmiy, gruce, wit, itccuniplishmcnt, have fur less
io do with family joys, «nd family comfort; ihnn
prudence, economy, ill rift, and good sense. A
hu.shnml mny get tired of admiring, hut never with
the comf’irtuble consciousness tliut his receipts ex
ceed his demitnds.

The Golden Age of Couktship.—Wliut is it ?
It i* the lime of love—tin- happiest period ol a
man's nr a wnnian'a existence; the lime when all
miserable thought* mid reflections are bunistied in
forgeti'ulness, und when dreams of never fading
happiness final before the eyes. It turns night in
to morning ; unit it'gurdiess of all remonstrances
from iltirti persons, exclaims, Mime wus made fur
slaves.’ Il makes its votaries linger by the side
of it flowing lironk, till the muon is eclipsed by tile
return ol duy; ur wander “alune by the light of
the moon" till the "dews of evening” remind litem
I that they are not quite in faity land, and that they
( must retrace their wandering step*; it makes a
' man eloquent in the cause of love—it reconciles
all seeming impossibilities, and overcomes every
) obstacle that stands in the way of huppiuess, Shil.
lings are quickly multiplied into pounds—hundreds
of pounds into thousands of pounds ; humble dwel
lings ure magnified into splendid palaces. Il makes
“the worse uppeur the bntler reason." Bad lent-
tempers und evil dispositions, are driven like cluifT
before the wind ; nor will il allow a man to believe

situated ubou' fourteen miles from the sea, and ou
llte right hunk of the Shang.hni river, which emp
ties in the Yunglszekceniig. Ships of the large*!
size cun ascend the river, and anchor in front ol
the city, though a pilot is indispensable. The city
tins a witll five or six mile* in circuit. It bus five
etilrunc'S, each with two gatc9. The streets arc
narrow, und exceedingly filthy. Tho city contains
about 300,Ottll inhabitants. It is part of the city
of Suchun, which is ubout one hundred and fifty
miles distant, and is considered bv the Chinese as
llte -Parudise of their country’ The Register
says:
"Those who have vuccecHcd to nn inheritance—
those who have obtained sudden riches—in a word,
those who wish to spend some thousand dollars
merrily, betake themselves Iu the Suchun. Here
are found the best hotels, the pleasure bonis are
Ihe most sumptuous, the most pleusunl gardens, tin
fairest ladies. The fashions for the dresses and
coiffure of the fair sex change in China every three
yesrs, and the fashions proceed from Sucnati, and
give laws even to the Indies of the court.”

thought you were very anxious that I should go ; 1
thought you wanted to get rid of inn for something,
or you would mil have have insisted on my staving
at dear mother’s nil night. You were afraid 1
should get cold coining home, wore you ? Oh yes,
you can he very lender, you can. Mr. Caudle, when
it suits your own purpose. Yes; and the woild
thinks whnt a good husband you are! I only wish
the world knew yon a* well ns I do, that’s all ; but
it shall, some day, I’m determined.
“I’m sure the house will nut bo sweet for u
month. All the curtains are poisoned with smoke,
and, wltal* more,wjtlt llte filthiest smoke I ever
knew. Take'em down then 1 Ye*, it’s all very well
fur you to say, take’em down ; hut they were only
cleaned and put up u month ago ; hut a cureful
wile’* lust upon you, Mr. Caudle. You ought to
have married somebody whit’d Imve let your house
go in wreck and ruin, a* I will for the future.—
People who don’t care for tlioir families ate better

that.
“And whnt a condition tho carpel’s in! They’ve

They must be pretty gentlemen, they must ; mean

And yet a whole loaf of sugar aim you throw uwuy
