MISCELLANEOUS. VOL. XXXVt. cliRir ; look off Ilia hat and loaned it over upon the bed right in tile midst of half a dozen Ince collars newly done up,—nod kicked off hi* boot, with aucli energy tlmt one of lhum limded upou the bu* reau, und the other in the clothes banket, .oiling a while dreiajuat from the ironing table. Poor Mr». Jones was grievously tried. The huahund expect* ed a storm but no storm broke. He looked el his wife, a, she lifted hie hat from the bed and pul it on the mantle piece, end took hie bools and pul thorn in a closet from which site brought out his slippers and placed them beside him, but he did not understand the expression of her fsce exactly, nor feci comfortable about it. Mrs. Jones did not seem angry but hurl. After she had handed him his slippers, she took the soiled dress from the clothes basket, over which she had spent nearly a half an hour at the ironing table, and attempted lo remove the dirt which the bool had left upon it. Buf site tried in vain. The pure white muslin was hope lessly soiled, and would have lo goto the washing tub before it would be again fit to wear. ‘If you knew, Henry,” she said in a voice that touched her husband’s feelings, as ahe laid aside the dress, ‘how much trouble you give me sometimes, 1 am sure you would be more particular.' ‘Do 1 really give you much trouble, Jane ?’ Mr, Junes asked, as if a new idea had broken in upon his mind. ‘1 am sure I am sorry for it,’ ‘Indeed you do. If you would only be more thoughtful, you would save me a great deal. I shall huve to wash out the dress myself, now tlio washerwoman is gone, and I can’t trust Snlly with it. i spent nearly half an hour in ironing it to-day, hot as il is.’ ‘1 am very sorry indeed Jane, It was a care less trick in me, 1 must confess ; and if you will forgive me, 1 will promise not to offend you again.’ All this is new. Both Mr. and Mrs. Jones felt surprised at themselves and each other. He hud offended and she did not gel angry ; she had been annoyed, and he was really sorry for what he had done. Light broke into both their minds, and both made un instant resolution to he more careful in future of their words and uctions towards each oth er ; and they were more careful. When Mr. Jones offended, as he still loo often did, his wife checked the instant impulse she felt to upbraid him. He perceived this, and appreciating her self denial, compelled himself, in consequence to bo more or. derly in his habits. A few years wrought so great achnnge in Mr. Jones that, to use hyperbole, he hardly knew himself. He could shut a closet door as well as open it—could get a handkerchief, or any thing else from a drawer, without turning it up. side down—could hang his hat upon the rack, and put his boots away when he took them off. In fact, could be as orderly as any one, and without feeling that il involved any great self-denial to do so. V1ILLEDGEVILLE, TUESDAY, JULY 29, 1N45. From Arthur's Ladies' Mag. for July. A DOMESTIC SKETCH.—HOW TO COR- RECT A HUSBAND’S FAULTS. BV FANNV GRAY. ’Now juet look at you, Mr. Jones’ 1 declare ! it gives me a chill to see you go to a drawer. What do yuu want? Tell me ! and I will get it for you.’ Mrs. Janes springs to theaide of her husband, who hat goae te the bureuu for something, and puslios hiaa away. 'There now ! Just look at live hurra’s nest you have taado! What da you want Mr. Jones V The budaand throws an angry look upon his ariie, mutters something that she cannot under. Hand, and then turns away and leaves the room. ‘Ilia loo kadi’ scolds Mrs. Jones, to herself eouuneaciug the work of restoring to order the drawer that her husband bad thrown all topsy tor- •y. ‘I never saw such a man! He has no kind of order about him ; and then, if I speak a word, he goes offinto a huff. But I wont have my things forever in confusion.’ In the mean lime, Mr. Jonee, in a pel, leaves the house, and goes lo Ilia (tore without the clean pock et handkerchief for which lie had been in search. Half the afternoon pastes before he gets aver his ill humor, and then he does not feel huppy. Mrs. Jones it by no means comfortable in mind. She iaaorry that she spoke so roughly, although she dosa not acknowledge, even to herself, that she hns j dona wrong, for every now and then.she utters, half aloud, some censure against the careless habits that sore annoying and inexcusable. They had been married five years, and all that time Mrs. Jones. had complained, but to no good purpose. Some. | times the husband would gel angry and sometimes ha would laugh at his wife ; but he made no effort lorolorm himself. ‘Mr. Jones, why will you do so?’ said Mrs. 1 Junes, on the evening of the same day. ‘You are I Hie moat trying man alive,’ . ‘Pity you hadn’t a chance to try another,’ retort-1 ••Mr. Jones, sarcastically. l’he offence given was a careless overturning of Mrs. Jones' work-basket, and the scattering of nee dles, cotton, scissors, wax and a dozen little electo ral about the floor. The reply of Mr. Jones burl bis wife. It seem- •d unkind. He bad brought home a new book, *hich he intended reading, but the face of Mrs. Junes looked so grave after the overturning of the work basket, that he fell no disposition to read to her, but contented himself with enjoying the book lo himself. It must be said, that Mr. Jooes was a very trying man indeed, as Ins wife bad alledged. He could open closets and drawers as handy as any one, but the thought of shutting either never entered his The frequent reproofs of his wife, such mind. «- ‘Had ‘Had you any doors in the house where you were f> tiled ?’ or -Please to shut that drawer, will you Mr. Jones?’ or ^ 'You are the moat diaorderly man in existence,’ • You are enough to try the patience of a saint j Junes,’ produced no good effect. In fact Mr. uni is seemed to grow worse and worse and worse e«ei y day, instead of better. The natural habits 0, rder and regularity which his wife possessed, •are not respected in the least degroe. He drew f* h parlor, nnd left them in the middle or thi a floor—put hit hat upon the piano, instead of sag! ag it on the rack in the passage—tumbled her raws ra whenever ho went to them—left his sliav.

It was a hot ds Y- ■•hu* 01 U P b"° 'be chamber where his wife we e ling, and threw himself into a Urge rooking THE OLD EBONY BOOKCASE. Something more than fifty years ago, there died in tho town of Utrecht, one Mynheer II. Ganzi- voort, celebrated among llie good people of his country for wonderful prudence and wisdom.— Though possessed of immense wealth, Mynheer’s habits, during life, were simple and economising. His greatest luxury was to sit in the chimney cor ner after dinner and smoke a pipe, of no small di. mensions, well supplied with "the Dutchman’s darling weed.’’ The room which he had appro priated to his exclusive use, from the many mure comfortable ones of his liousehould, was small and plainly furnished, having no article in it worthy of notice, except an ebony bookcase, ornamented with silver, and a finely painted portrait ofking James Stewart, of England, which occupied a ennspieu ous place over the mantel piece. When smoking, it wits the old gentleman’s custom to place himself immediately opposite the royal picture, and gaze steadfastly at it, his arms folded upon his broad chest, and his countenance wearing a certain look of defiance. T!iU9 seated, he would smoke clelib. erately, until the contents, of the pipe were exhaust- ed ,- then, throwing out the ashes, he would muse for some moments, his features gradually assuming a very humorous expression. Nnt unfrequently, an idea would enter Mynheer’s head to quiz his ma jesty, when, with a side-long glance at the portrait, and a voice so gruff and deep toned that it seemed to be extracted from the depths of his am ple boots, lie would say—"Didst never smoke Jem my 7” shaking his head knowingly at the same time, and laughing until the tears started in his eyes. He had long tested the virtues of smoking, without experiencing any ill effects from the much abused tobacco, and the royal author’s elaborate expostulation against its use, appeared to him ab surd in the extreme. He, moreover, suspected Janies of teaching only by precept. His penchant for the pipe is by no means offer, edtothe reader’s consideration as an evidence of Mynheer Ganzivoorl’s wisdom, but rather as a proof of his being a veritable Dutchman, neither must it be understood that ho was learned in ab struse sciences, or deeply initiated in the idioms of many languages. He spoke none except Ins native tongue, nnd-did not, in that make long speeches ; | but his words were always to the purpose—even • j “sphaw,” as Meuheer said it, with bis mouth curl ed into the shape of a cornucopia, and his nose so turned up that il appeared lo entertain designs of withdrawing from his face, expressed the con. tempt in which I e held some subject, or person, much belter titan many learned men couhi have done by the power of logic. Then, ho looked into futurity and spoke of things to come, as one would mention the transactions of yesterday. He thought deeply, was well acquainted with the se cret springs of the human mind, and had never been mistuken in the true character of any individ ual with whom he came in contact. At Mynheer’s death, to the will which placed hii son in possession of a large estate, was annexed the following remarkable codicil : ‘‘My las', and dying request is lo have tho ebony book case wliicli has been owned by me for many years, retained by my son and his heirs. It shall be neither sold, exchanged, nor given out of the family ofGanzivoorl, my descendants , aud should the wealth which I leave, be lost through impru dence, and the sale of the book case prevent actu al starvation I positively prohibit its being done.— Neither shall it be given lo liquidate any debt Un der either emergency, 1 command that the book case be broken into pieces and cast aside as rubbish. Upon tho fulfilment of this last injunction, rests the blessing of Hans Gunzivoort.” The old gentleman’s wishes had been religiously adhered to, and the bookcase came at last imo the possession of his grandson, Herman. Though not yet compelled lo suffer dismemberment through untoward circumstances, it had long been consign- ed to the rubbish apartment, giving place to more modern and elegant furniture. Herman Gunzi. voort inherited a goodly stinre of bis progenitor’s wealth, but nut an iota of his prudence nr foresight. He spent his money lavishly, entered into hazard, ous speculations, and, by several successive fail- urea, wai reduced from affluence to poverty. To Herman, who from hit cradle had been in dulged in every wish that wealth could gratify, the change in hii situation would at any time have been severely fell; but the thought of his yuung wife and innocent children suffering through his rash conduct, almost bereft him of reason. Vain ly did lie now regret hi, thoughtless career, Nev. could he maintain his family 7 Those of his assn, dates, who,during his golden days, had thought him "tlie best hoarted fellow in the world,” all at once saw through their orrur, and were convinced that he wna a mere spendthrift, a man in no wise worthy of being assisted out of difficulty. "How could lie possibly have spiem so lurge u fortune in so short a lime ?” No one knew—and no one chose to recollect how muny hundreds of poor Herman Ganzivoort’s Imd gone. The tales of sudden em barrassments and distress far money he hud listen ed to, and freely given his purse lo relieve, were all forgotten. He who Imd been a friend lo nil, was friendless in adversity. Not that the nobit* minded Herman wished for pecuniary aid, or, for a moment, would have been dependant upon any one ; he scorned no employment by which his family could be supported, and, after many fruit less efforts to obtain a more lucrative situation, he at length accepted of a clerkship in a small mercantile establishment. Day afterday he labor ed unweariedly without being able, in any degree, to restore to his wife and oliildren the comforts that had once surrounded them ; his limited income was barely sufficient to procure the common ne cessaries of life ; months passed, and no sunshine; ol fairer prospects illuminated the dark clouds of adversity; yet, though impoverished, it afforded him heartfelt satisfaction lo know that he had act ed honestly. He generously sacrificed valuable- property, lo save his creditors, and, with the excep tion of a smull sum, owed nothing. The lime keeping clocks of Utrecht, had long tolled forth the hour of midnight, and of the honest folks slept soundly, heedless of ‘Grey Beard’s* ra pid strides ; yet one thero was, on that cold, rainy night, who counted the hours. To the wife of Herman Gunzivoort, they seemed interminable.— It was a comfortless room wherein she sal, no car- pet covered the floor, and the bed, without hang ings, upon which two lovely children alumbered, unconscious of their mother’s sorrow. Now the old bookcase like n friend in need hud again made its appearance and stood sentinel at a window, out ofwhicli the panes were all broken, effectually excluding the chilling blasts of winter. The old ebony bookcase was a fair-pecimen of our ances- tor’s taste in furniture, and had evidently been a master piece of carving in its day. It rested upon four, huge lion-paws, carved in endless lines und crosses, so many receptacles for dust, but intended to represent shaggy hair. Two finely fluted col umns, on each side of tlie doors, appeared to be placed there more for show than use, and the knobs by which they opened, were of silver, in the form of small, pugnacious looking fists. But the fig- ure upon which the sculptor hud displayed his greatest ingenuity was on the flul surface of the centre-piece, appearing as tho head of an animal having u face soniewhut like that of a dog, with short horns projecting from the forehead, wenring a crown of oak leaves and acorns. To what spe cies the animal belonged, had never been revealed by any work on natural history, and was for a long time, thought to be a creation of the mechanic's vivid imagination ; but a learned antiquary pro nounced il an admirable likeness of the god Pun. Beside the dim light ofa solitary lamp, Genevieve Ganzivoort plied her needle diligently, yet, more than once, threw aside her work and gazed wist, fully from the window. No object could be dis covered through the impenetrable darkness, and her beautiful face wore a shade of deep disappoint- • The highlened color told of keen anxiety, NO- 44- pu notion for her hasty expressions against Myn- hei tr Ganzivoort, so much Io be respected did she no tr think him. Hn a short lime, the change in Herman Ganzi- voi irl’s circumstances became known, nnd ids won derful faculties lor busioess were discovered ? Old acquaintances readily acknowledged tlmt they had judged w tong fully of a man, who was becoming richer every day, and stood at the head of tho Mor chants of Utrecht for honesty and prudence. But Herman remembered tlmt his only friend in need had been “ I’iie old Ebony book-case.” V, MARRIAGE.

Macon, July 10th, 1815, During the annual commencement of the Wes. leyan Female College which closed on Thursday, the ltili lost., the undersigned as a Imard of vic tors attended tho College exercises and examina- lion, and lake pleasure'in bearing their testimony to the soundness of the course ol instruction and the honorable proficiency the classes had made. No one who heard the examination could have been other than pleased at the prompt answers giveD to the questions proposed, and the satisfacto ry synopsis of the arguments connected. But there is one feature in the course nf study which we think of peculiar excellence nnd therefore de serves special commendation—we menu the thor. ough and extensive course the young Indies lake in mathematics ; convinced as we are lnat this is the best mode of training the mind to habits of in vestigation, and the indisponsnble necessity of mathematical demonstration lo tlie proper uudt and headstrong. . , , - On men of lighter minds, the vices of the world, 1 ?" ln( ' l ."K °‘ many of tlie most useful and interest and what are too lightly named its follies, act in a !

They every individual, indeed, as a responsible being I “ n . , r8la ", 'bo principles und apply them—they tssed over, nr eon. " « mean this as a just tribute of praise to when suddenly a sound fell upon Iter ear, never to bo mistaken by Genevieve. It was the foot-fall of Herman. All sorrow passed quickly from her heart, and a bright smile welcomed the care worn husband, as lie entered that little, dimly light ed apartment. His air expressed mental suffering. He remained silent for some moments, scarcely heeding the caresses of Nis lovely wifo. At length, taking her hand, he said, "Oh Genevieve, how can you love me so devotedly, when I, through selfish, extravagance have caused you to suffer every hardship, and now, through my inability to pay un old debt ol small amount, tlie few articles of furni ture that we have are to be sold and our little ones will not even have a bed to lie upon 7” For a moment, her cheek paled ; for a moment, her lip quivered. Then looking cheerfully into her husband’s face, she says, ‘Well Herman, why grieve for what cannot he helped? We may not be so badly off, after all, as you Imagine. I am sure the sale of that old boukcuse would discharge the debt.’ ‘That old bookcase shall never be sold said Herman, firmly, *My fathei's last request of me was that, under no circumstances whatever, should il be sold or given out of the family, and, when no longer able lo keep it, his father’s command was that it should be destroyed. That task now de volves upon me. Nothing could induce me to dis. regard tho will of so good and wise a man as I have always heard my grand-father called.’ •He mny have been very good ond wise,’ snid Genevieve, ‘for any thing 1 know to the contrary, though I should suppose he had the bump of de. siruetiveness strongly developed.’ Ilormaii made no other reply than that his grand father’s wishes should bo obeyed, and, at once, fell to work with hatchet and hammer. The children were startled from their slumber by- a commotion so unusual ; but the baby, feeling secure in his mo. ther’s arms seemed to have concluded that the de molishing of the old bookcase was intended for his amusement, nnd loudly crowed his approval of tho noisy proceedings Blow after blow fell heavily. Then, chisled heads, vines aud fluted, pillars, lay in one heap of ruins ; nothing retained its origin al shupe, but the large block, supported by lions paws, which Imd been tlie foundation. This ap peared so substantial that Herman paused a mo ment, to regain strength sufficient for a powerful stroke, but what he had thought a solid piece of wood, burst asunder and disclosed a large cavity in the block, containing a compactly fitting sack. The same suspicion entered tho minds of Gene vieve and Herman. For an instant, their eyes met. Then, with difficulty, he raised tlie sack and ripped it apart. Oh, spiritof Hans Gansivoorl! didst thou hear that cry of surprise nnd joy ?—With the gold, a folded piece of parchment fell from the sack, and Herman hastened lo read ns follows; Ere you discover the secret well, in which I have placed five thousand guineas, the hand that labored for you will bo stiffened in death, perhaps crumbled into ashes. If my will has been regard ed. tlie contents of the suek will come into your possession when you most need it—that is, when suffering the reverse of fortune, to which all man kind are liable. Beloved, if it has been so with you—if you have come lo want through folly or vice, hear the voice now crying unto you from the grave ; Lead a new life, ‘be warned by your sor rows,’ ’ •1 shall he warned,’ said Herman, ‘by the suffer- ings ol these dear dependent ones—my angel wife and children. Never shall they again suffer thro’ my extravagance. What think you, Genevieve ?’ continued lie, as he folded her to his heart, 'of my grand father's wisdom?’ ■Oh,’ she replied, ‘he waa wise beyond compari son.’ ‘But had tho bump of destructiveueas strongly (in which light none can be passed over, or con sidered' valueless.) the terrible consequences of ill conduct are equally momentous; but, as fur ns respects others, it is the one distinguished above the common herd, whose actions, Imhits and opin ions assum e a consequence which like a beacon light sot on h igb, becomes a warning or an exam ple to multitu des. SEARCH’’THE SCRIPTURES. If there is a b 00k on earth tlmt ought to be loved, it is that of the lroly Scriptures. We ure not only j informed of tlie will of God, and consolated with, tlie evidence that his will will be accomplished, “in the restitution of all things;” but the manner in which an event so consoling to the best feelings of the heart—so ardently desired by every Christiun —that there might bo no cause for doubt—no room for fear. Wo are there informed of tlie means which God has provided to subdue the spirits of tlie high, the lofty, nnd the proud—lo exult the meek and lowly, and the humble—to bring all men In u knowledge of the uuseurchahlc riches of Christ, There is no book so unfriendly to hatred and persecution—to tyranny aL'd injustice, as the scrip, lures. It breathes nothing throughout, hut mercy, love and pence. In these truths, the bereuved heart will find a balm, nnd the wounded spirits, the oil of consolation and joy. It bids us look beyond earth’s shadows, and points across the dark vulley and shad ow of death, to the spirit land; to scenes of bound, less bliss in tho Paradise of God. May we then search diligently the heat oi all books, for it will guide us in tho way of peace and holiness; into all truth as it is in Jesus. Mny it bu as a lump to our feet, and a light to our path, and we shall, by reuding and practicing those truths, make ourselves Imppy. Says Jesus, “Search the Scriptures, for in them ye think ye huve eternal life; and these are they that testify of me.” Miss Cornelia Philleo. Mr. Cauule. — We have come to the conclusion that Mr. Caudle is a great scamp, and unworthy ol the consideration he Ims heretofore received.— We sympathised with him in Ins troubles when the details of them first appeared, hut »b now consid er him a man who, us his wile lias observed, "would torment the soul out of any woman in tlie world;” we would therefore Imve done with him. We hope Mrs. Cuudlc will keep up u constant fire at him until he reforms, although we hope her sayings, ond his doings, will no longer appear in the newspapers. Candle drinks, he looks at tbe maid, he takes nd. vantage of his wifo’s absence, to huve a "spree” in his own house, he neglects his business, is about too h with skylarks, he is a trifling fellow. M s. Caudle has, as all women will, have the best of the argument, provod their original position that she "was an abused woman,” und we hope she will not “sink” until she has worried Mr. Caudle into a thorough reform, of all his had habits.

About one hundred and foity students have been connected with the institution the past year—and was matter of frequent remark among the strangers at commencement how healthful aud cheerful they all looked. We know of no reason now why the College may not continue to send forth in its graduating classes a stream of virtue nod intelligence, pouring its light and loveliness .10 home and country inasmuch as it is now free from pecuniary embarrassment, and retains its able Pres. | ideut (Ellison), and Professor of Nut.

And all who with us heard tho original compositions from tho graduating class, came doubiless lo tho conclusion that our daughters are already evincing their ability and readiness to think and write the sweet blossom—tho lovely harbinger ofa rich har vest. Indeed it was delightful lo listen to tho youthful writers us they glowud with the fervor ol sentiment, sparkled with the brightness of wit, melted in 1110 pnthosof poetry, nnd inuj-stienlly trod in tho paths of thought. Wlmt father’s did not growwurmer towards his lovely daughter us he beheld in her intellectual devulopemeuls and virtu, ous sentiments, the certain promise of future ex cellence—our own hearts grow warm in contem plating the picture.

The nccount added that, before lenvine him, the Knights of tbo Road inlininistered a little wholesome punishment lo Mr. S. It appears there was some mistake in the matter. Mr. Shannon has furnished the fol lowing authentic account of the robbery to tbe Uni on, wliicli we copy ns among the best official docu ments which the Ex-Minister has yet furnished for tlio public eye. Thu governor Imd tho luck to be robbed, both OD his way to tho capital, and un his return from it.— It was the last scene of ihe drama, which gave rise to the ludicrous mistake of the Picayune. The scene of his interview with them, was aome leagues east ofthe city of Puebla, where the road not wide enough for tun coaches to pass, run* for a quarter of a mile through u barranca, or ravine, cut like a canal with perpendicular sides. The stage was accompanied by an escort, furnished him by the Mexican government. But a few mo ments before they entered the ravine, the captain ofthe escort rude up, und informed him that he had pnssc-d the huunts of the. robbers, and wus no lon ger in any danger from them ; and having receiv ed ihe customary “gratification," retired. From what immediately alter look place, there is every reason to suspect a full understanding and a collu sion between the guuid nod the robbers. Five (ninnies afterwards, while the travellers were atill congratulating each other upon having passed ihrough all the dangers ofthe road, unscathed, the stuge suddenly stopped in the middle of the ravine, and seven or eight big-niuzzied carbines at once enlightened them as to tlio treachery oftheir e»* coil, und reminded them of the mutaLility of ounces from the purses of travellers to the pock ets of tho road.side gentry. They were politely invited to conference on foot, and, making a merit of necessity, descended from the singe with as good a grace us possible. The ceremony of searching trunks and "handing over” then begun. While il lasted. Gov. Shan non hud an opportunity of observing the tactic* of his new acquaintances. Around the stage were fuurlcen in number, all masked and well armed, ouch with acurbine,!) long knile.a sword,and pit- ols suspended in bells iiruond the waist. Seven remained on horseback, with carbines levelled, ready fur action in case of resistance. The others dismounted, to search for and select the booty.— In the distance were some fifteen or twenty other* stationed ns sentinels. The scurch was conducted with great order and decorum, nnd accompanied with all the politest phrases of the Spanish lan guage, When il was over, having duly admired \ Gov. Shannon's dress sword, and expressed their I approbation of its workmanship, they returned it i 10 him, luguiher with his papers. Then, with ma- j ny apologies for the detention they hud caused him i they took (heir leave ; not, however, until they hail asked for him the blessing of God, arid invok ed in liis behalf the protection ofthe blessed Virgin, “our Lady of Gaudaloupe !” Another more amusing scene look place imme diately afterwards. They had purled with the j first set of banditti but a few moments, when anoth- : er set appeared in the read. Thu conductor of the stuge, however,continued to drive on ; address ing them, en passant with inexpressible naivete and ! mirth in his maimer, telling them that, unfortuu- , .ituly, they were raiher too late; that the work had been already dune to 1 heir hand ; the robbery j wna just over, tlie niuiket spoiled, and the goods rifled. ; Gov.

Regarding themselves only ns creatures of 1 benutifu 1 creature than Mrs. llemun was—none of time, endowed merely with animui passions and in tellectual faculties their projects, aims and expec. lotions are circumscribed by the narrow outline ef life. They forgot that instability and decay nre written, as with u sunbeam, upon all earthly objects —-hat this world, with al! its pageantry and pomp, and power, is crumbling into dust—that this life is scarcely deserving of a single thought, excepting as it forms the introduction lo another, and that he nlone acts a prudent rational part, who frames his plans with direct reference lo thut future and end. iess state of being. Sin has so blinded the under standing, and debased the affections, thut men nev Ihe poriruilsor busts 1 have ever seen of her do her justice, nor is it possible for words to convey to the reader uny idea of the matchless yet serene beau ty of her expression. Her glossy waving hair was purled on tier forehead, and terminated on tlie sides, in rich and luxuriant nuliorn curls—there wus a dove like leak in her eyes, and yet there wns 11 chasten ed sadness in tlieir expression. Her complexion was remarkably clear, and her high forehead louk- ed ns pure and spotless as I’uriun marble.

Though its native strength has been impuired, and its puri. ty tarnished, and its ‘glory changed,’ it will not al ways be a prisoner here. Send it forth ifyou will, to range through the whole material universe, and like the dove dismissed from the ark, it will return without finding a single place to rest—for it has do resting pluce but the besom of God. To Destroy worms on Cabbage.—At night (about tun down) strip off one of the lower leaves and lay it on the top of '.he cabbage ; back side down, lit the morning very early it ahould be taken off. and the whole, or a large proportion of the worms of that cabbage will be on it, and can be disposed of aa any one aeea fit.
