We quote them for the* benefit of our young and unsophisticat ed maiden readers, who may not yet have “ told” their love; and who will we trust, pay due attention to the sound advice here given, are they tie tbe “ silken cord,” for better or for worse. 1. Never marry a man for wealth, never make money an object of marriage. •• Wilt thou set thy eye upon that which is not ?’* A man's life consisteth not in the things which he possesseih. 2. Never marry a fop, or one who l struts about dandy-like, in his gloves and ruffles, with silvered cane, and rings on his fingers. Beware! there is a trap! 3. Never marry a niggard, a close- fisted, mean, sordid wretch, who saves every penny, or spends grudgingly.— Take care, lest he stint yon to death. Beware of the trap. 4; Never marry a stranger, or one whose character is not known or tested. Some females jump right into the fire with their eyes wide open. 5. Never marry a mope or a drone, ie who drawls and draggles through life, one foot afier another, and lets things take their course; “ drowsiness shall clothe a man in rags." 6. Never marry a man who treats his mother or sisters unkindly and differently; such treatment is a sure ... dication ofa mean and wicked heart. A young man guilty of such meanness, will never make a good husband.— Beware ! ladies. Bo you see a young that’s attentive, affectionate to his aged mother and 'sisters, attentive to all their wants, with filial love and t derness, virtuous, pure and lovely his deportment, fear not, his worth is above rubies. 7. Never, on any account, marry a gambler, a spendthrift, a Sahbaili- breaker, a profane person, one who in the least speaks lightly or carelessly of God and holy things. Such a man, whatever qualifications lie may possess, never make a true husband. Be ware. 8. Never marry a sloven, a man who is negligent of his person and dress, and of filthy habits. The external ap pearance often indicates the state of the mind and hfc&rf. With tbfc pure all things are pure. 9. Shun the rake as a snake, a a demon.—Am. Farmer.

The soles of ladies shoes should be made as thin as possible, for it stands to reason they last much longer, from the obvious cause, that, as a lady is sure to catch cold with them, she will not be able to wear ihem so long as she is confined to her bed, or in doors.

We have to publish to-day another development in the melancholy trage dy which has, for many months, so ex cited public and private feeling. At the meeting, yesterday, of the Go vernor and Council, Rev. Dr. Putnam, of Roxbury, who has been the religious adviser of Dr. Webster since bis im prisonment, appeared wilh a petition from him for a mitigation of punishment. As Dr. Pothacn expressed a wish that a hearing might be given to the petition, and to bis owq suggestions accompany ing it, ns soon as possible, it was de cided that he should- be heard at 12 o’clock. At 12 o'clock, accordingly, the doors being thrown open, so that the state ment was made in public, Dr. Putnam presented the petition of dr. webster: To his Excellency the Governor and to the Honorable Executive Council of the Com monwealth of Massachusetts. John While Webster, a convict, .... der sentence of death, in Boston jail, in behalf of himself and of bis wife and children, respectfully petitions, that the sentence awarded against him by the law may be commuted to such other less horrible and ignominous punish ment as your honorable body may mer cifully decree. Your petitioner fully admits that he was tried before a fair and impartial tribunal, and that under the law as it ex ists, Ins jury, composed as it was of hon orable and high-minded men, could have returned no verdict other than they did. But respectfully reminds your honorable body, that the two groat inoral ingredients of the crime of mur der, malice and premeditation, have never been found against him by a jury, but have been necessarily inferred by the arbitrary rules of tbe law, from cer tain general facts which your petitioner will not deny, but the extenuating de tails of which, no man in your petition er’s situation, can ever possess legal evidence to prove. These details your petitioner has confided to the friend who presents his petition, wilh authority to stale them to your honorable body* in the hope that you will find therein rea- lo extend to your petitiqper and his ture, which were suited to his situation as a more or less sinful and certainly dying man. As lime passed, I seemed to myself to have succeeded in these objects, almost beyond ray hopes. At length, on the 23d day of May, I had made op my mind to address him in a wholly new strain, and to demand of him a full statement of the facts.—• I then believed myself to be on such terins with him, that 1 could abruptly and authoritatively demand his confi dence. I did do so, and 1 was not dis- ppointed in the result. On entering his cell that day, I told him that I was going to broach a new and important subject to him, and he must listen to — seriously, and 4*d|,*&ply tUf I had gestion of any legal or other friend of his, nor did any person know of my in tention to make it. Neither Dr. W’s* statement nor the fact that he had made anj', was communicated by me to any person until more than two weeks after it bad been received by me. Since that lime no steps have been taken by inc without the concurrence of Dr. Webster and of bis recognized legal ad viser. Two or three days after I received Dr. Webster’s statement, I advised the withdrawal (temporary at least, and I hoped final,) of his petition to the executive, and it was withdrawn. - J)r. fFebslerx i^tale done. I then said to fnjfi, that he n&st have felt all along that there was one barrier to our free connnunication; one point on which we did not understand another; that the embarrassment which attended the avoiding of that point obviously went far to defeat the satisfaction and profit to himself which ought to result from our interviews.— I said that he must certainly have some knowledge respecting the fate of Dr. Parkman, which I had not, and that the unshared secret must be to him an oppressive and intolerable burden ; that the time had come when he ought to share it with some one, and, under the circumstances, with me; that I had scrupulously forborne hitherto to press him on this point, andurged it now on ly because I believed it would be for his relief and peace of mind ; that I thought he must feet - ' by this time he owed me ihe truth, and that he could trust me ; that he need not fear to tell me the whole truth, for I was not there ^ raSer, I sent the note to Dr. Parkman, which it appears, w.as carried by the boy Mnx- well. I handed il in Littlefield'unseal- It was to ask Dr. Parkman to call at my rooms on Friday, the' 23d, af-^ ter my lecture. He had become of lalp very importunate-for bis pay.— He had threatened me with a suit, to put an officer into my house ami to drive me from my professorship if I did not pay him. The purport of my note was simply toask the conference. I did not tell him what I could do or wliat I had to say about the payment. I wished to gain, for those few days u release frorti his solicitations, to which I was .lia ble every day, on occasions and in a man ner very disagreeable and alarming to me, and also to avert, for so long a time at least, the fulfilment of recent threats of severe measures. I did not expect to be able to pay him when Friday shpuld arrive. My purpose was, if he should accede to the proposed interview, to state to him my embarrassments and to reproach him, nor tojudge him, but to comfort him in his distress anil >° help „„„ inabili ,„ lo - pay | liln at pre ,enl, to him in making peace with God and hts | nnn]nntem r../,; n m* conscience, to assist him, if I might, to California and tlae IUlMouri Line. An intelligent San Francisco corres pondent, in the New York Journal of Commerce^ describes the apprehensions of the people there that “ Congress will reject their constitution and adopt the line of 36 30”-—but adds, ** that should ibis apprehension prove well founded, “ An extra session of the Legislature may be found necessary; at which, also, the subject of a premanent State line may be again agitated, and a,bill, similar in its provisions to that rejected near the close of the late session, passed. It will be very difficult to collect from ’be present limited population of Cali fornia, a sufficient amoont of revenue to meet tbe ordinary expenditures of the government, so that the event to which I have referred—a brief extra session—might be productive of real benefit to our new Slale.J ' “ I do not think that much dissatisfac tion would be created here by the adop- tionj on the part of Congress of the line of 36 30 a4 our boundary, nor do I think it would operate very injuriously, to the interests of the few southern coun ties which would, * by-jbe adoption' of that line,-be excluded flbtn our p State organization.

The grounds which 1 am authorized lo take in aid of the petition of J. W. Webster, and which I take not as an advocate pledged to a side, but in good faith as expressing my own personal be lief, are as follows: That the human remains found in tbe medical college in November last were those of the late George Parkman and that he came to bis death by the hands ofDr. Webster, in a moment of passion under great provocation; that there was no premeditation, nor murderous in tent ; that there was a homicide, but not a murder, or if it could be called a murder under the rigid interpretation of the rules of common law prevailing in this commonwealth, yet that it was not murder according to the moral judgments of oor people, or of mankind, not the crime to which the public sense of justice awards tbe punishment of death, or for which that punishment is inflicted under the usoal and actual administration of tbe law in Massachu setts. I am enabled to present from Dr. Webster’s own Ups a statement ot the facts.connected with the -homicide.— 'Tbe credibility and valoe of his state ment must depend partly on the date of it, and the circumstances under which it was made. Before reading it, there fore, I will relate those circumstances ihe -iforatniuee. •My acquaintance with Dr. Webster Before his trial, bad been of the slightest and most casual kind. Soon after bis sentence, I received front him a request that I would visit hiratas a clergyman, during his imprisonment. It was a ser vice not to be decline^ I had followed the reports t>! the trial,, and acquiesced in the verdict as a righteous one, and had no thought But that tbe sentence was to be, and ought to be, carried into execution. I did not make it my object to draw a confession from kirn early, or to lead him to commit. ■ . ihc live while he lived, and die when ho should die, wilh the humility of a sinner, and the firmness of a man, and I trusted the hope of a Christian ; that in order to my being of any real service to him, there must be truth and true relations between us. 1 cautioned him not to answer me hastily, not to speak till he was prepared to tell the whole and ab solute truth; that I would endeavor to put a favorable construction upon his silence; that I was in no hurry, and that he might take a day or two more to consider whether my advice to him to make a full disclosure was not rea sonable and good. I spoke to him some time in a strain which I have thus indicated. He seem ed to be much affected by what I said, and when I paused, be said immedi ately, •* I am ready to tell you all. pologise for those things in my conduct which had offended him, to throw my self upon his mercy, to beg for further time and indulgence for the sake of my family, if not lor my own, and to make as good promises to him as I could have any hope of keeping. I did not hear from him on that‘day nor the next (Wednesday,) but I found that on Thursday he had been abroad in pursuit of me, though without find ing me. 1 feared that he had forgotten the appointment, or else did not mean lo wait for it. I feared that he would come in upon me at my lecture hour, or while 1 was preparing itiv experi ments for it. Therefore I called at hit house on that morning (Friday) between 8 and 9,to remind him of my wish to see hitn at the college at half-past one, my lecture closing at one. I did not stop to talk wilh him tnen, for I expected the conversation would be a long obe. will be a relief to me.” He then pro- j and I had my lecture to prepare for.— cceded lo relate the facts which I have . It was necessary for me to save my since embodied in the statement now ' time, and also to keep my mind free to be presented. 1 put to him a great from other exciting matters. Dr. Park- number of questions, all of which he man agreed to call on mens I proposed, answered promptly, and with every ap-| He came, accordingly, between half- pearance, it seemed to me, of an honest | past one and two. He came in at the purpose to tell the truth. Some of the < lecture room door. I was engaged in minor facts and explanations were given by him on a subsequent day, but the outline of the whole narrative, and the more important details were given at the interview of May 23d. It is important to observe that at the date the writ of error was pending and also that Dr. WebsleFs petition for a i full pardon with slroifg declarations of entire innocence, was in the hands of the governor. If tiny writ should fail he considered every thing as staked up on that petition, the declarations it con tained and the documents and affida vits be believed would be obtained for its support. His immediate family firmly and sincerely believing him en tirely innocent, were engaged in seek- removing some glasses from my lccture- rooin table into the room in ihe rear, called the upper laboratory. He came rapidly down the steps and followed me into the laboratory. He immediate ly addressed me with great energy Srr “Are you ready for me, sir? Have you got tbe money ?” I replied, “ No, Dr. Parkman,” and was then beginning to state my condition and make my ap peal to him. He would not listen to me, but interrupted me wilh much ve hemence. He called me “ scoundrel'' and “ liar,*’ and went on heaping upon me the most bitter taunts and opprobri ous epilheu. While lie was talking he drew a handful of papers from his pock et, and took from among them n»y two ing facts and papers to sustain his peti- notes, and also an old letter from Dr. tion. Iam confident that at that lime ° *' -~i he had not the remotest idea of ap proaching tbe executive, in any oilier way than according to the tenor of that petition, nor began to contemplate thequeslion whether tforatriuiaiion would be a. practicable. or even-a desir able alternative.' His-vthole thought Hosack, written, many years ago, and congratulating himself (Dr. P.) on his success in gelling me appointed profes sor of chemistry. “ You see,’ r he said,. “I got’you into your office, and now I will get you out of it,” He put back into bis pocket all the papers except the letter and the notes. I canitbl tell how So far as he entertained any hope, was | long the torrent, of threats and in- of pardon on the ground ol innocence, J vectives continued, and I can-now recall Once in the course of his narrative, he J to memory but a small portion of ,what suddenly paused and v sard, with an ap-; he said.
