Witbe.—Of the different relationship® v rro-
hian is called upon by natur %> bea?> btith^o-
*ward her own and the opposite
there is none in which site stands so promi
nent as that of a wife. As a daughter, she
sustains an interesting character, and beauti
ful is it to behold her fulfilling tho filial duties
with reverence and love. As a sister, many
of the most pleasing and gentlo traits may be
developed. As a mother, 6he is placed in a
situation of the utmost importance, and where
new and delightful feelings are awakened into
existence. But it is as a wife she is most re
garded by the world, and for that character all
the energies of her nature appear to be
brought into action.
At her creation the duties of a wife were
the first she was called upon to fulfil, and elo
quent is the description our master-poet has
given of her in that relationship—where scrip
ture is silent, he, as with a sunbeam, has por
trayed her in all the holiness of pristine purity,
and even after her fall touchingly beautiful is
the sensation of her penitence, and willingness
to bear the whole weight of her offended Ma
ker’s ire.
In the situation of wife all the great, and
ennobling virtues, as well as all the gentle and
tender affections which pertain to the female
character, may be exhibited. The first and
most prominent is her faithfulness; many are
the instances history and biography record,
but there are many whom none but a circum
scribed few are acquainted with, where unos
tentatious but unconquerable devotion to its
object meet alone the reward it seeks. Wo
man is generally esteemed timid and retiring;
and as such she lavs the greatest claim upon
man ; as such in the ordinary affairs of life
she is in her most attractive character, but
there are situations where she puts on the no
ble courage of the lion, instead of the gentle
ness of the lamb, and it is usually brought into
exercise by the strength of her affection as a
wife. Frequently is she seen to bear with
surprising magnanimity the distresses and dif
ficulties which may overwhelm her partner in
them. Frequently is she known to stem the
rough torrent of adversity for his sake, when
all the world beside may have forsaken him.
Y03, in the midst of his deepest despair, she
is to be seen whispering peace and consola
tion, and shedding a halo around the dark
chaos of Ilia soul.
But the milder and passive virtues are more
commonly exhibited, and for these every hour
in the day must give scope. The variety of
little disappointments and vexatious, which of
necessity occur, toman more especially, from
his greater intercourse with the world, not
unusually ronders the temper somewhat irri
table, but it is tho duty and pleasure of the
amiable and affectionate wife to endeavor to
soften this irritability by sweetness and for
bearance, by showing her willingness to pro
mote his happiness, however the world may
fiown—bar tenderness and affection un
changed, however other friends may desert—
she will by self-denial seek to advance his
pleasure, by candor dispel all doubts that
might darken his confidante, and hy generosi
ty of thought and word and deed, prove her
every interest is swallowed up in his.
By many, my picture of woman’s devoted-
nees may he deemed too highly colored, but I
have seen her, in the character of wife, all that
I have described; I have seen her trying to
smile away the distresses of him to whom her
heart and life was devoted, and when that has
failed, I have seen her answer only by a tear,
a silent, eloqnant tear, not intended as a re
proof; but which has effected what all her
smiles may have failed to accomplish ; I h&ve
seen her by the exercise of moral courftgd
bearing all the sterner duties, and shaking off
the retiring timidity of her nature, to supply
his want of power; I have seen her denying
herself all the luxuries, comforts, nay, almost
necessaries of life, to promote his pleasure
and well-being; I have seen her beside his
couch in the hour of sickness, enduring fatigue
with uncomplaining patience. Yea, all this
and far more I have seen wrought from the
pure essence of woman’s love.
In the breast of that woman where vanity
is the leading characteristic, (and unhappily the
modem system of female education too often
fosters this disgusting evil,) the virtues such as
we have described, cannot be expected to
dwell. She who, either as a maiden or wife,
pants for admiration, and to gain it will wound
the feelings or ruin the peace of another, is
altogether incapable of the generous sentiment
which alone deserves the name of love. Ava
rice is a still more odious inhabitant: the bo
som of her who cherishes it must be totally
devoid of those soft affections we usually look
for in the sex ; and she reaps the reward she
merits when she sacrifices her principles and
feelings by a union of interest; the gold she
has so dearly purchased fails to procure the
happiness she seeks, and her heart becomes a
chaos of evil passions and disappointed hopes.
How delightful is it to witness an aged
couple who have weathered life’s storms hand-
in-hand, and smiled on each other amid them,'
even as in its sunshine—whose pleasure in
each other’s society does not decrease because
time has furrowed their brows and divested
them of the strength and beauty of youth;
to such a pair the pa6t affords a fund of exqui-
site joy, as it presents through memory’s glass
iheir early loves, and if religion opens to their
view the prospect of re-union after death in
a world where separation is not known, sweet
and easy must be their departure, and no cause
have they to regret that life’s day is on the de
cline.

It were vain tp hope in this world, that the things now

There is a tendency to decay in every thing that is earthly.

And yet I love the scones of decay—trey give a melan

Because rnanv men who Waltz, declare tnat they should
not be willing t<> see their wives or sisters do so.
Because Ladies who waltz, often ask “do you think

Because after afew tur ns the lady waltzing breaths hard

Because the expose made in waltzing is like that made by

Because the propinquity in any case would he he’d out

Tax Rights or Women.—We stated some time ago,
that instead of there being any ground of complaint on
the part of the ladies, that their rights were infringed
there was much reason to fear that the infringm"nt was
quite on the other side, and we stated several particu’ars
in which the men were deprived of fair equality. We
learn now, that rather an alarming Inroad 1ms recently
been made on the rights which remained to the men. It
has been settled in high ten. as we understand, that no
gentleman who meets a lady in Broadway shall be allowed
to touch his beaver, or make ary sign of recognition, ur-
I-’ss the lady gives liberty by first nodding her pretty lirt’e
head, and flint after a recognition has thus passed, the
,T e: tlemnn shall not he at liberty to extend his hand unless

Bzactifct, Phknomeson.— When the dense fog which
ov.erspread the horizon here on Friday scn’nig’nt had clear
ed away, about ten o’clock the sky became so bright that
one of the most imposing views of the opposite coast pre
sented itself that ever was witnessed from our shores. It
was dead low water, which favored the view, and it seem
ed ns if a curtain had suddenly been withdrawn, exhibit
ing the whole line of the French coast ns disfinc’lyas if it
had only been a few miles ofT. Calais was so plainly dis- j
tinguishable that comparatively minute objects w ere plain

and the whole of the village along the coast seemed bo

Ck dros.—We mentioned some weeks ago upon good au
thority, that this nut, which grows abundatnly in ISCw-Gre
nada had been proved to be an infallible antidote againvt
the bite of all poisonous reptiles, and was supposed to be
an effectual remedy for the bite, of e 11 animals ncdei thein-
flnenoc of canine madness. Also that e. gentleman just
from Bogota, had brought several of the nuts with him.
We farther stntcd that the Cedron notwithstanding its re
markable qualities, was entirely harmless under nil cir
cumstances. Our paragraph was copied very extensively,
and we have no doubt was printed in some hundreds of dif
ferent news papers. 1 here are within 500 miles ol us a iarge
number of persons, (some in tins city,) who Lave been
bitten by rabid normals, und who have some of them sub
mitted to be cut and scarred by the doctors, a most pain
ful pro'ess, and ono which, we take it. the doctor? know
to be just os useless as it is painful. \ et neither physician
or patient, or any body else, lias applied to ns to know
more about Cedron, except one apothecary, and one other
gentleman laboring under a disease not alluded to as
likely to be cured hy Cedron. We mention this as a sam
ple of the wonderful apathy » Lien exists among the facul
ty and the public respecting such matins, -A worthless
quack, who for the sake of filling his pockets, keeps his
forged certificates of marvels and iniprobables~before the
public eye every, day, uiii get thousands to buy his pills ;
butasubstantlal, well authenticated statement from n source
without the possibility ol self-interested motives, passes
for nothing. Hydrophobia is a specific disease unlike all
other diseases—treatment of it according to its symptoms
on general principles of science, has proved entirely in
sufficient and useless. Blood-letting and physic have no
useful influence. A specific remedy is necessary. The
Legislature of this stare, some twenty years ago, purchas
ed of an old German Doctor a specific for hydrophobia.
They did it upon a careful examination of facts.
While Krouse kept his remedy a secret, people came to
him from all quarters; and so they would to us now, if v.e
would make Cedron a nostrum, and without telling its
name und its historv. announce its properties. We could
make a foitune hy it, and the more readily us Cedron
cures the tooth ache; a matter we forgot to mention
at first, but which we can attest now from experiments
known to us. But who cares for Krouse or Cedron ?
There is none of the valut^.of mystery about either. So,
if perchance any one is bitten hy a rattlesnake, he most
ilie; and if by a mad dog, the doctors will cut lum and
burn him, and bleed and physic him, and let him die, too
well knowing that all they do is good for nothing, except
to their own pockets. But it is all done scientifically, and
no countenance is given to those things w hich doctors hold
in such abhorrence—specifics. Now, having told the sto
ry over again, and administer! d ro the public such a school
ing as we think the public deserves, for not taking more
heed to what w# say, we leave the public and each indi
vidual to die of tooth ache, or the bite of venomous rep
tiles or mad dogs, just as they and the doctors can agree.
They muy live specifically, or die scientifically, just as
seems best in their own eyes.—N. Y. Jour. Com.

reliance can be placed on the alarming rumors that are

ranged at 10 cents. We doubt very much whether there
s any one staple of any nation on the Globe, which is ex
ported, which will reach this extraordinary sum. A sum
mounting almost to the national debt of this country after
the late war. This extraordinary crop is the product of
seven or eight Stales, and is such as must give these States

Saxony Ladies.—A tourist in Germany
gives the following description of the Saxon
ladies:—“Ladies are models of industry; whe
ther at home or abroad, knitting and needle
work are no interruption. A lady going to a
rout would think little of forgetting her fan,
but could not spend half an hour without her
implements of female industry. A man would
be quite pardonable for doubting, on entering
such a drawing room, whether he had not
strayed into a school of industry, and whether
he was not expected to cheapen stockings, in
stead of dealing in small talk. At Dresden it
is cairied so far that even the theatre is not
protected against stocking wares. 1 have seen
a lady gravely lay down her work, wipe away
the tears which the sorrows of Theckla, in
Wallenstein’s death, had brought intohereyes,
and immediately resume her knitting.

The wife ofWm. Stewart, whose trial for tho alleged
murder of his father is now going on in Baltimore County
Court, attends her husband regularly every day, watching
Dover, (England) Chronicle, apparently with intense interest, the progress of the evi
dence, and betraying, in her pale, emaciated nnd anxiou?
but still beautiful countenance, the ravages, w hich the sit-
ion of her husband is inflicting upon her constitution
Lk Chapad de Paille.—An amusing instance of ths
blunders of our transatlantic contemporaries is contained in
the following notice in the London Court Journal:
Her Majesty looked unusually well, and appeared to he
in excellent health and spirits. Her Majesty wore on
this occasion the elegant hat lately sent to her ty the
State of Massachusetts, through their honorable represen
tative, Carl King, Esq. which came by tbc Great Western.
This truly beautiful hat is made of a grass peculiar to that
State, called June grass, on account of its springing up
and decaying in that month. The hat was universally ad
mired by all the ladies in attendance on her Majesty, who
very graciously allowed each of them to try it on, they all
expressing a great desire to avail themselves of the first
opportunity they ever had of wearing an American liar.
We calculate as brother Jonathan would say, that if the
hats usually worn in the Stale of Massachusetts are all as
handsome as tho one sent to her Majesty, the young ladies
must bo worth looking at.
The following neat little gem is from one of Fletch
er’s plays. Like much of the old English dramatists, it
is a beautiful illustration drawn from the simplest hubitaof
nature :—
1. “Of all the flowers, methinhs the rose is best.
2. Why, gentle madam ?
1. It is the very emblem of n maid ;
For when the west wind courts her gently,
II ow modestly she. blows, and paiutes the sun
With her chaste blushes ! When the north wiud comes
Rude and impatient, then, like chastity,
She locks her beauties in her bud again.
And leaves him to base briars.”
Contemplation and Action.—Jean Paul Ritchie
thus beautifully contrasts those two qualities of the soul:
“ Who is the greater sage—he who lifts himself above
the stormy time, and contemplates it. without action; or lie
who, from the high region of calmness, throws himself
into the buttling tumult of the times ? Sublime is it when
tho eagle soars upward through the storm iato the clear
heaven ; but sublimer, when floating in the serene blue
above, he darts down through the thick storm cloud to the
rock hung eyry, where his unfeatbered young live and
tremble.”
Grease tor Wheel Axles.—“What is the hast
grease for wheels?” said one xckip to another tho other
d a y. “ Tar," said the other. “ Tar! I despise tar,
and grease scon't stay there." Now had they put the
question to our grave selves, we could have told them of
a valuable material to diminish friction, not enly in car
riage wheel boxes, but in all machinery whatever. The
composition, we believe, was first used in the iron works
on the Boston mill-dam, and consists of soapstone, finely
pulverised, and mixed with grease or soft tallow. It is Rn
excellent application—a real anii-frictionist. Maine

“ So FADES THE LOVELY BLOOMING FLOWER.—In Scott
county. Iowa, after a residence of four days the last single
ladv found a market on the 16th ult. A correspondent
writes: “ gentlemen are out two to one nnd so anxious are
our settlers for wives that they never ask a sing la lady her
age. All they require is teeth.

Although the sittings of the Court have been, several times
protracted .until a late hour, she has never left, for a mo
ment thwi place which she has secured beside him, nnd will
probably, if nature holds out, witness either his acquital
or conviction. There is nothing on earth more full of in
terest than siR'h nn instance of devotion. The constan
cy and enduring jovc of woman hove been the themes of
admiration of all age*, and every day furnishes new proofs
of the justness of ev.cn the poetical eulogies which they
have called forth. The “ins and crimes and errors which
drive all the rest of the world from the objects of their
affections, seem but to bind iffietn the closer to them, and
the desertion of sunshine friends is but the signal for new
er, more resolved and mote excltlpivedevotion on their part,
the rhapsody of Moore—
“ I know not, I care not, if guilt’s in that heart,
“ I kr.ow that I love ihoe, whatover thou art,”
seems to find not less warrant in real lit? than in fiction.
Whatever nmy be the issue of the trial no\v pending, one
cannot but believe that there must have been something
of good in the man who could attach to him so strongly a
young and innocent women. So often, however, are the
affections of woman misplaced, so frequently do ivc find
the best and most beautiful of them lavishing the treasures
of their hearts upon totally unworthy objects, that tlwre

the husband from tho excellent qualities of the wife

Specie Governments.—France has $400,000,000 o
specie; Great Britain has $150,000,000; The United
States has $30,000,000. Yet France, with more than
double the amount of specie owned by Great Britain, hes
no such commerce, no such manufactories, no such politi
cal freedom, as belongs to Great Britain.
France has just five times as much specie os the United
States ; yet France is not so prosperous in any respect ns
this country ; she has no such great works of improvement
as we have; and her people are less enlightened, less
liberal, and less free than this people.
In France the hard money system of despotism and
barbarism prevails, while in the United States the people
are springing onward and upward in the scale of national
greatness, under an admirable credit system. This sys
tem the Whigs seek to preserve, the Administration to
destroy.— Ohio Journal.
Apparatus for Editing and Publishing a London
Newspaper.—Every London newspaper of the first
class has:
“An editor with a yearly salary of from £600 to
£1000: a sub-editor with a yearly salary of from £400
to £600; from ten to fourteen regular reporters, pnidfrom
four to six guineas weekly; from thirty to thirty-five com
positors in the printing-office; several persons to read
and correet the proofs; a certain number of men and
boys to attend the printing machine; a publisher and sub
publisher; a number of clerks in the office to receive ad
vertisements nnd keep accounts ; and various other indi
viduals engaged in subordinate duties. I he cost of re
porting generally amounts to upwards of £3000 yearly.
The salaries paid weekly to editors, reporters and others
do not full short of £ 130." Add the expenses of occasional
reporting, the cost of foreign newspapers and correspon
dents, and the sums paid for expresses, &c. Sec., and the
total weekly expenditures can be hardly estimated under
£250 or £13,000, per annum—about sixty thousand dol

On the maxim that “ every man’s house is his castle,”
Lord Chatham made the following beautiful remarks:
The poorest may in his cottage bid defiance to all the forces
of the crown. It may be frail—its roof may shake—the
wind may blow through it—the storm mny enter—the wind
may enter—but the King of England cannot enter ! All
bis power dare not cross tire threshold of that ruined ten
ement !”

r>« seen in another part of tbe paper. J
The following Preamble and Resolution, were reft*
duced in the Senate by Mr. Echox., of Waltee, oe W
oay last; and also io the House on the same day by Mt.
Kelly of Houston, and ordered to be printed t
Whereas, A connection between the General Govsra
ment and corporate monied associations, the effect of which
is to make the movements of tbe former depend npe. ih*
operations of the latter, or, by 8n nliiur.ee CtweeTtW*
to create a combined influence superior to the pow« r J
the people, is contrary to the spirit, and at war with ths
character and institutions of nor coantry. And where-
as, experience has signally demonstrated foe fotlhre J
such connection lor all good pnrpo^*, and recent vircuw
stances have fortunately dissolved it. And where,,, ths
advocates of mooted power have assumed such Conner tin.,
and tne establishment of a Bank of tho United State. t*b*
indispensible aids to the General Government in it, fiscal
operations. rt.nd whereas, the preservation of tho fibris
of our Government in its origioai simplicity a r.i parity, „
matter af paramount importance, and such simplicity urnd
purity are best preserved by the collection of the revenue
by, and deposite of it, with officers selected bv, and respon
sible to the people, to be disbursed by them under proper
legislative restrictions, and if the revenue be so collected
and disbursed without the agency of Backs, tumptation
to raise a revenue out of tbe people beyond the actual wsuw
of the Government, is to a great extent removed. And
whereas, the sentiments of the people of Georgia onqusw
tions essentially involving the purity, permanency, and c*w
sequent well being of our institutions should be so pruclaiw-
ed as not to be misunderstood :
Be it resolved by the Senate and House of Represents
lives of the State of Georgia in General Aesembly me*>
and it is hereby resolved by the authority of the sows.
1 hat the recommendation of the President wf the United
States to dispense with the agency of Banks in the oolle*-
tion and keeping of the revenue, meets with our assert
and «o-operation.
Be it further resolved by the authority aforesaid, That
the measure of separating the government from monied in
stitutions, as embodied in the Independent Treasury Ass
submitted to Congress at its recent session, it a meas.re
truly republican and can only excite the opposition ot
those who are the advocates* of a Bank of tbe Uaiwd
States and the friends of a monied aristocracy.
Be it further resolved, Spc, That the General Outer*
ment is able to conduct its fiscal operations without tbe
agency of a Bank of tbe United States, and to create seek
an institution, with the immense powers which are de
manded fur it by its friends, would be to construct a vort
commercial and political machine alien to our institution,,
the very movements and operations of which weuld d*re
troy the genius and annihilate tbe spirit, if it did not entire
ly subvert the form of republican government.
Be further resolved, \e. That we will rally around sad
support the present administration of the General Govern
ment in the effort it is making to sustain the cause of the
people against the attacks of Bank monopolists, by en
deavoring permanently to sever the Government from th.
Banks.
Be it further resolved, Spe, That we war not with ee*
State Institutions so long os they continue to confine them
selves to the objects for which they were created, and .t*
content to revolve within iheir legitimate sphere, that the?
are corporations created for mere commercial purposes^
and should not attempt to grasp political power, which
they most assuredly do when they seek to link tbemselre,
with the Government.
Be it further resolved, Spe, That a copy of the previous
preamble and resolutions be forwarded by the Govern*,
of this State to each of our senators and Representative*
in Congress.
The following gooJ humored hit at the contradictory
course of the Richmond Enquirer is too well merited snd
Ido good to be passed by. Its only severity is in the troth
of the eatire. We find tbe article ia a late number of the
Virginia Advocate:
Lows anp Hungry, Sept. 25, 1838.
Mr. RiYcmc: Dear Sir :—I wish you todomeona
favor, which, under present circumstances, I will neve,
forgot, and I hope you will, at your earliest convenience,
attend to my case. I want to know where I am, snd
what I am ; whether I am a democrat, or a republican, or
a democratic republican, or a federalist, or a nu!licer,ors
conservative, or a whig ; whether I go for a bank or for
the banks, against a hank or against the hanks, for h»r^
money or against hard money, for the President or against
tbe President; and whether I must abuse General Jack-
son, or Mr. Van Buren, Mr. Calhoun, or Mr. Clay, «*
General Harrison; whether, in fact, I am on my hesd m
my heels, in the party or out of the party 1 I have con
cluded, in my own mind, that I am something of s specif
deposite just now, sorter so and sorter not so, and I wss,
to know whether I had best keep dark a while longer o»
come out?
There is another subject about which I want your ad
vice { Had I better stop the Globe or the Madisonian, fat
it docs seem to me too hard to expect a plain man, without
much learning, to stick to both sides of every question! I
have stuck to the Enquirer through thick and thin, snd I
don’t mean to mind the hard things they say about job
now, and to hold on aa long as there is a pea in the disk*"
only I like to show my colors sometimes. I went with
you for tbe gun-boats, and against them, under Jefferton.
and for the war, and against the gun-boats, under Mas
son. I followed you and Jefferson against the bank, ditto
to you and Madison when he went for the bank. I ***“
your paper and supported Monroe, when you and he »**•
against Jackson, and I turned against Adams, tooth sad
toenail, and went for Jackson when you did the like. I
loaded jny fowling piece when they began to talk *bo*t
light-houses in the skies. I went for the proclamation,
and against the proclamation in spots, and, after tbst, I
solved net to split the party for any thing, and swxllowsd
the removal ef the depositee, the protest, the block bo e »>
and last, though not least, Air. Van Buren and Col. Pick
Johnson. But I confess I’m bothered aow. I want light,
and would like to know, when it ia convenient, whether I
must now go for principles without men, or men wiibout
principles?
I remain yours until death, „„
