For the Young Men.
For the benefit of those who fail to
discern the motive of the caption of this
piece, 1 will merely statc.it was written |
especially for young girls, and I thought
this the surest method to catch their
eyes, anil exclude those of the gents,
for you all know that anything written ]
for the girls is read first and most eager
ly by the other sex, and vice versa.
Now, girls, what’s the use in making
such an awful fuss because a man has
deceived you? Havn’t all celebrated
divines told you, “that man’s heart is |
deceitful above all things ? And, hasn’t
the prince of modern poets said, “Man’s |
love is of man’s life, a thing apart.”— j
And havn’t you read that, “were man |
but constant, lie were perfect?” Ac.—
And now, can’t you believe what every- j
body, ancient and modern, Jew and
Gentile, Christian and heathen, men
and women, heroes, statesmen, sages,
divines, poets, philosophers and a host
of others, tell you ? It really is strange!
Then he has proved false, has he?—
What more could yon expect ? 1 am
sure I should have been disappointed if
he hadn’t! Do use as much as a tea
spoonful of common sense. Be kind
and sensible, anil not get so many ro
mantic notions into your head, and
then, if your true love does tell you just
before you get to tlie altar, “that he
won’t marry you,” do you suppose I'd ;
rave, and tear ray hair, or sorrow, or go j
into hysterics, or do any' other such
marvelous things? No, indeed! noth
But I’ll tell you what I would do—l'd
jump up and down for joy, to think I ■
hail found him out before the slipping
noose got ’round my neck. Hearts were
not made to break, and if you can keep
them from being jammed and bruised, ,
well and good. But few can oven do
that long, and when it comes in.
contact with such hard substance as a |
deceitful man’s heart., if the collision is ,
very unexpected, it may prove danger-
OUS, but bind it tightly with the icy
• bains of indifference, and my word for
it, it will not prove fatal. If I was only
young again, wouldn’t I show you?—
Bo you suppose I would trust a man
that had deceived another, if I knew it,
as some of you do ? If he lias broken
one engagement, he may two, and I
think with a certain old maid, that
1 -you should never believe a man before
marriage, nor trust him afterwards.”— ;
Suppose he should tell me he loved me
better than any one else on the face of
the earth, do you think I’d believe
him ? Don’t he tell every girl the same
thing ? and isn’t one’s lips as sweet to
iiim as another’s. Then what does a
man know about love, till he gets a
good wife to teach him. Their hearts
were not made like a woman’s.

Who Po|S the Question 111 Cohul.
A most extraordinary custom prevails
among the Vizfecs, a most powerful
tribe, occupying"an extensive district of
Cabul among the mountains between
Persia and India. The women choose
their husbands and not the husbands
their wives. If a woman be pleased
with a man, she sends the drummer of
the camp to pin a handkerchief to his
cap with a pin which she used to
fasten her hair. The mail is obliged to
marry her if he can pay her price to her
father.
The Bell—A Sad Accident.
We are pained to announce that Mr.
William Reed—of the firm of Lacoste &
Reed, Riggers, of this city -was killed
this morning about 11 o’clock, while
standing at the foot of the sheers or
\ scaffolding erected in the Orphan House
i yard for the purpose of raising the
Alarm Hell to the cupola of said build
ing. A piece of scantling fell from a
1 distance of about 40 feei above him,and
striking upon his head, killed him al
most instantly. The Bell itself had not
beeu raised from the ground at the
time of the accident.
Mr. Reed was an esteemed man and a
valuable citizen. He was between 35
and 40m years of ag e.—Charleston News,

The Atlantic Telegraph
It is said that this line of Telegraph. <
which our Government was to subsidize
to the extent of $70,000 per year, to as
sist in laying down and to guaranty for
all time—by a trick of British manage
inent has been made the most effective
weapon of war upon ourselves that 1
could be well conceived. The Company 1
were acting under a general charter. —
Afterwards a special charter was obtain
ed bv which the Company permits a
a special director to be appointed by the
Crown who shall have power :
“Iu case he shall be of opinion that :
any course proposed to be taken or act
proposed to be done by the company,
will, or may be prejudicial to, or incon
sistent with, the due fulfilment of their
contracts witli the Government, or the 1
regular, speedy, and impartial transmis
sion of messages and signals for the
public, or otherwise disadvantageous to the
Government or the public, to veto the ta
king of such course or the doing of such
act, and to require that the matter shall
be submitted to the Lords Commission
ers of Her Majesty’s Treasury for their '
decision ; and the said Lords Com mis
sioners shall thereupon decide whether 1
or not the objection of such ex-officio
director was well founded, and wheth- j
er or not such course shall be taken or
act be done, and the decisions of the
said Lords Commissioners thereupon
shall be final and conclusive upon the
company.” But if the directors are
dissatisfied with tbej decision, the mat
ter, within seven days after notice in j
writing to the Commissioners, shall be |
referred to two judges of her Majesty’s
superior courts of common law, whose
decision shall be final and binding. The
election of all the directors of the com
pany is also made subject to the appro
val of the Lords Commissioners.
“All messages and signals sent or for
warded for transmission and delivery for j
Her Majesty, or on Her Majesty’s ser- J
vice, shall have priority over all other j
messages whatsoever, and it shall be j
'imperative on the company, their offi- I
cers and servants, to transmit and de
j liver such messages and siguals accord
ly, and to suspend the transmission if
all or any messages until the said mes
sages and signals shall first have been
j transmitted.
i “But should the United States Govern
jment grant a subsidy equal in rate with
that of Her Majesty’s Government, the
messages of the said Government shall
have equal priority, and be transmitted
iand delivered in the order of time in
which they are received. It is also pro
i vided that after twenty-five years ‘the
British Government may take absolute
: possession of the line, fov the purpose
lof preventing any communication being
I made or signals given, save such as
shall be directed and authorized by any
jsuch Secretary of State,' (meaning any |
| ‘of Her Majesty’s principal Secretaries j
lof State, ) ‘and this possession may be J
held from week to week indefinitely.” {
| As Inith ends of the telegraph are to

(reservation will probably arrest the at j

permit the United States any longer to

Ell7.nt>eth Bowleg* and Her Intended.
An item of gossip has lately been
going the rounds of the press, to the ef
fect that Billy Bowlegs’ daughter is
I soon to be married to a young New
1 Yorker, whom she met during her re
| cent visit at New Orleans. As many
interested persons are doubtless anx
ious to know who the lucky individual
| is, it may be a relief to them to know
i that the gentleman alluded to is no less
| a person than the New Orleans corres
! pendent cf “ Harper's Weekly” —though
the facts of the case differ materially i
from the current report.
It appears (from the gentleman's j
own statements) that he has been busi- j
ly engaged in obtaining the history of I
! the Seminele chief, together with pho
tographic likenesses of sundry mem
bers of his.fainily, and sketches of their :
adventures in the Crescent G:ty, for
i publication is Harper—all of which he
mccessfully accomplished. Os course
his intercourse with the Bowlegs lami
jly was necessarily somewhat intimate.
|But let the gentleman explait. He
jsays:
4 My object was attained; butfn the
| mean while my zealous devotion to his
Majesty of the Everglades, had exposed
me to no little misapprehension on the
part of my friends. This is a censorious
world, very loth to believe in disinter
ested attachments of any cort. A plau
sible motive for proceedings was easily
suggested.
“ Billy, as I hav3 said, Is no beggar
ly German prince, without money to
I support his hereditary dignity. He has,
moreover, a marriageble daughter,
whom.it was currently reported, lit? was
anxious to bestow upon some ‘ white
brother* with the com for table* dowry
of ten thousand dollars in bard cash,
besides ‘ expectations’ for the future.
It was reported that I was to he the hap
py man. I was overwhelmed with con
gratulations, pronounced a lucky fellow
and forced to * stand ’ cocktails and ju
leps without number.
“ It is due to all parties to.say, that
the matter should be properly represent
ed. It is true, then, that King Billy
did me the honor to propose an alliance
between myself and his eldest daughter.
I Betsey,’ he said, ‘ good squaw—nev
jer married—you have her —come with
i me—l make you great chief—next af
ter me.’ I was forced to decline this
■ flattering offer for private reasons, which
I am not at liberty to explain at present.
: Suffice it to say that they were perfectly
i satisfactory to His Majesty, who was
graciously pleased to present me, in
• token of iiis perfect consideration, with
i his own royal autograph, a sac simile of
, which I send you.”

Why there arc mote Pious Women
than Men.
The reason there are more pious wo
men than men is, not because women I
are weaker, or their passions less power
' ful, hut becausea feeling of dependence
1 is native in the female heart. It is be
; cause the pride of independence has lit
tle or no place there. It is because the
! female mind lias to undergo compara- j
! tively a small revolution to become re i
’ ligious. One powerful barrier that I
| stands before the path of every man in j
' his approach lo the valley of humilia
‘ tion, does not oppose the passage of the
; true woman. It is very rare that those
; who are denominated “strong-minded'
women ” become religious. The pride 1
) ,as personal independence prevents this.
1 So sweet and so natural a thing is!
’ piety among women, that men have!
come to regard a woman without it as
„ strange, if not unhealthy, and godless
I men often select pious wives, because j
■j they see that piety softens, and deepens I
and elevates every natural grace of per
, son, and every accomplishment of
mind.

Outrage on the Schoonrr General Tay
lor nt Tampico.
Our readers will remember a few
weeks ago the accounts of a nnmber of .
high handed outrages committed upon
American vessels by that notorious ras
cal, Garza, the chief of the foices be- f
sieging Tampbo, and that our govern- \
merit despatched the U. S. steamer Ful- f
ton, Lieut. Alray, commanding, to that J
port to see to this business, and to pre- J
tect our commerce and citizens there «
from these unwarrantable and insolent j
aggressions. The schooner Gen. Tay-i
lor, belonging to this port, was one of ■
the vessels which suffered from the un- -
paralled violence of the scoundrel Gar- 1
za. This vessel returned to Mobile the j
day before yesterday, and we were call
ed upon yesterday by the master and
owner, who furnished us the protest
and an affidavit of a passenger, and the !
former of whom also gave us a state- 1 *
merit in addition, of the conduct of
Lieut. Altny, of the Fulton, which we j
publish, in order that the government
at Washington and the country at large f*
may know how our naval officers dis- j
I charge the duty, which they are ap
! pointed and paid to perform, of protect - '
|mg our commerce and the rights of our
citizens in foreign ports.
Captain Frisk informs us, that when
the Fulton arrived there he was in “du
rance vile” and under detention by
Gen. Garza, who would not suffer him
to go up to the city of Tampico, and
i that Lieut. Almy, instead of promptly
i rescuing him from the guns of Garza, :
| and inflicting condign punishment upon
Garza for the outrage, desired him(Capt.
Frisk) to leave at once and without,
even getting a clearance! The captain
answered, by asking the Lieutenant how!
he could go to sea without his proper'
papers, when he would be certainly sub-;
jected to forfeiture of his vessel andj
cargo. The Lieutenant wished him to;
■go any how- go any where—go to Mo- j
j bile or to the d 1, so he, this lieuten
ant of * Hwr gallant navy,” would be
saved a.ny trouble with an infamous
robber Mexican chief who had already
perpetrated numerous of the most un
heard of outrages upon American ves-|
sels, and robbed and pillaged their car
goes with the highest hand. Again,
while this patriotic Lieutenant thus
basely and cravenly forebore his proper !
duty in defending and protecting Cap-!
tain Friskls vessel, and chastising the';
piratical depredator on our commerce ,
and while lie neglected the duty and ic-j
variable custom also of sending his boat;
i ashore for the American Consul to come;
i aboard, we are informed by Capt. Frisk
! that he sent his boat for and received
the scoundrel Garza onboard the Ful-1
i ton, with all the boners and ceremonies!
due to the most distinguished and hon-:
lorable foreign official! And this the;
II man whose hands were reeking with the j
' violences upon and robbery of our law-j
! ful commerce and our citizens, and v/hoi
at that very moment held several ofj
.; our vessels in durance vile.
| It absolutely sickens us to hear these!
,! accounts of the disgraceful and darana
,; ble conduct of the officers of our Navy,!
. whose special mission is to protect our i
j commerce, and who are maintained at
! the expense of the people of our ccun-:
| try, as it seems, only to stand by and
' | see them trampled upon and outraged j
1 ! with impunity, where they have no
■ (other dependance for their protection ;!
* j or, as is generally the case, to unite;
’ | with their enemies against them. If i
■ jour Government at Washington, doesn’t!
' icall this Lieut. Almv to account for;
■ | his conduct as here detailed, and if the!
1 facts stated shall be found, upon cxr.mi-j
r nation, to be true, dismiss him at once
» from the service, then it will deserve to!
share in all the disgrace and odium of'
1 the affair. And this Lieut. Almy is one |
!of the officers of “our .gallant Navy,”]
! sent, with his steamer Fulton, to cruise
»I in the Gulf, and protect our commerce!
; from the British gunboats that have;
! been outraging cur vessels and our Bag!!
i He'll never be any where?about, rest
I assured, when the Styx or the Buzzard;
' I overhauls an American ship.
' | We talk about a war with Great Eri-i
! tain, with a Navy composed of such
! | creatures as this Almy and Paulding and 1
•jCbatard. and such like Miss Nancies
| and liunkies, toadies and ools! Before
■ Iwe think of going to war, we had bet-!

“; which is a tiling more needing reform

t i The Court delivered judgments in two
: cases yesterday morning :
1 i John B. Whiluen vs. The Sta£e. John
CB. Whilden was tried for Assault and
’ i Battery. Upon the trial the prosecutor
, introduced a witness wLo testified t« the
assault, aad stated that the parties had
’ |a difficulty about thirty minutes previ
ously. Defendant’s counsel, in cross
examination, asked the witness whether'
, I prosecutor did not stab the defendant in
the first difficulty. Prosecutor's coun
sel objected, on the ground that it rela
. ted to a separate and distinct transae- j
' tion, and the Court below sustainen the
, objection.
J The case being closed, the defend
ant's counsel asked the Court to charge,!
that if they believed the defendant
’ guilty of stabbing, there could be no
! conviction for assault and battery. The
’ Court refused so to charge, but charged
that the Attorney General might waive
1 ; the felony, and the Jury might find
; defendant guilty of Assault and Bat

guilty.
The Court sustained the decision of

'! GROCERIES—Our market is at present well
I supplied with every article in the Grocery line,
1 ! and every arrival adds to the stocks on hand.
) j The Fall Trade will open with full and well as
’ I sorted stocks, and as most of our merchants are
y heavy buyers, they will be able to sell low and
• accommodating to cash or approved customers.
M HARDWARE—-Our market is now v eil sup-
M plied with every description of Hardware, and
;: every assortment of Iron. We will venture the
• j assertion that there is no article in this line that
?| can be purchased in New York, but the bill can
M be duplicated by w.r merchants, and at good
H living profits. The reason of this is, our dealers
‘; hold heavy stocks, and import the meet of their
j goods direct from .ft .rope,
i HATS SHOES—Fair stocks, am', for the
‘ i season of the year,. a good business doing. We
; I are gratified to see that business in both the
! j above branches is.y arly increasing in our city,
t! DRY GGOlbi—Slock equal to demand. Not

IJ busy in overhauling their new and fancy pat
s terns.
}j READY-MADE CLOTHING—Market well sup

-| ing for their winter supplies, they ar< selling at
• the present time cheap.
: j " HEAT—The demand for Wheat is confined
t; h> supplying the wants of our three-City Mills,
i! which are kept busily employed. The market
f' is Irregular, and prices have a wide rouge. A
. lot of good old crop Red would bring Ifobi 80 to
: S7 cents, although some purchasers refuse to
give these prices. White is scarce, and would
1 »ring 90c to sl, according to quality and quan-
I t ty. New Wheat comes to hand sparingly—a
lot of good White would no doubt command a
! fraction over our highest figure.

• they are daily turning out two bushel Shirting j
Bags at 12 cents, Drilling 14%, and Osnaburgs-, I
[ at 17 cents.
i CORN —There is a good inquiry for Corn, and
! the stock on hand is light. We quote, by whole- j
i sale, 05/2/70 cents—the latter price would be j
given for a lot of White ; Retailing from stores!

SEWING MACHINES.
KEIASONIS why the Grover & Baker
Machine is universally preferred for family
sewing:
-1. It is more simple and easier kept in order
than any other Machine.
2d. It makes a seam which will not rip or
i ravel, though every third stitch is cut.
3d. It sews from two ordinary spools, and thus
> ! all trouble of winding thread is avoided, while j
: the same machine can be adapted at pleasure, i
by a mere change of spool, to all varieties of work.
4th. The same machine runs silk, linen thread,
1 and common*ispool cotton with equal facility.
sth. The seam is as elastic as the most elastic
. fabric, so that it is free from all liability to break
in washing, ironing, or otherwise.
6th. The stitch made by this machine is more
beautiful than any other made, either by hand
q or machine.
Merchants can secure the sales of these Ma
r chines in their different localities, with profit to

COMPOI XDED ENTIRELY FROM

rs ONE OF THE BEST PURGATIVE
JL and Liver Medicines now before the public,
that acts as a CATHARTIC, easier, milder.
more effectual than any other medicine known.
It is not only a Cathartic, but a Liver remedy,
acting first on the I.ivcr to eject its morbid mat
ter, then on the stomach and bowels to carry off
that matter, thus accomplishing two purposes
effectually, without any of the painful feelings
experienced in the operations of most Cathartics
It strengthens the system at the same time that
it purges it ; and when taken daily in moderate
doses, will strengthen and build t up with un
usual rapidity.

at fault, and the whole
