TIIE PRINTER.
He stood there alone at that shadowy hour,
By the swinging lamp dimly burning ;
All silent within save the ticking type,
All without save the night wTitch turning ;
And heavily echoed the solemn sound,
As slowly ho paced o’er the frozen ground.
And dark were the mansions so lately that shone,
With the joy of festivity gleaming,
And hearts that were beating in sympathy then,
Were now living it o’er in their dreaming ;
Yet the printer still worked at his lonely post,
As slowly he gathered his mighty host.
And there lay the merchant all pillowed in down,
And building bright hopes for thc'S morrow,
Nor dreamed he that fate was then weaving a wand,
That would bring to him fear and sorrow;
Yet the printer was there in his shadowy room,
And he set in his frame work that rich man’s doom.
The young wife was sleeping, whom lately had bound
The ties that death only can sever ;
And dreaming, she started, yet woke with a smile,
For she thought they were parted forever ;
But the printer was clicking the type that would tell
On the morrow the truth of that midnight spell.
And there lay the statesman with feverish brow,
And restless the pillow was pressing,
For he felt through the shadowy mist of his dream
Ilis loftiest hopes now possessing;
Yet the printer worked on ’mid silence and gloom,
And dug for ambition its lowliest tomb.
And slowly that workman went gathering up
IBs budget of grief and of gladness ;
A wreath for the noble, a grave for the low,
For the happy a full cup of sadness;
Strange stories of wonder to enchant the ear,
And dark ones of terror to cuidle with fear.
Full strange the tales which that dark host shall bear,
To palace and cot, on the morrow ;
Oh! welcome, thrice welcome to many a heart,
To many a bearer of sorrow,
It shall go like the wind and wandering air,
For life and its changes are impressed there.

A Scrap from Aunt Patty’s Scrap Bag.
THE RED VELVET EODDICE.
By Caroline Lee Ucntz.
Ahnt Patty rapped the lid of her golden snuff
box, and called up a large pinch of snuff, which
seemed to have a reviving influence on her fac
ulties, for when Estelle reminded her of Nora
Shirland, and the Red Velvet Boddice, a more
than usual gleam of animation kindled in her
faded eyes.
“Ah! yes,” said she, “Nora was a blessed lit
tle creature, and I love to dwell upon the time
when she was among us, lighting us all up, just
like summer sunshine. She was so different
from what we thought southern L'h'ls were, she
didn’t want any waiting on in the world, and in
stead of lying in bed till noon, as I’ve heard say
they do, she was up with the lark, and out
among the dews of the morning. She was
smarter and more industrious than half the
northern girls, though they think the ladies at
the south do nothing but sit and be fanned with
big bunches of peacock’s feathers the live long
day. Mr. Elmwood got so, that it seemed lie
couldn’t go no where else, but just where she
was. He used to come most every night, as
steady as the clock struck the hours, and no
matter how folks were seated when he came,
he was sure to get close to her, in a little time.
One night, and 1 never did see him look so
blight and piert before, he waited upon her to
a party that was given to her, by one of our
near neighbors. After she was dressed, and it
never took her long to fix herself, though she al
ways looked as nice as anew bound Psalm book,
she came into my room, for me to see her.
“I couldn’t think of going, Aunt Patty,” says
she, giving a little flourish of her hands, so natu
ral to her, without knowing if you approved un
locks or not. How do you like my boddice?
Do you think it looks tod flue ? If it does, i
will take it off, and wear something more sim
ple.”
“Bless your heart,” says I, “1 wouldn’t have
you take it off', on no account, it looks so nice
and pretty, it fits yen off like a London doll. I
wonder what Mr. Elmwood will say to it.”
“Don’t, Aunt Patty,” says she, “I want you
ail to understand that we are friends, the very
best friends in the world, nothing more.”
“1 think Nora will like Mr. St. Leger,” says
Mrs. Worth, my niece Emma, who stepped in,
a few moments before. “They say he is just re
turned from Europe, and will be there to-night.
He is the pride and boast of our town. 1 am
very glad lie is come back, time enough for you
to see him!”
“Is he very tall ?” says Nora laughing, “and
has he fine black eyes, and very graceful man
ners t”
“Why, you must have seen him,” says my
niece Emma. “He is all that, and more.”
“1 have seen him often in my mind’s eye,”
says Nora. She began with n smile, but a sort
of a pensive shade settled on her face, before
she stopped.
Aunt Patty stopped, for M is. Worth opened the
door and with her usual quiet, gentle tread ap
proached the table on which her venerable Aunt
learned her palsied arm.
“Emma,” said Aunt Patty, “1 am glad von
have come in, just at this moment. I’m telling
Estelle about Nora Shirland. You recollect
when she first met Mr. St. Leger, the night she
wore her red silk velvet boddice, with a white
muslin skirt, looking so sweet and modest.—
Here is a little scrap of it that I keep as choice
as gold dust. Now, as 1 wasn’t at that party, I
can’t say any thing about it. You take up the
story now and finish it- Estelle will be glad
enough to hear it from you, instead of poor, pro
sy Aunt Patty.”
“Oh! no,” exclaimed Estelle, “but it would be*
a rarity to hear mother tell a story. Nobody
reads aloud as sweetly as she does.”
“Estelle always knew bow to flatter a
little,” said her mother, her soft grey eyes turn
ing upon her, with a look of the tenderest affec
tion.
“Nora Shirland was indeed a lovely girl, and
the summer she passed with us, was one of the
most delightful seasons of my life. A cs, I re
member that evening, Aunt Patty, well. 1 was
anxious Nora should enjoy herself, and bear
away with her a pleasing remembrance of our
northern social gatherings. 1 wanted that she
should see Air- St. Leger, and that ho should
see our southern favorite. I had penetration
enough to perceive that Mr. Elmwood would
never be to her, more than a devoted friend, and
that if somet one did not make a deeper impres
sion, there was no prospect of our transplanting
her to the bowers of the North.
When Mr. St. Leger made his appearance,
we were all grouped about the piazza, in the
moonlight, for it was a clear, summer night, and
the rooms were rather small. As Mr. St. Leger
walked up the gravel avenue that led to the door,
his tall and finely- formed figure towered in the
moonlight and made all those around appear
very insignificant. There was something in itis
air and manner that commanded respect and
admiration, and I think he had the handsomest
face I ever saw. I .looked at Nora, who was
ConveVsing with Mr. Elmwood and I was sure l
saw a “Sudden glow on her cheek, which redden
ed still more, when the lady of the house brought
up Mr. St. Leger and introduced him. He ad
dressed her with grace and politeness, but there
was an air of reserve about him, which seemed
to affect chillingly the warm hea: ied southern
girl. She did not speak with her usual ease and
animation, and when they separated and min
gled with the rest of the company, I have no
doubt, it was a feeling of mutual disappointment.
1 learned afterwards that every one had boon
praising Nora to him, and prophesying that she
would captivate him, and with the natural pride
of men, he resisted the coercion, ol the will ol
others. lie had seen too much of the world,
been too much flattered and admired, not to have
a good deal of self-appreciation, and Nora had
her share too.
I could not help being pleased when I saw
him draw near the piano, when Nora was sing
ing, and stand with folded arms in perfect si
lence listening to her songs. She sang with
great sweetness and lasto, and (he soul of music
breathed from her voice. When she had finished
and rose from the piano every one urged her for
another song. Mr. St. Leger would sing with
her—they said he was one of the most delight
ful singers in the world. She looked up to him
involuntarily, with all the music of her son!
beaming in her eye, and 1 firmly believe that
one glance thawed the ice of reserve that had
imparted such coldness to his first, greeting.—
His fine dark eye responded, and turning over
the leaves of a music hook, lie waited her selec
tion. He had one of the richest, most mellow,
charming voices l ever heard, and it harmonized
delightfully with her own. She looked excited
and happy, Imt she was too polite to monopolize
the instrument, and soon gave place to others.
After that, I saw her walking and talking with
St. Leger, whose lofty figure was compelled to
bend down, to find himself within reach of her
gentle, though animated tones. 1 love to see
such a contrast. The upward looking, delicate
woman, the strong, protecting, sheltering man.”
“I told you, darling, that 1 could not tell a
storv as your mother can,” said Aunt Patty,
nodding approvingly. “1 talk in my old-fash
ioned way and every thing sounds alike, but
though she doesn’t say any thing very purlieu- !
lar or new, she makes a deal more of it more !
than I could do ’’ *
“Aunt Patty knows she has got her name up,” i
said Mrs. Worth smiling, “or she would >-ot |
depreciate her own talents. She has long been j
considered the queen of story tellers, and is too
secure of her dominion to fear an v usurpation }
on my part, iam now only recalling some of j
the pleasant memories of the heart.”
“Tell, Estelle, about the ruining of the velvet i
boddice, and how like a little angel Nora bore i
it,” said Aunt Patty.
-‘Yes,” replied Mrs. Worth, “all young girls j
might profit by the example of Nora’s gentle- j
ness and forbearance. In ail country parties i
there are necessarily some invited for courtesy’s
sake, who seem to have no legitimate claim of
their own. There was a very clumsy, coarse,
ivould-be fine girl there, about three times as
large as Nora, who, taking a great fancy to her
velvet boddice, sent the next day to borrow it.
for a pattern. Knowing her so well, 1 begged
her not to lend it, certain she would try it on,
and spoil it.”
“I would not appear disobliging or proud, for
any consideration,” said Nora with sweet com
pliance, “I presume it will add to her happiness
to have a boddice like mine—and 1 cannot re
fuse so small a favor.”
The next day towards sun down, wo were all
sitting in the front room, and Mr. St. Leger and
Mr. Elmwood were both there, and Nora found
no more difficulty in entertaining one, than the
other, though I could see that when Mr. St.
Leger addressed her, her countenance lighted
up with an expression, { had never seen in it
before. It was such a kindling, glowing coun
tenance, it would he difficult to describe.
While we were all engaged in the most de
lightful conversation, a little coarse, red-faced
girl entered the parlor, without any announce
ment, and staring at every face, walked up to
Nora, exclaiming, “I guess this is the one.”
She had a bundle in her hand tied up in a soiled i
and rumpled napkin, which she swung round I
her finger with fierce velocity".
“Here’s your jacket,” said she, sticking the
bundle in Nora’s face—who, perfectly astonish
ed, suffered it to drop in her lap. “Sister says
she’s sorry she buist it, but it is too little for
her, any how. Shy’s mended it the best she
could, and says she’s much obliged to you.’’
The chiLl made an awkward attempt at a
curtsy and marched out of the room, leaving me
excessively mortified, that so uncommonly rude
a specimen of country breeding, should have
exhibited itself to Nora, at that moment. The
poorest children in our neighborhood, were, with
few exceptions, polite and well-bred. As the
bundle fell in her lap, it loosened, and the bod
dice was exposed to view. Nora clasped her
hands, looked surprised and serious one mo
ment, then burst into a natural laugh of pc-ifoct
good humor.
“IcJwboil,” she cried, holding up the boddice,
every seam of which was distinguished bv a
Streak of the white lining, violently exposed.—
A dark stain also disfigured one of the most con
spicuous parts—in short it was completely ruined.
I saw that Mr, St. Leger watched her counten
ance with earnest scrutiny.

Sketches ot Lectures.
MATBIXOXY.—BY l’Alllt BENJAMIN.
The lecture room of the Brooklyn Institute
was crowded to overflowing on Thursday even
ing to hear the ninth lecture of the course,
which was delivered by Pabx Benjamin. A
large proportion of the audience was composer!
of ladies, to whom the subject of the lecture ap
peared to he deeply interesting. In commene
iug, the lecturer remarked that he was to treat
tdiis evening on a very deleeate subject which
comes home literally to the business and bosoms
of men—yes, to women also : a subject which
is more intimately connected with the happiness
of our fives than the best of us are prone to ac
knowledge. 1 allude to Marriage. There is a
practical joke among young persons, which con
sist in passing the hand smoothly down the face
of a person, and calling it Courtship ; and then
passing the hand roughly down the face and
calling that Marriage. [Laughter.] There is
more truth than poetry in this, even when the
course of true love runs any way but smooth,
or when marriage is sanctified by love, and trust,
and elevated by respect. Still, it is .my belief
that the state of marriage, whether regarded as
a religious or a civil institution, or as a volunta
ry contract, is, take it all in all, the best and
purest condition ; that in the balance of its good
mid ill, its good greatly preponderates. The fre
quency of divorces in our community, and the
light estimate put upon the family compact by a
large number of persons, unite to persuade me
that there is no topic upon which 1 could better
address you at this time.
Marriage is a sober fact to a few. But, to
another class, it is a bewildering anticipation.—
The youth of both sexes regard it as a sort of
fairy-laud, whereof “distance but lends enchant
ment to the view.” They regard it as a sort of
“Diamond good
Where no crude surfeit reigns.”
There see some instances of unhappiness, and
hear of many others—of quarrels, and disap
pointments, and then separations. Vet these
young enthusiasts look at marriage as that spe
cies of Seventh Heaven promised by Mo
hammed to the faithful. It is no such thing.—
It is a state which requires great sacrifices; and
for these it gives nothing but love i.i exchange.
Yet, as fife is nothing without love, that life is
the best condition. Many young persons enter
tain very erroneous ideas relative to the marriage
state. I recollect reading an anecdote once re
lated by-Mr. Hale, of New Hampshire, in one
of his Free Soil speeches, to this effect. “A
couple came to me one night, and wished me to
unite them in wedlock. I consented to perform
the ceremony, and said to the man. “Do you
take this woman to he your wedded wife V—
“Certainly,” ho replied, “I came here for that i
purpose!” And the woman: “Do you take
this man to be your husband?” Yes, Ido!”
“Then you are man and wife—that’s all. Both
looked at me with great astonishment; and the
lady asked, “Ik that all?” Yes, i replied, that’s
all. “Well,” she remarked, “tis not such a
mighty affair after all!” [Applause.] But the
wife was mistaken. Ihe Marriage ceremony,
after all, bo it as brief as a rosy rill, is a mighty
transaction, it is changing the whole course of
a person’s life. New thoughts, new feelings,
and new duties arise. If the change he fortu- !
Male, they will shine like stars on the dusky I
coast, lighting the lonely voyager o’er the way.
But if the change be-, unfortunate, it will ho like j
the gloom of the ocean, where the storm-tossed \
hark has been wrecked, and our fondest hopes j
blasted forever. Marriage is no Epicurean j
dream. It is happiness or misery. It is what j
Antonio, in Webster’s play, took il to be. Some j
one asked him, What do you think of Marriage? \
He replied: “I look upon it not as purgatory: it [
is either Heaven or hell: there is no third place j
in it.”
The motives for which people marry has a |
great deal to do with their after happiness.— j
Some women marry to escape from home:’
some marry for a “position” in society. Audi
there are men who marry for equally absurd rea
sons. Some men there are who marry for j
beauty, and look upon their wife as a mere toy.
A man thinks to hang a trinket around his neck,
and behold it is a millstone! Some men marry
for money. He who does so, lias this advan
tage: he can know what he gets. [Laughter.]
If a man can feed upon husks, it is well for him
to see that his trough is well tilled. Then again
there is great diversity of opinion as to the pro
per age to many, i have my strong doubts
whether very early marriages are advisable. It
seems to me that a difference between the ages
of the parties is desirable. 11 ow great a diffe
rence there should be, is not so easily decided.—
Nineteen years is too great a hiatus; fifteen will
do. There is some very good advice upon this
point in Shakspere’s Twelfth Night, where the
Duke says to Viola:
“Thou dost speak masterly:
My life upori’t, thou art, lliiae eye
Haiti stay'd upon some favor that it loves;
Haiti it not, boy l”
Viola —A little, by your favor.
Duke —What kind of woman is’t t
Viola —lH your complexion.
Duke —Sbu is not worth thee, then. What years i'faith!
Viola —About your years, my lord.
Duke —Too old, by heaven ; let still the woman take
Ail elder than herself; so wears she to him
So sways she level in her husband's heart.
For, boy, tiowever we do praise ourselves,
Our fancies are more giddy and uniform,
More longing, wavering, sooner lost and worn,
Than women's are.
Viola— l think it well,my lord.
Duke —Then jet thy love he younger than thyself,
Oi thy afloction cannot boat the bent:
For women are as roses; whose fair (lower,
Being oneedisplay’d, doth fall that very hour.
Women should mau-y when between twenty
and thirty years of ago, hut nearer the former
than the latter. [Applause.] Lord Bacon-gays
that a man finds himself seven years older afte
marriage. In this there is much truth. Even
newly married persons, of proper years, must
feel their weight hearing upon them like the
lapse of time. There is one spoiocs of matri
mony condemned—begging pardon for speak
ing ol’it here,-should it appear personal to any,
1 refer to the wedding of the old to the young. —
This should never be. In Rome there was a
itrict law against it. --This law, tiie Lex Papia,
strictly forbid such marriages. There is much
truth in the saying.
“May and December oau never agree.”.
Among the instigations to the commission of
Matrimony, is Beauty. Now I think that beau
ty has much lt*s influence with sensible men in
determining Marriage, than is at first thought.
Man wants a partner in whom he can teel that
there will lie something left after her beauty
shall have departed. StHl it would be folly to
assert that beauty is to be wholly disregarded.—
For, as Keats has beautifully sui.g:
“A thing of beauty is a joy forever.”
Paramount to all considerations of beauty should
ever be regarded, first, amiability ; second, go and
principles: third,good sense; fourth, good breed
ing; and, fifth good education.
Passing on, the lecturer rem-uked that the in
troduction of steam aiming us, and the rapidity
with which the locomotive whirls us over our
journeys, lmd spoiled all the romance of wedding
tours. There is no going to Niagara now-a
davs by the slow stage coach, wherein you
could enjoy the soft social converse of the honey
moon. Or, should you wish to go to Europe,
you of cot rss cannot go by a slow sailing pack
et, but must take the wheel propelled steamer.
Indeed, so great it the change in thisj.egard, that
we might well exclaim, with Milton: *
“Os mai'a fust disobedience, and the fruit
Os that forbidden tree whose mortal taste
Brought steam into the world and all our wo—
Sing, Heavenly muse !’*
After a few more remarks, the lecturer said
that he considered this to be the great blessing
of Marriage—-that it does away with our selfish
ness; it delivers us from the mere forms of
meum and tuum; it endears both parties, and
turns a slavish drudgery into a free and joyous
service. Most properly has Marriage been said
to be a type of the union between the Church
and our Lord. And it has been well said, that
as to Adam Paradise was home, so to his decen
dants home is Paradise. [Applause.]
Mrs. Ex-President Tyler and the Duchess of Sutherland-
The following is an extract from the letter of
Mrs. Tyler, wife of ex-President Tyler, in reply
to the letter of the Duchess of Sutherland, con
cerning the institution of shivery in the United
States:
“If you wish a suggestion as to the suitable
occupation el'you idle hours, I will point you to
the true field for your philanthropy 7 —the unsup
plied wants of your own people of England. In
view of your palaces, there is misery and suf
fering enough to excite your most active sym
pathies. I remember to have seen, lately 7 , that
there were in the city of London alone,
one hundred thousand persons who rosa i::
tlie morning without knowing where or how
they were to obtain their ‘daily bread,’ and I
remember, also, somewhere to have seen, that
the Eleemosynary establishment of England
cost annually £1,000,1)00 sterling—a sum great
er than that expended by the frugal and eco
nomical government of ours, with its army and
n ivy, and civil and diplomatic bill. Surely,
s m-ly, Here is a field large enough for the ex
ercise of tho most generous sympathy—the most
unbounded charity. Go, my good Duchess of
Sutherland, on an embassy of mercy to the
poor, the stricken, the hungry and the naked of
your own land—cast in their laps the superflux
of your enormous wealth; a single jewel from
your hair, a single gem from your dress would
relieve many a poor female of England, who is
now cold, and shivering, and destitutute. En
ter the abode of desolation and want, and cause
squalid wretchedness to put on one smile of
comfort, perhaps the first one which has lighted
up its face for a lifetime. Leave it to the wo
men of the South to alleviate the sufferings of
their dependents, while you take care of your
own. * * * *
“For another subject quito as fruitful of sym
pathy, 1 need only refer you to the condition
of Ireland, with its population but recently
starving for food, which was freely supplied
from our granaries, and at this moment craving
mercy from avaricious landlords, who, to ex
tend the area of grazing lands, are leveling their

Women of England, go thither with your ten
der charities. There, on the road side sinks an
attenuated and exhausted mother, still straining
her perishing child to her breast, while the un
happy husband and father, himself foodless and
raiuientless, sheds diops of agony over the heart
rending scene. Spare from tlie well-fed ne
gro.-s of these States one drop of your supera
liotuitiiiig sympathy, to pour into that bitter
cup which is overrunning with sorrow and with

land of poetry and song, of noble deeds and
generous emotions—birth-place of the warrior,
the statesman and the orator —there is no room
for you in the sympathizing hearts of the women

tree countries, (God save the mark!) and yet
lives at the present time, and lias done so for
years, in a slave-holding community, an owner
of slaves, to whose happiness she thereby con
tributes tar more efficiently than the whole host
ol abolitionists. This lady might and would be
heard with interest by all parties to this contro
versy.”
And truly she has responded with ability and
eloquence. Thu letter, the Alexandria Gazette
says, does great credit to Ihe intelligence and
heart of Mrs. Tyler, and, says the Richmond
Enquirer, “we respect her still more for the
faithful execution of duty, because, in behalf of
her insulted and injured country, and in the vin
dication of truth, she has had the moral courage
to attach her own name to her admirable pro
duction.”
In this last she has set an “example which
many of the valorous men, who so often desire
to write for the press, would do well to imitate.
