Citmnn) Pqnnlment Conducted by CAROLINE LEE HENTZ. 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. [written for THE TIMES sentinel.] 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. IXO BE OONTO'CED.] ‘ Siam Pack, Haxs.—Two Dutchmen, not long since, had occasion to go to a blacksmith’s on business, and finding the smith absent from the shop, they concluded to go to his house. Hav ing reached the door, said one to the other: “Come, Hans, you ax about de smit.” “Nein, nein,” said the other, “but you can ax so petter as I can,” “'Veil, den, 1 knocks.” The mistress of the house came to the door. Hans then inquired : “lsh de smit niitin ?” (is the smith within ?) “Sir,” said the woman. “Ish de smit initio ?” “I cannot understand you,” said the woman. Hans then bawled out: “1 say ish de smit niitin?” The other Dutchman, perceiving that the wo man could not understand Hans, stepped up and pushed Idm aside, and said : “Let a man come up what can say someding; ish de placksinit shop in de house ?”. s | NUMBER 7 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 humble cottages to the ground, and sending them forth to die upon tho public highways. 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 t ars. Four, suffering, down trodden Ireland! 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 ol England. Lot the Celtic race be driven by starvation from the him! of their fathers, and its exodus would he leg irded, not with sorrow, but with joy and gladness by the secret heart of England. ’’ i his letter of Mrs. Tyler’s was elicited by an appeal which was made to tho fair authoress through a communication in the Richmond En quirer, the writer of which thinking a suitable response should he made to the British ladies by one of those to whom their appeal was ad dies ied, suggested Mrs. T. as the proper person, as follows: “l will venture to suggest that there resides, gentlemen, in your neighborhood, a lady horn and educated in the North, and fully possessed of the feelings of that region in regard to slave ry, who has traveled extensively in Europe, and observed the condition of the lower classes in 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.

The expectation is, that all these “gentle crea tures” will be eagerly sought for in marriage by industrious and hardy miners, fanners and shop keep era.
