PERSIAN WOMEN.
According to the duclrine inculcated h\ M ; **
hornet, the women are not only exc tided from
ail society, bui go ubout so little that a tr.ivet,
Jcr tniolit pngs thrmig'r the vvltule eo' tlt'>,atid
not see a female f.tce; its the Per-ians, are, per
h.tjis, even mote jealous than the Turks. The
Armenian,anil other Chtisiiuti women livimr a-
keeping; “there was a poor
woman at the. door,” she said, “that she’d
promised it to for certain.” Well, wait a
moment.” I cried; so I pushed inquiries first
in this direction, fit n in that, and th- n in the
other: “but vacancy returned a horrid groan.”
“atn my soul,”s:titl 1 thinking it best to show
front, “you must keep my pockets,
in better repair. Mrs. Slaekwater; this piece,
with I know not how many more, is lost, bi>
cause some corner or seam in my j laguey
pockets is left open.”
“Are you sure?” said Mrs. Slack water.
“Sun ! ay. that 1 am, it’s gone! totally
gone!” My wife dismissed her promise, and
then, in her quiet way, asked me to change
my pantaloons before I went out, and to bar
all argument, laid another pair on my knees.
That evening, allow me to remark, gentle
men of the species “husband,” 1 was very
loath to go home to tea; 1 had half a mind to
bore some bachelor friends; and when Hun
ger and Habit, in their unassuming manner,
one on each side, walked me up to my own
door the touch of the brass knob made my
blood run cold. But do not think Mis.
Slack-water is a Tartar, my good tiiends, te-
cause 1 thus shrunk trom le me; the tact was
that 1 had, while abroad, called to mind the
fate of her 25 cent piece, which I had inves
ted, as large amounts are often invested, in
sntoke,—that is to say, cigars: and l feared
to think of her comments on nty pantaloon
pockets.
These things went on for some months; we
were poor to begin with and grew poorer,
or, at any rate, no richer fast. Times grew
worse and worse, even nty pocket-book was
no longer to be trusted, the tags slipped from
it in a manner most inciedible to ielate;—as
an Irish song says,
“And such iva- the fata of poor Paddy O'Moore,
That hi* pur.se bad the mare rents, a* he had lower."
At length one day tny wife came in wiih a
subscription paper for the Orphan’s Asylum;
1 looked at it, and sighed, and picked rm
teeth ami shook tny head, and handed it
hack to her.
“Ned Bowen,” said she, “has put down
ten dollars.
“The more shame to him,” I replied, “he
can’t afford it: he can but just scrape along
any how, and in these times it an’t right far
him to do it.” My wife smiled in her sail
way, and took the paper back to bim that
brought it.
The next evering she asked me if I would
go with her to the Bowens, and as I had no
objection, we stalled.
I knew that Ned Bowen did a small busi
ness that would give him about $(>00 a year,
anil I thought it would be worth while to see
what that sum would doin the way of house
keeping. We were admitted hy Ned and
welcome by Ned’s wife, a very little body, of
whom Mrs. Slack wa er hail told me a great
deal, as thej had been school mates. All was
as nice as wax, and yet as substantial as iron;
comfort was written all over the room. T
evening passed, somehow or other, though
we had no refreshment, an article which we
never have at home, hut always want else
where, ami 1 returned to our own establish
ment with mingled pleasure and chargrin.
“VV'hat a pity,” -aid I to my wife, “that
Bowen done keep within his income.”
“He does,” she teplied.
“But how can he on $600,” was my an
swer, “If he gives $10 to this chatty and 5
to that, and live so snug and comfortable,
too?”
“Shall l tell you?” asked Mrs. Slackwatcr.
“Certainly, if you can.”
“His wife,” said my wife, “find it just as
east to go without $20, or $.30 worth of rib
ands and laces, as to buy them. They have
no fruit but what they raise, and have given
to them hy country I fiends, whom they re
pay bv a thousand little acis of kindness.
Thev use no beer, which is not essentia! to
his health, as it is to yours, and then he buys
cigars, nr ice-cieatn, or apples at 100 per
cent on .market price, or oranges at 12 cents
nit'cc )>t candy, or new novels, or rare
works .hat ar sii!! more rarely used; in short;
mv dear Mr. Slackwa^r. he has no hole m
his pocket.”
It was the first word Ot suspension my
THE FAITHFUL MINISTER.
There is no man on earth, whom l regard
with so much reverence, as a Faithful Min
ister of Jesus Christ. He comes with no

bears no sceptre, to awe me into terror?
j He possesses none of this world’s wealth, or
honor, or power; ami in the endowments of
genius, he is perhaps inferior to a multitude
of my acquaintances:—jet whenever I be
hold his features, hallowed as they are with
the light oi holiness, I am compelled to be
solent under the impressions which 1 feel, and
humble i’or the gu atness of the contrast be

Men ol the worlo, when admitted to an au
dit nee with kings, return wiih a look ol great
er pride; but ihi* man. who holds daily and
intimate communion with the King of Heav
en, seems verily to regaid himself as a mis
erable sinner? There is not a beggar in all
his parish, nor in the world, with whom he
would not rejoice to converse familiary upon
the interests ol the spill. No insult can ex
cite hinvto anger; for he considers him who
endured the contradiction of siniuTs against
himself, though Lord of all. The chanter
of sickness s no stranger to his footsteps,—
lor he remembered that the redemption of
the soul is precious, and at death ceaseth
forever. In the house of mourning and the
cottage of poverty—whenever the voice of
affliction is heard—there ,mt may find him,
administering the consolations of religion to
those who are entitled to them, and inviting
those rvho are not, to taste and see that the
Lord is good.
His anxiety is not for earthly distinctions,
or i arthlv pleasures. A 6 these he leaves to
the multitudes who chooses them, alas! as
their chief good. II is ey e looks tar beyond.
Other scenes open bdore him; other hopes
and other joys. Often from his secret re
tirement d ies the fervent prayer arise,—
“Call me away front fii'lt and senie "
And when he beholds the prosperity of the
wicked—proud of flu ir ill-gotten wealth, ami
forgetting G"d in the profusion of His mer
cies—his heart exclaims, what he would
hardly dare to pronounce in words,—
‘Your heaps t»f gliitering gold are yours,
And in) Redeemer's mine **
May such a minister ever he my portion.
May he stand hy my dying bed, and utter the
last funeral prayer over my dust. And may
those who know not the blessedness of such
a coun-cllo; and guide, learn it by sweet ex

WASHINGTON.
Oxe Reuben Rousy, of Virginia, owed the
General about 100/. While President of tire li
nked States one of his agents brought an action
for the money; judgement was obtained, and ex-
ecution issued against the body of the defendant
who was token lo jail. He had a considerable
landed estate, but this kind of projierty cannot be
sold in Virginia for debts, unless al the discre
tion of the person. He had a large family, and
for the sake of l»is children proffered lying in jail
tnselling his land. A friend hinted to him that
probably Gen. Washington did not know any
thing ot’ine proceeding, and that it might be well
to send b : m a petition, with a statement of ihe
circumstances. He did so, and the very next
post front Philadelphia, after the arrival of his
portion in that city, brought him an order for
Itis immediate release, together with a full dis
charge, and a severe reprimand to ihe agent
lor having acted in such a manner. Poor Ron-
sy was, in consequence restored to his family,
who never laid down their headsat night without
presenting prayers to heaven for their “beloved
Washington.” Providence smiled upon the
labors of the grateful family, and in a ft w years
Rousy enjoyed the exquisite pleasure of being a-
ble to lay the 100/with the interest, at tile thet
oi'this truly great man. Washington reminded
him lhat the debt was discharged, Rousy replied,
the debt of Itis family to the father of their c'oun-
try and preserver of their parent could never be
discharged: »nd the General, to avoid the pres
sing imjKjrruriity of the grateful Virginian, who
would nut be denied, accepted the money—only,
however, to divide it among Rousy’s children,
winch ho immediately did.

If a youth is woningly disposed towards a

THE GRASS AND THE FLOWER.
BY J. K. PAULDING.
A lovely flower stood blooming on a bush
alone. It was the admiration of all, but most
of itself. It unveiled its painted leaves in the
sun, it glitered in the dew of the morning, and
breathed pleasrmt fragrance upon the air.—
Tho ned aimd the fresh green leaves, wi ich
sheltered as well as ornamented it, nothing
could be more charming and graceful. Eevry
passer by said, “Look! what a beautiful flow
er.”
Beneath this pretty and delicate creation t f
providence, there spread a green meadow,
here swelling into gentle undulations, and here
stooping till it fringed the bank of a running
stream. Tito flower looked down on the lowly
grass with n sneering air and in haughty tone,
gave utterance to her thoughts.
Behold this insolent grass, what does it, so
close tome? How mean—how homely! How
different in nppearenen and destiny from me?
Never does it hear the admiring murmers
which 1 excite. No rainbow views streak its
plain surface. It emits no fragrant odors, but
remains to be trodden tinder foot by all who list,
unvalued and unnoticed. 1 should like* to know
for what it was created.”
“Ignorant and conceited flower,’’replied the
grass,“the question might hette- be asked ofthv-
self, for thou art'useless, idle and fleeting as thou
art pretty.—True, the scent which rises from ihe
silken leaves is grateful, but where will it be to.
morrow? The gleaming of thy soft colors to
amid the verdant leaves, is agreeable, but
how soon will they fade on the ground? Evan
escent child of vanity! I have witnessed the
brief existence and death of a thousand such as
thou living’unvalued, and |>er!shiiig tinmourned;
and doest though sneer at me because mv stem
is slender and brittle, my bla les so fair as thine?
know that the wise regard me even for my
beauty; more than they do thee. I spread
over the earth a carpet of velvet. I clothe the
uplifted hills in mantles of verdtio. I furnish
food for hundreds of anirntt s, who derive from
me the power to gratify man with the most de
licious luxuries. The wind blows over me and
lutr's me not.—The sunshine falls on me, and
and 1 urn yet unwithered —The snows of winter
cover me, and 1 am yet ready to beautify
the earliest spring. Even ihe steps of the
many who tr>ad upon me, do not prevent mv
rowing ever bright and ch'-erful, and heaven

The saucy flowe was about to reply, when
a passer by plucked it, admired its pretty hues
and threw it away.
PRINTERS.
The following anecdote was related by the
veteran printer, Benjamin Russell, of Boston; at
a met ting of the Mechanic Apprentices’ Libra
ry Association, as reported in the Boston Mer
cantile Journal;—‘In 1775,’ said he, I was dri
ven from Bostoti, by the revolutionary war, at
Worcester. I there went, into the printing office
of Isaiah Thomas. I recollect one day', that
Benjamin Franklin came into our office. That
distinguished man could pass a tavern, or a house
of amusement, without going in; but it was hard
to pass a printing office, and not make a short
visit. So lie came into our office. We all
knew his countenance. Presi ntly he called
the boys around him, and talked to us. He
said he was proud to have been a printer. It
was more honor than to be a state man, an am
bassador, or a ruler of men. Why? Because
printing was so useful an art. ‘And,’said he,
inha'ever is use nil is honorable. ’ ‘I,’ continued
Mr. Russell, ‘was the youngest boy in the office;
so lie noticed me particularly, and the following
dialogue ensued between us. ‘What is your
name?’ ‘Benjamin.’ 'That’s my mme; where
wore you born?’ In Boston.’ That’s where
1 was born. Whom did you go. to school to?’—
‘To Mr .’ ‘So did 1, once.’- After this c<>-
loquv, the doctor aguniu addressed the boys.—
And ever after this, I loved my trade more. 1 res
pected myself. 1 fell that 1 was doing good.”
An article on Duelling in the American Month
ly Magazine, handles the subject in a common-
sense manner, and illustrates the ethics of
the code by several anecdotes, one of which we
extract.
In Boston we are told, there is a correspon
dence going on still, which began ten years ago
with a challenge. Mr A. batciielor, challenged
Mr. B. a married man with one child, who re-
plied that the conditions were not equal, that he
must necessarily put more at risk with his life
than the other and he declined. A year after,
tei wardshe received another challenge from Mr.
A. who stated that he too had now a wifi; and
child, and ho supposed therefore the objection
of Mr. B. was no longer valid. Mr. B. replied
that lie now had two children, consequently the
inequality still subsisted. The next year Mr.
A. renewed his cliaileng, having now two chil
dren also, but his adversary had three. This
matter, when last heard (’torn, was still going on
the numbers being six to seven, and the challenge
yearly renewed.

A NEW YORK DANDY.
One youth of this kind I know,—a doit
of the C er > t* rst ' vater »—who said to an ac
quaintance recently, i:i my presence: “Do
you know the Mi.s3 s oi Noo-Yark?

but 1 could’nt relieve, and so I cut them, I
vow I won’t he cruel ;o any one if I can help
it,—I won’t positively,—would you?”
This was at an Ordinary. “I say stran

“you are not a man, arc you?—a full hound

M RS. M A RGA R ET W1IA RTON.
This lady, who was a single women<of con-
sifleiab ! e fort'ine, well known during the early
part of the last century, i't several places ill
Yorkshire, was nick named Peg Pennyworth.—
-She was said to have been possessed of about
200,000/. She had some inoffensive oddities,
bm more cxcellenoeis; she made a present to
her nephew of one hundred thousand pounds—
an act of generosity practised bv few.
She chose to be her own Cateress. Purchus-
ing some eels, site put them into her pocket, en
tered her coach, acd call'd upon a ( a !y to take
with tier an airing. The warmth of the holy
revived the condemned prisoners, and one of
thorn took the liberty of creeping out for a lit
tle air, being deprived of water. The friend
cried out in horror. “Lord, Madam! you have
an adder creeping about you! Coachman, stop!
stop! let me get out.” “\ r ou need not be fright
ened, Madam,” she said cook: “I proicst on
of the rels is alive;”
Though she resided in York, she visited
Scai boro iglt in I lie season; and frequently send
ing fur a pennyworth of strawberries, and a
pennyworth of cream for supper—the people
conferred on her the name of Peg Pennyworth
—which never forsook her.
Her chanties were boundless, but always pri
vate; nothing hurt her so much as to have them
divulged. An accident occurred, in vvkicli she
displayed her aversion to public charity. Some
gentlemen, soliciting her favor, whom she could
scarcely deny, she pulled out a number of guin
eas, and selected one of the lightest. This pro
duced a few winks and smiles; but the matter
did not end here. Foote, of comic memory,
laid field of the incident, and drew her charac
ter in a farce, under the name of Peg Penny
worth.
When she was informed of this circums'nnce,
she exclaime I, with a smiie, “I will see it acted
as I live.” She did, and declared with joy,
“they had done her great justice.” A gentle
man took her in his arms, before the whole au
dience, and cried, “This is the greatest fortune
in Yorkshire!” which delight' d her more. The
entertainment over, a cry was related, “Peg’s
conch!” “They might have called me Marga
ret, however,” said she.
In otic of her visits to Scarborough, she, with
her usual economy, had a family pie for dinner;
she directed the footman to take it to the bake
house, who rather declined ii as not being his
place. She then moved the question to the
coachman, but found a stronger objection. To
save the pride of both, she resolved lo take it
herself; and ordered one to harness the horses
and bring out the carriage; and the other to
mount behind, and took the pie thus dignified to
the b ike house. When baked, coacbee was or
dered to put to a second time, and the footman
to mount, and the pie returned in the same hon
orable slate. “Now,” said she to the coach
man, “you have kept your place which is to
drive; and yours (to the footman) is to wait.”
She was tall, and of a spare habit, and lived
nearly to the age of ninety-one.
WOMEN IN LOVE.
What capita! diplomatists men are in love
mnli!' 13 1 And how eager is simple, vain wo
man, to i'elieve them all that is disinterested and
hi„f, in mJed, because they can scatter a little
gold dust upo.'i the surface of the hollow mine of
s*e!fishness within their bosom! For women,
acute and well-judging' ,,n ol b^ r subjects, are
blind as beetles when •< mat» auJresses the lan
guage of love to them—a moral .utist .‘uses over
the understanding—they become cr.-dulife's ns
big 'ts—and the poor man, even if his su;t be
hopeless, is instantly invested with some sort o!
merit, by virtue of the tender passion- It is re
markable, too, that, in the inverse ratio to other
matters, experience in these allairs seems only
to avail a woman nothing, but to throw her off
her guard. “To refuse twenty good offers, and
marry an apprentice at thirty,” is next to a pro-
verb. Well-seasoned hearts, perforated by
many an arrow from Love’s quiver, have al
ways some weak point in them, and yield often
in a minute. For my own part, from intimate
observation of my own sex—the result of many
a friendly confidence in these matters-;-! would

points than of thirty six; and while it is usual to

THE EFFECTS OF FEAR.
Some years since while an American vessel
of war was stationed at Va. Dr. D .ana-
miable and intelligent man, who acted as physi-
cian and surgeon to it, used frequently to lodge
on shore, u! the house of a respectable lady lo
whose only son, a child of four or live years old,
the doctor had become strongly attached, from
having discovered in him an extraordinary pre
cocity, and an interesting disposition. After
some months the vessel was ordered to sea, art,',
Dr. D , parted with his little favorite with
great regret. More than a y, ar had elapsed,
when the same vesuei rtvurned to N ■ - when
the Dr. returned to Ins landlady to see his li:t!e
protege. The child flew to his embraces, do
ited to see him. After the first careses was
over: “Why mv dear boy,”said Dr. D r ,
patting his head as ite spoke, “who has been
powdering vour hair?” “No body” replied the
child whose joy changed to the most extrava
gant grief, and bursting into a passion of tears,
lie quitted the apartment. Dr. D sat in si-
lent amazement, for the boy’s hair was as white
as the mountain snow. In a moment after the
mother entered and when the first gratulatious
were over, ho inquired the meaning of the late
scene. Saying to her what have you been doing
to yourson’s hair.” “Nothing,"sobbed she, and
following the chill’s example site left tho room
weeping. The next time lie called she was bet
ter able to account fertile mistery, and informed
him that a short lime ago, site had been aroused
a: midnight by the loud Ok piercing shrieks of her
child, and on hastening to his bed, found him
sitting up in it, his countenance wild with horror,
and the whole surface of Itis body dripping with
cold prespiration. Ou b ing made sensible of
her presence in a confused and incoherent man
ner, he told her that lte had been visited by a
frightful dream.
Tne next day it was discovered that Itis hair
was bleached as white as though he had lived
a century. This mystery, for such it may cer-
tainly be considered, was not perfectly under
stood till about three years since, when by a dv-
ing*confession of a relation who was to inherit
the projierty of the child at his decease, it was
confessed that on the night when the boy ima
gined be had been visi ed by a dream, he had
himself made an attempt to strangle him, but
was de'eri ed from the commission of the dt-ed by
the terrific screams of the child.—American

STAGUKKH in owmB.
Our attention has been drawn to ihw subject
by the loss of several pigs in our neighborhood,
and one of our own, hy a disease denominated
the staggers. We find in the second volume of
ihe Memoirs of the Philadelphia Society lor Pro
mt ting Agricu'ture, a ooinmuiiicatioii from J.
f\ De Gruchy, of much interest. Mr. G. kept
from 100 to 250 hous, and lost annually seve
ral—six, eight and a dozen being taken in a
few hours. They were generally attacked in
the month of September. The hog would all
al once turn round very rapidly, and if assis
tance was not at hand, would in less than half
an hour die. At length one of his workmen
put into Iiis hands an old pamphlet printed m the
year 1707, in which he found the following
prescription fer what he considered itie staggeia:
“You will sec a bare knob in the rpof of tho
mouth, cut it and let it bleed, take the powder of
loam and salt, rub it with it and then give him
a little urine, and lie will mend.” Mr. Do
Gruchy employed the remedy fer several years,
with almost unvarying success; but although
his hogs gi n“rally recovered, they never throve
so well afterwards. The disorder is generally
confined to pigs and hogs of middling size.
Mr. De Gruchy mentions another disease
which attacked his best hogs (in pen) in August,
and which carried off thirteen in a few days.—
He denominates it the sore throat. The hog
would often be dead in ten tninu'.rs after be was
attacked. He bled the fourteenth that was at
tacked, and Lad him carried and laid in a clover
field, and he recovered. The remainder of the
hogs were then turned into the clover field,
and the disease disappeared. This was done
annually afterwards, and the hogs had neither
staggers nor sore throat. It is now a well es
tablished opinion, that Logs should h ive a:cesS
to pasture, in summer, or at least to the earth,
to preserve their hcaltUv—Cultivator.
THE GOLD BILL OF 18:34.
This great measure of Gen. Jackso.v’s adml.
nistration, is now producing i:s rich fruits. Gold
is flowing into the United Sratcs with a rapidity
never witnessed in any country The arrivals
of specie at New York alone, now amom t to
about a million of dollars a week, and the great
er part of all that arrives there is in gold. Prob
ably ten millions of gold, and ; s much in silver,
will art ive in the country inis year, and make our
specie oxe hundred millions of dollars. Tho
gold alone will he near thirty millions by tho
end of the year. It was computed at twenty
millions last year; and the branch mints oi’Norih
Carolina, Georgia, and New Oi lcans, are now
in opera’ion. Thus we shall have a national
gold currency, in a few months, superior in
amount to the highest quantity of United Stales
Bank notes ever in circulation? Twenty-tw.i
or three millions ^as the highest quantity that
bunk ever got out, and fifteen or sixleu millions
was her average circulation in the best of her
times. VVe shall have near double that by
Christmas, nud by the end of Mr. Van Buben’s
present term, we look for a national gold cur-
rency of forty or fifty mill ous of dollars. Such
ho fruit of of this noble act—an act which will
stand as a monument to the honor of some, and
of reproach to others. Let it not be logotten
that Secretary Taney was at the head of the
Treasury when that law was passed, and gave
jo it bis most strenuous support; and let it not be
forgotten that Mr. CLAY, as a member of the
Senate, gave to the law his most bitter opposi
tion, predicted the direct evils from its passage.
Let these tilings be remembered; and w hile the
deluge of gold (touring into our country prove*
that a NATIONAL GOLD CURRENCY, a*
promised by the friends of the bill in 1834, is
fully and completely in our reach, and will b t

golden fruits of that law are gladdening the

A BOYS HONOR.
Young Nelson once set out on horseback, af
ter the Christmas holy days, with his brother
William, who was a year and a hall’older than
himself,, to return to school. William, who
did not much like leaving home, prevailed on
him to turn back, because there had been a fall
of snow, and he told his father that it was too
deep for them to venture through it. If that is
the case, said the father, 1 shall n"t insist on
your going; but make another trial an I will
leave it to your honor. If the road is danger-
ous come back; hut remember boys, I leave it
to your honor. The snow was deep enough to
have afforded an excuse, but Horatio could not
be (xirsuaded to turn back a second time. We
must go op, said he: remember, brother, it was
left to our honor.

ciicutns'.ance.s ol* the death of the late Jonathan

by whom Cilley was killed. It isgratifying lo
find that the committee have taken a decided
stand on this subject, a id the publication of their
report is looked forward to with much anxiety.
It is lo be hoped that the House will act with

ADVICE TO'SUNDRY PEOPLE.
Never forgive an injury. The power of
pardoning belongs to the Governor and Couu-
cil.
When you have done an act of charity pub*
lish it to others; so that they may do so too. Be
sides every man can preach b_st from his own
notes.
Never pay your deb's; it is unconstitutional,
for payment impairs the obligation of a contract,
and even the Legislature has no power to do
that.
Never brush down a cobweb: it is a par! of
a spiders’s dwelling house, and iff couise his
cas'le, and therefore is sacred.
Make it a rule to keep company with rogues
and rascals; and then if you should be p ose-
cuted for an offence you have committed, and
your comrades should be called as witnesses «-
gainst you, no body will believe them and so
you will get clear.
Whenever you attack your neighbor’s char
acter, do it behind Itis back, so as not to wound
his feelings.
When you feel your passions rising never con
fine or suppress them. How many boilers have
been bursted by too close an imprisonment of
their contents?
Always proclaim (lie faults of others. Tt-.em
should be no secrets in a republican govern
