GOOD ADVICE TO YOUNG LADIES.
To Miss W- , Knowing that you are
uboul lo enter a garden enclosed, and that
you are, at present, n stranger to this garden,
permit.me, nn old friend to give you some
account of it. 1 Imvo travelled every part,
and overy path : know every production of
every kind it can possibly yiuld—and as my
ii.foiunation can do no harm, it may do you
some good.
Toil know there is. but one way of en-
I.runce. i need hardly tell you that it is ex
tremely gay and glittering—strewed with
(lowers of every hue and fragrance,, with nil
that art or imagination can invent. Yqu
may fondly hope that this scene of rapture
will never niter, as you will not see the end
of the pnllt when you enter it. To somo it
- -proves a short onej ond-to-yva K limy appear
very difierent in the retrospect.
Here,, my dear girl, let. me caution you,
not to dream of perpetuul bliss, if you do,
experience will show yqu llmt it never ex-

You will meet with many produclions in
(his garden wliich are charming lo tiie eye,
and pleasunl to the taste; . but they are not
nil so. Let nie just remark llmt you are
currying into'this garden one of the most
doltoioui. and. delicate plants in nature; 1;
motui Good Ilumor. Don’t drop it, or loose
it as many have done, soon after they enter
ed, who seldom if ever found it.again, It is
DowNwAnn Tendency.—For some few
weeks says the Avgusta Republic ive have
been apprising our planting Iriends that every
indication seemed to justify the belief that
provisions, particularly Imcon and corn
bad a downward tendency in prices. These
commodities have given way, and nre yet on
the decline.
In the review of tlio Chnr.leslon market
for lhe week ending 14th, inst., we notice :
The stock of Corn is very large and prices
ipressed.
The inorkel is glutted with Oat
The supply of Hay in is increasing, and
prices have a downward
The stock ofBacon is laiv^^The market t-
depressed, and prices havesufiered a.decidod

Last Census of the. U. According; to
the Ceusus lecenlly taking, .the grand total
of lhe population of the United Slates is 23,-
644,607, showing an ..incrd|u lor the last ten
paths, which run much into one another;!
mean those'of Regularity, Exactness arid'
Neatness. Do not think as many do, that
ivhen you once are in, you may be careless
of your.person and dress. Item ember that
your companion will see some that are not
so; this dillerenco will strike his eyo,' if not
offcnd'it. ' Enter those paths almost ns soon
ns you enter the garden, and take my word
for it. you will never find it afterwards.
Near this' walk, is found that invaluable
shrub, HumiKig. This, though of no Worth
in itself, yet- joined to other good qualities,
is worth them all put together. It is never
se.en without being admired; and is most ad
mirable ivhen not visible. They say, “vir
tue is.its own reward;” I nm certain that
-pride is its own punishment, Flee from it
ns from contagion, which it strongly resem
bles. It infects and corrupts. Cultivate,
with all your core, tho humble plant not
mentioned, as the best antidote against the
poisonous weed.
Allow me now to drop a hint on the sub
joct of cultivation, as that most probably
will be your employment. Should you be
intrusted with the rearing of a flower, re
member two things; first, that it is but a
flower, however fair—frail in its nnture,
and fading .at every blast; and secohdly, that
it is a flower in trust, for tho cultivation of
which yon are accountable to the owner of
the gnrden.
Should you be a witness to a blast on its
dawning beauties, oh, how your flulteiing
heart will bleed with tenderness. Let af
fection sympathize. Your feelings may be
conceived, hut they cannot be described.—
The young shoot will naturally and insensff
l»ly twine round the fibres of your frame.—
Should it live and thrive, spare no pains to
tench the young production how to rise.—
Weed it, water it, prune it; it will need them
all. Without this, many weeds will spring
up, and poison the very soil on v. hich it
grows.
Heinember this is a trust for which you
are accountable to him who gave it. That'
you may he blest with the sweetest produc
tions of this gnrden—that they may bo the
delight of your eyes, -and that you and thorn
when tiie summer of this life is oyer may be
transplanted to some happier soil, and flour
ish in immortal vigor, in perfect and perma
nent felicity, is the sincere wish of your af
fect ionnle friend.
Wanted an Honest Industrious Boy,
We lately saw an advertisement headed
as above, It conveys to evory boy an im
pressive moral .lesson. .
“An honest, industrious boy” is always

“Now, Leroy Jenkins, hh’t you ashamed
of yourself, you nasty hound pup, and I ain
just now going to give you your bitlocs, you

In the meantime I leaned a little forward
to catch'« glimpse of his antagonists, but.
though die coast was comparatively clear, I
could seo no human face. Bave that' of the
speaker, and 1 w.-is now very Mire that ho
did not mean the horso, for he took tin' oppo
site direction. i land small time, holvet-er,
for reflection, for his speech waxed warmer,
he stepped a little forward, and aimed a sort
of a back-handed blow, wliich descended
with a keen sound and considerable force on
—his own back.
“There you infernal devil, lake llmt, and

himself back, and elevating his voice in that

dflolions, which are nauseous and noxious,
und even fatal in their tendency lo the uti-

’l'herc is a low, small plant which may be
seen in almost every piiih, called Indifference,
tho’ not perceived nt the entrance, You
will always know when near the plant,
though you do not see it, by a certain cold

change your situation ns soon ns you can.
■ in the same path is often found the ugly,
„ ellow (lower, called Jealousy, wliich I wish
you never lo look at. Turn from it ns fast
as possible: for it has a strange quality of
tinging the eye that, beholds it,-With a stain
which it s.ehiom gels rid of.
As you go iu, you will meet with . ninny
little, crooked paths; but do not go into
them. I advise you, ns n friend, never to

is written in large letters—'Jn the right way)

ference, and sometimes, a final separation in
the garden.
Near this spot you will meet with a slur
dy knotty plant, called Obstiimry, bearing a
hard, bitter fruit, w'hieh becomes fatal when
taken in large quantities. Turn from it as you
would the plague.'
Just opposite to this grows that lowly, lov
ing shrub Compliance, which though not
pioasani lo the palate Is-salutary and sweot,
tind produces the most delicious fruit in' the
garden. Never he witho.it n sprig of it in

Leory Jenkins.—While riding not
long since, in the old county of St—(I—d,
in Va., vnd passing along a rarely frequented
road, l hoard a noise that at onco arrested
my attention. It was a soliloquy in a very loud
key, and interlarded with an occasional oath to
prove that the colloquial was in oarnestfGui-
ding my horse in the direction of the voice,
I saw a fellow about half corned, deliberately
cutting a- long hickory switch, and talking
to himself at the same time, with great
earnestness. I thought at first.that he intended
to whip his horse, that stood tied hard by,
and I was about turning off, when a new set
of phrases in his self-talk arrested meat once,
and mado mo tho witness of the following
“Well now, Leroy Jenkins, I expect you’ll

first, before Leroy Je.ikins hide, gets painted

this, you trifling cuss you.’’
Being in some doubt whether Leroy Jen
kins was the name of his horse, or some ex
pected-combatant, whoso- preparations, of a
character similar to those I have mentioned,
were quietly progressing a short distance off,
I determined to wnit the issue of those fierce
threats, and throwing my leg Over my saddle,
I prepared to become a calm spectator of the
fight, and. perhaps an umpire when ono party
or the other ono got enough.
My friend of the hickory, ns soon as he
had cut and, trimmed his switch, and satis-

Throwing away the switch, which by this
time was a litttlo frayed nt the end, he re

In my travels through ’lie forests, with all
their hardships and perils, 1 have always
been happy—happier than in the crowded
city. I have laid me down ul night upon my
buffalo skin, and looked lit the innumerable
stars, and said 16 myself : This is God’s
reat temple. He fills it with his presence,
nm surrounded and penetrated by the Ktbr-
hnl Spirit. I cannot go where God is not.
Here it) these deep .solitudes-his eye marks
my stops mid watches over my slumbers.
Those reflections gave me unspeakable com
fort. I was happier than any society on
earth could have made me. But tho mind
loves change. The monotony of the scene,
the awful stillness—grew wearisome. And
when.suddenly the wolf set up his how
close by my rude pillow, 1 Hailed the sound
as the sweetest music. P huvo done my
part of frontier labor and. finest travel; but
had I only the strength to .bear it, 1 should
rejoice-lo resume the saddle, an; pursue
lost shtep iu the wilderness.” As 1 list!
