Orders attended to with the strictest care tn o’ the tcorld,” who know neither how to toil nor spin, who are yet clothed like tho lillies of the valley—who ibrom the piano, and, a few of the more dainty, the harp, who walk, as the Bible says, softly—who have read romances, and some of them seen the interior of theatres, who have been admired at the examination of their high school, who have wrought algebraic solutions on tho black board, who are, in short, the very roses of the garden, the ottar of life, who yet, horesco refereos, can never expect to be married, to live without—shall I speak, or forbear 7—putting their own lily hands to domestic drudgery. We go into tho interior villages of onr recent wooden country. The fair one sits down to clink the wires of the piaun. We see the fingers dis- played on the keys, which, we are sure, never preporAl a dinner, nor made a garment for her robnstious brothers. We traverse the streets of our own city, and the wires of the piano are thrummed in our ears from every considerable house. In cities and villages, from one extremity of the Union to the other, wherever thore is a good house, and the door and windows betoken the presence of tho mild months, the ringing of the piano wires is almost as universal a sound, as the domestic ham of life within. We need not enter in person. Imagination sees the fair one. erect on her music stool, laced, and pinioned, nnd reduced to a questionable class of entomology, dinging at the wires, as though she could, in some way, hammer out of them music, amusement and a husband.

Display, notoriety, surface and splendor, these are tho first aims of the mothers; and can we expect that the daughters will drink into a better spirit 7 To play, sing, dress, glide down the dance, nnd get a husband, is the lesson; not to be qualified to render his borne quiet, well ordered aud happy. It is notorious, that there will soonbe no inter mediate class between those who toil and spin and those whose claim to be ladies is founded on their being iucapable of auy value of utility.

If it should bo my lot to transmigrate back to earth, in the form of a young man, my first homages iu search of a wife would be paid to the thoughtful and palefaccd fair one, surrounded by her little, noisy, refractory subjects, drilling hor soul to fiatience, nnd learning to drink of the enp of earthly discipline, and more impressively lhaa by a thousand sermons, tasting tho bitterness of onr probationary course, in teaching the yonng idea how to shoot. Except, ns aforesaid, school mistresses aud bines, we believe, that all other damsels, dearly within tho purview of lhe term lady, estimate the clearness of their title pre cisely in the ratio of their usefulness. Allow a yonng lady to have auy hand in the adjustment ol all the components of her dress, each of which has a contour which only the fleet ing fashion of tho moment can settle; allow her time to receivo morning visitants, nud prepare for afternoon appointmests aud evening parties, and what time has the dear one to spare, to lie useful and good! To labor 7 Heaven forefend the nse of the horrid term! The simple state of the case is ibis. There ia somewhere, in till this, an enor mous miscalculation, un infinite mischief—an evil, os we shall attempt to show, not of transitory or minor importance, bnt fraught -with misery aud ruin, not only to the fair ones themselves, but to society and the age. We bavo not, wo admit, the elements on which to base tbo calculation ; but we may assume, as we have, that there ore in the United States a hundred thousand young ladies brought up tn do nothing, except dress, and pnrsno amusement.— Another hundred thousand learn music, dancing, aud what aro called tho fashionable accomplish ments. It has been said that “revolutions never move backwards.” It is equally trne of etnula tion of the fashion. The few opulent, who can afford to be good for nothing, precede. Another class presses as closely a* they can upon their steps; nnd the contagious mischief spreads down ward, till tho fond father, who lays everything under contribution, to famish the menus for pur chasing u piano, and hiring n masic-mnsler for bis daughters, iustead of being served, when be comes iu from the plough, by the ruined favorites for whom be lias sacrificed so much, finds that u ser vant must bo hired for the young ladies. Hero is not the end of the mischief. Every one knows that mothers and daughters give the tone and laws—more unalterable than that of the Medea and Persians—to society. Here ia the root of the matter, tbo spring of hitter waters.— Here ia the origin of the complaint of bard times, bankruptcies, greediness, avarice, and tho horse leech cry, “ Give, give 1” Here is the reason why tWery man lives np to his income, aud so many beyond it. Here is the reason why the young trader, starting on credit, and calling him self n merchant, hires and furnishes such a house as if he really was one, fails, and gives to his creditors a beggarly account of ompty boxes and misapplied sales. He has married a wife whose vanity and extravagance are fathomless, and his ruin is explained. Henco the general and preva lent evil of the present times, extravagance—con scious shame of the thought of being industrious and useful. I cannot conceive, that mere idlers, male or fe male, can have respect enough for themselves lo be comfortable. I cannot imagine, that they Popping tlic Question. The following is the “ confession” of an old bachelor, who describes himself as being now so dried up. that be is little better than a mummy, and expects some ol these days to be blown away into dust. He advises all young men to get mar ried, nnd tells them bow to manage the ” court ing.” The old fellow speaks like one who knows, though he has a touch ol the crnb-applo in him; perhaps bo got jilted wbou young, notwithstand ing ho pretended to have been so anfait: •* Now, gentlemen, this going a courting is noth ing to be afraid of, if, like me, one understands bow to do it. I don't tnean to boast, but—the fact was—in my young days I was up to a thing or two. In the first place give out yon are n marry ing man. It will smooth difficulties wonderfully. Brothers will invite you to dinner—mammas n9k their daughters to sing yonr favorite songs—ynur opinion will be asked ou all points, and if the family havo u country seat, you cau go there every Saturday niuht nnd stay till Monday, the summer through, without spending a snmarcheo. You’ve no idea, sir. what an easy tiling love-making be come* under sin-h ciren instances. A walk by moon light; a chance meeting, at early morning, in tho garden; or a sumimjr alter noon together in the alcove, does the bnsiness. To tell the truth I never came so near going on a voyage ns when T spent u week in the country with a bridesmaid I had waited on; there was a perfect paradise.— There we used to sit, and one day if ii hadn’t been that the o'd gentleman woke from his nap and threw np the parlor window just as I got his daughters band in mioe, the question would have popped itself. “ Yon stnre, hut I repeat, it would have popped itself. The fact is. between ourselves, these things tiecom- astonishingly natural, and after all, quite as if out- was brought up to them from a child. Dou’t trouble yourself about bow you look, or what you shall say; the beat thing yon can do is not to.lhink of the matter at all. bnt make a plunge nt once, and then tho business is soon over. There are n thousand ways to pop the question, as there are a thousand ways to make lovo. Some do it with easy impudence; some choke for words and stick fast; some deliver n set speech nnd look for a clean spot on the carpet to go on their knees; and some glide into it gradu ally like a hawk narrowing bis gyrations before he stoops, the poor girl sitting beside him all the time, her heart fluttering in her bodice like a fiiiliteucil liird. I've heard of one or two poor sinners who popped the question iu tho street — There’s only one way more certain to insure a re fusal. and that ia to propose by letter. A woman, let her love yon ss she will, is always frightened when she comes seriously to think of leaving her parents to trust her all to an entire stranger, and if you give her time to think of tbeso matters, coolly, ten to one she’ll give yon a deuial. I’m an old man and have seen the world, and let me tell yon, the girl who would yield in tears, on a moonlight evening, would write a civil refusal or equivocal answer tho next morning after breakfast. And then what a fool n lover makes ofliimself o.i paper. I read some letters tho other day; the Gods forgive me for writing such. “ It’s a mistake, sir, in these matters to leni^n helping hand ; nil they ask is to be lot alone ; and if there’s any meddling youngsters about, have them pnt to bed, or drowued, it don’t matter which, so they are out of the way. Only givo to the lovers fair play, kick your match-making aunts to the deuce, and—my life on it—tbo most demure will find a way of being understood, even if, like old Sir Isaac Newton, they have to make love with their feet. It may come ratber odd at first, but they will sit looking into each other’s eyes nntii by and bye, their bands will some bow steal into each other, and so getting cozier and cozier, tbo question, when they least expect it, ■Will pop out like a cork from a champaigue hot tie. It will pop itself." Oh! nothing so very alarming, my love, (how loviug they got to be.) I have only been prevailed nu, at the meeting to-night of the Democratic Couuty Convention, to allow ray name to be put up ns a candidate for Governor; and although I am fully prepared for all the scandal, political and personal, that can be anil will be showered upon ray head, I am not quite so callous as to what they might say of you, my dear wife.” “Ah! but Simon, my dear,” she said, as she approached to givo him a wife-like kiss in ac knowledgment uf his conjugal feelings, “you for get that whilst yon are a good, sterling, honest Democrat, I am considered the most stubborn Federalist in all Lancaster county. “ That’s true, very trne," said Simon,’' and so let’s try your housewifery, for the flavor of that venison pastry, and tho steam of that jug, (it was whisky punch, brewed by Susan’s own fair hands,) added to yonr adroit escapo frotn the di lemma T had placed you in, have so sharpened ray appetite that, unless you have provided bnuuli. fully, vve shall do what wo never did before— quarrel over a short allowance.” And Simon did get it—the abuse, I mean—and what is more, he got the office of Governor for three successive terms of three years each, and a better Governor never graced tho executive chair of Pennsylvania. con and vicinity. .. . .

Novels and romances may say Ibis or that about their ethereal beauties, their fine ladies tricked ont tn slaughter my lord A., and play Cupid’s archery upon dandy B., and despatch Amarylis C. to bis sonnets. I have no conception of n beau tiful woman, or a fine man, in whose eye, in whose part, ia whose whole expression, this sentiment does not stand embodied:—“I nm called by my Creator to duties; I have employment on the earth; my sterner bnt more enduring pleasures are in discharging my duties.” Compare the sedate expression of this sentiment in the conntensnco of man or woman, when it is known to stand, as tbo index of cbaracter and tbe fact, with the superficial gaudiness of n simple, good for nothing belle, who disdains usefulness and employment, whose empire is a ball-room, and whose subject dandies’, as silly and as useless as herself. Who, of tbo two, bas most attractions for a man of sense? Tbe one a help-mate, a for tune in herself, who can aid to procure, if the bus- hand has it not; who can soothe him nnder tbe loss of it, and wbat is more, aid him to regain it; and the others painted butterfly, for amusement only during the vernal months of prosperity ; and then not becoming a chrysalis, an inert moth in adversity, but a croaking, repining, ill-tempered termagant, who can only recur to tbe days of her short-lived triumph, to imbitter the misery, and poverty, and hopelessness of a husband, who, like herself, knows not to dig, nod is ashamed to beg. We are obliged to avail of severe language in application to a deep-rooted malady. Wo want words of power. Wo need energetic and stern applications. No country ever verged moro ra pidly towards extravagance and expenso. In a young republic, like ours, it is ominous of any thing bnt good. Men of thought, nnd virtue, and example, are called upon to look to this evil. Ye patrician families, that croak, and complain, and forebode the downfall of the republic, hero is the origin of your evils.

O. riCAVtJ.MC.] Clean Skirts, or the Governor’s Wife A TALE FOR POLITICIANS. As I have idle time on my hands. I will tell you an anecdote of tho “ good old time” of 1809. in Pennsylvania, wheu the animosity of party, the rancorous feelings of Federalists against Demo crats, was eveu greater than it is now between the parties of tiie day, when the spirit of bitter- ness in the contest was not confined to tbe politi cal cbaracter or even persoual life of prominent men. bnt invaded the sanctuary of their homes, and retailed the petty scandal, real or more often invented, ofthe domestic circle. In those days we bad a very wealthy citizen nnd politician, ycleped Simon Snyder. Simon the tanner. You remember him, no doubt. You don’t 7 True—I beg pardon, yon are of morn ro- centdays: bnt Ido: that is, I remember hurra ing lor him once when I should have hurraed for his opponent, Ross, at which all tbe rest of the boys set up such a shout of derision that I wont off crying to my excellent mother, who “didn’t know I was out” at ail, much less that I had been committing such a political blander in the pienti- tude of my precocious ardor. Now, Simon was a good man, and a rich man; tanner and n Democrat; be bad frequented word meetings and played secretary, and then chairman; then bo became a member ol the le gislature, then speaker, and finally , bnt I mast not anticipate. It was a raw and gusty night, from which yon will infer that the wind whistled and the rain pat tered ; little children huddled close to tho hearth stone; tho flat coach-drivers—(alas for the jolly dogs of those good old days! I could almost find " in my heart to ran every cab “ off the track” if it were only to revive tbe race of amusing loqoa city once more)—buttoned on an extra overcoat, took an extra “ horn” and drove tbeir bays with a fury that seemed to bid defiance to both wiud and weather! It was on “ such a night" that Simon’s most excellent wife, (wo didn’t say lady in those good old days, neither did Washington Irving, a few years later, when he wrote his Sketch Book,) his wife sat comfortably by the blazing hickory, (shall I over see such a fire once more 7) and grad ually- lapsing into a sort of snrprise as to what conld have become of her excellent husband (that’s a homely phrase for these modern days why should not a lady say roy geutlemau 7) whoso habits were, to tell the honest truth, tho more regular from tbe placid boud of affection that ex isted between them. At length his step was heard, find she prepared to meet him with one of her most encouraging receptions, namely, a sweet, smiling welcome, and—a good sapper. But Master Simon entered with o rather sedate step, shook the rain from bis bearskin coat, huug up his bat, and scarcely no ticing his wife, so deeply was ho absorbed in some engrossing subject of reflection, sank into a seat before tbe fire without even giving it a poke, and fell at once into a deeper reverie. Tbe wife saw that something was in tbe wind, although, ns her husband’s countenance betrayed only auxious thought, without any traces of vexation or dis tress, and knowing well his habits, she waited patiently the development of the mystery. “ Wife,” said he at last, “ wife.” “ Well, Simon, my dear, what is it?" A long pause, ond this time there was a punch at the fire with the tongs, (in modern day» poker, the ngly things, I hate ’em,) and a stirring up of tbe bountiful hickory coals. “ Wife,” said Simon. " Well, husband, I am listening, what is it 7” “ Aro you on pretty good terms with nil your neighborsl” “ Certainly. Why should I bo otherwise 7” The fact is, that Mrs. Snyder was not only a very amiable woman, bnt a lady, too, whom every body esteemed. “ Sure you liav’nt had nny little differences with auy of them? Auy small epars that may grow, or be mado to grow, if occasion should of fer, into downright hostilities 7” “ Why, no, my dear, not tho sligbteat that I con possibly remember. Why do you ask ?” But her question was unheeded. “Sure, now, that you liav’nt dropped any re marks lately before some ‘ particular friend’ about little Tommy Jones’ squint, or Nancy Sims’ lamo knee, that might have come to t’ueir dotiug mo thers’ ears T Nothing of that kind, eh 7’j FROM TEE CINCINNATI SCN. Rejected Candidates for Frc-ident. Not every one has been elected President, who has been thought til for it. by a considerable num ber, if not tbe majority < of tbe intelligent people of the country. There has coine to be a wide distinction between fituess and availability. Nor is this altogether a recent thing. At all times, except in the case of Washington, (who vvaa both lit and available) there bas been moro regard paid to the arrangements ol parties, and the pop ularity of the day. than to what was the real stuoding ofthe individoal before the nation in ex - perience, qualifications, moral and political worth. Mr. Mnnroe, for example, was elected with less opposition, than any man since tho day of Wash ington. And, yet it would bo an absurdity to sup pose that lhe Intelligent people of this country thought him superior to Dewilt Clinton,or Adams. They did no such thing. Mr. Monroe was no in offensive man; and by the arrangement of cuusea, the last legitimate heir of tbe Virginia Dynasty. Ho bud to serve out his time, and the war of par ties, since furiously carried on, was tbe legacy left by his administration to tbe country. But there bnve been many persnns actually voted for who were never elected, and who, ij the opinion of tens of thousands of persous were thought fit for the Presidency ; and when, ns was the case, the persons so thinking were among the most intelligent aud respectable in the couutry, that vote is a high honor. We have only to look over the short roll of Presidential contests, to see that success has uot always beeu (ho greatest honor, nor defeat always a disgrace. Lot us see, who iiave been voted for as President, and iook over the roll of the rejected. In 1789 and 1793, there was no opposition to Washington. In 1797, John Adams ami Thomas Jefferson were tho o/>- posing candidates, and Adams elected. In 1801 J etlVrsou and Adams were again opponents, aud Jefferson elected. At this election all persons wero voted for as President, aud no ono as Vice President, tho highest lo be President, and the next highest to bo Vice President. Aaron Burr, who was intended as Vice President, hail an equal number of votes with Jefferson, and a part of the Houso of Representatives endeavored to make him President. The scheme failed, and he became Vice President. Burr was never voted for with the idea of making him President. Hois not on the list of those whom the people have thought fit for President. In 1805. Jefferson and Charles Cotesworth l’iuckuey, ol South Carolina, were voted for—the tatter receiving but 14 Electoral votes. In 1809, James Madison, Charles Cotesworth Pinckney, and George Clinton of New York, were voted for as President. Pinckney received but 47 votes, and Cliuton 6. In 1812, James Madison and DeWitt Clinton were vot^d for—Clinton receiving 89 Electoral votes. In 181G, J»me« Monroe received 183 votes, and Rufus King 34. * In 1820, John Quincy Adams received tho only vote in opposition to Mr. Monroe. In 1824, John Quincy Adams was elected, Jackson. Crawford and Clay, being bia opponents. In 1828, Jackson was elected—Adams being his opponent. In 1832, Jackson elected—Clay, John Floyd of Virginia, and William Wirt of Maryland, being his opponents. In I83G, Van Buren was elected, Gen. Harri son, Judge White, Daniel Webster, and Willie P. Manguiu, being bis opponents, tn 1840, it was Harrison and Van Buren. In 1844, Clay and Polk. In 1348, Cass nnd Taylor. Wo ainst re collect, however, that in 1824, and since, Mr. Calhoun lias beeu ardently held up for the Presi dency; and so has Judge McLean. Let us now look at the list of the rejected — Those are Charles Cotesworth Pinckney and John C. Calhoun, of South Carolina; Georgo Clinton, DeWitt Clinton, and Rufus Kiug, of New York ; William H. Crawford, of Georgia; Henry Clay, of Kentucky; John Floyd, of Virginia; William Wirt, of Maryland ; Hngb L. Wbite.of Tennessee: Dauiel Webster, of Massachusetts; Willie P. Mangum, oi'North Carolina; Lewis Cass, ol Michi gan ; and John McLean, ofObio. Now, we think, no one who reads the roll of the Presidents, and then reads the roll of the re jected, will think the Presidency lias been the prize of genius, of greatness, or even of worth.— No one will suppose, that in tbo volume of His tory, such men as Monroe, Van Boren and Polk, will outshino such illustrions names as DeWitt Clinton. Rufas King, William H. Crawford, or Henry Clay! No. The Presidency bas been given for service rendered, undoubtedly, but not always service of the highest or the best kind. Among the rejected candidates have been Demo crats, Federalists, Whigs, and wo speak impar tially. when we say, that there are few brighter names iu onr country, than those, which may bo colled, from the rejected candidates lor the Presi dency ; aud, when hereafter, other rejected are added to the list, they will havo the satisfac tion of being associated with men whose statues will be called for when Presidents are forgotten. An Atincouda Loaw. A letter writer ia Paris, writing to a New York paper, tells tbe following tough one: The Hippodrome'is preparing o spectacle enti. tied the “ Christian Martyr.” The wild beasts that are to figure in the performance have jost arrived from Africa, and number some twenty in all. They came by railroad from Havre, and in tbe same train was a box containing an enormous boa constrictor. By some unexplained mystery, tho boa managed to get ont on tbo way up, and gliding from one car to another twiued himself two or three times round the locomotive. The engineer bad the presence of mind to shut off tbe steam, and then he and tbe stroker, more dead than alive, clambered back on to the train. Iu due time they came to ajatop, and Mr. Fiebert, tbe keeper of tbe animals, sallied forth with two Moors, his assistants, to recapture tbe horrible reptile. It seems tho animal was tolerably tamed and knew his master. So, after a two hoar’s chase, ho allowed himself to bo caught and caged. Why conld not this boa havo had a special train 7 Tho biggest of all bores—Monseignonr . had a private conveyance last month, when he wont to Sologne. The constrictor has not been treated with the respect due to his rank. How to be a Man.—It is not books alone, or by books chiefly, says Carlyle, that a man is in all points a man. Study to do faithfully whatsoever thing in your actual situation, then aud now, you find either expressly or tacitly laid down to your charge—that is, your post; stand In it like a true soldier. Silently devour the many chagrins of it, all situations bavo many, and see you aim not to quiet, without doing all that is at least required of yon.- A man perfects himself by work, much moro thau by reading. There aro a growing kind of meu that wisoly combiuo the two things— wisely, valiantly, can do what is laid to their hand in the present sphere, and prepare themseivm withall, (or doiug other, wider things, if such bu before them.
