Always! in the cliihi. in the
maiden, the wife, the mother, relig
ion shines with a holy benignant
beauty, of its own, which nothing
on earth can mar.—Lever yet was
the female character perfect with
out tiie steady faith of piety, beau
ty, iutellecuj.il wealth ! They are
all like pitfalls, dark in the brightest
day, unless the Divine light, unless
religion throws her soft beams a
rouud them to purify and exalt,
making tw.ee glorious that winch
s joined all loveliness before.

,Uy Mini ■■l.ovc Aitalr.”
At atiout seventeen years of ago, (on
i Wednesday utiernooim,) ) attend id a school
i where the mystery of die “1 ght fantastic
toe’’ was taught.
The school was large, raid the scholars
were the daughters and s,,ns of the mer
chants of one of our most populous sea-
I ports.
There were some exceeding!. pretty
girls among them; and the town was noted 1
for ihe beauty of its females. There was
; one rosy-checked miss, rather older than |
I myself, whose dancing aas particularly
’ Spirited and graeclu!. 8!: ■ was not tall
but finely formed, and her eyes were of
great beauty and brilliancy. Her temper
was very lively and her conversation pol
i ished and humorous. All those qualities
! were very attractive to a lad, who seemed
to live only for “fun” and enjoyment.
! Whenever an opportunity ottered, 1 selec
ted her for my partner in the dance.—She
] seemed “nothing loth,” and we were most
happy. But 1 could not talk to her, for
my bashfulncss was extreme. I would
have given one of my arms to have been
i able to say to her tender things which
i crowded upon my heart,
j But I found it in vain, and was forced to
I content myself with only looking “unutter
! able emotions.”
Some months past in this blissful intcr
! course. She treated me as if 1 was a
I promising boy, who might grow to soine
’ tiling. In this she did not show much
i judgment; for although young in years, 1
neiievc I was as capable of an exalted and
j soul subduing passion as at any subsequent
| period of my life. And 1 proved it, by
i wasting away and losing all my hilarity of
I spirits in the sober meditations of a first
j attachment.
! There was, during the winter, “a party”
!of young people of both sexes, at my un
j de's. The young dancer (into my aIL-c
----| tions ) vas one of the invited. 1 mother
| there, for the first time where our inter-
I co irse could tic unrestrained,
i I succeeded, after divers efforts, which
sent, the perspiration in streams to my fore
head, in seating myself at her side; and af
| ter a stammering attempt, at last subdued
into an interesting conversation,
j The evening passed off delightfully and
the party rose to go home. Then wateh
i ing .i y opportunity, I asked leave to attend
my fair one to her dwelling.
She smilingly consented. We walked
] slowly along tuc quiet streets of the town,
|ap rt from the rest of tiie party, and now
i and th u putting and answering some
i question of trival i tercst.
The walk, although near a mile, seemed
not more than a few steps, lier stately
i edi ce appeared in vie . I walked stilt
: slower. We reached the steps of the front j
door. There was a light on the kitchen i
health, which announced that all tiie fami
ly had retired for the night.
| She ascended the door-st p, and stop
ped. ihe bright moon shone full upon
. tier radiant face aswhe raised her bine eyes
r. that patron, ss of lovers.
I seized her nund. She made no effort
to take it away. 1 looked up into her face,
and .-he looked down at me, an . (1 can’t
say now it was done!) our lips came to
gether —>\ arm, blushing, trembling with
emotion. I took—l believe —on!v one
sis.s; b.u t.iat vvassuificient for that ecstatic
moment.
film s rang within the door, saying,
“Good-n ght!” in tones which sounded to
my ear like the softest ami sweetest breatli-
I ing of an Aeolian harp; and the door closed
1 upon her charms.
j That was the lirst love kiss I ever gave!
and received!
I walked slowly toward my own home, 1 j
believe, on the tips of toes. 1 stopped af- j
ter a few stops to get breath. I looked up |
at the unclouded moon, and she seemed to
wink at me roguishly, and s.,y •
j “I saw you, vou rogue!”
And then, leaning on the bars of a raii
: ing, near a green pasture, 1 murmured ;
“How delicious that was!”
I Was ever ro-e-!enf softer and sweeter
than her lips. Did ever a Mute sound such
■ gentle notes, as the sound that fell from
her tongue. That “good night!” Ah!
if an angel had leaned from yon cloud —
which looks as ifit was the chariot of the
’ moon—he could not have whispered j
“peace” in more ravishing strains than that
“goodnight.” Ah! .lacs! you’re a lucky j
fellow! Millions of blessings descend and
i res upon her home!
Thus soliloquising 1 reached my father’s!
dwelling. I entered the kitchen door, 1
softly and slyly. Ali the lights were ex-1
tinct. 1 locked the door and crept towards
the parlor. “llow nice,” thought I, “that|
all have gone to bed. Not one soul upto;
break in upon tbe heaven of my feelings!"’
I opened, very softly, the parlor door.— ’
Thunder and eartbqua es—there sot my !
father! He was dosing in his armchair,
but my entrance roused him.
“This is pretty doing for a boy! what
upon earth have you been doing? Tell
me, sir, where have you b en so late?
-Only waiting upon the ladies home j
from the party, sir!”
“Ladies!” lie exclaimed with a sneer. -
“How long since they learned to go alone;
and left off their sucking bottles and dolls?
Mere children! Go to bed, sir. And when

you can feel that your chin begins to be .
rough, you may consider yourself capable
of gallanting the ladies, and perhaps of
feeling a preference for one among their
mini nr. At present, you are about as fit
for a beau, as an old cat is for a coach
horse.
1 sneaked oil’ to bed, and should have
fallen into a tit of yellow dispondeucy, had 1
not suddenly renumbered the lints of the
great Shakspeare:
•‘The < ourse of true love never yet ran smooth.”
So I hugged myself with the reflection,
aim dreamed of tualiii.kssed kiss.
Who niitlirS tile best Wives!
Not a few of our readers, we arc per- j
suaded, will be arrested by the caption of
of this article.—The subject of which it
treats has been one of umveisa ly acknowl- j
edged interest and importance ever since
the day when it was averred by the wise
man that “whosoever obtain* th a wife, ob
tained) a good thing.” Bachelors as we
arc, our own views on such a theme, amount
only to specu ation. The following, how
ever, from the Philadelphia Ledger, must
commend itself to general approbation from
the tone of practical wisdom which per
vades it.
“By all means marry a woman with ;
money,” say careful lathers to their sons; J
“you’ll find it as easy to get a suitable j
wife, who has a little fortune.” “Give me J
beauty, grace and accomplishment,” is the !
mental answer of enthusiastic youth, “and j
leave rueicenarv considerations to baser j
souls.”
We submit that neither is l ight. It is j
infinitely more important that ay.mug man ,
should choose a healthy, atniab! , and in- j
lelligeiit partner, than tuat he should se- i
lefttcitlnr a beauty or an heiress. The
latter lias usually expensive habits, and, by
tile time she lias been married twenty |
vears, has cost her husband the amount :
of li r loriunu in superfluities. Besides, i
heiresses are generally brought up in idle- !
ness, spending their time in reading i
novels, lounging about on the sofa, t
or acquiring a taste for lushionable j
dissipation; so that they are either absurdly ,
romantic or out of health from want of ex- |
tsreise orlrom late hours, and, therefore, en- ]
tirely unfit to make good wives. Beauties,
on tiie other band, mostly aio vain or gid- !
dy, if not both. Jf wives were designed]
for playthings, or had no purpose beyond
being parlor ornaments, a beauty might
be desirable, j st us pictures are on line
furniture, Tne man wno marries an licir
ess sacrifices his independence and ends
by finding he is out of pi cket also. Tite
lover who weds merely lbr beauty ties
himself to u doll, which lias not even the
merit ot being sure to keep its painted
, cheeks.
Those women make the best wives who
combine common sense with good temper,
I v ho have been brought tip to help tneui
| selves, ami who bring sound constitutions,
| eqtiaole spirits, and a sincere alie ti n as a
’ dov. ry to their lovers. A wile shouiu ho
i her husband s best friend—she should be
competent to counsel him m difficulties, to
cheer him in sorrow, to render his every
day hearth the pleasantest spot to him to !
he loutid anywhere. 11 she has con- ;
firmed ill-heaith she cannot he ad this to
him; neither can she if she has a crooked
temper, or habits o. indolence, oris deli
cient in practical sense. Ibe woman
whose whose heart is devoted to show,
to company, or to idle accomplishments, ’
may possibly make an interesting belle,
but she is sure to prove a very inuillorent i
| wife. We would not have young girls
neglect the beautiful entirely;, but that
i winch adorns sliouid be made subservient
to some more soli 1 superstructure. ‘1 o
know how to play the last new air, yet he
ignorant how to compound tiic last new
; pudding is surely unpardonable. A man
mignt as well neglect to learn a business
as a woman refuse to acquire a knowledge
of housekeeping.
It is useless to disguise the fact that girls
are too often directed to attract kivers rath
er than to retain the affections of husbands. :
This is especially true to the dsugbters of
families above the necessities of daily laboi.
Mrs. F. the successful mechanic’s wife,
makes a virtual slave of herself by drudg
ing, late and early, in order that Anna Marta
: not) be “brought up,” as tne phrase is,
“like a lady.” The young Miss according
j ]y, is crammed tilth music, dancing,
I French, and other hddle-iadd.es, is tool
always to carry her shoulders oak, mid
. never to romp, and is taugut to const cr
| work as degrading.— W nut sort oi a wile
I can such a creature make? ll she matrici
any body but a rich man, her idle and ex
pensive habits keep him always poor. If
1 she catches a prize, which, perhaps, one
in a thousand may do, ten to out; she and s
i gusts tier husband. In another case she
; is alwa s out of health, the consequence
, of w ant of exercise in girlhood) and, ii she
, has offspring, entails her weakness uatur
; ally on tier progeny. Physicians do not
hesitate to say that a large proportion of
female invalids of the present generation—
i and their number is known to be legion—
j owe tbeii complaints to the lolly of parents
iu neglecting to bring ‘them up properly.
A woman’s heart is like a fiddle;
lit requires a how to play on it
Social UespvtiNin.
TANARUS,. ratify, in whatever form it may ex
ist, never tails to excite feelings ofdisap
i probation and hatred. Its nii-me at once
brings to tile mind a!i that is revolting in
j cruelty or base in submission. Since the
creation, it lias occupied a place, in the
world, and the cry of suffbring and the
wail of woe, have ever been its attendants:
Nothing free or noble can flourish iu iis
pros, nee. Bold designs, and lofty aspira
tions are crushed beneath its iron hand,
1 and intellect is compelled to grovel in the |
| dust. But it is not in empires and king
i oms alone that we are to look for (lie in
fluence of tymliny. In the social circle is
| often a tyranny as severe in its laws, and
as rigid in its exactions as any w hich the
Bussian Autocrat has ever conceived. This
is-sccial despotism, one of the greatest
evils under which society has ever groaned.
There are two classes of social de-poe ,
which differ however lar less in kind limn
in degree. But differing only in tins, the
line of distinction is cry clear and ciiduit.
! The amount of influence which cnh . lass
lexeits is veiy unequal. W hile tiie one

Opposed to every plan's, and ovey man's
j opinions are opposed to his. The grand
! secret of this oppo itiun lies, undoubted y,
j in his bigotry, which causes him to think
that he is possessed of the brightest talents
and the rarest accomplishments, lie never

The other class, while they make le,-s ‘
show, and are far less know u by name, re
ally exercise an immense power in society
It is here alone that social despotism as
sumes its most hateful foim, and liecoirn i
a prolific source of human misery, it im
- parts fury to the raging:-, of party spirit,
adds bitterness to the spirit ol'reiigiuus con
troversy, and gives increased violence to
j every demonstration of human passion.— j
The pow er of the social despot is seldom
‘ sufficiently known, or properly estimated
lie issues no proclamations which make
nations tremble, no mandates which carry
terror in their course. J!ul bis dictates are
none the less thoroughly or readily obeyed.
He collects around him nil who are gained
by the estimation which they have of his
merits, or attracted by the splendor of his
genius; and these are ready ut any mo-’
ment to obey his every belies). Whatever
ali'erls him, affects them in a two-fold do- j
gree. The conduct and actions of every
man must come under his review, and ho 1
: subjected to his criticisms. Should an in
the community incur his displeasure, it is a
sure omen of their ruin. The command of
the chief is given tohi.s accomplices, his
machinations are set to work, to ensure
their downfall, or cause their departure.--
The miserable victim is subjected to the
rack, without being acquainted with his,
crime, or brought to face his accusers.--
The atrocities of Nero might be moie open
ly violent, but could not be more malig
nantly cruel. All llil- t. me, the despot hiti.
self, remains undiscovered and unknown,
and woe unto him who attempt 1 ’ to lit! the
silvered veil and reveal the hideous fern .
Few things are more injurious to society,
or more fatal to (he iftt rest of mankind,
than such a system. It promotes enmi
ties, creates distrust, and is often the fruii
fu! source of eiim<\ Well may we con
demn a system so pregnant w ith and. true
timi to all human happiness, and well may
we condemn those who uphold such a sys
tem. Hevohitmn has followed (evolution,
and sea- of blood have been spilled to se
cure the oh -ing of national iuiii pend; nee.
Europe is now di ten ek’d by war-, and sha-
ken by revolutions, for the obUiinuictit ol
the same great end. We shall bail w ith 1
joy !he day when the Bonner of freedom ‘
shall wave in triumph over every nation o|
theworld. But we would not stop here. -
We would lime the Spirit of liberty pro
