who is ever saying:
“It was ever thus from childhood’s
hour,
I’ve seen my fonde t hopes decay ;
I never loved a girl an hour.
But what she was first to move

Mr. Isaac Thrasher has moved into

Athens, he did not fail to call on our
friend, ;r. C'. Wilkins, the stove
man, and procured one of those ex¬

U'o heartily recommend Mr. Hull

Ten Rules lor Domestic Happiness.
We have been handed, with request
to publish, the following rules for do¬
mestic happiness, which we give below:
1. Every year let your eye be fixed
oa God, through the L .rd Jesus Chri-t,
that the influence of liis Holy Spirit,
you may receive your mercies as com
mg from Him, and that you may use
them to His glory.
2. Never suffer your regard for
each other’s society, to rob God of your
heart, or of the time which you owe to
God and to your own soul.
3. Be careful that custom and habit
do not lessen your attention to each
other, or the pleasing satisfaction with
which they are both shown and re eived.
4. \\ lienever jou perceive a lan
gour in your affection, always make it
a rule to suspect yourself. The object
which be once still inspired regard, and may blame per
haps, the same, the
only attach to you.
6. Be sure to avoid unkind and
irritating language. Always conci i
utc. It is your interest aim your duty.
Recollect what God his borne within
you. Study partner's character
fi. your
and disposition. requisite Many little lice
adjustments are for happiness.
You must noth accomodate or you will
be unhappy. Do You
7- not expect too much.
are riot always the mute, your part
nei’s sensih.tity must be war,bed over,
or it will become its own tormenter.
8. V\ hen you discover failings
which you did not sus; ect and this you
may be sure will be the case, make i
your prayer that your regard be m.t
diminished. If you are heirs of die
grime of life, your failing will be
shortly over; you divine will hereafter be
perfe.it and iu each the other image, esteem
care ,or now, as you cer¬
tainly will then. Forbearance is the
trial and grace of this life only.
9. die Forget not that one of you
must first, one of you must feel
the pain and the chasm of separation,
\ thousand little errors may then
wo11 „d the survivor’s heart,
10. Pray constantly Prayer yea need
much prayer. wifi engage God
ju your behalf. His blessing can make
you happy iu the midst of your mer¬
cies. Blessed be His holy name, fie

sorrows. Never pass a day without
