rOi HUSBANDS AND wives.
In the flash and brilliancy nf early mar
ried love, tbe first faint impression of the fu
ture husband and wife commence. As lovers
their seperate dispositions were in a state of
pleasant antagonism ; ns a wedded pair they
•are presumed to be amalgamated, and form
an entirety which recognizes mutual pleasures
mutual interest,” ad vantages and concessions,
as the basis of their mutual happiness’ The
husband, even in the dawn of his ma.ital bliss,
should begin to create in bis wife’s mind
those favorable sensations which are the pre
cursors of those more solid ideiis which bind
woman to man—by that strong, ivisible in
tercommunion of soul which only death can
interupt. This obligation is equally impera
tive on the wife.
In the hey-day of her husband’s love,
while his heart bents responsive to her every
wish, and his mind is a fair tablet on which
none but Summer thoughts are engraved, she
should begin the study of his character, so
that when the necessity arises she may be
able to accommodate her own more plastic
one to it, without effort or inconvenience.—
Indeed, with both of them this should fcarly
bean object of anxiety, so that .gradually
there should erow up between them a concil
iatory predisposition of tone afid manner
which, when brought into requisition, would
appear more a habit than a duty. Both hus
band and wife object to any thing that, looks
like compulsion; they each-turn away from
even a duty, when clothed in repelling gar
ments; and from this it will be apparent how
necessary it is that the soiloftlieu her tempers,
and peculiar mental and moral idiosyncracies,
should as early as practicable be sowm only
with those seeds which in after years will
yield the-sweet smelling flower, that shed
such a delicious perfume over hallowed and
long tried wedded love.
DON’T ACT A LIE. -
When I was quite young I once acted a
lie, and my heart is sad when ever I think of
it. One day w hen my mother had company
she took the china sugar bowl to the kitchen
to fill it. I stood beside her while she was
cutting up the large pieces. For a moment
she left her work. X knew I ought not to do
it, but I thought I would try to cut a little:
hut as X brought dowrr the knife to strike, X 1
hit the handle of the, sugar bowl, and down
it fell; and in a moment I put the handle in
its place, and shoved it under the wall, so
that it need not fall off. I had hardly dane
so when mother came hack if I had on
ly told her the truth then x- but something
whispered, don’t tell yet; wait a little.
Mother went on with her work;
a heavy blow jarred the howl, and dotvn fell
the handle. If mother had looked in my
face, idle would not have said, “Why, can it’
be that such ajar should break the handle?
but I see I was careless in setting it against
the wall.”
I was on (lie point of saying “No mother,
it was 1 that was cateless, I did it,” hut some
thing said, Duu’t tell at all now; it can’t he
KcTped ;so I kept still, and acted a lie. I did
not say I did not do it ; but by saying noth
ing, 1 made believe I did not, and X left my
mother be deceived. I meant a lie and it is
the thonghs we have in the heart that God
looks at.
Not many months after that, my mother
was taken sick. I was sent away from home
to stay most of the time. When my father
came for me, and told me that she could nev
er get well, that she must soon die, that lie
came up before, me and I felt as though my
heart would break. Now,l thought, I would
tell her. But when.l reached home, she was
so sick ana weak she could only see me for a
moment, and they hurried me away before I
could tell her. She died shat night. Oh
what bitter tearsT shedasT looked upon tliaT
sweet, Cold face, and remembered how 1 had
deceived her.
Many years have passed since then; but
when ! go home and see that sugar bowl
still without a handle, my sin comes before
me. I never think of it hut my heart is hea
vy. I hope God has forgiven me ; though I
can never forgive myself. And when I see
a child trying to deceive, even in sport, only
“making believe,” 1 always want to beg him
tftyer to deceive, never to maker believe a
lie. —-Ch iid'ejPaper. A
AARON BURR’S TOMB STONE. „
In I’arton’s life af Aaron Burr wo find the
following in regard to the “mysterious” stone
that marks his burial place. AVe extract as
follows:
“ As all in the life of Aaron Burr had some
thing of strangeness nnd peculiarity, it is not
surprising, per hap, that a stone could not be
placed over his gra.vc except in an extraordi
nary manner. ‘Some efforts Were made, and
some money w|s subscribed, soon after his
death, to procure a suitable monument, t but
the project failed through the inattention of
an agent. For nearly two years the spot
where he lay was unmarked, when’one morn
ing it was discovered that a small, very sub
stantial, nnd not expensive monument of gra
nite and marble had-been placed, during the
night, over his remains. The Cemetery at
I’rinceton is situated in a aomewhat thjckly
inhabited lane, and is overlooked, in every',
part, by people living upon its borders. The
principal gate is kept locked. No one in tile
town saw the monument erected, or knew
or knows /any thing whatever respecting it.
Nor was there any stone-cutter in the vicini
ty competent to execute such a piece of
work. No relative of Colonel Burr, nor any
of my informants explain tbe mystery. The
person who did the pious deed is known,
however, and lives. Need I say that to a
woman’s'liberal hand Burr owes the stone
that commemorates his name.”
One hundred and nine young gentlemen
were admitted to tbe degree of M. D., at
the medical department of the University of
Nashville k few days since.
THE HAT THAT MAKES THE GENTLEMAN.
Os all articles of dress, snys the Boston
Courier, none has so much influence upon the
opinion of the public as the hat. “A shock
ing bad hat” is the expression of the extreme
disapprobation of the man who wears it.—
We do not think an opinion of character |
founded upon a fact of this kind, ia absolutely
to be relied upon. We can conceive of a
man’s wearing a shocking bad hat and being
a good citizen, an exemplary father of a fam
ily, an honest main and even a Christian—
But we admit the prima facie evidence is
against it. Liook at the criminals in the docks;
they are without a single exception, persons
distinguished by the badness of their hats,—
The first step towards reforming a convict is
to give him anew hat. Anew hat excites in
the first place, the emotion—it may boa de
ceptive one—of respectability. The man who
puts it on feels like a gentleman, it may be a
mistaken feeling. lie walks the streets with a
concinusness of seeming virtuous if not being
so. All great philosophers know that noth
ing has a more powerful tendency to quake a
man good, than to consider and treat him as
such : and universally the man who wears a
good hat isXtelti to be a good man, until the
opposite is proved. A constable would nev
er arrest a well hatted man on mere suspi
cion. He would require the oath of at least
two respectabl&witnesßcs. The case agniust
him must he flagrant, or heavy damages
would be the consequence of ao rash an act.
On the other hand, the wearer of a bad Imt
—one knocked in at the side, jumped down
at the top, filled with dust because it is inno
cent of the brush ; worn in the rim down in
the smooth; such a person is a just object of
public suspicion, lie can not help looking
like a miserable rogue; a mere varlet. He
steaks along the protecting fronts of street
shops; lie shrinks from notice —die can. hard
ly stand up like a man, in the presence of a
innn. If he lias a case in court it is sure to
go against him, however clearly the law may
be in his favor, Jf he carries about a sub
scription paper, in behalf of the most deserv
ing charity, the gveatest philanthropists snub
agd refuse him. Who would venture into
the piesence of bis mistress, in such a hat,
and not expect art instant dismissall Who
would dare to put the question to the idol of
his idolatry, in such a hat ? What woman
with proper sensibility would not reject, with
out a moment’s hesitation, the suitor* at
her feet, whose hat was open to any of
the above criticisms? Mr. l’eter Magnus
was quite right to be anxious about the bat
of which lie said that money would not buy
such another, when on his way to make pro
posals to the middle aged lady. A great mor
al truth is illustrated in the story of.this gen
thrman’s wooing and its result, so well told
in Pickwick. It becomes then a high social
and moral bu y not only to give heed to our
way-s but to our bats.
ANOTHER ROYAL MARRIAGE.
W e gave, a short time ago, a lengthy ac
count of the marriage between the English
IMricess and the Russian Prince, in London.
The Citjy News” of the 3d inst.
contains the particulars of the marriage of a
Pawnee Chief to a'blood-royal squaw of the
Otoe tribe. The bridegroom was named
Whitewater, nnd the bride Wali-musli-pe
shinga. We extract the following, not doubt
ing that it will be relished by our readers :
The Chieftain’s daughter was elegantly
dressed in a red flanned shirt with deep blue
calico border, a checked apron, a summer
killed buffalo robe,and aTfbite felt hat. Her
jewels were magnifiieent. From either au
ricular suspended bright ornaments of brass,
tin and copper.
We must not omit to mention that Miss
1 Wa-mnsli-pe-shinga also wore a “ red petti
coat,” embroidereiX according to a design of
her own, with porcupine quills, representing
a desperate dog fight. Her entire wardrobe
couTd hot have cost less thau six thousand
dollars in Fontonelle money. The bride
groom was attired in all the magnificence
which Ills rank and wealth demanded. He
wore a standing shirt collar, a model of l’res
ident l’icrccv w blue, straiglitcoilared soldier
coat, with brass buttons, and an elegant pair
oi Spanish spytrS, while liis stalwart loins
were admirably clothed in ancient coffee
sack. Altogether tbe appearance of both
the bride and the groom was appropriate to
their high sphere in life.
*U'be most Sumptuous feast awaited the
guests at the residence of the bride’s father.
It was spread in a camp kettle and suspend
ed over the fire that burned in the centre of
that princely lodge. It consisted of young
dog meat, very tender, blue corn and old dog
meat, bearer tails and mule steak, fresh fish,
and sugar, making, altogether, one of ifie
most palatablo and nourishing compounds
that ever'graced a royal kainp kettle. The
burn spoons of occidental luxury stddnra con
vey to the educated palate viands more temp
ting and dslteious. As for drinks, corn whis
key made of rod pepper, tobacco plugs and
rain water, together with molasses sweetened
coffee made np the list.
Among the distinguished persons present,
we did net fail to notice the six Mcsdnines
Fetnnasliaro, the wives of the eminent “ In
jin” who is now at Washington, visiting
James Buchanan on tbe official business.—
Also, Mr. Whitecow, of the Otnalm princi
pality, Mr. Big Soldier, ..Esq., Wildcat and
tW Hon. Short-tailed Elk.
VERY SINGULAR.
The laverpool Times in speaking of the
collision between the steamship North Amer
ica and ship Leatider, of Bath, resulting in
the loss of the latter, with ten of those on
board, says it is a singular fact that almost
all the persons who were on the deck of the
ship at the time of the accident were drown
ed, and that the majority of those saved were
asleep in their berths.
The wheat crops in the different parts df
Tennessee, looks unusually fine and promis

GEKBBAL LAMAB IK NICABAGUA.
The reception of Gen. Trainer has already t
been . announced per telegraph, &c., at the
government to which he was accredited.*—
The official reception took place on the Btb
of February, on which occasion in announc
ing his mispion to President Don Tomas
Martinez* Geh. Lamar spoke as follows :
Mb. Pbbsidknt The document I have
the honor to present to your Excellency is
the evidence of my appointment as Envoy,
Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary
to she government ol Nicaragua, and in per
forming this port of my duty allow mo to
congratulate myself nnon the pleasure I an
ticipate in my official intercourse with the
public autliorities of the country, ae well as
in the kindly relations which I hope to pre
serve with a people whose virtues 1 duly ap
preciate and whose welfare I would gladly
promote. There ia no duty more congenial
to my feeling than that which my govern
ment has thought proper to impose upon me
of cultivating the most friendly relations with,
this republic. The hand of our divine Fath
er has united our countries by the strongest
natural tios—those of mutual advantage and
a common safety—of present interest and
future prowperity—and it is the earnest desire
ot my government to strengthen those bonds
l.y every means in its power. Our geograph
ical position nlbne should keep us friends.—
The joint intorest we have in protecting your
uoblo intcrocennic transit—-that gieat high
way of commerce for the world—the facili
tating of a free and profitable exchange of
productions of oqr distinctive climates, and a
common devotion to the sacred principles of
liberty and independence—all combine to
place our people on a truly fraternal basis.
Indeed I cannot conceive how any cause of’
quarrel can possibly arise between the two
countries. We are all the children of free,
republican America ; and we should bo wil
ling to sacrifice our private prejudices to a
common good, and not to permit the trivial
and accidental difference of language, habits
mid customs to prevent the establishment of
a great continental system of strength and
prosperity. WliHe my country, however,
cannot but cherish a deep solicitude for the
peace, progress, and independence of all the
members of tho great family of American
republics, and more especially towards those
iff immediate proximity, it is nevertheless its
determined purpose to abstain from all im
proper and pragmatical interference in their
internal affairs, as well as from aflunprovok
ed and fraudulent aggression upon the terri
tory of any.
Its immutable axiom of policy is to deal
justly to all, offensively to none, and to exact
from others nothing but an equal forbearance,
good-faith and kindly feeling. Such are the
sentiments of my government—unselfish, lib
eral and equitable in the highest degree, and
there arc some reasons for believing that I
have been chosen as the honored medium of
communicating these sentiments to yqur gov
ernment, not on account of any claitps to su
perior pretensions on my part above the great
mass of my fellow-citizens, but because of
inv well known sympathy for the Spanish-
American people, and my ardent desire to
sec them advance in all the arts of peace,
civilization and free government. Judge,
then, liow grateful to my feelings is the task
assigned mo; and also bow gratifying to the
President, as well as to the whole people of
the United States-mnst be the announcement
—which I hope I shall soon be able-to make
—that the good will and generous confidence
of my nation towards Nicaragua is fully ap
preciated by her, and that there is no want
of a proper disposition on her part to estab
lish and maintain with the United States the
most intimate and amicable relations. Permit
me, in conclusion, to remark, that I am hap
py to see that the portentous storm of war
wfjjch a short time since was lowering over
this and a neighboring nation has been dis
pelled by the sunshine of a better policy ;
that Nicaragua and Costa R'.ca have ceased
their strifes, and that every thing announces
a speedy reestablishment upon a solid basis,
of their ancient relations of fraternal concord.
And who knows what may result from this
happy event? Peiliaps it may lead to the
union of the two countries. L have some
times thought that such policy could not fail
to promote the welfare of both. Indeed, in
my opinion, it would be an example well
worthy to bo followed by all the States of
Central America, whose reunion under their
former federal constitution would not oijy
give them peace, strength and dignity, but
would place them upon a level with other
important powers, and enable them to com
pete with the most enlightened nations in the
career oX._prosperity and glory. Should Ni->
caragua, inspired by similar sentiments,think
proper to take the first at&p in tho realization
of this groat work, she would crown herself
with iinvortul honor, and command the gra
titude of every heart that beats for the wel
fare of this country anl the future progress
of its people.
President Don Tomas Martiuez replied as
follows:
Honorable Minister—The present crisis
has announced itself in Central America by
facte of an extremely noisy character, and it
has fallen to my lot to meet them face to face
at the head of the republic of Nicaragua-
Ilis Excellency, Mr. Buchanan, President of
the United States, who knew how to place
his duties as chief of a great nation above
extra legal exigencies; the honorable Minis
ter, Mr. Lamar, who had tho kindness to
bring his years, his experience, and bis con
ciliatory character to the place where inter
ests of the highest importance are to be de
cided ; the marked sympathies shown by the
people of Nicaragua for that of the United
States, and the uninterrupted efforts by
which their respective governments endeav
ored to cultivate friendly relations between
them, promise a happy term to that crisis,
tlie beginning of a< better fortune for either
country, and the universal conciliation for all
nations. These are the Sentiments of tbe
people wlioße destinies I have the honor to
direct, and wbicli I recommend to the honor
able Minister Lamar, who may be pleased to

CHANGE OF ÜBIFOBX FOl THE ABUT. t
A change of uniform for the rank and file
of tbe Army bas been decided upon by tho
vigilant and attentive Secretary of War,
which, we think, will be a decided improve
ment. so far as regards the comfort of tbe
soldier,and relieve him at least from the com
fortless eye-destroying cap now in use. Tbd
cap now worn is supplanted by a felt hat with
brim 3J inches wide and crown 6J belief
high, bound’ with ribbed silk for officers,
double stitched around the rim for men.
Tim trimmings for general officers are a!
follows: Gold cord, with acorn-shaped ends {
the brim of the hat looped up on the right
side, and fastened with fin eagle attached to
tbe side of tbe hat;/three’ black ostrich
feathers on tbe left sine; a gold embroidered
wreath in front, on Mack velvet ground, en
circling the letters U. S. b silver, old Eu*
glish characters.
For other classification* of officers, and for
the paivates, there are similar trimmings, va
rying slightly for each distinctive grade or
class.
The change also extends to the pantaloon*
and coat, but in respect to them it ia confined
to the trimmings of the former. Qibley'q
tent is also to be substituted for that now b
use.
