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 ing. The crop is as forward as it has ever been known iu March* aud is growing beau tifully, 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 NUMBER 30. transmit to the government of the great na tion he represents my wishes for tha ever in* creasing prosperity of lib fellow-citizens.

Wliotevcr may be said of #Ur very or slaveholders, the South has its own self respect and its own mental and monk dignity to maintaiu before tbe world. cause New England is blatant with blasph* my, because the Constitution aud the Union, nay tho Bible itself, and aH that we hold dear in domestic life as the Cliristikn Lares and penates of onr households, are held in raoekery by the fauatics of Worcester and Syracuse, because the Southern people are denounced as robbers and murderers from Capo Cod to’the lulls’ of Berkshire, consti tutes no sufficient reason why a Southern man, least in all one professing tbe reli<rion of Christ, should go into this region of fsms and ii fidelities to contend with its orator it) the use of bad language. The respectability of the South will be lowered in the estima tion ot moderate men by the coarseness and intemperance of its self-appointed apostle.’* 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. A NEWLY DIBCOVEHED FBOPXBTY OF CHLOBO IRK Tbe Abbeville Medical reports the ease of 1 a young man wjio badly scalded both legs by slipping into a cauldron of boiling Waten i Ho was immediately laid upon a bed, an ex citing portion administered, cod liver oil ap7 plied to his logs and he was twice bled, bait the pain in the legs did not subside.
