A YANKEE STORY.
I have litarn folks *y tfcfet t |, e uimtnm
\vs contrary ; well they is a leetle so, but
if yo i manage ’em rile, haul in here, and
lei ’em out there, you can drive ’em along
wiiuoot whip or spur, jest which wav you
want ’em to go.
\N hen I lived down to E’torn, there
was a good many fust rate gals down
there, hut l did’nt take a liktin to any on
’em, till Squire Cummin;. nun down there
to live. The squire had a mighty putty
‘darter. 1 sed sum of the gals was hut
rale, but N nice Cummins was fust rate,
and a leeile more. There was many
dressed liner and looked grander, hut
there was smoothing jam about Nance,
that they could’nt hold a candle to. If a
teller seed Iter wunce, he could’nl look at
another gal for a week. I took a likitt to
her rite off, and we got as thick as thieves.
We had used to go to the same tneelin,
and sot in die same pew. It took me to
find the sarins ami hints for Iter, and we’d
swell ’em out in manner ’sltockin to har
dened sinners ; and then we’d inosev hum
together, while (he gals and fellers kept
a look it) on, as though they’d like to mix
in. I’d always stay to supper, and the
wav she cnoil make injmi cakes, said the
way I wood slick ’em over with molasses
and put ’em away was nothin to nobody.
She was dreadful civil tew, always getlin
somethin nice tor me. I was up to the
Imb iu love, and was going for it like a
lofcymotive. Well, things went on litis
way loi a spell, till she thought she bad
me tight enough. Then she began to
show off kinder independent like. When
I’d go to the meetin’ there was no room
in i!ih pew ; when she’d come out she’d
slreake off with another t hap, and leave
me snekin my fingers at the door. In
stead of stick.in to me as she used to do,
site got cut’.ia round with all the fellers
just ,;s if she cared nothing about me no
more, none whatsoever. 1 got consider.,
ably ri eii, and lliort I moot as well cum
to have i: out wi:h her; tlier was a bull
krr.-u of fellers there. They seemed iniiy
%nict til! I .vent in, then she got talk in a!!
Rftjbiner of nonsense, sed nothing to me,
and darned little ot thill. I tried to keep
rnv-djmdft- du'.vi„ ; but it twar ti’t no use-f^
1 Kept movin about as if I Haul a pin iu
rny Dowsers. I sweat as if i had been
ihradiin. Y!y collar hung down as if it
bad been hung over my stock to dry. I
couldV.l stand it, so cleared out as quick
as I could, lor I see';’ tuas no use to say
nothing to her; 1 went sirate to lied, ami
llioi the matter mt r a spell, thinks I that
gai is j;:; t id’ try in me ; taint no use of our
playing possum; I'i! take the kink nut of
her; if I donl fetch her out of that high
grass use me for sassage meat. I (team
tell of a boy, vntnee, that got to skew I
late on Sunday ntortiin ; master ses, you
tnrntl sleepiu creator, what kept you so
late ? Why, ses the boy, it is so ever
-1 still slippery out, i could’tgct along no
how, every step l took forward, I went
two steps backward, and I could’nt have
got here at all, if I liad’nt turned back to
go toilier way. Now that’.-. j' j st my case.
I have been pultin after that gal a coiisid
eralile lice. Now, thinks I, Ili go totliv
rr wav —she's been sliiing of me, now
I’il slite her—what’s Si< for the goose is
sasv for the gander. Well, I went no
more to Nancy’s. Next Sabbath ! slick
ed myself up, and l deiv say, when 1 go!
my fixius on, l took the shirt tail clean
olf of anv specimen of (he human nature
in our parts. About meetin time oli I
put to Elth.tin Dodge’s. Patience Dodge
was as nice a gal as you’d see tsvixt here
nod v nmler, any more than she wasn’t
jest like Nancy Cummings. Ephrarn
Massey had u*ed to go to her; lie was a
clever feller, but was dreadful jelus.
Well, I went to meetiii with Patience,
and sot right afore ; I didn’t set
niv eyes on her ii!l at'lcr meetin; she bail
a feller with her who had a blaziti red
head, tnd legs like a pair of compasses;
she had . face as long as grace afore a
th.mksgivio dinner, I knowed who she
wuj-'binkin about, and ’twaru’t the chap
‘Viili ‘the redhead neither. Well, I got
boeiu P Hence itbottl a spell. Kept niv
eve oil Nance, s-eil bow the cat wusjiim
pin, sin* didn’t cut about like she did, and
looked rather solemnly ; she’d g’in her
two eyes to kiss and make up. I kept ii
up until • like to have got into a mess ü
botit Patience. The critter tliot I was
goin after her good, and got as proud as
a lame turkey. Won day Eli*com down
to our place looking as ratliy as a mill

ses*lie, Si tli Stokes, as loud a, ami di
thunder clap. I II be darn (I———. Hal
lo! s-s I, what’s hr die l Why ses lie,
I come down to have satisfaction about
Patience Dodge; here I’ve been corliu
Iter ever since lost gr.iss year, and she
was jest as good mine fill you come a go

her for me, so yon hadn’t ought

or cooled down,) I am the unluckiest
thing in creation. I went totlier day to
a place where there was an old woman
died of the hots or some such disease, and
they were sellin ouf her things. Well,
ses he, there was a thundering big chist
of drawers full of all sorts of truck, so I
but it and thot I made a snec, but when 1
come to look at ’em there want nothin in
it worth a cent except an old silver thim

when site rite up and called me a darned

never you mind that, jest go on, yon can

WHAT IS LIFE i
The oiigin and nature of life has very
justly been regarded as the great mystery
<>( creation. 7t is a question upon which
the popular philosophy lias tried it strength
in vain. Induction and theory have well
nigh paralized their powers in fruitless at
tempts to solve ‘lie mighty problem, while
science has been looking with searching
scrutiny into the structure of all living
organisms to detect, if possible, that la
test principle which constitutes the premi
um mobile of their functions. But the
question was too profound for a sensuous
philosophy, the : pioblem too difficult for
the unaided ingenuity of man. Light
was needed from that inner and upper
world, whence all genuine truth descends.;
and that light has ’ll length been reoeiv- ]
etl. The reader will please ob.-erve the
follow iiiir points:
1. All life proceeds from the Lord. —
The Lon! alone has life in himself; lie is
>elf-existing,siibstance—the eternal, sole,
infinite, inexhaustible fountain of life, and
consequently, no created being has any
other than derived and momentarily de
pendent life, fnasmttch as life is an em
anation from the Deity, it is not, proper
ly speaking created. Creation is predi
cable ol the organs and receptacles into
which lile flows, but not of life itself.—
That which is uncreated and infinite is the
Divine itself. From this principle man
cannot be formed, for thus he would be
divine in himself, but he may be formed
of things created and finite, in which the
Divine may dwell, and to which il may
communicate its life, and this by heat and
light, or love and w isdom, from itself as
the sun of the spiritual world. This may
be compared to germinations on the earth,
which cannot be Inrmed from the essence
itself of the natural sun, but from the cre
ated things of which the ground consists
in which the sun, by its heat and light,
can inwardly dwell, and to which it can
communicate, as it were, life.
So,also, angels and men do not live
from themselves, hut are only recipients
of life from the Lord. The conception
ofa child from its lather is not a concep
tion of life, bill only of the li si rudunen
tal form for the reception ol life, to which
may be successively added, hy the opera
lion of life thus received, the substances
and materials adapted to the full devel
opment of the form thus begun.
2. Life , in its inmost form is love. —
The div ine life is in he divine love. But
the divine love is manifested through * it
medium of divine wisdom; and hence life,
also, in all its degr&s and forms, flows
down from its divince source, according
tn the laws of divine order. The will and
the iindeistanding in man are the recep
tacles Dto which the divine life flows.—
Life received into the will, is the origin
of love and affection ; in the understand
ing, it is thought, or the perception of
truth. The will is the first receptacle of
life. In it every desire and r.flectioft orig
inates. But the life of tile fviil descends
also imp the understanding. The affec
tions are formed into thoughts. And
hence, love is the life of the spirit, the
moving principle of every emotion and
perception. A man thinks of those tilings
which lie loves. His thought are on spir
itual or worldly things, according to the
natiirp of his anWlions,
j The life of the natural body is also de
j rived from the interior of the spirit. This
is evident from the fact that the will con
trols the muscular movements. The af-
sections present tlietuselvps visibly iti the
face. Thought beams from the eye, ot
flows forth through the organs of speech.
All the organs of the body are thus adap
ted to the use of the spirit. They were
first formed by the power of the living
spirit, and by virtue of that power com
tinually operating they retain their t’oiu.s,
and subserve their respective uses. The
whole body is one complex organ for the
use of the spirit. From that spirit it de
rives its life, and for that spirit exists.
The truth of this principle may be seen
by adverting to a sudden shock of disap
pointment falling upon a dominant or ab
sorbing love. The blow falls upon the
love principle, and for a moment the spirv
it refuses to furnish the body with its ac
customed life. The suspense of that mo
ment is fatal. Death, in strict truth, is
not the destruction ol lif , for life being an
emanation from the Divine, can never he
destroyed. That life is extinguished by I
death is an apparent, not a real, truth.
The real truth is, that the life of the s;:irit
ceases to decent] into tlte hotly. The do
pariure of the spirit is the vvitht’ravvl of
! e from the body—not fit's extinction.—
‘1 lie spirit lives on. his soil a form of
its own love—a permanent receptacle ot
life from the iiiexhaiisulde Fountain.
The views here presented in regard to
the origin and nature of life, though seen
to he ti tie, are not generally acceptable.!
Men do not like to regard themselves as!
mere receptacles, or organic forms of life.
The idea of living, feeling, thinking, aud
j acting from tlieuiM Ives, is more congeni
al to their uff ctioits, more in accordance
with the promptings of self-love. And
this idea is easily confirmed i>y external
appearances, which scent to indicate .that
man lias life in himself, instead of being a
mere receptacle of life. To the sensuous
nnm.l,.iyyiei) filled with a proud self-love,
these appearances have all ybeJprce and
authority of truth. The real u difimigln
be seen, but there is no disposition to
search for it, nor even to look at it when
presented. Most men readily acknowl-.
edge that life is originally derived frotrr 1
the Lord, but they do not love to think of
it as perpetually and momentarily flow
ing from that divine source.
3. Life is manifested in different de
grees. —It is important to observe, that it
is one and the same life, only more or less
pecfectly manifested, that pervades the
angelic, the human, the animal, and even
the vegetable worlds. Every beast,bird,
fish, reptile, a. a insect, has it its peculiar
sensual or corporeal love, whose habitus]
lions is the brain; and by means of this:
Itive, life, in a modfirul aud imperfect tie- |
gree, t! ms into its bodily senses. But
the beast having no spiritual organism, a
bove ifie sensual, which is immediately
connected with the corporeal form, it is
only a temporary recipient of lift. Its
existence is terminated hy death. There
is also an influx of life from the Lord, !
through the spiritual world, into evesy
seed and plant of the vegetable kingdom.
This is that living principle which con
tinually nets upon tlic piiinative forms ol
seeds. It causes’ them to vegetate and
bring forth their fruits.
It may seem like a strange announces
ment that one and the same vita) princi
ple manifests itself in so great a variety
of forms ; that the life of an insect or a
plant is continualy flowing down ftotvi
the divine love and wisdom, and, in its
inmost principle, is essentially the same
with that of an angel or a man. There
are, however, many analogous facts even
in the natural world—as, when the
same substance appears under various
forms. Carbon, for example is seen in
the form of charcoal, cotton, and the dta- i
mond. So aLo life, in proceeding from
the Lord, descends through several suc
cessive degress, till, on reaching the low
est, its tit mif‘stations are so changed that
we scarcely recognize it is the same prin
ciple. Ev en man himself i< so formed as
tn tie capable ol receiv ini’ hie in three dif
ferent degress, and so unlike are these suc
cessive manifestations that they entirely
change the rpri-ual form. The lowest of
| these degrees is the sensual, by which
tuan is closely allied to tlte inferior uni.
I mals, and in fact becomes very much like
j them, in proportion as lie yields to this
lower form of life. Tlte next is the nr
linnal, by which man il superior to lit*
animal 11 ilies, ns by means of it he cun
t(link ami will what is good and lute, and
control titc seti-iml, voluntarily restrain
ing its appetencies, which the beasts are
t*itorly incapable of doing. And above
and within (his there is a more interior re
ceptacle of life, into wltn it the divine lifi
immediately flows. By this interior form
man is made capable of being conjoined
to tin* Lon), and living eternally.
Man lives really and truly only in pro
portion as the more interior receptacles of
life are open to the inflowings of the di
vine love and wisdom. He is regenerat..
ed and made truly alive, just so far as all
the affections of his natural life are res
trained and rendered subordinate to the
love of goodness and truili. The good,
inly, can be properly said to live. It is
true, the wicked, evetf the spirits of hell,
are firms re< ipient of life front the Lord.
Tiit-y are thereby retained in existence.
But the life thus received, being pervert
ed tails to bring forth tlte living fruits of
heavenly love. Instead of these, there are
the direful forms of every evil. For all
tlte manifestations of life are accotding to
the lorms of tlte recipient subjects, just as
one plant produces food, and another'p>i*
son, each according to its own nature,
liiuttgli both are nourished from the same
earth, and sustained by the heal and light
irnmthe smite son.

to our sincere aud heartfelt emotions.
“ My wile has l>**on perceptibly sinking fv some
three years or more, iu consequence of her great an

Competence and Health.
“ Lancaster, Pa., Oct. 24, 1847.
“ Mr Dear Sir: I know you will have the kind
ness to bear with me in encroaching upon vour time,
while l acknowledge (in bchnlf of myself anil wife)
the obligations we feel ourselves under to you in hav
ing: mr.do known certain matters, contained in j our
most invaluable ‘ Married Woman’s Private Medical
Companion.’ Tt hf! been worth its weight in gold
to me. If I express myself rather warmly, you will
see that 1 can not do 30 too warmly, when 1 infonaa
you of the extent to which I lmve, through it, been
benefited. 1 will state my situation when 1 obtained
your hook through the merest curiosity I look upon
it as one of the most fortunate events cf my life. 1
had been married some ton years, and was the father
of seveniShildren. 1 was long struggling unceasingly,
to the end that l might gain a moderate competency,
feat the results of my utmost exertions at the end left
me about where I was at the beginning of each year;
and that only, with the most stinted economy, euffi
cing with barely the necessaries of life. Finally, this
constant effort was beginning to have its effect tij>on
my health : I felt less capable to ondure its continu
ance, while J felt the necessity of perseverance.
“ This constant, unceasing struggle on my part was
imperative, in consequence of the prostrated condi
tion of my wife I with occasional intermission) for six
year*, much of the time confined to her bed, and.of
course incapable of taking the charge and manage
ment of household affairs. Her condition arose from
causes of which I was ignorant. Oh! what would
1 have given had 1 tho six years to live over again !
What would my wife have given tt* have been spared
the long days and still longer nights prostrate on a
bed of sickness!all of which would have been
avoided, hud I then seen h copy of ‘The Maiuukd
Woman’s Private Medical Companion."’

DANGEROUS DELIVERIES,
OBSTRUCTIONS, IRREGULARITIES, fcC
How many are suffering from obstruction or irreg
ularities peculiar to the female system, which un
dermine their health, the effects of which they are
ignorant, and for which their delicacy forbids seeking
medical advice! How ninny suffer from protapsvM
uteri (hilling of the womb), or from Jiuor-albus (weak
ness, debility, Ac., &c )! How many are in constant
agony for many months preceding confinement! llow
many have difficult if not dangerous deliveries, and
whose lives are jeoparded during such time, will find
in its pages the means of prevention, amelioration,
and relief!

“Dn. A. M MaVBirKAU : Had I known of the im

Private Medical Companion’ some years ago. how
much misery’ 1 might have escaped ! 1 have suffered
year* from causes which you point out in your book,
withont knowing what to do. 1 obtained a copy, and
found my cane treated of. 1 treat every (enisle will

Letters are daily received of this character, unue

To those yet unmarried, bat contemplating mar
riage, or perhaps hesitating as to the propriety of
incurring the responsibilities attendant upon it, the
im|>ortance of being possessed of the revelations cos
ts! ned in those pages, so intimately involving their
future happiness, can not he appreciated.
It is, ot course, impracticable to convey more fully
the various subjects treated of, as they are of a na
ture atrjetly intended for the married, or those con
templating marriage; neither is it uecessarw idnce
it is every oae’s duty to become possessed ol knowl
