To chime.

This scathing fire?

A name with those of lofty birth or claim.
And higher
To clitnb the mountofvisionary fame.
Fame is a worthless boon.
Wherefur found;
A strong, but dangerous lure,
Which faileth soon;
A sound
That changes oft as zepliyrs change.
How strange
That men their proudest energies consume
Around their brow
To twine this wreath of transitory bloom.

band can be retained only by ‘the high opin-
ions which he entertains of his wife’s good-
ness of heuit, of her amiable disposition, of
her sweetness, of her prudence, of her devo-
tion to him. Let nothing, tipon any occa-
sion, even lessen that opinion. On the con-
trary, it should augment every day; he
should have much more reason to admire
her for those excellent’. qualities which will
cast a lustre over virtuous woman when her
personal attractions are no more.
Has your husband stayed out longer than
you expected? ‘When he returns, receive
him as the partner of your heart. Has he
disappointed you in something you expected,
whether of ornament or of furniture, or any
convenience? Never evince discontent; re-
ceive his apology with cheerfulncss. Does
be, when you are a housekeeper, invite coin-
pany without informing you of it, or bring
home with him a friend? VVhatever may
be your repast, however scanty it may be, or
how impracticable it may be to add to it, re-
ceive them with a pleasing countenance,
adorn your table with cheerfulness, give to
your husband and your company a hearty
welcome,‘ it will tnore than compen=ate for
every other deficiency: it will evince love
for your husband, good sense in yourself, and
that politeness of manners which acts as the
most powerful charm. lt will give-to the
plainest farea zest superior to all that luxu-
ry can boast. Never be discontented on any
occasion of this nature.
In the next place. as your husb:ind’s suc-
cess in his profession will depend upon his
popularity, and as the manners of a wife has
no little influence in extending or lessening
the respect and esteem of others for her hus-

polite to the poorest as well as the richest.-—

entered his fold-each morn some six or eight
striped backs were among the missing, leav-
ing no trace of their former location behind,
save an impression on the ground,_ l-ikc the
print ofa departed hog in a mudbolc. This
was not to be borne. Reuben gloried in his
melons, and thought ofthe dollars they tvoiiltl,
have brought him; and his spirit was stirred
to vengeance. Determining to place the re-
mainder out of all danger before e.\jccuti,ng
this scheme of rcvengc,_ he plucked all that
were ripe, or nearly so, and placed them away
carefully in an upper room of his clomicil.
Unfortunately for him this movement was
observed by an idle wandering boy. (one of
the thieves.) who, suspecting his intention.
hastened to communicate it to his fellows.
They, alarmed at the prospect of losing
their plunder, and determined to outwit the
master, immediately held it secret council, in

T0 llls ll-".llilG!lTl’3R.i
My Dear Daughtt-r=..—-You have just en-
tered into that state which is replete
with liuppiuctss or misery. The issue de-
pends tipon that prudent, amiable, uniform
conduct, which wisdom and virtue so strong-
ly recommend, an the one hand, or on that
imprudt-nce which it want of rcflection or
passion may prompt on the other.
‘ You are allied to a man of honor, of tal-
cnts, an! of an open, generous disposition.
You have, therefore, in your power, all the
essential ingredients of domestic happiness:
it cannot be marred, if you reflect upon that
system of conduct which you ought invaria-
bly to orsuc=—-if you now see clearly the
path from which you will resolve nevcr to
deviate. Our conduct is often the result of
whim or caprice; often such as will give us
many a pang, unless we see beforehand what
is always most praiscworthy, and the most
essential to happiness.
The first maxim you should follow is, ne-
ver to attempt to control you husband, by op-
position, displeasure, or any other mark of
anger. A man of sense, of prudence, of
warm feelings, cannot, and will not hear an
opposition of any kind, which is attended
with an angry look or expression. The cur-
rent of his affections is suddenly stopped ; his
attachment is weakened; he begins to feel a
mortification the most pungent; be is belit-
tled even in his own eyes; and -be assured.
the wife who once excites those feelings in
the breast of a husband, will never regain
the high ground which she might and ought
to have retained. When he marries her, if
he be a good man, he expects to find her one
who is not to control him ; not to take from
him the freedom of acting as his own judg-
ment shall direct, bnt one who will placésuch
confidence in him, as to believe that his pru-
dence is his best guide. ,I_.,i.tt,le things. what
in reality are mere trifles in tliemselves, of-
ten produce bickerings, and even quarrels.
Never permit them to be a sub ect of dis-
pute; yield them with pleasure, witb a smile
of affection. Be assured that one difference
out-weighs them all a thousand or ten thou-
sand times. A difference with your husband
ought to be considered the greatest calamity ;
as one that is to be stucliotisly guarded
against; it is a"demon which must never be
permitted to enter a’ habit.-it.-ion wber.e all
should be peace; u.riimpai_red confidence. and
heartfelt affection. ‘ Besides, what can 8. W0-

principle. Besides, in those hours of calam-
ity, to which families must be exposed, where
reflections upon that all-rtiling Providence
wlllch governs the universe, whether inani-
materl or animated.
Mutual politeness between the most inti-
mate friends is €S_S€_tlllfll to that harmony
which should never be once broken or inter-
rupted. How important is it then between
man and wife! The. more wzirm attachment
the less will either party bear to be sliglstcd.

of preventing discontent, and even quarrels;
it is the oil of intercourse, it removes asperi

ness does not depend upon wealth ; no, it is
not to be found in wealth ; but in minds pro-

however, that I would not advise your hus-
band to augment his property by all honest
and commendable means; I would wish to
see him actively engaged in such pursuit.b_e-
cause engagement, a sedulous enjoynient in
obtaining some laudable end, is essential to
happiness. In the attainment of a fortune,
by honorable means, a man derives satisfac-
tion in self-applause, as well as from the in-
creasing estimation in which he is held by
those around him.
In the management of your domestic con-
cerns, let prudence and wise economy pre-
vail. Let neatness, order, and judgment be
seen in all your different departments. _ynite
liberality with a just frugality, always re-
serve sometbing for the hand of charity, and
never let your door he closed to the voice of
suffering humanity. Your servants, in par-
ticular, will bave the strongest claim upon
your charity; let them be wellclothed, nurs-
ed in sickness, and _never let them be unjust,-

in question, his melons were remarkably fine.
ind were in great demand. Reuben guarded
them from infancy to tbefull fruition of mel-
onbood with a pat‘-.ent’s care. He nursed
against his own kitchen door. Rcuben’s face

To those who have read our sory, it is evi-

proceeded from the pistols, involuntarily dis-

tall, stout Farmer Field, with his huge strip-
ed waistcoat, ready to burst with hurry’ and
indignation, and his great stick in his hand.

‘Yes, friend Field, it is I ; it is the captain,
that was talking to your adorable Anne; and
here 1 am ready to marry her, with your con-
sent, tor never shall woman be my wife but
your charming Anne i’ How that great el-
pbant of a farmer stands lifting up his face,
ow that
‘flit round .C,0rporP.tion, with good capons
lined,’ (good Sbalispeare, pardon our verbal
variation in this _ notation, in courtesy to the
delicacy of n‘.-odern phrases)-—how those her- .
culean limbs do shake with laughter! But,
now, as the tears stream down his face,‘he
cotild have thought it, captain—eh'.l Ha!
ha! Vfell, we’ re all young and foolish once
in our lives ; but come! no more on’t--it

dogs here, and we’ll have regular merry
making, and anpthei‘ good laugh at your
youthful follies!’
But all won’t do. The captain vows be-.’ll
shoot all the old guardians ofa row, and tell
his mother to shoot him, if they make any
opposition; and the very same night he sticks
21 note on the top of n fishing rod, and taps
with it Anne’s little window, with the dia-
mond panes, in the old gable; and Anne,
f nigbtingales, apd jumping from the easy chair, looks out, seiz-
es the paper, clasps her hands, casts down a
most affectionate but inconsolable look, and
sighs an eternal adieu l-—tben'flying to read
the note, finds the captain vowing that ‘ she
may cheer up, all shall go right, and that he
will manfully drown bimselfin the mill dam.’

__ . BEAUTY.
in looking at our nature, we» discover,
among its admirable endowments, the sensa_
of percep,tion,_of Beauty. We seethegerm
no power which admits ofgreater cultivation,
and why should it not be cherished in all 3
It deserves remark, that the provision for its
principle is infinite in the universe. There.
is but a very minute portion of the creation,
which we can turn into, food and clothes, or.
gratification for the body; but the wboleera-.
anon may be used to minister to the sense of‘
beauty. Beauty is an ail-pervading presence.’
It unfolds in the numberless flowers of the
Spring It waves in thebremches of the trees
and the green blades of grass. It haunts
the depths of the earth and sea, and gleains
out in the hues of the shell and the precious
stone. And not only these minute objects,
but the ocean, the mountains, the clouds, the
heaven, the stars, the rising and setting sun,
all oveiflew with beauty. The universe is
its temple; and those men, who are alive in,
it, cannot lift their eyes without feelingtbem-
selves encompassed with it on every side —_
Now this beauty is precious, the enjoynients
it gives are so refined and pure, so congenial
\\ ith our tenderest and noble feeling, and so,
akin to. worship that it is painfulto think of
the mUltltl_1,(Ie of men living in the midst of
it, as if, instead_ oftbis fair earth and »g1_o,rious
sky, they are tenants of a dungeon. An, in-Q
finite joy is lost to the world by the want of-
cultuie, or spiritual endowment. ' Suppose
that I were to visit a cottage, and see its walls
lined with the choicest pictures of Raphael,
and every spare nook filled with the most ex-
quisite Wqrltmansbip. and that I were to learn-
tbat neither man, woman, or child, ever cast
an eye at these miracles of art, how should
I feel their privzition; l]0\\' should I wantto,
open their eyes, and help them to compro

which in vain courted their notice. But eve-_

The best books have most beauty. The
