From the Tenn. Agricztllurisl.
TO FARMERS Diuouruzfl
This morning, I take advantage of a leis-
ure hour to rnake a few riiore remarks to
the young ladies who take an interest in the!
Agriculturist. In the last we were tallriligl
ofthe itrrp".rt;riice of gaining a practiczill
lrnowlt-dg-~ of rloriwstic tiutics.ofevt;-i'y tliiiig;
that can t1'l‘dl\'r' us useful, that we may llg ht ;

regrctthat they had spent so much tiriie in
what was useless. to the utter neglect of
what was useful to them in their C:lp:lClll("Sl
as tlllSll‘I'SS of households. Before rir:ii'r'iagt-
their time was ‘taken tip in a round of.
allll.‘St‘l‘.’lL'fll. and they had no opportunity to]
learn any thing of the duties which after?‘
ward devolve on them; they had no ill!!!) to
be useful; no time for domestic etltic.-iliou
\Vitlr such habits. the (ltl'.l"S_Of dotnt-slic lifel
are often i..tit'tlcr'isotrie, and home, .lllSlt't:(l of.
being the seat of comfort, is oftenltlie pl.-reel
of misery. A short time since, I ht=:ird til
lady say of her tlaittglrtr-r, who was gay anti‘:
f;lSlll()tl:‘.l)le (in. other words idle, am] of littl-~l
rrsc.) ‘she is yoring, let her enjoy lit-rsr-ll,

place ofthe deepest and purest flfit"il0l)S.
the ‘sphere of wotn'.in’s enjoyrueiits as well
as ll(,‘l' duties; but when a girl istaughtthrit
it is the giving up of liappiness and freedom,
she is -not well qualified to adorn it. to rondr-r
it the resting place of her husband’s heart.
If :1 girl receives no home education. be-
cause it is feared it will interrupt her happi-
ness, and be bu rrlr-nsoine to her; when slit.-
enters it home of hr I‘ own, s'ie is often at loss
about the simplest matters, and as to good
and pru-Jcut tiiarmgr-ruent, it is a study she
is obliged to corrrmence instead of being able
to practice it.
She has spent her life without cure or
trouble, _.-ind when care comes, and come
they must, she is ofien rendered petulent.
and unfit for a correct discharge of duty. I
have no doubt that want of early discipline
in the domestic school, is one cause of so
many of our s-ix being called sotir and spite-
ful. They caiiriot govern their families with
ease and pleasure, because they have not
been taught to govern themselves, and at
consciousness ofacting incorrectly at home
makes thetii uncomfortable abroad. They
abuse not ‘others from a consciousness of
their own perfection. but from a sense of
their own ill conduct. Observe those of
your acquaintances who are the most amia-
ble, and have the best directed households.
and you find they are the persons who have
the least slander for their neighbors.
I havekiioivn many girls. and some of
them Fartrir-rrs’ daughters too, who were
ashamed to say they knew how to do any
thing: as if it was honorable to be useless.
I have heard it boasted. ‘I putout the rrtalring
of all my dresses;’ I have never knit a
stocking in my life; Ican’t make pantaloons
for my brother or father.’ This may lw
considered vastly genteel by the proud and
idle, but you do not often find a gentleman
of good sense and proper feeling. preferring
for a comp-.inion through life, a woman who
boasts of her ignorance and uselessness. I
want to tell you of a family I once met with
in a neighboring State.
The pressure of hard times deprived them
of mostof their living. The mother, instead
of doing every thing herself, put her dough
tors to business, not only to assist her, but to
teach them they were in a world where
yvork was the order of the day. and that
those who would not work, would not _li.rvr-
much to rat. The girls rose early, p'Pp'-ll‘(-‘Ii
breakfast. arran,;rr-d the table neatly, appear-
ed at in good order, and I thobgfit I had
never partakeii of meals, where more good
feeling and enjoyment appeared to prevail.
This was not all; they took in sewing, en.
gaged in every useful employment, and from
a consciousness of doing their duty, they
were cheerful and happy. Every one I
heard speak of th_eni. mentioned this exam-
ple as worthy of all praise, and the gentle-
men showed by choosing them for compan-
ions through life. how much they could be
influenced by a prudent and correct cou,rs«-
of cotiduct.

Now I do not think it rieétfsstti-I":

one shoultl learn sooietlriugo of the duties

be able to p"rfo:‘m them gracefully. Such
l<uowlcr'lge need not prevent the utmost
cxteril of inrr-llr-cttralcriltiire. Some of you

Some years since I knew :1 number of girls
in l{r‘n%ucl<y. who drrsscd themselves by
rrurking jeans, drrrncstic, nice stockings, with
othrr such articlrs. and £‘..\i('l]:mgt?(l them for

and scarlet drt-sses. why, there was no tell-
ing‘ how fine they did feel-—ancl how the
young country beaux would wonder and ad-
malcs they would make on their little farms.
Tl'it=st- girls had reason to be proud of their
high colored liabilirnr-tits, when they consid-
r-red them the work of their own liaud.-ntheir

the earnings of their‘ hard working fathers

THE MURDER Olt‘ CORLIES.
The iu'erest excited in the ]u‘.)lic mind by
the rcctint and audacious mtirdr.-r of MI’. Cor-
lics rather deepens tlrrin subsides. From
the report of the tr-stimony taken yesterday.
towarrls a solution ofthe mystery in which
it is enveloped. though several cii'cunistan-
ces of corisirilcrable irriportance, as to the fact
that Mrs. Colton called at the boarding-house
of Corlies at about half past six on the even-
log of his (it-nth and eutpiirt-d for him, were
brought to light. There appears to be a
very general sttspiciott. in the public mind
that the mu rdcr was coriiinitted by Mrs. Col-
ton; that this, however. will ever ripen into
proof is at least eittremt ly doubtful. Apart
from the mystery in which the transaction
itself is enveloped, which alone might well
b:rffl-.- the keenestsetirsh of ly .-«eyed Justice
the social position of Colton, the rcsorirces
at his command, and the number and char-
acter ol his frietzrls he has made in the prac-
tice of his profr-ssion, (of which the Herald
says he was a conspicuous and most honora-
ble. member.) might in a commuiiity where
such influences have far less wright thaii

the arm of public Law; and his power.

Henry Clay rtnrl the L/.t.rlics.—The Con-
cordia (L't ) fntelligericerjtells the following
anecdote of Nil‘. Clay at the late Agricultur-
al F.»rir.:rt Baton Rouge;
“.\lakinr_r otir way near him_ we were
stopped for H time by the dense iriass
siirroun-:liri;,r him, and were thus so
f()t‘ttin:tte as to witness a little incident which
may prove interesting to our readers.
“A lady standing near us was introduced
to Mr. Clay; after the usual salulations,slre
observed. ‘We-ll, Mr. Clay I am a very warm
friend of yours, so much indeed, sir, that I
would willingly agree to have the fever and
ngrre six months to seat'you in the Presiden-
tial clizrir.’ VVe thought for a moment that
this overwhelming compliment would take
Mr. C. aback, but bowing for an instant and
returning his thanks, he replied, ‘My dear
madam, you bring to mind an anecdote told
me by H friend from Washington. who in-
furrrrcrl me that during Lord Morpeiit's visit
removed to this city, and abandoning his
honest crilling, established a,g'-amblirig house
at No. 26 Vesey-street, in a large four story
house, which be furnished in the richest
style. He has here been in the habitofgiv-
ing splended suppers and other‘ entertain-
ments freely and frequeritly, to all whose
fortunes and habits made them desirable ob-
jects of his acquaintance. Being himself
intelligent and pleasing in his manners, his
house thus became the common resort of
many men of the highest fashionable circles
of the city—inc.l-iding eminent professional
grentleman aswell as those engaged in iner-
cnntile and other pursuits. In this class
tlierr-fore, he has many earnest and influen-
'l.'1l friends, not entirely disinterested, per-
haps. but likelyion that account to feel none
the less anxiety as to the result of this affair
and the developments to which its progress
may give. rise. Being extremely expert at
play, and devoting hirnselfto it with assidu-
ity and remorseless purpose, be soon greatly
increased his fortune ; and became one ofthe
wealthiest as well as most riotorious and fash-
ionable gauiblers of our city. ‘
Corlies, who was a man of much the same
starup with hiriiself——engaged in the same
business,tliough with less marked success,
became acquainted with Mrs. Colton during
her husband’s temporary absence in Boston
last summer or in the early part of winter.
Their intercourse soon became criminal. and
was uninterrupted for sometime. Her attach-
ment to him was very ardtnt and engrossing
and she gave him at different times presents,
uiaioly ofjewelry. &°.('-. to the amountof near-
ly $2.000. Their intimacy was soon dis.-
covered by a friend of Colton, who after a
time waited upon Mrs. Colton. informed her
that he was entirely aware of it and threat-
ened to inlorrn her.husbaud of it unless it
was at once broken off. She treated the
matter very lightly, and nianifr-stcd no incli-
nation to follow his advice. Colton's friend
then went to Corlies. who, through his in-
fluence. was persuaded to return the jewelry
ac. he had received from Mrs. Colton. Their
intercourse. however, was still continued ;
and on Coltou’s return to the city he was in-
formed ofthe whole aflair by the friend who
had already interfered in his behalf. Col-
ton immcdi-a*ely went to see Corlics and told
him that he was acquainted with the whole
transaction. I-le protiiised however, for the
sake of his two children, to drop all memory
ofthe past if Corlies would pledge his iron.
or that the intercourse between himself and
Mrs. Colton should cease and never be re-
newed 2 ‘If you do not,’ said he, '3/ozdllfind
me adcsperale man.’ Corlics immediately
gave him a solemnpromise that it should be
so. Colton, however, soon became aware
thatthe intimacy of Corlies with his wife
had been renewed ; and Corlies was
known "to have boastedof it in the coarsest
and most insulting terms at a public hotel
not long after the promise be had made to
Colton. This. ofcourse. rearroused all Col-
ton‘s hatred and -revenge; and he then made
the attempt on the life of Corlies, for which
he was held to bail. l
Colton after this refused to live with his
wife, whom he left at his former residence
in the family ofa Mr. VVallace, taking lodg-
there, he, Lord M., took occasion to call on

nl and fatal intercourse.-—-More will perhaps
