she replied : “Here, sir, I givge myself away
——-now take me_ asl am I” So you see, you
are bound to cherish her under any cir-
cumstanccs, let her be good or bad.—_a di-
rectdescendant of the devil,or a legitimate
offspring of heaven. _
After you have got a wife, see that you
continueto love her sincerely : as sincerely,
if not as warmly,as whsn you first breath-
ed into her ear the ten er sentiments of
your heart. Cling to her with all the af-
fectionate tenacity of a hop-vine; and,
when the tempest winds of trouble blow,
cling tighter still, like a coon to a limb in
a hifrricane. , You must love her, and love
each other, if you would Iaeep fresh and
bright the fairest blossoms in the bouquet
of connubial bliss, and see little jiimp-u.p-
johnnies ever and anon, s ringing in your
flower beds ofdomesticjolys. But I know
how it is with you, young husbands: your
love is too apt to boil over in the begin-
ning, and put out the fire—then the liquor
grows cold by degrees; and sometimes it
gets so low in t.empg]ratu(iie,I tpatlif a thelré
inometer were intro uce , tiinc it won
not stand a great way from freezing heat.
You walk into the matrimonial Eden, and
imagine that double breasted joys and
indie rubber pleasures are forever to
attend you :”but, dirpctly you fall afoul of
the fruit——fi yourse ves almost to a surfeit
——and then say in your inwards—“Tliis
place isn’t near so nice asl thought it was
--I don’t know but what I would as soon
be out as in, and perhaps a little sooner!”
Oh, you epsily duped victims of disap-
pointment. you must not raise our an-
ticipations of conjugal felicity tosquite so
high a pitch. Bring them to alittle lower
standard, and you will be much surpris-
ed at the true pleasures and comforts
attending thereby.
Be faithful to the wife ; pay her all the
attention you possibly Cilll. Don’t fiddle
about among other wives; because if you
do, you will stand a chance, like my friend
Gen Scott, of being exposed to two fires
——one in front and the other in the rear.
Be at home evenings, and at all times when
she has a proper right to expect you; be
kind and indulgent to her, as you value
hers and your happiness; for, if you fool-
ishly oppose a woman in her ways, you
face an enterprising and energetic tornado.
You mustn't take advantage of any slight
failing of her nature; _ but if you find a
flaw, instead of making the crack wider by
rickin and urichinrr on must cover it
iill oveigwithpthe soff,ysoothing and all
healing plaster of patience—and you will
find that it is her disposition to mend rather
ghan to make brerz."/zes. Oh, do not, I
eseech you, my dear friends, ever misuse
your better halves! They were never
fashioned nor built with sufficiently strong
timber to stand abuse ' but rather, to be
cherished and protectbd, like hot house
plants, as they are-—screened from the
frosts and sheltered from the beating storm
ofthe world. Never refuse them anything
within the limits of your circumstances—
give them a kiss when you feel a disposi-
tion to kick——do all in your power to
please theui—and, no matter what the cost,
care and‘trouble may amount to, the will
repay you with compound Lindnesg, and
gladly look after the“little responsibilities”
attendant upon the matramonial state. So
mate it be!

Sale of U. S. I’ropcrt_i/.—ln this mom’
ing‘s Courier and Pilot, Mr. Geo. Morton,’
U. S. Agent,advertises for sale, at auction,
1 yawl boat, 3 scows, 2 steamboats, a
quantity of timber, spikes, blasting pow-
der, &.c. &c. purchased for and used in the
work on our harbor and piers. With great
propriety the sale is to take place on the
South pier, the exposed, dilapidated con-
dition of which is now the subject of so
much remark and anxiety. A little more
than two hours expense of the Mexican
war would suffice to complete our harbor,
according to its present plan, or at least
render it secure; but Mr. Polk sneers at it
as “the mouth of a c.reek,” and says ‘ap-
propriations are unconstitutional, and the
money is, beside, wanted for the war.
Announcements of similar sales are made
at the various harbors above us. All the
U. S. property is to be sold off; and for
the remainder of Mr. I’olk’s Adininistra-
tion, it is cei'tain—zmless I/ie .N'ort/"i as one
man 1'nsi..vts upon its rig/its—tlie lives and
property of our citizens, and all the vast
commerce of the lakes will be exposed to
the full fury of the storms.
T/Vim was Dece£vcd?———Tlie last Kccs-
ville Republican remarks that “during the
canvass-previous to the Presidential elec-
tion in 18-M, a staunch Whig of Keesville
went to the Ausable Forks for the purpose
of making an appeal to the bloomers and
others engaged in the Iron business, in
behalf of the VVhig candidates and the
Protective Tariff of 1849.. A goodly num-
ber were collected to hearhim ofall parties,
and he franlily expressed hisfears that the
Tariff would not be safe in the hands of
Polk——-that one of the first acts of his
administration would be to repeal the
Tariff of 184-2. A prominent Locofoco
Ii'0n master, standing under a hickory
pole he had erected in front of his factory,
would repeat at the end of each seiitence,
‘°1’t.s- a lie!” His workmen, who were
standing about him, took up the word, and
during the rest of the canvass, to anything
that was said to Poll."s opposition to the
Protective system, the invariable answer
was returned “It is a ff"/rig lie I”
In short Blackbrook and‘ Ausable gave
their usual Locofoco majorities, all the
bloomers, colliers and laborers about the
iron factories voting for Polk.
Now for the fulfillment. Polk was
elected. The Tariffof 184-‘). was repealed.
Iron fell from $80 to $40 per ton. Wages
fell about one thi d. And now on the
some hickory pole at the Forks, suspended
by the neck, hangs the effigy of James K.
Polk—and no VVhig dirtied his fingers by
assisting to raise it there either—and that
same iron master tells his hands they have
been deceived, betrayed and ruined—that
Polk is a free trade man and a traz'tor.——-
Will any man tell who deceived them"!

Ancient I?.zu.'ns in ’l'en.rs.—We mention-
ed several months ago, that some ari-
cierit buildings had been discovered on the
Leonora, and we remarked that they prob-
ably were erected by the Spaniards, and
were intended for inis.~;ions. VVe have,
however, since seen one of the surveyors
who discovered them, and he has informed
us that they bear no resemblance to any
of the Spanish missionary buildings, and
European structures in America. The
stones composing them are worn by rains,
and bear evidence that they have stood
for centuries in their present positions.-
Tlie buildings are situated on high bleak
hills overloo ing the valley of the Leonora.
Two of them afe near the sources of this
stream, and the other about fifteen miles
below. lliey resemble large hay stacks
when seen at a distance, and are nearly
circular in form. They are composed of
loose stones unhewn, piled one upon anoth-
er. 50 OS to form rude walls, which are
gradually narrow at the top, f0l‘ll'liu0‘ a
dome. °
The stones are not cemented, and the
walls are so filled with crevices that 1}".
rains and wind can penetrate the buildings
in every direction. lt is probable thin
these crevices were once filled with clay
or some other material, that has been
washed away by rains. The largest of
these buildiuge is only 16 or ‘.20 ‘feet in
diameter, and about ‘20 feet high. Asthey
are situated on the liighes-3 and most
commanding eminencesin that section, it
is probable they were intended for watch
towers; but when, or by w_liom they were
built, probably will never be ascertained.

‘Statistics r; f Comic cticut.—Mr. 1'5 ilcs.
Few ofthe voters of this State can have
forgotten the uproar which the. loco foco
papers made because the whigs of the
Lecrislature of 1845 had ordered the col-
leciion in each town of Statistics of the.
condition and products of certain branches
of industry. The whigs defended the
measure as one of great consequence to
the State, and referred to the effects of a
similar course in l\~'Iassacliuse‘ts. The pub-
lished statistics of tl|exl'|d"5“'Y Of ill?”
State awakened much inquiry and created
great astonishment. It was then learned
that the value of the products of ‘Massachu-
setts amounted to more than the cotton
crop of the whole South. A similar effect
has beenproduced by the publication Of
the statistics oi' Connecticut. The busi-
ness of our State is found to be of more
importance than was ever drcariietl -0f'n01‘!ll
and south. But \\ hat we would pflrli U-
larly speak of at this time, is the effect of
this little volume upon our Senator, Mr.
Niles. \Vhile making his cocluslVe and
really eloquent argument against the free
trade tariff, he he held up to the Senators
the little volume of Conriecticnt statistics,
and exclaimed,-
“Mr. President :—I have now about con-
“cliided what I have to say on this subject.
‘‘I have endeavored to discharge my duty,
“however painful it has been to my con-
“stituents, my party and the country. Sir,
“I stand here in defence of the rights 0
“labor—of the free labor of the Nortli.—
“This, sir, isa great and sacred interest-
“the most important interst iri.this country.
“Here is my comrni -sion and my instruc-
“tions, (taking ap a volume containing the
“statistics of Connecticut.) I have some-
“times disregarded the instructions of the
“Legislature, lut I/iese 2'nstructi'ons (07728

“selves. Here, sir, is a record of the in-
“dustry of my people, amounting to fifty
“millions, thirty-five of which are manu-
“factnring and mechanical industry. This
“is the evidence of the interest my con-
“stitucnts have in this measure.- It isa
“great iutercst—un interest that concerns
“every man, woman and child in the State.
“To him who has no other capital than his
“hands, it is his on'y interest. These in-
“teresls, sir, I fear. are to be struck down
“or impaired by this bill. How dare we
“invade the rights of the laboring man’!
“How dare you abstract from the pittance
“of him, who earns his bread with the
“sweat of his brow ‘l I beseech you, I ad-
“inonish you not to do it.”
Such was the use which Mr. Niles made
of the Statistics, collected by order of the
wliig‘ Legislature of 18-1-5—an act for which
that body received unmeasured abuse from
the free trade papers of Connecticut.

with whom he could compli-te his studies.
There he was told that the most learned
man in that d partinerit was a Jew, who
had been for several years in Aniei-ica.——

Connecticut yesterday where the fight was
continued an hourand three quarters, when
it was b oken up by the judges on account
of an alledged “foul blow" on the part of
one of the gladiators. The whole party
returned to town and decided to have it

this morning on the Harlem cars, without
molestation. Now these people are known
to the authorities and there is no difficul-
ty in proving that they left the State with
the deliberate purpose of comiriiiiii_g this
outrage upon hun'i.ii‘iity and the laws.
