.1 Mother to htr Daughter, on Marriage. — You 

 •ire now my beloved child, about to leave those 

 arms which have hitherto cherished you, and di- 

 rected your every step, and at length conducted 

 you to a safe, happy, and honorable protection, in 

 the very bosom of love and honor. You jnust now 

 be no longer the fiiglity, incbnsiderate, hauglity, 

 passionate girl, but ever, with reverence and de- 

 liglit, have the merit of your husband in view. — 

 Reflect how vast the sun: of your obligation to the 

 man who confers upon you independence, distinc- 

 tion, and, above all, felicity. Moderate, then, my 

 beloved child, your private expon,5cs, and propor- 

 tion your general expenditure to tlie standard of 

 his fortune, or rather his wishe.-;. I fear not that, 

 with your education and principles, you can ever 

 forget the more sacred duties, so soon to be your 

 sphere of action. Remember the solemnity of 

 your vows, the dignity of your cliaracter, the sanc- 

 tity of your condition. You are amenable to so-

Description of Paris. — Paris is a beast of a city 

 to be in — to those who cannot get out of it. There 

 is not a place in it where you can set your foot in ,

 honor and happiness, and to heaven itself for those i their hotels, where you are locked up as in an old 



In t!ie British House of Lords, on the 23d ult. 

 Earl Grey stated that he had made the most dili-

rich talents intrusted to your care and your im- 

 provement ; and though, in the maze of pleasure, 

 or the whirl of passion, the duties of the heart may 

 be forgotten, remember, my darling child, there is 

 a record wliich will one day appear in terrible ev- 

 idence against us for our least omission. 



A Wife.' — When a man of sense comes to marry 

 it is a companion wliom he wants, not an artist. — 

 It is not merely a creature who can paint and 

 play, sing and dance ; it is a being wlio can com- 

 fort and counsel iiira, one who can reason and re- 

 flect, and feel and judge, and discourse and dis- 

 criminate ; one who can assist him in liis affairs, 

 lighten his sorrows, purify his joys, strengthen 



lii.S principles, and edvioatc hio ohildron. Suoh ie 



the woman who is fit for a mother, and the mis- 

 tress of a family. A woman oi the former descrip- 

 tion may occasionally figure in the drawing room, 

 and attract the admiration of the company, but she 

 is entirely unfit for a iielpmate to a man, and to 

 '■ train up a child in th6 w^ he should go."

Profigacii of the Court of Charles IT. — In the 

 memoirs of Pepy's Secretary to the admiralty in 

 the reigns of Charles II and James II, recently 

 published, it is stated, that during a conference 

 between the House of Lords and Commons, Buck- 

 ingham struck the Earl of Dorchester and pulled 

 off his periwig, that Rochester struck Killigrewin 

 the King's presence, and was pardoned on the 

 spot. Lord Buckhurst narrewly escaped sentence 

 of death for liighway robbery and murder, and 

 Lord Roclioster carried off forcibly an heiress. — 

 Lady Shrewsbury not only hired assassins to mur- 

 der one of her former admirers, but sat in hor car- 

 riage to witness the execution of this horrid deeil, 

 without being even called upon to answer for her 

 conduct. — When a constable arrested Sedlcy and 

 Buckhurst, for indecent exposure of their ]icrsons, 

 this officer was arrested, by order of the cliief jus- 

 tices and committed to prison. Sir Edmuudbury 

 Godfrey, a magistrate, having issued his warrant 

 for the arrest of Sir Alexander Frazier, a pliysi- 

 cian belonging to the court, for a debt of £30, not 

 only were the bailiffs, wlio executed the writ, 

 soundly whipped, but tlie justice himself was actu- 

 ally committed to the porter's lodge. — Salcni Obs.

CURE FOR LEPROSY. 



An old gentleman in Sidney desires us to state 

 that from Sept. 1824 to the Spring of 1825, he 

 was greviously afflicted with the leprosy; tliat lie 

 in vain consulted all tliose whom he thought the 

 most skillful physicians in Kennebec and Somersei 

 counties, some of whom pronounced his case mo^'t 

 desperate. Having a good opinion of the liealin"- 

 qualities of tar, ho tried that, by which he could

Tliore is a factory in Delaware County, which, 

 when completed, will, it is said, turn out thirhj 

 thousand yards of cotton cloth a week. Tliis
