MISCELLANY. 



The following beauliful lines from Uie Mobile Mercantile 

 Advertiser, are" said to have been written by D. Martin, a 

 Journeyman Primer in Mobile, " who labors hard in his voca- 

 tion, and is exceedingly careful of his earnings."— iUcr. Jour. 

 DEATH OP COIiERIDGE. 

 He sleeps '.—the child of phantasy 



Has sunk lo rise no more — 

 Like hollow waves that beat against 



Eternity's black shore ! — 

 And the lightning-fires of intellect, 



That played around his brow. 

 Lie like old ocean's hidden pearl. 



So low and sheenless now ! 

 He sleeps !— yet round his lowly grave 



The proud of earth shall stand- 

 Ambition mourn a votary less, 



On Fame's undying land ! 

 And /»ocsi/— that sacred flame 



Thai will forever burn. 

 Shall bring her never-fading flowers, 



To scatter round his urn ! 

 Ah ! he was great !— the godlike gift 



Of genius, shone within — 

 Like glittering gems that deck the brows 



Of heavenly seraphim ! 

 Old Nature's wild-wood loveliness 



He pictured clear and bright. 

 And held communion with the stars 



That deck the brow of night ! 

 He sleeps! — but Fame will write his name 



On TiiTie's unlctter'd page, 

 And weave a wreath of amaranth 



To give an unborti age ! — 

 Oblivion's waters cold and black, 



May roll above his h;ad — 

 But, CoLERiiiGE— never shall Ihy name 

 Be numbered with the dead ! 



THE WIFE. 



It is not unri-eqtieiit tlint a wife mourns over 

 the alienated affections of her hu.sbaiid, -vvlien site 

 hits made no effort herself to strengthen and in- 

 crease his attachment. She thinks because he 

 anee loved her he ought always to love her, and 

 she neglects those attentions which first engaged 

 his heart. Many a wife is thus the cause of her 

 own neglect and sorrow. That woman deserves 

 not a husband's generous love, who will not greet 

 hiin with smiles as he returns from the labors ol 

 the day ; who will not try to chain him to his 

 home by the sweet enchantment of a cheerful 

 heart. There is not one in a thousand so unfeel- 

 ing as to withstand such an influence and break 

 away from such a home. 



1.0VE'S GIFTS. 



It is the native dial 'ct of love to reveal its com- 

 placence by gifts. The chilil presents its favorite 

 teacher wi'th a fresh flower. It hastens to its 

 mother with the first, best rose, from its httle gar- 

 den ; and in the kiss to its father, with which It 

 resigns itself to sleep, gives away its whole heart. 

 The wife willingly trusts to her chosen jnotector, 

 " her all o( earth— |)erchance her all of heaven." 

 Why should a mother give with such bitter repin- 

 iRig her infant to her God ? 



"Ooes she say it was unsullied and beautiful ? 

 Love deli-hts in yiehling the best gifts to the he- 

 loved. Would she prefer to have withheld it till 

 it had become less lov.dy ?— till, warped by the 

 deceit of the world, the way of darkness chosen, 

 and salvation through Christ unsought? it should 

 be an unfit oflering for a Being of purity. 



Love rejoices its object in the most eligible siui- 

 ations. "Being evil we yet know how to give 

 good gifts to our children." We are pleased to 

 ' gee them in the pursuit of knowledge, in the path 

 of virtue, in possession of the esteem of the great 

 and good. In seiuling them from home, we seek 

 to secure for them the ailvantages of refined soci- 

 ety, the stiperiutendence of friends of wisiloin anil 

 piety. If a nobleman were to adopt them, if they 

 were to have a mansion with princes, should wi; 

 not be grateful for the honor ? Why, then, with 

 such unspeakable reluctance, do we see them go 

 to be angels among angels, and to dwell gloriously 

 in the presence of" God, the Judge of all, and the 

 spirits of just men made perfect ^''—Jtfw. Sigour- 

 n«y. 



MAXIMS FOR WIVES. 



I. A GOOD wife always receives her husband 

 with smiles — leaving nolliing undone to render 

 home agreeable — and gratefully reciprocating his 

 kindness and attention. 



II. She studies to discover means to gratify his 

 inclinations, in regard to food and cookery, in the 

 management of her dress, manners, and deport- 

 ment. 



III. She never attempts to rule or appear to rule 

 her husband. Such conduct degrades husbands — 

 and wives always partake largely in the degrada- 

 tion of their husbands. 



IV. She in evej-y thing reasonable, complies 

 with his wishes — and as far as possible anticipates 



them. 



V. She avoids all altercations or arguments 

 leading to ill humor — and more especially before 

 company. 



VI. She never attempts to interfere in his bus- 

 iness, unless he ask her advice or council, and never 

 attempts to control him in the management of it. 



VII. She never confides to her gossips any of 

 the failings or imperfections of her husband — nor 

 any of those little differences that occasionally arise 

 in the mariied state. If she do, she may rest as- 

 sured that however strong the injunctions of secrecy 

 lie on the one hand, or the pledge on the other, 

 they will in a ilay or two become the common talk 

 id' the neighborhood. 



,,as most seriously injured himself and family, by 

 the rejection of the advice of his wife, fearing if 

 he followed it, he should bo regarded as ruled by 

 her. A husband can never procure a counsellor 

 more deeply interested in his welfare than his 

 wife. 



Vir. If distressed or embarrassed in his circum- 

 stances, he communicates his situation to her with 

 candor, that she may bear his difficulties in mind 

 in her expenditures. Women, sometimes, believ- 

 ing their husbands' circumstances to he better than 

 they really are, ex|)end money which cannot well 

 be afforded, and wliich if they knew the real situ- 

 ations of their husbands, they would shrink from 

 expending. 



'■ To sum up all you niw have heard. 

 Young men and old peiuse the bard; 

 A female Irustcd to your care, 

 His rule is pilhy, short and clear : 

 Be lo her faults a little blind ; 

 Be to her virtues very kind : 

 Let all her ways be unconfin'd. 

 And place your padlock on her mind." 



Aphorism. — Those who live within their means 

 draw their supplies from \Wwg .fountains ; but 

 he who exceeds his income may soon empty lh« 



cistern. 



I. 



MAXIMS FOR HUSBANDS. 



A GOOD husband always regards his wife 

 as his equal; treats her with kindness respect 

 and atteniion, and never addresses her with an 

 air of authority, as if she were as some husbands 

 appear to regard their wives, a mere housekeeper. 



II. He never interferes with her domestic con- 

 cerns, hiring servants, &c. 



I I I. lie always keeps her properly supplied with 

 miMirv fi.r furnishing his table in a style propor- 

 liuiu'ii to his means, and for the purchase ol dress 

 suitable to her station in life. 



IV. He cheerfully and promptly complies with 

 all her reasonable reipiests, when it can be done 

 without loss or great iiicouvenii'iice. 



V. He never allows himself lo lose his temper 

 towards her, in consequence of iiiilitrerent cook- 

 ery, or irregularity in the hours of meals, or any 

 other inisniaiiagement of her servants, knowing 

 the diffii-iilty of making them do their duty. 



VI. If she have prudence and good sense he con- 

 sults her on all great operations, involving the risk 

 of ruin, or serious injury in case of failure. Many 

 a man lias been rescued from ruin by the wise 

 counsels of his wife, and many a foolish husband
