I never leave my home a day, How e'er with others it may be Bat what 1 get, when 1 come back, A welcome smile and hearty smack, That makes me love still more and more, The wife that meets nic at the door. Her dress is always neat and clean A pretty wife, and yet not vain And when she sings my favorite song, How sure am 1 the man is wrong Who w eds not be he rich or poor A wife to meet him at the door. The little chickens run to meet, And pick the crumbs up at her feet; Old towser licks her proffered hand, And frolics round her in the sand; There's nothing like, I've said before, A wile that meets one at the door. In social hall her smiling lace In every heart wins quick a place; The gayest lad that walks the green Will tip his hat when she is seen, And hopes to meet, when teens are o'er, Just such a wife at his own door.

A correspondent of the Fayetteville Observer says : Nathan Flowers, of Johnston County, N. C., is eighty-five years old, and has never been sick a dav in his life never lost a meal from indisposi tion, never took a particle of medicine ol any kind. He is a man of extraordinary "strong common i sense,' and tenacious memory a man or unusual cheerfulness. He has always been engaged in hard uunual labor, being in limited circumstances, works daily on his small farm which yields him a decent support iar n.mseu .ou - Truly might the old gont lemon exclaim in the language of Shakespeare's Shepherd, "I am a true laborer. 1 earn that 1 eat, get mat I wear; owe no man hate, envy no man s bappinesss ; and glad of other men's good. Remarkable. We learn from a gentleman, well acquainted with the facts, that some time in March last, an old gentleman, residing for many vears in Davie, was sitting in his house, a tew feet from an open window, when a dove flev ! and alighted on his shoulder. He kept his dove flew in seat but called to his daughter to come quicklv but called to us daughter to come ou.ck v She came in; and pointing at the bird, he told her to take t oft, and put it in a cage, and take eul l ,. . it ;,-o,l Sho ...Mitlv- lifted the ' care of it as long as it lived, fcne gciitl nrtea tne bird off, and caged it as directed, her tat her re marking to her at the same time, my race is nearly over, 1 shall die in too weeks, lie was then in or dinary good health; hut, strange to say, he died that day two weeks. The bird is yet in its cage, and in possession of the family, who regard it with feelingsof peculiarsadness. Salisbury Watchman Eight Children at of August, Mrs Timothy a Birth. On the 2d Bradley, of Johnson Ti-uinbull County. Ohio, gave birth to eight children three boys and five girls. They are ail living, and are healthy, but quite small. AJr O. s family is increasing fast, lie was married six vears ao to Eunice Mowerv, who weighed 273 pounds on the day of their maniage. She has given birth to two pair of twins, and now eight more, making twelve children in six years. It seems strange, but nevertheless is true Mrs D. was a twin ot three, her mother and father both being twins, and her grand-mother of five pair of twins. Mrs B. has named her boys after noted and distinguished men one after the Hon. Joshua 11. Giddings, who has given her a splendid gold medal; one after the Rev. Hon. Elijah Champlin, who gave bora deed of fifty acres of land, and the other after James Johnson, Esq., who gave her a cow. Mr Bradley says it is profitable to have twins, as the neighbors have clothed the others ever since: they were born. Mr B. is a poor, industrious laborer, but says he will not part with any of his children while he is able to work. New York Tribune. 3r The happiest being in the world is supposed i to be 'a nigger at a dance.' In our opinion this i rule is too limited. A "nigger" is not only happy ! at a dance, but in every position. A darkey may ! be poor, but he is never low spirited. Whatever he earns he invests in fun and deviltry. (Jive him a dollar, and in less than an hour he will lay seven shillings of it out in yellow neck-ties or a cracked violin. There is something in an African that sheds trouble as a duck will water.

Some writer has been furnishing the Greensboro Patriot with a series of articles on the Law of North Carolina, one of which is as follows : nnssiin Axn Wife. Marriasrc is a civil . , j ;s treated in law other con- . . y valid at ti,e t;mc 0f maki u.;i;1)a t0 contract ; fondly to contact; ,,,1 jj aetttally did contract in the proper forms POieU!nitiCs retiuired by law. It is said that a certain individual in this btate, , . d . and at one time . prop0u.&r ' t - i' . 1 t,rt ..iir.ii rvr hnmnn cvpnts; Pnn ... the klc:l that oit uot good for man to be fascinated with the acquire- ' ' . cbarmg of a c-tai,, lady of his ac- nnarafcinee. he called at her house. Her maid met him at the door, and was asked if her mistress was at home. Being answered in the affirmative, he said that he desired to see her mistress im mediately upon important business; in due time the lady entered the parlor, and before the pre liminary remarks coneerninc: the weather were judex Tirof.eeded, in a style and p jja himself, after this fashion : -t "Madam ! Marriage is a civil contract, manner and in order to a perfect marriage, the parties concerned must he trilling to contract must be able to con tract, and must actually contract. I, on my part, am willing, able, and ready to contract a marriage with you, and desire to know if you arc even so j Kentucky there is a tic vote between .lames rv likewise. Good morning, madam, I will call in Chrisnvsn, democrat, and Witt, C. Anderson, op the morning and hear your answer " He returned j position. The Revised Statutes of the State pro at the day, received an answer in the affirmative vides that in such cases the matter shall be settled the lacouic brevity of the Law assorted its ' supremacy over the usual arts of wooing, moon- ' I . t . . ! ..x ' J . ," ..J shine sentrmeniaiism, et iu wiw genu in a short time, a civil contract was entered into and ratified between Judex and Madam. They must be willing to contract, for "consen sus, non concubitus, faciat Hunting," consent, not concubinage, makes marriage. They must be j able to contract. All persons are able to contract themselves in marriage, unless they labor under some particular disabilities and incapacities, which arc as follows : 1st. A prior marriage, or having another hus band or wife living; in which case, besides the penalties consequent upon it as a felony, the sacred marriage is to all intents and purposes, void polygamy being condemed both by the law of the now titnMnt. nnd the nolicv of all mudent av , - 1 A States. ; 2nd. Want of age. This is sufficient to avoid i all other contracts, on account of imbecility of the judgment in the parties contracting; more ! especially, therefore, it ought to avoid this, the most important contract of any. Our statute enacts that females under the asre of fourteen years and males under the tne age o f sixteen, shall be inca- liable of contracting niarri ;e. Where a license is applied for to marry feauik whose parents or guardian reside without the State, a certificate iu writing, from the parent or guardain, stating that she has arrived to the full are of fifteen, and if under that age that she has '.cave to marry, must be produced to the clerk and filed in his office. If any Clerk shall issue a license, or any Min ister or Justice of the Peace shall marry any female contrary to the true intent and meaning of the above, he shall forfeit and pay one thousand dol lars. When a man marries a woman, he becomes the owner of all her personal property, upon which subject we will be heard in the proper place. But when any person shall marry an infant female under the age of fifteen years, except her father he living and assent to the marriage in writing, the person so offending shall acquire no interest in any of the property or estate of such female, then owned and nossesscd by her, or iu which she may then have any interest: hut the same shall be vested in and held by such trustee or tru tees as the court of Equity may appoint, who shall have full power to take all such estate into their possession, and to sue for, and recover the same in" their own names as trustees; and they shall hold such estate and property to the sole and separate use of the female during marriage, free from all control and dominion of her husband. A third incapacity arises from want of consent of parents or gttardains, nnd under this head should properly be classed the above strictures by our Statutes. But if the partieshcinselvcs be of the age of consent, the marriage is valid. 4th. A fourth incapacity is want of reason without a proper share ot which as no other, so ' neither can the matrimonial contract be valid, j Therefore all marriages contracted by or with in- j fonts, idiots, and lunatics arc not valid, and the chil- j dreii of such marriage were at common law, has- j t ards and incapable of inheriting from their gawai larcnts; but whether or not in this State qucre ? parent 5th The parties must actually contract tncm- selves in due rorm ol law to make it a gooa uur- . riagc. n.-,Liiiifil ministers of the Cosrcl. f every de nomination, and Justices of the Peace may solem- nise the rites of matrimony, according to the rites and ceremonies of their respective churches. fitli A 11 maniacs between a white person and a free negro or free person of color to the third generation, shall be void. The first four incapacities arc such as exist by virtue of ihe Common Law, the others have been created by our Legislature. In England, slavery did not exist, and hence the Common Law, which is the Law of England, is mute upon the marriage among slaves. And there has been no legislation upon it in this State; but from the very nature of slavery; the relation between master and servant from the reason of the thing, and by a recent decis ion of our Supreme Court, we are justified in mentioning slavery as an eighth incapacity to mar ria"C. A slave cannot be able to contract, for his power is altogether restricted by his master, and he is at all times, under all circumstances, subser vient to the will of another. He cannot actually contract, for not being able, any agreement which be ml'ht make with another, would be destitute ..C,n r.f lli;i r-bif aonnntiahl at a contract. t.. o,r. ,.oc. of Howard v-a Howard, it said that , ... u-: i. .b- nnn.itir or "objected to ti e liabilities incident thereto.

This, however, is not n concession to him of civil rights, but is a vindication of public justice, and for the prevention of public w rongs. Marriage is based upon contract consequently the rclntior. ot 'man and wife" cannot exist among slaves; it is ..i..,i..,i Loth on mromit of their incapacity to L AViUVIVS v.- l tm ' a9 ..,, between the cohabitation wife," and an indiscriminate sexual intercourse; it is recognized among slaves, for, as a general " thev rwpect the exclusive rights of fellow ZlULrSJ Such marriages are per ""I " r: " .. ,.,;-t..,l .nirl niicoiir-iTejil bv owners, as well m con- ill WV M f. J- ' sideration of the happiness of the slaves and their children; as because, in many ways, their in terest as masters, is thereby promoted, llcnce a married couple is permitted to have a "cabin and patch off to themselves," and where they belong to different persons, the man, at stated times, is al lowed "to go to his wife's house." The relatiou is so far favored in the administration of the Crimi nal LW, as to allow to it the effect of drawing into application the rule that when a person finds one in the. act of adultry with his wife, and insatntly kills him, it is hut manslaughter, because of the leal provocation.
