Iany men spend their prime in such close
application to business, that they allow them
selves no time for society. At middle age
the bachelor finds himself independent in
circumstances, but with no pJKner to share
ami no family to enjoy the fruits of his la

lhey are placed upon tlie confessional before
the females of the Matrimonial Committee; and
mi!hf commit in sacred con6dence their ages,
healths, fortunes, family connections, &c. all
ot which are duly registered. Being thus in
ducted into the Institution, let us explain the
manner and philosophy of their preparation
for, and introduction iuto the married state.
Primarily, then, we regard celibacy in a fe
male after attaining a certain age, as a disease.
Woman was created for practical results; she
is neither a platonic deduction, nor a physicolo-
gical abstraction. - She is a dual in her nature,
'and a parasite by first intention. The German
language designates the unmarried maid by a
term of the neuter gender; thus in its admirable
philosophy, voting woman a sexless cipher un
til married. What think ye of a mateless dove?
or a barren fiii-tree: or a bell without a clap-
ionable intercourse, lie knows nothirijr of
all those delicate and graceful offices of gal
lantry which mark a -polished gentleman,
such as ottering the arm, holding the pray
er book, turning the music, adjusting the
shawl, &c, and he is weighed down by an
oppressive sensS of ignorance on those points
He has no fund of small-talk, and is not pos

unmarried is not less an abnormal curiositv than
these. We regard celibacy, then, in the old
maid as a disease. Iltr disease admits of but
one cure, and thnt marriage. Hut ifhe
has been long suffering from it, she is every
day removed further and further from a cure
Violent symptoms are developed which, without
removal, render a cure next to impossible
Some of the most prominent of these symtoms
are spleen, melaucholy, dislike of her sex, aifec
tation, friskiness, fickleness, swimming in the
head, and fainting fits upon the near approael
of men, feline proclivities, intense piety, gossi
VWS' arUity, a"d manny others too numerous
to mention. Uur first care, then, is to remove
as far as we are able these symptoms. We do
this by removing, if possible, the original caus

vives, her spirits return, and a gtu'.le breeze
and buoyant waters seem to lift up Lerstanded
bark, and bear it onward iu the broad road
stead towards the heaven of matrimony. Then
the attention of the members of the Association
being gratuitous, and assiduous, she leaves off
her old and disagreable arts to attract attention
upon finding them supererogatory. Cats are
carefully excluded from the Asylum. Mirrors,
also, after several months of experience, have
been banished, and our patience are dressed by
patients, and advises with the board as to
courting her, he is given her position, family
age, and fortune, copied from the register.
Candid dealing, (however absurd and incred
ible it may seem to some), we believe to be
the shortest road to matrimony, and we
think we discover in it a conservative princi
ple, affording considerable security against
unhappy matches. It leaves no room for
disappointment. The circumstances of our
waning ma us in a sivie Biuiruimate iu men . . t . ,
T . it i inmates being carefully concealed except
acres. Looking in mirrors, we found, excited o i
that vanity in some which it was our design to
soothe; others it rendered fretful aud peevish,
and for some again it seemed to weave mourn
ing weeds for roses faded, and beauty departed.
Our discipline discourages sentimentality, as
we generally find it unnaturally developed.
We exclude all novels and poetry, Milton,
Shakespeare, and Iludibras excepted. Oar
diet is simple and wholesome, condiments being
avoided as much as possible. We have musi
cal instruments of all kinds, with carefully sel
ected music, such as "Love Not," "Twenty
Years Ago," S:c Italian and opera airs have
been latterly excluded because they seemed to
act unfavourably ou the nerves of many pa
tients. So much for the details of our plan, and our
discipline, and mode of treatment; now for the
results of our experiment.

from him who has made his selection,- we
have in this a protection against fortune hun

soceity, the attention of our beaux is direct

We believe that if many of the principles
we have fairly put in practice could be
brought to bear in society, one half the
connubial misery of the world would be
saved. "
Marriage is at best a lottery.
'Where liow few tlie prizes, and the blanks
are countless!-'
In society the middle aged marry from
avaricious or speculative motives, while the
young are dragged into matrimony as oxen

hale remarked, include only bachelors and

She had tailed: .Licet saepe requocsita;) she

GEN. WALKER. A Richmond correspond

Gen. Walker's personal appearance: ,
'"Twere hard to tell from an examination of
his face what kind of a man Wro. Walker is;.
Your first impression is, that he is of a gener
ous and benevolent nature, hut, on closer scru
tiny, you fancy you can detect a cold teaipera
ment and mos't determined disposition.. This
impression, however, is not a decided one, and
you become completely at oS8 what to think.

fineVcheek bones high and mouth large; his
hair which is of a rcdisn brown, he wears close
cut 'and in dress he is neat but not ostentatious.
His manners are very agreeable, but he seems
more disposed to be a listner than a talker.

sound of gee, wo haio, as slowly their wagons

the State, science and examination have ascer

coal andiron are deposited in the counties of
Moore and Chatham, and patriotic men h&ve
are struggling to build a
ghway to make these rich

cause an immense flow of

to eventually fail in this
important work for the want of a little aid?
We venture - the assertion that in no - other
State in the Union, would the call for help be
unheeded, when so important an interest was
at stake, as the successful operation of these
coal fields, and beds of iron ore "
