Pa rental Kxamtle.- There is often a
great deal more conveyed through a single
hentence, than we are apt to imagine. Our
future destiny may bo swayed by the hear
ing of one little word, and that word may be
spoken in our hearing at a very early period
of our lives. Many a father, when years be
gan to sober the buoyant tumult of his spir
its, has woundered and grieved over the dis
positions and actions of his son or daughter,
marvelling whence they came ; whereas the
son or daughter received the feelings which
gave birth to such actions, while they were
but infants, from the lips of their father aa
they heard him recount the deeds, the ex
ploits, the feats of bravsry of his young boy
hood. From the hour that a child begins
to notice the objects around it, or to ba sen
sible of kind or fcarsh treatment, from that
moment every one who takes it in his arm 9,
and every object around it, bwomes its in
structor. All children sre Inquisitive, and
this anxiety for more knswledge should be
ensourasred rather than repre3sod. Achild's

parent hesitate 5n replying thus, if he reflect-"
ed, that what he terms idle curiosity is the
restless, never-ceasing yearning of tlve im
mortal spirit that will never be entirely sat
isfied ? The great plea urged by those who
neglect these important duties, is want of
of time. Uut God never imposed upon any
of his creatures a single duty without giving
lime for its performance.
Sadness. There is a misterious feeling
that frequently passes, like a cloud, oyer the
spirit. Jt comes upon tlie soul in the basy
bustle of life,-in the social circle, in the calm
an I iVnt retreat of solitude. Its powers is
- ' d'ke Pirpreme over the weak and lion-hcart-
ed. At one time it is caused bv the fiittinsr
of a single thought across the mind. Again
a sound will come booming across the ocean
of memory, jloomy and solemn as the death
knell, oyerslndowing all the bright hopes
I i t i -
and sunny iecJin3 or tlie heart, wno can
-
i describe it,
anl yet who has not felt its be-
wildering influence?
Still it is a deieious
sort of sorrow ; and like a cloud dimming
the sunshine ol the river, although casting
a momentary slnde of gloom, it enhances the
beauty of returning brightness!
Temperance Anecdotes. A man was
taken before a magistrate for hat ing, while
drunk, knocked dpwn in the street a minis
ter of religion. Tue prisoner was fully con
victed of the offe.ee, but by the reverend
gentleman whom he had injured, was liber
ated on signing th te-to-U?l pledges for a
month. At the expiration of the month he
called at the house of the divine, and being
introduced, expressed his gratitude for the
afreets of the pledge he had submitted to,
and concluded with expressing the utmost
sorrow at not having met and knocked down
his reverence thirty years before.
A Sensible Gikl. A Preacher was one
day struck with surprise on beholding a beau
tiful 8et of curls on the head of a lovely
maid, a member of his class, whoso hair had
been very plain.
'Ah! Eliza,' said he, 'you should not
waste your precious time curling your hair ;
if God intended it to be curled he .would
have curled it for you.'

II U M O It
THE TI.TIES.
How oft I've thought, and mourned to think
. Times aint as they was uster.
When people went to bed at dark,
And got up with the rooster.
Those days of old were glorious days,
For fashion didn't rule us ;
And whp.n the fellers sparked the gals,
We had no fear they'd fool us.
And in those plain, old fashioned times,
The boys worked for their daddies
The girls assisted their mammas,
Aud never put on paddies
The boys tried then by work to learc.
And pain some useful knowledge;
While now, as soon as they are grown
They must be sent to college.
And then, when you would see the gals,
At work 3-ou'd surely find 'em -
Their dress was plain a linsey coat,
And aprons tied behind 'em
But now the gals have sadly changed
From what they were of yore ;
A bustle now they stick behind ;
They ne'er used them before.
Brick houses then were seldom built.
And. log ones seldom painted;
The girls they didn't dress so fine,
Aud lace up till they fainted.
And when the girls got married then,
They married not for riches ;
They loved their husbands as they should,
And never wore the breeches.
The parents they no matches made,
The girls did their own choosin' ;
And when they went to church at night,
They always put thick shoes on.
A cradle then was never used
The women wouldn't ask it ;
The baby, when it wished to sleep,
W laid down in a basket.
A young gentleman was one day arranging
music for a young lady, to whom, lie was
paying Lis addresses. "Pray, Miss D,"
said Le, "what time do you prefer T' "Ob,"
she replied, carelessly, " any time will do
bat the quicker the Letter.
We published "The Wile's" Command
ments" a-few weeks since; and we now take
The other side," by giving.
THE husband's commandments.
1. Thou shalt have no other husband but
me. ' - " ;
2. Thou shalt not encourage the attention
of young snippar-snappers, nor caress other
men, for I am a jealous husband, visiting
&c.
3. Thou shalt not rxvcv thy husband's face
at any store.
4. rtemember thy husband and respect
him.
b. Honor thy husband's parents.
0. Thou shalt not fuss.
7. Thou shalt not conia to the breakfast
table with a- sour face or uncombed hair.
8. Thou shalt not talk scandal.
9 Thou shalt not neglect the children.
10. Thou shalt not gad the streets, thou
shalt not covet-the article thou seest in the
store windows, nor twenty dollar embroider
ed handkerchiefs, nor ten bredths to thy
dresscs, nor eight flounces, but thou shalt
clothe thyself and thy household with such
as thy husband can afford.
11. Thou shalt not visit confectionary
shops more than once a day, nor drink of
cordial in the forenoon, nor sell thy husband's
eight dollar pants to the old clothes man for
a two or three penny bottle of cologne.
And the twelfth commandment, is, thou
shalt be at home at the dinner hour, and shalt
pour out thy husband's eoffee before ten
o'clock in the morning.
"Papa, one of my school-fellows says his
brother wears a mustache what are they?"
"Mustaches, my son,- are bunches of hair
worn on' the lip by certain dandies, as a sub
stitute of brains." "Well, papa, are those
who wear mustaches what are ealled hxre
brained people."
Amiable Simplicity. "Mamma, has
flour eyes ?" "Why, no, child but what
put that in jour head V ( "Because, ma, the
newspaper says flour is looking vp." Jane,
prepare for school you are a remarkably
stupid child, considering the trouble that
has been had with you.
The frequent expression. "Go i& thun

your departure to the abode of the reverbera

Unan imous Declaration of the Seven NbrtJi
ern Stixtes of the Sierra Madre of Mexico.
. When, in the course of human events, it
becomes necessaryfor one nation to dissolve
the political bonds wbick unite it to anoth
er, and to assume separately among the pow
ers of the earth the position to which' tho.
laws of nature, and nature's God, entitle it,
a decent respect for the opinion of mankind
requires that it should state the causes which,
impel it to the separation".- ; ;
The history of the present and past goV'
eminent of M exica is a history of repeated
injuries and usurpation, all having for thefr
direct object the establishment of an abso
lute tyranny over these States. Tq prove
this, we present tH following facts to an ini-
Xiirf Jal worlrt . - j :.' . .- . ...L.
First.--Wearied with, political changes,
which have been 'heretofore nothing mom
than continued oppression, exercised by new
hands, we declare ourselves free. '
'Second. Weared with the exactions of
the govtnmeht, wliicb have been made sole
ly for the purpose fof perpetuating the pow
er of the usurpers of the liberties of the peo-
j pie, we declare ourselves free.
, Third. Wearied with the armies whiclr
have been- collected sojely to oppress and an
nihilate the industry of all, except that "of
the. oppressors, we: declare ourselves freev-Y
fourth. Wearied that our beloved reli
gion, constantly threatened by bayonets; is
fettered in its design of benevolence and pub
lic instruction, we declare ourselves free
Fifth. Wearied- that the people, in the
midst of their vasti domains, are denied the-
right of individual possession, we declare
ourselves free. ? '
Sixli.-Wcan&i with the promises which
have been made tq our children, who anx
iously await in vain of their rulers the right
of education, we declare ourselves free. ": v
Seventh. Wearied that our aged fathers
are sinking gradually into the grave, like the
brutes, without any alleviation, we declare
ourselves free. 1 ; r Y '
Eighth. . Wearied "that whilst misery and
poverty prevail every where, the usurpers
amass purple and jgold, we declare ourselves
free. ' . , . . . ;.
Ninth Weared with the national decla
ration that slavery,' should not be tolerated,
on our soil, while the domestic service is art
odious, horrible and-truel system;, and. pre
vails without alleviation- and without parallel,
we declare ourselves free, , ' ' .
Wherefore we, the people of Ihe Seven
Northern States of Mexico, apealing to the
Supreme Judge of the Universe for the .rec
titude of our intentions now solemnly cU
clare lt that these United States are free and
independent !" That they are absolved from
all allegiance towards the Mexican govern
ment, and that all Connexion between them
has ceased, is and Ought to be, entirely dis
solved. And consequently as free and inde
pendent States, W have the right to .levy
troops of war, make, peace, form alliances,
establish commerce and perform any other
act or thing which appertains of right to frej?
nn'ri inderjendent States.-'" "And 3 to sustam
m-tthis declaration, vnva. a . una reliance upon
nJn'nA Providence, we mutually nledcre to
each other our fives, our fortunes and our
sacredj honor.- j , ,
