Grant Thor burin, of New York n old mar ried man, and one who. wight to understand wliat he writes from long isitperfence, in ' ft, series of articles directed particularly to the young mer chants of his own city, gives the following d vice concerning the choice of a bride and the husband's conduct to his wife after marriage :-T In choosing a wife, let lier be of a' family not vain of their name or connections, but remarka ble for their simplicity of manners and integrity of life. Let her be alike free from deformity and hereditary disease neither firf your eye on celebrated beauty she is apt to be too proud of her pretty face, and afraid to soil her delicate hands. The woman who washes her own silver spoons, China cups and platters, and performs o- tiier light services in the tamuy, iwj mast heahhy.-the most happy and the most eon tented (or thus she. gains the approbation of her husband and of her own conscience. The wo man who leaves her family four or five hours ev ery dar, running from shop to shop, and making calls, i's always unlmppy ; for conscience says you have been sowing the wind, you shall reap tlie whirlwind- Beauty is a very desirable in grcdnent in choosing a wife; you will be proud of your handsome wife When you introduce her to a friend ; but by ull means find out if you can, whether or not she is ram of her bnaitly. IF you find she is daily washing her already pretty face w ith milk of roses, and patent cosmetics that she is daily potrri"? water" and Macassar oil on tor airoady glossy- luur-rif this the case, it is rather an shruitng symptom. A hand some woman nover looks so well as whan she don't Inow it Good nalni"m Mother necessary virtue in a wile. This though, is not so essential, as a man must be a consummate block-head if he can not lead, (not drive,) a woman by fair words. A goou manager is another indispensable qualification. After marriage, if a woman does not pitjue her self on.Uer knowledge of family affairs, and lay ing out nioney to the best advantage, let her bo ever so sweet tempered, gracefully made or ele gantly accompliohed, elm is no wile for a man of business. When peopla are harnessed in the yoke matrimonial, tkey must draw logether. It's a man's duty to give to his wife ; 't's the wife's duty to use it with tlie most scrupulous economy. Havirg now resolved to get married, do not distinguish your wedding day with too much os tentaiion, nor suffer it to pass without-proper ac knowledgements. Let it wear a sober siuilj, such as would become your partner and you for life ; not to be convulsed with riotous laughter, that leaves tears in the eyes, and heaviness at the heart as soon as the fit is over. Moderation in all things is the very essence of life ; neither lly to the mountains nor linger about tlie springs; the money thus foolishly spent would pay for all the coal you would bum next winter; proceed in the usual easy tenor, of your way, prosecuting your regular business with all the sober realities on your back, for remember that the harvest lasts not ail the year. Continue to treat your wife with the same cheerfulness on your brow, lha same tenderness in your eyes, the same obliging turn in your behavior with which you were wont to treat her in the days of courtship ; if you do this, her love will never change. Above all things, never let her imagine it a penance for you to stay at ''home or that you prefer any company whatever to hers ; let her share witii you in all your pleasures. By these and similar acts of kind ness, you will secure her love and gratitude at once, and she will say sh.3 is the happiest woman upon earth. Ax Eloquent DEFEtsc4tt the Militia. They aro tulkir.st about a reform cf the militia law of the State oi New York, but the advocates of ' the. old system' bring tu 'ls defence such a power of eloquence that change need naruiy ue anticipated. We cannot kirbear making an -extract from a speech which wes delivered recently at Albaoyj in defence of the glory of the militia : The Militia io the bone and grizzle of the coun try. It locks, bolts, and bars the gata of. crea tion, and stands sentinel on the ramparts of Na ture's dominions. This Republic would bo a mis erable concern, but for the,,,militia.

Mow, under these circumstances the prices are to be 50 per- cent higher, we cannot tell. Such, however, is the prevailing opinion, and contracts have already been made here at $4, as above stated.

LEAVES-Ko.3;3.t Why didn't Smit marty PocaohtaT1' ' ' Reproach bat been frequently cart upon the mem ory of Captain Smith, oa accoant of his 'not having married Pocahontas. It has grown into sort of stereotyped fashNi, with torn who indulge a r- mantio sentimentstisiti, and who, perhaps, hays sever taken the trouble to examine ths hif '.oHcal facts of the ease, to remark " Captain Smith Wad a very ' great man but whitt a shame that ha did not marry Pocahontas I" I now propose to engage in the fif ing task of endeavoring to vindicate the faros ot the Father of the Virginia Colony from this aspersion. The rescue of Smith by Pocahontas took place in the winter of 1607. She was then only 12 or 13 years of age. (Stith'n list, of Va., p. 55.) He was 2S, as appears from an inscription on his likeness pre fixed to his History of Virginia. He left Vireiuia ear ly ia the year 1003, when she was about fourteen but bad she been older, and had Jit desired to marry hor, ami had she iriven her consent, it is not easy to iwe bow he could have effected it, unless by kid uapping lier, as was don by the unscrupulous Ar gull, some years afterward a measure, which, if it had been adopted in ltiU9, when the C-oloay was feeble in uumbera and paralyzed by anarchy, wtuld probubly iiave excited the vengeance of f owhstan, aud involved tlie Colony in ruin. In 1612, Argall, by chance, found Pocahontas on the banks of the Potomac. From the time of Smith's departure till then, site lmd never been seen at Jamestown, but had lived, as she thought, incognito (iSlith.'p. 127) on tlie Potomac, liulruyed into Argal.'s bauds, she was carried captive to Jamestown. Iu theiipBiig.of 1G13,. it isttdi that, "ug before this, ill.. John Uolfo. a worthy young gentle man, and f good behavior, had been in love ilh Pochontas, and ke with hitn." (Stlth 12.9.). Uaw, " long before" the Spring of 1613, must have been at least as fur back as the early part of 1612, when she was captured. Had she remained a year or two at Jamextown Hill, "fancy-free," the romantic sen timeiitallNt might have had some plausible ground of cuiupktiiit, tliul Smith did not come over the At lantic aud " propose." The match, however, ap pears to have been speedily mode up, and the mar riage took place in April, 1613. It is true, that Po cahontas, us she afterwards declared to Smith in England, had been always' told that he was. dead, and she never knew otherwise till the reached Ply mouth. Lint Smith had no band in pructunug thid decepliou. Again In England she called him "father," an apptillaUou which she would hardly have used tu wuidt. him, if she had meant to upbraid htm for not having man icd ln-r. Ir language was, " 1 tell you, tlieu, 1 will call you father, and you shall call' me child,' and so I will be forever of your kiudrrd and country." (Stith 143.) So much as to Smith's uot marrying Pocahontas. A singular celebration took place on the 9th int. ai North Coventry, (Conn.) The Church in that ton n celebrated by religious observances, the one hundredth anniversary of its establishment, aud the Divine blessing on the occasion was invoked by the venerable Dr. fi'ott, of Franklin, now in the ninety' ttcond your of his age, and the tixty-fifth of his ministry. After the religious ceremonies were over, the Company dined together at the Academy, and at the heud of one of the tables the reverend and venera ble patriarch was placed, furnished with a pewter platter, once belonging to the Rev. Sumson Occam, the celebrated Indian preacher : and with a napkin. made one hundred and fill y years ajo by a lady of lliwton, who has been dead more than a century. M uch of the table furniture was ef pewter, such as the ancestors of those present used, and cake was served, made from a receipt used a century ago " beau porredge," a favorite dish of olden time, not being forgotten. After dinner ths company adjourned ad diem, that is, a vote was passed adjourning the meeting tu the aih day of October, 1945. Fish, Flesh, Fowl, and Vegetables. It is a singular fact that fatal diseases are, at the pre sent 'moment, prevalent amongst members ot all the above named tribes. Cattle, as our readers know, have Jong been slilicted with a distemper which has destroyed numbers ; grouse have died in hundreds, of some ' malady winch has been variously described ; and the murrain amungst potatoes has destroyed the crops oyer a great portion of Europe. It is now stated that a plague of some description has broken out amongst the fish in the rivers, numbers of pike, eels, and other fish being found dead or dying on the sur face of the w,ater London Paper. AN0THE8 MtTRDEK. IN TENNESSEE A most wilful murder was committed a few nights since ier Cleaveland, in Bradley county, Tenn,, on the body of James Hill, by, it is supposed, a young marl of the name of ilayiiuld, from Arkansas. It appears that Mayfield returned to that section cf country after an absence of several years, and went to the bouse ofMr. Ililljuet aflur dark, anj asked if be could stay all night. Mr. 11. replied that be could, and advanced towards the fencr, when Mayfield deliberately shot lulu duw n in b. own yard and nade his escape. Benefits of Advertising. An Eastern cor respondent of the Richmond Whig, in noticing the unparalleled prosperity which has attended certain Commercial and Manufacturing houses which he visited, eavs : Iu order to secure cus tomers they advertise freely, which is all es seutial if a merchant or business man wishes to be successful. For instance, one of these Clo thing Stores pays to the Boston Atlas alone, up wards of si'.5 hundred dollars a year for adverti sing ! lie mentions several men who had begun will) a capital of $25, but who had grown enor mously rich, and one of t he-great means depend ed on was advertising freely. He aknowledges that he was drawn to their store by seoinjr their advertisements,' as wett -hundreds of otlief s h( fact, strangers almost invariably go tu the uouses tuey see tree ly auveruscu. Before the commission of crime, it would be well for the vicious to remember that there are others to share in the sorrow and disgrace inflict ed, if not in the guilt of the criminal. Witt) the unfaltering fidelity wh.cli is ever exhibited by woman iu seasons of adversity and trial, we find Potter s mother aud sister, in this dark hour, clinging to him with touching devotion. They pass with him through crowds of gazing pedple, and forgeting the odium of the priioner's box, are there watching with painful and, intense interest the progress of the trial. There is a moral sub limity in all this, and one is apt to feel that to be deserving of such affection its recipient should be at least a virtuous and exemplary man. The tea timony of Potter's parents, yesterday, excited the most painful emotions. The griered heart was expected to testify in behalf of the child, charged with the most heinous crime, and their sensibility appeared to soften snd subdue the prisoner. 1 hey wept -and the crowded audience could not repress sympathetic tears. Let young men, who have vicious propensities, remember that their conduct deeply wounds parental tenderness, and often lacerates aud breaks a mother's heart. N.JlPaUadium.

A physician was immediately sent lor wnen ins accioeni nappenea, out ceiora be rriv ed the child was dead. A Good Uodntst.

A jtoxbury -farmer who came in town for mtnure, an) who took pride in appear mg like I poor man, with a shovel on bis shool- der, cslled at the eflunting-iroom of the man, and asked him if he wanted silver dollars. "Yes,' replied the merchant ; have yea got any 1''. . . -t. . " Not with me," said the farmer, "out I think I have a? few at home. What do you give 1" "Four per ceut,"'saTd the merchant, and added, " I will give yw set-en for all you will bring me.'-' Well,!' said the mn. I should like,. to have you chip downlin paper ho'w much you give, snd the number of your shop, or I shall be puzzled to find it." "Tes," said Wie merchant, " that I wilt do; what Is your namls T" ' ' v " Edward Sumser, said he. ' ' ' ' ' The merchant then wrote as follows, and gave it to him : t Edward Sumner, of Roxhnry, say that he thinks that he has some Spanish dollars home, but don't know. I hereby agree lo pay him 7 per cent premium for alt such dollars as be may produce. - G A." " If I find any," said the cartman, " I'll call with tbetir to-Wrrow.morning at nine o'clock;! if I don t you won't see me." The appearance of the man satisfied the mer- e hsr it that ms dollars would be scarce. "At nine 1 o'clock the next day, howerejr, the man appeared; snd stocking full after stocking full was carried up and emptied on the table, until teeen thoutand were counted. The merchant, somewhat restive, but honorably caught, took the silver, gave a check Tor the amount, with seven percent added, pleasantly remarking : " 1 really did not suppose, from your appear ance, that you could have more than half a doz en dollars.' ' Mr. S took up his check, and replied in his own peculiarly emphatic style : t,, Sir, 1 II tell you a truth, which a man in your standing in tlie world ought to' know, and ills this Appearances oftentimes deceive us !" Bebavino Deaths A most heart-bereaving event occurred at Fort Pickering.on Friday even ing, by which tha aiilictetl parents of three prom ising little boys about seven or eight years'of age, were suddenly summoned to bid them adieu for eternity. Three little boys, JohC, Osceola, and Tecuinseh, sons of Mr. J. A. Turley, Mr. John MnrriH, and Mr. Nevil, being at play and not re turning home as early as customary, were sought for by their parents, and the hat of one of them found at the foot of the bluff near the river by its almost distracted mother. The father returning again to the spot where the hat was lound, discovered a little hand and arms extending above a pile of fresh tlirt, recent ly failed down from tlie bluff, which revealed the awful and heart-rending truth to the agonized parents, that they were buried alive in the dirt ! They were' all three immediately taken out, but were dead ! they had been at play under the bank, when if suddenly caved in arid buried them. They had been missed about four hours when found, and were covered over but slightly with the dirt, their lilll'j bodies not at all bruised. Memphis Tenn ) Eagle. English Criminal Court. An opportunity offered a few days ago to visit for the first time Sn English criminal court ; and I was much amused with the offhand manner in which the learned Judge, Mr. Baron Parke, threw off the business. To see the judge in a big wig and scarlet gow n, and the lawyers with bigger wigs and black go.vos the whole party with' bands similar to those worn by the old fashioned ortho dox clergymen gave the whole scene the ap pearance of the stage at a theatre, and the parties performing a broad burlesque. A fellow was up for forgery ; the evidence was given in about ten minutes ; the. solicitors on each side occupied perhaps fifteen minutes moreT; and the jury after consulting some three or four minutes, returned a verdict of guilty. Then the Judge, in true Dick( Riker style, informed the prisoner " that forgery was a very bad offence, much practised in this community ; the law was formerly much more severe than it is now, and the judge had a considerable discretionary power; 1 might have transported you for life, put I shall only send you two years to the penitentiary. Mr. Clerk, what is the next case, if you please ?" Tom Placide could act the scene most admirably. Letter from Europe, Jcdgk Stohy a Po$t. The Salem Register says, that in his earlier days, Judge Story was ac customed to write poetry, and gives as a specimen the following motto, standing at the head of that paper : Here shall the Patss the PsoriVs Kiohts main tain, Unawed lij NrLur.sc, and unsought by Gaiw; Hers Patriot Thutr her glorious precept draw, Pledged to RtLieios, Libsbtv and Law." "This motto, to the glorious principles of which -I we have always endeavored to be faithful, was written lor the llcgister, and hrst puauslied at the head of our columns in January, 1803. There it has ever since remained, and there, we trust, .it will remain ; tlio guide of the course of its conductors, as long as the paper shall exist." Some old-traveller is jotting down conclusions from his varied experience in the Boston Cour ier. He is a man of sense, for we find him mo ralizing over a breakfast at the Astor Horse in the following strain ; I notice that some people swallow their coffee or tea in the morning or bolt down a large quan tity of meats and drinks in an indefinite, because too few, number of minutes, and then run off to business like a flash of lightning. This hi not good for the digestion, and will invariably lead to dvsoensia. A breakfast is as important as a oin ner, and neither the one nor the other should be hastened or abused. If a man is hurried for time in the morning, he. should rise earlier better lose a little sleep than spoil the tone of the stom ach. Sobs Throat. We have known several in- stances in which this distressing complaint, even in its worst stages, has been immediately allevi ated, and speedily cured by the following remedy: f Mix a pennyworth pounded camphor 'with a wine-glass full of brandy, pour a small quantity On a lump of sugar, and allow it Jo dissolve in the mouth every hour. t The third or fourth gen erally enables the patient to s wallow. with ease. So says an exchange paper. tTbe following lines ars Oot remarkable as poetry ; but the sentiment is. excellent " An obstr vaaos of ths direction would mak the world happier and batter : "WhatsreaBotow'sfanlUtomei I've not a vulture's bill. , - To pick at evary flaw 1 see, -Li ,. -And make it wider still. It is enough for m le know . I've follies of my ewaw Aad ea my heart the care bestow,. , - And 1st my friend's alone.' T TVHIG$ TfjE SAME EVERY WHERE." The editor the Standard, in allusion fo the defeat of Mr. Gardner, the Loco Foco candidate for Speaker of the Senate of TehnJssee, exclaims, In .the bitterness of his Ire. " Truly, Whiggery is the'israe everjt where." ' , ,1 And so it is. The "Whiors" onoosad Mr. Rnl. I ner because of his disorganizing principles, his (disregard of law and th4 constitution, by which the State of Tennessee was for two years unreo- resented jn the Senate of the United States The Whigs act from principle ; they are the sup porters of taw and order all over the Union. And they are equally consistent in the measures they advocate; the same in the North and the South, the East and the 'West they are for promoting and protecting Amorcan industry by a judicious revenue ..tariff; for providing' for the establish ment of common echools for the education of all classes of the people, by . appropriating- for that purpose ths proceeds of the public lands ; for a faithful and economical administration of the gov ernment In si! its departments, and against the prostitution of official patronage for party pur poses. In these great principles there is no va. riance among the Whigs; and the Standard speaks truly when it says " Whiggery is the same every where." But how is it with the pie-bald party with Which he is associated ) What groat principle of pub lic policy is It upon 'which they are united ! Can the Standard inform us? We see leagued to gether bank and anti-bank men, nullifiers and fed eralists, tariff and anti-tariff, sub-treasuryites, a grarians and repudiationists : lhe Standard and the free-trade faction at the South .supporting James JC. Polk because of his free trade orinci. plea.and an equally zealous portion of iba, Da. uiocracy in Pennsylvania and other portions of the north, supporting the same James K. Polk because "he is a better tariff man than Mr. Clay;" being all things to all men, that, by any means, they may retain the loaves and fishes. Whig gery is the same every where," but what is Lo cofocoisrn! Will the Standard enlighten us? Hilhlmo' Recorder. We perceive by the regular New York Cor respondence of the Union, that the Locofocos were cocked and primed for a DtmcuLTy, at the last Presidential election, if New York had vot ed fur Mr. .Clay. It is well known that the vote of New York decided the election and it now seems, that the leaders expected to lose it and had arranged to contest the election, and prevent Mr. Clay's inauguration !. Tins correspondent says : , "In the late canvass, it was well understood in Tennessee bv the Democratic party that Pre. sident Polk carried the State, had the returns at Nashville bch fairly summed up. Had the le gal votei offered by Democrats, and refused by Whig inspectors, been admitted, and the Whig votes manifestly illegal had been excluded, the result wouid have given the Stato to President Polk. He virtually received the vote of bis Slate and had INew York voted against him, he still would have been virtually the President of the United States. Had the result of the contest been narrowed down to the State of Tennessee, the democratic party would have put the vote in Tennessee in its true light, and would have claim the inauguration of President Polk."' Now we have Hot the slightest doubt, and so say the Whigs of Tennessee, that the actual ma- jority for Mr. Clay- over Mr. Polk, was greater than the returned vote. And yet the leaders of the, Locofoco party, were prepared to assert the contrary, and with the otncial voles against ttiem, to have thrown the countrv into a state of an an archy and civil discord. Can it bo possible that such a plan was, in reality, resolved on by the leaders f Alec, uazetle. INTERNAL. IMPROVEMENTS. A writer in Hunt's "Merchant's Magazine," byway of illustrating the "influence ot Internal Improvements, on the growth of cities," has the following remarks : " It is but forty-five years since Cincinnati, now numbering about 75,000 inhabitants, was a wilderness. St. Louis, isone thousand miles W. of the Alleghany mountains, about half its age, nearly rivals, and soon will exceed Cincinnati, in her admirable intermediate position for the trade of the 'far west,' Oregon and California. New Orleans, Which was comparatively a village for ty years ago, although settled for more 'than a century previous, now greatly exceeds Boston in population, and is rapidly on the increase, now that steam .navigation and free institutions have thrown open 6000 miles of rivers, that were in terdicted to France and Spain, during the period Louisiana was under the government of each of those arbitrary countries." "From this picture of success in building up cities and the necessity of having a communica tion with, aiback country, by good roads, canals, and railways, it: is only necessary to turii from the city of New York to the dilapidated city of Perth Ainboy, that was commenced long before New York, Gloucester, on the sand plains of New Jersey, was commenced before "Philadel phia ; Annapolis before Baltimore: Jamestown and Norfolk before Richmond, both good ports, but without any back country or good roads. The city of Newport, depending merely on com merce, although, at one time it exceeded any villaire in the " Bay Colony, foil behind ltoston so soon as her enterprising population coupled tlie produce of agriculture and tlio forest with her fish and oil trade, to mane assorted cargoes to tne West Indies; thus building up a marine that still exceeds New York- There)' is truth and no fiction in the following neat and appropriate article from the Salem Ga zette "Gratuitous Printing." There is no such thing as doing any thirig " ggltuilously'' in a printing office. Somebody must pay for every thing that is done. Not a line can be set that does not cost money for ihe.setting.. Either the printer must pay the whole, or the advertiser must pay his share. The only question, there fore, to be asked by the publisher who is to pay. the money for the labor, is, what ground has this party or individual to require ineto pay for the promotion of its or his objects 1e The Raleigh 'Register' and 'Standard' have each been bragging on their large pumpkin one a VVhig, the other a Democratic pumpkin.

The business meetings of the Society are di vided between Deep River meeting-house and New, Garden. The Meeting will not adjourn uutil aboutFriday next Thursday's mail "coach brought up a company of eight or ten Friends from the North as we understand, from the ci ties of Portland, New York and Baltimore-ww their way to the N. C. Yearly Meeting. The quiet, inoffensive, yet dignified .beariug of these men and women of peace, was the subject of respectful remark among the passers by. Thora is a peculiar placidness aud candor in a genuine Quaker lady's face, and much of " heaven in her eye." Their tidy and modest dresses, too, with out a grain of the superfluity of " the world'j people" about them, command the admiration of true taste. And the male dress, when " made up" in city style certainly sets off a manly form to uncommon advantage. VVe are half incline7 to suspect that the wearers' are but too conscious of this fact, and therefore stick the closer to their fashion ! We have been accused of cherishing a " hang" towards the Quakers, from some imagin ed association, or inheritance, or something else; and could never account for it, pbssossiing so lit. tie as we do (to our shame be it spoken) in com. mon with this excellent people. Rut it has just now popped; into mind that the accusation is founded upon our undisguised admiration of their Doric plainnesstheir righteous escbewal of all sorts of ungodly tights and high heels and square toes, and of the immense backing required i- modern fashion to deform the beautiful, gloriousT sacred handiwork of nature in the female figure. Yea, we've hit tlio origin of this absurd idea con. cerning our conspicuous selves. If our accusers could see us face to face on muster day, rigged out in the " pomp and circumstance of glorious war," in -the militiaous ranks of our country's brave defenders, marking time with the tread of giants to the rub-a-dub and tee too-tle of Jake and Jim-a-long; and behold the savage determi nation with which we shut pan ! .tear cartridge! draw ramrod! and begin to prepare to make ready to eome to a shoulder ! we guess tliey would be afraid to throw up wiuaker to us again very goon ! Speaking of arms we are carried in imagination right into the front of New Garden meeting-house. Far other scenes now meet the eye than was presented on thq morning of the battle of Guilford, sixty odd y$ars ago. The same walls are yet shaded by the same venerable oaks which waved their unconscious branches otor the advancing forces of Great Britain. The n cred silence of the place was then invaded by tlio clang of arms, lhe galloping of squadrons of horse, and the earthquake tread of marching armies. General Lee with hie cavalry had been sent Out early from the American lines, four miles north, to reconnoiter. Just at sun rise he turned under the oaks in front of the mee ting house, and descried the banners and arms of the Queen's Guards the advance of the British army, approaching by way of Deep Riv er road. The Guards instantly wheeled into line and fired : but aiming too high, their bullets merely cut offasliower of twigs and leaves vvtncn fell upon Lee's detachment. The glancing of the early sunshine from the bright muskets of the Guards, as they brought them to " present," frightened the horses into momentary contusion. The commander was thrown off, but soon re mounted. He discovered that Cornwallis was advancing in full force, and immediately retired to his position1 in the lines of his own army Blood flowed that day,' and War in all its mur derous horrors revelled among the opposing hosts. Some British soldiers are buried in that quiet grave-yard. Far from their native land red from the field of battle their hands were folded upon their cold bosoms, and they sleep whh tho children of .Peace- The Quaker and the Soldier rest together, snd the green vine of the grave twines its lowly tendrils overboth alike.
