IT he dare not ploce confidence in the companion of his bosom, where is he to place it ? A wife acts not for herself only, but she is the agent of may she loves, ,and she is bound to act for their good, and not for her own gratification. Her husband's good is the end to which she should aim : his approbation! is her reward. Self grat ification in dress, or indulgence in appetite or more company than bis purse can well entertain, are equally pernicious. The first adds vanity and extravagance; the se cond fastens a doctor's bjll o a long butch er's account ; and the latter brings intem perance, the worst of evils in its train. S j. . " - . h ? ... TJie Wit of a German Lawyer. There are many stratagems in war, and as many it may wejl be said in ibve or law. We have heard oftentimes bow the strata gems of love have outwitted parental vig ilance, but we never heard of a case where law so effectually aided Hymen as rela ted in a Bavarian journal. The transla tion may not be so good as Dr. Kraister might give, but it runs to the efiect that a young man of Nuremburg, who had no fortune, requested 'a lawyer, a friend of Kb, to recommend htm to a family where he vyas a dail3' visitor, and where there was1 a handsome daughter who was to have a large fortune. The Javvyer agreetj ; but the father of the young lady who lov ed money immediately asked what pro perty the young man had. The lawyer said he did not exactly know, but he would inqbife. The next timo he saw bis young friefnd heasked Hini if he badany property at all. No replied he. "Well," said the lawyer, "would you suffer any one to cufbffyour nose if the would give Vou twenr fhousand dollars for it?" M Noi for all; the world.?' "'Tis well," replied the lawyer, "jl had a reason for akjng." fThe next time he saw the girlj's father, he said, I have inquired about this youn man's circumstances. He has indeed no ready money, but he has a jewel for whichf to my knowledge, he has been offered arid refused twenty thousand dol lars." T$isjinduced the old father to con sent; to the marriage, which 4IW ; r .,uw?r oantee, staling tt(.ra!afell sha11 suffer death ten,eei? of e Emperor rcfa , , ?n(l on 25jh day of Uf'S"?

On the 5th insfj., as a gentleman of this city was lookinjg out of a window, he saw a black kitten fall past Jiinii, apparently from? the top bf the house, and expected to see it dashed dead .upfn Jhe side-walk ; but, contrary to his expectations, when it reached the ground it began to walk. Some childrep supposing itto be injured, took;! it in anjd gave it sbme milk, which it lapped in the usual stle. 1 The next morning the lady of the house; went into the cellar to give it some Jtiorb milk, when, strange to., ref late, it darted past her a distance of twen ty feet, fvithbut touching the ground, and went out of the bouse, ascending upwards in the air more rapidly than it had fallen down the dav before, and was soon lost tb view amongi the clouds.

None but those who havet felt the "tender passion," can fully appreciate the intensity of the poet's "phelings."

And poor Lucy Neal, the Heloise of darkies her very name has become the synonym of pathos,poetry, and love.

THE lRIHMAKjAND THE DEACON. A Sam Patch Lfdp. On Monday last an emuMator of the; fame and fate of Sam Patch jumped from the " High Bridge" (over Harlem rivervfj into the; water below (a distance of 105 feet.) greatly to the en tertainment of several hundred persons, who had been attracted thither to witness the feat by an advertisement. He first stripped himself, excepting ai' covering of cotton netting, and leaped into the air. A sort of flapping rnotion of the hands was made, as if to steady himself and impede the rapidity of thedescent ; then, just be fore reaching the water, which is about twenty! feet deep, e straightened himself out and entered it perpendicularly. Quick ly f isinjg to the surface, he swam to a boat close by, apparently uninjured. He per formed?the same feat on the previousTues day. S IH ' i I ' I i I . ; - i '- Quoting Scripture. A worthy deacon in the good toWn of F. was remarkable for the facility with which he quoted Scripture oh all occasions. The Difine Word wag ever at his tongue's end, and all (he trivial, a well as important occur, rences f life furnished occasions for quoting the language of the Bible. What is better, however, the exemplary man made his quota tions the standard olf action. One hot day he was engaged in mowing, with his hired man who was leading ofl the deacon following in his swath, conning his apt quotations, when the man suddenly sprang from his place, leav ing the swath jusl injUme to escape a wasp's nest. J ;'; . i "What is the matter ?" hurriedly inquired the deacon. 1 " Wa.ps !" was the laconic reply. " Pooh !" said lhe deacon, " the wicked flee when tip man pursuetb, hut the1 righteous are as bold: as a lion ;" and faking the workman's s waib, he moved but a step when a swarm of brisk insects settled aboot his ears,, and he was forced to retreat, with many a sting, and in great discomfiture. 1 ; t " Ahk !" shouted the other wilh achuckle, "the prudent nrn fdreseeth the evil and hideth himself Ihut the simple pass on and are punish ed." s . t ':. . r. . . The good deacon had found his equal in ma. king application to the sacred writing and there after, w;as hoi known a quote Scripture in a mowing field. ! Horrible Outi age Abduction ! On last Saturday nigbt in Catawba county, Wilson England inflicted several stabs in in the abdomen, breast, and other parts of the body of histfather-in law, Nathan iel Wilson, Esq., who has served in the Legislature, and who, at the time of this unfortunate affair, was a candidate for the Commons. J ; f Having, as he supposed, murdered his father4in-law, England, taking Wilson's best horse, abductedithe sister of his wife, a younger daughter of Wilson s, and with her escaped, thus bringing ruin upon ma ny, atong whomlthfe unfortunate joum ful yicftim of bislfwless passion will ulti mately become the most miserable. Mr.lWtlson's vfouads are found to be very slvere, rendering his recovery a mat ter of kfeat uncertainty. England is pur sued, and, it is hoped,, will be overtaken, brought back, and duly punished. tfj Since the above was in type, intel ligence is received that Jklri Wilson is dead. Lincoln Itejtublicam A few month 71' as Deacon litgal, of Swampscott, 1.

Patwas a strong, athletic man; a true (path olic, and bad never seen ihe interior of a Prot estant church. It was a pleasant Sabbath morning that brother Ingalls met Pat, who en. quired for Ihe road nearest to the church. Ingalls was a good pious man. He told Pat be was going to church himself, and invted his new made acquaintance to accompany him ihither, his place of destination bein a mall Methodist meeting-bouse near by. There wasj . ..:Li .i l! .t . . VN revival mere ai inai time, ana one ol the deacons (who, by the way, was of very smalt stature,) invited brother I. to take a seat in his pew. He niccepted the invitation and walked in, followed by Pat, who looked in vain lb find the altar, &e. After: he was seated be (timed to brother Land in a whisper which could be heard all around, inquired j bure,;a(id isn t this a heretic church IV " Hush I'f said Ingalls, u if you speak a loud word they will put you out." word will I speak at all, at jail, jjivii a replied Pat. The rnee the pastor. ing was opened with a prayer by rat was eyeing him very closely, t t .i ' when suddenly an old gentleman who I was standing in the pew, directly in front of Pat shouted " glory." 1 "Hi s s tj, ye clear diyil," rejoined Pa,- with his loud whisper, which was heard by the min ister, " be dacent and! don't make a blackguard of yourself." i The parson grew more and more fervent in (he devotions. ' Presently the deacon u lered an inaudible groan. " Hi a s t,ye blackguard, have ye no daeency at all, at all t" said Pat, at the same moment giving the deacon a unch in the ribs, which caused htm nearly to lose his equilibrium. The minister stopped, and ex tending bis band in a supplicating manner, said, " Bretbren, we cannot be disluibed in (his way ; will t ome one be kind enough to put that man out?" ' j "Yes, yqur riverence," shouted Pat, "I will." , r . ; ! And suiting the action to the word, he col lared the deacon, and to the utter horror and astonishment of the pastor, brother Ingalls, and the whole congregation, he dragged hini thro' the aisle, and with a tremendous kick riposte riori. as the logicians. say, he landed him in the vestibule of the church, i ! xMEIUT AND GOOD FOIVr fj; A modest; youth 'started one . m: ; early to cross the great valley Df hum for thp temple of fame.-: 11c wa; .
