' Baltimore Wji. H. Peakc ind Wm. Thomson MISCELLANY ON PRUDENCE AND DECORUM Though a woman before her marriage may-be admired for her gaiety, her danc ing, dress, panning, singing, &c. jet after it, we expect her character to display some thing more substantial. To a man t'ho must spend all his da3's in her company, ihese little superficial decorations would Speedily become insipid and unimportant. Love can be preserved only by the quali ties of the heart, and esteem secured by the domestic virtues. - A. man does not want to be dazzled in liis matrimonial connexion, or to possess a partner who seeks the admiration of cox combs or beaux. lie wants a person who will kindly divide and alleviate his cares, and prudently-arrange bis household. He seeks not a coquette, a fashioni.-t, a flirt: but a comfortable assistant, companion and friend. Oo ihe day of henmarriuge, says an ad mired writer, 4 a woman's tour of gaiety should end.' In one of the Gcntoo coun-uigMtfuringihiredrfing- day;- large fire is made, and the bride enters with a little "basket in her hand, containing all her orna ments, rude and simple as they are sh -lls. beads, &c. a 'mi flings them mto it : inti mating her intention of assuming, for the future, the dress as well as character of the matron O! that our American mitroiis would take a hint from these wild and un tu'ored Indians! How indecorous, offensive and slr.fu! is it, to see a woman exercising authority over her husband, and saying, ' I will have it so. It shall be done as I like.' But I should hope the number of those who adopt this unhecouiing and disgraceful manner is so small as to render it unnecessary for roe to enlarge on the subject. Never join in any jest or laugh against your husband. He may be a plain and insignificant, even a ridiculous man ; be it o ; why did you marry him? You should have known all these defects before mar riage. It is now too late ; and as a wife. r"(not to say a word of duty,) calls on you to hide his faults ; and whenever you possibty'can. to bring him forward, a: d make him of. importa nre. Assiduously conceal his faults, and speak only pf his merit. In the rmrried Jife, confidaDts ure by no means desirable. You maybe listened to with sympathy and interest but w ill this redress your griev ance ? by no moans. Therefore never complain of him. In the first place, you violate a sacred duly by exposing your husband's faults ; and in the next, even a certain decree of female dignity should combii-.e with better motives to prevent it I would also strongly recommend a con ceiilme.it from others of any little discord or disunion among' us. Repeated with ad ditions and aggravations, it only gives food to the busy whisper of the malevolent, and as the witty Richardson says, 'is sure to fee remembered long afier the honest po ,jle havi forgotten it themselves ' Besides. ,on these occasions, rely on it, the world is :roucb.jDore inclined to be your husband's advocate than yours. In my opinion, there can hardly be a ,inre despicable object than a martied wo man receiving tbc particular attentions of .any man but her husband. A. flirting girl is indeed bad enough ; but flirting married woman should be an ob jrcl of contempt wherever she appears. Perhaps your husband may be a plain J-cowri, or aji old man; and though possess ? 3nr both sense merit, and feeling, neither . -.cultivated nor captivating. Iet this cir V 'jcumstance make you peculiarly circum pect mj your ..conduct. The eye, of the world in pri you, and though your husband may sMfQia betray even by a look, any txpresida;)iettI?usJr believe me it gives iiim no pleasare. ;to see you dancing and .. chatting away -wiih every young man who ": approaches 'you' jjfor, at ibe, moment per " liaps when his good sense, and manly pride j. pjakc him smile, and join in tbe laugh and v around,- bis heart may be exceedingly -reJced.ahd fretted at what he is ashamed ' fr. . even lo acknowledge himself .To say the 'trutUj'l.never mek.withany bwRband, hand ; - i ome, ugly, young or old, who was pleas f --rjed aV seeing- His wife's, conveys'atiod and at- : . traction "muchenc-arred fav nir'min - - ' ... -. . v r j ... v. uibu. . j. if Z lie vou ever so conscious nr m anr;v;r - ,. axm IV! a,7 - ft "1 never let 'A? -wife t Be you ever so conscious tf yoi juugrnenvor-oi.iaieni,' never let it . .. appear to your - husband.4 A- wife ruled ! -besrby seeaitng to obey ' 'and man"c'an lectual endowments. The very idea of be ing reflected on makes him infinitely more .wedded to his own opinion, when perhaps a little management and good sense would bring him at once into your plans and wishes. "THEEYE. The following beautiful description of the Eye forms a part of the chapter upon L ght, in Anion's Physics, a work of great interest and learning: " But this miracle of light would have been totally useless, and the lovely para dise of earth would have been io man still a dark and dreary desert, had there not been the twin miracle of an organ of com mensurate delicacy to perceive the light, viz. of the eye ; in which there is the round corner of such perfect transparence, placed exactly in the anterior centre of the ball, (and elsewhere it had been useless) then exactly behind this the beautiful curtain, he imt",bs-'pTtph H i la ting in d "con tract tng to suit the intensity of light and ex actly behind this ogain, the chryslaline lens, having many qualities, which only complex structure in human art can attain, and by the entering light forming on the retina beautiful pictures and images of :he objects in front, the most sensible part of the retina being where the images fall. Of the parts and conditions, had any one Leen otherwise than as it is, the whole eye had been useless, and light useless, and the great universe useless to man, for he could not have existed in it. Then, farther, we find that the precious organ, the eye, is placet!, not as if by accident, somewhere near the centre of the person, but aloft on a proud eminence, where it becomes the .glorious watch-tower of the soul; and again not so that to alier its direction, the whole person must turn, but in the head, which, on a pivot of admirable structure, moves while the body is at rest; the bull of the eye, moreover, being furnished with muscles, which, as the will directs, turn it with the rapidity of lightning to sweep round the horizon, or take in the whole heavenly concave ; ihen is the delicate orb secured in a strong socket of bone, and there is over this, the arched eyebrow as a cushion, to destroy the shock of blows, and wiih its inclined "hairs to turn aside the descending perspiration, which might in cornmoile ; tnen there is the soft and pliant eyelid, with itsbeautious fringes, incessant ly wiping ihe polished surface, and spread ing t.ver it the pure moisture poured out I y ihe lacrymal irlands above, of which mois ture tile superfluity, by a fine mechanism, :s sent into the nose, there to be evapora ted by the current of the breath ; still fur ther, instead of there being only one so precious organ, there are two, lest one by accident should be destroyed, but which two have so entire a sympathy, that they act together as only one more perfect ; then the sense of sight continues perfect during the period of growth from birth to maturi ty, although the dist.-.nce from the lens to t le retina is const inly varying ; and ihe p ire liquid which fills the eye, if rendered tumid by disease or a ecu lent, is, by the actions of life, although its source be the ihick red blood, gradually restored to tran sparency. The mind, which can suppose or admit that within any limits of tim even a single such organ ol vision could have been produced by accident or without design. and still more, that the millions which now exist on earth, all equally per fect, can have sprung from accident or that the millions of millions in the past ages, were all but accidents and that the endless millions throughout the animate creation, where each requires a most pecu liar fitness to the nature and circumstances of the animal, can be accident, must surely oe of extraordinary character, or must have received unhappy bias in its education.

'I never seen a ghost,' saitl Timotlij Skwiogs, wiping the erspiralion from his thin face with the sleeve of bis coal, at the conclusion of one of Peter Cromp's mar velous yarns; -I never seen a ghost, and what is more. I don't believe in 'era.' . Ver don't V replied ihe rapper, with n piij ing sne.r. 'Only jest wait tilltQO see one some moonsbifty night, and wen its great goggle eyes oufa4at&yoitirti and its urful mt'ith spits fire and brimstone slam into yer face, then tell it to its f..ce" yer lon't believe in 'em.' A Sympathising shudder run through the group around the bar, and several angry murmurs al the Ut ile tailor's hardness of belief passed round. 'I don't believe in 'em continued Timothy Skwioo-j. by no means disconcerted at these marks of disapprobation, 'and if I was to see one, I would not run away like the man you lold about, but 1 would stop and talk to if, that I might see if it was a ghost or not.' Yer a heathen !' shouted Peter Crumps his ej'es glaring wiih indignation at ihe tailor: ;anJ if I was to try i should find vou were a coward, too. You wouldn't face a ghost for yer life.' 'Wouldn't I?' replied the tailor, drawing himself up, 'jest try tne. liiitig on yer ghost, and see if I'm afraid of htm.' 'That's all very fine,' remarked a bystan der. 'Such gentry as ghost's don't gener ally come into a grocery and call for a glass of whiskey, like common men; they go night-walking around old ruins and such like places. Swaggering about bringing on a ghost now, only shows that you are afraid to meet hiru at the proper time.' '1 am not afraid to meet on j at any time or place,' retorted Iimoihy Skwiggs, brist ling up at this imputation on his cour age. Will you stake abet 0:1 that? Bet drinks all round eh?' 'To be sure I will.' 'Gentlemen, yon have heard,' continued the? speaker, his eyes sparkling some hid den mischief. 'llow will you try ill' inquired Peter Crump. Yes. how siihll we try it ?' said Timothy Sk wiggs. I've got it all arranged You know Murder Spring, of course?' Where the woman who come for water was murdered by the Injtns?' To be sure we do. You know too. that they say t lint ihe gho.-l of the murdered woman rambles around the .-priiig, waiiino- ior vengeance 0:1 the murderin' lnjitis, and that she will always ramble around until every Injin be tween Maine and California has s'epped otit.' To be sure.' broke in Peter Crump ; when iny father came out here first, he seen her when he was out coon hunting some IjIks wanted to make out twi.s a blazed iree, but he waru't such a dar:..tioii lool not to know tl difference between a blaze 1 slump and a woman.' 'What of that V Inquired Timothy Skwiggs, not without considerable tnisgiv ings. 'Why, I promise that you keep watch by that Spring till after midnight, and at half past one we'll all come out together to see how you liked it.' 'Hoora !' shouted Peter Crump : 'if you oin'i convicted of the truth of ghosts afore that time. I'll stan ! the drinks myself.' It was with considerable hesitation that riinothy Skwiggs agreed to this arrange ment ; but as he had swaggered so repeat edly about his willingness to face a super natural visiter, he was ashamed to back out, so he went home with a heavy heart to concoct so:ue plan by which he could visit the hauntenl Spring without incurring the awful displeasure of his belter and big ger half. As the. day wore away, he became ex tremely fidgety ; his amiable spouse warn ed him no, to m ike such a fool of himself, and inquired if he 'had got a million of 'skeeters in his shirt,' threatening that if he ( t n-i--b. have hime!f. like a christian' she'tl ;comb his noodle' for him, at which promise he scratched his head and became still. When night came he jumped off his shop-boar l took up a bundle of clothes, and left with the excuse of 'waiting on a cus tomer.' 'And see ye'er home brighi and early.' shrieked his spouse afier him, 'for if you get tipplincr with them loafers down in the grocery, I'll make a hole in your head for you.' Delivering his bundle at a proper place: he made his way to the forbidden grocery where he was hailed by a knot of idlers who had congregated to witness hi3 depar ture for the haunted Spring. 'Here, old cock,' said Peter Crump, slap ping him on the back, 'take a glass of whiskey to get your dander up. You may set too much spirits by-and-by", you know.' 'Don't go if you'r afraid,' put in the man who started the proposition, 'we'll let 'you off the bet rather than you should be fright ened to death.' J' . ' ' ' 'I ain't afraid,' replied the Uiilo'r, though in truth his heart was going pit-a-pat, just like the beat of a steamer's -paddle-wheels on a still evening. 'Let's be off, then. We'll see you as far as the Spring, and then leave you there to your meditations.' After another drink all round, the party started Off, each one' persuading Timothy. Skwigga to give it up if he felt aijy way skeervTand be as stoutlj denymhis wish to do so, though his kneea grewweaker at every, step towards, the gloomy spot They had scarce! golteyond, the edge of the village when Peter.Crump declared hUtsmclraau-.tojprocc furtb- 'DarnM if I go another inchhe exclaim ed, doggedljlbow do InoV the- cussed thing wont come and .grab onfc for talking about her? ,Tbe jrtmtnen arc a plaguj sort of cattle to deal -wiih whe they are living, and thev must be con founded" -m ii chief making sort of ghosts.' - U was no use lo- talk with him ; home he would go ; and sq the went on-without him, whilst he re-enfered the village. So far. however, from going home, he proceed ed straight to the domicile of ihe unhappy tiilor, and stood befora the portly form of Skwigjra feroiniue.

When Timothy Skwiggs was left by his ' escort, and set himself down by the Spring to wait till the expiration of the allotted lime, he began to have serious .. misgiving about the" wisduui of his ,boasting and skepticism. It was not by any means an enviable situation and a man of whom more might be expected than of the puny tailor, mifrht have felt skeerv.V The hazy moon was shuffling among the-clouds like a flickering rushlight bobbing about behind a rng-stiiffed window.-.
