I'm growing dyspeptic and somewhat irretnble, and can't put up with boarding out any longer. Nothing goes right with me; but I think if 1 had a good sensible wife that wouldn't mind disoommodating herself to accommodate me, I should be quite happy. Never yet had I the good luck to find one that I thought would suit me; but I like this advertisement much, and I think I'll venture to enter the lists." " Upon the decease of my wife, It is my will and desire that all the slave* which I hold in my own right, shall receive their freedom. To emancipate them darinr her life, would, though earnestly wished by me, bo attended with such insuperable difficulties, on account of their intermixture by marriages with the dower negroes, as to excite the most painful sensations, if not disagreeable consequences from the latter, while both descriptions are in the occupancy of the same proprietor, it not being in my power, under the tenure by which the dower negroes are held, to manumit them."

A sweet country home, with roses and honey-suckles trained to climb over it, with good taste, Intelligence and beauty within, toil enough to insure health, and leisure enough to court acquaintances with books and flowers and the loveliness of nature ; with peace, plenty, and love, is surely one of the Paradises which hoaven has left for the attainment of man.

A Southern lady, -who is a slaveholder, made a bitter remark at Washington the other day, in rotation to Brooks' assault upon Mr. Sumner. Mentioning the fact that the State of South Carolina presented a sword to Colonel Fremont for his services in the conquest of California, she said, " South Carolina presents her heroes with swords and her cowards with canes." But such a pliant Southern tool Will have to fly the track. Oh, slavery weighs him dowuso tight, The course he cannot keep; The man who caught thj wooly horse Will surely head the sheep.

Wait till November, Ac. The Wifo of the celebrated Lord Clarendon the author of the History of the Rebellion, was a Welsh pot-girl, who, being extremely poor in hor own country, journeyed to Loudon to better her fortune, aud became servant to a brewer. While she was in tai shumble capacity, the wife of her master died, und ho happening to fix his affections on hor she be* came his wife, Ifimself dying soonaftar, left her heir to his property, which is said to have amounted to between JC20,000 und £30,000.—r Amongst those who frequented the tap at the brewery was a Hyde, then t poor barrister, who conceived the project of forming a matrimonial alliance with ner. He succeeded, and soon led the brewer's widow to the altar. Mr. Hyde being endowded with great talent, and now ut the command of a large fortune, quickly rose in his profession, becoming head of the Chancery bench, and was afterwards the celebrated Hyde, JJarl of Clarendon. The eldest daughter, the offspring of this union, won the heart of James, Duke of York, and was married to him. Charles II sent immediately for his brother, and having first plied him with some very sharp raillery on the subject finished by spying—."'James, as you have brewn so von must drink," nnd forthwith commanded that the marriage should be legally ratified and promulgated. Upon the death of Charles, James the II mounted the throne, but a premature death frustrated this enviable conciliation in the person of his amiable Duchess. Her daughters however, were Queen Mary, the wife of William III, and Queen Anne, both grand-children of the ei devcuU pot-girl from Wales, aud wearing in succession the orown of England, CURIOUS HISTORICAL FACTS THE QUAKERS.

Although Angeline closely questioned all the others, she asked him only two—first his Age, and then if he had ever been married. TluD answer to the last beinjg in tho  tive, she merely replied: " Sir, if you nave lived forty-flvc years, and never, as you say, lieen able to find a woman that suitcil you, be assurdd that I um not the one who could suit you now, for an angel from Heaven could not do it.

She then left liim to repent of his folly at his leisure, as most old baelujlors do when it is'too late. There is a youth now living in the United States, or its territories, says the Pittsburg Post, who will be President of this Kepublic in 1900. We venture that prediction. But where he is and what his name, no human sagacity can now discover; and no facts in our past history can dedicate. And the Kepublic what will be its character, its power, its limit at that not distant day 7 Seventy millions of people, fra# and intelligent, and striving with restless energy for wealth or fame, will stretch over the continent from ocean to ocean and it may be, from the Panama Isthmus to the frozen realms of the North. A commerce more rich and wido-snread than was ever possessed by a nntion before, will be protected by fleets that will insure justi#3 and safoty to all who bear the American flag. While railroads and telegraph*, steam ana lightning will afford that easy and rapid communication, and interchange of thought and sentiment that assimilate the most distant communities to each other, and bind Jthem together with t)te strong bonds of common interest, friendship and freedom. The Union preserved and prosperous as heretofore,-such will bo its proud position, its power and glory then.

No prinoe is he; no Gpalph or Bourbon. IIo may b« running barefooted at this moment among the whortleberry bushss of Ore{;on, or over the granite hills of Now Engand, the cotton fields of the south or the prairies of the west. He maybe as we write, playing his task at some printer's case, or listening to the oft told legends of a grandsire, who fought for freedom with Washington.— Or he may be even now spelling his way to the head of his class in some public school in Pittsburg. "Wherever he may be, all unoonsciuus of his high destiny, he feels the divinity that stirs within him; and grasps his book, thirsting for knowledge. Ilis parents, as they answer his endless querries, rejoice at his developing intellect, yet little dream that his will be a great name among men, known wide as the world, and immortal as history. Or perchance the hard hand of poverty, or the cold hefad of orphanage, are moulding and training him for that patient effort, that self reliance and resolute will, that lit him for great achievements. He must pass thro' the school that p»opares him for his high career. In his youth many a trial and wrong must break him to the harness of life. In his manhood many hardships must be endured ; manv obstacles overcome, and rivals outstripped in the race; the voice of envy and detraction despisod, and hatred and malice defied. Through such a whool and training, the President of 1000 will doubtless come ; and is now coming. But from wh;vt condition in life, from what part of our broad land, bo one can predict or know but Providence who presides over the destinies of all nations. No mother, aa she teaches her child his early lessons, can tell to what high station he muy yet attain in a free land. No father, as he trains his son, and moulds hi* character can foresee what influence that son may wield over the next generation. In the year 1900, probably forty governors will rule over as many States, Thousands of Senators and representatives will sit in the councils of the nation, and the States, Hundreds of judges will administer the laws, and thousands of other poet* of -honor and high trust will be equally open to all endowed with ordinary ability, retained to exertion and stimulated by a just ambition. Many of the merchant princes, wealthy agriculturists, honored mechanics and inventors of that day will be sons of the poor j endowed by their parents only with habits of industry, and an eduoation that all may attain in this land of schools. Let all parents educate their children, and train them to habits ot dUUgence and virtue. Wl What the reason was that Miss Angeline Louisa Hopewell never had any other offer, her best friends could never imagine, for they gave their unanimous opinion that she would nrake a noble wife—so much better fitted for a good companion than three-fourths of the fashionable flirts, who get married only to be a " bill of costs" to their husband.

That's the way, girls, to fitad out the widowers; just ask thoir dead wife's relatives, and be sure if there's the least flaw in the man, you'll hear of it. Remember this. But Angeline could learn no faults that her Simon possessed, and in a woek she became hie wife N'oither of them will probably ever repent tbeir choice, for Simon hae found out that Angeline was of the right age, and Angeline blesses the day which ushered in another leap year.

Most probably the true reason was that she never put herself forward by running after ihe beaux, as sho was very modest ana unassuming—two most excellent traits in a young lady.

Kate lojd me yesterday tlmt no one would t#ke me tor moro than twenty. But then I must make some allowance for her partially, for she also declares that I aui handsome, and I know better than to believe that. However, as there's not a grey hair on my head, not u wrinkle on my brow, not a crow's foot at the cower of my eye, 1 think I should easily pass for twenty-hve. At $.af sate, to-morrow I an going to improve the privilege allotted to my sex, and I intend to persevere until I succeed in the accomplishment of ray purpose. Perseverance is my motto—Hvpe-wM is my name, and hope-tee# is my nature, for I have ever hoped for the best through life. Perhaps that is what has kept the wrinkles from my brow, looking always on the bright side. I am in no particular hurry to get married; indeed, I think Lnever would, were for the obloquy always cast upon . .1.1 nuiids, for I can never be any happier than I am with my parents.

I seek not to flatter them ; for before they can become this, they will have to make an earnest effort of one or two kinds. There are some who depreciate thier condition, and some who have a false pride in it, because they demand more consideration than they merit. A want of inteligeuce upon all sutjjeott of the dny And of a reliuod education, is no more exc useable in a counry than in a town bred girl, in these days of many books and newspupers. Many girls are discouraged because they connot be sent away to hoarding school; but men of superior minds and knowledge of the world would rather have for wives, women well and properly pducated a.t home. And this education can be had where the desire is not wanting.

I will state why I think the country girls are yet to prove the bopeoftbls oountry. The women in towns and cities are becoming so uuiveraally unhealthy, and as almost universally extravagant, 1'uoli.h, ftu&voiwible, that men are almost in despair of gotingwives who are not Invalids, and providing them with what they demand alter they have married them.
