According to liis own account, the female society by which ha wae surrounded had a soothing effect on his meI-D ancholy. The charms of Miss Gat-ey,- the sister of the bride, seem even tfthaVe caused a slight fluttering in his bosom J Which however, was constantly rebuked by the remembrance of his former passion—so at least we judge from letters to his youthful confidents, rough drafts of which are still to be seen in his tell-tale journal. We ara Dot informed whether Washing ton had met with her before ; probably not during her widowhood, as during that time he had been almost continually on the frontier. We have shown that with all his gravity and reserve, lie was quickly sasceptable to (female charms ; and they may have had a greater effect upon him when thus casually encountered in fleeting moments snatchcd from the cares and perplexities and rude scenes of frontier warfare. At any rate his heart appears to have been taken by surprise. If ths present is a period of extravagant practices and still more extravagant theories respecting the sphere and the duties of woman, in which she is urged to barter away her silent and humanizing influences in the domestic circle for the contests of the field and the torum, it is also one in which sound and salutary innovations upon ancient law have been extensively made in her favor.

George Fairfax's wife a sister,) but as that's only adding fuel to the fire, it makes me the more uneasy, lor by often and unavoidably being in company with her, revives my former passion for your Lowland Beauty j whereas, was 1 to live more reiircd lrom yonng women, I might in some measure alleviate the sorrows by burying thnt chaste and troublesome passion in the grave of oblivion," 8o. Similar avowals he makes to another of his young correspondents, whom he styles "Dear friend John," as also/to a female confident, styled " Dear Sally," to whom he acknowledges that the company of tho '•very agreeable young lad W sister In law of Colonal George Fairfax,"' in a great measure cheers his sorrow and dejected-' ness. The object of his early passion is not positively known. Tradition etntes that tho 'lowland beauty' was a Miss Grimes, of Westmoreland, afterwards Mrs. Lee, and mother of Generate Henry Lee, who figured in revolutionary history as " Light Horse Harry," and was always a favorite with Washington' probably from the recollec'ions of his early tenderness for the motlier. The old rule of the English law, by which the existence ol the wife was merged into that of her husband, and her power ol holding or acquiring property during marriage was absolutely suspended, has found many able advocates from Mansfield to Marshall, on the grounds of its promotion of harmony and peace in wed* ded life. Notwithstanding these considerations, the opposing *ystem Which prevails on the Continent and in Louisiana, and recognizes a woman as entitled Id some interest in her property, and to a legal existence as well after as before marriage, is rapidly rising into favor throughout the entire United States. Within the last left years the popular feeling on the subject has been clearly manifested in a variety of acts of the various State Legislatures. A short time since an act passed the Legislature of Wisconsin which empowers a married woman, in the case of the habitual drunkenness or desertion of her husband, to carry on business in her own name.— An effort wae made la*t Winter to pass a similar act in our own Legislature,  should constitute a married woman in certain cases a sole trader. Its proposal seems, however, to have been made a little in advance of public opinion, and it failed to pass. It is interesting to notice the rapid mannor in which innovations on the old law bearing upon this subject have taken place and also to observe in general how promptly any .pleasure of reform which originates in one State and commends itself to the approbation of the public, is reenacted in the other members of the Confederacy.

There win be ho doubt of ihe injustice of the old law in many of its features respecting the rights of married women.— It had been adopted under different institutions, and at a period of less perfect civilization than that in which our lot is cast. And no better argument need bo adduced to demonstrate the propriety of a change, than the fact that its practical hardships and injuHtice have led the Legislatures of so many States after mature deliberation, to abolish it, and to substitute those more just and luminous principles which constitute a portion of the glory of the Civil Law; jvo. 139 jfORTH Tiirnn st., {AitorE n.icr,) Washington's love ai-fairs Tradition gives very different motives from those of business for his two sojourns in the latter city.

PHILADELPHIA. PA. In one of these manuscript memorials of his practical studies and exercises, we have come upon Rome documents singularly in contrast with ull that we huve just cited and with his apparently unromautic character. In a word, there arc evidences in his own hand writing that, before he was fifteen years of age, he had conceived a passion for some unknown beauty, so serious ns to disturb his otherwise well regulated mfnd and to make him really unhappy. Why this juvenile attachment was a source of unhappiness we have no positive means of asccrtoining. Perhaps the object of it may have considered him a mere school bov and treated him as such ; or his own shyness may have been in his way, and his " rules for behavior and conversation" may us yet have sat awkwardly on him and rendered him formal and ungainly when he most sought lo please. Even in later years he was apt to be silent and embarrassed in female society. " He was a very bashful young man," said an old lady whom he used to visit when (hey were both in their nonage.

Good.—A traveller once arrived at a village inn alter a hard day's travel, and being very tired, requested a room (o sleep in ; but the landlord said they were entirely full, and that it was utterly impossible to accommodate him—tiiat his w ife had to sleep on the sola and himself on the floor ; but he would see what his wife oould do for him. The good woman, on being applied to, said there was a room which he might occupy, provided he would agree to tho conditions, viz: to enter the roorfi late in the dark, and leave it early in the morning to prevent scandcl, as the room was occupied by a lady. This he agreed to do. About twoo'clook in tho morning an awful noiso was heard in the houje, and our friend the traveller was soon heard tumbling heels over head down the stairs. Our landlord, on arriving at the spot, inquired what the malter was. The traveller ejaculated, as soon as he was able to speak— "Oh, Lord ! that woman's dead !"

And, by reserving to women the control of their property at all times, the temptations to mercenary matches are lessened.

Here he continued his Mathematical studies and his practice of Surveying, disturbed at times by recurrences of his unlucky passion. Though by no means of a poetical temperament, the waste pages of his journal betray several attempts fo pour forth his amorous sorrows in verse. They are more commonplace rhymes, such a* lovers at his age are apt to write, in which he bewail* his " poor restless heart, wounded by Cupid's dart," and " bleeding for one who remains pittiless of his griefs and woes." The tenor of somo of his verses induces us lo believe that he never told his love, but, as We have already surmised was prevented by his bashfulness. DENTISTRY E. Wholesale Liqii EVAN, n Mcrclianls.

It is difficult to reconcile one's self lo the idea of the cool and sedate Washington, the great champion of American liber, ty, a woe-worn lover in his youthful days, "sighing like a furnace" and indicting plainiive verses about the groves of Mount Vernon. We are glad of an opportunity, however, of penetrating to his native feelings, and finding that under his studied decorum and reserve he had a heart of flesh, throbbing with the warm impulses of htiman nature. The meats of Washington wero knowr. and appreciated by the Fairfax family.— Though not quite sixteen years of age he no longer seemed a boy, nor was lie treated as such.

In the rural sections of Philadelphia, it is said, they r.ever looked better, and such is the report that reachos us irom the interior. The Bucks county Intelligencer Says— " The crops present a very flattering appearance in the lower section of the county, and the farmers are now hurrying their wheat out of their granaries to mar. ket at $2 75 per bushel, as well as their corn at 9l|75 pei bushel, and oats from 68 to 70 cents. ThBt Sat.—Whenever anybody comes to you with a story concerning somebody or anything and prefaces it with the stereotyped phrase " they say " you may rest assured that nine times out of ten, that report; remark or story, is a He. When the author of a report must be suppressed, there is something rotten in "Denmark."- No stery, true in all its parts, need be prefaced with " they say."
