Who,'says Cobbet, in his third letter of 'Advice to Young Men,' 'is to teil whether a jjirl vvill mnke ah indusirious woman? How is the purblind lover, especially, abie to determine whether she whose seniles and dimples, and whose bewitching lips, have almost berefi Inm of bis senses - how is ke abie to judge from any thing that he can see whether the beloved object will be indusirious or lazy? - Why is it very difficult? 'There are,' says Maccin, 'certain ontward signs, if attended to with care, wlll .serve as pretty surc guides. Firat, ifyou find the'tongue lazy, "you may be quite sure the Itands and the feet are the Bttne. By lazineès of the tongue, I do not mean absence of talk, for that in most caaes is rery good, but I mean a slow and soft utteranco, a sort of siuging out of the wordt, in tead of speaking t hem - a sort of lelting the round fall out,, as if Uiey were sick at the toiiach. The pronunciation of nn industrious peraon, is quick Bnd distinct, and the voice if not strong, firm at least. Not raasculine, as feminine as possible; not a croak nor a bawl, but a quick, distinct, sound voice. Look a little at the labora of the teeth, for these correspond with the other members of the body, and see her work on a mutton chop nd a bit of bread and cheese, and if she deal quickly with these, you have good security for that iiidustry withoat which a wife a a burden instead of a help. Another mark of industry is a quick step, and a somewhat haugh tj tread, showing , that the foot comes down wtth a heavy good will. I do not like, and oever did like, your sauntering, soft-stepping girl, who move as if they were indifferent to the rcsult.' A BARBAROUS ASSAÜLT. The Baltimore Patnot statéa that on Tnursdy afternoon, the report of a gun was heard in littlo Sharp, nöar Fnyette street and simultaneous with it the frighlful scream of a female. Some of the neighbors, on repairing to the spot, found a colored w ornan, iiamcc Calharine Richardson, had been hot. F&rher exmninnlions hnving been made, it was found that a heavy charge of shot had entered the grom and other p&rta of her body, ptoducing a painful and very dangerous vvound. Upon the information of the poor woman'e husband, a man named James McArdc!, who lires next door, was arrested by Haye, Zeil, k Co., and brought before Justice Miltemberger, charged with the oifence. Tbere being no positivo white evldence, he was released on his recognizance, to appear for further examination. The accufied was again brought up yesterdty, by Isaac G. Roberts, a most mdefaüg&ble and efficiënt ofiicer, but for want ol proper testimony wasugain released. - Pit ts. Chron. ONE IDEA But you Liberty men have, but 'one idea.' Pray, teil us, how many ideas control the Whig and Democratie parties? One idea," indeed! And yet according to the teatimony of John Quincy Adams, slavery has associafed itself with e very great ques tion of the country. According to Governor Davis, it haa conlrolled all the officers of the Government. According to Mr. Cush ing t has göverned the decisión of every important nationa! question. According to exGovernor Seward, it is the cause of nearly all our uational cakmities! Surely if this be true, it is high time that this one idea ehould possess the na tion. - Philanshropist.
