Women aud Marriage.

EY WASHINGTON IRVING.

I have speculated a great deal upon matrimony. I have seen young aud beautiful women, the pride of gay circles, married—as the world says —well! Some have moved into costly houses, and their friends have all come and looked at their fine furniture and their splendid arrangements for happiness, and they have gone away and committed them to t/ieir tunny hopes .cheerfully and without lear. It is natural to be sanguine for the young, and at such times I am carried away by similar feelings. 1 love to get unobserved into a corner, and watch the bride in her white attire, and with her smiling face, and her soft eyes moving befoie me in their pride of life, weave a waking dream of her future happiness, and persuade myself that it will be true. 1 think how they will sit upon the luxurious sofa as the twilight falls, and build gay hopes, and murrner in low tones the now forbidden tenderness and how thrillingly the hallowed kiss, and the beautiful endearments of wedded life, will make even their parting joyous, and how gladly come buck from the crowd and the empty mirth of the gay to each other's quiet company, I picture to myself that young creature who blushes even now at his hesitating caress, listening eagerly for his footsteps as the night steals on, and wishing that he would come and when he enters at last, and with an afi'ection as undying as his pulse, folds her to his bosom. I can lee! the very tide that goes flowing through his heart, and gaze with him on that graceful form as she moves about him for the kind offices of affection, soothing all his unquiet cares, and making him forget even himself in her young and unshadowing beauty.

I go forward for years, and see her luxuriant hair put soberly away from her brow and her girlish graces ripen into dignity, and her bright loveliness chastened with the gentle meekness of maternal affection, ller husband looks on her with a proud eye, and shows her the same fervent love and delicate attentions which first won her, and fair children are growing about them, and they go on full of honor and untroubled year*, and are remembered lien they die!

I say love to dream thus when 1 go to give the young bride joy. It i-.-the natural tendency of feeling touch ed by lowliness, that fears nothing for itself anti if ever 1 yield to darkend ft-clinys, it is because the. hghi of the picture is changed. 1 am not fond of dwelling upon such changes, and 1 wiil not minutely now. 1 allude to it only because I trust thai my simple pajje will be read by some of the young and beautiful beings who daily move across my path and I would wisper to them as the)- glide by joyously and confidently, the se cret an unclouded future.

The picture 1 have drawn abfjve is not peculiar. It is colored like the fancies of the bride and many oh! many an hour will she sit, with her rich jewels lying loosely in her fingers and dream such dreams as these. She believes them too—and she goe.on for a while undeceived. The eve ninu is not too long while they talk ol plans for happiness, and the quiet meal is still a pleasant and delightful novelty of mutual reliance and atten tion. There comes soon, however, a time when personal topics become bare and wearisome, and slight attentions will not alone keep up the social excitement. There are long intervals of silence, and detected pymptoms of weariness and the bus band, first, in his manhood breaks in upon the hours they were wont to spend together. I cannot follow it circumstantially. There comes long hours of unhappy restlessness, and terrible misgivings of each other's worth and affection, till, by and by they can conceal their uneasiness no longer, and go out seperately to seek relief, and lean upon the hollow world for the support which one who was their lover and friend could not give them!

Heed this, ye who are winning by your innocent beauty, the affection of high-minded and thinking beings Remember that he will give up the brother of his heart, with whom he has had even a fellowship of mind, the society ot his contemporary runners in the race of fame, who have held with him a stern companionship and frequently, in his passionate love, he will break away from the arena of his burning ambition, to come, to listen to the "voice of the charmer."— It will bewilder him at first but it will not long. And then, think you that an idle blandishment will change the mind that has been used, for years, to on equal communion? Think you he will give up for a weak dalliance, the animating themes of men, and the search into the mysteries of knowledge? Oh, no, lady! believe me, no! Trust not you„r influence to such light fetters. Credit not the old fashioned absurdity, that woman is a secondary lot, ministering to the her lord and masteri—~

If your immortality is as complete, and your gift of mind as capable as ours, I would put no wisdom of mine, against God's allotment. I would charge you to water the undying blood, and give it a healthy culture, and open its beauty to the sun and then you may hope that, when your life is bound with another, you will go on equally, and with a fellowship that shall pervade every earthly interest.

Senator Cooper opposed the bill aa unjust, and calculated to revive the slavery agitation, and said that when he was in the committee of thirteen on the Compromise measures of 1850 he suggested to Mr. Clay the possi-| bility ot these measures conflicting with the Missouri Compromise. Mr. Clay replied: "My dear sir, no, they confirm it."

Mr. Broadhead avowed his intention of speaking in favor of the bill to morrow.

HOUSE.—An effort was made to provide an interpreter for Mr. Galle-1 gas, the delegate from New Mexico.

A member suggested that he ought to learn English, and the subject was dropped.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.—House—Resumed the consideration of a motion to refer to the committee of the whole on the state of the Union, the Senate bill WHS taken up granting lands in Wisconsin for railroad purposes. A discussion ensued, pending which, the morning session expired before the subject was disposed of.

The House went into committee on the homestead bill. Numemas amendments were proposed and discussed.

Mr. Wright, of Pennsylvania, offered an amendment confining the homestead of free white persons.—: After much debate, in which Mr. Gid-dings-defended the rights of the col--ored men, amendments were adopted without prefixing the first section of the bill. House adjourned.
